Faced with Ian's almost substantive terrifying pressure, Morris not only did not flinch, but instead pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and raised a sickly sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Really? Then let me see how capable you, the God of Magic, are!"
Before he finished speaking, Morris's body erupted with disgusting and huge magic power, and a twisted and weird suture monster was forcibly summoned by him. This monster Fusion had many characteristics of the middle-level Demons. The upper body was three Demons torsos that were tragically glued together, and the lower body was a giant octopus covered with barbs and suckers!
At the same time, the dark magic power erupted like a volcano. Dante roared wildly, activating his proud "Body Magic". All the muscles in his body were wildly expanded, torn, and reorganized like an inflated balloon. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a five-meter-high muscle Demon Gods, exuding a suffocating aesthetic of violence!
On the other side, Zenon also launched an offensive with a cold face. Accompanied by the teeth-searing sound of bones rubbing together, countless bone spurs as sharp as knives burst out from his back like a blooming flower of death.
What's even more frightening is that even though these three people have mutated, they are still able to perfectly use their exclusive magical attributes when they were the hosts of Demons.
"Gravity Magic: The devil is coming!" Dante shouted, directly calling Beelzebub's ultimate gravity Authority. There was a loud bang, and the space around Ian seemed to be filled with tens of millions of tons of mercury. The gravity doubled exponentially, and the ground instantly collapsed and cracked.
"Space Magic: Absolute Magic Control!" Zenon followed closely, his hands suddenly clasped together. A translucent huge Cosmic Cube body was instantly formed, covering everyone. Everyone is enveloped in it. In this Cosmic Cube body realm, Zenon has absolute control over the magic power. As long as he has a thought, he can forcibly cut off the enemy's spell structure, which is called the mage's nemesis.
Immediately afterwards, the suture aberration summoned by Morris opened its three bloody mouths, frantically absorbing the surrounding Elemental Force. The first head spewed out a waterfall of purple poison that could corrode the soul, The second head sprayed out the Hell fire that burned everything, and the third head spit out the destructive storm that tore apart the space! The torrent of triple superimposed attributes swept straight towards Ian.
Faced with this devastating attack, Ian still stood calmly on the spot, not even the corners of his clothes were disheveled. He just raised his hand casually, and an invisible "Anti-Gravity Shield" opened instantly, perfectly isolating Dante's gravity field that could crush mountains. As for Zenon's proud "magic power dominates the Cosmic Cube body" is simply a trick for Ian. His level of micro-manage and control of magic power is even higher than the source of magic power in this plane, and Zenon's suppression has no effect on him at all.
Ian's cold eyes crossed the crowd and landed on Morris's distorted monster with teeth and claws. He opened his thin lips slightly and spit out a cold syllable:
"Shut up."
Words are magic! Word Soul Magic derived from Demons Zagred took effect instantly. The aberrant body seemed to be pinched by the invisible hand by its throat, and its three mouths were forced to close in an instant, but the three violent waves in its body had gathered to the extreme. The energy could not be vented. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" There were three loud noises in succession, and the monster's three heads exploded directly from the inside into a shower of blood. Unfortunately, as Creation with the characteristics of Demons, this level of damage is visibly writhing and regenerating.
"Don't be too arrogant, mage!" Dante keenly caught this "flaw" and rushed like a heavy main battle tank, right in front of Ian. In his understanding, no matter how high the magic attainment of a mage is, his physical body is extremely fragile. Once he is approached, His body is a dead end. And his Body Magic gives him unparalleled physical strength and self-healing power. Melee combat is definitely his absolute domain! Even if Ian has defensive magic, there is no way he can stop his vacuum-shattering Monster Strength!
However, this time, he was terribly wrong.
Just when Dante's giant fist that could shatter the city wall was about to fall, Ian's eyes turned cold, he clenched his fist with his right hand and punched it from the front without any fancy!
"Boom--!"
Two fists, one large and one small, collided in the air, erupting with a thunderous sonic boom. Dante's huge body flew upside down like a kite with its string broken, and smashed through the hard ground. His face was completely sunken, and a clear fist mark was deeply imprinted on his distorted facial features!
What makes Dante even more frightened is that there is an extremely strange unknown energy attached to his wound. This energy is devouring crazily and retarding his self-healing ability. The recovery power he is proud of has completely failed! Feeling the threat of death, Dante is horrified and is preparing to counterattack by burning magic power at all costs.
"Bound." Ian's cold voice was like Bleach's sentence. Countless Blink chains shot out from Void instantly, binding Dante like a sack, completely sealing his magic circuit and turning him into a useless person.
Zenon saw that the situation was not good, and countless sharp bone spurs shot at Ian like a violent storm, trying to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. But this was just a false shot. He secretly separated dozens of bone spurs, trying to cut off the invisible Qi machine that bound him to escape.
"Playing with time difference in front of me?" Ian sneered. A faint blue Time Bubble ejected from Ian's body and instantly enveloped Zenon at a speed beyond the senses. The time inside the bubble fell into absolute stillness, and Zenon maintained an escape posture, completely frozen like a flying insect in amber, unable to move!
Just when Ian was suppressing Dark Triad like the autumn wind sweeping down fallen leaves, Lucius behind him finally seized the fleeting opportunity and forcibly pulled out Anti-Magic Arrow nailed to his back. With a ferocious look on his face, he suddenly tore Void apart with his hands, directly opening the door to the seventh floor of Underworld!
"Come out, my legion!"
In an instant, the overwhelming army of Demons poured out of Abyss like a black tide! There were hundreds of thousands of Demons, each one exuding a terrifying aura, and they all had the same mutated form as Lucius and Dark Triad, a combination of angels and Demons!
Facing this ocean-like army of monsters, Ian didn't even bother to look at Lucius. His eyes were locked on Morris, who had always remained calm. Then, A mocking sneer appeared at the corner of Ian's mouth. He opened the Original Grimoire that he had just finished Fusion, and invisible fluctuations instantly ran through the entire Spirit Realm.
"As the new realm master, I ask for your assistance."
Following Ian's command, countless grotesque Shikigamis exuding ancient aura stepped out of Void and faced the hundreds of thousands of mutated Demonss without fear, and the two sides instantly strangled together.
Immediately afterwards, Ian's figure suddenly appeared in the middle of Lucius and Morris. Before the two could react, a pure black spherical field instantly swallowed them up, and their magical resonance was forcibly cut off in an instant.
"Space Magic: Anti-Magic Field!"
This is an improved version of the Zenon Absolute Magic Control Cosmic Cube body principle! Ian injected a high concentration of Anti-Magic energy into this closed Cosmic Cube body space, creating a "pseudo-absolute Anti-Magic Domain" in which no magic power can take effect!
In this area, even Lucius could not cast any spells. He roared unwillingly, mobilized the powerful physical power belonging to Lucifero in his body, and frantically bombarded the edges of Cosmic Cube's body with his fists. The loud banging noises continued. But without the blessing of magic power, brute force alone cannot shake the arcane barrier at all. Morris and his deformed pet on the side are even worse. Without the support of magic power, their bodies are slowly disintegrating and collapsing under the erosion of Anti-Magic, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Ian raised his hand and threw Dante, who was bound by chains, and Zenon, who was frozen in time, into the black Cosmic Cube body, and then held it slightly with five fingers. The huge Cosmic Cube body shrank sharply, and finally turned into a black square the size of Magic Cube, which landed steadily in his palm.
Ian raised his head and glanced at the grand battlefield. After seeing that the Shikigami army had completely gained the overwhelming upper hand, he stopped staying and opened a portal to a deeper place - Eighth Layer of the Underworld!
The moment he crossed the portal, the surrounding space became dead and empty.
"It seems that I can't escape my destined fate after all." Morris in the palm square sighed calmly through the barrier.
Ian ignored him and cast his profound gaze directly at the center of this ancient palace. There stood a throne made of unknown black bones. On top of the throne, sat a skeletal remains wearing a dark golden, heavy and dilapidated armor.
'This is the remains of Satan? It seems that he is indeed dead. However, this skeleton is a top-quality material used to refine top-grade undead.' Ian assessed secretly in his heart, and then turned to look at Morris in the square who seemed to be preparing to quietly start some kind of ritual.
"I have always suspected that 'God' must have planted some kind of chess piece in the mortal world." Ian said in a cold tone, "But I really didn't expect that the most important chess piece would be you, Morris."
"'Father God' gave me a bargaining chip that I simply cannot refuse." Morris pushed up his glasses, Blink's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
"Let me guess, it's 'endless knowledge'." Ian put it bluntly.
Morris was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I should have thought of it earlier. Mr. Ian, I have a hunch that if we meet under other circumstances, you and I will definitely become the most honest and compatible confidants, because we are both souls longing for Truth."
"Maybe. But the biggest difference between you and me is that I will never sell my soul to those hypocritical gods for something that I can get with my own hands." Ian sneered, "Why, are you still going to make unnecessary resistance?"
Morris had a weird smile on his lips and said nothing. In the next second, Ian appeared in front of him in the barrier as if teleporting. With a finger pointing between Morris's eyebrows, the tyrannical spirit Divine Power penetrated like a sharp sword, locking him instantly and taking over the core of his soul!
Almost at the same moment, Ian noticed an extremely vast and cold will - "Cosmic Will" was trying to come, trying to directly erase the soul of Morris to kill people!
"I should have been on guard against this move of yours!" Ian snorted coldly. Original Grimoire flipped and forcibly mobilized the underlying laws of the universe that were under his control, forcibly counteracting the "god"'s arrival!
After saving Morris's soul, Ian launched a rough soul search without any ceremony.
Sure enough, he dug up a shocking secret. In his early years, Morris fell into a state of madness in order to unlock the ultimate secret of magic, at all costs. At that time, the mysterious creature contacted him in a dream and promised Give him the knowledge he dreamed of, on the condition that Morris must serve him. Morris agreed without hesitation. His first task was to secretly assist Demons in opening the The door leading to Underworld in the real world, and always monitoring the movements of these Demons. And just recently, he received a new order: to obtain the remains of Satan. Unfortunately, the road to the eighth floor is extremely secretive and dangerous. Even Lucius, who inherited Lucifero Authority, doesn't know the method, and may even not know the existence of the eighth floor at all.
But this was not enough. This information could only be regarded as additional information for Ian. He still knew very little about the real details of "God". Therefore, Ian targeted another older soul, which must know more core secrets - time Demons, Astaroth!
This top-level Demons who survived the distant Ancient Gods demon war is a living history book. Lucius's Soul Magic allowed him to suppress Astaroth's soul and seize control of its magic power. Of course, Ian knew very well that he severely injured a few years ago. The hidden injuries left by Astaroth also provided great convenience for Lucius's success in seizing the body. However, Lucius's seizing of the body was obviously not perfect, because he actually attacked the "god" Nothing is known about the existence of Eighth Layer of the Underworld or the secret of Eighth Layer of the Underworld! These top-secret information that should exist in Astaroth's memory bank should be known to Lucius.
Ian coldly pulled out the remnant soul of Astaroth from the black cube, and the huge spirit Divine Power began to peel cocoons deep in its memory. Although many memory fragments have been blurred due to the erosion of time and interference from some external force, Ian still pieced together a chilling ancient truth.
At the beginning of the birth of the universe, God and Satan were the first creatures born in this world. Their duty is to jointly maintain the balance of the world as the absolute watchmen of "Afterlife". After the death of all things, the souls must be in Underworld accepts Judgment. Kind and upright souls will ascend to Elysium and become angels; sinful villains will be imprisoned in Underworld to endure eternal torture; and mediocre neutrals can re-enter reincarnation and be reincarnated as humans.
All this should have been running flawlessly. Until one day, the track of history deviated: it is said that Satan became greedy. He found that devouring the sinful souls who were punished in Underworld could greatly increase his own power. So, he began to spread temptations to the mortal world, tempting various races to fall into crime, just to let more souls fall into Underworld after death and become his nourishment.
Of course, God was extremely dissatisfied with this act of destroying the balance, and he decided to step in to stop this former friend and colleague. Unfortunately, the war got completely out of control and continued to spread, until the legendary Magic Emperor came out and sealed both God and Satan, who were both harmed, and ended the war Cataclysm.
After learning all this, Ian frowned tightly. He had always speculated that God and Satan were fighting for the opportunity of the "Transcendence" universe, but now it seems that his inference seems to be wrong.
"This information is very inconsistent." Ian whispered to himself. According to the information he has collected about "God" so far, the other party is an absolutely cold and extremely calculated existence. It is absolutely impossible to do such a thankless thing for the so-called "noble interests of mortal races".
After re-examining these historical fragments, Ian discovered several fatal anomalies. The first point was the cause of Satan's death. At the end of the war, Satan sacrificed most of his life force in exchange for strength, and severely damaged God at the cost of dying together. Later, he actually used Afterlife's laws to strengthen his opposition to God. Seal! Because of this, in the hundreds of thousands of years since the ancient war, up to 80% of the souls of all the dead in this world will automatically be converted into energy to strengthen the seal of the gods! After doing all this, when the Magic Emperor sealed Underworld and prohibited all Demons from entering the mortal world, Satan did not make even a trace of resistance, and died soon after.
"This reckless approach is not like a dictator who is swallowed up by the desire for power. It is more like... an act of revenge stemming from extreme Wrath." Ian commented sharply.
Another major anomaly is hidden in the memory fragment of a high-level showdown between gods and demons that Astaroth accidentally witnessed. In that seemingly evenly matched battle, Ian could easily see through God's micro-expressions and wandering eyes: God was not at fault at all. Power! Faced with the flaws exposed by Satan, God always deliberately ignores it and gives up the good opportunity to attack; and when Satan suddenly bursts out with super-limited power to make a surprise attack, God is always able to easily resolve it, but he always pretends to be miserable and seriously injured!
'With the support of these evidences, I can conclude with great confidence that this war sweeping the world was planned and provoked by God in order to achieve his ulterior "Transcendence" goal!'
After coming to this Shocker conclusion, Ian instantly raised the threat level against "God" to the highest level in his mind. However, it has been less than a month since the full launch of Elysium's invasion plan, and his secret son Nacht has already successfully sneaked into the enemy camp.
All the answers to the mystery will soon be completely opened to him.
Ian retracted his thoughts and his eyes fell on the remains of Satan on the throne again.
'The soul has completely dissipated. However, there is such a Demon Gods skeleton as the main body, supplemented by Astaroth, Beelzebub, and Lucifero The souls of the top powerhouses, Lucius and Dark Triad are used as nourishment... I can completely create an ultimate undead that can shake the world as my strongest support!'
He took action decisively and pocketed all the bones of Satan. Then he grabbed Void with his palm and took out the last piece of the puzzle - Diamond Kingdom Grimoire!
