"Get out of my way! It's mine!" the skeletal demon roared, its bone claws tearing off a large chunk of hard, shell-like tissue.
"Hiss—Delicious! It contains the power of a high-ranking demon god!" The lava behemoth's sucker tentacles tightly wrapped around a torn piece of "flesh and blood," greedily sucking up the remaining abyssal energy that had lost its vitality.
The filthy ghostly threads successfully wrapped around part of the empty skull and began to frantically absorb its energy.
The three demons were immersed in the ecstasy of devouring the remains of their superior kin and the pleasure of their increased power. They instinctively believed that this was caused by Andromalus's exhaustion during his escape or by the severe damage he had suffered from their previous attacks.
As for Andromalius's divine origin, which has completely vanished?
Anything can happen in the abyss; it might collapse or hide, but the food in front of you right now is real and tangible!
However, their feast lasted for less than ten breaths.
More powerful demonic wills, like vultures smelling carrion, swarmed in from all levels of the abyss!
"You despicable thief! Lay down the remains of Andromalus!"
"That's my spoils!"
"Kill them! Take it!"
The demons who came after only saw the three guys greedily dividing up the remains of a high-ranking demon god, not caring whether it was an empty shell or not.
To them, the energy and material contained in the remains were priceless treasures!
Having failed to capture Andromalus during the previous siege, how could they allow someone else to claim him now?
An earth-shattering battle between demons and gods erupted instantly at the bottom of the abyss!
The phosphorescent flames of the Skeleton God were extinguished by a torrent of foul demonic energy, and its bone claws were crushed by another colossal beast.
The lava behemoth's shell cracked under the bombardment of several laws, and scorching liquid flowed out.
The filthy ghostly figure was countered by a beam of pure darkness, the threads encasing its empty shell being forcibly corroded and torn apart...
Caught off guard, the three demons who arrived first were suddenly surrounded and attacked by the newcomers. Their roars and screams echoed in the abyss.
Andromarius's massive empty shell, under the impact of the violent energy of the demon-god battle, crumbled and scattered like a fragile sandcastle, becoming an insignificant embellishment in this chaotic feast.
...
The atmosphere in the valley outside the Demon Realm Rift was completely different from that in the Demon Realm Abyss, but equally tense.
The Archangel, possessed by a mysterious being and sprouting six wings, hovered in the air. The immense pressure made Enzo and Anna, who had just been resurrected, instinctively feel suffocated, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Although mysterious beings have always seemed to be helping them from behind, how can mortals possibly fathom the will of the gods?
Who knows, maybe the other party will suddenly not need them as tools anymore!
Mark gripped the cross tightly, and a seven-colored black light instinctively flowed across his body.
Monica shielded the weakened Anna, her shadow power poised to be unleashed.
Eileen's face was as pale as paper, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Maintaining the Starlink Chains to fight against the filth at the bottom of the abyss was incredibly taxing, and she was almost at the point of exhaustion.
However, her eyes remained sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the descending being. Although she did not know the appearance of the one who had been hiding behind Mark, she would never think that it was someone she could deal with.
Just as everyone was on edge, the Archangel moved.
His face, covered in flowing black light, seemed to show no emotion. He simply raised a hand made of pure black light and gently swiped it across the Star Moon Black Gold Mother Coin that maintained the star orbit channel in front of Ellen.
Sizzle—!
It was as if an invisible blade had severed the sturdy strings.
Eileen shuddered violently, let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
She felt herself being instantly severed by an irresistible force from the starlight chain that connected her to the chaotic battlefield deep within the abyss, which bound her to the star orbit.
The backlash from the forced interruption caused her already depleted magic core to throb with pain, and her body swayed, almost losing her balance.
The light of the Star Moon Black Gold Mother Coin suddenly dimmed, and the extended starlight trajectory disintegrated and vanished inch by inch like shattered glass.
Having done all this, the six-winged archangel seemed to have completed its mission.
The awe-inspiring, vast will of "mysterious existence" emanating from Him receded like the tide.
The seven-colored black light rapidly contracted and collapsed, eventually transforming into a thin stream of light that instantly disappeared into the not-yet-fully-closed spatial rift above the altar.
The rift closed silently, and the phantom of the altar vanished.
On the spot, Little Mu reverted to its slime form, letting out a soft "Mmm chirp," looking somewhat bewildered.
However, its aura was several times stronger than before, and its body was surrounded by a seven-colored light, filled with a kind of indescribable profundity.
Beside Little Mu and in front of Ellen, each floated a ball of dark energy enveloped in a gentle, seven-colored black light, slowly rotating.
That energy radiated a pure, boundless, and soul-stirring power!
Its essence is profound and dark, yet it carries a strange sense of purity, as if the purest source of darkness has been stripped of all impurities.
Mark and the others felt their hearts pound with fear just from sensing the level of that power.
"This is... the divinity of Andromalus?!"
Eileen's eyes revealed an undisguised shock.
She understood the true nature of the Abyss Demon God's divinity better than anyone else.
That is a poison deeply entangled with the filth and chaotic will of the abyss!
Forcibly absorbing it will, at best, lead to madness and depravity, and at worst, result in being devoured by the remnant will of the demon god!
Even she only dared to seize the divinity of a high-ranking demon god after gathering the star orbit projections of many powerful figures from the Holy Dragon Continent.
Moreover, her initial plan was simply to extract a small amount of divine power from a high-ranking demon god to complete her star map of the abyss.
But these two orbs of divinity before me...
She used her appraisal skills combined with her keen sense of the stars and moon to repeatedly examine the area, confirming the diagnosis without a doubt.
The abyssal pollution, chaotic will, demonic mark... all the negative and dangerous impurities were completely removed!
What remains is the pure, unclaimed "divine essence" representing the abyssal laws of "theft," "conspiracy," and "shadow control"!
This is simply an incredible miracle!
It's a purification that only a god-level technique could achieve!
Eileen's gaze instantly became incredibly complex.
She looked at the divine essence floating in front of her, then at herself, weak and swaying.
And the Demon Realm Rift outside the valley, which, although its source has been temporarily cut off, is still trembling and restless due to the aftermath of the battle between the demon gods.
The path to becoming a legend is right before your eyes!
Accepting a gift from a god of unknown origin and purpose is never a windfall!
It was only just now that she realized that the priest mentioned in the oracle of the Goddess of Stars and Moon was not actually a priest of the Holy Light.
Rather, they are the priests of this unknown deity.
