Chapter 66: White Kingdom! 【Request for Monthly Ticket】
The attack of the demons surged like a tidal wave.
This endless onslaught was unbearable even for the ghouls. Faced with so many mid- to high-level demons, the walls of the White Kingdom quickly fell.
Immediately, the skeletal buildings were flattened by the demons, and Soren didn’t even need to lift a finger; the Lesser Demon Lords under his command fought their way to the palace. Guarding this place was the King of Ghouls—Doreisen’s believers, which were the barbarians who had advanced into Nether Ghouls. Each of them was enormous, resembling mad hyenas. The King of Ghouls remained the same—standing tall, unlike the other ghouls who hunched over, with eyes gleaming a pale green, dressed in a luxurious robe and leather armor, wearing a crown of bones, and holding a spine-shaped staff known as the Hunger Tooth Staff.
Soren stepped forward.
Flames erupted around him, and he pulled out an enormous beheading sword from the void, then walked towards the King of Ghouls—Doreisen.
Squadrons of Balroth Fire Demons joined the battle.
In the White Kingdom, the ghouls were making their last stand, and Soren’s goal was to slay their king.
—“Body of Flames!”
Endless fires enveloped an area of nearly a hundred meters. Soren, gripping the gigantic beheading sword, advanced step by step, the ground beneath him melting into half-crystal, dreadful heat causing cracks to appear in the skeletal palace.
Roar!
Under the threat of d*ath, the King of Ghouls let out a primal growl.
This made him unable to maintain his human form; his body hunched involuntarily as sharp fangs emerged, looking like a ferocious ghoul ready to pounce. Behind him, his luxurious robe was cloaked in a strange energy—this was the ‘Demon’s Mouth Cloak,’ an evil equipment capable of attacking enemies. The King of Ghouls possessed a frenzied, hunger-driven ability that greatly enhanced his combat power. He also held the power to awaken the undead, but at this moment, that ability was completely useless. Because as Doreisen attempted to summon the undead, they were quickly charred within Soren’s Body of Flames.
No one could defeat the Balroth Fire Demon Lord using cannon fodder tactics.
Even thousands of cannon fodder were mere dust before Soren; if they came close to him, they all died instantly.
The King of Ghouls’ body was scorched by flames.
Undead were inherently afraid of fire, and in his combat with Soren, the King of Ghouls—Doreisen was constantly engulfed in flames. He could only use evil spiritual energy to protect himself from flame damage.
Boom.
The confrontation between the two Demon Lords began in an instant.
Soren’s massive form stood still, while the King of Ghouls was sent flying.
Power crushed.
As a gigantic otherworldly being, perhaps only a giant dragon could withstand Soren’s power.
Spells rained down in waves before him, but Soren was unconcerned; he simply conjured a shield of negative energy and stood his ground against the enemy’s attacks. His strength far exceeded that of the King of Ghouls, let alone the possibility of borrowing the power of his main body; there was no unexpected turn in this battle—it just needed a little time to conclude.
…………
Overseas Islands, Modo.
After spending about three days, a somewhat special temple was finally completed.
Building this temple mobilized a lot of resources, utilizing many witches and golem puppets, while the City Hall allocated significant manpower and material resources.
The temple covers an area of approximately five acres.
In front of it lies a small courtyard with a fountain pool in the middle, the temple’s columns built from a meter-wide marble, and on both sides stand a pair of black cat sculptures with gem-inlaid eyes, looking lifelike. The temple’s interior lacks murals, which will later be added by the priests; at the center is a prayer altar, with a statue of a cute cat-girl standing in front.
That’s right.
This is Lulu’s temple.
As Soren’s demigod, her temple is built on the right side of the Grand Temple, like a satellite guarding the main god’s temple.
Currently, Lulu’s church is very small, comprising only a couple hundred people, some of whom are guided beastmen, while others are serving mortals.
Lulu’s responsibilities are few.
However, in the underworld, there is a team of d*ath god servants at her command, and her main task is to ensure souls reach the underworld.
When the temple was completed,
Soren also arrived there and bestowed blessings, leaving his mark.
Being Soren’s demigod, a portion of the faith power from her believers would also transfer here during prayers and offerings. Most demigods don’t have large churches, so part of their divine power relies on the main god.
As of now.
Lulu is progressing quickly in her studies and can already bestow 1-5 level divine techniques to priests.
However, as a new god, she still needs a long time to grow; until she can bestow 1-8 level divine techniques to believers, Lulu will only be regarded as truly qualified.
Generally,
Weak divine powers cannot be used for level 9 or higher divine techniques unless by God’s Chosen or Elect.
If a believer’s strength is close to legend, then the weak divine power deity will basically turn them into God’s Chosen, as these believers are precious assets to them.

Bottomless Abyss, Level 421, White Kingdom.
With the King of Ghouls—Doreisen’s unwilling roar, his body turned to charred remains in the flames. Countless divine lights emerged, most flowing into Soren’s body, while a small portion scattered to others.
The King of Ghouls—Doreisen’s domain is chaos, evil, illusion, trickery, and hunger.
Among these, the power of chaos was rejected by Soren, part of the evil power was absorbed, the same goes for illusion, whereas trickery integrated into Soren’s body. As for hunger, it was completely rejected and dissipated among the other surviving ghouls, after which these empowered ghouls began to flee in a frenzy.
This demon lord could not bring Soren too many benefits.
Due to powers’ repulsive nature, Soren only obtained a new domain—trickery!
As for the other powers, most were absorbed by the demons, especially the dominating domain of 【chaos】, which caused some nearby demons to advance.
“Flatten this place!”
Soren frowned, retracted the beheading sword, then ordered, “k*ll all the ghouls. Prepare to restore the Abyss bl**d Pool.”
The Demon Avatar had already accumulated plenty of divine power.
These powers have not yet merged into his main body; they will only combine when Soren feels the timing is right, during the re-fusion of the main body and Demon Avatar.
After complete fusion.
The Demon Avatar would function like an external incarnation, able to act independently or in conjunction with the main body like the Spider Queen and Lady of the Night.
Now.
With the King of Ghouls eliminated, Soren’s next target is just one—the King of Werewolves—Yenogu!
But.
Before taking action, he still needs to pull in an important ally.
