Guild Wars-Novel



Neither Satan nor the Demon Gods could see the details of the Celestial Symbol, but if they could they would not be as calm. While the Demon Gods did not have much to fear since they were powerful enough to shrug off Eva's power due to the intricacies of the True God level, Satan did not have that benefit.

Eva pointed a finger and released one of her active skills. 

｢Searing Ray – Active skill 

Effect: Fire out a solid beam of condensed Light Energy that has absolute piercing power. This skill deals 600% Light damage. 

Cooldown: 4 minutes.｣ 

She had used it earlier to deflect the attack on Draco's cauldron, but it had not been able to achieve what she wanted because she normally kept her various items suppressed. 

After all, they had been mostly training their bloodlines up until this point, leaving them to use their classes rather sparingly. They had mostly become ornaments used to show their progression in Boundless' ranks of power. 

It was unknown if this was the AI's intention, but having their bloodline temporarily unusable for a battle like this had reminded the Evil Trio that their classes were truly useful and powerful if they grasped it well. 

While the bloodline and even Control were innately superior in that they could be freely used outside, the classes were not necessarily unable to achieve that either. 

Both Caelo and the Will of the Eternal World had called Boundless a digital universe, which meant that it had the foundation of a true universe but was virtual. Then it stood to reason that it could one day become real, right?

If that was the case, then wouldn't they be able to bring out their class power to reality?!

This was a pleasant realization for the former Evil Duo more than Shuangtian, after all, she had joined the party pretty late. As for the former Evil Duo, they had been in this game since the previous timeline, and while they entertained the idea of bringing the power out, they had followed the wrong path.

They felt that the end goal would be to train with the various active skills in the game and turn them into techniques after constant usage, thus allowing them to bring it out. 

This was not wrong, but was severely limited. 

However, if they rather assisted the AI in coalescing the world of Boundless, or even just the Western Fantasy alone, there would be severely huge benefits!

Firstly, every human on Earth who was in Boundless would gain all their stats and class ability in reality. 

Secondly, the Evil Trio would no longer need to either bestow all of humanity their bloodline or unlock Control in order to make them useful on the galactic stage. That power was best reserved for their own people. 

Thirdly, the NPCs would no longer be "NPCs" and rather just natives. Loki, Rosella, Zaine, Hikari, Roma, Kuro and Shiro would no longer have to fear being wiped out of existence if the AI suddenly shut down tomorrow. 

To do that, they would have to start with fulfilling the AI's request and bring it Origin Energy from the so called Primordials of Earth. 

The Evil Trio's eyes flashed. It meant that after this foray into the Demon Realm, and after reaching Rank 5, they would have to spend some time outside hunting down those Primordials. 

However, that was for later. Right now, they needed to solve this calamity before them!

Satan saw the beam of light coming towards him and felt fear for the first time. Due to Passive 1 of the Celestial Symbol, any attack sent by Eva was treated as Divine when damage calculation is done. 

In other words, all her attack possessed the Law! 

They had the Combat Rank effect of a True God's attack, meaning that they would effect Law Suppression on other beings. However, that was only a sort of pseudo effect. 

Eva wasn't a True God and this effect was just from a Divine Item, so it did not possess the raw power, only the form. 

For example, if she and a True God stood side by side and used the same skill, Eva's damage would be lower on the same target due to her stats at the mortal stage limiting her. 

It should be obvious enough that the stats system from True Gods and above was starkly different than what was used for Rank 1 to Rank 7. 

However, even if she fought a True God head on, they would no longer be able to use Laws to suppress her! Her damage might be lower, but that was irrelevant when both attacks contained law!

Of course, it came down to the concentration of the Law, its purity, the True God's skill with it and-…

Meh, let's explore the theory later and just get back to the fight for now. 

Satan knew he was at the crux of life and death this time. He roared and burned his Divine Energy, firing a beam of Hellfire through his arms that met Eva's Searing Ray.

Law Suppression met Energy Suppression and canceled each other out. 

However, Satan could not feel happy or relieved, rather feeling endless dread. If they were in the Divine Realm where the air was chock full of Divine Energy, or if he  was even in a place with basic Worldly Energy he could hold on for a while. 

However he was in the Demon Realm where energy and resources were scarce! His Divine Energy had been condensed over hundreds of thousands of years of hard work from pillaging and raping. 

Yet in this one fight, he had used over 30% of it already!

Meanwhile the Energy Suppression he had was limited to how much Divine Energy he had but Eva's Law Suppression was infinite since it came from a passive skill.

So a battle of attrition was a death sentence for Satan!

Satan realized this and rushed back towards the Demon Gods without thinking. His face was full of cold reluctance as if he was forced to do this, but inwardly he was shuddering in fear. 

"Lord Demon Gods, I am too distracted! I have to rely on you to defeat these weak human because I have to care about the harmed Demon Kings!" Satan confessed with anger.

Demon Gods: "…"

Eva and Shuangtian: "…"

The players watching the stream: "…"

Draco: "… how handsome!"

[Lewd Account: Well, it's hard to laugh at him. It is a fucking smart decision given the circumstances.]

[Rev Kumei: I used to doubt that this Demon Race could really abuse the NPCs for so long, but looking at this guy, I can sort of understand why.]

[G-Fuel's Fueler: What is frightening is not a powerful enemy that is brainless and easily controlled by emotions, but one who is shameless and willing to discard reputation to live.]

[Kira Was Right: But he ain't really up there. Look at his excuse, it shows that he still cares about his rep. Still, can the top 3 players handle the Demon Gods?]

[Grand Magus Cunt: I guess we'll find out.]

The Demon Gods glanced at Satan with dark looks and felt anger. If it wasn't for the fact that they needed this fellow and his bloodline, they would smash him into paste. 

The way he spoke, it was as if he was the young master and they were his dao protectors, meant to save his life if things went bad!

"Trash!" One Demon God coldly shouted, venting his anger. 

Satan's face changed greatly, and his fury grew. However, he swallowed his anger and glanced at that Demon God coldly before moving to the Demon King's area. 

The Demon God who called him out sneered but his eyes glinted with coldness. Satan's look told him that should he ever advanced into True God he would get back at him for this.

Once they were on the same level, he wouldn't be Satan's match due to the other's superior bloodline! 

As such, that Demon God began harboring thoughts of executing Satan on the spot to prevent future troubles, but the other Demon Gods subtly blocked his way. 

The offender's face changed. He understood that his compatriots would not allow him to nip this trouble in the bud, trouble he got by not controlling his mouth.

His face became ugly and he turned to face Eva. Since he could not do anything to that guy, he would just vent his anger by beating this human female to death!

With that in mind, he simply punched out using his Divine Law and Divine Energy to quash Eva in one blow. 

Eva's eyes flashed as she knew this was a life and death moment, and she knew what choice she should make right now. Immediately, she used the second active skill of the Celestial Symbol called Elevation, which allowed her to raise both her Combat Rank and Source Origin to the Divine tier for 2 minutes. 

The Celestial Symbol glowed and imbued with with a divine halo, causing Eva's power to skyrocket. What was great was that the energy contained in her Source Origin was automatically converted to Divine Energy of the same quantity, so she didn't have to look for new energy to absorb. 

The Demon Gods were stunned when they felt Eva's aura. How did she got from a Semi-True God to a full one? What the hell just happened?!

Eva did not waste her precious time posing and immediately called forth her Sun Star and used its first active skill, Sunderpress!

｢Active 1 – Sunderpress: The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. When it rises, it sunders the horizon with its might and when it sets, it suppresses the horizon with its power. All enemies with a zone of your designation will either go through the effect of being sundered or being suppressed. Duration: Variable. Cooldown: Variable.｣ 

Like always, the sky cracked like a broken mirror and a void was displayed on the other side where three celestial bodies spun around each other in a small scale system. 

In the center of this system was a huge sun that flashed with light, releasing a projection of itself forward. The projection blazed downwards crazily, flashing each second as it released a strange shockwave of energy towards the entire Demon Realm. 

The skill check was that one would either be sundered - cut in half - or suppressed. The moment the projection entered the realm, all beings of the Demon Realm below Rank 7 were instantly sundered, their lives forfeit. 

The Will of the Demon Realm screamed and appeared, forming a giant eye in the sky that shot a beam of hellfire at the projection to destroy it. 

"Hahaha, I was waiting for this!" Draco laughed as he smashed a Destruction Beam forward, clashing with the eye and causing it to vanish. 

The Will of the Demon Realm had been severely injured if not destroyed!

With nothing to stop it, the horrified Demon Gods were not made to bear the brunt, Satan behind them already on the verge of death as he was being sundered slowly. As for the unconscious Demon Kings, Draco rushed forward and grabbed them and threw them back into his Cauldron of Evil. 

However no one could save them this time as the Demon Gods and Satan were already fighting for their lives. Meanwhile, Shuangtian grinned cruelly and rushed towards the sky, glancing down at the remaining landmass of the Demon Realm. 

She converged the entirety of her power and used an active skill she had bought from the World Merchant that had been summoned by Money Lover. 

｢One Punch Woman – Active skill 

Effect: Throw your fist out and condense the entirety of your power into it, draining all of your mana, stamina, focus and willpower to deal the maximum damage you can to a single entity.  This skill's damage is variable.

Cooldown: Variable.｣ 

Immediately, the punch Shuangtian threw down formed into a giant fist image that was no smaller than the falling sun projection. It caused the world to shake and tremble, the ground itself cracking and breaking apart before the fist even landed. 

When it landed, the entirety of the land explode and turned into space dust, reducing the totality of the Demon Realm into nothing!
