The next moment, the two of them rushed towards each other.
The shock wave created by the collision between the magic sword in Anno's hand and the long knife in Moying's hand instantly swept across the entire venue, officially announcing the start of the battle.
"You are worthy of being my shadow. Even if you are independent, you can still know what I am thinking!"
When An Nuo was fighting fiercely with the demon shadow, his eyes flashed with a strange light.
After destroying the City of God, the power of the Royal Court was completely eliminated.
Rudolf was sealed, and the Apostle of Time and Space no longer posed a threat to Anno.
The dream stealers spread across all dimensions replaced the royal court and became the most powerful force in the world.
But...the souls required for ascending dimension are far from enough.
For Anno, if the war ended now, he would lose the source of his soul.
In order to accumulate enough souls to upgrade his dimension, Annuo needs the war to continue!
Moreover, repairing the Philosopher's Stone requires the power of a protector, that is, the soul of the protector.
Now the Protectors are basically all among the Dream Stealers. If Annuo turns around and attacks the Dream Stealers, it will instantly cause the collapse of the Empire of Faith.
This is very disadvantageous for Anno, who may fight with the Supreme God of Time and Space at any time.
But Mo Ying is determined to be independent and will definitely not help Annuo.
But when he separated from Anno's body, he already knew about the soul's dimensionality and the key of protection.
Naturally, he also knew that Annuo had not yet met the conditions.
The Philosopher's Stone, Shadow must also want it.
Although they have become enemies, the Shadow Demon needs to stand up and "help" the main body collect souls.
After losing all threats, Anno will suppress the strength of the Summoning Legion so that the power of the Shadow can slaughter the Dream Stealer!
"We've come this far and will soon get the Philosopher's Stone. These are necessary sacrifices!"
In Annuo's opinion, if the Supreme God of Time and Space does not come out, then the next step is to kill his own shadow after the conditions are met to achieve the goal.
Of course, Mo Ying thought so too.
"As long as the main body suddenly starts to increase its attack power, I think the conditions will be met. At this time, attack with all your strength and kill the main body, and the Philosopher's Stone will be mine!"
In order to absorb more souls, Annuo and Moying changed battlefields while fighting.
Fight from one realm to another, from the realm of gods to the realm of demons, and then to the underworld.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. While fighting, they tried their best to affect the surroundings and destroy one life after another.
Although Mo Ying is also considered a summoning god, he does not have the protection of [Sacrificial God], so the number of summons he has is only fifty.
However, Mo Ying does not need to absorb other people's souls now.
All the souls that died in this war were prepared for the original body, Anno, for soul upgrading.
After Annuo left with the summoned legion, the god-level dream stealers in the divine world also began to suffer heavy casualties in the battles with the apostles of time and space and the divine punishment army.
The God's Punishment Army had been forced into a desperate situation. They knew that this was their only chance to survive, and every one of them burst out with 120% of their combat power.
The dream stealers were no pushovers either. Victory was right in front of them, and everyone rushed towards the enemy like crazy.
Anyway, once the second generation achieves their goal, they can resurrect everyone.
Even if I die now, I will be able to come back to life again in no time.
With the blessing of this belief, no matter how many casualties the dream thieves suffered, the remaining people had nothing to fear.
However, this requires firm belief in the second generation in one's heart.
For those creatures who do not believe in the second generation, the whole world has now become purgatory.
War, killing, corpses, and blood fill every plane.
There are broken walls and corpses everywhere, plague is spreading, there is no order, and everything is in ruins!
Driven by the Second Generation and the Shadow, no plane is immune to war.
Even during the war, a large number of planes were destroyed.
Whenever he saw countless weak creatures struggling to survive in the intervals between wars, and whenever he went to the destroyed planes to absorb souls, Annuo's heart was touched.
At this time, Annuo could only keep reminding himself in his heart: It doesn't matter, as long as I get the Philosopher's Stone and resurrect Liz, I will resurrect everyone and restore order to the world.
The demon shadow following Anno will constantly taunt Anno.
…
Half a year later, a space vortex suddenly appeared on a plain in Angomlos.
An Nuo, who had just returned from absorbing souls from a destroyed plane, looked back at the demon shadow that was following closely and said in a low voice: "Twenty-three thousand eight hundred and twenty-four!"
"Just this little bit of soul?" A hint of excitement flashed in Mo Ying's eyes.
The war lasted for another half a year, and almost all the god-level strongmen in the world were wiped out.
To put it in an exaggerated way, the number of Annuo's fully-staffed summoned legions is more than the total number of god-level powerhouses in the entire world.
Now, even if the God's Punishment Army and the Dream Stealers put aside their hatred and united all the forces that could be united in the world, they would still not be able to defeat Annuo.
Demon Shadow, who possesses three god-king-level summons, has the ability to challenge the strongest people in the entire world.
"No, twenty-three thousand eight hundred and twenty-four is the number of planes destroyed in the war since I led the Dream Stealers to declare war on the God Realm!"
An Nuo looked up at the sun in the sky and seemed to see countless creatures blaming and cursing him.
"Why, do you regret it?" The demon looked at An Nuo's condition and seemed to have guessed something. A long sword emitting a chill appeared in his hand and he taunted An Nuo, "I will now give you a chance to be freed, upgrade your dimension, complete the Philosopher's Stone, and then be killed by me."
"regret?"
An Nuo turned to look at Mo Ying, his eyes firm as he said, "No, ever since I sensed the magic corridor and laid eyes on the Philosopher's Stone, I have closed my heart and firmly believed that everything I did was right.
I will never regret my actions and decisions since then.
But yeah, I will feel emotional.
I feel sad that the weak in this world will fall into the quagmire of war because of the decision of a strong man.
I feel sad that so many lives died inexplicably...
What I want to say is that in order to achieve my goal, to resurrect Liz, I have killed countless lives directly or indirectly.
Now that you have become an independent individual, you should enjoy the freedom you have gained.
If you continue to stand in my way, death will be waiting for you!"
After saying that, Annuo took out the huge wooden staff he had obtained from Archimonde and used a special formation to pierce it into the void.
Then the wooden stick actually began to grow, but the strange thing was that its roots were at the top and the growing crown was at the bottom.
Through the roots rooted in the void, Anno and Moying both sensed the breath of the magic corridor.
This special tree can connect the world to the Magic Corridor.
"What a big mouth."
Mo Ying closed his eyes, and seemed to be somewhat obsessed with the breath of the magic corridor emanating from it. He didn't care about An Nuo's threat at all. Instead, he smiled sinisterly and said, "Ruling the entire world is my goal, Mo Ying. Anyone who dares to stand in my way will be killed by me!"
Anno did not stop because of the action of the demon shadow. He released the soul absorbed by [Sacrifice to the God].
The densely packed souls were instantly absorbed by the inverted tree crown in the void, and then transformed into a special energy and transmitted to the roots.
