Chapter 1974: Chapter 1974. Desire



Fear had sensed the power of the divine even before he turned back. He just didn't believe it. He knew the remaining divines were all here. When he saw Master is the one behind him, it was as if proving his skepticism. No way this outworlder was a divine being. Master probably possessed something that exuded divine power, like those divine treasures Master had pursued so passionately.

That's why he failed to react even when he sensed an energy spike from Master. Combined with the fact that his energy was still merged with Wrath and Greed in locking down Lucifer, The failed to react when Master shoved a hand toward him.

A blast erupted following that shove. That blast was so powerful it threw Fear forward. Due to the blast, Fear's energy link with Wrath and Greed was severed. A violent backlash of energy struck the three. The obstructive veil covering Lucifer was gone.

Feeling that nothing was hindering him anymore, Lucifer exploded with a formidable aura. His six colorful wings and three halos shone brightly. The force pressing down on Pride multiplied.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Pride didn't back down. He also pumped his energy. He sucked all the energies released by Serenity and Love like a siphon. In this state, he could draw their powers even without their consent. Serenity and Love felt their essences weakening as Pride forcefully extracted their energies. They were powerless to stop it even if they wanted to.

The light from Lucifer and Pride intensified until they were as if two suns. These two suns were in close range. It was inevitable they collided as they grew exponentially. Their collision resulted in a detonation that covered the entire region they were in. The monsters that thought they had fled far enough didn't know what happened when this explosion hit them. They vaporized on the spot.

The shockwave of the explosion traveled the entire world. Even on the opposite side of the planet from where the battle was happening, an earthquake occurred, and the winds from the explosion reached there. The winds, which had traveled the entire world, converged and formed a massive hurricane.

When the explosion subsided, the only living things in the region were the eight divine beings.

"I will not lose!" Pride exclaimed.

His body was still shining brightly. His two fists became meteors as they stormed at Lucifer. These meteors slammed into a multicolor wall formed of energy waves produced by Lucifer. The meteors and waves continued to counteract one another.

Pride never stopped shouting as he pressed on his assault. "I will take you down! You will witness my pride as the protector of the upperworld! I will let no devil roam this world! In the name of pride, I will...!"

His rave abruptly stopped, and so did his motion. The light that was shining from his body died down. Without the light covering him, everyone saw that his appearance had changed drastically. The armor that covered his entire body had lost all luminance. Its color became pale grey, and no spots were without cracks.

Pride's arm was in the middle of a punching motion when this happened. This punch continued due to momentum even after it lost all energy. The punch stopped when it hit Lucifer's open palm.

"Hehe," Lucifer chuckled after seeing his opponent's state.

Another energy wave erupted from his palm. This blast hit Pride without any resistance. Pride's body broke apart from the blast. The broken pieces of his body slowly dissolved and turned into dust, which blew away with the wind.

"Hahaha! HAHAHA!! Die, you pathetic fool!" Lucifer went into crazed laughter. "You are pride? What a joke! I am the true pride!! The greatest of all sins!!! You are nothing but a fake! A pretense! To have you masquerading as the good one is the biggest joke I ever heard...!"

Lucifer's laughter went on for a while. When he finally stopped, he looked around at his surroundings. Six divine beings; five upperworld Gods and one newcomer. He knew the newcomer. It was the outworlder who activated the main underworld portal. The same outworlder from the group who betrayed his underworld forces. Yet, this outworlder now helped him face the upperworld Gods.

He slammed into a multicolor wall that suddenly appeared before him. Before he could regain balance, a multicolor beam crashed into him from behind. The beam revealed itself to be Lucifer, now grabbing the back of Fear's head. He was squeezing Fear's head into the

multicolor wall.

"Ple-Please... Spare me...," Fear said weakly.

"Hahaha! HAHAHA!!" Lucifer laughed instead of saying anything.

The pressure he exerted intensified. Colorful waves again radiated from him, banging into Fear, who was pinned by the multicolor wall. The pressure pained even a divine being like Fear. His pained cries echoed into the distance.

Greed and the others couldn't just stand and watch. Unlike Fear, they had no intention to flee despite the impossible situation. The four rushed forward, but one of them was interrupted. Something came from above and slammed into Wrath, who was at the forefront.

"You!" Wrath saw it was Master. "You wretched snake! I should have ended you when I had

the chance!"

"You should," Master returned.

The others continued onward. Fear was in a more dire need of help. Lucifer saw their

approach. With one hand still on Fear, he swung his other arm. The swing generated a multicolor wave. The three Gods used their powers to face the incoming wave. But when they collided with the wave, they were thrown back. They were severely weakened from

exhaustion.

Without interruption, Lucifer pressed on.

"AAAHHHH...!!!" Fear's pained cry turned into a wail.

Lucifer didn't let up. He never even stopped laughing. These two days of protracted battle had

been extremely frustrating. He was releasing all the tensions that had built up. He was taking out his frustration on poor Fear, who was helpless to resist.

Fear's wail finally stopped when light started pouring out of his eyes and mouth. His body

burst apart in one brutal explosion.

Lucifer finally stopped laughing. He turned back. Only four upperworld Gods were left. He had returned to his calm expression. However, the glint in his eyes still showed some lunacy.
