Cooperating with a demon would obviously be the same as asking a tiger for its skin. No matter what the plan was, and whether or not we succeeded in killing off Cavendish, we would definitely end up having a fierce battle against him.
Still, it would be quite a pity if I refused to cooperate with Sophocles. Sophocles had accurate information on Cavendish, which was exactly what I needed the most right now.
While I was hesitating, the next instant, a gigantic claw suddenly descended from the sky and attacked me.
Unfortunately, Sophocles had only attacked Sophocles' shattered incarnation. Sophocles' true body hadn't even moved at all. Sophocles' true body hadn't moved at all.
From the very start, we hadn't been talking about Sophocles' true body.
I silently stood in the clouds and looked down at Sophocles, who was still sipping tea. It would seem that the time had come. This attack was only a signal.
Some things didn't need to be said too clearly. No matter whether or not I agreed to join Sophocles' plan, I would need to display a certain amount of combat strength in order to have the right to speak. This was one of the rules of communication between the Chaos Lords.
Since I had so "sincerely" stated my request first, Sophocles was currently testing out my personal power level after making my breakthrough to see if I had the right to speak on equal terms with him.
However, if I appeared too weak or revealed an opening, Sophocles would happily kill me. Of course, it was the same the other way around as well. How could I possibly miss out on a chance to kill off this powerful demon before me?
Actually, since Sophocles had blocked my path today, this battle was unavoidable.
"Ha, you won't be satisfied if you don't test my strength?"
Although this battle had turned from a life-and-death battle into a test, the danger level hadn't decreased at all. The moment I revealed an opening or an obvious difference in power level, it would instantly become a life-and-death battle again.
Holy light gathered around me as I took a deep breath. I gripped my Dawn holy sword with both hands and fully unfurled my angelic wings behind my back.
For angels, wings weren't only for decoration or for flight. Their true purpose was to store and absorb even more power of Order. From a certain standpoint, the number and quality of an angel's wings represented the upper limit of an angel's power of Order. The more powerful an angel was, the stranger their wings would appear.
Two wings, four wings, six wings, twelve wings, metal wings, light wings, scorching wings, dragon knights, floating cannons … It seemed like all sorts of random things had been mixed in, but angels had all sorts of wings based on their rank and position. From a certain standpoint, this was indeed a type of functional organ.
Their most basic ability was to absorb the power of Order from the upper planes in order to replenish themselves and increase their combat strength. That was why their wings were always faintly glowing, and they were highly skilled in prolonged battles.
I took a deep breath as I absorbed an endless amount of Holy Light from the upper planes. The entire world was bathed in golden light. Compared to the past, the gathering speed of Holy Light was at least ten times faster.
Previously, when I transformed into a War Angel, it didn't change the essence of my life form. But now, my bloodline could give me actual power.
War Angel was the name of my Order Angel Bloodline. On the ancient tree of power ranks, this wasn't a regular type of Ancient Angel. Instead, it was an honorable title given to Ancient Angels by the Creator Goddesses in certain domains. Its name explained the characteristics of this type of Angel.
There was no other reason than that War Angel was skilled in combat.
As the top-level warriors of the Order Faction, War Angels' greatest reliance was their ability to use the power of Order. What else could possibly increase their combat strength more than the endless power of Order?
From a certain standpoint, this pair of faintly glowing golden wings was also a top-level Myth-ranked weapon that specialized in absorbing and increasing the power of Order.
I could even faintly sense that the entrance to the upper planes where I was absorbing the power of Holy Light was located at the core of the Heaven's Pillar (Pillar of Order). The Heaven's Pillar was equivalent to the River Styx, and was the source of all power of Order. It was also the only river of light that existences outside of souls couldn't possibly come into contact with.
It would seem that the Goddess of Order had cheated yet again to be able to absorb the purest power of Order from the Heaven's Pillar of Order.
The entire sky was illuminated by Holy Light. My wings had now transformed into grand wings of light that were comparable in length to battleships. However, I still didn't feel like I had reached my limit.
Since I had the authority of a certain Creator God, perhaps the amount of Holy Light I could absorb wouldn't be as much as a pure Order God, but the quality of my Holy Light would likely be much higher.
With a tremendous amount of Holy Light supporting me, my Dawn Holy Light sword's blade of light was endlessly extended. This design was also what I relied on to slay large demons and undead.
"Second mode …"
The runes on the sword's hilt were ignited, and five small parts flew out from it.
One flew high up into the sky at high speed, while the other four flew out in all directions and occupied the four corners of the sword.
Meanwhile, I, who wielded my Dawn Holy Light sword, was freely emitting Holy Light, becoming a true source of light.
Endless amounts of Holy Light shot out. Every time it shot out, it would strengthen itself. This was a special domain created by the Light Mirror.
The Holy Light became even hotter and more dangerous under the effects of the Light Mirror's amplification. The power of pure Holy Light was purifying and correcting this domain.
The next instant, as a connection of light was established, I was no longer the only source of light. Above me and all around me, five other sources of light simultaneously lit up. The entire world was baptized by Holy Light.
Even someone as powerful as Sophocles instantly became blind under this unprecedented baptism of Holy Light.
The demons' gigantic and strong bodies gave them an even larger area of illumination. The continuous pure Holy Light would purify and weaken all non-Order powers within this area. Perhaps it wouldn't be as domineering as the original Holy Light, but this continuous weakening effect would be even more effective when facing a powerful enemy.
Powerful demons had the unique power of Chaos distortion. They were able to instinctively transform their surroundings into the Chaos Abyss, turning it into their home turf. Meanwhile, my Holy Light domain was capable of erasing the traces of Chaos without consuming any energy.
Sophocles' gigantic body actually became his weakness. The high density of Holy Light in the air was currently dissolving his body like acid.
Perhaps he wouldn't be able to threaten a Chaos Main God for a short period of time, but this continuous weakening effect would be endless. If only I had the complete version of my Northlands magic sword, Ice Magic Sword, and two of my magic swords, I would be able to try and make Sophocles stay here forever.
I didn't want to immediately reveal my trump cards, nor did I want to use my trump card when I wasn't confident in being able to kill Sophocles. But since my opponent was an existence like Sophocles, holding back would be the same as committing suicide.
The spreading of Holy Light here was only the beginning. Even more Holy Light was gathering on my Dawn sword. The Concept of "gathering light" transformed my sword into a fatal needle of light.
When the power of Holy Light was gathered to the extreme, my sword of light would have the power to slay a God.
My sword of light had already extended to several hundred meters in length. However, I was still holding it tightly in my hand. It was just that I was now pointing my sword at the Demon Main God's core.
"Gather, gather, gather even more. Forbidden spells that spread out are meaningless against existences at the level of a Chaos Main God. Only the purest power of Order, compressed to the extreme, will be able to pierce through their defenses and destroy their vitals — their demon hearts."
"Roar!"
The Demon Main God angrily roared at the sky as distorted power of Chaos gushed out like a volcano. Black mist and lava covered his body in an attempt to resist the Holy Light's baptism.
The Demon Main God held the greatsword on his back in his hand. However, it fused together with his flesh and blood. The greatsword that was as large as a mountain was covered in a thick blood-red light. When the Demon Main God grasped his true power, the entire world seemed to tremble in fear.
The Demon Main God took a deep breath as endless power of Chaos surged out from beneath the ground. He had already connected himself to the Chaos Abyss at all costs. The entire land trembled and collapsed as everything returned to Chaos.
On the pitch-black land, the Chaos Main God became even more ferocious as his gigantic body expanded by another 30%. His greatsword was now powerful enough to slice apart any mountain.
Finally, he moved.
The Demon Main God swung his greatsword, which was even larger than his physical body, towards the sky.
The Demon Main God's footsteps created an earthquake. The blood-red light caused his greatsword to suddenly extend. The blood-red light even pierced through the clouds.
When I saw this sword, I knew that no matter what angle I tried to dodge, this sword would still collide with my lightsaber in the end.
This seemed to be faintly related to karma. This Demon Main God, who was famed for being sly, was actually an incredibly outstanding Sword Saint!
Sophocles had successfully connected himself to the Chaos Abyss. This sword attack would affect the power of Chaos in the Chaos Abyss.
"Damn it, wasn't this supposed to be a test? Why are you trying so hard? It's not like I can kill you. At most, I'll make you go back to the Chaos Abyss and sleep for a few hundred years. "
Currently, Sophocles was also cursing inwardly. Wasn't this supposed to be a test? Why was he using a nuclear bomb as his trump card right from the start? He was using a powerful attack right from the start? What kind of test was this?
Of course, Sophocles didn't know that Roland, who had just broken through to Chaos Abyss, only had this trump card that was specifically meant to deal with demons. This was a Holy Light nuclear bomb that he had prepared to deal with any Main God.
Both sides were worried that the Demon Main God would turn the test into an ultimate attack. The result was that the Demon Main God would be fighting at full power right from the get-go.
Sophocles used a powerful attack right from the start, but the other side was still holding back. Was Sophocles just waiting to die?
Sophocles regretted his rashness. His goal was only to test whether or not Roland had a trump card that could threaten a Demon Main God. Not only did Roland have a trump card that could threaten a Demon Main God, Roland even used it on himself.
If Sophocles had known that this would be a fight to the death right from the start, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to die together with Roland. But right now, whoever stopped first would be giving the initiative to their opponent, which would be suicidal.
* Buzz buzz buzz! *
When the extended pure white sword of light clashed with the blood-red light, the entire world was filled with a buzzing sound. After a moment of silence, a giant gray pillar of light shot up into the sky.
This was a gigantic pillar of light that extended endlessly. Even the airship that had left several hours ago could clearly see this pillar of light reaching into the sky.
The next moment, the pillar of light continued to extend even higher, while an even more fatal shockwave began to spread. This shockwave would transform this wasteland into a completely uninhabited area.
The power of Order and Chaos kept clashing and exploding. Even the creatures buried underground would be corroded and baptized.
The shockwave kept spreading out as if it would never end.
Even the airship that was several dozen kilometers away was barely surviving from the shockwave, becoming even more pitiful and damaged.
They should be thankful. If they were still on the ground right now, they probably would have lost their lives already.
Perhaps even a few decades later, this place would still be completely barren.
Just like the Holy Wars of the past, this wasteland, which had once been the battlefield of Main God level powerhouses, would be recorded in history. It would be completely destroyed.
Perhaps in a few years, strange new species would appear here, just like the ancient battlefields of the past.
At the same time that the shockwave exploded, both sides had vanished without a trace.
Twenty minutes later, a charred black body landed on the deck of the airship. His entire body had been burned pitch-black and fiery red. Chaos and Order were still clashing on his physical body. Distorted blood-red mist was still corroding his charred physical body. Anything that got close to his body would either be directly corroded or set on fire.
The nearby guards were astonished and hurriedly went to get water to extinguish the fire. However, someone discovered that the person who just landed seemed rather familiar.
"Isn't that His Highness Roland who just left? Why is he … cooked? "
"As expected of the undying Roland, he's still alive even after being cooked. Wow, he can even glare at people. "
