Chapter 99: The Sudden Appearance of a Passage to the Demon Realm

“That is...”

Seeing the evil Saga, stripped of his divinity, the pupils of the fallen angel Lucifer contracted sharply, and then fury blazed forth.

“Die, blasphemer!”

The force Lucifer unleashed crashed straight in.

At that very moment, Feng Zhe had exhausted his old strength, while his new strength had yet to arise.

Then, a golden shield happened to stand before him.

But the golden shield was no match for Lucifer’s overwhelming power and was shattered to dust in an instant.

Even so, the attack was blocked.

Recognizing the person before him, Feng Zhe said in surprise, “Dohko!”

The Dohko before his eyes still wore the appearance of an eighteen-year-old. Turning back with a smile, he revealed his canines.

“Leave the battle below to me!”

Within Dohko’s Libra Gold Cloth lay eighteen weapons. With the goddess’s permission, it was like a mobile armory.

Dohko leaped upward, and his Seventh Sense cosmos instantly drove his power to the limit.

Rozan Hundred Dragon Force!

Countless divine dragons soared across the heavens, weaving through the starry sky like currents of water.

Hmph!

Lucifer threw a punch, and a blinding beam burst forth. That pillar of light collided head-on with the Rozan Hundred Dragon Force.

Feng Zhe also saw clearly at this moment that, after losing the aid of the three gods, Lucifer’s power seemed to be weakening.

In a flash, Feng Zhe appeared on the steps and took Saori into his arms.

Her frail body was soft and fragrant...

Feng Zhe cast aside that strange thought. At the same time, Lucifer noticed him too, and with his right fist sent out a Black Magic Fist.

A vast mass of black miasma surged from that blow. It was power from the demon world, the darkest and most wicked force of all.

Even the slightest touch would plunge one into madness and despair.

Lady Saori swung the Staff of Victory, instantly dispersing the gloom and annihilating the black miasma.

Feng Zhe said to Saori, “Lend me the staff.”

Saori nodded. The moment the staff came into his hand, Feng Zhe turned and hurled it like a javelin.

Saori lent her cosmos to Feng Zhe, and with a force like the sun, that mighty divine power smashed through layer after layer of darkness, and amid Lucifer’s shrieks, pierced his chest.

Feng Zhe shouted once more.

Sacrifice!

Strip away divinity!

Holy fire appeared again within the constellation of the Altar. That immense power descended upon the world and began to burn upon Lucifer.

“Blasphemer! I will not let you succeed!”

Lucifer snorted coldly. He was the King of the Demon Realm, and by nature he could not die. Moreover, with the Staff of Victory striking him and with Athena’s power borrowed through it, he could be sealed back into the demon world and fall into slumber once more.

Just as the stripping of divinity was about to fail, a voice suddenly rang out within the altar space.

[Would you like to spend ten thousand points of faith to forcibly seize divinity?]

“Yes!”

The blazing holy fire suddenly rose with towering crimson radiance, and that brilliance even forcibly suppressed Athena’s power.

Affected by this abrupt change, Lady Saori broke free from Feng Zhe’s hand and stared at him with fearful eyes.

Her lips even murmured, “Blasphemer!”

Lucifer’s miserable screams were burned to ashes by the holy fire.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the divinity of the fallen angel Lucifer!]

With Lucifer’s death, the entire Demon Palace collapsed once more, and the relics of the gods were utterly erased.

When all was over, Athena, the five Bronze Saints, and Dohko once again stood upon the summit to receive the victory that belonged to them.

“Lady Saori, what is a blasphemer?”

Feng Zhe still wanted to understand the whole affair here, so he could not help asking Saori.

After a brief silence, Saori said, “It is said that before the first generation of Saints, there was a group of people who wanted to destroy the gods, believing that if all the gods were destroyed, this world would welcome peace. That group was called blasphemers.”

The war between the blasphemers and the gods ultimately ended in the blasphemers’ defeat.

Suddenly thinking of something, Feng Zhe casually asked, “Were the people of Mu all blasphemers?”

Saori looked at Feng Zhe in surprise, then nodded.

“They possessed a brilliant civilization. Some of them believed in the gods and were willing to cooperate with them, so they forged the eighty-eight Cloths for Athena. The others were... blasphemers!”

“I see.”

Feng Zhe murmured in acknowledgment and looked toward the collapsing Demon Palace.

“I am leaving this place.”

“We will meet again, won’t we?”

Saori smiled faintly and spoke those thoughtful words with quiet solemnity.

The two looked at each other and smiled. By this point, Lady Saori likely already knew that Feng Zhe was not a person of their world.

Only the five Bronze Saints would still think the mysterious chief officiant before them was shrouded in secrecy.

Then, in the sunset, Feng Zhe vanished, completely disappearing from this world.

...

[Final Holy War statistics for the Mirror World node in progress...]

[Sealed the Sea Emperor, the evil goddess Eris, and the soul of the Sun God Abel: S-rank!]

[Defeated the evil Saga and stripped away his divinity: S-rank!]

[Defeated the fallen angel Lucifer and seized his divinity: S-rank!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained all the faith power from this Mirror World node: two hundred thousand!]

Since this was a mission mode, there was no treasure chest for exceeding the objective.

But Feng Zhe did not care. Instead, he brought out four masses of divinity: the divinity of the war god Ares from evil Saga, the divinity of the fallen angel Lucifer, the divinity of Poseidon, and the divinity of Eris, the goddess of strife.

These four masses of divinity differed in size. Lucifer’s divinity was slightly larger, the war god Ares’s next, while Poseidon’s and Eris’s were the smallest.

[Ding! An important choice has appeared!]

[First: sacrifice the four divinities to gain four million points of faith!]

[Second: temporarily store the four divinities in the holy fire and wait until the Host reaches the Ninth Sense before analyzing them!]

Feng Zhe smiled inwardly. He chose neither option, instead saying, “Refine the divinity of the fallen angel Lucifer!”

[Risk warning: the outcome is unpredictable. The main world’s Lucifer may come hunting for you. Host is strongly advised not to refine it!]

Feng Zhe still ignored the altar’s warning and calmly chose to refine it.

[Refining in progress...]

[Risk warning...]

The blood-red characters still failed to stop the process of refining the divinity.

[Ding! Three fragments of the fallen angel Lucifer’s divinity have been obtained. Merge them?]

[It is strongly recommended that the fragments of divinity be placed into the altar...]

Feng Zhe still ignored the altar’s request and chose to merge them directly.

[First fragment of divinity successfully merged. Obtained: mystic art, Demonized Angel; Angel Sword; Sacred Wings; Hymn Chanting!]

[Second fragment of divinity successfully merged. Obtained: Demon Realm Teleportation Passage!]

[Third fragment of divinity successfully merged. Obtained: Demon Realm Faith Collector!]

[Demon Realm Teleportation Passage: allows entry into the Demon Realm’s spacetime. The currently opened Demon Realm worlds include: Death Note, Akame ga Kill, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, A Certain Scientific Railgun, and Inuyasha.]

[Demon Realm Faith Collector: in worlds under the Demon Realm’s jurisdiction, faith can be gathered to complete the accumulation of godhood!]

Feng Zhe was filled with fear, yet there was also a trace of excitement. At last, another spacetime had opened.
