Chapter 169: 169. King of Envy: Where Did the Sea God on Rodney Continent Come From!
Compared to the Eye of Peeping and Twisted Tongue, who didn't even have God-level power, couldn't bear the Dawn's grace, and were instantly killed by Rock and Vasti.
Shadow of Devouring, after all, had some ability.
His God-level strength allowed him to withstand more whipping.
Although Liliais's nearly thousand levels made it incredibly difficult for her to break through even one level, she could currently only rely on the Master-level staff to forge her Godhead.
But the staff's enhancement was quite unreasonable, coupled with various strange Master-level spells, making every resistance from the Shadow of Devouring feel like a cornered beast's struggle.
His massive size also harmed him; he had now become an excellent group punching bag.
After all, he was a God-level. Although killing him alone would definitely yield higher merit, it would waste a lot of time. Moreover, as the Cardinal in charge of diplomacy, Liliais still had to consider the mindset of others who wanted to improve.
This piece of cake, taking a large portion was enough for her; the rest she distributed to others.
After all, Liliais was different from Rock and the others who yearned for progress and for Ian to bestow more favor upon them.
Liliais had her own path to progress.
She greatly envied Resia and wanted to become a Divine Consort like Resia.
Sharing a piece of cake would also help her Liliais's good reputation. The better her reputation, perhaps the more Ian would favor her.
Thus...
"Thank you, Bishop Liliais."
Roskold thanked her like this, stepping forward to tear off the tail of the Shadow of Devouring.
Now, combined with the achievement of destroying two Abysses and killing thousands of Leviathans, he should be qualified to receive a staff blessed by the Pope.
"Bishop Liliais is truly benevolent and just. I represent the Black Dragon Clan in thanking you."
Vasti grinned as he tore off the four eyeballs of the Shadow of Devouring that contained divine arts.
Now, after the Dragon Clan's surrender, his Black Dragon Clan could also suppress the others in the Dragon Clan by virtue of their excellent contribution award to the Dawn.
"Lord Bishop Liliais, thank you for your generosity."
Rock casually plucked off the other four eyeballs of the Shadow of Devouring that contained divine arts, then whispered:
"Your Majesty Queen, I will do my utmost to support you in ascending to the position of Divine Consort!"
Liliais expressed great satisfaction with Rock's sensible behavior.
Of course, the God-level cake was only so big. Excluding the Godhead and the head of the Shadow of Devouring, which Liliais would keep for herself, the remaining portion...
At best, it could only support a few Sages and Legends in sharing.
Therefore, this time, Liliais used her generosity to win the support of all the Sages and Legends in one fell swoop.
The position of Divine Consort is just around the corner!
Her Liliais will definitely become the greatest Queen in the history of the Elf Clan!
Catching a glimpse of Fishli not far away, Liliais's heart stirred.
"Fishli, you come and cut off the spine of the Shadow of Devouring!"
Liliais saw clearly that she, being alone, definitely couldn't compare to Resia, who had followed Ian since childhood.
She didn't want to compete with Resia, but at least, being second only to Resia was acceptable, right?
This way, bringing in her beloved disciple to form a master-disciple combination should be more effective. Anyway, she had already asked, and Fishli did have some thoughts in this regard.
"Me... me?"
Fishli was a little surprised.
"Exactly, come on!"
Liliais looked at Fishli gently, and the latter nodded heavily, quickly flying towards the Shadow of Devouring.
This scene caused many Hundred Clans leaders to sigh repeatedly.
In the end, it was still better to rely on a big tree for shade.
The Elf Clan was favored after all, and Liliais was a Cardinal. Fishli's progress was far beyond that of these minor clan leaders.
In this battle, Fishli also destroyed an Abyss and defeated Leviathans, comparable to some Sages and Legends.
"If all goes as expected, after returning, Commander Fishli will likely be not far from becoming a Sage."
The Tiger-man Race Leader looked envious.
The Lion-man Race Leader, who had just been arguing fiercely with him, patted his shoulder.
"Her identity is special, Commander of the Purifier部队, her master is Cardinal Liliais, plus the Elf Clan produces many strong individuals, their time of surrender is second only to the Angel Clan, and they are highly regarded by the Pope... We can't compare."
The Tiger-man Race Leader grinned.
"If we can't compare, then we won't! Anyway, there are many achievements this time. I'll exchange for some good things when I get back, and our Tiger-man Race can produce another Holy Knight. When I join the Silver Armor Pillar, my promotion will also be faster."
This time, it was probably the final wrap-up of the war.
Many people were chatting and laughing about their promotions after returning, but for the Shadow of Devouring...
This was a great humiliation.
Liliais dealing with him, he endured, after all, she was God-level.
Rock and Vasti, he also endured, they were also two God-levels.
Roskold and the others... he reluctantly endured, at least they were Saint-level.
But what was this Fishli?
An ant who hadn't even touched the Saint-level, was she also worthy of sharing merit from his corpse?
At least...
Let that Sea God come!
"Too much bullying!"
The Shadow of Devouring roared hoarsely and frantically, about to detonate his Godhead and perish together with them.
But the next moment...
"Arcane Interference."
As Carlifa's clear and cold voice sounded, the Shadow of Devouring lay prostrate on the ground in a sorry state, his massive body completely unable to move.
The Godhead that was about to stir was also enveloped by strange arcane light, unable to be controlled.
He was forbidden from casting spells...
Liliais looked at Carlifa with relief. This was good; Carlifa also gained God-level merit.
In this battle, the Elf Clan had a great harvest!
After Fishli cut off the spine of the Shadow of Devouring, Liliais finally made her move to end the humiliation of the Shadow of Devouring.
The moment the surging natural power extracted his Godhead and severed his head, the Shadow of Devouring felt a sincere sense of relief.
Thus.
All of the Envy Sin Servants under the King of Envy were annihilated, and the main force of the Leviathans in the Envy Domain was completely wiped out.
Lugia also made a move to defeat the super-large Abyss, and the rebellion suppression war completely came to an end.
Everyone got the rewards they were satisfied with. Although there were casualties, they were, after all, people of the Dawn Divine Church. After returning, Ian would resurrect them on a chosen day.
If it weren't for the significant losses of the Merfolk, Liliais and the others would probably have laughed out loud.
They had never fought such a rich battle in their lives.
It's just that...
The corpses of the Envy Sin Servants would be cast in bronze and displayed in the Square of Merit, just like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The Eye of Peeping and Twisted Tongue at least had complete corpses, but this Shadow of Devouring...
Liliais pursed her lips and said uncertainly:
"Not many parts are missing... It should be possible to piece it back together, right?"
The Merfolk Clan Leader, who had just stepped forward to express his gratitude again and propose returning to the Starting Ground with Liliais and the others to express their surrender, heard Liliais's murmur.
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
They had already dismantled the Shadow of Devouring into parts, and they still wanted to piece him back together for exhibition?
Then why didn't they think of leaving him a complete corpse earlier?
Are everyone in the Dawn Divine Church so eager to improve?
The Merfolk Clan Leader didn't understand, but he envied them from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps such achievements were the secret to their progress to God-level, who could say?
After a moment of thought, the Merfolk Clan Leader slowly spoke.
"Bishop Liliais, the rebellion has been quelled. What about next..."
"Buzz!!!"
Before he could make his request, from where the super-large Abyss had disappeared, space rippled as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake.
The overflowing humming caused most people to instantly roll their eyes and fall into the depths of the sea like rain, looking disheveled and spiritless.
The three God-level Liliais were fine, only their faces turned pale. Gritting their teeth and persevering, they could still resist the piercing sound waves of the spatial folds to some extent.
The Sages and Legends were already swaying, and even at the junction of Roskold's dense dragon scales, which were closer, large patches of hot dragon blood oozed out and merged into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a handful of people left standing near the battlefield.
This aura...
"Demon King! It's definitely a Demon King!"
Liliais clenched her staff, forcefully shielding the people who could still hold on.
"King of Envy?!"
Hearing this, Vasti almost fainted directly, his eyes turning black.
He had faced a Demon King before and had personally witnessed how the previous Dragon King, hailed as the strongest in history and closest to surpassing the limit, was swatted to death by a Demon King like a fly.
No one understood the despair brought by a Demon King better than him.
"It can't be wrong!"
Liliais looked solemnly at the distant void space. That place, which should have been unremarkable, now felt crowded.
Like an elevator packed with people, under circumstances where the number of people far exceeded the load, something terrifying was trying to squeeze out from inside...
"The last time, on the wilderness outside God's Advent City, when the King of Arrogance shattered the world barrier and forcibly descended, it felt the same. The same sorrowful and powerless wailing of the world, the same demonic energy that almost assimilated the world..."
Liliais recalled the despair she experienced that day, and her heart became increasingly uncertain.
Even though she and Rock had now become Law Gods, and even though Vasti had also become a Law God.
How could they resist the descending Demon King?
"Damn it... There's clearly no Demon King contract, and the lunar sacred ring hasn't been polluted to that extent..."
Liliais stared at that space with resentment. She knew clearly in her heart that even if she knew a Demon King was about to descend, she couldn't do anything to change it.
Rodney Continent had always relied on the holy objects to resist. Without the seven holy relics, the Demon Clan would have long since marched straight in.
Now that Ian wasn't here, they truly didn't have the courage to face a Demon King.
"Woo!"
Just as Liliais and the others' hearts were gradually sinking to the bottom, Lugia's comforting cry sounded.
Like a clear spring flowing into everyone's parched hearts, under this cry, everyone suddenly regained their fighting spirit.
"There's still Cardinal Lugia!"
Liliais suddenly looked up excitedly at Lugia, who had been suspended above the lunar sacred ring, completely still.
At this moment, flapping her wings, she had already blocked in front of everyone.
That figure, which was slender compared to even the lowest-level Leviathan, gave Liliais and the others an unprecedented sense of security at this moment.
The only one who could make the Demon King wary, Ian, was not here, but they still had Ian's subordinate God!
Lugia was still here!
"Bishop Liliais, this aura is not as powerful as the last time."
Rock, who had regained his fighting spirit, quickly reminded her. Liliais focused her perception and found that it was indeed as Rock said.
"The lunar sacred ring has not been completely corrupted by demonic energy. The Demon King cannot come in person."
A gentle female voice came from the front. Lugia turned her head, her gaze as calming as the all-encompassing sea.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a projection. I'm here."
Hearing this, Liliais and the others were immediately full of fighting spirit.
"Yes!"
If it was just a projection...
No matter how strong the King of Envy was, he would not be a match for Lugia, who had descended here in her true form.
The sea was her home ground!
With Lugia here, they might not be unable to achieve the epic feat of following Lugia and defeating the Demon King's projection!
Moreover, the world's will's rejection had already arrived!
"Buzz!!!"
A more intense energy torrent soared into the sky from above the lunar sacred ring.
The seven holy relics located in various places on Rodney Continent once again shone brightly under the shocked gaze of countless people, crossing space to converge into one.
Even the Ancient Tree of Life outside the Starting Ground pulled out an eighth pillar of light to join in this time.
...
"Again... The Demon King has descended again?!"
Far away in the southern mountains, the Dwarf King held a black greatsword and gazed at the towering light of the firestone in the holy land.
"Dawn Divine Church..."
The Dwarf King took a deep breath and turned back towards the depths of the royal palace.
He couldn't wait. He had to go to this Dawn Divine Church himself!
Now!
...
The rainbow streams converged above the lunar sacred ring, transforming into a Mobius rainbow ring, which then circled around the space that was about to burst and shrank inwards.
But the lunar sacred ring was in a state of pollution after all. Even though the Ancient Tree of Life had a new clone that invested a massive amount of life法则, the法则 belonging to the sea was still incomplete.
Finally, that space could not bear the burden. After a sound like tearing cloth, it split into two.
In the dark spatial turbulence, a illusory figure with monstrous demonic energy gradually solidified.
Unlike the King of Arrogance, who spanned the heavens and earth with just one hand, this figure was very small, not even as tall as Rock.
But it was such an unremarkable projection that instantly disintegrated the defenses built by the three Law Gods.
Indeed, if it weren't for Lugia blocking in front, they would have instantly turned to dust.
"King of Envy!"
Liliais clenched her staff, suppressing the fear in her heart.
The projection was illusory, its face unclear, and it even flickered in and out of existence due to the world's will's wrath and the obstruction of the seven holy relics.
But those pair of narrow, sharp eyes like poisonous snakes were clearly visible.
The anger within them boiled like a boundless sea of fire, carrying the divine might that could tear apart truth.
Sweeping over the three of Liliais, even with Lugia's protection, the three still spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces as pale as gold leaf.
"Three God-levels?!"
There was a hint of surprise in the King of Envy's tone, but after a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"Unstable God-levels... Did you kill my Envy Sin Servants? Are you the ants of the Dawn Divine Church?"
With a harsh tone of contempt and anger, the King of Envy slowly raised his hand.
But the ocean currents wrapped around the法则 and pressed down the King of Envy's restless aura.
The King of Envy's expression changed, and he moved a step back. The area he was just in had been stirred up by the ocean currents, and even the super-large Abyss that had reappeared because of him instantly collapsed.
This was power beyond God-level!
The King of Envy's illusory face instantly became twisted and sinister.
Damn King of Arrogance!
He had indeed hidden something from him!
The King of Envy looked up at the one who had attacked him.
Lugia wore a crown formed by the lunar sacred ring. As her wings flapped, the法则 symbolizing the sea were fully displayed.
At this moment, the sea stood behind Lugia.
It wasn't in a posture of strong support, but rather the sea was pleading for Lugia's protection.
The King of Envy's eyes flickered uncertainly. After a long time, a hint of solemnity appeared in his hoarse voice.
"The God-Authority User of the sea... Sea God?!"
The information was completely wrong!
How the hell did a Sea God with real power come to Rodney Continent, which couldn't even give birth to a God-level?!
