Chapter 576: The Arrival of Divine Plagues (1)

The Destroying Giant Centipede, the Destroying Sand Worm, the Worm Mage, along with the last two powerful legendary monsters—a terrifying creature resembling an alien with a pale appearance and sharp spines all over its body—and a two-legged being shaped like a frog appeared.
From this order, one can discern the varying levels of intelligence among these five boss-level monsters among the void creatures that attacked the Divine Kingdom this time. The brains of the Destroying Giant Centipede and the Destroying Sand Worm are essentially driven only by the desire to kill, aiming to destroy all material and non-material existence. Thus, upon sensing the rise of the Divine Kingdom, they didn’t hesitate and headed straight for their targets.
The Destroying Sand Worm was slower than the Destroying Giant Centipede, which is why it arrived a step later.
Compared to these void destroyers, the Worm Mage, deeply immersed in the realm of evil, wasn’t quite so mindless. Upholding its evil will from life and becoming even more twisted due to its bodily mutations, the Worm Mage usually had its own plans. However, it also coveted the benefits within the Divine Kingdom and wanted to seize them before other monsters could. As a result, it took a middle position, letting the two destroyers lead the charge while it tried to profit first. But to its disappointment, the number and strength of the targets far exceeded its expectations, so it too became one of those at the back.
The last two terrifying creatures to arrive were, aside from the three goddesses, of a species even Donald didn’t know.
After all, the vastness of the universe meant there were countless strange creatures, and he had only just begun to explore the world of true gods, with much still to learn.
“That human-shaped creature over there is called a Soul Prisoner Demon. It belongs to the same category as Abyssal Demons, but the difference is that such creatures don’t necessarily originate in the abyss. When a mad, intelligent killer dies, its soul, driven by chaos and twisted forces, descends to the dark and filthy lower realms, where it absorbs chaotic evil elements to regain a physical body and continue its endless slaughter, becoming a Soul Prisoner Demon!”
The Magic Goddess looked grave, her tone tinged with disgust—clearly, she had a very poor impression of such creatures.

“The Soul Prisoner has no conscience; its only purpose is to slaughter and destroy any soul-bearing creature it sees, whether alive or dead. Even among Soul Prisoners, this one is an extremely powerful and evil type known as the Soul Piercing Soul Prisoner. When it kills a creature, the victim’s body disappears, and their soul turns into a phantom trapped on the Soul Prisoner’s spikes. The Soul Piercing Soul Prisoner consumes the power of these souls until they are utterly destroyed after their suffering ends.”
Everyone present shuddered at the description—such evil creatures were rare even in the Abyss.
Donald said to Amps, “Since it’s related to Abyssal creatures, leave it to you to deal with it! Be careful; its abilities are likely very strange.”
“As you command, my master!”
Amps, the Abyssal Demon Forger, bowed and left.
Donald then turned his gaze toward another legendary Void monster that was about to arrive.
“Then, Princess Euryana, could you explain what this monster is?”
The Magic Goddess gave Donald a peculiar look and sighed, “I don’t know if you’re lucky or unlucky—you keep attracting rare and powerful creatures!”
“That last one is a rare Void creature called the Slarth. Completely dominated by chaos, the Slarth exists solely to create disorder. They have only a vague understanding of reality, and their minds are filled with insane thoughts. These rare and mad creatures focus on things beyond the comprehension of other beings. Usually, they attack any creature without reason.”

“The Slime Toads do not recognize any deities and believe they are the first creatures to emerge in the universe. Though this is merely their assumption, these creatures are indeed ancient species that existed alongside demons or even earlier. It is said that they were created by even more powerful, ancient, and evil beings than the supreme gods! But all of this is history now. The Slime Toads hold no status in the abyss and have been driven to the edges of the void to survive. The foolish Slime Toads spread chaos instinctively, while the clever ones do so deliberately. Unfortunately for other creatures in the universe, those Slime Toads who reach the Golden rank or above are usually the smarter ones! Fortunately, such chaotic creatures are extremely rare, with those powerful enough to reach the level of true gods being even fewer!”

“When fighting the Slime Toads, be careful of their claws. They use these claws to implant Slime Toad embryos in living beings. This is a contagious substance known as the ‘Chaos Phage.’ These embryos quickly grow into Slime Toad tadpoles, which then kill their hosts to become new Slime Toads. As a hallmark of the Slime Toads, the infected victims go insane before dying.”

“When a Slime Toad is completely filled with chaotic energy from the endless abyss, its body is consumed, and it transforms into a Void Slime Toad. Also called the Black Slime Toad due to its dark skin, these void creatures lose the ability to spread the Chaos Phage but gain control over terrifying chaotic energy. Powerful Void Slime Toads can even rival true gods. This one seems to be a newly ascended Void Slime Toad, but even conservatively, its strength is above that of a demi-god—making it extremely difficult to deal with!”

After hearing the Magic Goddess’s explanation, Donald nodded without showing any fear. Instead, he threw away his long spear, handing over Fury of Nature to his Demon Hunter avatar. The square wooden whip reappeared in his hand as he said confidently, “Of course, it’s just my luck. The stronger these guys are, the better!”

With that, he stepped forward out of the group and headed straight toward the monster coming from the void, swinging his whip at it.

Against creatures of this pure chaos faction, the Whip of Order can achieve unexpected results compared to Fury of Nature. This guy is probably the wisest of the five legendary monsters here. Although his strength may not be the greatest, he is undoubtedly the most difficult to deal with!

So Donald prepared to take action himself!
Evil beings aren’t scary, nor are evil and powerful beings—what’s truly terrifying are those that are both evil and powerful, intelligent, and utterly insane!
The Void Slime possessed all of these traits, which is why Donald took this powerful and bizarre creature extremely seriously. Even though it was weaker than him, he didn’t give it the slightest chance to attack or turn the situation around, launching a surprise attack with the Whip of Order right from the start.
Such beings must be eradicated at their source; otherwise, if they grow strong enough, there might be no place left for any other life in the entire universe! This is also why ordinary gods usually capture, imprison, or destroy such creatures when they encounter them.
Unlike the Spider Queen’s avatar, which was frozen in place, the Void Slime, empowered by the laws of order, resisted even more fiercely while being restrained. Even the avatars of gods from the chaotic evil faction contain some elements of order, so when faced with the attacks of the Whip of Order, they suffered more from the constraints of these laws. But the Void Slime, whose entire power was chaotic, immediately resisted fiercely under the suppression of order.
However, one was a newly risen Void Slime whose power had just reached demi-god level, while the other was a mid-tier divine artifact with immense power—there was a huge difference in their ranks. The chaotic forces within the Void Slime couldn’t struggle much before being completely suppressed.
Still not feeling secure, Donald immediately waved his hand, releasing a divine beam to trap the restrained Void Slime and suppress it within the Land of Truth.
He didn’t dare let such a dangerous creature remain uncontrolled in his divine realm. After all, Azeroth had only existed for a few years, and both its laws and spatial stability were far inferior to those of a powerful supreme god’s realm like the Land of Truth.
For this reason, it was worth revealing some secrets even to the three goddesses, as this powerful demi-god-level Void creature could help elevate a portion of his realm to an elementary immortal land, along with other benefits. Moreover, Donald believed the three goddesses wouldn’t delve too deeply into his secrets.
Indeed, the moment they saw Donald use this mysterious technique, the three goddesses’ eyes flashed. But since they had come to help Donald secure his throne out of goodwill, they didn’t ask any questions.

Every true god has managed to achieve their current status by relying on certain secrets. Putting themselves in their shoes, how could they possibly force things and upset Donald? That would harm their simple yet deep friendship! While Donald can resolve battles effortlessly in an instant, the others face greater difficulties, especially Amps, who is up against a powerful Soul Piercer and Soul Prisoner demon that, though only at the legendary level, possesses the strength of a demi-god. The Soul Piercer and Soul Prisoner’s soul-piercing skills are extremely tricky to defend against; even demi-god demons don’t want to be hit by them. Once their soul falls into the enemy’s hands, it will be pierced by the spikes on the demon’s body, and they can only escape if the Soul Piercer and Soul Prisoner is completely destroyed. Fortunately, Amps wields the Demon Slaying Sword, which was specifically created by Donald so that it could slay abyssal demon creatures and draw power from their souls and bodies. This sword can transform chaotic power into ordered power. Although its evil nature doesn’t change much, at least it is constrained by order, allowing Amps to gradually break free from the abyss’s grip and gain a new source of power, so he won’t lose strength after leaving the abyss. The Soul Piercer and Soul Prisoner also fears such a sub-legendary artifact that can absorb chaotic and soul power, and thus dares not approach its wielder lightly.
