Star Moon, Main Hall.
Sylvain a gloomy face. The death of the Lord of the Free City had deeply saddened him, and a flame of Revenge burned within him.
That's why the Sun Eclipser summoned Sylvain back with just a wave of its hand, without arousing any suspicion, because the timing was perfect.
However, as soon as they entered the smog-filled hall, the shadow of death loomed over them, Sylvain's heart stopped, his eyes widening in shock.
Boom!!
An irresistible force of evil god crashed down from above, like a neutron star pressing down, causing Sylvain to involuntarily kneel on one knee. His knee struck the ground, creating a dent that quickly healed.
"Baliewei, what do you want to do?"
Sylvain coldly rebuked him, his pupils blazing with an eerie green light, and behind him, a phantom of Black Hole loomed, appearing and disappearing.
But as the power of the evil god erupted once more, all of Sylvain's resistance was shattered.
In someone else's carefully constructed lair, facing a Primordial Evil God of a far higher rank and Sun Eclipser being no weaker than oneself, such a situation is quite normal.
In fact, at this moment, Sylvain had already seen his Fate, but he didn't understand why.
He was in charge of the overall situation on the front lines. Even though his power had been largely taken away, over the years, Sylvain's connections had permeated every inch of Ashes's veins. He had confidants in every department. Once he was killed, Ashes would immediately be paralyzed.
Without Ashes's dirty glove, many affairs of the dark world will be difficult to advance, and the unification of the Guta Federation will inevitably be affected. Isn't this just handing the enemy an assist?
How could Baliewei do something so foolish?
With that in mind, Sylvain beating around the bush and asked directly.
When his powerful and angry words echoed in the hall, the Sun Eclipser was first stunned, then cackled, his laughter filled with extreme anger, jealousy, hatred and other negative emotions. His gaze toward Sylvain was no longer gentle, but only naked cruelty.
The Sun Eclipser didn't utter a word, but pounced forward like an enraged beast, the haze surging wildly behind it, obscuring everything.
After a long while, the haze dissipated.
The Sun Eclipser slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of its mouth, while Sylvain vanished.
"Excellent, the bloodline of the Dragon-Hunting Spider, this natural Devouring Physique, is perfect for bearing the power of world destruction..."
The voice that came out of the Sun Eclipser's mouth was no longer its original tone, but had been replaced by that of the Primordial Evil God, Diorus.
At this moment, both the Sun Eclipser and Sylvain were completely transformed into a part of Diorus's body, giving him a temporary physical form.
When the will and power of the evil god are no longer rootless and adrift, but have something to bear, the threat naturally begins to surge wildly.
Waves of terrifying divine pressure emanated from the Divine Body, who had spread his palms out and raised his head in a maniacal laugh. The entire Star Moon trembled as the external armor slowly revealed specks of gray-white on its silver-black exterior, which then spread wildly. In some areas, even fleshy tentacles began to appear.
In a short time, the entire Star Moon was completely transformed into an evil monster of steel and flesh. The Ashes members inside also had gray eyes with countless gray threads appearing in their pupils, a sign that they had completely become servants of the evil god.
Raising his pale, granite-like hand, half-raised it to the upper right, Diorus's lips curled into a ferocious grin. "Very good. Your current power is practically invincible in the Elven Plane, but..."
Diorus lowered his hand, his eyes flashing. "To restore God Level power, the main body still needs to be pulled out of the Realm of Exile. And if you want to directly return to the realm of Middle God, it would be best to devour the entire Elven Plane!"
His scarlet tongue lolled out, slowly licking his eyeballs, and the smile on Diorus's face grew increasingly cruel.
He is eager to return to his peak by destroying the world, but this cannot be rushed.
During the 30,000 years that Tibeici cast him into Realm of Exile, Diorus's personality changed from arrogance to caution and prudence. He learned to conceal his brilliance and focus on developing his strength, which undoubtedly made him even more difficult to deal with.
"Wait, I need to wait. The time for the initial exploration is not far off. The true time for the end of the world will only begin when all the major powers have left the Elven Plane and gone to another plane. Moreover, Grand Duke Tielin needs time to grow. There are still too few demon servants. I need more loyal demon servants, Guta Star People..."
Evil whispers echoed through the hall, countless tentacles surged in the shadows, and a haze permeated every inch of space, dominating all vision...
As the Sun Eclipser attacked Sylvain, Moon Devourer Scorni and Dark Moon Gelaxius, who had received orders, also began their operations simultaneously.
The Moon Devourer descended upon the headquarters of the Dark Moon, devouring all of Sylvain's most trusted confidants, including Thunder Star Pillar and the leader of the Black Spider. Whether Demigod or Epic, not a single one was spared; the cruelty was extreme.
However, this is precisely the code of conduct in the underworld: ruthless extermination is the basic operation. Those who haven't mastered this technique would have died long ago. Sylvain himself is an expert in this area, but this time he has become the victim.
Scorni the Moon Devourer was in charge of dealing with Sylvain's loyal subordinates, while Gelaxius Dark Moon, based on Planet Pandora, took action against Index.
It is worth mentioning that Dark Moon Gelaxius also watched the Lord of the Free City perish without doing anything. Strangely, from beginning to end, the Sun Eclipser seemed to have forgotten his existence, without uttering a single word of blame, instead shifting the blame entirely to Sylvain, who was hundreds of light-years away.
The King of Ashes, who wields the power of mind and darkness, is that terrifying. Even though only a very small portion of his power has leaked out, it is beyond the control of mortals below the God Level.
A god is still a god!
Let's move back a little bit.
The Land of Falling Stars, the Fallen Star Nest.
While chatting with his wife, Sylvain suddenly changed his expression. Immediately afterward, a terrifying aura of an evil god surged from his body, and gray haze spread along his skin like petrifying light, as if to turn him into a clay sculpture.
Sylvain, who also understood the Law of Karma, instantly realized that his clone also had no chance of surviving.
He looked at his wife Index and said only, "Run!" before flying away from the Fallen Star Nest to prevent the evil god's power from spreading to his wife and their two other children.
The despair in her husband's voice plunged Index's heart into an Abyss, and her vision went black. But she was, after all, Demigod of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, and she quickly regained her composure. She took a deep look at Sylvain's departing figure, waved her hand, pulled Mora and Bradley to her side, and then activated the power engine of the Fallen Star Nest.
That's right, what was originally just Fallen Star Nest as a residence has been transformed into a spaceship by Sylvain.
He used his connections to hire top shipbuilding masters, spending nearly 90% of his fortune to transform the Fallen Star Nest into a spaceship that was almost as powerful as the Guta Federation's "Nebula Class" mothership, and even stronger in terms of mobility and defense.
There was only one goal: to escape!
Having spent his entire life in the underworld, Sylvain knew all too well the saying that what goes around comes around, and the changes in the Sun Eclipser in recent years had made him equally uneasy.
However, if he judges the Sun Eclipser, this 'madman,' using the logic of a normal person, then problems are bound to arise.
Now, here's the problem: the Sun Eclipser bared its fangs at him, and further behind, stood an even more ferocious face of an evil god.
Before flying out of the Fallen Star Nest, Sylvain's clone was genuinely grateful for his previous actions. If all went well, his partner Index and the children would eventually escape.
As for Revenge, Sylvain would rather they forget him forever and not die.
In the instant before his death, when he came into direct contact with the power of the evil god, he saw through everything, understood all the Sun Eclipser's plans, and even saw the existence of that Primordial Evil God.
Sylvain had initially thought that the Sun Eclipser had obtained a sinister artifact, similar to the finger bone of the evil god that he used to create his clone. He never imagined that the Sun Eclipser would actually associate with a real evil god.
That's suicidal!
Trying to get something from a tiger!
If Sylvain had known this beforehand, he would have fought tooth and nail to stop the Sun Eclipser, even killing him, rather than associating with such an extremely dangerous being as Primordial Evil God.
There's no other reason than a lack of strength.
How can ants cooperate with giants?
Someone could accidentally sneeze and kill you; how could they possibly put you in the same position?
As for power, those who have never encountered True God can never imagine the magnitude of that power.
That was a completely different rank from that of Demigod.
Sylvain possessed racial heritage, and although he had never directly experienced the power of the True God, his reverence for the True God was ingrained in his very bones. This was not humility, but rather a form of protection.
When you lose your sense of awe, death is not far away.
As the Fallen Star Nest's power engine started, the powerful gravitational field, like a fully drawn slingshot, placed the Fallen Star Nest, like a marble, on the string and launched it out.
Boom!!
Concentric white rings, thousands of miles in diameter, spread out in layers.
Several seconds later, a deafening explosion resounded through the sky.
The Fallen Star Nest, leaving a long trail of air behind it, arrived in the atmosphere almost in the blink of an eye, where it encountered the suddenly appearing Dark Moon Gelaxius.
A heavy, dark fog permeated a large part of outer space.
It had demonic spiral horns growing from the top of its head, and its dark brown skin was covered with blood-stained keratin. Its body was hunched over, and there was a hideous scar on its chest, with blood oozing from the gash like a maggot clinging to a bone.
"Hehe, where is Madam headed?" Dark Moon Gelaxius revealed a dangerous smile, his greedy gaze sweeping over the Fallen Star Nest.
"Gelaxius, aren't you afraid of worsening your injuries and dying here?!"
Index appeared in front of the Fallen Star Nest, her head slightly tilted back, her long dress fluttering, her eyes disdainful, like a cold and aloof queen.
His smile vanished, and a cruel light flashed in Dark Moon Gelaxius's eyes. "Since you won't give me face, then die!"
After saying that, Dark Moon suddenly raised her hand, and black mist surged, transforming into a giant demonic maw that bit down at Index.
Dark Moon Gelaxius was very confident. After all, he was High-Rank Demigod. Although he had been severely injured by the Three-Eyed People's Scythe of Slaughter, his injuries had clearly improved a lot in the past few months. Although he could not unleash his full power, he could still kill Index, who had just reached the threshold of Mid-Rank Demigod.
Otherwise, given his shrewdness, he would never act rashly, even if it was an order from the leader of the Sun Eclipser.
Just as he watched helplessly as the City of Freedom Destruction, he remained a cold-blooded bystander from beginning to end.
Seeing that Dark Moon Gelaxius was about to make a move, Index's eyes flashed with determination. She glanced longingly at the nest behind her before preparing to burn her Life Essence and fight to the death.
However, at that moment, a deafening dragon roar resounded in her ears, and golden lightning containing unparalleled sharpness swept past Index.
Her hair danced wildly, her clothes fluttered, Index looked on in astonishment to see the once arrogant Dark Moon Gelaxius being beaten badly by a long spear.
"Run!"
The words were almost identical, the tone was nearly the same, and there was even a sense of intimacy between them...
If it weren't for that completely different aura, Index would have almost thought it was Sylvain came to rescue her.
Although she didn't know why this powerful figure Destruction the City of Freedom would suddenly appear and save her, Index seized the opportunity decisively, piloting the Fallen Star Nest, accelerating wildly, and finally transforming into a streak of leaping light and disappearing.
Noticing Index's disappearance, Lancelot breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked at Dark Moon Gelaxius before him and grinned, "Very good, now it's our turn!"
