Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 269

Before they could reach it, the Blazing Thunder Sword descended upon the Hellgate. A massive explosion followed as the sword cleaved the Hellgate in two.

The Hellgate, serving as a bridge between Avalon and the Hell Realm, crumbled, triggering a massive explosion. The newly summoned demons found themselves ensnared in the violent eruption, torn apart by the force. As the Hellgate disintegrated entirely, leaving behind devastation, Ouroboros wore a look of profound dismay at the unforeseen turn of events.

Ouroboros harbored aspirations of making substantial contributions during this summoning in Avalon, aiming to earn recognition from the Great Demon God Baal and ascend to a higher rank. But before his legion could cross over, the Hellgate was destroyed.

From the outset, Ouroboros's carefully laid plan crumbled, leaving him seething with anger towards Mu-Gun, the one who had disrupted his mission. Ouroboros dismissed Mu-Gun's formidable power, capable of obliterating the Hellgate with a single strike, and his sole desire now was to tear Mu-Gun apart in retaliation.

Everyone, attack that bastard! shouted Ouroboros, pointing to Mu-Gun, who was floating in the sky with Nervatums power.

Following Ouroboros's commands, the high-ranking demons with black wings took to the skies, launching an attack against Mu-Gun. Their numbers amounted to an astounding three hundred. Fortunately for Ouroboros and his legion, these high-ranked demons had already been summoned. Confident in their strength, Ouroboros believed that three hundred high-ranked demons would prove more than sufficient to effortlessly defeat Mu-Gun.

Ouroboros' confidence stemmed from a delusion, as he remained oblivious to the true nature of Mu-Gun. Swiftly countering, Mu-Gun swung the Blazing Thunder Sword at the oncoming demons. The Celestial Moonlight Sword unfurled, unleashing waves of Blazing Thunder Moonlight Qi that saturated the sky, striking the demons advancing towards him.

In a quick response, the demons conjured a Dark Demonic Dragon to intercept the Blazing Thunder Moonlight Qi. The clash between the Dark Demonic Dragons and the Blazing Thunder Moonlight Qi generated a massive shockwave. Undeterred, the demons sliced through the ensuing shockwaves with their bodies, unleashing a barrage of countless Dark Demonic Dragons toward Mu-Gun once again.

Undeterred by the onslaught of hundreds of Dark Demonic Dragons aiming to engulf him, Mu-Gun, clad in the Dragon Scale Divine Armor, chose not to engage directly. Instead, he ascended high into the sky, causing the Dark Demonic Dragons to quickly pursue him.

At the brink of being overtaken by the pursuing Dark Demonic Dragons, Mu-Gun swiftly triggered the Thunder God's Shadow, infusing it with the power of the Wind Spirit King Nervatum. Despite donning the massive over twenty-meter tall Dragon Scale Divine Armor, Mu-Gun momentarily vanished from the demons' line of sight.

Amidst the disorientation of the Dark Demonic Dragons, now without a clear target, Mu-Gun materialized behind the high-ranked demons. Realizing Mu-Gun's unexpected position, the high-ranked demons hurriedly attempted to redirect the Dark Demonic Dragons. However, Mu-Gun moved with swifter precision, promptly unleashing the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst upon the high-ranked demons. A thousand Thunderbolt Swords descended like bolts of lightning, targeting the heads of the high-ranked demons.

With relentless speed, dozens of Thunderbolt Swords descended upon the heads of the high-ranked demons, affording them no opportunity for defense. The Thunderbolt Swords seamlessly penetrated the high-ranked demons, their strikes unhindered. The ensuing wave of divine-infused lightning tore through the demons' souls from the inside, leaving them powerless to resist.

Arghhh!

Screaming desperately, the high-ranked demons descended to the ground, their souls shredded apart. The impact of the ten-meter-tall demons hitting the ground produced a resounding blast, shrouding the area in a massive dust cloud. Incapable of reacting to the onslaught, the high-ranked demons, whose souls were rent by the divine-infused golden Thunderbolt Swords, collided with the ground, their bodies shattered and torn apart by the force.

The demons, despite their supernatural nature, stood no chance of survival once their bodies were shattered. Yet, the destruction of their physical forms paled in comparison to the inevitable demise that befell them the moment their souls were torn asunder by the divine-infused lightning. The irrevocable end had already arrived for these demonic adversaries.

Ouroboros found himself utterly astonished as Mu-Gun effortlessly extinguished all three hundred high-ranked demons at once. While acknowledging Mu-Gun as God's representative, the extent of his strength exceeded Ouroboros' expectations. The shock lingered, leaving Ouroboros apprehensive that the remaining demons might also face a similar fate without any chance of resistance.

If he had foreseen Mu-Gun's strength, he might have reconsidered crossing over to Avalon ahead of the other legions. Yet, dwelling on regret proved futile, for the deed was done. Now, faced with the reality before him, Ouroboros acknowledged that he had no alternative but to confront Mu-Gun in battle, regardless of the anticipated outcome.

That bastard is the almighty Demon Gods greatest enemy. If we defeat him, the Great Demon God will greatly praise our achievements. Fight, everyone, for the glory of the Great Demon God! shouted Ouroboros to the remaining demons.

For the glory of the Great Demon God-!

Fueled by Ouroboros' rallying call, the demons of his legion surged forward as one unit, charging towards Mu-Gun, who had descended from the sky. With the obliteration of the high-ranked demons, the remaining force numbered just under four hundred.

Facing a force of four hundred demons, which paled in comparison to Mu-Gun's previous triumph over three hundred high-ranked demons, he opted not to engage them directly. Instead, Mu-Gun delegated the task to the Spirit Kings. Initially, the Wind Spirit King Nervatum materialized a windstorm, launching an assault against the oncoming demons.

Enveloped by the windstorm from all directions, the demons found themselves disoriented, losing their balance and being tossed in every direction. Their attempts to counter the onslaught with dark flames proved futile, as the wind blades, ceaselessly swirling, quickly overwhelmed and extinguished the feeble resistance of the demonic flames.

The wind blades, dispersing the dark flames, bore into the bodies of the demons. Despite possessing bodies seemingly tougher than steel, the high-density, high-speed rotation of the wind blades proved too much for the demonic resilience. The once-impervious bodies of the demons began to succumb, being sliced and torn by the relentless onslaught. If unabated, the wind blades threatened to tear the demons apart entirely.

Faced with the dire circumstances, the demons, in their desperation, unleashed their demonic energy with all their might. A tangible vajra qi, fashioned from the surge of demonic energy, enveloped their entire bodies. The wind blades, attempting to pierce through, faltered in the face of the demonic vajra qi, being forcefully repelled a considerable distance.

Seizing the advantage, the demons intensified their release of demonic energy. The windstorm, birthed by the wind blades, crumbled under the overwhelming might of the demonic vajra qi, unable to withstand its force.

Yet, the cessation of the windstorm marked only the inception of the onslaught. Swiftly taking the cue, the Ice Spirit King Eladium conjured an ice storm, seemingly poised for this very moment. The demons, attempting to counter the approaching tempest of ice, hastily summoned numerous Dark Demonic Dragons to confront the frigid onslaught relentlessly hurtling toward them.

Despite the Dark Demonic Dragons' attempts to resist the ice storm by enveloping themselves in scorching flames, the frigid onslaught caused by the Ice Spirit King Eladium proved to be extremely cold. The dragons' fiery defenses succumbed to the chilling power of the ice storm, gradually freezing their heads downward under the continuous assault of the biting cold.

Alarmed by the ice storm's ability to freeze the Dark Demonic Dragons, the demons intensified their release of demonic energy. The frozen dragons responded by expelling torrents of intense dark flames, casting off the icy encasement from their bodies.

In response, Eladium refrained from perpetuating the ice storm. In her stead, the Earth Spirit King Nordic assumed control. Nordic caused the ground beneath the demons to crumble, forming an abyss without discernible limits. Helplessly, the demons descended into the endless depths of the abyss.

Desperately leaping to evade the plummeting depths, the demons found themselves ensnared by tendrils of soil that emerged from the pit's interior, restraining them from their legs upward. Drawn into the abyss, the demons succumbed to its pull, the entrance sealing shut immediately after engulfing them.

Solely Ouroboros, the Legion Commander, managed to evade the pit's clutches. Yet, facing a fate even more ominous, he found himself caught by Mu-Gun, who seized Ouroboros' head firmly with his right hand as he emerged from the pit.

In his current state, adorned with the colossal Dragon Scale Divine Armor, Mu-Gun's physical size and might were amplified, allowing him to effortlessly grip Ouroboros' head despite the demon's towering size of over ten meters.

Mu-Gun repeatedly slammed Ouroboros to the ground, the resounding crashes echoing through the air. The once-powerful demon found itself at the mercy of Mu-Gun's overwhelming strength.

After Mu-Gun slammed Ouroboros more than ten times, Ouroboros massive body turned as ragged as a mop. Even in that battered state, Ouroboros persisted, attempting to strike Mu-Gun with a Dark Flame Sword.

Mu-Gun slammed Ouroboros to the ground once more, thwarting his attack. Following that, he released a surge of Thunder God Qi from the hand gripping Ouroboros head. A golden wave of Thunder God Qi engulfed Ouroboros, causing a painful scream as his entire body trembled.

Mu-Gun locked eyes with Ouroboros, held in check by the restraining force of the Thunder God Qi.

Where is the Demon God? Mu-Gun asked Ouroboros.

Mu-Gun pondered the challenge of halting the relentless opening of the Hellgates in the nick of time. Even if they succeeded in thwarting the Demon Gods legions pouring through and vanquishing the Demon God itself, it would be meaningless if the majority of Avalon lay in ruins.

The Demon God had to be eradicated while minimizing the damage to Avalon. To achieve this, preventing the Hellgates from opening was important. However, even on high alert, detecting every sign of the Hellgates proved impossible. Merely identifying the Hellgate signals and intervening at that moment fell short as a solution to the underlying issue.

The solution to the matter lay in locating and eliminating the Demon God. With its demise, the Hellgates would cease to open. Mu-Gun reached this conclusion as he hurriedly moved to thwart the second Hellgate, having just dealt with the first one.

Intentionally seizing Ouroboros, the Legion Commander summoned through the second Hellgate, Mu-Gun aimed to extract information about the Demon God's whereabouts from him.

Kugh! Do you think I will tell you? Even if you are going to kill me, so be it. I will never tell you the location of the Great Demon God! shouted Ouroboros in pain with a distorted expression.

As expected, your loyalty to the Demon God is great. However, even if your mouth does not speak, your memory is probably different, said Mu-Gun.

What? What are you trying to do?

I am going to absorb your Demon Heart and read the memory within it.

Similar to monsters having Mana Hearts, demons possessed Demon Hearts. These served as cores for demonic energy, and by absorbing a Demon Heart, Mu-Gun could not only assimilate the demonic energy but also gain access to the memories held by the Demon Heart's owner.

Thats absolute nonsense. Are you implying that Gods representative will absorb my Demon Heart, which possesses demonic divinity? If you do that, your divinity will collide with the demonic divinity, devouring your soul.

I will find out once I try it.

Disregarding Ouroboros' words, Mu-Gun reached for his chest. The left hand of the Dragon Scale Divine Armor effortlessly pierced through Ouroboros' chest. Upon withdrawal, a small blackish-red marble emerged between his fingers the Demon Heart, the very wellspring of demonic power.

Having lost his Demon Heart, Ouroboros disintegrated into powder. Mu-Gun disengaged the Dragon Scale Divine Armor and then proceeded to inspect the Demon Heart he had acquired from Ouroboros.

The Demon Heart exuded immense demonic energy, causing Mu-Gun's Thunder God Qi to react intensely even with just a touch. Absorbing the Demon Heart in his present state risked a perilous clash between his divinity and the demonic divinity within the heart, a scenario Ouroboros had warned about a collision that could potentially shatter Mu-Gun's soul.

To assimilate the Demon Heart, Mu-Gun needed to nullify its demonic energy first. His plan involved using the Thunder God Qi to eliminate the demonic energy within the heart before absorbing it.

Despite the potential risk of erasing Ouroboros' memories while extracting the demonic energy from the Demon Heart, Mu-Gun deemed it necessary to attempt the process.
