A grand, distorted voice, filled with endless greed and violence, exploded directly into the depths of everyone's souls, echoing with a nauseating, blasphemous sound:
"What dazzling starlight...what an alluring divine aura! Finally...finally, this moment has arrived!"
The sound seemed to be a blend of the roars of countless demons, the murmurs of the abyss, and the friction of rocks, filled with inhuman qualities.
"You lowly ants, your struggles are nothing but appetizers before the grand feast! I have been patient for many days, waiting for this little girl to gather the power of the stars and moon to its peak!"
"In the instant before she steps into the realm of legend, devour and merge with her! Her soul, her divinity, will become the foundation upon which I break free from the shackles of this abyss and ascend to the supreme divine throne!"
An unseen gaze swept over Mark's struggling team, its gaze filled with naked hunger:
"As for you... this vibrant flesh and blood, this strange slime, you can barely be considered a decent dessert. I will savor you, making your humble lives mere embellishments on my path to the pinnacle of the gods!"
The terrifying aura of the demon god was like an invisible millstone, crushing everything in the valley.
The brilliant starlight surrounding Ellen fluctuated violently under this pressure, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
Mark's team was driven to the brink of despair, and the terrifying being that had been lurking for so long, having incorporated the entire monster army into itself, finally revealed its ferocious fangs, preparing to deliver a fatal blow at Ellen's most glorious and vulnerable moment!
The will of the terrifying demon god was like a million ice needles, piercing the souls of every member of Mark's squad!
The air was as thick as solidified as asphalt, making it suffocating.
The eyes of the immobilized monsters burned with a fanatical desire for destruction, waiting only for a command to tear them apart.
However, whether it was Mark who had faced the Seraph's incarnation, or Enzo, Anna, Monica who had teetered on the brink of death time and time again, or even the extraordinary Little M, none of them had the words "sit and wait for death" in their dictionary!
Kamui?
They've seen this more than once!
The sweet hell of Maple Leaf Town, the clash of gods in the royal tomb—each time was a near-death experience.
Mere intimidation won't make them submit!
"Ugh—!" Enzo let out a beastly growl, his lava patterns on his body turning like a red-hot iron, bursting with a dazzling red light!
He withstood the oppressive force that seemed to crush his bones, and violently pulled the lava warhammer, which was deeply embedded in the ground, up. The scorching air instantly evaporated the surrounding viscous air, producing a hissing sound.
"Bullshit! You want to eat me? I'll knock your teeth out first!" His eyes were bloodshot, and his violent fighting spirit forced open a small, scorching domain within the divine might.
Anna's face was ashen, and her Shadow Spiral pupils spun rapidly under the extreme mutation, forcefully resisting the freezing sensation on the soul level.
She bit her tongue, the sharp pain bringing a sliver of clarity. Her figure instantly disappeared into a twisted shadow, narrowly avoiding the attacks of several Shadowclaw Beasts that were stirring due to the resurgence of the Demon God's will.
The Shadow Arrow was painstakingly formed at her fingertips, its tip trembling, yet it was firmly locked onto the nearest Abyssal Abomination.
Monica is under the most direct pressure!
The Appraisal Technique was activated at full power in an attempt to analyze the source of this terrifying will. His wine-red eyes were almost bursting open by the surging magic, and tiny beads of blood seeped from the corners of his eyes.
But then a flash of inspiration struck her, like grasping a glimmer of light in the darkness!
“Mark! Enzo! Its true form isn’t here!” she hissed, her voice sharp. “I’ve examined all the monsters and magical flows around us! This will is attached to them! It’s a projection manifested through these monsters! It’s in the abyss! Trapped by something! Destroy these monsters, sever its ’tentacles’!”
Monica's words were like ice water thrown into a pot of boiling oil, instantly igniting a fire in everyone's eyes!
It wasn't the real body descending?
Then there's still a glimmer of hope!
"Heh...heh heh heh..." The vast, twisted demonic will emitted a grating sneer, like sandpaper rubbing against the soul. "The insight of ants is somewhat surprising to me. But what if you see through it? You few humans think you can cut through the net I've laid? How utterly laughable!"
The demon god's will suddenly tightened, like a mountain collapsing!
"Feel the true power of the abyss! Make them my claws and crush them!"
boom--!
Outside the valley, the cave entrance from which monsters were constantly emerging suddenly spewed out thick, ink-like dark magic!
This magical power, like a plague, instantly flowed into every stagnant monster!
"roar--!!!"
A deafening roar tore through the frozen air!
All the monsters' bodies visibly swelled, twisted, and mutated!
The Shadowclaw Beast's body elongated, its claws growing several feet longer, shimmering with ominous, dark purple demonic patterns.
The rotting flesh of the abyss proliferated wildly, the sutures broke open, revealing more bone spurs and sharp teeth oozing pus.
The wailing banshee's screams transformed into tangible sonic blades.
Even the lowest-ranking lesser demons had bulging muscles, protruding fangs, and pure madness in their eyes!
The demon army, empowered by the power of the demon god, was like a destructive tidal wave that had been completely ignited. With a ferocity far exceeding that of before, it charged once again at the edge of the magic circle with overwhelming force!
The sheer force of it seemed to be enough to flatten and devour the entire valley, along with the twinkling starlight within!
"Dessert? You're just my appetizer!"
Enzo roared, and the Lava Warhammer, with the momentum to burn the eight wastelands, fiercely met the mutated abomination charging at the front!
The lava clashed violently with the rotting flesh and magic runes, unleashing a piercing burning sound and a stench!
Anna's figure darted between shadow and form at high speed, her shadow arrows like deadly beams of light, precisely striking the mutated monsters at the most unstable points of their magical energy, forcibly induced by the power of the demon god, attempting to detonate them.
Despite the excruciating pain in her head, Monica's hands moved swiftly, sending dark chains of energy shooting up from the ground to ensnare the incredibly fast and threatening mutated Shadowclaw Beasts and Hunters, buying her teammates precious openings to attack.
Her analytical vision was fixed on the flow of magical power within the demon, searching for the weakest link where the demon god's will was attached.
Little Mu cried out urgently, unleashing a burst of seven-colored light that formed a strong light barrier to protect Mark and Ellen behind him. At the same time, it continuously shot out purifying beams to weaken the demonic power eroding the monsters and slow down their mutation.
Mark's heart pounded in his chest, and sweat mixed with blood rolled down his forehead.
The Soul Harmonizer passively sensed the omnipresent malice and violent energy turbulence that threatened to tear him apart.
He watched his teammates fight valiantly, saw Ellen's slightly furrowed brows and her aura reaching its peak amidst the dazzling starlight, and then glanced at the surging tide of monsters strengthened by the demon god.
We cannot retreat! There is nowhere left to retreat!
