The golden flames of the World Furnace were completely extinguished, and the Star Core Space returned to calm. Logo looked at Lancelot and Gustavo, his gaze gradually sharpening.
Everything is ready; it's time to eliminate this Primordial Demon God that is wreaking havoc on the Elven Plane.
Somewhere in the Starry Sky of the Elven Plane.
On the enormous throne formed by smog, Diorus sat. Around him, space cracked, and surging energy from the dark Void poured into his body without ceasing, allowing his injuries to heal at an extremely slow pace.
"Slow, too slow. At this rate, I don't know how long it will take to recover to our peak..."
After another impatient murmur flashed through his mind, Diorus opened his incomparably scarlet eyes and looked at the cosmic storm belt enveloping the Golden Star, his pupils flashing with desire and savagery.
"It will be soon. In another three or four years, my power will be enough to break through the defenses of the cosmic storm belt. At that time, all life on Golden Star will perish!"
After venting his anger with a low growl, Diorus was about to close his eyes and continue healing when what he saw made his pupils shrink and his majestic body, which stretched across the Starry Sky, tremble involuntarily.
What did He see?
The cosmic storm belt unexpectedly opened a passage.
"Could it be that these natives also realized they couldn't defeat me, so they surrendered on their own?" This thought involuntarily popped into Diorus's mind.
He had no choice but to think that way, since from beginning to end he had not seen anyone on the Golden Star leave the Elven Plane, so he naturally had no way to call for reinforcements.
In addition, Diorus also did not sense the fluctuations that occurred when True God broke through.
With no external reinforcements and no True God born on its own soil, the most likely outcome of opening the cosmic storm belt is surrender, right? No problem!
Thinking this, Diorus sneered, "Ha, you think you can be spared just because you surrender? Wishful thinking! Since you dare to resist, none of you will live."
However, despite thinking this, Diorus did not make any unusual moves. He wanted to wait until the passage of the cosmic storm belt was wide enough that it would be difficult to close in a short time before launching a sudden attack and taking down this tough plane in one fell swoop.
However, Diorus soon realized something was wrong.
As the cosmic storm belt channel appeared, countless threads made of runes spread outward from the Golden Star, instantly enveloping the entire Elven Plane.
In an instant, the gazes of all parties who were spying on the situation inside the Elven Plane were completely cut off, but the reverse was not affected.
It's as if the Elven Plane has been fitted with one-way transparent glass; people inside the dimension can see outside, but not vice versa, creating information suppression.
Clearly, Logo was trying his best to conceal the true situation of his side, not wanting the Elven Plane to be exposed to the eyes of the various powerful figures in the Astral Realm so quickly.
On the other side, Diorus, sensing something was wrong, immediately tried to tear the rune threads apart. However, after launching the attack, he was shocked to find that the rune threads were actually bound to the dimensional crystal wall. To Destruction them, he had to break the dimensional crystal wall first.
So here's the question.
How can we break through the dimensional crystal wall?
The answer is to destroy the core of the plane's origin.
Then another question arises: if Diorus could destroy the core of the plane's origin, He would have done so long ago; why would He wait until now?
The original core of the Elven Plane was moved to the Golden Star by Logo several years ago. Without breaking the cosmic storm belt, there is no way to destroy the original core.
This creates a logical paradox.
For Diorus to devour the primordial core, he must first break through the dimensional crystal wall. However, the prerequisite for breaking through the dimensional crystal wall is to destroy the primordial core.
That's a classic case of being stubborn and then blocking both ends!
Upon realizing this, the Demon God was furious. At the same time, warning signs began to frequently alert him. Since the other party had set up an unknown Rune Array to shield them from external perception, it was very likely that they had not surrendered, but rather had acquired another secret weapon.
Could it be that the natives of the Elven Plane have some other way to deal with me? Is this another contingency plan left behind by Elven?
The wary Diorus did not act rashly. He stood up, and the gray throne behind him collapsed, transforming into a long-handled, club-like weapon in his hand, ready for battle.
Under the gaze of the King of Ashes, three figures emerged from the opened cosmic storm belt passage.
The storm howled as Logo stepped out, flanked by Lancelot and Gustavo on his left and right.
After glancing at the bewildered and uncertain Diorus in the distance, Logo casually waved his hand, and the light of runes behind him poured out, forming a giant Space-Time Barrier with the power of the Elven Plane's origin, temporarily locking the Space-Time of the entire plane and not giving the King of Ashes a chance to escape.
After doing all this, Logo and Gustavo stepped back, giving the stage to Lancelot. With the Steel Feather Cloak fully upgraded, Lancelot now had the confidence and strength to solo the King of Ashes.
Upon seeing the actions of Logo and the other two, Diorus was initially filled with rage, thinking that these three natives were looking down on him. However, as Lancelot's aura erupted and surged forward until it surpassed his own, the overwhelming sense of deadly danger caused the rage in the King of Ashes's eyes to quickly subside, becoming visibly clear.
Buzz~!!
His cloak billowed wildly, his fiery aura danced across the starry Starry Sky, and his powerful and domineering presence spread wildly along with the fluctuations of natural elements, creating an extremely magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle. This left many uneasy and powerful figures on the Golden Star dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes, thinking they had misread the scene.
Is this really His Excellency the Radiance of Holy Light?!
How long has it been? Just a few years, and you've already become a god? What do you take Transcendent cultivation for?!
If even Lancelot's own people, who were used to his Miracle, were this shocked, then the King of Ashes, Diorus, must have been even more astonished. In fact, it was Lancelot's change in strength that truly broke Diorus's defenses.
"Earth Guardian!! It's the Earth Guardian again, you persistent ghosts..."
Diorus was filled with both fear and anger, and at the same time, a sense of desolation rose in his heart. Was this his destiny?!
"I don't believe it!! Die!"
Facing Lancelot's overwhelming aura, Diorus gritted his teeth and charged forward against the current, his heart filled with ruthlessness. Behind him, gray haze surged, and Divine Realm descended, enveloping his weapon and slamming it heavily towards the guy in front of him.
Boom!
An overwhelming Tide of Destruction surged forth, Lancelot's hair danced wildly, and he slowly raised his head, his golden eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"Not convinced? Then... I'll beat you until you submit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lancelot's fist flew through the air. Within his arm and even his body, countless Undying Holy Soul, harnessing particles enhanced to the extreme by the Steel Feather Cloak, elevated the three SSS-level Innovation Skill, "King of Electromagnetism," "Undying Holy Spirit," and "Dark Iron Tyrant," to the level of True God.
With a deafening dragon roar and a flash of lightning, the King of Ashes, Diorus, who had been so fierce just moments before, was reduced to a shooting star and returned the way he came!
