“Freedom is the greatest pursuit in the world. All rules will be broken!” Augustus’ appearance shook everyone present. A silver light had engulfed the entire battlefield. The entire scene looked several times grander than when Cosmic Dragon had used his Seal Curse Spell.
Augustus waved his hand as the light spread throughout the valley. A protective s.h.i.+eld appeared to surround the valley’s circ.u.mference. The s.h.i.+eld ensured that the valley could no longer be attacked by any being below the Celestial rank. To the players, this region had become the Nephilim race’s occupation point in the Celestial race’s territory. It was the equivalent of an enemy city.
“This…” The Light Faction players were dumbfounded. If the Nephilim race’s territory could not be attacked, the players would have wasted their time. If they had known, they would have continued to fight against the Dark Faction players on the battlefield in the outskirts to gain Experience points.
However, right then, a silvery beam of moonlight flashed before them. A beautiful figure had appeared at a location not too far from across Augustus.
“Augustus, you have crossed the line!” The Moon G.o.d frowned as she spoke. Although the Light and Dark Factions were engaged in battle, Celestial beings were not supposed to be involved in these pre-wars.
“Hahaha, I have told you before. All rules were meant to be broken! Diana, step aside. Get Thor to speak to me if he has anything to say at all!” Augustus chuckled.
“Augustus, remove your spell immediately. If you do not, I won’t hold back!” Moon G.o.d Diana’s frown deepened. The Divine Light G.o.d had disappeared. Otherwise, Diana would not have shown up.
The Moon G.o.d had been under house arrest due to her scandal with the Dragon G.o.d. In spite of that, she was still one of the most powerful leaders in the Light Faction. During such times of trial, the Divine Light G.o.d was nowhere to be found. Therefore, the Moon G.o.d had no choice but to face Augustus on her own.
“Hehehe… Diana, my little sister. Thor had mistreated you so badly. Why are you still cleaning up after his mess?” Another figure appeared next to Augustus. It was the Nephilim Queen Aurora.
“What’s going on today? Is this a gathering of the Celestials?” Jiang Fei mumbled to himself.
“It seems that my father has decided to engage in the final battle!” Elder Prince Otis said as he suddenly appeared next to Jiang Fei.
“That’s good. The earlier we end this, the better!” Jiang Fei smiled. It was a battle between Celestials. Both Jiang Fei and the Light Faction’s players on the ground were only observers. There was no way they could partic.i.p.ate.
“What is the meaning of this? Are you two planning to fight against me?” Moon G.o.d Diana frowned yet again. Even the Nephilim Queen Aurora would be a difficult opponent for Diana, let alone the Nephilim King Augustus. If the two of them fought against Diana, who was on her own, she would definitely be done for.
“If the cowardly Thor doesn’t show up, I suggest you surrender. Otherwise, you might not make it back alive today!” Augustus warned.
“Of course, you could also get your lover Bennette Straz to show up!” The Nephilim Queen’s words pierced through Diana’s heart like a sharp blade. The Dragon G.o.d’s disappearance in the face of the Dragon race’s annihilation had terribly affected Diana. Now that it was mentioned yet again, Diana felt as if someone had rubbed salt into her wound.
“Hmph! Augustus, aren’t you ashamed? You two are working together to bully a lady!” Right then, an angry voice could be heard. A very strong force of energy swept over the entire land.
“Who is that?!” The Nephilim King and Nephilim Queen were both shocked. All of the four leaders of the Light and Dark Factions were Lower Celestials, including the Nephilim King, the Nephilim Queen, the Divine Light G.o.d, and the Moon G.o.d. However, the might exerted by the person who had just appeared belonged to someone with the capabilities of an Intermediate Celestial. The Nephilim King and Nephilim Queen could not possibly defeat this person.
Moreover, from the tone of his voice, this person was definitely hostile.
“Oh no!” Jiang Fei thought to himself. Although he had met several Celestial rank individuals, most of them were only at the Lower Celestial rank. The only Intermediate Celestial he had ever met was the Dragon G.o.d Bennette Straz.
“Old man, stop hiding. Let’s fight them together!” Augustus said warily.
“I can’t believe this happened. Looks like we’ll have to fight for our lives!” A gush of water appeared as Poseidon finally showed up. Apart from him, the Mermaid Queen Sarahsia had also joined the battle.
The Nephilim King and Emperor Poseidon originally planned to ambush the Divine Light G.o.d and the Moon G.o.d. With four against two, they would have had the upper hand in battle. However, the Divine Light G.o.d did not show up. Instead, an even stronger Intermediate Celestial had arrived.
Although the Nephilim Queen Aurora could keep the Moon G.o.d occupied, the remaining Lower Celestials might not be able to defeat the Intermediate Celestial.
“Awesome! Everyone’s here! You may all die together!” With a loud cry, a meteor crashed into the ground from the sky. Flames surrounded the meteor as the figure of a man appeared in the center of the huge pit.
It was a ten-meter tall Demon with a pair of fleshy wings behind his back. There were frightful looking spurs all over his body. The Demon was also holding a giant mace in his hand. He was none other than the Demon King Ulysses.
“Ulysses, why are you here?!” The Nephilim King and Emperor Poseidon were both speechless. Neither of them had expected the bloodthirsty Demon would be involved.
“d.a.m.n!” Jiang Fei immediately stored the Abraham, Destroyer of Kingdoms, into his spatial ring when he heard Ulysses’ name.
If Ulysses found out that Jiang Fei had killed Dhakasoron, the Demon King would definitely not spare his life as Sharaz had done. Although Jiang Fei’s t.i.tle of Romeo was virtually G.o.d-like, it did not work on males. Ulysses would show no mercy to Jiang Fei for the sake of avenging his son’s death.
“Eh?!” Ulysses frowned when he sensed, for a short moment, the presence of his race’s Holy Item, Abraham, Destroyer of Kingdoms. However, the aura which he picked up disappeared in an instant. Ulysses felt very confused.
Ulysses shook his head to clear his mind. He then s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to the four Lower Celestials before him.
“Although I do not like Thor’s fake personality, he is still my son-in-law. Did you think of me when you planned your schemes to bully his people?” Ulysses asked as he smashed his mace into the ground.
“Son-in-law?!” The Nephilim King and Emperor Poseidon were shocked. Neither of them knew that the Divine Light G.o.d had formed an alliance with the Demon race. The Divine Light G.o.d was way too cunning. By forming an alliance with the Demon race, the Celestial race had acquired an advantage in the war.
The situation was bad enough for the Nephilim King and Emperor Poseidon. However, right then, a ball of flame appeared. Another Celestial’s aura could be sensed near the battlefield. In fact, the Celestial’s aura had appeared next to Elder Prince Otis.
“Don’t even think about hurting my son!” The Nephilim King shouted angrily. As the Third Prince Curtis had been a.s.sa.s.sinated, Otis was the Nephilim King’s only surviving successor.
