The altar had been frozen and melted by 'Snow Goddess's Forgiveness', leaving only the thin layer of bricks in front of the Blue Gate. The gold trident, 'Emperor's Grasp', was lying there quietly. The blue of the 'key' and the gold of the trident were reflecting each other.
Suddenly, the gold trident flew up as if somebody had raised it. Then, a hand that was full of black scales protruded out of the trident, with flames that emitted the intense smell of sulfur burning on it.
This hand seemed to be wearing a flaming glove. The knuckles were distinct, and each knuckle had a pale white bone spur. Each spur was engraved with strange and complicated patterns. At the same time, the long pale nails were like swords of death and destruction. Just by looking at them, one would feel that they were indestructible.
As the hand protruded, a fuzzy shadow gradually appeared in the air behind it. It was dozens of meters tall, and the black wings on its back completely enshrouded the place where the palace used to be. The shadow of death was rising all of a sudden.
It had two goat-like horns on its head, exuding an extremely evil, extremely terrifying, and extremely powerful aura, making the surrounding void seem both illusory and real. Countless volcanoes protruded, lava erupted, black smoke billowed, and the deep blue ocean set off waves after waves of tsunamis that could destroy countries.
In the meantime, the world that was burning nonstop, the bottomless chasm, the silent plains that were covered in snow, the stinky, rotten swamps, and other planes of hell became clear. It seemed that the entire ninth floor of hell had arrived here.
Evil, cold, and unpredictable songs came over from the dark river that ran through the ninth floor of hell. Aglaea, Lucien, and Natasha all felt that their souls were empty, as if their lives had come to an end, and they couldn't wait to enter the final destination after death.
The ninth floor of hell was a tomb of the deceased that was entirely different from the World of Souls. It was an evil place under the control of devils!
Except for the believers of devils, no creatures were willing to fall into hell after death, because it meant that they would either become the food of the devils or disperse, leaving only the evilness in their heart, which would be melted with the 'origin' of hell and give birth to new devils.
Since the War of Dawn, the Lord of Hell had almost arrived on the ground in one piece for the first time and was no longer suppressed by the main material world!
However, his head was still unclear, and only the crimson eyes that seemed to be full of mockery could be seen. Also, his legs were not his real body but the legs of a murloc, with deep blue membranes between his toes. It seemed that although he had arrived with most of his strength, he couldn't come with his real body if he wanted to be able to arrive stably in the future. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use Harex's body. Therefore, although Maltidis was a demigod right now, he was not in his peak state.
The Blue light was about to be unfolded. Immediately, the Blue Gate of the Blue key, was affected by the Blue Gate... Under the influence of that, the Blue light of of of the Blue of the Gate slightly of the Blue gate.......... under the influence of that, the of the Blue gate of of the Gate be affected, of the of the Gate of the gate 'of the the the the of the gate, of the Gate's.....
Right then, Lucien and Natasha suddenly said in a high and obscure voice, "Reunite!"
Just now, the two of them did not choose "Reunite" directly because the Lord of Hell couldn't hide. Therefore, they were worried that the Lord of Hell would suppress or interrupt them when they performed "Reunite". Therefore, Lucien and Natasha chose to flash and fly backward safely, observing the opportunity and waiting for an opportunity to escape.
When Maltidis revealed himself on the altar and raised the gold trident, the two of them realized that danger and opportunity were coming at the same time. Without any hesitation, they activated the "Reunite" that they had enchanted themselves with in advance. It was a "Reunite" in their own home!
Two clusters of light glowed, and the two of them disappeared from where they were at the same time. At this moment, the hazy blueness had just been activated.
Neither of them paid any attention to Aglaea, the elven queen. Compared to the two of them who were only level-three and level-one legends, she would at least be able to fight back against a demigod. Also, she had been standing at the edge of the hollow and could retreat at any moment.
Faced with a demigod who did not have a major weapon such as "God's Arrival", as long as the top legends were not stupid enough to fight the enemy head-on, it was still possible for them to resist the enemy for dozens of seconds and find an opportunity to escape. Also, after the status transformation, Aglaea's strength had been greatly improved. She was almost as strong as Douglas now.
After using "Reunite", Lucien felt that he was mired in a strange "world" that was both dark and bright. He could not sense the outside world clearly anymore. He only felt that his body was passing through a "curtain" that was even weirder in a certain weird way. In the blink of an eye, the fuzzy shadows of magic towers seemed to appear in front of him. Some were horizontal, some were vertical, and some were slanted. They occupied his entire "horizon".
Having used "Reunite" many times, Lucien knew that this was the destination. It was his "Babel".
Just as he was about to enter the magic tower, a giant hand that seemed to be wearing a flaming glove suddenly reached out from the dark and bright background. The strong smell of sulfur assailed his nostrils, and the pale fingernails seemed to be about to cut his body and soul into pieces!
"How is this possible?" In Lucien's shock, he felt that the magic power around was completely shattered by the giant hand of the Lord of Hell, and he was directly broken out of the state of "Reunite"!
Could "Reunite" be interrupted like that? No wonder the Lord of Hell was so cunning that he did not prevent them from escaping with legendary spells such as "Reunite" but simply activated the Blue Gate with "Emperor's Grasp"!
This was the first time that Lucien had faced a demigod for real. He was both shocked and appalled by their level and their "high-end" that was different from legendary.
The time and space around them changed, and the blue seawater was shaking softly below their feet. Hardly had Lucien and Natasha appeared when the fiery hand that was full of black scales extended out of the void and snatched at the two of them. The terrifying air twisted the landscape around, giving the feeling that hell had arrived!
The pale fingernails that represented death and destruction extended abruptly and slashed to Lucien's side like sharp swords.
Faced with the seemingly common fingernails, Lucien had no doubt that, as long as he was hit by them, his body, and his soul would fall into eternal silence at the same time. That was the instant kill of a demigod for anyone below the peak of legendary!
Right then, a mirror that was full of complicated patterns appeared next to Lucien and blocked the pale fingernails precisely.
Crack. The mirror that seemed to contain another world was broken without any struggle, but the pale fingernails bounced back a little bit!
The "Abrupt Reverse" that Lucien performed earlier had never been consumed, so it played a critical role right now. As the ultimate defense of rebound, even though it could only block the attack for a brief moment, it still carried out its uniqueness and bounced back the fingernails of the Lord of Hell.
Seizing the opportunity, Lucien said solemnly in the telepathic bond, "Shield of Truth!"
In the meantime, Lucien snapped his right hand and cast a spell. "Storm Barrier!"
The sky was immediately dark, and the tides were surging. However, in the middle of the lightning and thunder, there was no sound of wind or rain. The only thing that could be heard was a lifeless vacuum that enshrouded the devilish hand, Lucien, and Natasha at the same time.
A small and delicate black shield appeared in Natasha's left hand. Her face was calm, and her eyes were focused. She did not think about anything beyond the battle, such as failure or the destruction of the Shield of Truth.
Frost was condensed on the fiery hand, but it was quickly melted and grabbed the Shield of Truth!
Illusionary ripples spread out on the black shield, as if Lucien and Natasha had been isolated to another time and space.
Crack, crack, crack. Deep cracks appeared on the surface of the shield that had beautiful and delicate patterns. The illusionary ripples were also cracking.
That was the formidability of demigods!
Lucien, who had passed the buffering time, raised his right hand and said solemnly,
"Positron Cannon!"
The sound seemed to be from the foundation of the matter and the quakes of the particles. It was weird but vast.
Natasha, who cooperated with Lucien, quickly retreated the Shield of Truth that was about to be broken when he cast the spell. She flew backward and avoided the center of the explosion. In the meantime, she pulled Lucien's Grand Arcana Robe and retreated together with him.
Lucien had to perform "Positron Cannon" at such a distance. As long as he could help Natasha block the most violent energy storm, everything would be fine. After all, the appendix was still at home …
As Natasha flew backward, darkness appeared outside of Lucien's right hand, as if a magnetic field was twisting the scene. Countless uncanny objects surged out of the void and condensed into fiery electric currents, which then interweaved into a crimson pillar of light.
Bam. In a soundless explosion, the pillar of light where fiery electric currents flowed was shot out and hit the devilish hand that had broken the defense of the Shield of Truth!
The scales on the giant hand were opened. The darkness and coldness seemed to be able to block any attack.
When the "Positron Cannon" hit the black scales, the sky and the earth suddenly changed from darkness to daylight.
Boom!
An unimaginable explosion burst out. Even beyond the vacuum, the waves and the space seemed to be shaking. The scales that should've blocked the attack had a reaction with the fiery pillar of light. Then, the structure was destroyed.
The energy release that was even more thorough than nuclear fusion raised a storm that could destroy everything, destroying the "Storm Barrier" instantly.
The passive effects on Lucien's Robe of Grand Arcana were activated one after another. The triggered spells such as "Magic Trigger" and "Spell Sequencer" were all activated.
Crack, crack, crack. Lucien and Natasha blinked to somewhere far away in broken noises. Their faces were equally pale, their mouths were bleeding, and their clothes were heavily damaged.
Without any unnecessary sighs, Lucien simply jumped into his "Atomic Universe" with Natasha. That was the advantage of being a legendary sorcerer. They had a shelter at all times, as long as they were not near the Blue Gate or in the special places like the Realm of Gates.
Appearing before "Babel", Lucien simply turned on the defense of the entire demiplane. It was impenetrable.
It was not until this moment that the two of them were truly relieved. They were finally out of danger. Demigods truly deserved to be at the top level.
"If we hadn't retreated in advance and blocked the attack with the legendary armor and the Robe of Grand Arcana, the outcome would've been …" Natasha was not scared at all. Instead, she said in fascination, as if she were full of curiosity and yearning for the level of demigods.
Lucien coughed and wiped the blood on his lips. "Let's inform Mr. President, our teacher, and Granny Hathaway first. The arrival of the Lord of Hell is truly a great event. If the elven queen is still in danger, we can save her too. As a matter of fact, I feel that it was rather easy for us to escape. I thought that we had to use all our life-saving methods, but as it turned out …"
Natasha nodded and said, deep in thought, "I also feel that the Lord of Hell did not try his best. Perhaps he was distracted by the elven queen?"
