Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Annihilating the City of Angels, Killing a Demigod
A distress signal shot up into the sky.
John felt a bit uneasy. The God of Light was a mid-tier god, and while he had learned from Kamal that the deity was injured, he didn't know the extent of the wounds.
If the God of Light descended, they would definitely not stand a chance.
Even if it wasn't the God of Light, they wouldn't be able to handle any lower-tier god that appeared.
Boom!
Suddenly, the heavens roared, and a powerful aura descended.
John let out a sigh of relief; this aura wasn't very intense and seemed to be from a demigod, likely on par with Elsa.
"Elsa, you betrayed the God of Light, slaughtered angels, and killed Lady Susan-this cannot be forgiven!" A furious shout rang out as a terrifying sword light slashed down from the sky. An eight-winged angel appeared, radiating a powerful aura of light, not weaker than Elsa's. This was a demigod under the God of Light, named Diana.
"Master, leave it to me!" Elsa's fighting spirit surged, her wings unfurling as she shot upward, shattering the sword light and confronting the eight-winged angel head-on.
She looked at her opponent with disdain and coldly said, "Diana, you're just a defeated foe of mine. If it weren't for the God of Light favoring you, do you think you could have become a demigod before me?"
"Hmph, that was in the past; today, you will die!" Diana's rage ignited, and an enormous force of light gathered as she launched her strongest attack at Elsa.
Elsa remained unfazed, equally summoning her most powerful strike. The two collided, unleashing a terrifying surge of energy as they fought fiercely.
John sensed that Diana had just recently advanced to demigod and her power was about on par with Elsa's, so he felt there was no danger.
He turned his focus back to hunting down the nine-tier six-winged angels.
Dark power enveloped him, a massive sword intent swirling around as John fought like a god of war. Demigod-level opponents posed no threat to him.
The angels were in despair, not daring to confront John head-on, and hurriedly fled.
With the arrival of the demigod, the battlefield dynamics had not changed at all.
John's power was unmistakable.
Sini, having fully integrated the treasures of the demon race, had significantly boosted her strength, allowing her to barely contend with a seventh-tier two-winged angel.
Sara, Bonnie, Behemoth, and Black Turtle, four eight-tier powerhouses, targeted the eight- tier four-winged angels exclusively.
The most formidable force remained the angel army under Elsa, and with the Divine Path Technique neutralizing threats, they fought without worry.
Angels fell one by one, and the experience of a few soared, growing bolder with each battle.
However, the angel army of the City of Angels was in despair; some angels had even quietly escaped the City of Angels.
[You killed a level 7000 six-winged angel, gaining 1.2 billion experience points.] [Plunder talent activated: Divinity +5, Light Elemental Affinity +5, Luck +1, Spirit +100.]
[You successfully killed 90 nine-tier legendary bosses; the Wrath of the Gods talent has leveled up, reducing the consumption of magic and spiritual power by 90%.]
[Next-level upgrade condition for Wrath of the Gods talent: Kill 10 demigod-level or higher beings.]
...
Enhancement notifications flickered; John had successfully slain 90 six-winged angels, and the Wrath of the Gods talent upgraded once more.
Skill consumption was reduced by 90%.
With a 90% cooldown reduction on skills, he could unleash skill attacks continuously.
What excited him the most was that the Wrath of the Gods talent could continue to level up. However, the conditions were somewhat demanding: kill 10 demigod-level or higher beings. This was not an impossible task for him.
He set his sights on the eight-winged angel battling Elsa.
At that moment, both were somewhat disheveled; they were both newly advanced demigods, unable to gain the upper hand over each other.
In fact, Diana seemed to possess slightly greater strength.
"Elsa, I'm here to help you!" John called out, activating Sword Flight and charging forward.
"Seeking death!" Diana scoffed, abandoning Elsa to attack John instead.
"Master, be careful; this one is a bit powerful," Elsa warned, though she wasn't worried.
If John could take down Susan, he could certainly handle this one without issue.
Whoosh!
In an instant, his figure vanished, activating Dance of the Void and Unrivaled Sword Dance simultaneously, cold light flickering as it enveloped the rushing Diana.
Thud!
-767410 -764100
...
A series of damage numbers flashed, all true damage.
"Hmph, I thought you were stronger. You're not that impressive!" Diana sneered. Although she was surprised by John's strength, the thought of him defeating her was undoubtedly a
fantasy.
Just as she was preparing to counterattack, a sword light flickered, and John's attack fell
again.
Demon Slayer Slash!
Boom!
-85400
A pathetic true damage number floated up. Diana, initially dismissive, was about to mock him when she was suddenly stunned.
Boom, boom...
Thunderous roars echoed as John's attacks rained down like a storm.
"Bastard, get away!" Diana snapped back to her senses. Holy Light enveloped her, instantly freeing her from the stun. In a swift motion, she unleashed a sword light that directly
obliterated John.
[You were killed by the demigod Diana; the Undying and Immortal talent triggered, allowing
you to resurrect at the same spot.]
"Master, are you alright?" Elsa hurriedly pushed Diana back and looked at John, her
expression filled with concern.
"I'm fine." He shook his head, though his face was somewhat pale.
Last time, John had died too many times while dealing with Susan, and he had not fully
recovered yet.
If he died again, it could cause irreversible damage to his soul.
"Elsa, help me hold her down," John instructed, handing the Divine Binding Rope to Elsa.
"Got it!" she replied confidently, taking the Divine Binding Rope.
Whoosh!
The Divine Binding Rope flew out, instantly enlarging and tightly wrapping around Diana.
"This is bad!" Diana's face went pale. With Elsa having advanced to demigod status, the power of the Divine Binding Rope had greatly increased, and she found it impossible to break
free.
Next came a howling wind and a humming sword intent.
A flurry of light and dark magic, along with sword skills, descended upon Diana, unleashing a
furious barrage.
She struggled helplessly, her health rapidly depleting, but she was bound by the Divine
Binding Rope and unable to escape.
"Bastard!" she cursed, panic flooding her mind. "Elsa, do you really want to oppose the gods? Do you really think this weak human can stand against powerful gods?"
Elsa scoffed, "I don't know if I can fight the gods, but killing you will be a piece of cake!"
Boom!
Diana was blasted away again, her feathers falling, blood splattered everywhere, completely
defenseless.
At this point, her health had dropped below one hundred million, and she couldn't withstand
much more punishment.
"Die!" John's cold voice echoed as he cast Dark Descent, unleashing a storm of magic.
Despair washed over Diana as she roared, "Elsa, you made a grave mistake! No race would
allow a powerful Immortal to live. You're doomed!"
Her voice cut off abruptly as John struck her down.
[You killed a demigod; you gained 6.76 billion experience points.]
[Your level has increased to 1075...]
[Plunder talent activated: Divinity +10, The Law of Light comprehension +1%, magic critical
hit +10, skill points +50, spirit +200.]
...
Notification messages flashed as John plundered a wealth of attributes.
The most extravagant was a direct increase of 1% in The Law of Light comprehension.
His comprehension of The Law of Light had reached 22%, surpassing Elsa.
Diana also dropped a large number of items: skill stones, equipment enhancement stones,
and a mid-level talent upgrade stone.
In addition, there was a mid-grade artifact, the Holy Light Necklace, which increased Light
Elemental Affinity.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It wasn't suitable for John, so he handed it directly to Elsa.
"Thank you, Master!" Elsa exclaimed, overjoyed. Artifacts were rare for demigods, especially
mid-grade and high-grade ones.
Her Divine Binding Rope had been acquired by chance and was something she treasured
greatly. "Let's end this quickly and finish off the remaining angels so we can return," John ordered. He didn't dare linger for too long, fearing the arrival of more powerful deities.
Elsa joined the battlefield, ruthlessly slaughtering. When dealing with these angels, she was
like a force of nature.
Soon, the angelic army of the City of Angels was almost completely wiped out. Apart from a
few angels who managed to escape, all were slain.
Sini led the team to clean up the battlefield. With the Divine Path activated, the drop rate for boss-level items increased.
Especially with John's Plunder talent in play, he reaped a significant number of low-grade
artifacts.
Before long, the battlefield was cleared, and John and the others left the City of Angels. He had initially wanted to take the Rebirth Pool of the City of Angels. However, that spring was connected to the City of Angels, making it impossible for Death
Land to refine it.
Moreover, since Death Land had opened to the outside, deities could descend at any time,
forcing him to give up on that idea.
...
As the group retreated, the once bright and holy City of Angels had become a dead city.
Bodies were piled high, and rivers of blood flowed.
A four-winged angel crawled out from the mound of corpses, staring at the scene before her
in horror as she swallowed hard.
If John were there, he would certainly recognize her; she was Amy, the one who had greeted
him.
"He's not an angel, but a human..." Amy murmured to herself, casting one last glance at the
City of Angels before fleeing.
This matter was too serious; her low status meant she couldn't meet the God of Light, and she
had no desire to get involved.
...
In the world of the Gods, deep within the Eternal Forest, lay an expanse of void.
A spring bubbled and flowed, emanating a powerful life force and spiritual power.
This was the Elven Spring.
Around it sat several figures in meditation, including angels, Dark Humans, and Orcs, all radiating immense power; without exception, they were all divine beings. The God of Light was among them.
"Hmm?" At that moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, a boundless fury rising within him.
He shouted, "My Lord, my City of Angels has been slaughtered!" "The City of Angels has been destroyed? Who did it?" asked a bald man nearby, puzzled.
"That human!" The God of Light gritted his teeth, gazing at the empty throne in the distance,
and continued, "My Lord, you must avenge me; my daughter was killed by him."
Whoosh!
A shadow slowly took form upon the throne.
"You useless fool!" the figure seethed, glaring at the God of Light, killing intent radiating
from him. "This is all your own doing. If you hadn't lost the Death Worm's Nest, would this
have happened?"
The God of Light bowed his head in fear, not daring to speak further.
