Chapter 825 - King Of Twilight I

The defeat of the Unbound Black Frost Fenrir came at the cost of the death of half the contestants. The moment he was defeated, the area exploded with darkness and ice. The casualty of the players would not have been that big if the last spell did not get cast.

The last altar giving power to the central altar finally shattered and all monsters have been killed. Even the resurrection of the Sunburst Yatagarasu is putto a halt as its siblings is already defeated. The soul of the Unbound Black Frost Fenrir went towards the main altar as well and it was a black light covered in a frosty aura.

The moment all the souls of the six monsters gathered in the altar. The crumbled parts of the other altars suddenly clumped together and filled the gap between the altars. The barrier that protected the central altar also shattered as the protection that the other five altars finally waived.

"It is finally time! I just need to get a good enough performance to earn the best rewards." Adrian muttered to himself as the grand Advent of the King will finally happen.

"Did we win already?" one of the players asked as there was no new enemy appearing.

All they could see is the progress bar of the King of Twilight has stopped at 53% as they managed to defeat all the monsters when that was the progress. Some thought it was over, but the others gaze is now focused on the six spinning balls of light on top of the central altar.

All six of the souls suddenly started rotating faster until they emitted a light that could be seen as two halos that has golden inner ring and an outer ring made of pure darkness. As soon as the two halos appeared, a magic circle appeared at the center of the altar.

The contestants could not move as a great deal of energy is being rained down on their bodies. Some who were not that great in controlling the mana from the surroundings even kneeled down due to the pressure.

"I, who have been forgotten, shall rise once more." A voice that is both melodious and deep resonated in the altar.

The magic circle suddenly shone bright as an entity started to rise up from the altar. The entity is covered by a thick mana of light and darkness that his silhouette is only made by those elements. As soon as the players noticed the entity rising from the magic circle, they felt a suffocating force grasp their hearts.

All of them regardless of how well they endured the suffocating energy all kneeled due to the pain. The entity then looked at them and waved his hand nonchalantly. A wave of energy containing light and darkness elements swept across all the challengers.

The wave of energy that swept across them immediately killed all the participants which shocked the audience. All of the participants got killed with just a simple flick of the hand. A simple release of energy from what could be called as stretching out as the King of Twilight has just been unsealed.

"Finally, those ants have finally been dealt with. That will be your punishment for killing my family." The King of Twilight, Hay-lale stated with his melodious and deep voice that reverberated all throughout the altar.

"My precious family. You might have been slain because you sent your energy to me, but your revival would not last long once I regained my divinity. Rest in the confounds of my soul for the time being." The King of Twilight Hay-lale stated as he suddenly noticed that the dead ants that he exterminated started to come alive once again.

His blessed monsters just shed their physical bodies, but their souls are safe in the confounds of his soul. They will just need to recover their physical bodies as they were given parts of his soul. In a sense, the six monsters are actually part of the King of Twilight Hay-lale which is why they can unseal him from the prison that he Gods of Pandemonium created.

When the bodies of the players are revived once again, the King of Twilight Hay-lale flicked his hand once again and sent another energy wave to kill them but rays of light shot down towards the heavens. The rays of light formed a barrier that protected the players from dying immediately once again.

"So, all of you finally revealed yourselves. It is a shame that none of you could descend in this world as you stuck ups do not want to sacrifice your divinity. If you really wanted to kill me then come down from your divine realms and deal with me yourselves.

These ants before me can never compete with me. They are not enough even if there are a hundred of them." The King of Twilight Hay-lale stated with his voice that is filled with rage and indignation.

The King of Twilight Hay-lale increased the input of the elemental energy wave and attempted to destroy the barrier protecting the players. He wanted the gods and goddesses to descend so that he can kill them himself. They must pay for the sin of stripping him of his divinity and killing the gods that dared to plot against him.

"Defeat him! Brave Warriors! The dark god must never survive." The Goddess of Light Luminaria stated with her voice that sounded like a beautiful choir but the King of Twilight Hay-lale looked like he is about to puke.

The Gods of Pandemonium then gave their blessings towards the players once again. This time they released them from all the status ailments and status debuffs that are affecting them. All of their cooldowns are even refreshed but this also took a toll on the gods. They can no longer send their blessings as they gave their protection to all the players.

The gods then vanished as they can no longer maintain the connection to the world of Megiddo. The King of Twilight Hay-lale could see that the gods are really bent on destroying him, but they do not want to get dirty themselves.

"I might have been sealed for a long time as I did not remember a race of beings that can revive. Has the Goddess of Life and the God of Death broke their rules? It seems that you may be beings that are the same as those that live back then but your souls are different.

All of you smell like the first beings but more like just lingering scent scattered in the wind. None of you smell pure as if you are just broken up fragments that got revived. The Goddess of Life and the God of Death could do that at the very least." The King of Twilight Hay-lale stated as the players are still not attacking since the barrier is still holding on.

"You are a dark god! So how do you know about the abilities of the Goddess of Life and the God of Death?" Anastacia asked as she is curious since she is the Envoy of Life.

"Ah. The Envoy of Life is with you, and someone blessed by the God of Death as well. What have those foolish group of gods told you? Me…a dark god? Laughable! I was born after the primordial gods have been born. I am older than the gods that have blessed you and I am eternal." The King of Twilight Hay-lale stated.

"Seriously, this dialogue is making me feel things. I will just let the AI control the dialogue." Adrian thought as he thought that the script is a bit cringy.

"You all are proud that you could revive but that does not mean I can never counter that." The King of Twilight Hay-lale stated as he started to summon something.

The thick elemental energies that created a silhouette of his body started to gather. The King of Twilight Hay-lale lifted both of his hands and the light and dark energies compressed into a floating orb. The floating orb is actually a small black sun that is the size of a basketball.

The black sun is then surrounded by the two halos of gold and pure darkness. The weapon of the King of Twilight Hay-lale has finally fully manifested and it freely floated around him. This is the weapon called Silim which is a divine weapon that has been forged by the King of Twilight Hay-lale upon his manifestation in the universe.

With the thick energy of light and darkness no longer covering the King of Twilight Hay-lale, the players could now see what he truly looks like. A robe that is more magnificent than a king with a color palette of white and black that truly symbolized harmony of light and darkness. Long silver hair that freely slowed in the wind, but his face is being blocked by a visor.

When the players saw what the King of Twilight Hay-lale really looked like, they are even doubting that a dark god would actually look so elegant and divine.. With a snap of his fingers, the King of Twilight Hay-lale created twenty magic circles that got applied on the barrier created by the gods.
