Chapter 608: Retaliation of the Dark God

The dark god, Nyarlathotep, has no choice but to hasten the appearance of his domain. Even though the dark god has yet to fully destroy the seal that is place on it, the dark god needs to use its incomplete domain.

The plan of the dark god is to fully spread its domain in the imperial capital so that it will have enough strength to destroy the seal. This plan would make the dark god have less backlash as the seal will be difficult to destroy since numerous gods created it despite the fact that their influence is not that strong in the mortal realm.

The dark god hasten its plan as it started to use its domain earlier than it expected. A weakened god will have trouble fighting demigods if it does not raise its domain or 'godly territory'. The dark god, Nyarlathotep, could only see the demigods as offerings it would use to break the seal that is placed on it.

The dark god emitted a screech so loud and ear piercing that even those outside of the imperial capital had to cover their ears. The dark god plunged its tentacles on the ground and channeled its energy towards it.

The imperial capital that is full of rubble started to change in appearance. Amidst the rubble, flesh and muscle like nerves sprouted from below that pulsed in an eerie red and green light. The faceless one that are inside of the imperial capital started to rejoice and utter praises that they did not even bother dodging the attacks that are aimed at them.

The system notification that they received could not be worse as it made the numerous enemies become sturdier. It also gave the enemies a chance to execute their opponents given that a number of stacks be affecting them. 

The cautious players even became more as they do not want to resurrect continuously and die continuously to an opponent. They also fear the account deletion notification if they die multiple times to dark gods. It seems that the dark god that descended has a special appetite for souls.

"Go and give me their souls, my loyal followers. I will use their souls to fuel my complete resurrection!" The dark god, Nyarlathotep, commanded.

The faceless ones that are previously flesh colored change in appearance. They now look bulkier while veins popped out of their body and their flesh-colored skin became red. It seems that the dark god has initiated some sort of berserk status effects to his followers.

The newly buffed faceless ones became more aggressive as they wanted to give their god an offering that is suitable for its almighty figure. The faceless ones are now thinking to offer every soul in the imperial capital. 

"For the glory of our almighty god!" The faceless ones thought which is interpreted by the metamorph.

"To think that the simple provocation made the dark god panic and use its power to influence its followers. What else can you pick up?" Adrian asked as he is talking to Imiter, the only person that can interpret what the dark god is spouting.

"Nothing more. It seems that the dark god has cut off all the faceless ones from its brain as it needed them to be feral animals. All I could pick up is 'kill and offer their souls' being chanted continuously. I am sorry that I am not much help." Imiter stated as he slumped his shoulders, but Adrian patted his back.

"You do not need to worry since you already told us the plans of the dark god. Thankfully, it has yet to break the seal since it got distracted and used most of its power defending. We can win but we just need to be smart about our plays." Adrian stated as he looked at the distance.

The demons are already preparing the portal that connect to the imperial capital since Ascalor told them to move. The signal of the march would be the numerous meteors that rained on the dark god. They wanted to directly teleport to the imperial capital, but it became the domain of the dark god.

Inside the domain of a dark god, spatial lock is employed as the dark god seemed wary of other demons coming. The portal had to be connected just outside the walls of the imperial capital but that is not a bad option which is why they went with it.

"I will fight too. Can I join your party?" Lime asked Adrian as she could clearly see that he is the de facto leader of the group. 

Lime could not believe that one friend group actually monopolized the change to other races. Even she is tempted to become another race, but she must be human in order to qualify as the True Saint since that is the main condition of her job class.

"Do you guys mind if she joins? I believe that she will be a big help to the fight against the dark god." Adrian asked his team members, and no one disagreed.

"Welcome to the party then." Adrian stated.

[Lime has been added to the party.]
