Chapter 320

"You all heard it, right? The voice in our hearts, it seems to be another command from that person."

Maryse crouched down, reached out, and pointed to her own head.

"This person was always watching us... I was scared for a while, even trying to hide when taking a bath... But later on, I figured it out that the Savior-like being wouldn't have such base desires, so let's just pretend that they are..."

Speaking of this, Maryse fell silent.

She originally wanted to say, "Let's just pretend that He is a very clever and talkative dog."

However, Maryse felt that saying such words at this moment would be risky and would definitely upset Mu Ling, so she decided to let it go.

"Yes, I heard it, of course," Mu Ling nodded gently, looking at Aurora and offering an explanation.

"The Savior's intentions have always been right, and there's no need to question that. Let's go."

She unfolded her fair palm, and on it suddenly appeared a black crystal, which immediately caught everyone's attention. It possessed a peculiar and enchanting charm.

"Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used"

One of the legendary Twenty-Seven Ruin-level Relics.

Even the mighty deities, high and supreme as they were, would yearn for and covet the Ruin-level Relics.

However, the three of them at the scene had no idea what this thing was, but they felt that since it was bestowed by the Savior, it could not be ordinary.

Aurora nodded as well and said, "Then let's follow the command... This area is simply too vast, and so far we have only explored a tiny portion of it. Instead of aimlessly continuing, it would be better to heed the guidance of the great being established in the higher dimensions."

Maryse shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she had no objections.

Even though she had countless frustrations with Him, she fully understood that His commands and advice were always right... and always had been.

They then turned and moved back to the original cloud, which remained the same as ever, with no changes.

Mu Ling cradled the black crystal in her hands and approached slowly.

Only to see, "Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used," responded with a sound.

It floated in mid-air, emitting a gentle white glow. Suddenly, it unleashed an unimaginable, boundless suction force that continuously absorbed the enormous wreckage of the palace before them!

It was like a black hole!

Mu Ling and her two companions looked at this scene with astonishment.

"Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used" continuously transformed the vast wreckage of the palace into specks of light, greedily drawing them into its core. However, this pulling force had no effect on Mu Ling and her companions.

Just like a small mountain of broken walls, it was swiftly devoured, and in a short while, it would become its complete sustenance.

At that moment, Mu Ling furrowed her brow.

She felt a dangerous, scorching heat as if it were burning itself.

Mu Ling immediately exclaimed, "There's something beneath the wreckage of the palace, and I just realized I missed it!"

Both Maryse and Aurora, they were both slightly stunned. There is something actually being pressed beneath the wreckage of this palace?

What could be imprisoned beneath the colossal kingdom's palace?

Whatever it was, it would certainly not be ordinary.

After a moment of silence, Aurora suggested, "Shouldn't we stop for a moment? The thing below seems very dangerous. I could sense that ominous aura, it's quite unsettling, like a dormant volcano about to erupt."

Mu Ling shook her head and said, "I will never defy His command."

Maryse shrugged her shoulders at Aurora, indicating that Mu Ling had always been like that.

Aurora fell silent, having now understood Mu Ling's character.

This young girl was undoubtedly a devout follower of the Savior, though not as fanatical as some of the zealots in the Heavenly God Church. Nonetheless, she was someone who could not be persuaded under any circumstance.

Since that's the case, let's get ready then.

Aurora gently shook her head and smiled, not minding at all.

Mu Ling waited calmly as the remnants on this cloud island were gradually absorbed entirely, extracting the precious "Elements" from within.

"Not right."

Mu Ling had never closed the "NightFall" and she could sense that it was not only the remnants of the palace on this cloud island, but also the remnants of palaces across the entire divine kingdom that were vanishing!

In a short amount of time, this mysterious black crystal of unknown origin astonishingly devoured all the remnants of the palace!

--

On Bai Yan's side, he also spotted the game notification.

"Game tip: Obtained 'Element of Glorious Divinity' (very rare)."

Mu Ling looked at Bai Yan with anticipation, waiting for his response. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke, "Accept it, Mu Ling."

He touched the "Element of Glorious Divinity" with his finger, and soon a prompt for "enchantment" appeared. Bai Yan chose to enchant it onto Mu Ling's "Heart of Death".

And this is the purpose of "Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used"! It strengthens various weapons, tools, relics, and even wonders... In a way, it creates limitless new possibilities and immense hidden value.

Enchantment succeeded.

In the next moment, a new weapon was born from the Babel Tower!

A brand new weapon, forged from nine parts of Glorious Divinity and one part of the essence of death, emerged. It possessed powers far surpassing anything seen before.

The Babel Tower bestowed upon the new weapon the name "Imperial Light Execution."

After inwardly complaining, Bai Yan read the weapon description provided by the Babel Tower, wondering why it wasn't called "Aurora Executioner."

Imperial Light Executioner, "A mighty divine weapon imbued with the power of light, capable of delivering ultimate 'execution' to all manner of evil, including the bizarre, demons, undead, and other such entities. It possesses a strong restraining effect, yet remains unable to harm any benevolent beings."

Bai Yan pondered for a moment, and then smiled.

Hmm.

"This so-called flaw is actually not a flaw at all. How could Mu Ling possibly harm good people? How could I ever allow her to do such a thing... If there really comes a time when a choice must be made, then I will send Hidden Azure and the others to do it."

"Instead of calling it a flaw, it could be seen as a remarkable quality that ensures she never harms the innocent and falls into regret."

Bai Yan, the male character, quickly noticed that the battle scene had already loaded on his phone.

"Oh? It just so happens that we have someone to test the weapons, very good, very good."

--

Mu Ling, the female character, noticed that the black crystal was flying towards her. It emitted a beam of light from within, illuminating the "Heart of Death".

In the next moment, her trusted weapon twisted and blurred.

Maryse exclaimed in surprise, "What is happening?"

Mu Ling fell into silence. Weapons were extremely important for hunters, just like the teeth of a hunting dog. However, she didn't prevent this situation from happening.

She believed it to be the will of the Savior, and therefore saw no need to interfere or resist.

But within a few seconds, the once formidable Heart of Death ceased to exist. In its place, there emerged a slender blade, emitting a faint golden glow. Intricate patterns of rings and wave symbols adorned the blade, transforming it into a work of art rather than a mere weapon.

But the power it held within was unquestionable!

"You... have gotten something good again, huh? Hmph."

Maryse pouted, wanting to step on Mu Ling's feet. She felt a little uneasy inside.

But she also knew that the Savior valued her greatly, showering her with good things. She didn't need to feel jealous at all.

Soon, Maryse realized that she was upset with Mu Ling, but it was actually because of what had happened before... that annoying white-haired cow...

Finally, they saw what lay suppressed beneath the ruins of the divine palace – a dreadful presence.

The voice erupted from the deepest corners of her heart.

[Light God!]

[I have been imprisoned for ten thousand years!]

[You have fallen, never again will you have the chance to imprison me! Today, I rise again under the sun!]

Aurora heard the word "fall" in her heart, her expression grew dim.

Although she had already suspected, when she actually heard the confirmed information, she couldn't hide the sadness and confusion in her heart.

His Majesty, the Light God, has fallen.

"Here they come! Stay focused!" Mu Ling shouted sharply.

In the depths of the clouds, a gigantic three-headed monster, standing over ten meters tall, suddenly appeared.

Its skin was entirely crimson, blazing with fiery flames, as it leaped up suddenly from the bottom of the palace ruins!

In the next moment, the monster had already fallen before the three of them. Flames engulfed its body, accompanied by a tremendous shockwave that even scattered a fair amount of the white clouds below.

Its voice erupted from deep within the hearts of the people, like the sound of an abyss, bringing a bone-chilling sensation.

[I am the Demon Duke, Ernie,]

The three heads of the Demon Duke were all smiling joyfully.

[Thanks to all of you, you have freed me from the shackles of the gods,]

[This great kindness, even though I am a demon, I must repay it.]

Maryse's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "So, is there really a reward?"

[Hahaha!]

[Greed truly is a common trait between mortals and demons...]

The voice of the Demon Duke gradually grew deep and distorted, filled with malice.

["Humans, half-elves, as a reward, bow down and become my slaves... Otherwise, you will become my prey, merging into one!"]

This Demon Lord truly has ill intentions!

Actually, from its appearance, Mu Ling and her two companions were extremely vigilant. Their intuitions were simmering, sensing the darkness and threat from each other.

This was a presence even stronger than higher-ranking demons, a Demon Lord, an incredibly powerful being, even at the level of a Duke.

In the vastness of the multiverse, every Demon Lord possesses a soul connected to the "Creation Realm." Demons are undoubtedly a powerful race.

It gazed upon the three lowly females with vigilant postures, a voice of excitement echoing once again deep within their hearts.

["Hehehe, your refusal to surrender is exactly what I desire,"]

[I have long yearned to taste the succulent flesh... Power must be restored immediately]

The Demon Duke gazed at Aurora, then suddenly burst into wild laughter, filled with absolute joy!

[His chosen one? Hahaha! I shall not kill you, but instead torment you in a thousand ways! Fall into darkness!]

Mu Ling calmly raised her sword, her gaze sharper than the newly forged weapon itself, and spoke, "Demon... words will avail you naught!"

Deep Blue World.

Time stood still.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Ling found herself behind the Demon Lord. The slender blade, emitting a faint glow, effortlessly severed all three of its heads.

The towering demon slowly fell, and from its headless necks, flames spewed forth. The three rolling heads turned into ashes.

It appeared as though he had died.

"Is this all?"

Maryse felt incredulous. How could someone with such an imposing presence have only a power level of one?

Aurora extended her hand, and golden light transformed into a lance in her grasp. She said, "It's not over yet. The power of the Demon Duke goes far beyond this... Although it should have only a little strength remaining, nowhere near its prime."

Mu Ling nodded as well.

The crimson corpse before them gradually dissipated, eventually turning into smoke and dispersing into nothingness.

However, not a single one of them let their guard down.

"..."

After a few seconds, Mu Ling took a deep breath and said, "I sensed it... It's right beneath us, be cautious."

"Roarrr!"

Suddenly, a tremendous roar, like the roaring of thunder, came from below.

Although the sound was loud, it seemed to be quite far away from the three girls.

And then, there came a brand new roar!

"Roarrr!"

This time, the sound became even bigger and closer, but they still couldn't see the figure of the other side.

This time, there was silence.

The nearly ten seconds of silence created an illusion, as if, that guy didn't have any intention to attack after all?

"Here he comes!" Mu Ling suddenly shouted!

A colossal creature rose abruptly in front of the three of them, resembling towering mountains. It appeared like a scarlet mountain range that suddenly emerged from the ground, with an unimaginably huge body, completely blocking their entire field of vision.

"Roarrr!"

A thunderous roar exploded in the ears of the three of them, like a sudden clap of thunder on a calm day! It caused their eardrums to ache!

The Demon Duke, towering thousands of meters high, had transformed into a terrifying Flame Giant. Its three colossal heads consisted of a pitch-black serpent head, a man's head adorned with two pentagrams on its forehead, and a fierce bull head with a blood-red single eye. In its right hand, it held a burning fire gem, while its mount beneath it was a hellish serpent engulfed in red smoke.

[Ahwooo, the night...]

The ancient language of demons echoed heavily, as if the roar of a mountain and the roar of the sea, sending a shiver down one's spine.

No one knew what the Demon Duke was saying.

A crimson arm, stretching nearly a kilometer long, descended from the sky and abruptly seized a distant cluster of clouds-forming a "solitary island." Instantly, the cloud island burst into fierce flames.

Its colossal body hung suspended in the air, while another crimson arm descended from the heavens. Within its palm, the fire gem resembled a scorching mountain peak, hurtling downward, poised to crush the three minuscule humans and half-elves into minced meat.

"That's incredible! The power is simply extraordinary!"

Maryse stuck out her tongue, holding her head and letting out a loud scream, instantly vanishing without a trace through "Deep Red - Divine Punishment."

Mu Ling remained calm, showing no signs of fear.

She could feel the brand new blade trembling slightly in her hand, not with fear, but with excitement and anger!

If the opponent is an evil creature.

It is able to unleash power several times greater than usual!

"Thank you for your gift, Savior... This weapon suits me perfectly," Mu Ling's face revealed an inconspicuous smile.

Aurora saw the descending crimson arm from the sky, and she had no idea what to do.

How could something like this ever triumph?

After receiving the Savior's gift, she had grown significantly stronger, but still didn't think she could battle the sealed Demon Duke.

Within the descending arm, the clenched Fire Ruby spewed forth a scorching heat capable of melting everything in its path.

The heat had approached right in front of her.

Just as Aurora didn't know what to do, her body suddenly became uncontrollable.

It seemed like someone was controlling her body, forcing Aurora to swiftly charge forward, using the Chosen Gun. In an instant, a radiant divine power protected Aurora, shielding her from the harm of the flames.

However, the invincible time of the Chosen Gun was fleeting. Aurora understood this well.

After the Fire Ruby in the giant palm descends, everything on this "Cloud Island" will be consumed by flames. How long can one survive in this sea of fire?

Suddenly, Aurora witnessed an incredible scene.

The silver-haired girl in black clothes turned into a faint light and soared into the air!

She was like a blade itself,

In an instant, they darted through the Demon Lord's colossal palm like a mountain peak.

In the next moment, the crimson palm snapped clean at its base!

"What a powerful force... even a demigod would not be so strong..."

Aurora felt a bit bewildered, gaining a newfound understanding of the strength of this "senior".

Mu Ling felt the blade in her hand, and in the moment it became tainted with demon blood, she could sense its weight for real.

"Do you really enjoy defeating evil?"

The three heads on the immensely huge Demon Duke's neck, one was angrily laughing, another was wailing and going mad, while the third one gazed coldly at Mu Ling who had arrived in mid-air.

In the next moment, the Fire Jade in Mu Ling's broken palm flew up as if it were a rising meteor of flames, a wicked miniature sun, swiftly shooting towards Mu Ling in the sky.

She showed no fear whatsoever.

Deep Blue World was once again invoked, and the diminutive figure found itself on the shoulder of the Demon Lord. The strike had already been executed in the suspended moment of time.

As if a one-eyed bull, the head suddenly tumbled down, and a grand fountain of scorching blood rained down endlessly.

[Ayawawa... King of Deep Blue... What are you all?]

The Demon Lord angrily roared, attempting to swing his unhurt arm, only to realize that he couldn't lift it at all.

It paused for a moment, astonished to discover that the tiniest female half-elf was standing on its own arm.

[Hehe, I can't let the younger ones underestimate me...]

Maryse's voice reached the senses of the demon as well as the hearts of her two human companions.

[Silly creature, I had been unable to find a target all this time. Let's see what happens when I enhance my own strength.]

Maryse boasted with confidence, her face beaming, as if the towering demon was nothing more than a practice target, unworthy of mention.

With her diligent practice, clever talent, life-or-death battles, and... the additional blessings from the Savior, Deep Red - Divine Punishment had already reached the realm of perfection.

Its power, of course, should not be underestimated.

"Deep Red - Divine Punishment!"

In the next moment, to the astonishment of the Demon Duke, a crimson arm stretching nearly a kilometer long broke loose uncontrollably from an invisible force and plummeted down.

["Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Insignificant ants!"]

The Demon Duke roared in anger, unable to comprehend why two Crown level mortals possessed such high-grade power from the Outer God.

And they were even mingling with that wretched chosen one of the benevolent deity?

"Why is this happening?" the protagonist wondered aloud.

Aurora fell silent.

She fully realized something.

No matter what kind of being the Savior is and what their purpose is, the mysterious organization known as "Babel Tower"... truly stands as a formidable force!

So, what she needed to do...

There was only one answer now.
