Chapter 1907 - 1906: The Grim Reaper’s Two-Way Maneuver

Lena down below lifted her head, looking towards the sky. The undead around her all turned their gazes to her, standing amidst the undead crowd.

Yet she seemed completely unaware, gazing at the somewhat frail figure in the sky, murmuring to herself, "Yiluo?"

A dense white radiance enveloped the golden-haired girl’s body. The wound that pierced her began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, even forcing the tail that stabbed her chest out of her body.

Her eye socket wounds rapidly healed as well, accompanied by a faint itch. The squirming flesh inside her eye socket formed a new eyeball.

Her previously blurry vision quickly cleared. She bewilderedly turned her head, looking behind her.

A somewhat immature yet steady face appeared in her field of view.

"Yiluo?" She slightly widened her eyes, seemingly unable to believe what she saw.

"You should take a rest now, leave the rest to me." He Ao smiled at her, gently raising a hand. Invisible power wrapped around her body, sending her towards the direction of the earth.

Then he turned his gaze forward.

[Revival of Living Beings: Effective when players achieve a perfect rating in hidden tasks. Players have one chance only in their next Copy World, to reset the status of a Character Card currently in cooldown.]

[You have chosen to reset the Character Card ’Eternal Obsession’]

He Ao’s gaze passed through the system subtitles gradually fading, looking at the little girl in a red dress bound by chains.

The ability of Revival of Living Beings was not a one-time effect. As long as He Ao achieved a perfect rating in hidden tasks, it could keep working.

And the ability of the ’Life Holy Grace’ Character Card could also be used by He Ao across different Character Cards.

Upon his appearance, he immediately resolved some undead, healing Vili with Life Holy Grace.

Now, it’s time to solve the core issue here.

With He Ao’s appearance, the female demon who had been constructing the array for the first time turned her gaze to look at He Ao.

Her appearance was charming and delicate, lips tinged with a light red-purple color, resembling the Federation’s legendary ’Enchanting Demon.’

From scattered legends, Enchanting Demons belonged to one of the demonic races with the highest Mysticism affinity. Thus, they’re also the ’Mage’ among demon races.

The surrounding Flame Demons seemed to be the ’Guardians’ of this Enchanting Demon.

Compared to the situation over in Yilan City with Cerberus serving as the main offensive force.

In Wint City, evidently, the Enchanting Demon was the main focus, primarily for ’spellcasting.’

He Ao’s eyes quickly scanned the array constructed beneath the Enchanting Demon’s feet.

This array was a special Sacrifice Conversion array, with the entire array’s core being the little girl in the red dress chained below.

Through the little girl in the red dress, this Enchanting Demon was infiltrating a special high-level power into this illusory city, attempting to penetrate deeper.

Inside Wint City is the Eternal Divine Nation, and deeper than it, strongly connected to the Eternal Divine Nation, there is only one place.

The New Netherworld.

The Grim Reaper was attempting to control the newly birthed New Netherworld using the Eternal Divine Nation and Alice as a medium.

The Grim Reaper’s gaze was not solely on Vissen.

As He Ao and the Enchanting Demon exchanged glares, the Enchanting Demon abruptly raised her palm, rapidly pulling up the surrounding radiance.

The array constructed beneath her feet rapidly descended, striking towards the little girl in the red dress below.

This time, the little girl in the red dress did not attempt to struggle, but raised her head, looking at the Enchanting Demon overhead.

In the next instant, the little girl’s body, chained by chains, abruptly flickered, and the red dress skirt vanished, transforming into a figure covered in radiance, it was ’Yiluo,’ or rather He Ao.

The body of the little girl in a red dress then appeared outside the chains.

In the instant just now, He Ao and Alice completed a body swap.

The final fusion structure of the Eternal Divine Nation was determined, Yiluo and Alice, neither can fully represent the Eternal Divine Nation on their own, only together can they completely symbolize the ’Eternal Divine Nation.’

But when directing towards the Eternal Divine Nation, individually they have the same Mysticism symbol.

Simply put, using both to direct towards the Eternal Divine Nation, ’Yiluo’ and ’Alice’ can be considered as the same person.

Since they’re the same person, naturally they can swap with each other.

This is a loophole in the Enchanting Demon’s array, cleverly utilized by He Ao.

Destructing this array from the outside requires some effort, but destroying it from the inside is much simpler.

After all, the array was targeting Alice, not He Ao.

He Ao raised his hand, along with swapping out Alice, those invisible chains intertwined his body.

However, his actions did not pause at all; he lightly pointed towards the void, an overflowing orange radiance gathered instantly at his fingertips.

The surrounding void swiftly flickered, this radiance converged into a dazzling orange Light Saber, and then the impurities within the Light Saber were rapidly shed, condensing into a real, incredibly sharp silver Longsword.

This is the Eternal Divine Nation; He Ao’s body itself, here, is almost equivalent to half a ’creator.’

The fluctuations on the silver Longsword did not cease with its formation, almost instantaneously, streams of invisible radiance covered the Longsword, a path of purple runes engraved on the Longsword.

Upon seeing this scene, the Enchanting Demon in the air immediately raised her hand, and the gigantic array that had originally half enveloped He Ao’s body swiftly shrunk as if a pouch.

Meanwhile, down below, the undead holding tightly to the chains suddenly pulled them tighter, quickly shrinking the chains, snugly encasing He Ao’s body within the chains.

Boom——

At the world’s deepest layer, a certain sharp noise seemed to ring out; it was certain invisible power attempting to delve deeper into the world through the Eternal Divine Nation.

Within this invisible thunderclap, at the brink of the array’s enclosure, the Longsword in He Ao’s hand fully solidified.

He slightly raised his eyes, looking at the Enchanting Demon overhead, observing the enshrouding array.

Clang——

The resplendent sword light swept across the firmament instantaneously, severing the invisible array, ethereal chains, along with everything in the sky with one strike.

The Enchanting Demon suspended in the air had no time to react, instantly cleft in two by the sharp sword light.

And the surrounding Flame Demons also realized something, their bodies leaned forward, but before any significant action was taken, the sharp sword light sliced across their throats, severing those flaming heads.

Down below, those pulling tightly on the chains of undead did not have time to feel the chains lightening; their bodies were sliced in half by the dazzling sword light, immediately bifurcated in the light.

All this happened so swiftly, there were no cries of pain, no screams, the entire space became eerily quiet.

Lena bewilderedly lowered her head, looking around.

She was still immersed in the shock of ’Yiluo’s’ return, unaware of what exactly had transpired.

Yet at this moment, sounds echoed in her ears; merely the noise of severed spiritual bodies falling to the ground.

Dong dong dong——

The demon heads aflame fell onto the ground, emitting a deep and dull sound.

Just a brief moment of distraction, and everything seemed to have ended.

The golden-haired girl Vili slipped from the sky and landed on the ground, Lena urgently reaching out to catch her.

"What’s the situation?" Vili asked, puzzled, looking at He Ao and Alice suspended in the sky, "Is it over?"

"I’m afraid not yet," Lena shook her head slightly.

She gazed at the sky above, where the purple brilliance covering the entire firmament hadn’t disappeared despite the demons and undead perishing.

Meanwhile, He Ao in the sky lifted his head, looking towards that purple firmament.

He gripped the silvery longsword in his hand, with a faint purple glow flowing at the tip.

Alice beside him also lifted her head, gazing at that purple firmament.

The moment everyone looked up, the corpse of the Enchanting Demon, yet to completely fall from the sky, began to twist rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately, purple flames began to burn intensely all over the bodies of the Flame Demons whose heads had been severed.

These purple flames spread swiftly at a speed visible to the naked eye, in an instant extending to the undead creatures below with severed bodies.

Some of these undead creatures, due to their unique forms, hadn’t completely died but were instantly enveloped by the surging flames, turning into blazing fuel.

Seeing those purple flames surging forward, Lena hurriedly embraced Vili, retreating away from the nearby undead corpses.

The wave of flames grew increasingly vigorous, swiftly charging into the sky, engulfing the clustered form of the Enchanting Demon’s husks.

At that instant, the purple brilliance above the firmament shrank rapidly, striking down the slain Enchanting Demon like lightning.

Under the illumination of flames and brilliance, the Enchanting Demon’s body unfolded quickly, with writhing flesh rapidly crystallizing, densely revealing arrays across the resplendent crystals.

An aura of terror began to gradually spread along with the formation of the arrays.

As though an ancient, magnificent gaze was descending from the boundless void, casting upon this region.

Grim Reaper.

These undead and demons were prepared sacrifices for the Grim Reaper, who if their plans failed, would personally offer a sacrifice, summoning the reward of its own projection.

If losing, directly meddling in the affair, the Old Geezer lacks chivalry.

He Ao took a deep breath, gripping the longsword in his hand, subtly raising the sword’s glow.

Behind him, the little girl in a red dress, Alice, stepped forward, her body transformed into fluttering scarlet butterflies, flying towards He Ao, landing between his brows.

The butterfly spread its wings, settling at He Ao’s brow, and gently merged inside, forming a scarlet butterfly mark.

He Ao lifted the longsword in his hand, causing the entire space to violently tremble at this moment.

’Yiluo’ and ’Alice’, their union constitutes the complete Eternal Divine Nation.

The best time to disrupt a ritual is while it remains incomplete.

He Ao raised the longsword, slicing towards the purple crystal.

With a faint purple hue, the vibrant orange sword glow surged forth like a crashing wave, interweaving subtle invisible brilliance, colliding upon the purple crystal.

Bang——

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the purple crystal, etched with arrays and formed of flesh, slightly trembled.

Intricate cracks appeared upon the crystal.

At this instant, the crystal emitted a faint splendor.

He Ao lifted his gaze, looking towards the distance.

His sight pierced through the boundaries of the Eternal Divine Nation, gazing at the external city.

Strands of purple brilliance abruptly traversed boundaries, charging into this region, merging with the purple crystal.

Within these glimmers, faintly appeared forms of Harpies and skeletons, yet before arriving, the glimmers transformed into pure power, merging with the purple crystal.

"What’s happening?" Vili turned her head too, looking towards the distance.

Behind her were just towering buildings.

"Seems like some kind of ’sacrifice’," Lena contemplated, observing, "The crystal sacrificially consumed the outside undead, using them to repair itself."

Meanwhile, He Ao had already withdrawn his gaze, looking at the cracked purple crystal.

As streams of brilliance surged in, the cracks on the crystal rapidly mended.

Until the last wisp of purple brilliance melded into the crystal, restoring its form entirely.

This resplendent crystal lightly quivered in the air, its radiant arrays fully ignited, seemingly mocking He Ao’s underestimation.

That terrifying gaze from boundless void began its rapid descent.

The firmament spread with boundless cloud mist, and above the mist, something terrifying was faintly slowly descending.

At this moment, the quivering purple crystal suddenly halted, immediately covered in countless cracks.

Amidst a brief moment of illusion, it’s as if some intangible brilliance wandered within.

Bang——

With a soft sound, the crystal exploded and shattered into endless streaming light.

He Ao’s true kill move wasn’t the sword glow but the Void Consciousness hidden within it.

That gaze projected from the endless void seemed to pause momentarily at this juncture.

The mist clouding the firmament, along with the terrifying entity about to descend within it, stalled entirely at this moment.

The dense cloud mist began to dissolve gradually.

He Ao gazed at the cloud mist overhead, his sight seemingly penetrating the infinite void, glimpsing the ancient Great Being beyond that void, letting out a slight sigh of relief.

But only in a moment, the tranquil cloud mist rolled fiercely once more, a terrifying pressure suddenly surged forth from the mist.

He Ao’s expression froze; he lifted his hand, accompanied by subtle spatial ripples, sending Vili and Lena below away from this ’Eternal Divine Nation’ instantaneously.

Earlier, he could rely on the power of the Eternal Divine Nation to shield them from pollution, but thereafter, it would be impossible.

He lifted his gaze, staring at the fiercely rolling cloud mist in the sky.

The Grim Reaper seemed determined to descend here at all costs.
