The three deities of the main world rapidly channeled their Divine Power.
The small hammer transformed into a streak of light, like a meteor, hurtling toward the protective shield!
In comparison to the massive size of the shield, the hammer seemed as insignificant as a grain of dust. Yet, when this tiny particle struck the shield, it easily shattered the barrier formed by the powers of the two divine-level demons—splitting and breaking apart!
With a sharp bang, the entire shield dissipated into the air!
All that was left were the two divine-level demons, staring in disbelief.
They were utterly stunned.
Had the three deities of the main world really prepared so thoroughly?
The divine-level demons were unaware that the main world was facing an even more severe impact from the impending catastrophe, as each layer of hell contained only one divine-level entity.
Despite the hardship of the calamity, the divine-level demons still had a chance to survive.
But the main world was grappling with disasters unleashed upon each Crystal Barrier Galaxy. On Alpha 8, there were powerful beings above the weak Divine Power threshold, and it was these beings that heightened the difficulty of the calamity, forcing the weak Divine Power deities to find ways to boost their combat strength.
Otherwise, they would be waiting for death!
"Let's fight them!"
Rog gritted his teeth and took the initiative to soar into the sky.
Licitris had no choice but to hold Mephistopheles tightly and charge upward.
Suddenly, five beams of Iridescent-level light illuminated the sky, symbolizing the unfolding scroll of eternal night. A fine web of mirrored energy enveloped the sun, moon, and earth, while ashen-colored energy rain fell from the heavens like droplets!
The oppression from the deities of the main world came in relentless waves.
Rog summoned the Mist Dragon once more, while Licitris conjured a massive scythe in her hand.
However, the outcome of the battle was evident from the very beginning.
The Smoke Dragon was gradually sliced apart within the scroll, firmly trapped, as Iridescent-level abilities were not so easily countered. The disintegrated Smoke Dragon turned into countless small streams of power, but they were still shattered by the endless barrage of light projectiles raining down from the sky!
The scythe summoned by the Succubus Queen seemed to carry some strange power; when it cut through, it could obliterate everything around it...
Including energy, skills, and even abstract concepts like laws.
Licitris flicked her wrist, transforming the scythe into a disk that shattered the scroll of eternal night!
However, despite the scythe's formidable power, the energy consumption was immense.
Sterl could clearly sense that Licitris was wavering, seemingly falling into a state of weakness. Yet, the Succubus Queen's sudden burst of action made him grit his teeth; the sensation was overwhelmingly intense...
Thus—
Faced with the constricting energy net and the barrage of light projectiles, the Succubus Queen ultimately managed to destroy only two-thirds of the scroll before she was spent.
The scythe faded into nothingness...
Yet Licitris remained unfazed, letting out a tinkling laugh and seductively saying,
"Why must you be so rough? I'm just a fragile little girl..."
Before her words could finish, the Succubus Queen quickly retreated!
In her previous position, dozens of golden light swords plunged down, only to shatter and transform into a rapid downpour of smaller swords.
Meanwhile, the Ashen deity slowly retracted the scroll, which contained an Iridescent-Level ability—purely a killing technique.
Clearly, that last attack had been his doing.
If Licitris hadn't reacted in time, she would have been torn to shreds!
The two divine-level demons wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, but they found themselves unable to control their own bodies.
In the first second,
the sky was clear and bright.
In the second second, everything was stained crimson.
It seemed as if some voice was wailing in agony, much like when he witnessed the fall of a deity before. Tears flowed uncontrollably as he fell into profound sorrow.
But this time, it wasn't just him; the five divine-level beings present also appeared tormented, seemingly on the verge of tears, engulfed in immense grief.
Finally, two whirlpools emerged in the blood-red sky, and within them, a space could be faintly seen, swept away by a strange black tide.
Just gazing at it sent shivers down one's spine.
Unlike the five divine-level beings who trembled in fear, Sterl felt an inexplicable warmth and sense of reassurance, with a certain power rapidly surging within him.
"This is...?"
He suddenly thought of a possibility.
But before Sterl could contemplate further,
two colossal figures plummeted from the sky, like two tattered sacks.
They seemed to carry some strange energy, rendering their forms indistinct; yet, everyone who witnessed them felt certain they were embodiments of beauty and power.
Sterl's heart skipped a beat.
Although their sizes had multiplied immensely, wasn't that just the silhouettes from the upper realms?
But their appearances seemed to suggest...
they were dead??
Their chests and bellies were gaping open, countless black maggots gnawing at their flesh and blood.
Yet, Sterl strangely noticed that the chests of the two figures still subtly rose and fell, as if they were still alive.
Then...
As some energy dissipated, the silhouettes gradually revealed their true forms: a pair of remarkably similar twins, one male and one female.
At this moment, the faces of the three main world deities changed drastically.
"How could the two esteemed ones fall from the upper realms?"
"What on earth happened?"
"Isn't it said that death does not exist in the upper realms?"
"And what are those maggots??"
They were still in a state of forced control, compelled to watch the two figures and unable to act.
Licitris and Rog, too, were unable to escape; the sight sent chills down their spines.
Demons also harbored the desire to ascend to the upper realms.
That meant greater power and eternal life—who wouldn't want that?
But now, it was a blatant slap in the face!
The two figures they had previously watched return to the upper realms were now back, and in a near-death state at that. What had happened?
And what were those black maggots?
