The Era of Gods Chapter 656

Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Destruction of the Nightmare Base and Capturing a Big Fish

The holy light from the multitude of Cave People Angels merged into one, so numerous and concentrated that it descended upon them like the sun.

The warning came too late; many Children of Nightmare within the base, or those incarnated as Demons, were caught off guard when the Cave People Angel Corps was already closing in on the base and starting their attack.

The Cave People Angel Lin Xiao had not been specifically altered; their individual strength was not very strong, and they were adept at close combat and long-range attacks using Holy Light Bullets.

A single Holy Light Bullet was not particularly powerful, but when tens of millions were fired simultaneously, the endless barrage was like a tsunami, hitting the base which floated in the Void. The base shifted out of its original position, and the defensive barrier that had just been raised was shattered within a breath as the holy light, like a tidal wave, engulfed the base.

The next second, a thunderous roar of rage erupted from inside the base:

“Master of Magic!”

Sky-high demonic flames gushed forth, engulfing wide swathes of holy light, accompanied by a terrifying Demon, its huge figure mountainous with flames erupting from its body. Lava flowed across its surface; a pair of curved horns spiraled upward, between which a deep flame trembled violently, as if about to explode at any moment.

“Lord of Magma, ruler of the hundred and thirty-sixth floor of the Bottomless Abyss–the Heart of Magma!”

Lin Xiao instantly recognized this famous powerhouse among the Children of Nightmare.

In the Bottomless Abyss, only those with strength equivalent to Medium Divine Power and who ruled an entire layer were worthy of the title of Lord, or Demon King.

The number of Demon Kings was small; in the Bottomless Abyss, which had only eight or nine hundred layers, there were only a dozen or so, but each was a well-known and named force to be reckoned with.

The Children of Nightmare walked the path of Demons, and so far two Demon Lords had been confirmed: one being the King of Toxicity, ruler of the Poisonous Tide layer, and the other was the Lord of Magma presently before them, from the Heart of Magma layer.

The King of Toxicity usually stayed within the Abyss and seldom emerged, whereas the Lord of Magma was relatively more active, often sending minions to various planes to plunder souls. Previously, during the internal strife following the fall of the Magic God, the Lord of Magma personally appeared and led a great Demon army to invade the Magic God's God Country, and managed to plunder a large number of Prayers.

Seeing the Lord of Magma, one of the mighty Demon Kings, in the base, Lin Xiao's eyes obviously brightened, and he spoke to himself with some delight:

“I was expecting the process to be uneventful, but it seems I might catch a big fish!”

The avatar of the God of War and Victory, Russia, also smiled and said:

“Main God, allow me to intercept Him and prevent His escape.”

Lin Xiao nodded:

“All three avatars together, after all, it's a True Body.”

Russia nodded in agreement. Three avatars stepped forward, transforming into three streaks of golden light rushing towards the Nightmare base.

Lin Xiao was not worried about the battle situation at all. This was just a minor outpost base within the Crystal Wall System, created from a demi-plane, similar to a Sanctuary built by a Demigod, and was not even comparable to the God Country of the Gods of Savagery and Strength. It would certainly not fall to an average True God, but for the current magic deity sequence, it was not a challenge.

In fact, even if he did not come, his subordinates alone could have taken it. His presence was just to be sure, and to see if there might be an unexpected windfall.

And there was indeed an unexpected gain. As one of the strongest among the Children of Nightmare with Medium Divine Power, if he could be killed, it would significantly weaken the Children of Nightmare's competitive strength in this world. Whether the base could be taken or not became less important by comparison.

The God of War's three avatars, each being equivalent to a God Level seven, made no attempt to conceal themselves as they charged towards the Lord of Magma. From afar, they simultaneously wielded swords, raising them high to deploy the unique Extraordinary godhood ability of the Warriors, drawing the holy power of millions of Cave People Angels and forging three Super Sacred Swords stretching for ten kilometers each to cleave towards the Nightmare base.

“Never!”

Flames burst from the eyes of the central Lord of Magma; His massive arms were raised, and endless magma surged from beneath Him, quickly covering the entire demi-plane. Amidst His roaring, His huge arms were lifted, forcibly extracting the energy of the entire demi-plane, which turned into a visible stream of light converging towards Him, rapidly forming a gargantuan shield spanning more than ten kilometers in the sky.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

With three earth-shattering booms, the Super Sacred Swords and the giant shield collapsed together, the infinite holy power mixed with chaotic magical energy turned into a torrent rushing in all directions, causing the demi-plane to tremble intensely, and space itself writhed under the unbearable strain.

“Hmm!”

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and in a flash, one avatar disappeared.

After several leaps, he appeared forty kilometers away in the Void, turned around, and saw a fireball flickering extensively in the Void, heading towards him. When it saw him, it stopped and quickly shrank to a five-meter-tall Lord of Magma.

After just one exchange, He had decided to flee, quite cunning indeed.

Luckily, Lin Xiao had been keeping a watchful eye on this big fish and noticed the movement in time to catch up.

Without any words wasted, he simply pointed a finger, and a loud and majestic voice echoed across the Void:

“I decree, evil cannot hide!”

An invisible ripple swept through the void, instantly spreading to a hundred miles' radius, causing the color on the face of the Lord of Magma to change slightly, with a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

After this ripple, both teleportation and invisibility within this void were forbidden.

“I declare, order shall return to order, chaos to chaos, and those who disobey shall be punished!”

Upon hearing the Great Divination Spell resonate once more, the Lord of Chaos turned tail and ran without a moment's hesitation, utterly lacking the dignity a Demon King should possess.

However, it's worth mentioning that any demon, when faced with a powerful divine force, would run without a second thought, since to them, saving face is not as valuable as capturing even the weakest soul.

Not to mention their identities, one being the Son of the Human Divine Realm, the other the Child of Nightmare, both were sworn enemies by current standing and faction, not even leaving room for negotiations, let alone a fight to the death.

Because the true might of a Demon Lord can only be fully displayed within the Abyss, in their own domains, where the Lord of Magma would confidently face any powerful divine force in the heart of the Magma should he be in his own territory, fueled by a steady energy supply from his land. But outside of the Abyss, he was indeed no match for a powerful divine force, even just an incarnation.

“I declare, darkness shall end, and light shall come….”

“I declare, those who do not belong to order shall be judged…..”

Lin Xiao gazed coldly at the Lord of Magma who had already fled dozens of kilometers away, extending a finger as white as jade and lightly tapping:

“In the name of order, I bind thee!”

As soon as these words landed, the Lord of Magma, who was more than thirty kilometers away in mid-escape, suddenly stopped, and the entire space seemed to freeze in time.

“How can the Great Divination Spell be this powerful?”

Currently, the Lord of Magma could only think and look around, his gaze landing on the avatar of the Magic God, which had just appeared not far from him, and the slowly extending white finger. A pang of heartache and reluctance flashed in his eyes as he made a decision…

Lin Xiao, who was preparing to cast another Great Divination Spell, immediately detected a wave of energy alien to the Crystal Wall System from the escaping Lord of Magma, indicating a rapid vanishing of some essence associated with that being. He instantly understood and said in a cold voice:

“Thinking of escaping? Dream on!”

Without any hesitation, he pointed his finger and declared loudly:

“In the name of the origin of matter, freeze time!”

In an instant, everything went still, and the slowly fading being was forcefully halted by the stoppage of time.

“In the name of the gods, I bestow upon you the eternal judgement!”

As his words fell, Lin Xiao's divine body shook violently, his immense divine power drained instantly, and his body rapidly turned transparent as if on the verge of collapse.

But his face betrayed no emotion, only coldly watching as the body of the Lord of Magma within the motionless time spontaneously combusted, engulfed by the milky white holy flames. The stillness of time rippled lightly, a sign of the Lord of Magma's desperate struggle.

However, the power of time is supreme, unshakable.

If powerful strength can disturb space, then disturbing time would require a strength beyond that of a powerful divine force, and even that would only be a mere disturbance. The Lord of Magma, who was not within his domain, obviously lacked the strength to do so, and neither did his true body possess such strength.

As the holy flames burned rapidly, the body of the Lord of Magma was quickly consumed, turning to ash frozen in time.

Yet, within these ashes was a transparent figure that did not belong to the Lord of Magma, a figure familiar to Lin Xiao, surrounded by an infinite void shadow–the true body of the Child of Nightmare that had just been on the verge of abandoning the Lord of Magma's identity to escape, along with the circling Nightmare Divine Realm. Now, it was forcibly retained by Lin Xiao's Great Divination Spell.

The immense force from this Crystal Wall System locked the Child of Nightmare in place, and while the Great Divination Spell passed judgement in the name of the gods, it was essentially the judgement by the force of this Crystal Wall System.

In this Crystal Wall Universe, where True Gods are mainstream, the will of the gods represents the will of the world.

The incarnation of the Child of Nightmare had ascended to a level comparable to that of a Median Divine Power Demon Lord, but the true body was only equivalent to a Lord of Nightmare with Weak Divine Power, not as strong as this incarnation.

This was the main cause of its demise. It probably hesitated to give up such a powerful incarnation, missing the first chance to escape. Had it resolutely abandoned the Demon Lord's incarnation from the start, Lin Xiao would not have captured it.

The true body of the Nightmare, along with the many Nightmare Creatures within the Nightmare Divine Realm, were gradually incinerated under the flames of judgement, eventually being completely submerged by the fire.

Lin Xiao stood silently on the spot, waiting for the flames to dissipate, leaving behind a massive soul and life crystal at the original location–this was the fusion crystal left by the Lord of Magma's incarnation tied with the true body and the many Nightmare Creatures of the Nightmare Divine Realm, containing extremely powerful energy.

With the death of the Lord of Magma, this battle essentially came to an end, as the Nightmare base had been destroyed as the Lord of Magma made his escape.

It was just a small base within the Crystal Wall System, not one of the main bases on the outskirts of the Crystal Wall System. Normally, only a few True God Level Powerhouses were stationed there. As long as the Split Claw Dragon Battle Team engaged in a diversion to prevent the main forces of the Nightmare's Outpost Base from reinforcing, the destruction of the base was a walk in the park.

With this base destroyed, Lin Xiao could distinctly feel the pleasure and favor from the will of the Crystal Wall.
