Book 5: Chapter 299: The Fierce Battle at the Crusade of Pamelas Hotel
The nameless crusade surrounding the Grand Palhalas Hotel in the heart of Angus City continued on in order to gain control of the extra-dimensional door in the secret room underneath Grand Palhalas Hotel. With the three-way coalition of Insect Empress Vicky Hill, Mechanical Empress Andulisna, and Jade Bone Demon Velouria, they advanced towards the Grand Palhalas Hotel from three separate directions.
These three Abyss Creators did not have a good relationship. Though they were in a temporary alliance for this battle, they chose to attack on their own instead of going together. The Abyss Demonic Insect Race charged from the front. Since their numbers were plenty, they could create an insect swarm to advance as cannon fodder.
The Abyss Mechanical Race and Abyss Skeletal Race chose to attack from the left and right of the Abyss Insect Army, respectively. When the troops of the three Abyss Demonic Races piled together, they nearly reached a million. But this wasnât a one-sided advancement. With the support of a World Creatorâs power, the Divine Race from a different dimension that was controlling the Grand Palhalas Hotel forcefully opened up a Divine Territory in this severely abyssified area of Angus City.
The Divine Territory was the Divine Raceâs domain. If any Abyss Demons entered this zone, their combat power and strength would be reduced by more than 60%. Even top-level existences such as the Abyss Creators and the Abyss Demon Kings will have their power halved.
In the same manner, if the Divine Race trespassed into the abyss zone, they would also be weakened. The only ones not affected were proper Demon God and Evil God members of the World Destructorâs camp, and also others like the Chaos Bringers.
Bella was starting to feel at a loss. The Divine Raceâs weakening effect on the Abyss Demons was too obvious. If they stepped into the Divine Territory, even the lowest-leveled Two-winged Fighter Angels would be able to match against a large number of the Abyss Demons. The Divine Race on the opposite side had around a hundred thousand troops. If the demons were to fight in the Divine Territory, it would be no different than serving themselves up on a plate.
Bella didnât consider things thoroughly and had the Great Old One Cthulu Saya and the Master of Darkness Ira Klaus head back too early. Now, not only were these two Abyss Creators stronger than the three, but they also had a large number of ultra-long-range attack units in their Abyss Demon Army.
The only troops on this side were Mechanical Empress Andulisna and her subordinates, who had a good number of ultra-long-range attack units. There were practically none on Insect Empress Vicky Hill and Jade Bone Demon Velouriaâs side.
But neither of the two sides sent out their troops brainlessly. After a round of fighting in the transition area and after the Divine Race retreated to their Divine Territory, the Abyss Demon Army automatically stopped advancing. At the same time, the Abyss Mechanical Raceâs ultra-long-range units fired their long-range beam attacks on the Divine Race in the Divine Territory.
The only three special existences unaffected by the Divine Territory on Bellaâs side were Kriss, Little Sister Lisha, and herself. Demon God Angel, Evil God Mia, and Interdimensional Illusion Demon Noesha from the Chaos Bringers, as well as âPoison Originâ Betty, were all unable to arrive at Angus City on such short notice. The Magical Teleportation Array was destroyed some time ago during the Abyss Demonic Insect Raceâs occupation from before and had yet to be repaired till now.
Bella and the rest retreated behind an abandoned sundries store and hid there temporarily to catch their breaths. The Grand Palhalas Hotel was right at the end of this street, around a thousand meters away. Although it was close, they would reach the Divine Territory in just 500 meters. There was no way Bella and the rest could lead their Abyss Demons inside.
Bella took out her magical contact crystal and immediately contacted the Mothers of Creation resting in the Dark Sacred Region, Creator of Light Vianne and Creator of Darkness Mystica. Of the five Mothers of Creation standing on Bellaâs side, she interacted with these two more frequently. She didnât feel good about asking the other three for help since they didnât know each other too well.
âThe Supreme Divine Race? So itâs those guys from the Holy Creator⊠Thatâs a tough enemy this time, Bella! I never liked them, but I canât just fight him head-on with the restrictions of my identity as a World Creator!â
âI didnât think even he would get involved in the mess from this dimension. Bella, logically speaking, as the strongest Dimension Creator, I shouldnât be helping you. Even though the one youâre facing is a Father of Creation, weâre still considered allies by name.â
âHowever, as your friend, and with your identity⊠Anyway, just take whatever I tell you next as something you learned from a passing rumor.â
After Creator of Light Vianne and Creator of Darkness Mystica confirmed that Bella was on a one-way contact line on the magical contact crystal and that Kriss and Lisha on the other side wouldnât be able to hear them, they revealed whatever they could tell her.
They couldnât say the name or ranking of the Father of Creation that invaded this time, but they could tell Bella some other information about him. A Holy Creator, as the name implied, was a Creator that only created divine beings, like the Divine Race.
In this dimension, he controlled the Divine Race, the Divine Beasts, as well as a large number of humans created to worship the Divine Race. Basically, none of them were from the other common races in this dimension, such as the Beast Race, Elven Race, and Demon Race.
There were many Fathers of Creation with such extreme ideas in the World Creatorâs Camp. The one who clashed with him the most wasnât the Creator of Darkness Mystica, but a Fallen Creator who specialized in creating demons and demon gods.
If a creator was capricious, the number of nonsensical derivatives would proliferate. Some World Creators had already departed from their duties and basic principles gradually, so there were many eccentric ones among the World Creators.
Bella didnât know much about the Fathers of Creation in the World Creatorâs Camp. All this Holy Creator created was the Divine Race. According to the Creator of Light Vianneâs impression of him, this Father of Creation was really good-looking. To put it in simple terms, he was a handsome man.
But Bella clearly felt that this World Creator was too⊠lacking in principles. It was alright if he was handsome, but he didnât want his subordinates to steal his spotlight. So, even though he could have made all the Fighter Angels and Deities good-looking, this guy just didnât follow the other World Creatorsâ example. Instead of designing the men of the Divine Race as attractive, they were designed to look no different from monsters.
Compared to the ugly-looking Fighter Angels and Deities, the sparse number of Valkyries was the creme de la creme. Each one was personally crafted by the Holy Creator, and unlike the mass-produced Fighter Angels, all of them were unique existences. Their divine artifacts and powers were individually designed, and their combat power was also many times higher than that of the mass-produced ones. It was proof of the unspoken truth that all mass-produced goods would turn into dregs.
Through the information provided by Mystica and Vianne, Bella had a rough idea of the opposite sideâs combat power and strength. The Fighter Angels could be differentiated by the number of wings on their backs. From the lowest ranking two-winged ones up to twenty, there were a total of five levels. The Deities were graded according to the material of the metal armor they wore on the outside. In ascending order, these were black iron, bronze, silver, gold, and platinumâalso five levels.
There were only three levels for the Valkyries: primary, intermediate, and advanced. They were distinguished by their hair color. The primary stage featured long blonde hair, white for the intermediate, and the advanced level had any other hair color beside the first two. The ones Bella saw were just primary ones.
âBella, that guy is using a surrogate body. Still, he canât be beaten with your current battle strength. However, the situation has changed. I can sense that most of his power is focused on sealing and suppressing something. You just have to get your Hand of the Demon God into the position of his surrogate bodyâs heart, and his surrogate body will be done for.â
âRemember, you only have one chance. You canât use any weapon other than the Hand of the Demon God. Heâs guarded. If you miss, heâll activate the World Creatorâs body protection shield. He hasnât noticed that youâre a Demon God in hiding yet, so he hasnât activated that energy-consuming shield. You only have one chance for a sneak attack, okay?â
âAs long as that guy can be seriously injured, the temporary Divine Territory will fall apart. Bella, Mystica sneaked one of her gloves into that big bag she gave you for the support treasures. All you have to do is take it out and put it on.â
âBut remember, you must not reveal this glove in front of any members of the World Destructorâs Camp for now, or thereâll be unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble. You canât even show it to your big sister. You can tell her once the time is right, but not now. Thatâs everything I can say, and I can only wish you a good battle in advance.â
Bella fished out a dark, black lace left glove from her own storage ring. It had a large number of mysterious incantation markings on the surface. This was the Creator of Darkness Mysticaâs precious object. The other was on Mysticaâs right hand. Even though Mystica insisted on giving it to her as a âfarewell presentâ, Bella had taken it upon herself to recognize it as a token of love instead.
Neither Mystica nor Vianne told her the full truth. This was a World Creatorâs glove, one of the standard pieces of equipment. Be it a Mother of Creation or a Father of Creation, they were essential precious objects. They had the ability to break down and reset everything in a dimension. This was equivalent to an important tool for a Dimensional Creator.
Even though the Supreme Divine Race under the Holy Creator that invaded this place came from another dimension, they were considered half a product of this world now because they were affected by the effects of this glove.
As a Sacred Demon God, Bella now existed in a special form. She didnât have any adverse reactions to it and was successfully able to put on this âHand of Creationâ. This must not be seen by any World Destructor for now; otherwise, Bella would be treated as a traitor and invited to the solitary confinement room for a seat.
After putting on the glove, Bella had no idea what to do now. Neither Vianne nor Mystica told her how to use this âcheat itemâ. They had turned off the magical contact crystal before telling her anything. Bella thought about contacting them again, but she got the message that the other side had temporarily shut off their magical contact crystal, which was equivalent to turning off a phone.
Perhaps this glove had some kind of poison or petrifying ability that could cause anything she touched to be poisoned or turned into stone? While thinking about this, an experiment subject immediately appeared before Bella.
Even though the forces of each side were facing each other with their own Divine Territories and Abyssal Regions, the Fighter Angels of the Supreme Divine Race relied on the divine artifacts covering their bodies and the high mobility of their wings to come out quite often, so they could harass and pick a fight with the Abyss Demon Army.
The street where Bella and the others were at was attacked by the Fighter Angels. A group of Fighter Angels flew over and unleashed a variety of long-raged holy magic that turned the Abyss Crypt Spiders and Abyss Crypt Insects crawling on the ground into corpses. The divine artifact equipment was separated by levels, allowing their owners to enter the Abyssal Region for a set amount of time with a special blessing. It rendered the abyssal weakening effect useless.
With the high propulsion of the wings on the Fighter Angelsâ backs, they didnât think much of the Abyss Demonic Insect Race at all. Before many of the crypt spiders could even spit out their webs to attack, they were all cleaned up by their holy magic. Bella and the rest werenât considered Abyss Demons, so the effects of the holy magic werenât pronounced on them. At most, it felt like they were hit in the eye by a bright light and nothing else.
âTo all you fallen, let the divine light grant you your final salvation!â
When they found out that Bella and the rest were fine, a two-winged angel swooped down while holding the divine artifact, âSpear of Judgementâ, and aimed it straight for Bellaâs heart. Bella subconsciously reached out her left hand to catch it, grabbing onto the tip of the âSpear of Judgementâ. A shocking sight presented itself in front of everyone. The spearhead of the divine artifact instantly weakened and was crushed to pieces by Bellaâs grip.
âFatherâs gift⊠The darkness shouldnât be able to⊠toâŠâ
âStill talking at a time like this? Farewell, you false angelâŠâ
Bella moved forward and unleashed a âBlack Tiger Steals Heartâ move, piercing through the divine artifact armor covering the Fighter Angelâs chest. The unlucky Fighter Angel was pierced through, and its heart ruptured. Bella swung her hand and threw it to the pile of Abyss Crypt Insects at the back. The Abyssal Crypt Insects that looked like cockroaches quickly swarmed over to divide the Fighter Angelâs corpse.
Perhaps it was because they became allies, but Bella didnât feel disgusted when looking at these giant cockroach-looking Abyss Crypt Insects anymore. After seeing their companion get killed, the Fighter Angels rushed over in anger. This was the first casualty for the Supreme Divine Race since the battle began, so it was not strange for them to be angry.
The Abyss Demonic Insect Race was not to be outdone. They quickly gathered to join in on the fight as well. Even though they were not strong on their own, they were alright as a swarm. Bella took a few steps back to avoid the Fighter Angelsâ frenzied attacks while Kriss and Lisha, who were at the side, immediately engaged as supporters.
âNo bullying Big Sister Bella, you disgusting birdies! Back off!â
Lishaâs hand had transformed into a giant black shield. The outer surface bulged outwards in a fierce-looking demon face with fangs. Lisha crashed over while holding up the giant shield with both hands. A couple of Two-Winged Fighter Angels were unable to evade in time and were sent flying with a bang. Even the divine artifacts, âSpears of Judgementâ, were knocked off their hands.
âDamn you, you violent woman. ThatâsâŠâ
âThe divine spear! Fa-Holy FatherâŠâ
The moment their divine artifacts were knocked off, the Abyssal Blood-Sucking Mosquitoes that were already lurking nearby launched a surprise attack. They all swarmed over and sucked the wings of the Fighter Angels dry. The Fighter Angels with the shriveled wings immediately crashed to the floor.
The Abyss Army Ants that had been waiting on the ground for the longest time surged in and devoured the Fighter Angels in less than a minute, not even leaving their bones behind. The Abyssal Region was the Abyss Demonsâ territory. It didnât matter what Divine Race it was that came in; without the blessings of their divine artifacts, they would all end up dead.
âCome on down! You think youâre so great just cause youâre flying in the air?â
Black and White Swords formed in Krissâs hands, the âDarkness Devourerâ and âPure White Messengerâ. She leaped up, swinging her two swords in quick succession to strike at the Two-Winged Fighter Angels at speed comparable to that of a certain âbeta testerâ using the âdual wieldâ hack in the previous life.
The last time Bella saw a swordsman with such quick attack speed was the Pseudo Demon God, Dark Faust. Ford also had a fast swing speed. Bella wasnât sure who would be faster if the two compared. In the end, she counted them both as high-level swordsmen at the same level for now.
The two-winged Fighter Angel was quickly unable to withstand Krissâs continuous attacks, a problem compounded by their âterrible luckâ as lancers. After unleashing a âDark Crossâ similar to Dark Fordâs, the two-winged Fighter Angelâs arms and both the wings on its back were severed, splattering their golden blood everywhere in a gory scene.
âThe Holy⊠The Holy will not yieldâŠâ
Kriss turned around, swinging her blade. She severed the head of the two-winged Fighter Angel before it could even finish its dying oath, causing its head to roll on the ground. The Abyss Army Ants all around the area quickly surrounded the corpse and devoured the body. During the group fight, they were all working in concert with the other Abyss Insect Race, and they specialized in offering assist damage.
The Divine Race invading other dimensions could no longer be measured by the standards of the Divine Race. Bella was having an easy time on this side, even more relaxed than Lisha and Kriss. Under the powers of the âLeft Hand of the Creatorâ, the Two-Winged Fighter Angels who fought Bella had their divine artifacts, âSpear of Judgementâ, crushed by the mysterious power. Next, they would be killed by the assisting Abyss Demonic Insect Race.
Bella was glad that these Fighter Angels were all designed to look like inhumane monsters. If they looked like the traditional pretty babe, it didnât matter whether they were being sucked dry by the Abyss Blood-Sucking Ants or devoured by Abyss Army Ants; the scenes would be so brutal and haunting that even a Demon God like Bella wouldnât be able to watch on.
