But he was powerless to resist the demon army.
Faced with the prospect of being slaughtered by the demon army, with all the Snow Elf dying at the hands of evil demons, he was more inclined to gamble that the Lord of the Universe was merciful and could treat them kindly, since his current situation was entirely due to the Lord of the Universe's grace.
Weakness is the original sin.
It's a helpless situation where one has to depend on the strong!
"Roar"
As if sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Atiya, the demon army of the Black Domain World roared in fury, thick black smoke billowing from the molten lava marks on their bodies.
The demon army was willing to overdraw their physical potential to gain a temporary boost in strength.
The demon army, whose combat power increased dramatically in an instant, made the hard-won battle line precarious.
While the Gulu Beast were indeed stronger than the demons of the Black Domain World, their sheer numbers made it difficult for Gulu Beast to hold the battle line impregnable.
The spatial passage is over two thousand meters long. The Gulu Beast army can only defend 1,500 meters of it, and the remaining 500 meters need to be defended by the Snow Elf.
The Snow Elf ' low combat strength caused all the demons to focus their attacks on this area. The relentless, frenzied attacks of the Waves and Tides rendered the Snow Elf army virtually incapable of any effective offensive or defensive maneuvers.
"Boom"
The defensive line was breached; the Snow Elf' defensive position was torn apart by the demon army of the Black Domain World.
The demon army that broke through the 500-meter defense line was like a torrent of mud and rocks. Before the Snow Elf legion behind them could react, the demon army had already stormed into the Snow Elf army. The clear river water was instantly churned up, and all the defenses set up behind them collapsed in one blow.
Atiya saw it all clearly: the demon army, having boosted its combat power to its peak, annihilated the Snow Elf army with an almost instantaneous, overwhelming force.
The Gulu Beast Legion attempted to divide its forces to block the breached defenses, but the demon army, numbering dozens of times larger, held all the Gulu Beast firmly in place, preventing them from moving an inch.
The demon army, having breached ten lines of Snow Elf defenses, did not attack the collapsing Snow Elf army at the rear, even though a single charge from the demon army could have easily driven away millions of Snow Elf like ducks.
But the demon army missed the opportunity to crush the Snow Elf army's morale.
Instead, they turned their attention to him; a dark mass of people from the sky and the ground surged towards him!
"Hehehe, these little guys sensed the presence and are scared."
" Snow Elf chosen by the Lord of the Universe, you must ensure you live long enough for me to pass through the black vortex, otherwise I cannot save your world."
Within the black vortex formed by the shadows, a terrifying life force continuously conveys its message: once Atiya dies, the teleportation will fail and cease.
But Atiya watched as the unstoppable demon army raged on the battlefield. The terrified Snow Elf were utterly helpless, slaughtered in droves.
The army of Gulu Beast, trapped at the defensive line and unable to break through, already showed signs of despair in their eyes.
Let alone surviving until a powerful being arrives, it's questionable whether he can even survive a minute right now!
"Alright, I've made things difficult for you. I'll do it myself."
Just as the words were spoken within the black vortex, a plume of black smoke drifted out from it.
The moment these plumes of black smoke appeared, they seemed to have found their target and rushed toward the distant demon army.
The plume of black smoke made no sound and showed no sign of life, appearing indistinguishable from the smoke rising from a cooking fire.
But as they passed through the demons, no matter how terrifying or how many Snow Elf the demons had killed, they all instantly vanished and fell to the ground...
Dead!!
The terrifying demons, who slaughtered Snow Elf as easily as slaughtering weaklings, fell silently in droves upon encountering this plume of black smoke.
No matter how valiant and Invincible they appeared just a moment ago, they all died easily at this moment.
The Snow Elf, who had been waiting to be slaughtered, stared wide-eyed at what they saw, completely bewildered.
Even more demonic armies charged from afar, but the moment the smoke cleared, they all died silently.
No fighting or violent clashes occurred.
Death is only a matter of a moment.
Thousands upon thousands of demons that had terrified the Snow Elf for millennia died in this way.
"This is..."
Atiya watched the black smoke drift past him, focusing his gaze to its limit, and saw the secret within the smoke.
That wasn't black smoke; it was countless skulls shrunken to the size of dust!
"What a fine soul! We can't kill too many of them."
As the words emanated from the black vortex, the black smoke formed from the tiny skulls instantly halted its spread, focusing solely on Atiya and firmly protecting her.
It was as if they were guarding the arrival of something important and great!
As long as the demon army doesn't launch an attack, they'll spare even the demons that are right next to them!
"Roar"
A terrifying roar echoed once more from the demon army. The demons at the rear seemed oblivious to the unscathed corpses strewn across the ground, continuing their charge towards the area enveloped by countless skulls.
These demon armies forgot their mission to slaughter the Snow Elf army right before them, forgot their mission to conquer the Snowfield World.
Unleashing all its power, it charged towards the smoke formed by countless skulls!
Even if they were to be devoured by the skulls and die the moment they rushed into the black smoke, the vast majority of the demon army still refused to give up and continued their attack.
Urged on by their commander, they seemed determined to pave a path to the protected center with their own corpses!
"Oh, what a pity, such a delicious soul."
The sound came again from the black vortex, but this time it wasn't the hollow sound that came from a great distance before; it was more like a deep echo right next to one's ear.
Atiya's gaze had been drawn to the tiny skulls, but upon hearing the sound, he immediately looked behind him.
The black vortex, which was only a few meters in size at the time, has now expanded to three hundred meters, and a sharp foot gleaming with black metallic luster extends out from the black vortex.
A terrifying pressure descended, seemingly freezing the entire space in an instant. Countless low-level beings groaned in discomfort, and even the charging demon army could not withstand the terrifying aura. They felt as if they were carrying dozens of times the Gravity of gravity, and their attack speed decreased significantly.
Suddenly, a massive bolt of lightning, unlike anything the Snow Elf had ever seen, flashed across the sky. The terrifying roar sounded like a god unleashing his power, trying to wipe out the horrific life that had suddenly descended.
But just as the lightning struck down, a hideous maw struggled to emerge from the black vortex.
Its ferocious maw opened wide and swallowed the thunderbolt, which resembled the wrath of a god.
On the battlefield, all living beings witnessed this scene: a lightning strike that could kill them at any moment, a terrifying attack they couldn't even dodge, only to be swallowed whole by the life form that emerged from the black vortex...
The world seemed to be facing a tremendous challenge, as terrifying thunder roared once more. This time, however, the enormous black beetle, having struggled to free half its body from the black vortex, glared fiercely at the sky and uttered a single word.
"Roll,"
In an instant, all the lightning in the entire sky vanished, leaving no trace of destruction.
The god was terrified; he dared not face the terrifying being that had descended and could only flee far away!
Black Soluo looked at the battlefield, which had come to a standstill because of his appearance, and wanted to burst into laughter, but feeling the pressure coming from his lower body, he suppressed the emotion he wanted to express and decided that it was more important to arrive as soon as possible.
However, Black Soluo couldn't help but exclaim, "I really am a genius."
Why did Black Soluo descend upon the Snowfield World, and why wasn't it Leo who led the expedition? This was a solution they were forced to devise due to the current state of the two World Cluster.
As the Lord of Souls, Black Soluo is under constant surveillance. Whenever he dares to go on an expedition through the black vortex, a Stigmata Wizard will catch up with him the moment he leaves.
It's simply impossible to absorb the power of the soul's origin to increase one's strength.
The Stigmata Wizard had already clearly stipulated in the surrender agreement signed in the Returning Breath World that the Lord of Souls must report to the Wizard World before embarking on his expedition.
The absorption of the soul's primordial power and the control of puppets are subject to strict quantity requirements, completely severing the Lord of Souls's desire to significantly increase their strength.
It's simply impossible for Black Soluo to improve his strength through legitimate means.
This is not a dilemma faced by just one Lord of Souls, but a common problem encountered by all Lord of Souls.
The Elemental Wizard School, having lost track of the Black Skull, had their eyes fixed on Leo Leo.
Although the Body Refinement Wizard School and Leo seemed to have a very good relationship, Leo had never forgotten the matter of the Golden Eye Piercing Illusions.
And not long ago, he offended Beast Blood Boiling, and his arrogance was severely thwarted in front of more than seventy Stigmata Wizard.
Leo, too, was under the watchful eyes of countless people, and could only hide in his own demiplane and live a quiet life.
To outsiders, he seemed to have given up on the idea of an expedition, severed all contact with the outside world, and even turned the few remaining Stigmata Wizard with whom he had a good relationship into enemies, determined to become the most reclusive Stigmata Wizard.
Of course, these are all illusions.
While the main body appears to keep a low profile, spending its days in the laboratory, the clones Black Soluo and Baturu are busy at work.
Firstly, regarding the inability to participate in expeditions, Leo, based on his abilities in the Shadow Talent...
Try to use the shadow of the Snow Elf Atiya as a base to open a black vortex leading to the Snowfield World, allowing Black Soluo to quickly enter the Shadow Plane without anyone noticing, and then pass through Shadow Plane black vortex to complete his interdimensional descent!
