Chapter 1468 - 571: Becoming the World’s Cornerstone (2)

"No! Stop!"

Chadite shouted outside.

However, at this moment.

Alka suddenly raised his head and revealed a smile.

The crowd in front of the execution platform noticed Alka’s smile and saw him wink at them.

"Want to execute me? Dream on, hahahaha!"

Amid Alka’s laughter.

In the situation of the swinging sword, Alka’s body suddenly condensed into crystal under the chains that bound his body and soul.

"Clang!"

The demon’s furious blade swung at the crystal, but it had no effect on it.

It seemed as though a soul-like entity emerged from Alka’s body, transforming into specks of light scattered outwards.

Alka’s body, turned into crystal, then formed into a towering Crystal Pillar, immediately breaking through the spatial shell of the execution ground.

The sudden transformation made everyone stop in their tracks.

Even the Divine suddenly paused.

The towering Crystal Pillar was exceptionally hard, connected to the world like the Tower of Trial, indestructible.

A powerful wave of order emanated frantically around, pushing away the abyssal aura that had permeated the front line in an instant.

The demons could almost immediately feel the power within their bodies wildly diminishing.

This place was becoming the domain of order.

Seeing this situation.

The Four Gods immediately took action, their power transforming into beams of light, flowing down from beyond the world into the crystal.

Chadite and Lucilia seemed to understand something too.

Their power transformed into threads, flowing into the Crystal Pillar.

The silhouettes of the gods gradually faded away.

The figures of the Evil Gods also followed suit, disappearing.

Sarunster, with a complex expression, looked at the Crystal Pillar rising beside him.

Their actions succeeded but, in some circumstances, also failed.

With the execution ground shattering within their wrapping, their figures also became gradually illusory because the execution ground was forcibly transferred here.

The appearances of these Demon Lords followed the planetary destruction to the place where Alka had previously been trapped.

Only a towering crystal stone seat was left radiating brilliance in the original place.

Invisible threads of power linked from beyond the world to the Crystal Pillar.

With the retreat of the Demon Lords.

Numerous demons had been eyeing the surroundings for a long time, instantly charging forward.

Because many humans had rushed down from the city walls.

"Rally to me!"

With the shout.

These humans who dashed down the city walls began to gather into defensive lines, retreating as they fought.

"What’s going on, these demons’ powers... so weak!"

"Could it be that..."

Everyone noticed that these demons’ powers had become exceedingly feeble, even weaker than they once were at the Demon Defense Wall, not to mention compared to before.

In this situation, with the help of Chadite and them, they were actually able to repel the demons head-on below the city walls. The demons couldn’t withstand them at all, not even leaving a few corpses behind.

They retreated slowly to the edge of the city wall and climbed back up using the reserved ladders.

Under the siege machinery and the suppression by the soldiers on the city walls, those demons did not even possess the strength to charge to the bottom of the city walls.

The contributing factor is self-evident.

The Crystal Pillar in the sky.

...

"So what ultimately is the problem?"

Inside the Obsidian Hall of the volcano, eight Demon Lords gathered here.

The slim, tall demon with red skin stretched over a spiked skeleton like it had no flesh asked.

He only saw Sarunster preparing to strike Alka with a sword, but the anticipated scene did not occur.

Then this transformation appeared.

Sarunster sat on a throne, supporting his head with his hand, as if pondering something, without responding.

At this moment, Farol turned his head, looking at the demon figure made of black smoke beside him.

"Would you care to explain?"

"I can feel it, and did indeed witness Alka’s death firsthand.

He must have realized his inevitable death, so he contributed something to this world before dying."

"Be clear on that."

"Before dying, he burned his soul, transforming his body into that gigantic Crystal Pillar.

By transforming his body and burning his soul, he forcibly suppressed the chaos in the World Scar region.

Now I can clearly feel that although the Dream Realm corresponding to it is dissipating, the power of the Dream Realm can guide the world-repairing power to the outside through the Crystal Pillar.

By means of this sacrificial method, he is suppressing the World Scar."

Upon hearing this.

The demons roughly understood.

"But haven’t we still gained nothing? Instead, we’ve been subjected to even greater suppression! So we’ve shamefully failed?"

Confronted by this frantic demon.

Sarunster, sitting on the throne, suddenly spoke.

"No, we succeeded."

As he spoke, Sarunster stood up.

"The corresponding Dream Realm is disappearing, the burning soul, and the Crystal Pillar will not last long."

The demon shrouded in black fog nodded.

"Indeed, they must also know this Pillar should only last about 10 years. Then both the Dream Realm and the Crystal Pillar in reality, along with those soul specks, will dissipate into smoke.
