Chapter 493: The Great Annihilation Art
Apart from Donald, whose expression remained unchanged, even a newly risen god like Bassetto felt immense pressure under the combined assault of the Red Demon God’s aura and domain. The others didn’t even dare think of resisting!
With the Book of Truth guarding the core of his soul, Donald wasn’t just immune to even the most basic divine artifacts—even if an upper-tier god used a mid-tier divine artifact, it might not be enough to shake his soul. “Be careful of this guy’s divine artifact—”
Faced with the Red Demon God’s power having surged tenfold, Bassetto had no time to say more. He quickly warned Donald and the others before summoning a set of deep blue divine armor to confront it.
The Red Demon God, in a state of frenzied chaos, had lost its basic judgment. Any creature within its line of sight became a target for its attacks.
With his armor on, Sea God Bassetto stepped forward actively, making him the Red Demon God’s primary target. The mad totem god didn’t even use a weapon—instead, it lowered its head and charged headfirst.
The Red Demon God’s horns, as solid as those of a sub-divine artifact, collided with Bassetto’s deep blue armor, creating waves of shock. Even with the protection of divine armor, the Sea God was sent flying several miles away, leaving behind a trench several miles wide and ten feet deep.
On the other hand, the Red Demon God, protected by the vastly powerful divine helmet—the Crown of Fear—suffered little from the impact. It simply stood up, shook its head, and continued searching for targets to attack.
The next to confront it was Uther, the Holy Light Angel and currently Donald’s most powerful demi-god warrior.
As for the other legendary warriors, they could only remotely grant Uther some buffs or cause minor trouble for the Red Demon God. They dared not unleash attacks at a legendary level, fearing it would attract the Red Demon God’s wrath, and they certainly wouldn’t be able to withstand a casual strike from it in such a state.
As for Kelthas, a grand mage of golden strength, he was completely unable to intervene in such a battle.
Uther, wielding the Sword of the Oath of Victory, once again radiated holy flames as he fought alongside the Red Demon God. Thanks to his powerful defensive abilities from the sacred shield, despite being two levels weaker, Uther managed to hold the Red Demon God’s attention. At the same time, he used his sub-divine artifact sword, imbued with holy flames, to inflict several wounds on the Red Demon God’s body.
The Holy Flame truly embodies the powerful divine force born from the union of the realm of light and holy radiance. Even though the Red Demon God has reached the strength of a lower god, his rank remains that of a demigod totem deity, with no hierarchical suppression—making the damage inflicted by the Holy Flame far greater than imagined.
Just as the Red Demon God lost his sanity and fell into a frenzied state, the Windstorm God, who resided in the heart of the Windstorm Tribe, sensed the situation from afar. He was all too familiar with the aura of the Red Demon God and immediately realized things were bad—his ally had entered a berserk state without him being present. If he couldn’t reach him within three breaths, his last remaining right-hand man would face the same fate as the Stone Bear God before him: certain death!
“Get away!”
At these words, the Windstorm God unleashed his divine power, pushing the two opponents away from him before teleporting in the direction of the Red Demon God.
But how could the King of the North and the Dawn Messenger allow the Windstorm God to succeed? They once again engaged him, disregarding their own safety. The King of the North even activated the enhancement effect of his primary divine weapon, the Heart of a King, boosting the combat strength of himself and his ally, the Dawn Messenger. Though such an effect was somewhat ineffective against powerful beings above demigod level, it still provided a slight advantage.
Furious, the Windstorm God flew forward and sent the Dawn Messenger, who was responsible for defense, flying into the air. Even with the protection of a true divine weapon, the Dawn Messenger spat out a mouthful of blood—clearly severely injured after repeated attacks.
Yet the Dawn Messenger’s injury gave the King of the North the chance to charge again. He used his divine weapon, a one-handed sword, to block the Windstorm God’s attempt to escape, causing him considerable trouble!
Interrupted repeatedly by two opponents weaker than himself, the Windstorm God’s anger reached its peak. Willing to endure prolonged weakness afterward, he unleashed his full divine power, sending those annoying pests flying once more before instantly teleporting to where the Red Demon God was.
However, the Windstorm God arrived a little too late. When he reached the scene, he found the once-vibrant Red Demon God now devoid of light, being dragged away by a human true god with a beam of divine radiance.
It turned out that Donald, sensing the surge of power on the battlefield controlled by the King of the North and the others, worried that Charlie and the others might not be able to stop the Windstorm God from arriving. Thus, his original plan to delay the Red Demon God for three breaths, causing him to lose his combat strength on his own, might no longer be feasible.
So Donald shouted at everyone:
“The plan has changed; we must act quickly!” With that, he first diagnosed the spear in his hand. A greenish light locked onto the Red Demon God as he recited incantations. “Law: Deterrence!” The power of the Great Law spell was instantly unleashed, and its formidable rules caused the frenzied Red Demon God to freeze for a moment. However, the Red Demon God was now as powerful as a lower-tier god, so the Great Law spell could not hold him back for long and would also incur severe backlash. In the next instant, the Red Demon God would regain his freedom. But that brief moment was enough! Enduring the discomfort from the backlash, Donald cast a legendary spell he had prepared a day in advance: the Great Annihilation Spell. This was the most powerful offensive spell available to their School of Transformation, capable of completely disintegrating a creature or an inanimate object no larger than 10 cubic feet at the particle level. Its effect was equivalent to a level 9 Annihilation Spell, with an even higher resistance threshold—no even a demi-god could fully evade it, unless they possessed a true divine artifact with defensive properties. Since becoming a true god, Donald had not slacked off; he continued to hone his magic skills. With his true god status, all his spells automatically gained divine power, further enhancing their strength. A column of destructive light enveloped the Red Demon God. Starting from its lower body, its tissues began to disintegrate instantly, and within a few breaths, the destruction spread to its waist. The divine glow in the Red Demon God’s upper body flickered violently as it tried to resist the rule-based force of this destructive spell. But the effect was minimal, as its body was already under the assault of two powerful forces—holy flames and the light of divine punishment—preventing it from using all its strength to counter the Great Annihilation Spell.
