Chapter 81: Fusion of the True Body!
In the Underworld.
After Soren took over the highest authority of the Underworld, the Otherworldly Messengers from the Shadow Divine Kingdom quickly reestablished order.
Everything has its cause and effect.
Modo City itself is a city filled with order and laws, so most of the populace leans towards the Lawful faction, and Soren’s followers are particularly strict in adhering to laws and rules, a situation that persists even after their death. This invisibly increases the potential of Prayer Weavers within the Divine Kingdom.
Why are so many of Soren’s followers transformed into combat-oriented Heroic Spirits?
The reason is simple.
Many of them were soldiers of Modo City in their previous lives, and alike, after being transformed into Deathwalker minions, these Prayer Weavers can form an army without needing much training.
Currently, every entrance to the Underworld is guarded by Deathwalker minions; not to mention the Soul Thieves from lower planes, even the “Memory Thief Demons” from Bartok Hell have been expelled. After the formation of the army of Deathwalker minions, the Killing Angels also subdued a group of Memory Thief Demons from the Underworld to Bartok Hell.
Memory Thief Demons are stealers of memory and guardians of thought. The vast majority nest along the banks of the flowing River of the Underworld. They are also the river guardians of the River of the Underworld that flows through the first layer of Bartok Hell, Avernus. From the waist up, Memory Thief Demons resemble higher-class devils. They possess strong bodies and stout arms. Their faces, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and two massive horns protruding from the sides of their foreheads, are equally striking. Their hands have hooked claws, and behind them are a pair of huge bat-like wings. From the waist down, however, these demons resemble gigantic slug-like creatures. Their lower bodies struggle to drag them along the ground, leaving behind a slimy and smooth trail wherever they crawl.
This evil spirit was initially a branch of devils, assimilated due to surviving too long near the River of the Underworld.
They can slightly touch the River of the Underworld while having a challenge level of up to 18, making it easy for them to face off against Balroth Demons in direct combat.
Soren’s minions captured the group of Memory Thief Demons, with approximately over five hundred Memory Thief Demons currently obeying his summons, stationed in Bartok Hell, waiting for the Lord of Death’s orders.
………………
The Balroth Demon Leader – Solon arrived at the City of Death.
An impenetrable fog enveloped the vicinity, and before him appeared a seemingly ‘small’ figure, emanating a very powerful aura, especially after leaving the Material Plane, the brilliance of divinity isolated the space.
The Saint’s Cataclysm is waning.
Soren’s divine power is growing stronger day by day, with his Great Divinity safeguarding him from part of the Saint’s Cataclysm energy storm, and he is gradually recovering his true strength.
It is a strange feeling to look at another self.
However, Soren did not have much time to dawdle; he approached his avatar, controlling two physical bodies with divine awareness was only a temporary measure, in the end, the true body and avatar must merge.
— “Change Form [Divine Power]!”
— “Change Reality [Divine Power]!”
— “Divine Power Fusion!”
Accompanied by the emergence of golden light, the figure of the Balroth Fire Demon Lord – Solon gradually became hazy, countless rays of divinity emanated from him, and then his massive body shifted from solid to ethereal, transforming into thousands of flowing lights rushing towards Soren’s body.
Lines of divine power are merging into the true body.
Demons are inherently beings that can easily possess divinity, and upon slaying the King of Ghouls – Doreisen and the King of Werewolves – Yenogu, the Demon Avatar had already absorbed enough divinity.
The entire process lasted about ten minutes.
When the last line of divine power from the Demon Avatar merged into the true body, a hidden kingdom also emerged behind Soren.
Magnificent temples stood tall.
Countless Prayer Weavers surrounded the temples in prayer.
Otherworldly Messengers fluttered in the sky.
Apostles of the Holy Spirit sang atop altars.
Tens of thousands of Prayer Weavers sang praises of their master’s greatness! This power caused a subtle change in the Underworld, with an indistinct fog appearing in the Underworld, and a hint of shadowy power being infused into the properties of the plane.
“Ha!”
Soren slowly opened his eyes; in an instant, it felt as if black thunder had struck, shaking the void behind him.

………………
The void trembles.
As Soren fused the power of the Demon Avatar, his own attributes seemed to undergo some unknowable changes.
At the same time.
In the Bottomless Abyss, at the third layer known as the Land of Forgotten, the Divine Kingdom originally grafted onto the Bottomless Abyss also began to slowly move upward. This movement is not significant, as the destination of the Divine Kingdom’s movement is very close, that is the lower plane of the [Underworld].
Soren’s kingdom is approaching the Underworld.
Simultaneously, after Soren merged the power of the Demon Avatar, those Lesser Demon Lords following and serving the Balroth Fire Demon Lord – Solon underwent slight changes, slightly shifting their factions while receiving part of the blessings from the Lord of Death. Especially those Demon Lords who obtained the Magic Rings automatically gained some necromancy spell abilities.
The entire change lasted for a day.
Soren’s Divine Kingdom is getting closer to the Underworld and finally stabilizes between the Bottomless Abyss and the Underworld, simultaneously grafting parts of both.
………………
Bartok Hell.
A vast army of demons entered the first layer of hell, and millions of demons launched a ferocious counterattack against the devils.
The frontline has been pushed back to the Bronze Fortress.
Unknowingly, a legend began to circulate within the demons, that the immensely powerful Balroth Fire Demon Lord – Solon is actually the incarnation of the Lord of Death. He has long looked unfavorably upon the devils and is preparing to take revenge for their pillaging of the Underworld.
Simply put.
This time, the Blood War is backed by a deity of immense divine power, and it is the most powerful Lord of Death of the lower planes!
The demons are filled with fighting spirit.
The support from the Lord of Death reduced their fear of the Lord of Hell greatly, and those evil Demon Lords seeking to curry favor with Soren are also taking action.
Soren dominates the River of the Underworld.
The River of the Underworld is the lifeblood of the evil spirits, and they must do something to reduce Soren’s hostility.
