# Chapter 1479: Teresa Resurrects the Entire City!
"You! Just! Who are you!!!"
A scream filled with extreme anger suddenly echoed through the sky above Palatine Hill.
But looking out, one could only see a square, platinum-gold barrier covering the area where Domitian Palace was located.
It was impossible to see what was happening inside.
At this time, the sky gradually lightened, and dawn was approaching.
The once magnificent Domitian Palace now lay in ruins, completely dilapidated.
In the center, which had been turned into a wasteland,
Demon Queen Fafuhner, who had somehow returned to her human form, glared angrily at Yejian Tsukahara, Isaac, Uchiha Kokuu, Vittorio, and Teresa, who was flying in the air, surrounding her.
At this moment, her dress was torn, and she was in a sorry state.
Although her expression was fierce, her aura was weak, and she was even panting heavily, clearly in a very bad situation.
However, her appearance was as beautiful and enchanting as ever.
Looking at the platinum-gold barrier overhead that sealed the entire area.
Fafuhner truly did not expect that these people would think of, or rather, would have such a method to deal with her.
The main purpose of those hateful barriers was not to trap her, but to block the hatred coming from all directions.
They prevented the hatred from surging into her body and transforming into a continuous supply of Yoki!
And the ones who constructed the barrier were Pontiff Vittorio and Teresa.
Or rather, it was initially Pontiff Vittorio's own idea.
He gave up on the treatment of Yejian Tsukahara and Uchiha Kokuu, and instead used holy magic power to deploy a barrier to seal the area, solely to cut off Fafuhner's external energy source.
Otherwise, even if they fought for a year and a half, they probably wouldn't be able to outlast her.
The negative energy in the Claymore World had accumulated far too much during the Thousand-Year War.
New hatred, despair, and suffering were even born every moment.
But this process was not easy for Pontiff Vittorio either.
Although holy magic power had a good restraint effect on these negative emotions.
He was, after all, facing the pressure of the entire world alone.
Fortunately, Teresa, who suddenly descended from the sky and didn't even have time to introduce herself, injected her Rabona's Divine Power into the magic barrier, helping Pontiff Vittorio bear most of the pressure.
In this way, this battlefield finally returned to fairness, and Fafuhner no longer had Yoki replenishment.
She could only rely on the Yoki generated by herself to engage in fierce battle with Yejian Tsukahara, Isaac, and Uchiha Kokuu.
Facts proved that collaboration and cooperation were indeed very important.
Yejian Tsukahara, as the strongest, served as the main attacker.
Uchiha Kokuu occasionally used Susanoo to block attacks, and occasionally controlled Amaterasu's black flames to harass in conjunction with Isaac's alchemy lightning.
Whether it was Amaterasu, which could burn Yoki and was inextinguishable once it adhered, or alchemy lightning, which could instantly disintegrate any substance.
Fafuhner could not treat them lightly and had to dodge every single attack.
The three of them cooperated with each other, preventing her from getting a chance to attack Pontiff Vittorio.
Even if she occasionally found an opening, Isaac would use alchemy to manipulate the terrain over a large area.
Using wind, fire, thunder, and earth, he created layered obstacles to block Fafuhner while helping Pontiff Vittorio, who stood at the original spot, and Giulio, who guarded beside him, transfer their position.
They didn't even need to move a single step themselves, truly perfect support.
Fighting until now,
Fafuhner received more and more damage, while the Yoki she recovered was insufficient to meet the demand.
This made her start to feel panicked and afraid, and such screams were frequently emitted.
However, Yejian Tsukahara and the others had no intention of communication.
Maintaining their formation, they continued to relentlessly pursue and strike at this Demon Queen with their blades.
Because they had already seen that Fafuhner was about to collapse!
Indeed.
The combat continued from early morning until the scorching sun was directly overhead, at noon.
As Yejian Tsukahara's blade fell once again.
Fafuhner could no longer hold on. Amidst the purple blood splashing on her chest, she knelt down powerlessly, disregarding her revealing state.
The next second.
Isaac used Stigma Alchemy, utilizing the earth and stone at the scene to manufacture high-strength memory alloy shackles, immediately locking her both hands and feet.
Then Pontiff Vittorio condensed the surrounding magic barrier into a platinum-gold rope and tightly bound her.
Teresa understood immediately.
She immediately controlled the Rabona's Divine Power within the light rope, turning it into a faint thin layer that adhered to Fafuhner's body surface, continuing to prevent external negative energy.
Finally, Uchiha Kokuu stepped forward.
Using the dojutsu power of his Mangekyo Sharingan, he controlled Fafuhner's consciousness, which had become extremely weak.
Completing the final step of the arrest of this Claymore Demon Dragon.
At the same time.
The combat on all sides had also basically ended.
Especially the squads responsible for dealing with the dragonkin within the palaces on the four sides, they suffered heavy casualties.
According to the ASC's evaluation, each dragonkin had combat power comparable to a Brigadier General.
Don't underestimate it just because it's the lowest general rank, that's still general-level combat power!
Coupled with a large number of awakened beings generally between Colonel and Senior Colonel, it's not hard to imagine how much pressure each squad had to face.
Leaving aside the injured, just talking about the deceased.
The second squad that went to the east side Diocletian Palace.
The B-rank mage who was too aloof to give his name and the Flame Alchemist, Roy Mustang, died in battle.
The third squad that went to the south side Severus Palace.
Another B-rank mage who was unwilling to give his name and the Crimson Lotus Alchemist, Solf J. Kimblee, died in battle.
The fourth squad that went to the west Caligula Palace.
Balanta of the Tiger Mink Tribe, a Gold-Rank Duelist, the Strong-Arm Alchemist Alex Louis Armstrong, and Taeko, died in battle.
Yes, only Little A from this squad was still alive.
But the most tragic were the sixth squad and seventh squad that went to the north Tiberius Palace.
Only Millie, Galatea, and Vergo, Steve Guts, and Bask Gran, who arrived later as support, were alive.
Tabitha, Cynthia, Yuma, Deneve, Helen, and Audrey, all six of them, died!
"Damn it, everyone..."
Millie, covered in wounds, knelt on her knees, looking at the corpses of her partners one by one, tears streaming down her face, her eyes red.
This scene reminded her of the Northern War seven years ago.
At that time, she was also in command, but only a few people survived.
Galatea, whose sight had recovered, stood behind her, looking at her back with a sad face.
It was evident that it was still somewhat difficult for these Claymore Warriors to withstand a group of dragonkin and awakened beings.
As for these things,
The people inside Domitian Palace were still unaware.
"Phew----"
"Is it finally over? What a powerful Demon Dragon!"
Yejian Tsukahara looked at Fafuhner and let out a sigh of relief.
If he were alone, it would probably be very difficult to defeat her. Of course, it would also be difficult for her to defeat him.
Mainly, as a pure Great Swordsman, he truly had no method to restrict Fafuhner's infinite regeneration.
Especially since this was her home turf, if they truly fought to the end, the one who would suffer defeat would definitely be himself.
"Yes, but thanks to this... uh, may I ask who you are?"
Isaac looked at Teresa in her four-winged angel form in the air with doubt.
Pontiff Vittorio, Uchiha Kokuu, and the others also looked up.
"Rabona, I suppose... a god of this world."
Teresa thought for a moment, then gave this answer with a gentle smile.
"To the gentlemen of the World Government, thank you very much for saving this world."
"For this, I will resurrect all the innocent people who sacrificed in this combat!"
Yejian Tsukahara, Isaac, Uchiha Kokuu, Pontiff Vittorio, and Giulio were stunned on the spot when they heard this.
Resurrect everyone?
Is she that amazing!
Immediately after, they saw Teresa act on her promise, accelerating and flying to a higher sky, her figure almost merging with the scorching sun.
For her, since she had already made the decision to give up the identity of Lord of the Underworld.
Then before giving it up, she would make good use of its authority one last time!
