Chapter 577: The Descent of the Abominations (II)

While Ampus was stuck in a stalemate, things were going more smoothly for Charlie. After struggling for a while against the massive Destroyer Centipede, whose body, soul, and size were enormous, the King of the North finally unleashed the powerful might of his Winter Avatar. He covered over 80% of the Destroyer Centipede’s body with his domain power, infused with the laws of ice, rendering the creature almost unable to move. Eventually, Charlie used his Ice Spear to freeze it into a giant iceberg.

The power of these laws froze the monster’s flesh and soul, ensuring that unless disrupted by external forces for at least several hundred years, the Destroyer Centipede would not be able to break free from the ice. Then, Charlie dragged the iceberg outside the Kingdom of Azeroth.

“Compared to you, Donald, I’m practically a pauper. Consider this guy as a gift to congratulate you on ascending to the throne!” said Donald’s Doom Avatar, stepping forward with a smile upon seeing the iceberg moved by Charlie. “This gift is exactly what I need. Since we’ve decided to form a pantheon, do you really think you’ll lack divine artifacts?”

The two true god avatars chatted amicably, while Donald’s Demon Hunter avatar, who was watching from outside, immediately placed the iceberg inside the kingdom for later handling.

Since this iceberg was formed by the King of the North’s icy power, it was different from ordinary icebergs—it wouldn’t melt even if the environment changed, unless it were placed in molten lava or a fire element plane! Moreover, as it was created by the power of laws, it continuously affected the environment of the surrounding kingdom. Donald had no choice but to place it in an uninhabited area in the northern part of Azeroth, so as to prevent the creatures there from being harmed by the laws of ice.

After achieving his goal, the King of the North returned outside the kingdom with Donald and the others to watch the battle. Seeing that Charlie and Donald, the two true gods, had already dealt with their targets, the other three demi-god warriors fighting on the field grew anxious.

Although those two were powerful true gods, their enemies were still at the demi-god level. If they failed to resolve the situation quickly, it would surely affect how others viewed them. Those who had become powerful demi-gods all had their pride. Especially Ampus and Ciri, who didn’t want to fail their tasks and have their masters clean up the mess, so they intensified their attacks.

In fact, despite their strength, the destructive sand worms faced by Ciri, the god of adventure and sailing, lacked wisdom. As long as she could proceed steadily and persevere for a while, she could defeat them without harm to herself. On the other hand, the Soul Piercing Prison Souls Demons faced by Amps were weaker than the destructive sand worms, but due to their cunning and eerie abilities, they were very difficult to deal with. Compared to these two, the situation on Uther’s side was completely different. Uther, who was already calm by nature, became even more steadfast after becoming a demigod, remaining unaffected by external influences. Thus, he consistently adhered to his plan and did not change his tactics just because his master ended the battle early. The Worm Mage feared the power of large-scale counter-effect areas like the Holy Light Domain and did not want to take risks personally. Instead, he attempted to disrupt the opponent’s domain with remote attacks and sent his Killing Revenants to sneak into the domain for close combat. This was because of the Worm Mage’s powerful and evil spell, Worm Devourment, which required the opponent to be severely injured for it to succeed. Worm Devourment was not actually a spell that summoned a swarm of worms to attack the enemy; rather, it was a mental illusion that made the target believe countless worms were devouring their flesh. If the target was unharmed, the spell had no effect on targets equal to or above the Worm Mage’s level and those with strong willpower. It could only intimidate the target for a short time without causing actual damage. In other words, the more severe the injuries the target suffered, the more effective the illusion became, eventually reaching a point where it seemed real, turning the illusion into reality and ending the target’s life. Moreover, due to the Worm Mage’s physical structure, his movement speed was relatively slow. Usually, after creating some distance from the enemy, he needed time to move again before finally dealing a blow. If the enemy was not completely under the spell’s effect, they might take the opportunity to counterattack, ruining his plans and even putting him in danger. After all, since becoming a Worm Mage, these evil beings had lost their physical combat capabilities and could only rely on the power of spells as their strongest and only means.

The powerful legendary spells of the Worm Mage indeed dealt significant damage to Uther’s Holy Light Domain. The corrosion from negative energy and evil forces caused some damage to the domain, allowing the two Death Zombioids controlled by the Worm Mage to take advantage of the situation and enter the domain to attack their master.

Uther was struggling greatly, having to use the domain’s powers to defend against the Worm Mage’s remote spells while also resisting the attacks of the Death Zombioids. The situation for him seemed extremely dire.

Several legendary warriors grew worried upon seeing this and wanted to step in to help. However, the three goddesses and powerful deities like Donald saw through the surface appearance and realized that Uther merely seemed overwhelmed on the surface; his actual strength had not been affected at all.

So, Donald, as Uther’s master, spoke up, “There’s no need to worry. I believe Uther has his own plans. Let’s just wait and see the outcome!”

Hearing this, everyone relaxed, realizing they had been overly anxious. Had they not noticed that Uther hadn’t even used his most effective defensive tactic, the Sacred Shield? This showed that he wasn’t in any truly dangerous situation—he just appeared overwhelmed but hadn’t suffered any injuries.

Indeed, as the Holy Light Domain was largely eroded by negative energy and could no longer protect its master, the Worm Mage revealed a triumphant, evil smile. His tiny worms writhed as he floated toward Uther, clearly intent on delivering further attacks.

But just as the Worm Mage stepped into the damaged domain, ready to cast another powerful spell, he saw the once-ravaged domain suddenly glow brightly and reassemble into a vast Holy Light Domain. Countless radiant holy flames ignited within it, setting the two Gold Peak-level Death Zombioids ablaze. Their decayed, rigid bodies, filled with negative energy, acted like gasoline cans struck by a spark. Once touched by the holy flames, they exploded in a massive firestorm, turning into ashes within the domain like torches with black-gray cores, screaming in agony.
