Chapter One Thousand and Eighteen

It's just a coincidence.

Watching the chuckling human in front of him disappear into a cloud of lightning like that, Gracia whispered.

Then, she was stunned.

Why did you suddenly say such a sentence?

She knew what she was thinking in her heart, that person's strength was so powerful, worthy of being the holder of the ancient evil thing, and now as long as he could get close to Azus, he might end smoothly, and her father would get the greatest practical benefit, and the area of hell would inevitably be expanded in the future......

None of these lines of thought was concerned with whether or not the man's actions were accidental—even if they were accidental, but at least they meant that he was on a par with Azus in strength, and that he needed no emphasis, and that it would be useful for him to carry out his plans.

So there was no reason for Glesia to say that way in such a vague way.

Wait a minute...... If Azus had said so, he might have adapted to this environment.

The corners of the devil princess's mouth raised a smile, and a certain realization made her suddenly think that the person who was thinking about this sentence was not her, but Azus - in the divine domain of this mage god, in the moment that had just passed, Azus was thinking about this matter with an extremely strong thought, so the whole space was resonating with his idea, and in it, Grazia was naturally the object of that resonance.

Reflections end here...... Grathia suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Her body moved slightly in the space, and a sword-like divine power luster rose up beside her, and then shattered into countless tiny blades. Surrounded by her!, however, the speed of this thing was really slow, when Glesia's movements were over. The blades had been left behind by her. Let her calmly look into the distance, the figure of the person who is passing towards the center of darkness.

The black figure was slowly moving away......

However, it was only an illusion, and in fact, the black figure moved quickly, like thunder and lightning! Even in the process of moving, it was constantly moving sideways from side to side. A winding path was pulled in the void, but because it was too far away from Glesia at this time, it seemed to be slowly moving away.

But this is the one who is flying forward. Is it real, or is it an illusion?

This question is difficult to answer.

But apparently, Azus thought it should be true—that the feelings of the gods should not have been deceived by other human means, even if that human possessed any strange abilities. The barriers between God and man are absolute. There is no way to cross. As for the scene that just happened......

"It was just an accident......

It only takes 10,000 times to repeat a lie, and it becomes the truth—something that a magician in this world has said, and that is often taken as a guideline by some, or because it itself is a 'truth' that it has long been unaware of and repeated tens of millions of times.

But even if Azus could say this phrase in his heart a million times in an instant, the fake would still be false and would not become true......

The divine power constructed countless blades in the space, attacking the person from every corner! The petal-like blades had already wrapped around the person's body in a single flash, and then stirred it into a pool of flesh and blood! They have faded away, and the man. Reappear behind that piece of sword flower and reach out and hook it!

Countless blades had lost their form in an instant, and the silver luster flowed like water, surging into his palm.

But that's a trap, right?

On the other side of the battlefield, Glesia looked at the flowing silver light, but couldn't help but be shocked - although when dodging the attack, that human could use countless illusions to hide himself, but the moment he absorbed the divine power, of course, it was impossible for him to appear in the form of an illusion.

How could the god of mages not see such a simple question?

In fact, the moment that thought crossed my mind, a chilling electric light was generated out of thin air!

The lightning split through the void, and in an imperceptible moment, the blade of the sword had already crossed half the world, as if it had completely cut it through! The dust of the astral plane flew away, revealing the deep and void below, and then this nothingness was reflected by the light on the sword's body, and the light advanced along an unpredictable zigzag trajectory towards the deep depths, just as after being separated by the giant sword, revealing the gray sky behind it.

Even the Devil's Sixth Prison Lord was going to tremble under the power of such a sword, and Glesia's eyes widened blankly, watching the mountain-like blade appear in front of him, occupying a glimpse of his field of vision.

However, such a powerful sword was incomparable, but in the end, it was in vain.

The shining holy sword cooled down from the brilliance that could not be seen directly, and the sword body that slashed through half of the space burst out with countless lightning bolts, but it could not cause even the slightest trouble to that human being—from the direction of Glesia, it could be clearly seen that the trajectory of the burst of energy was a full mile away from the position of that person! Such a distance was insignificant compared to this vast space, but it was enough for the telemagician to calmly absorb the blade-like divine power around him, and then slowly move forward.

His hands reached forward, clasped together, and pressed the massive sword.

As a result, this divine power, which was the second line of attack, could only flow in vain, turning into a silver trail like water......

It's over......

Glesia breathed deeply, as if to suppress her trembling sea of consciousness with the help of this action that was not necessary for the avatar...... It was not only the qiē shaking in front of her, but also the overwhelming waves of love in the space around her.

The scales of war are tilting in favor of those who are far away from Azus.

This mage god has really been forced to a dead end - at this moment, his power is declining, but he is approached by a being who is extremely good at absorbing power, no matter what he does, he can only watch his divine power being plundered little by little...... Even his power still envelops the entire plane, unmatched. However, as long as there is enough power, it can be seen. At this moment, Azus has been put in a cage.

A cage called hypocrisy......

The greatest effect of illusion is not to damage the enemy's body, but to interfere with their will, and it is impossible to distinguish whether their attack has an effect or not. Even what you are doing - a qiē is all false, it is an illusion, the truth is of course zài, but it is like a speck of dust in the vast sea of smoke! When it is in the same room as the illusion, the judgment of the qiē has collapsed, even if the opponent is in front of you, but you have no way to touch him. And how to attack?

Count it as attacking the entire space to find the opponent's position, but will the next really decisive attack be affected and missed?

Creating subordinates who have no mind at all and will not be influenced to help them, but the absence of a mind means that the action is inefficient, and only a sufficient number can be used as a supplement...... But to reach that amount. How much time and how much energy does it take to make it?

Or just open the exit to the outside of the magic tower and let the activating spells of the guards on the outer layer come in to help?

However, it is even more unlikely, once the blockade of space is opened. No one knows what kind of new trouble that enemy will create when he falls to the ground. His understanding of the laws of space is almost not inferior to that of the mage god, and now this battle is not a simple two-party contest, Asmodeus has always coveted the weakening of the mage god, and the door of space has been removed, how can the Lord of the Nine Hells ignore this opportunity to participate? Not to mention, there is also the World Tree Yuga Tehira waiting for the opportunity to reclaim his body!

Unless, being able to attack his weakness.

"That's not right...... He ......"

The whole space shuddered. A flash of lightning suddenly crossed Glesia's heart! The face of the devil princess had instantly lost its indifference and rigidity, like a delicate sculptural mask. Without a hint of expression - it is a means for a doppelganger to cut off all emotional expressions, but usually this severance also represents a kind of emotion, that is, panic!

Because she could read the meaning of the trembling in the space...... That was the excitement of Azus.

Not the anger, uneasiness, or even self-deception that preceded it, but the excitement!

He had finally found a way to actually hurt that person......

Glesia looked up...... And in the process, the darkness at the center of her career has tumbled and lost its human form, and it seems to have become a large hole with a cold wind constantly blowing outward...... But instead of a fiery, bright, or cold sheen, the ejection resembles a mist that has been bound together.

The fog expanded.

At this time, it seemed to finally show some attack-like appearance, and outside the large mist, countless air currents and lightning were pushing and striking, like the thick clouds in the sky when a storm came.

However, as long as you have a little understanding of the power of space, you can know that it is not actually lightning, but a dimensional rift created by the folding and cracking of space, where it passes, even space is torn into flying energy - hundreds of deep cracks spread everywhere, and then they are pushed and crushed together by an incomparable force, black pillars of light flicker in it, and the clouds of smoke that rise to the sky are almost like a mountain rising between heaven and earth! Even though the spatial boundary of the void and the astral matter stubbornly resisted it, it kept retreating at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The trajectory of this attack was unusually far away, whether it was from Glesia or the telemancer - however, the Devil Princess's mind did not relax in the slightest, because she knew that the attack must not have been skewed from the beginning, it did not rush towards itself, it was because it was not aimed at herself!

But......

The silver star flickered, and then stretched into three pairs of flaming wings, and Ariel's body wrapped in the holy flame rushed towards Edward's direction like a meteor, but behind her, the cracks in the space had already rolled in at this time, and countless cracks that cut through the space pulled the space, and the indescribable speed exceeded the observer's vision, so it could only leave traces of space scattered and rolled back in the field of vision like fireworks, and the shattered cracks were like a huge and incomparable black chrysanthemum blooming in the void!

Azus was delighted.

Because he knew that this was the salvation of the enemy.

Even if a qiē is fake, the fact that that person exists in this space is true...... If you think about it from this point of view. A qiē will become very simple, and it will be enough to destroy a qiē.

You...... How?

Grasia's gaze lingered only for a moment on the traces of the space. And he turned back to the human being...... The great blade power was still shaking, turning into a part of the man's self. But the job also dragged him in place—or he had a way to give up halfway and rescue his companions. However, if you do that, it is very likely that the remnants of your divine power will be controlled by Azus again, causing him a heavy blow!

The easiest way to do this is to turn a blind eye...... Let Azus's attack devour the celestial creature. Then, absorb that divine power. Attacking Azus's main body - the consumption caused by such a strong force from Azus is so intense that even the Devil Princess can feel his weakness, this is undoubtedly the greatest opportunity.

However. Would that person do that?

He has an excellent soul that even the devil covets. Cunning, greedy, and ruthless...... It has a characteristic of a devil, and even exceeds it in some places. And it is precisely because of these advantages. Only then can he recover from his original weakened state in hell. Until now......

But he is not a devil after all, after all, he is just an ordinary human being, after all, he can't take profit and efficiency as the highest criterion, which leads to his fatal weakness. When he is faced with certain extreme situations, such as the present, he is prone to be passive.

After all, he ...... I couldn't let go of that person, that woman, that woman who was covered in an obnoxious divine aura and who had a blazing god in her soul...... Or. And that Blazing Divine Attendant?

The princess of the devil silently watched the dazzling silver arc of light around the man's body burst outward, and then. He streaked through the space like a line extending from it, resolutely rushing towards the space that was shattering, and then the golden and silver light slowly extended in the void, converging inward...... Before a shattered light and shadow, the bright silver and gold seemed to be more dazzling than all the qiē in this space, even in those shattered spaces, the countless burning halos that exploded could not be compared.

"Let's die, if only we were dead!" Glesia muttered to herself.

Yes, they are dead.

Such a straight, slow, undisguised trajectory, in the eyes of the gods it was like a fly with lost wings, almost like how could Azus let go of this opportunity? Even if he could use illusions to confuse Azus, it was impossible for Azus to be fooled. Because he didn't care about the distance anymore, no matter how far it was, as long as he destroyed that space, the things wrapped in it would not be spared. Even if he used the divine power he had just devoured to build a shield, it would be impossible to stop the collapse of the space!

Or is the only thing to be thankful for is that once this space is destroyed, my father will be able to come here immediately, and after mobilizing more powerful forces, Azus must be in the bag of the Lord of the Nine Hells, right? Oh, and add a corpse of Misla...... Maybe you will soon be able to sing happily on the Heavenly Mountain, and then add hundreds of thousands of angels as servants?

Well, not those depraved black-winged ones, but those white-winged real angels, when they kneel in front of them and praise the great Nine Hells, the great Queen of Glesia, that feeling, must be pleasant, right?

Edward Vincent.

Hell won't forget your exploits, and I might give you a place to place your statue in the middle of the nine layers of hell?Oh, at that time, it was already eighteen layers of hell...... Well, plus the Heavenly Mountain, and the Pazunia of the Abyss Plains?As for the appearance of the statue, just use your stupid expression now, the panic and despair before you huddle with that nasty celestial creature and then be churned into a piece of minced flesh by the fragments of space.

That puts me in a good mood, doesn't it? stupid guys always put me in a good mood, especially humans who used to be smart but have gotten stupid at some point.

...... Hell, it doesn't seem to be at all!

The Devil Princess clenched her fists, her long nails piercing into her palms, but she didn't seem to feel the pain at all, for at some point, all her energy had been poured into the intersecting gold and silver lines. She saw the two lines getting closer and closer, and she also saw the flower-like black shadow blooming, and it seemed that she couldn't think of anything in her mind for a while.

Silver and gold, finally handing over.

The radiant and beautiful body with six wings stretched out collided violently with the black robe that appeared in the silver arc light...... Then, before the protective spell could unfold even a spark, it had been cut into countless pieces by the terrifying electric light, and was swept and swallowed by the light and shadow of the divine power!

Gracia realized that she had not seen anything at all.

She stood still in the darkness, watching the qiē in front of her continue to crumble like a shattered crystal, created by divine energy, and the natural environment similar to the material plane was rapidly changing dramatically—the gravity effect was rapidly disturbed, the black and purple shadows began to fluctuate, like a gradually boiling thick magma flowing wantonly, and the stellar smoke whistled and blew a storm, causing pillars of smoke to coil and twist like giant snakes wandering and foraging, throwing colorful explosions from the swirling dark clouds, making the sky tremble like the ground.
