817 Back Against Back (1/2)

The boundless cosmos in hell was profound and dark, with brilliant and dreamy stars in it. It looked like the starry sky of destiny, but there were some indescribable differences between them.

The cosmos slowly surfaced in every corner of hell, but it did not collide with the Death Swamp, the Silent Hell, the Burning Metropolis, or the Endless Canyon, and the devils were not affected at all. It looked like a supermassive hologram.

A heavy, thick, boundless vibe that dwarfed everything appeared with the cosmos, giving everybody the feeling that they were looking at the stars at night. Even the most evil and brutal devils felt that their minds were empty and the universe was too magnificent for them. Their busy lives were so hilarious, and the only thing worth respecting and embracing was the vast cosmos.

For a moment, the schemes, betrayals, slaughters, fire, and blood that filled the whole hell stagnated, replaced by quietness. The primeval hell that was made of the streaks of lights in different colors seemed to have been caught in a slowed time and space, in which pain, hate, and all the other negative feelings were much thinner.

The seven primeval devils stayed where they were and stared at Lucien in a daze. Their minds were too overwhelmed for them to launch an attack or to stop him from taking the unusual action.

Lucien, on the other hand, did not consider the attacks of the seven primeval devils at all because he was now in a marvelous state similar to that of Viken in the main material world. He could both affect this world and remain untouchable and unattackable because he was in a different time and space.

His eyes half closed, Lucien suddenly opened his arms, making the gesture that he was about to embrace the cosmos. At this moment, a shadow suddenly crawled out of the back of his pure soul.

The moment the shadow crawled out, Lucien's face had minor changes. It kept the original handsomeness but emitted a strange ordinariness. He became someone that the primeval devils wouldn't mistake for Lucien based on both the air and other features!

Lucien, however, did not find it strange at all, because it was still himself. It was him from his previous life, Xiafeng!

It was Xiafeng, whose face was entangled with Lucien's on the Furnace of Souls!

The shadow that crawled out of Lucien's back just now stuck its back against his back. Getting more and more clear, it turned out to be another Lucien with distinctive features and qualities that the primeval devils couldn't have failed to recognize. However, this Lucien did not have a gentle and stubborn vibe.

”What is this?”

”Why has Lucien been divided into two parts?”

The primeval devils stared at that in confusion, having no idea what was going on at all.

Suddenly, a void split in the gap, and an enormous and terrifying attraction force came over, dragging the whole primeval hell into the world that was both dark and bright.

”Viken is summoning the primeval hell and trying to melt us!” Arrogance roared in shock and fury. Changes and more dreadful things were happening on two sides at the same time. Which side should they focus their attention on?

The primeval hell and the primeval devils were two sides of the same coin in the first place. If the primeval hell was swallowed and melted, there would be no more primeval devils. Or rather, a stronger primeval devil would show up, but it would only be one side of Viken!

While the primeval hell moved toward the world which was both evil and sacred slowly but surely, Lucien showed absolutely no reaction and remained the same. The Lucien on his back opened his arms and made exactly the same gesture.

Pa!

The moment Lucien's two souls leaned against each other with their hands open, Lucien's body outside of the Gate of Desire collapsed and spread out into the world of the mind and the soul, crawling into both Luciens.

Wu!

In the soundless roar, the souls of the two Luciens were vaguely concrete, and their backs were connected to each other due to a certain special relationship.

Boom!

As a real explosion burst out, Lucien's soul that had the features of Xiafeng suddenly opened its eyes. The reflection of the vast universe that showed up everywhere in hell was immediately zoomed in. It was no longer a river of brilliant stars, and an enormous fireball, as well as many planets of different sizes, could be seen clearly. Among them, a blue planet was particularly beautiful!

Boom!

The soul that carried the features of Lucien opened its eyes at the same time. However, what his arms were embracing was the colorful cosmos of elements. Then, the stars from the Atomic Universe spread out and got more and more real. Also, the perspective rose higher and higher, revealing a planet that was shrouded in mist.

Then, the views of two different universes constricted quickly. They were clearly separated from each other, with the two Luciens at the center as the boundary!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

The scene was barely completed when the whole primeval hell collapsed and let out the noises, which suggested that it was on the brink of destruction, as if it could not shoulder the invisible pressure anymore.

Arrogance, Hypocrisy, and the other primeval devils looked at each other in bewilderment and realized the same thing.

”Lucien Evans is attempting to break into the demigod level!”

But his way was different from that of Thanos, Viken, or Douglas!

Was it because their cognitive worlds were different?

......

In the City in the Sky and Rentato, most sorcerers and civilians looked at the sky in desperation. Even the joint attack of three demigods and multiple top legends did not stop Viken's advancement. Who could possibly stop him now?

Under normal circumstances, some sorcerers and ordinary people would've told themselves that Viken's advancement was not the end of the world. Chances were that Viken would become benevolent after he turned into a true god. However, the madness of the corrupted and the blood and chaos they created were still fresh. Nobody expected that Viken, who was known as King of Calamities, would suddenly change his personality.

Seeing that Viken was gradually melting the primeval hell and Mountain Paradise, and seeing that the attacks of Douglas, the Silver Moon, and the Lord of Hell achieved no result except for breaking Viken's defense and blowing him out of the intangible marvelous statue, the sorcerers, nobles, and civilians got more and more desperate.
