Chapter Summaries

After months of training in the Virtual Illusionary Realm, Li Yu led the Dragon Slayer team into the real Nest of Calamity to confront the Ancient Red Dragon. The team broke through the entrance and began its assault, defeating the first wave of Lava Lizards before engaging the lair’s first boss.

• The Dragon Slayer team defeated the Ancient Red Dragon in the Virtual Illusionary Realm after three months of repeated battles.
• Li Yu announced that the team would set out in three days, then led more than forty members through a teleportation array as the southern nations wished them victory.
• At the Nest of Calamity, the rune master broke the ancient seal, and the team entered under Sauron’s command.
• The team wiped out a pack of Lava Lizards with ease, finding the real creatures weaker than their virtual counterparts.
• Tullius, the Lava Lizard leader and first boss, appeared, and Sauron ordered the Protection Paladins, Mages, and melee knights to attack.

Sauron’s group cleared the Nest of Calamity’s outer zones and entered the Ancient Red Dragon’s Sleeping Hall. When the dragon’s Calamity Dragon Might failed to frighten them, Li Yu taunted it and advanced to legend in front of it.

• Sauron led the group in defeating Cave Guardian TuLaiS and surviving its death explosion.
• The group charged through the Half-Dragon Person zone and quickly killed the Full of Vitality Half-Dragon Maidservant before she could revive the other enemies.

• Li Yu mocked the Ancient Red Dragon, which rose from the lava and threatened to tear him apart.
• Li Yu unleashed holy light and advanced to legend before the Ancient Red Dragon.

Li Yu interrupted the Ancient Red Dragon’s Dragon Breath of Destruction with two blows from his Hammer of Holy Light, leaving it helpless against the legendary experts. Sauron realized that all his preparations had been unnecessary as the group joined the fight against the battered dragon.

• The Ancient Red Dragon prepared to unleash its Dragon Breath of Destruction, and Sauron ordered the Protection Paladins to block it with invincibility.
• Li Yu formed a giant Hammer of Holy Light and smashed the dragon’s throat, forcing its breath back down and knocking it into the air.

• Li Yu urged the legendary experts to attack, and they surrounded the stunned Ancient Red Dragon.
• Sauron recognized that Li Yu could have defeated the dragon alone and lamented that his preparations had been pointless.

Li Yu defeated the Ancient Red Dragon and used the victory to deepen the legendary powerhouses’ awe and strengthen the foundation for his apotheosis. The group claimed the dragon’s treasure and remains, while Sauron accumulated enough experience to approach the level cap.

• Li Yu explained that his strength had accidentally increased after a breakthrough, and the legendary powerhouses regarded him with greater awe.
• Li Yu declared victory and led the group to claim the Ancient Red Dragon’s spoils.
• The group discovered a vault filled with gold, gemstones, and more than a hundred pieces of legendary equipment.
• Sauron realized he had gained nearly two million experience points but still needed to train his skills before reaching legendary rank.
• Li Yu entrusted the gold and gemstones to Golia for the future Holy Light Church and had the Ancient Red Dragon butchered for its valuable parts.

After Victor’s victory over the Ancient Red Dragon established the Holy Light’s influence, Li Yu delayed his plans to become a god while he waited for the existing gods to fall. He sent a fabricated version of himself, made from the dragon’s soul, into the Abyss, where it emerged as the demon Alduin Neltharion.

• Victor and the Dragon Slayers’ victory over the Ancient Red Dragon spread across the southern nations, strengthening the Holy Light’s influence.
• Li Yu decided to postpone ascending to godhood until he could study a god and understand how faith affected the mind.
• Li Yu chose to explore the Abyss as part of his plan to unite the powers of order and light with chaos and darkness.
• Li Yu erased the Ancient Red Dragon’s memories, imprinted his own memories and True Spirit Imprint onto its soul, and sent it into the Abyss.
• The dragon soul became an abyssal worm, burst from its blood cocoon, and declared itself Alduin Neltharion.

Alduin slaughtered Abyssal Worms and imps along the River Styx, growing into a giant dragon and forcing the surviving imps to submit. He led them to attack Lord Winged’s territory, discovering it housed a group of Wing Demons before launching a close-range assault into one of their caves.

• Alduin dodged an imp’s Flame Arrow, killed it, and devoured its heart, growing stronger and larger.
• Alduin slaughtered imps and Abyssal Worms until his roar frightened the survivors into submitting to him.
• Alduin questioned the imps and learned that Lord Winged’s territory lay beyond a mountain.
• Alduin found hundreds of caves and realized that Lord Winged referred to a group of Wing Demons, not a single one.
• Alduin charged into a cave and killed a Wing Demon, beginning his attack on the territory.

After a month of slaughter, Alduin became a powerful dragon and chose the Azeroth Sorcerer class, gaining the Abyssal Lord qualification. He prepared to continue his campaign after transforming into human form and forging new equipment.

• Alduin gained the names Deathwing and Dark Dragon after killing countless enemies and devouring their hearts.
• Alduin activated his True Spirit Imprint, became an Azeroth Sorcerer, and resonated with the Abyss Law, earning Reserve Abyss Lord status.
• A Balrog, a succubus, and a Terror Demon noticed Alduin's qualification, and the Terror Demon ordered his discovery.
• Alduin learned that candidates for Abyssal Lord qualification would be forced to fight one another, then changed from dragon form into human form.
• Alduin ordered his demons to prepare the fortress and continue the attack the next day, then sent a Berserker Demon’s hammer to the System Resource Library to forge the Axe of Extinction.
• Alduin made black robes from Ancient Red Dragon hide and set out to resume his campaign with his new equipment.

Alduin expanded his army and experimented with turning demons into believers by combining a Demon Enslavement formation with Reverence Marks. The process killed thousands of imps, but a few survivors became powerful giant imps who worshipped him, prompting Alduin to continue his research.

• Alduin added warrior skills to his warlock template, creating an enhanced Demon Hunter, then stopped his demon army from fighting among itself.
• Alduin considered testing whether demons could develop faith and used a modified Demon Enslavement formation on more than a thousand imps.
• The first batch of imps exploded when Reverence Marks were implanted, and Alduin killed further imps who refused or tried to flee.
• Alduin discovered that imps' souls were too weak to withstand the marks unless their Soul Power was merged, and fewer than ten imps survived the next attempt.
• The surviving imps became Alduin's believers and transformed into powerful giant imps, so Alduin decided to continue the experiment.

Alduin transformed his demon army into a smaller force of devoted believers and led them to conquer Molten Castle. He challenged Dimasen the Balrog, who attacked him with a flaming sword and a torrent of lava.

• Alduin transformed his demons through the Enslavement Array, leaving fewer than two thousand powerful demons who worshipped him as fanatics.
• Alduin erased the array, ordered his believers to attack Molten Castle, and followed them toward the territory of the Balrog Dimasen.
• Alduin flew to Molten Castle and demanded that Dimasen submit or die.
• Dimasen dismissed Alduin as an insect and swung his flaming sword, unleashing a flood of lava at him.

Alduin lured Dimasen away from Molten Castle and defeated him with the help of demon fanatics who ignored his level-suppressing aura and blew themselves up. Alduin converted Dimasen into a believer and ordered him to lead the way to Molten Castle.

• Alduin fled from Dimasen, drawing him to a cliff where nearly two thousand of his demons waited.
• Dimasen attacked the demons with his Deterrence Spiritual Light, but Alduin’s fanatics charged without fear and self-destructed around him.
• While Dimasen reeled from the explosions, Alduin struck him with Alduin's Dark Judgment and cut him in two.
• Alduin tortured Dimasen and used a slavery formation to brand a Mark of Devout Faith into his soul.
• Dimasen became Alduin’s believer, restored his body, and agreed to lead Alduin to Molten Castle.

At Molten Castle, Dimasen presented Alduin with his treasure vault, where Alduin found a crown with psychic power and sent it to the System Resource Library. Dimasen then led him to a group of imprisoned Elves, whom Alduin identified as Vampire Elves and ordered to submit or die.

• Dimasen gathered his demons to pay homage to Alduin, then showed him his disorganized treasure vault.
• Alduin collected the Soul Crystals and other treasures, and discovered a black crown with psychic power that he sent to the System Resource Library.
• Dimasen told Alduin about prisoners in the castle dungeon and led him to around twenty Elves.
• An elf maiden recognized Alduin's unusual nature, while another Elf declared that the Silvermoon Elves would never submit.
• Alduin identified the prisoners as Vampire Elves and threatened them with his black-flamed axe, demanding they submit or die.

Alduin converted the Vampire Elves into Blood Elves and raised them as Death Knights, then used a spell from his main body to transform the demons under Dimasen into beautiful women. The transformation also changed Dimasen’s sex and could not be reversed, leaving Alduin horrified and resigned.

• Dimasen knocked out the Vampire Elves, and Alduin converted them into Blood Elves through the Enslavement Array.
• Alduin granted the Blood Elves power from his main body and raised them as twenty Death Knights.
• Alduin ordered Dimasen to gather the demons so he could transform them for entering the Prime Material Plane.
• The Enslavement Array’s Ultimate Cosmetic Surgery turned the demons into naked women, while the Blood Elf Knights misunderstood Alduin’s intentions.
• Dimasen approached Alduin seductively after the spell transformed him into a woman, and Alduin learned the change was permanent.

Alduin struggled to equip and train the demons transformed into beautiful women, using the Resource Library to forge their gear and assigning them combat professions. He left the newly armed Beautiful Soldiers under Lucia and Dimasen’s command.

• Alduin ordered Lucia to teach the demon legion to wear clothes, then realized he needed to provide them with equipment.
• Alduin refined metals from the volcano’s lava and used the Resource Library to forge armor and weapons for the legion.
• Lucia and Dimasen armed the demons, but their unfamiliarity with their new bodies had weakened their combat ability.
• Alduin gave the demons Warlock, Demon Hunter, and Death Knight profession templates, adding Life Drain to the Demon Hunter template.
• Alduin named the force the Beautiful Soldiers and handed command to Lucia and Dimasen.

Alduin’s transformed Demon Army faced an invasion by Serpent Duke Lazorn’s overwhelming force, while the attackers were bewildered by the human-looking demon soldiers. Alduin joined the battle with powerful curses, leaving Lazorn convinced that Molten Castle was a god’s temple rather than Dimasen’s territory.

• A month after Alduin transformed Dimasen’s demons into more than ten thousand Beautiful Soldiers, they had mastered their new powers and were ready to campaign again.
• Serpent Duke Lazorn led more than a hundred thousand mid-tier demons to attack Molten Castle, catching its undisciplined sentries by surprise.
• Alduin ordered Dimasen and the Beautiful Soldiers to meet the invaders, and Dimasen led them into battle in Alduin’s name.
• Lazorn and his army were stunned to find women with demonic auras defending Dimasen’s castle, while Dimasen’s soldiers charged them fearlessly.
• Alduin rushed from the castle and struck Lazorn with a series of curses, making the Six-armed Snake Demon regret attacking what it believed was a god’s temple.

After absorbing Six-armed Snake Demon Kolos and her army, Alduin led his growing Beautiful Soldier Legion into the Duke of Flame Demons’ territory. The Duke sought help from the other demon rulers and withdrew to defend his stronghold, so Alduin ordered his forces to seize the remaining outer lands and surround Molten City.

• Alduin defeated Six-armed Snake Demon Kolos, added her and most of her army to his Beautiful Soldiers, and ordered his forces to prepare for an attack north.
• Alduin’s army swept through the Duke of Flame Demons’ territory, conquering castles and provoking rebellions as demons mocked the Duke’s losses.
• The Duke of Flame Demons learned that Alduin’s forces were advancing in the name of an unknown deity, sent warnings to the Serpent Duke and the Duke of Succubi, and ordered his troops to hold their positions.
• After Lucia reported the Duke’s retreat, Alduin noted that his army had grown beyond a million soldiers and ordered it to seize the Duke’s outer territory while leaving Molten City for last.

Flame Demon Duke Desmond prepared to face Alduin after the god’s army conquered the territories around Molten City and converted or killed its demons. Duke of Succubi Lilith and Serpent Duke Lazorn watched from afar, weighing whether to join the fight or flee as Alduin approached.

• Flame Demon Duke Desmond learned that Alduin had taken his southern and northern territories, then panicked when Lazorn and Lilith failed to answer his calls for aid.
• Alduin advanced on Molten City with millions of Beautiful Soldiers, many of them demons turned into fanatical followers.
• Desmond rallied his Flame Demon Legion and millions of other demons, while tens of thousands of Balrogs raised a lava moat and Wing Demons took to the air.
• Lilith and Lazorn watched from a distant cliff and decided to judge Desmond’s resistance before choosing whether to fight or flee the Molten Wasteland.
• Alduin strode toward Molten Castle in black flames, and Lilith and Lazorn were shaken by his divine power.

Alduin ignored Desmond’s warnings and used the Transcendent Divine Spell Feminization Aura to transform every demon in Molten City into a woman. Desmond surrendered, while Lilith and Lazorn watched in disbelief.

• Desmond warned Alduin that conquering the Molten Wasteland would cost millions of followers and expose him to the Fear Demon King, then offered to negotiate a truce.
• Alduin agreed that Desmond’s reasoning was sound but refused to withdraw, insisting that battle did not have to mean fighting with weapons.
• Alduin cast the Transcendent Divine Spell Feminization Aura, transforming every demon in Molten City without injuring them.
• Desmond surrendered after the feminized demons struggled to adapt to their new bodies.
• Lilith and Lazorn stared in shock and wondered whether Alduin was the God of Transfiguration or the Goddess of Feminization.

After taking Molten City, Alduin prepared to bring the remaining demon dukes under his control. Lilith and Lazorn chose to submit, but their exaggerated shapeshifted forms left Alduin stunned for the wrong reasons.

• Alduin occupied Molten City, made its demons into fanatic believers, and considered how to secure their loyalty with a new power system.
• Lilith and Lazorn discussed Alduin's rule and decided that submitting to him was preferable to fighting or fleeing.
• Lilith and Lazorn used Shapeshifting to create voluptuous human forms and hurried to Molten City to meet Alduin.
• Lucia brought Lilith and Lazorn before Alduin, who was stunned by their enormous breasts and privately disliked their disproportionate, obviously artificial appearance.

Alduin accepted Lilith and Lazorn’s surrender, then ordered them to bring their demons to Molten City. After the converted demons worshiped him, the Abyss crowned him Lord of the Molten Wasteland, and he proclaimed his identity and rule.

• Alduin reshaped Lilith and Lazorn, accepted their surrender, and sent them back to gather their subordinates for Molten City.
• A month later, Lilith and Lazorn brought more than ten million demons to Molten City, where they were transformed and became Alduin’s believers.
• The demons’ prayers caused the Molten Wasteland to resonate, and a dark five-pointed star descended onto Alduin’s forehead.
• Alduin accepted the Abyssal Godhead and became the Abyssal Lord of the Molten Wasteland.
• Alduin declared himself Deathwing Alduin Neltharion, ruler of the Molten Wasteland and controller of shadows and flames.

After the Fear Demon King threatened him through the Abyss Law, Alduin decided to join forces with Victor to kill him. Alduin obtained a teleportation coordinate to the Abyss of Fear and began devising a trap for the Demon King.

• The Fear Demon King struck Alduin's consciousness and demanded that he submit, prompting Alduin to resolve to kill him.
• Alduin recalled the Fear Demon King's past attack on Amber City and judged that defeating the powerful demon would require careful planning.
• Alduin asked Victor to join his ten million Beautiful Soldiers with Victor's forces for a campaign against the Fear Demon King.
• Victor agreed to lead the main battlefield while Alduin's special forces carried out surprise attacks and decapitation tactics.
• Alduin questioned Lilith about the Abyss of Fear, and Lilith gave him a planar teleportation coordinate she had obtained from a Plane Merchant.
• Alduin recognized that the coordinate offered a way to set a deadly trap for the Fear Demon King.
