"This is...? Impossible!" The wizard stared at the staff in Jiang Yan's hand and suddenly screamed, his voice no longer hoarse: "You clearly have the Seed of the Holy Light type of the True God, how could you possess a top-level artifact of the Undead type?"
"What's so strange about that?" Jiang Yan smiled faintly, a surge of magic merging into the natural disaster: "As the new Emperor of the Undead, it's perfectly reasonable for me to possess a necromantic artifact, isn't it?"
"No, this is not fair!"
“Maybe if it were a different lord, like that guy who only knows how to flaunt his wealth, you might have won. Unfortunately for you, you ran into me.” Jiang Yan returned the words verbatim, pointing his staff at the other party.
Upon hearing the familiar words, the wizard's expression changed drastically, and he barely managed to conjure a blood mist shield: "Wait..."
Two fist-thick black bolts of lightning shot out from the top of the "Calamity," instantly shattering the blood mist and striking the Abyss Wizard heavily.
A Death Finger enhanced fivefold!
The wizard who was synchronized to the Silver Rank didn't even have a chance to struggle; his entire body, including his head, was instantly reduced to dust by the powerful force of death.
It died.
A translucent, crystalline token and a deep blue scroll appeared on the spot.
Diamond Advancement Token and Blueprint Evolution Scroll (Legendary).
Jiang Yan recognized the two priceless treasures at a glance.
Unlike the common items of the previous levels, Diamond Advancement Tokens only have a chance to drop when killing beings of demigod level or above.
Not only lords, but also a large number of professionals need it to advance to demigod status, making it completely in short supply on the market.
Many powerful forces even use diamond advancement tokens to win over and recruit geniuses.
The latter, needless to say, can upgrade an epic blueprint to legendary level, and is also a treasure he desperately needs.
He never expected that this demigod of the abyss would give him such a great gift.
Jiang Yan stepped forward and put away the two items, his smile widening.
Suddenly, the space rippled.
[Due to the death of one of the parties, the space of absolute fairness is about to end. You will return to your original world in three seconds.]
As the prompts came to my ears, the space in front of me shattered like a broken mirror, and the surrounding scenery blurred until it returned to the state it had before I entered.
Jiang Yan reappeared on the city wall.
Not far away in the air, the wizard's body, who was staring at him, was blown away by a gust of wind and disappeared into the air like flying sand.
Everyone was stunned.
The space for absolute fairness is not synchronized with the outside world.
In their eyes, the two merely exchanged a glance, and the powerful abyss demigod was dead, leaving not even a trace behind.
This shock was far greater than the effect of a three-person attack.
They suddenly remembered the fate of that powerful fusion demon not long ago, and exchanged a glance with it.
"Evil spirits cannot look directly at the gods; their only fate is death." The crowd murmured, gaining a new understanding of the meaning of this statement.
On the battlefield, the voices grew louder and louder until they became unified, and everyone became increasingly devout.
Jiang Yan, unaware of what was happening, subconsciously maintained a faint smile, standing atop the city wall, appearing like a true god descending amidst the praise of thousands.
[The herald of a powerful civilization from the Lost Myths, Archangel Annalia, the fallen dragon Aberystwyrm, the demigod Adun Hammank of the Duchy of Hammank, and numerous mortal soldiers witnessed your ability to instantly kill the evil demigod of the Abyss.]
[Your divine spell has completed one of its fundamental elements: Edict.]
Once you fulfill the remaining two requirements—faith and divine status—you will gain the exclusive divine spell: "Deities cannot be looked at directly."
Three consecutive notifications appeared on the record panel of "All Realms," causing Jiang Yan's heart to surge with shock.
A casual remark made earlier, through a series of coincidences, actually evolved into a divine spell?
Incredible.
He suddenly remembered the archangel phantom he had summoned before; that twelve-winged angel had killed the powerful abyssal beast with just a glance.
If this divine technique that makes it "unbearable to look directly at the gods" is completed in the future, wouldn't we be invincible!
Look at others, they're dead.
Others will see you, or him dead.
"Holy Lord, are you alright?" Analia flew back to the city wall at some point, looking at Jiang Yan with worried eyes.
Even with her bond with the Holy Light, she could still clearly sense that the other party seemed to have disappeared for a moment.
"Of course, how could a mere abyssal evil spirit shake the majesty of the Holy Light?" Jiang Yan said with a smile, regaining his senses.
He didn't intend to tell anyone, otherwise this stubborn little angel would start blaming herself and feeling sad again.
“That’s natural; evil spirits are always so overconfident.” Analia nodded in deep agreement.
"Holy Lord." Adon also flew back. This demigod from the Duchy of Hammank seemed exceptionally happy, his old face beaming with joy.
According to the ancient prophecies passed down through the ages in this land, only the true God can lead them to victory over the abyss.
Dozens of his ancestors perished together with the monsters of the abyss in similar cycles of reincarnation.
Now, he has finally met the true god of prophecy, breaking free from the fate of death, and feels completely relieved.
Seeing this, the general stepped forward and asked:
"Gods, ancestors, what do we do next? Should we stay here until the abyss riots end?"
"Defend? No." Jiang Yan looked out of the city, where a new wave of monsters was rapidly approaching from afar.
However, most of them were first-tier monsters, and their numbers were far fewer than at the beginning, seemingly because the arrival of the demigods had consumed most of their energy.
—These are all soul crystals and experience points that have been delivered to your doorstep in a queue.
“Now, it’s time for us to counterattack.” Jiang Yan’s eyes turned slightly cold: “Anna, lead the Angel Legion, don’t let a single one escape.”
"We obey the divine decree, Holy Lord."
Hundreds of angels did not hesitate to flap their wings and meet the remaining Abyss Legion.
Where faith resides, the holy light shines eternally.
Eight divine angels chanted simultaneously, and a radiant phantom slowly rose, its gentle holy light spreading across every corner of the battlefield, leaving no shadow untouched.
At this moment, the night was as bright as day.
The remaining hundreds of angels formed a battle formation, and the "Holy Light Judgment," tens of meters long, swept across the battlefield, causing the leaderless demons to fall in droves.
"Gods, may we go up too?" the general asked, somewhat eager to try.
“Of course, the Abyss is the enemy of all living beings.” Jiang Yan nodded in agreement, since experience was shared in battlefield mode anyway.
The frenzied slaughter lasted for a day and a night. In the end, even Adun and Yabolik joined the battle. The corpses of all kinds of monsters covered the area for tens of kilometers outside the city, and even the land was stained dark green with blood.
Jiang Yan's body flashed with golden light, signifying his upgrade. He looked at the rapidly scrolling messages on the "All Realms" record panel and couldn't help but smile.
You have gained 170,000 Soul Crystals and 1,000,000 Experience Points.
You have advanced to Silver Rank 9.
