Not far away, the black patterns on the body of the "King of Immortality" Agalito, who was locked in fierce combat with Cavendish Lancer Pinto, rapidly faded, and the dark blue Hellfire dimmed by several shades, revealing skin as pale as a corpse.
His half-Demonized body staggered, then was struck by the "Sword of Dawn" that followed, and after the sudden burst of light storm ended, a deep pit appeared at the edge of the small island.
As the light dissipated, dark blue flames lingered in the deep pit, and Agalito's body was completely Demonized; the curved ram horns on his head broke off in the middle, and viscous black liquid flowed out, corroding small holes in the bottom of the pit.
The black patterns that originally covered his body extracted Agalito's Demon power, converging at the heart of this Demon body.
But he was much better off than the other crew members; at least, having already advanced to Demigod, he would not instantly lose the power to resist, and he was not without recourse regarding the Demon seed planted in his body by the Death Knell.
It was just that this sudden backstab caused the Desire Seed, which Agalito had planted in Cavendish Lancer Pinto's body by trading injuries, to die in the womb before it could take effect.
This Demon Hunter in front of him was like a persistent plaster; whether it was the opponent's unique Sequence ability or a corresponding Sealed Artifact he wore, his most proficient fallen mind had little effect.
Although Demons possess physiques and spell-like abilities that rank among the top at the same level, they are more Apprentice and prefer spiritual confrontations.
Compared to the Desire Apostle stage, Demons no longer need to wait for the other party to experience emotional fluctuations or rising desires; they can directly plunge specific targets or all targets within a certain range into a hallucinatory state through sounds, gazes, actions, and other means.
Under the Expediting of the Desire Seed, emotions and desires would rapidly expand, then either ignite the mind, destroy reason, or lead to loss of control.
But when facing a Demon Hunter who had made full preparations in advance, all of this seemed like the dying struggles of prey.
Agalito's scarlet eyes lost focus for a moment, then were quickly filled with resentment, ruthlessness, and anger.
As a servant of the Death Knell, he was well aware of his position, nothing more than a more delicious food, and although he achieved Demigod with the help of the Death Knell, his essence had not changed.
And for the Death Knell to instantly abandon all its crew members, even including himself, a food source so painstakingly cultivated, this could only mean that the existence on this island was even more terrifying.
Although this was bad news, if used well, it might be the best opportunity to escape the Death Knell.
With his thoughts racing, Agalito suppressed the restless heart that seemed ready to burst from his body at any moment, while using "Corrupting Words" and various Demon domain spells to guide Cavendish Lancer Pinto to shift the battlefield to the other side of the small island, away from the Death Knell.
Aaron caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, the corner of his mouth curving upwards, and his figure was immediately enveloped by dark mist, entering a hidden state; he did not want to participate in the battle between the Blatherer and the Scholar of Yore, and also wanted to see how far Cavendish Lancer Pinto's strength had reached.
He himself possessed the "Demon Button" and was well aware of the Demon's perception of impending danger, so Aaron proactively entered a hidden state and approached another battlefield.
The Sea, always shrouded in mist, was occupied by viscous black mist and incessant terrifying blathering, as if blocked by some invisible barrier, and the spreading momentum was forcibly interrupted.
"Betrayal…"
Feeling Agalito's aura getting farther and farther away, and having failed to extract the crucial Demigod "Demon Seed," the countless mouths on the massive Demon head formed by the Death Knell simultaneously opened and closed, emitting a roar as if from Hell.
As other "Demon Seeds" in the form of blood-colored crystals merged, the viscous black mist lifted the massive Demon head, like a Demon crawling out of the Abyss, and two masses of deep red light appeared on the head without specific facial features.
Without the protection of the hidden state, the Sequence 3 level Demon perception made this Blatherer truly aware of the danger of death, and he decisively sacrificed the food he had cultivated, in exchange for a period of peak state.
A historical void image of the Sun Chaser Scepter had already appeared in Cavendish Lancer Pinto's hand, and looking at the Blatherer who was spreading infinite corrupting aura, his indifferent eyes revealed undisguised disgust.
Spirit Body Threads surged in the viscous black mist; they all came from the devoured "Demon Seeds." Although Cavendish Lancer Pinto could also influence the battle by manipulating Spirit Body Threads, at the same time, the Abyss pollution attached to the Spirit Body Threads would also inversely corrode his own spirituality.
The Sun Chaser Scepter surged with endless light, as if it had suddenly transformed into the Sun descending into reality; its pure and clear light transformed the surrounding area into a shadowless, evil-free, Unshadowed Domain.
The corrupting words spewed from the Blatherer's countless mouths and the viscous black mist that could corrupt all things were enveloped by the "Ocean of Light," preventing this terrifying pollution from affecting the outside world.
One after another, intensely white arrows of light emerged, expanding into miniature Suns large enough to illuminate a city, piercing through the Blatherer's body; flames collided with black mist, and countless wronged souls were annihilated.
The corrupting words, enough to pollute a Demigod, had no effect on Cavendish Lancer Pinto; they seemed to have been separated and isolated to another space by the Balancer's Angel projection.
Feeling the limitations imposed on him by that strange Angel projection, as well as the "Ocean of Light" and the arrows of light that had reformed not far away, emitting infinite purifying power.
On the Blatherer's head, formed by the Death Knell, mouths spewing corrupting words exploded one after another; the black blood flowing down fell into the viscous black mist, and a gigantic illusory altar, somewhat similar to the array pattern carved in the center of the island, instantly appeared, enveloping the Blatherer.
As a high-level Demon closest to Angels, having escaped from the Abyss, he naturally knew more about array patterns for sacrificing to Demons; feeling that he had no way out, he chose to sacrifice a part of his own body in exchange for the help of an existence in the Abyss.
In the eyes of Demons, life is insignificant, but this obviously does not include their own lives; as long as they can escape from here, any price is worth paying.
The viscous black mist was tinged with a bloody hue, like a passage to the Abyss, and a blood-colored hand that covered the sky emerged from the black mist; even through the barrier constructed by the Balancer, an uncontrollable fear still appeared in the hearts of all living beings.
On the other side of the island, Aaron withdrew the "Sword of Judgment" from Agalito's corpse, and Cavendish Lancer Pinto threw the massive Demon body, still lingering with some dark blue flames, onto the ground.
His left arm, not holding the "Sword of Dawn," was corroded by the pitch-black blood, and his palm held a still-beating pitch-black heart; black mist lingered, emitting an aura that corrupted everything.
Nothing further was exuded from Agalito's fully Demonized body, as if everything, including his Beyonder characteristic, had been stripped away by the "Demon Seed."
Unlike the Beyonder characteristics condensed in the past, the "Demon Seed" seemed to strip away even vitality; although there would be a certain degree of loss, if time was seized, the required lifespan could still be extracted from it.
Aaron satisfactorily took this Demigod-level "Demon Seed," and after sealing it with layers of Spirit Body Walls, he turned his head to look at the distant Sea, suppressing the fear in his heart and the constantly surging blood in his body, and couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows; it seemed a big fellow had arrived!
Aaron turned his head and had Cavendish Lancer Pinto, who had already disengaged from his demigod mythical creature form, take Agalito's corpse and lead the Dawn's crew to clear out the remaining crew members who had come down from the Death Knell earlier.
As one of the Four Kings, Agalito and his subordinates could provide a generous bounty; this money was also the development fund Aaron intended to leave for the Dawn, as he couldn't possibly pay the crew empty wages.
Cavendish Lancer Pinto looked somewhat complexly at Agalito, who had already become a corpse; the great revenge for his family's annihilation had been repaid, and the mental flaw that had troubled him for decades, even becoming a flaw after his advancement to Demigod, had completely ceased to exist.
The potion shattered and digested within his body; Cavendish Lancer Pinto, who was two or three heads taller than Aaron, knelt on one knee, said nothing, and after respectfully kowtowing, carried the Demon corpse on the ground and rushed towards the other end of the island.
Aaron satisfactorily withdrew his gaze from Cavendish Lancer Pinto's receding figure, and his own figure gradually faded, heading towards the main battlefield.
The blood-colored giant palm extending from the depths of Hell's Abyss directly shattered the incoming Sun Chasing Arrows; accompanied by the pervasive aura of bloodlust and slaughter, a giant Abyss mouth opened in the center of the palm, and it turned back to tear off a small half of the Blatherer's body.
This was the price of his forced summoning of a Sequence 2 Bloody Archduke; if he were in the Abyss, what would have been devoured just now would have been his entire body.
His expression remained calm; Cavendish Lancer Pinto slowly raised his empty left hand and dragged a figure out of the historical mist.
It was a voluptuous and graceful lady; even if her face was somewhat blurred, everyone who had seen this figure would not stint on their effusive praise, as if she represented the most beautiful things in the world.
That was the Empress of the Trunsoest Empire, Sequence 1 Beauty Goddess, Blood Moon Queen Auernia!
In these past few months, with the aid of the hidden history of the second epoch and third epoch provided by Aaron, he had digested most of the Scholar of Yore's potion, and the number of historical void images he could maintain simultaneously had increased from two to three.
But not to mention the maintenance time was less than a quarter of an hour, and there was not much time left; Cavendish Lancer Pinto was planning to use the Empress's historical projection to end the battle quickly.
The blathering echoing throughout the space seemed to have weakened by several shades, as the Beauty Goddess continuously radiated tranquil light outwards.
A Blood Moon appeared, standing side by side with the original crimson Moon in the night sky, like the eye of an existence.
The first to notice the anomaly was instead the blood-colored arm extending from the Abyss black mist; it seemed to have sensed a certain aura engraved deep within its soul, and directly abandoned the delicious sacrifice that was at its mouth.
Under the Blatherer's incredulous gaze, it transformed into a blood-colored torrent, drilling into the viscous black mist that seemed to connect to the Abyss, and no matter how much the Blatherer called, it no longer responded.
The second to notice the anomaly was Cavendish Lancer Pinto; looking at the two red Moons rising in the sky, his face distorted for the first time.
That "Crimson Moon" was not just a full Moon; it was closer to a Blood Moon, even exceeding it, and an indescribable spiritual power was born from it.
An eerie and distorted feeling lingered in his heart; even holding the projection of the Sun Chaser Scepter, Cavendish Lancer Pinto could feel the evil thoughts in his heart expanding, and felt that an unimaginable change was brewing within his body.
This change was not only the influence of the Crimson Moon in the sky, but more so the inverse influence of the Beauty Goddess historical void image he summoned on the summoner.
Aaron, who had already arrived near the central battlefield, was even more sensitive to this change; not even a Demigod, he could clearly feel his belly swelling little by little, and only felt the pulse of life slowly condensing inside, trying to take shape.
The Moon's authority itself includes reproduction and proliferation!
And after the Mother Tree of Desire gained control of part of the Moon's authority, this authority was infected with an exceptionally sinister quality, even more sinister than before…
Muttering a curse inwardly, Aaron was about to mobilize the sub-consciousness left within his original body to give himself a holy purification with the Sun Chaser Scepter, when the Darkness Mark on his wrist suddenly glowed, and Darkness surged out like a tide, clearing the pollution Aaron had received.
Because the Bloody Archduke unilaterally canceled the sacrificial ritual, the Blatherer, already severely injured, suffered another backlash; under the illumination of the eerie crimson moonlight, voices seemed to appear in his consciousness.
Within his massive, bloated body, distorted and wriggling blood-colored flesh masses, which seemed to be formed from the "Demon Seeds" he had previously devoured, were also the source of the voices in his consciousness.
Thanks to the inherent limitations of the historical void image, the transmitted pollution only contained partial power and characteristics; Cavendish Lancer Pinto, relying on the purifying power emitted by the Sun Chaser Scepter, barely managed to withstand the first wave of invasion, not experiencing a direct collapse of consciousness like the Blatherer.
However, his face became increasingly grim, not only because of the pollution invasion he suffered, but also because he suddenly discovered that he was unable to release the maintenance of the Beauty Goddess historical void image; things had already spiraled out of his control.
Even though he had interrupted the spiritual supply to the historical void image, the Crimson Moon in the sky and the Blatherer on the Sea, who was on the verge of collapse, seemed to be continuously providing power to the Beauty Goddess historical void image he had summoned.
The projection of the Sun Chaser Scepter's maintenance time was about to end; Cavendish Lancer Pinto glanced at Aaron, who was shrouded in Darkness at the edge of the battlefield, sighed in his heart, and a look of determination gradually appeared in his eyes.
Just as he was about to do something, an inexplicable joy suddenly rose in his heart; it was the joy of all things growing and new life arriving.
The "Crimson Moon" in the sky dimmed by several shades, as if a large amount of its brilliance had been sucked away by someone.
The mist in this Sea area dissipated, and another Moon appeared in the night sky; the color of this Moon was no longer the previous crimson, but a pure white, exceptionally bright.
