The Power of Adaptation, as the fundamental professional ability of the Earth Guardian, was something that other Transcendent beings could not originally possess.
However, the relationship between Gustavo and Lancelot was too special, and Logo, who possessed the Eye of Insight, assisted them from the side.
While it's impossible to obtain a complete version of Power of Adaptation, creating a monkey- Power of Adaptation isn't difficult.
After swallowing the abundant resources from the bone bead, Gustavo began to enhance his talent.
Elven Plane, Planet Oklo, Sunset Jungle, within the dimensional interlayer.
The original Underdark was swallowed up by the Nirvana Tower, and the spatial rifts left behind were gradually healed and disappeared under the repair of the Plane Will.
Nirvana Tower, after more than ten days of bloody warfare, the entire space was shattered. If it weren't for Logo mobilizing the power of the Nirvana Tower and spatial resources to fill the gap, this area would have been destroyed long ago.
The repeated destruction and reconstruction have expanded the area of the originally Underdark by more than ten times.
Despite this, the endless stream of demons pouring out of the Gate of the Abyss continued to fill every inch of land. They roared as they clashed with Logo's warriors, Demigod against Demigod, soldiers against soldiers, and every moment, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Rumble--
A thunderous explosion resounded throughout the area, causing fear to emanate from the demons who heard it, while their own warriors were overjoyed.
The next moment, a massive golden wing, like a cloud hanging from the sky, swept across the heavens. Its tassel-like feathers gracefully unfurled amidst the gale and intense light. When Lancelot fully spread his wings, the place where he stood became light, Endless light.
Like the immense, intense light produced by solar fission, it appeared reddish-gold on the outside, but the color faded as you went in. At the very center, there was a dazzling white light, with a temperature high enough to instantly melt a spaceship.
A powerful storm, carrying Destruction light, poured down like a terrifying, blazing sun falling. As this sun crashed into the boundless horde of demons, the crimson gold and incandescent light turned blood red and blackish purple. In an instant, millions of demons were annihilated into Ashes. Even high-ranking demons could not escape their fate. This rate of destruction nearly emptied half of the Underdark, greatly enraging several Peak Demigod- level demons. This golden behemoth had already given the demon race too many "surprises," its destructive power was simply too astonishing.
After the Holy Light swept past, the Sin-Burning Fire burned fiercely and gathered once again on Lancelot's body. He suddenly flapped his wings, sending balls of flame into the faintly emerging Holy Light channel behind him, covering each Holy Spirit with armor of fire.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Holy Spirit Holy Spirit clad in flame armor swarmed out, their destructive power a terrifying spectacle amplified by the Sin-Burning Fire.
Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the Holy Spirit Legion generally exhibits characteristics of the demon race. Clearly, they are all demon warriors who were 'summoned' by Lancelot and 'voluntarily' submitted to him.
After a series of attacks, Lancelot flew back to gather his strength for the next wave of attacks.
His ability to unleash that attack that instantly annihilated millions of demons was not a casual act; it required him to completely deplete his own energy and most of the energy reserves in his Steel Feather Cloak. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to achieve such a terrifying result.
Frankly, the Demigod on the Crimson Alliance side were quite surprised. They didn't understand why Lancelot, as the guest force, was fighting so hard in this war. Judging from his posture, it was as if he had a life-or-death feud with the demon race. Or perhaps, there was some deal between His Excellency the Radiance of Holy Light and His Majesty Campbell that no one else knew about?
Various speculations surged like an undercurrent, but no one dared to ask him directly. Lancelot was no longer the young man he once was. After single-handedly annihilating the Blood Clan and retrieving the blueprints for the Firmament Class fortress, he was now undoubtedly the most prestigious figure in the Alliance.
Lancelot, returning with wings spread, encountered an ambush from the demon race, who wanted to keep him there. However, he was momentarily suspended in mid-air by Rune Array that suddenly fell from the sky. Taking advantage of this time, Lancelot activated "Purest Holy Light" and, like a slippery fish, returned with great ease to the core defense hub built by Logo with the five Demon Slaughterhouse at its core.
Energy channels descended from above, connecting to Lancelot's body and supplying him with energy. Various potions and supplements were also delivered through these channels, rapidly replenishing Lancelot's depleted reserves. Brilliant golden threads appeared along the edges of his skin, making him appear like a radiant deity. Waves of golden particles emanated from his body, resembling a blazing divine fire. Perhaps at this moment, Lancelot truly lived up to the title of God of Radiance.
"How's the accumulation of Abyss Power going?" Lancelot asked casually as he lazily enjoyed Logo's logistical support.
"If it's just about breaking through to the Five-Star Miracle quality, that's enough. But I think, since we've opened the Gate of the Abyss and have such a good opportunity, why not accumulate enough Abyss Power in one go and send the Nirvana Tower to the Six-Star Legend quality or higher?" Logo's voice came from above, and golden-blue energy gathered into his face as he looked at Lancelot.
"What you're doing is very risky. If a demon lord is alerted, it will be disastrous," Lancelot said, frowning slightly.
"I know, don't worry. My bloodline clone and Audora have been watching from the other side. They're equipped with the most advanced detection equipment, capable of detecting the Demon Lord's presence immediately. Even if they can't detect him, it doesn't matter. As long as the Demon Lord wants to pass through the Gate of the Abyss, he'll inevitably have to bypass my detection. At that point, we can just destroy the Gate of the Abyss. Wasting some resources is nothing!"
Logo's plan was very thorough. Although there were some risks, they were generally within a controllable range. As for unexpected events that occurred during the execution of the plan, those were force majeure events. We'll deal with them when they happen. Worrying unnecessarily is not advisable, and throwing the baby out with the bathwater is just asking for trouble.
Seeing Logo's attitude, Lancelot said nothing more, shrugged, and continued charging.
Logo, meanwhile, kept an eye on the battlefield below, deploying the demon troops produced by the Demon Slaughterhouse to where they were most needed. Although these troops would likely not last more than half an hour, they were still a contribution, weren't they? Even a mosquito's leg is still meat!
Aside from the demon units that were practically useless, Logo's most outstanding unit was none other than Ares, the Lord of Soldiers.
This colossus, Colossus once possessed Divine Authority of War, played a role in large-scale warfare comparable to three or four Peak Demigod.
Under the combined aura of Ares' war, the morale of all warriors in the Gendaya Royal Court and the An Alliance soared to its limit, engaging in a life-or-death struggle with the Demon Race, fearless of death.
With Ares, there's no need for any pre-battle motivation or mobilization. Just by standing there and releasing his aura, he can stack layers of buffs on your own army.
Furthermore, Ares possesses a formidable ability that leaves enemies helpless—[War Sustainment], which allows fallen or incapacitated soldiers to rise again and maintain peak combat effectiveness for a period of time.
Imagine this scene: just when the enemy thinks the battle is over, suddenly, a war aura sweeps across, and the previously shattered corpses automatically piece themselves together, unleashing their peak combat power from before they were born. They charge forward like skeletal undead, fearless and relentless. Putting aside their physical destructive power, the psychological blow they inflict on the enemy alone is devastating.
The only regret of this war was that the Nirvana Legion was too small, only two or three thousand strong. Although their individual combat power was very strong, they were still stretched thin in the face of the vast ocean of demons.
Moreover, Ares, as Colossus, is the most suitable combination with the Nirvana Legion. The two share the same origin and can unleash 200% or 300% of their combat power.
Logo had neither the time nor the resources.
Resources are secondary; even low-quality materials will do, as long as they are usable. The key is time. Every component, every energy circuit, every bionic muscle... all require time to manufacture.
Logo always seemed to lack time, which made him wonder if he should create a secondary talent that could speed up the production of alchemical logistics lines when he advanced to the Grandmaster Alchemy Master level.
If there's not enough time, efficiency will make up for it. Otherwise, the production speed of the Nirvana Tower will never keep up with its growth rate, which won't do and will cause a lot of trouble.
As they pondered, the war continued, the Rune Array activated, extracting Abyss Power that settled within the Nirvana Tower, awaiting the moment of their complete activation.
It's actually possible to advance now, but the risk is too great. During wartime, the entire Underdark is entirely maintained by the Nirvana Tower's system because it has been absorbed by the Nirvana Tower. If the Nirvana Tower were to improve its quality, the Underdark would inevitably collapse in the endless war.
The Demon Race will spread throughout Sunset Jungle and even the Radiant Continent. At that time, they will be able to open the Gate of the Abyss themselves and summon even more Demon Race.
Instead of what it is now, where any sign of opening Gate of the Abyss is immediately destroyed by Logo using the power of the Nirvana Tower.
Theoretically speaking, the war currently taking place is being fought inside Logo's "belly," so he can maintain complete control. If the location were changed, the situation would completely spiral out of control.
Therefore, even if Nirvana Tower accumulates enough Abyss Power to advance to Five-Star Miracle quality, Logo will not, and cannot, choose to advance; he must first eliminate all the demons.
In the private laboratory at the top of the Nirvana Tower, Logo's energy body was tilting his head back, staring at the slowly rising scale on the screen in front of him.
As time passed, the scale gradually approached that red line.
At a certain moment, when the scale finally aligned with the red line, Logo immediately and without hesitation activated the Nirvana Tower, destroying the Gate of the Abyss.
Boom!!
Like a dazzling firework exploding, the Gate of the Abyss exploded before the astonished and incredulous eyes of the Demons of the Abyss.
"This is impossible! We have clearly reinforced the Gate of the Abyss. How could the Gate of the Abyss, which has been soaked in demon blood, still be controlled by these material beings?" A Demigod from the Balor Flame Demon race retreated repeatedly, his magma-like eyes flashing with fear.
Demons may be brutal, but they are not fools. Especially demons of his level, who are among the best in the demon race, would have been dead long ago if they didn't have brains. That's why this Balor Flame Demon was terrified; he understood all too well what the Destruction of the Gate of the Abyss meant.
First of all, all the Demons of the Abyss present were trapped.
Secondly, their opponents were not ordinary plane natives; these beings possessed the technology to skillfully manipulate the Gate of the Abyss, an advanced technology that only Astral Realm civilizations could generally master.
In other words, this Abyss invasion was merely an experiment by a certain Astral Realm civilization?
What's the point of us even fighting then?
Any Astral Realm- level civilization possesses combat power comparable to True God, and without the arrival of a demon lord, it would be impossible to contend with them.
Many demons shared the same thoughts as the Demigod of the Balor Flame Demon. Most of them were high-ranking demons who had seen the world, and they were all somewhat stunned for a moment. On the other hand, the ignorant lower and middle-ranking demons did not feel much about the Destruction of the Gate of the Abyss. They continued to fight blindly, completely unaware that their companions were being decimated at a terrifying speed.
On the other side, seeing their own high-level combatants being destroyed by the Gate of the Abyss, their spirits lifted. They realized that the war had reached its final stage, and as long as they could survive this last wave, they could complete their mission. They then fought with all their might.
The Balor leader, Azilis, stared at the human Demigod rushing towards him. There was no hesitation in his fiery red eyes. The Balor were one of the few stubborn Demon Race who rarely surrendered, and he was no exception.
With a slight tilt of his head, Azilis swung the Lava chains in his hand, and the chanting spells in demonic language resounded through the sky. Thick, scorching fire clouds formed in the sky, and then a storm of fire rained down like a cataclysmic disaster. As long as a person's body was touched by even a trace of the fire rain, the flames would burn incessantly.
Using the time gained by this powerful forbidden spell, Azilis roared as he pulled out his own Balor heart and ripped it in two. Instantly, demon blood splattered onto the ground like molten lava, stirring up a seemingly endless Abyss Magic Power. Space crackled and split open, and a fissure slowly appeared, with a roaring firestorm seemingly guarding the nascent gateway.
Boom!!
Thunder roared and crashed down from the sky.
Like a punishment from the heavens, a divine thunderbolt of judgment, it shattered the Abyss gate that was about to open, with overwhelming power.
The light in Azilis's eyes faded; he had failed once again.
An unknown entity hidden behind the scenes shattered his ambition to reopen the Gate of the Abyss.
"Cowardly insect, I, the Demons of the Abyss Azilis, despise you, a pathetic creature who can only hide behind the scenes..." The enraged Azilis roared, wildly swinging his long whip towards the sky, venting the gloom in his heart.
Boom!!
The winds rose and the clouds surged, the sky trembled.
The space seemed to groan under some kind of heavy pressure, drawing all eyes to it.
A majestic face slowly appeared, its aloof gaze overlooking the enormous Balor standing on the ground, devoid of any emotion, only calm.
Splash!
Golden chains shot out from all directions around the face, heading straight for Azilis, who was still spouting nonsense.
Having lost its heart, the latter was already greatly weakened and naturally could not resist. It was quickly bound like a dumpling, dragged into the suddenly appearing spatial portal, and disappeared.
Seeing this, many of the remaining high-ranking demons simply expressed their willingness to surrender.
Logo agreed, and as a result, more demons surrendered.
With the living example of Azilis before them, any demon with a modicum of intelligence could understand that they had no hope in this war.
Demons of the Abyss generally lack pride; they operate on a law of the jungle, believing that if you are strong, you can be their leader.
Of course, if one day I find that you are no longer strong, then it would be understandable if I betrayed you, wouldn't it?
Fearing power but not virtue, fickle and capricious—that is the Demons of the Abyss!
With the higher demons surrendering, the lower demons followed suit, laying down their weapons and being temporarily sealed away by Logo using Rune Array, transforming into endless stone sculptures standing on the shattered plains.
The Crimson Alliance followed Lancelot in his retreat, while the An Alliance and the Gendaya Royal Court, after being appeased by Logo, also withdrew from Nirvana Tower.
Soon, only Logo remained inside the entire Nirvana Tower.
Gazing upon the overflowing Abyss Power, Logo began the ascension of the Nirvana Tower.
