Chapter 176: The Fraternal Demon King: Using the Power of the Entire Demon Race to Attack Dawn!
Just as the King of Pride worried that Ian might be setting a trap for him, he kept talking without daring to act.
Ian didn't have much faith in the Demon King's integrity either. Moreover, he couldn't leave the Ancient Tree of Life at the moment. In reality, only Feng Wang and Lugia were present.
Both of them were bluffing, but Ian was clearly better at it. After the King of Pride disappeared for a long time, Ian used the power of the Seven Sacred Objects to check the entire Merfolk race, confirming that the King of Pride had no other tricks up his sleeve, before gradually disappearing.
Before disappearing, Ian glanced at the Merfolk, including Neptune, who were ashen with despair, and shook his head.
This time, the Merfolk race was truly too clever for their own good. As expected, having lost two Legendaries, and with the Lunar Halo refusing to protect them, the Merfolk race would completely fall from the ranks of the great Roderick tribes.
In the future, they could only submit to Dawn.
"Lily Aias."
Hearing Ian call her name, Lily Aias quickly responded.
"I am here, Your Holiness."
Ian said softly:
"The Lunar Halo has not yet recovered. You will stay with the Merfolk for a few days. After Lugia and Feng Wang heal the Lunar Halo, escort the fallen warriors back to the Land of Origin. At the victory celebration, I will resurrect them."
Hearing Ian say this, even those who had expected it couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Cheers erupted.
"Your Holiness is merciful!"
Ian continued to instruct:
"Send the Lunar Halo to Brunsnow Port. Uriel has already found a place for it."
Lily Aias nodded in agreement. After watching Ian's projection disappear, she glanced at Neptune, who was slumped on the ground like a living corpse.
She sighed in her heart.
The Merfolk race now needed to calm down and accept this unfortunate reality.
Feng Wang scattered flames, which landed on the injured, instantly restoring them, whether they had lost limbs or suffered minor injuries.
God of Life…
Lily Aias lowered her head to Feng Wang with piety.
"Bishop Lily Aias…"
Neptune struggled to get up and approached Lily Aias, then suddenly knelt down, holding onto the last ray of hope, his voice trembling.
"Could Your Holiness…"
Before he could finish speaking, Lily Aias shook her head.
"Accept reality…"
"The resurrection spell is not without limitations. Only those who submit to Dawn early, offer their faith, and gain Dawn's attention can be resurrected. The Merfolk race has not…"
"Moreover, resurrection requires a corpse. Your father and the Merfolk's Great Elder are already…"
Neptune fell silent, and after a long time, he gave a desolate laugh.
"I understand. Thank you, Bishop Lily Aias…"
Endless regret swept over Neptune.
If he hadn't thought so much and had submitted to Dawn earlier, today's events might not have happened…
In the end, the Merfolk race was too clever for its own good.
For the entire Hundred Clan Alliance, except for some who harbored ulterior motives, this battle was quite joyful.
If Lugia's appearance and the defeat of the King of Jealousy's projection by Lily Aias and the others only gave them a glimmer of hope,
then the subsequent arrival of the God of Life, Feng Wang, and Ian's attack across worlds on the King of Pride, scaring him away with a wave of his hand, completely boosted the morale of the Hundred Clan Alliance.
They had seen too much light of hope.
And now…
For the Dwarf King and the others in the Hundred Clan Alliance, the only thing to do was to speed up their steps and meet with Dawn as soon as possible.
However, for the Merfolk race, this battle was not something to be happy about.
Having lost the favor of the Lunar Halo and their two most powerful guardians, the Merfolk race would inevitably decline sharply.
The only thing they gained…
was a sinner who would be recorded in history, almost harming the entire Hundred Clan Alliance, the patricidal traitor Ohm.
While the Dawn warriors were rejoicing and praising Ian, Feng Wang and Lugia, and Lily Aias and the others,
the Merfolk race could only sink into deep sorrow.
…
The Domain of Jealousy.
The King of Pride grabbed two corpses that were being transformed, his face still bearing traces of burns.
He glared resentfully at the place where the Seven-Colored Abyss had disappeared, took a deep breath, and adjusted his mentality.
He had made a fool of himself again…
And in front of the Roderick Continent. Fortunately, this time someone could take the brunt of the master's most intense anger for him.
Looking back, the sea in the Domain of Jealousy was deathly still, without even a ripple or the breath of a Leviathan.
The Palace of Jealousy, symbolizing the King of Jealousy's authority, and that towering statue, were already in ruins. The statue's huge head drooped into the sea, gradually disappearing.
The King of Pride's lips curled into an obvious and mocking arc.
This time, that old guy who liked to play mysterious had lost a lot of face.
He should be the one worrying about the master's anger.
Lugia's final attack had not injured him. Even if the King of Jealousy's strength was not as good as the King of Pride's, he was still a High God.
At most, that attack would only make him look disheveled.
But…
his palace was gone, destroyed by Lugia's cross-border attack.
The Red Moon still hung above the scarlet sky, and this scene was fully visible to the master.
Although he, the King of Pride, had also been attacked, this was not the Domain of Pride, and he had almost no World Source to mobilize.
Being attacked across borders was because the King of Jealousy had failed to stabilize the Domain of Jealousy. The King of Jealousy had to take the blame for this.
Moreover, he was facing the mysterious Pope of Dawn and those two extraordinary God-Sovereigns.
The arrival of three God-Sovereigns on the Roderick Continent was already a non-combat offense.
No matter what, the master would not blame him.
But what about the King of Jealousy?
The plan to pollute the Lunar Halo had failed, all three Jealousy Sin Servants had been wiped out, and the Leviathan army had been damaged.
His projection had been defeated by the three newly divine ants, Lily Aias, and his base camp, where his true body was stationed, had been counter-invaded by relying on the power of the Abyss due to arrogant negligence.
The palace symbolizing the Demon King's authority had been destroyed by others.
The Demon race's face has been utterly disgraced by the King of Envy.
Adding all of this together, the King of Pride could already feel the fury directed at the King of Envy from within the crimson moon.
"That old fool is in for a world of trouble."
The King of Pride laughed heartily, and upholding the camaraderie of colleagues, he flew towards the King of Envy, who sat amidst the ruins.
He had to properly thank this good colleague who sacrificed himself to benefit him.
Amidst the ruins, the King of Envy sat lifelessly upon his broken throne, his eyes vacant, as if he hadn't yet come to his senses.
The King of Pride stepped over the rubble and stood not far from him, carrying two corpses, a picture of victory.
"Dear Envy, thank you so much…"
The malicious gratitude in his voice roused the King of Envy, who looked up at the King of Pride, his voice hoarse.
"Divinity fragments…"
The King of Pride shook his head repeatedly, saying with a flippant air:
"No, no, no, dear Envy, that doesn't align with the terms of our agreement. These two Saint-level corpses, I obtained them myself, they have nothing to do with you…"
"You're spouting nonsense!"
The King of Envy instantly flew into a rage, transforming into a heaven-devouring giant serpent.
"If not for the Primordial Abyss I mobilized, how could you have obtained two Saint-level corpses!"
"That is what you should do, isn't it?"
The King of Pride laughed brilliantly, his face, scorched by Holy Fire, becoming even more grotesque.
"The mobilization of the Primordial Abyss wasn't for two insignificant Saint-levels, but for the Radiant Moon Holy Ring. That was your transaction with the Primordial Abyss, and I merely did what needed to be done."
The more he spoke, the happier the King of Pride became.
He understood that the Domain of Envy had now replaced the Domain of Pride, becoming one of the most dangerous Sin Domains.
The power to mobilize the Primordial Abyss was a privilege the King of Envy obtained based on corrupting the Radiant Moon Holy Ring. In essence, the Primordial Abyss appeared to devour the origin of the world after the Radiant Moon Holy Ring was corrupted.
But the King of Envy failed to act according to the plan…
So, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take over and make some use of the waste, right?
"Origines!!!"
The King of Envy roared madly, and the Domain of Envy, which had been silent just moments before, instantly churned with towering waves.
"I am here, dear Envy."
The King of Pride wasn't afraid in the slightest, his aura as a peak Upper God sweeping out, his smile becoming even more radiant.
"The first virtue of the Demon race is never keeping promises."
Seeing that the King of Envy was about to draw upon the world's origin to fight him, the King of Pride didn't panic at all, calmly saying:
"Dear Envy, I think your immediate priority shouldn't be fighting me to vent your anger."
He raised his hand and pointed to the blood moon in the sky. In just this short moment, the blood moon had become even more scarlet, almost dripping with blood.
"You, who have utterly disgraced the Demon race and even revealed the Master's name to those ants, should think of a way to respond to the Master's anger."
"Furthermore… dear Envy, the wheel turns."
"Now it's your turn to consider how to deal with the hunger of the Primordial Abyss."
The more the King of Pride spoke, the happier he became, finding the King of Envy more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at him.
Some of the lowly humans' words were quite reasonable.
When facing a vicious beast, you don't need to run faster than it, you just need to run faster than your companions.
Now, at least the Domain of Pride wasn't the most dangerous anymore.
The King of Envy's serpentine face twisted, sometimes revealing the appearance of an old man, and sometimes a hideous snake head.
But feeling the increasingly obvious anger of the blood moon, he still dared not act.
Just as the King of Pride had said, the current Domain of Envy had reached its most dangerous state. The Primordial Abyss wouldn't consider the completeness of the Seven Sins Authority like the Master did…
The Primordial Abyss only knew that this time, its cooperation with the Domain of Envy to attack the Rhode Lord Continent had suffered a great setback.
It was very hungry, so it needed to eat…
But even as he frantically thought about how to deal with the trouble ahead, the King of Pride still remembered the principle of kicking someone when they're down.
"Oh, right, dear Envy, the reorganization of your Envy Sin Servants should be very difficult, right?"
The King of Pride looked at the King of Envy with a grin.
"Considering our time as colleagues, I can give you the corpses of a hundred lower-level Mindflayers to help you reorganize your Envy Sin Servants."
This series of taunts finally made the King of Envy unable to hold back.
"Origines!!!"
Roaring hoarsely, the King of Envy's snake body shot out, about to kill the King of Pride.
But the King of Pride just looked at the approaching giant serpent with a smile.
In the next moment, the blood moon dropped滔天 blood light, freezing the King of Envy in place.
A scarlet and deep gate opened, and the voice of the King of Sloth came from within.
"Dear Envy… the Master has given you seven days to cut off the Domain of Envy and resolve the hunger of the Primordial Abyss."
The King of Envy instantly changed back into human form, but his old face was already bloodless.
Trembling, he bowed to the ground, and after a long time, said in a dejected tone:
"Yes…"
Seeing this, the King of Pride didn't plan to stay any longer. The current Domain of Envy was the target of everyone's criticism, and he didn't want to bear the Master's additional anger.
But just as he was about to leave, the voice of the King of Sloth came from behind the door again.
"Dear Envy, Origines, in seven days, recall all the subordinate gods under your command."
"Seven days later, meet the Master in the Land of Depravity."
The King of Pride's heart trembled.
This was to gather the power of the entire Demon race to attack the Rhode Lord Continent, or strictly speaking, to attack the Church of the Dawn.
Not daring to delay, the King of Pride immediately nodded in agreement.
The door slowly closed, the King of Pride looked at the dejected King of Envy, and his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
After a long time, only the King of Envy's roar, filled with hatred, echoed throughout the Domain of Envy.
"Church of the Dawn!"
"Origines!"
"You just wait and see!!!"
