Chapter 1536: Last Angel (part 1) (1/2)

Fycro was at a loss for words. A level 17 godly item was indeed not something his body would have been able to take. But then again, it was not necessarily a requirement to fuse the powers with his Source if he were to absorb it. The way the Winged Skull put it made it clear that they were not giving Fycro a chance to rebel.

If that godly item were to fuse with his Source, that would have been the highest level he would have been able to achieve in his life—level 17.

That meant that there was no way Fycro could ever reach the pinnacle, with the highest being only at 17.

Saleen was at level 17 currently. So long as he managed to stabilize his level, he would be able to suppress Fycro securely using the power of lightning.

“Alright, I’m up.” Fycro clenched that godly item hard. He was thinking deep down that it still would have been better than getting eaten by that demon. Furthermore, there was no telling that he would not be able to advance further if he were to fuse that godly item with his power of the Source. So long as he was able to accumulate enough power, it still would be possible for him to break through the godly item’s bonds.

“You do know where you should stand.” The Winged Skull appraised him with one simple line. They pointed at Nailisi, telling him to follow her.

Nailisi waved at Fycro and said, “Abyrus is still considering. If it weren’t for that angel, I think you wouldn’t be standing here today. If the angel refuses, think of a way to deal with it first. If it was willing to surrender, the angel will be yours to command from here on out.”

Fycro let a bitter smirk stretch across his face. That demon really was with the Winged Skull, as they were both just as brutal with their way with things. He and Abyrus had to surrender eventually, and they even had to be at odds with each other to do so.

Abyrus moaned and lowered its prideful head.

“Alright, now that you both are willing to surrender, I won’t be doing anything untoward to you. Serve Dante well, and you’ll get your chance at being something bigger.” Nailisi persuaded them perfunctorily, before beginning to summon her army of demons from the Purgatory of Demons.

The army was divided into battalions consisting of 1,000 units. One battalion after another appeared on the divine mountain. Nailisi lacked underlings like the jade skeletons of the Winged Skull. Her most loyal servant was only Cuisi, but Cuisi was in charge of things in New Demon City, and there was no way the demon would follow her troops into battle anymore.

Each battalion of Nailisi’s demons was led by supreme demons, and they all were put under devil commanders that Nailisi had subjugated.

There were huge numbers of supreme demons and devils in the Purgatory of Demons. As Nailisi’s level climbed, all of the devils were being subjugated one after another. If it had not been for the fighting at Saleen’s side being so intense, Nailisi would have returned long ago to reign supreme in the demon plane.

The demons were all prepared and ready at the divine mountain. Nailisi and the Winged Skull began distributing weapons and equipment. Most of the equipment was complete, with the only thing lacking being powerful weapons for the commanders in the battalions meant for taking on angels.

Saleen returned outside the divine kingdom’s gates. Baldur’s Gate had put the divine kingdom in lockdown. He entered Baldur’s Gate and began to amass armies to invade the divine kingdom.

There were large legions of angels near the gates, but Saleen had no need for soldiers. Without the threat from the Lord of Glory, he alone went to slaughter the angels with 500,000 lightning warriors by his side.

He became capable of casting magic spells above level 13 in massive areas. They possessed characteristics of forbidden curses, but lacked their power.

Saleen cast level 13 magic spells against the army of angels, and that worked far better than going at them head on. There were powerful angels intending to take to the sky and fight Saleen personally, but they were quickly repelled by his lightning territory. Countless electric snakes shot out under the workings of the Lightning Moon, killing the angels one by one.

In the eyes of the angels, Saleen was like an abomination from hell.

However, the humans and demons in Saleen’s camps cheered, very confident of securing victory. In their eyes, Saleen’s Thundering Phantasm constructs, which were over ten meters tall, looked far more majestic than gods. That was their banner of victory, as well as the hope of the armies.

A level 17 mage made an announcement to all the troops in the armies. All of the people knew that the power of their master had reached the pinnacle of the world, and none of them had any fear anymore.

Baldur’s Gate locked the exit of the divine kingdom down. The angels and god creatures had nowhere to run.

Saleen sealed the gates shut, intending to render the divine kingdom extinct. At the temple of the Goddess of Nature in the center of Purgatory Dessert, the goddess frowned as she looked at the sealed gates of the divine kingdom on the plane map.

There were 12 men and women who dressed differently behind her.

“My lady, that thing has locked the divine kingdom down. He’s trying to take it for his own!”

A stout man who had a huge behind and was baring a chest full of black hair said to the goddess in a very displeased manner.

All 12 of them had gotten rid of their bloodline of god creatures and were restored to their human bodies. That was the reason why the goddess had to go through so much trouble to resurrect those people.

The goddess chuckled and said, “It’s not that he wants to take the divine kingdom for his own. He was the one who invaded and won that place over after all. I’m the one who intends to take it for my own instead.”

“Hmph, he wouldn’t be where he is without you, my lady,” another female mage added coldly.

“That’s not how it works. Our intention has always been taking over a divine kingdom. Tell me though, what do you think about our chances?”

“100 percent, of course!” A red-haired young man added. He wielded a long whip, which was wiggling on the ground on its own.
