Chapter 54: Lady of the Night! [Request for Recommendation Votes]
The Shadow Divine Kingdom appeared behind Soren.
Due to the rapid increase in power, Soren’s underlying foundation cannot compare with the Lord of Radiance; the scene that appeared behind him was limited to the central temple, unlike the magnificent view of the seven-layer Mount Heaven that the Lord of Radiance had. However, this still indicated that his strength far exceeded that of other Strong Divine Powers. Along the way, Soren had killed too many deities, most of whom were related to d*ath. This led to an enormous accumulation of power in this aspect, with almost all the strength of the Three d*ath Deities concentrated on Soren, aside from a portion retained by Vivian and Lilian, along with power from other deities.
Naraku was finally starting to panic.
The situation had completely fallen apart, and its luck seemed to have run out. After Soren took Klanvor’s head, the God of Suffering was easily persuaded by him as well.
One against four.
There was almost no chance of winning!
However, just as Soren was ready to strike, a small accident occurred.
With the emergence of divine radiance, it suddenly seemed that some of the watching gods were preparing to join the fray.
“Naraku.”
A beautiful woman with black long hair appeared at the edge of the battlefield, glancing thoughtfully at Soren before saying, “You must pay the price for everything you have done.”
—Lady of the Night – Shar.
Accompanied by divine light, another deity appeared at the battlefield’s edge, the veiled Goddess of Misfortune suddenly manifested, smiled slightly at Soren, and then declared, “The ancient covenant of the gods must not be betrayed! You shall face the judgment of the gods!…”
Golden light shone one after another.
Just as Soren held an absolute advantage, one by one, the secretly observing deities manifested their avatars, seemingly unable to wait to kick a man when he’s down.
“What’s going on?”
“Brother! Why have they suddenly all come out!…”
These arriving deities were all avatars; they were afraid of being misunderstood by Soren, and also wary of his power, so none of their true forms descended.
Soren discreetly created some distance, mentally noting: “Just a bunch coming over to pick peaches! Be careful!…”
This group of bitches.
Soren could hardly guess the intentions behind Lady of the Night’s sudden appearance.
Naraku was different from Klanvor; its divine professions were d*ath, darkness, m*rder, and the underworld.
Sound familiar?
That’s right!
Some of these divine professions resonated with Lady of the Night, and as she appeared, shadowy figures emerged, hinting at certain Evil Faction deities lurking in the shadows.
“Are we just going to let them steal our hard-earned victory?” Lilian seemed a bit angry.
Soren shook his head to calm her down, then frowned and said, “It’s not the time to turn against them; let’s deal with Naraku first and see who can seize more divine professions.”
Naraku’s power was rather mixed.
It held domains of darkness, m*rder, necromancy, and the underworld, and also possessed powers of evil and trickery, which were very appealing to many deities. Simply put, they were watching the situation, hoping to take some good benefits home.
“Attack!”
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable, Soren was the first to strike.
As he acted, the other deities immediately joined in, especially Lady of the Night – Shar; the avatars she dispatched seemed incredibly powerful, perhaps even possessing strengths not weaker than Vivian and Lilian.
Arcane light emerged.
Just as Lady of the Night made her move, the avatars of the Goddess of Magic and Lady Silver Moon suddenly appeared; initially, they had no particular intentions, but with Lady of the Night’s appearance, everything changed. However, just as the Goddess of Magic struck, a strange figure suddenly surfaced behind her.
“Watch out!”
Lady Silver Moon cried out in alarm, but it was already a bit late; the opponent possessed potent trickery powers.
—“Spider Queen – Rose!”
She was an extraordinarily beautiful deity; if not for her lower body being that of a giant spider, she could be described as a stunning beauty. This wasn’t the true form of the Spider Queen, but rather a form similar to Soren’s Demon Avatar; the Spider Queen had a core avatar, which was this ‘Spider-like Fairy’ form seen before her, her battle avatar possessing about seventy percent of her true power. Most beings present were divine avatars, and the Goddess of Magic was suddenly in a precarious position due to a sneak attack, and worse still, a sly smile appeared at the corner of Lady of the Night’s mouth as she suddenly abandoned Naraku and charged at Lady Silver Moon’s avatar.
What exactly were these bitches up to?
Soren was somewhat bewildered for a moment, but that didn’t prevent him from taking Naraku’s head.
The Goddess of Misfortune seemed genuinely intent on Naraku’s d*ath; she assisted Soren by attacking Naraku from the side, and faced with the siege of the gods, Naraku was left with no room to maneuver and fell under Soren’s powerful strikes after merely enduring three rounds of assault.
However, what Soren couldn’t have anticipated was that just as Naraku lay heavily injured and on the brink of d*ath, a figure roughly ten feet tall suddenly appeared behind Naraku, a woman clad in a large black cloak, wearing a dark feathered mask, and long black feathers cascading from her face into the depths of her hood. She then wielded a strange wheel kn*fe and stabbed it into Naraku from behind. The weapon seemed to contain some terrifying power, instantly obliterating Naraku’s body, followed by a burst of divine light, with some of the power representing d*ath rushing towards Soren, while a significant amount of divine energy was absorbed into her own body.
“Nightstalker! d*mn it!…”
Soren’s complexion changed slightly, and he quickly created some distance.
The Lady of the Night had two entirely different avatar forms; one was the Nightstalker, and the other was the Dark Dancer; the former had just appeared, while the attack now came from the Nightstalker.
She was the most terrible assassin and wanderer in the multiverse, her power far more dangerous than Soren’s. Just after she had attacked Naraku, a wave of evil black energy began to devour Naraku’s divinity, seizing the powers associated with [Darkness], [m*rder], [Trickery], and [Underworld].
This ancient goddess possessed an array of divine professions.
Including but not limited to—Underdark, night, hatred, loss, oblivion, sleep, nightmare, illusion, lies, deceit, undisclosed secrets, hidden places, betrayal, insidiousness, temptation, thief, stealing, m*rder, and winter.
Eerie dark light appeared.
At the moment Naraku fell, a hazy realm materialized behind Lady of the Night.
“Great Divinity!”
Soren thought of his own situation, and instantly conceived that the Lady of the Night had likely also transcended into Great Divinity.
This goddess wielded secret divine powers, so even upon entering Great Divinity, her divine kingdom, [Shadow Realm], remained indistinct. Seemingly satisfied with the result of this encounter, Lady of the Night let out a light chuckle, shared a playful glance with Soren, and swiftly vanished from sight.
She had definitely been plotting for a long time!
Lady of the Night could seize the moment so perfectly; Soren was absolutely certain that she had been covertly plotting against Naraku for quite some time.
Even further.
In her schemes, Soren could even be used as her pawn, as it was difficult for her to absorb Klanvor’s power, but there was far too much she could seize from Naraku.
Not far away, the avatars of the Goddess of Magic and Lady Silver Moon were in peril. Upon witnessing Lady of the Night enter Great Divinity and the Nightstalker arrive, the Goddess of Magic immediately cast a look of help toward Soren, but at this moment, he had integrated far too many d*ath divine powers without any transformation and had no intention of engaging with Lady of the Night or the Spider Queen. In such a scenario, the Goddess of Magic could only grit her teeth and brace for further injury, quickly dispersing her avatar alongside Lady Silver Moon; no matter what, exhausting divine power was better than letting their avatars be killed by Lady of the Night, and the situation was indeed dire for them.
“Let’s go!”
The power representing d*ath within Naraku was fused with Soren; due to acquiring such overpowering strength so quickly, Soren felt a bit of a loss of control over his divine power. He glanced at the distant Lady of the Night and instantly determined: “The situation is set.”
“We need to leave here first.”
At the moment of Naraku’s d*ath, although Soren hadn’t claimed the final head, he had still gained quite a bit of divine power.
Lady of the Night had taken a portion.
But Soren received about 130 points of divinity and approximately 100 points of divine traits; at present, this power had somewhat exceeded his capacity, and Soren needed to find a way to merge the power of d*ath.
Sherek, Klanvor, and Naraku.
The three sources of d*ath’s power were distinct; Soren needed to integrate them into his own understanding of d*ath’s mysteries.
