"I said, no one gets away!"
After killing Kenuofei with a single thrust, Ninisha abruptly turned the spear in her hand. Its shadow transformed into a Purple Azure Dragon and shot toward a nearby patch of space.
"Roar!"
As the Azure Dragon let out an enraged roar, Felix fell out of hiding, his face stricken with terror. The concealment ability that the Laws of Darkness were famed for was utterly useless.
"Damn it!"
Now that he had been discovered, Felix naturally refused to sit back and await his death. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly split apart, transforming into over a thousand phantoms that flew in every direction.
Laws of Darkness, Profound Mystery—Shadow Clone Technique!
"What a pointless trick!"
Ninisha merely shook her head slightly and raised her spear high. A flash of purple lightning burst from its tip, and in an instant, a vast thundercloud materialized out of thin air. Then, translucent raindrops of lightning poured down, covering every one of Felix's clones.
"Zzt, zzt..."
A moment later, the thousands of figures were exposed by the lightning rain. Only one remained: a disheveled, black-haired man with blood at the corner of his mouth.
"She broke through it in one move?"
Felix stared at Ninisha in terror, his body trembling uncontrollably.
There were currently no Paragons of Darkness in the world. A Dark Asura like Felix was already all but peerless when it came to concealment.
Yet a Paragon's greatest trump card was the Willpower bestowed by the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Faced with this power granted by the world itself, an Asura's every trump card was nothing but an illusion.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
With a slight movement of Ninisha's right hand, dozens of transparent spear shadows shot out. Felix's body was pierced by dozens of holes in an instant, then fell from the sky.
Felix, Asura of the Laws of Darkness—dead!
In a mere moment, two Asura powerhouses who could have ruled over a region of Hell had fallen. The sight stunned everyone present.
"W-was I seeing things? The one who just got killed was an Asura elder of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, wasn't he?"
A golden-haired young man rubbed his eyes, as if trying to see through the sky.
"A Paragon! That lord must be the legendary invincible Paragon High-God!"
A black-haired young woman gazed at Ninisha in adoration and murmured softly.
Of all the onlookers, Yage Huerlei was the most shocked.
"She's a Paragon High-God of the Lightning Element! The Four Divine Beasts Clan has really run into a brick wall this time."
Inside the purple Metal Lifeform, Yage rose to his feet, fists clenched as he watched excitedly with his divine sense.
He had never witnessed a battle between Paragon High-Gods, even though he was a Sovereign's child. Unlike Hankin Augusta, the son of the Chief Sovereign of Light, he couldn't speak with Clementine, the Chief Sovereign of Light's envoy. Moreover, Hankin had a close friend, Magnus, who was a Fate Paragon, though no one knew Magnus was a Paragon yet.
"She's a Lightning Paragon, and my father is the Thunder Sovereign. Could I recruit her as an envoy?"
Yage took a deep breath to calm himself, then began to consider the possibility.
Meanwhile, the battle on the other side showed no sign of stopping for the onlookers' thoughts. After killing Felix, Ninisha didn't pause for even a moment. She wheeled around and streaked toward the three remaining Sovereign Envoys.
"Not good! We have to attack together, or we'll all die!"
Hansen, the red-haired burly man, shouted. His body suddenly grew several times larger, his height exceeding ten meters in the blink of an eye. A crimson light shone from his chest, as if a special crystal core were radiating energy.
"We have no choice but to fight!"
Caroline, the silver-haired elven girl, gritted her teeth as well. The crescent moon between her brows began to glow emerald green. As a dense aura of life welled up, twelve crescent moons appeared behind her.
"What fools! We should be buying time."
Seeing the two of them move, Patridge, dressed in a white robe, cursed inwardly. He didn't join their attack. Instead, he retreated while sending a mental message to the purple figure rushing toward them.
"Lord Ninisha, please spare my life. The Four Divine Beasts Clan forced me into this. If you're willing, I can swear in the name of the Overgod to serve you forever."
Patridge gritted his teeth as he spoke his words of surrender.
Yet Ninisha seemed not to hear him. Instead, she charged straight at him first. Her speed was so great that Patridge trembled from head to toe.
"No!"
An armor radiating Sovereign's aura instantly appeared on Patridge's body. At the same time, white divine power surged forth, forming a spiral of sword shadows to try to hold her back.
But it was all in vain...
"Bang!"
With a resounding crash, Ninisha's spear thrust hard into Patridge's armor. Lightning-element divine power surged, and a translucent ripple flowed into his soul.
"Bzzz..."
Patridge's body paused for a moment, then his eyes dimmed. His soul was extinguished, leaving behind only a god's corpse.
Patridge, Asura of the Rules of Fate—dead!
"You bastard, stop right there!"
After three Asuras had died in succession, Tiya, the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader, finally arrived. Red flames merged with her fists as she struck at Ninisha.
"Bzzz..."
Morei, the Black Tortoise Clan Leader, grew several times taller. Earth-yellow divine power surged from his body, accompanied by the Earth Chief God's Might, as he charged at Ninisha like an avalanche.
"Pathetic attacks!"
Ninisha glanced at the two of them. Sovereign's Might erupted from within her, and the spear in her hand trembled, humming again and again.
In the next instant, the spear shadow appeared and space shattered!
"Bzzz..."
A gigantic spear shadow, over a thousand meters long, took shape in the blink of an eye. With unstoppable force, it descended from the sky, engulfing everyone from the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
"You..."
Tiya, the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader, managed to utter only one word before the tremendous pressure sent her flying.
"Ugh!"
Thanks to his astonishing defenses, Morei, the Black Tortoise Clan Leader, wasn't flung away. But he was instantly pinned down, unable to move, and ten ghastly bloody wounds appeared on his body.
Ninisha knew that she couldn't kill Sovereign's children, so she'd held back when attacking Tiya, the Vermilion Bird Sovereign, and Morei, the Black Tortoise Clan Leader. The others weren't so lucky.
Hansen and Caroline, at the very front, didn't even have time to scream before disappearing beneath the purple light.
Thus, all five honorary elders of the Four Divine Beasts Clan—all five Asura powerhouses—had fallen!
The purple spear shadow passed through the two clan leaders but didn't stop. Like a sun going dark, it erupted in an instant, and its terrifying divine power swallowed up the remaining elders of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
"Boom!!!"
After the tremendous roar shook the heavens, the Seven-Star Fiend elders of the Four Divine Beasts Clan proved as fragile as paper. In a moment, nearly all of them had been reduced to dust.
"Stop!" "Enough!"
At the last moment, three figures soared upward amid two furious shouts. Gaislesen, Gaia, and Gus, who had been knocked into the sea, had finally returned.
"Bzzz..."
Two enormous Azure Dragon Shadows appeared out of thin air, and a strange energy descended from the world itself. The attack, which had been about to land, slowed slightly.
Innate Divine Ability—Dragon Roar!
With Dragon Roar bolstering her, Gaia flashed in front of a golden-haired man. The material-defense Sovereign Artifact covering her body let out a series of rumbles.
"Grand Elder... Mother!"
Fuerhan, who had narrowly escaped death, looked at Gaia and couldn't help speaking. With his life on the line, he no longer cared about the rules and called her Mother outright.
On the other side, Gaislesen and Gus stood together against the final attack, shielding a bald young man behind them.
"Clan Leaders!"
Seeing Gaislesen and Gus covered in blood, Emmanuel, who was hiding behind Gaislesen, stared at Ninisha in terror, his eyes wide.
Emmanuel had never imagined that he'd send a clone to ask the clan leader to avenge him, only to witness his clansmen's deaths. Worse, he was probably going to die too. This time, he had no Divine Clone elsewhere.
