Chapter 976: Lord of All Things Demonic (2/2)

He lifted his palm up and saw that his skin was smooth like jade and even had an eerie sheen on it. It looked even more beautiful than a woman's skin. The lines on his palm were clear and defined, but it seemed to morph as he gripped and relaxed his hand. It seemed oddly beautiful in a way.

”This... this...” Han Shuo mumbled with awe.

”Bryan.” Judas was smiling at him, causing Han Shuo to put up his guard. However, all he did was laugh. ”Hahahaha, congratulations!”

Now, Han Shuo was a little puzzled. The congregate avatar he had so desperately tried to sustain had split up. Now, all thirteen of those gigantic, ethereal figures rushed back into the hovering cauldron, which levitated back to Han Shou's chest and vanished. Slowly, Han Shuo stood up and gave Judas an odd look. ”Why haven't you left yet?”

Han Shuo had always found Judas to be a little odd. Even though he was a Hegemon who had betrayed the God of Light, he wielded the Crucifix, a divine artifact the God of Light had personally crafted, and could even wield the fate of 100 million believers to manifest the Holy Aurum Armor. It really called into question whether he was truly a godhunter.

As he looked at Judas, he found his sight to be a little unusual. His divine consciousness was entirely focused on Judas, but he wasn't able to get a grasp of Judas's true strength. He felt that Judas was plotting something with him involved and was hiding an even greater power.

”Huh? Why should I leave?” Judas chuckled.

Not knowing what his intentions were, Han Shuo smirked and caused the Seventeen Flying Swords to come whooshing out. The Cauldron of Myriad Demons also charged out to ram towards Judas.

Even though Han Shuo had only recovered half of his power, his Diablo Realm realm-state caused the flying swords and cauldron to strike out with even more force. Infusing his attacks with his Diablo Realm consciousness caused them to be even harder to grasp than before.

Han Shuo believed that there was no way Judas would be able to take on those attacks based on the power he had demonstrated. He would still get badly hurt even with Holy Aurum Armor.

However, things turned out differently from what he had expected. All of a sudden, Judas shone like a bright sun as a wave of holy energy came descending from the sky into his body. Though mediocre before, Judas's Holy Aurum armor now had a different glow. The Crucifix in his hand lurched upwards as the sacred light energy came washing down upon it.

Both the flying swords and cauldron were unable to break through the Crucifix's defenses. Shocked, Han Shuo retrieved his weapons and asked, ”Who in the world are you?”

”Nestor and the others are almost here. Hmph, you better watch out for Han Hao,” Judas said smilingly as he stopped.

Han Shuo was even more flabbergasted now. There were few in the entirety of Elysium who dared to address Nestor by name. Who in the world was Judas?

Before Han Shuo could react, the Goddess of Destiny and God of Death simultaneously appeared out of thin air. Nestor’s gaze was immediately affixed on Han Hao. ”I didn't think that even I would be tricked!”

The Goddess of Destiny's star-like eyes turned to Han Shuo, then Han Hao before they finally stopped on Judas. ”What in the world are you doing?”

Seeing the goddess, Judas didn't prostrate himself like Han Shuo had expected. Instead, he fearlessly laughed and said, ”I was just applying some pressure on him to help him grow faster. Haha, you also know that we don't have much time to spare. Look- there- Thanks to me, he has gotten stronger now!”
