Netherworld, Haide City.
Linley's Death God Avatar and Sanctuary True Body sat cross-legged face-to-face. In his mind, the scenes of the Death Element Seven-star Demon that had been transmitted through the synchronized memories of his Divine Avatar in Hell replayed again and again.
The soul attack of the middle-aged man with dark teal hair, that illusory black snake—he simulated them repeatedly in his mind. At the same time, both bodies unconsciously began to radiate black light representing the Death Rule.
Linley muttered to himself, "Death... soul... annihilation..."
His understanding of the Death Rule deepened once more. He steadily took another step forward, continuing to advance toward the High God realm.
Fourteen years passed in the blink of an eye.
In Red Stone City on Blood Peak Continent in Hell, a black-haired man arrived at daybreak. He wore a black, hooded robe that concealed his face and figure. From the front, he looked deep and dark. Wearing a Demon Medal, he entered the city quietly and headed straight for the City Lord's residence.
Upon receiving the news, Delsim sent someone to invite the man inside.
In the main hall.
When Reynalds saw the black-robed man, he sensed his aura with his soul and sighed in relief. "Balovt, you've finally arrived."
The black-robed man was none other than Balovt, the Blood Peak Overgod's emissary. He raised the hood with a hand as white as snow, revealing an exceptionally handsome young face. A bright crimson beauty mark rested beneath the corner of his left eye, while his pale violet eyes were as crystalline as glass. Although he was a man, his appearance was actually closer to androgynous, carrying an air of delicate femininity.
Balovt smiled. "I ran into some trouble on the way. Fortunately, I'm not too late, right?"
Reynalds nodded and smiled.
