Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1174  Waking Up To A Living Nightmare [Part 2]

Half an hour later, the Sovereign of one of the strongest organizations in the world, finally drew his last breath. The battle lasted longer than Nyarlathotep expected. The Outer God thought that they would be able to kill the old man in a short period of time, but the latter fought tooth and nail, without even trying to escape.

Even with such overwhelming disparity in numbers, the Sovereign of the Divine Army was able to kill thirty Demigods before he finally died.

Nyarlathotep didn't care for the deaths of its subordinates, and simply took the Golden Scales from the dead man's hand and activated its ability.

The Demigods who had died in battle, including the dead Sovereign, transformed into golden abominations, empowered by its Divinity.

All of them looked exactly the same, which made the surviving Demigods unable to tell which of them were the comrades they knew in the past.

After being changed into abominations, and imbued with the power of the Golden Scales, all of their strength rose to the peak of the Demigod Rank.

The Golden Statue that the Sovereign had summoned lay on the ground, cracked in several places. It had fought valiantly, but it couldn't stop the inevitable. With a wave of Nyarlathotep's hands, the chest of the Giant shattered, and the dome that protected the Apostles emerged.

A devilish laugh emerged from Nyarlathotep's lips as the Golden Scales in his hand turned black.

The Apostles sleeping inside their cylindrical containers started to squirm in their sleep as if they were having a bad dream.

Half a minute later, their containers shattered and from them emerged several horrifying abominations with countless eyes and tentacles protruding from their bodies.

These abominations also turned golden in color, similar to the Demigods that the Outer God had raised from the dead a mere moment ago.

"One down," Nyarlathotep sneered. "One more to go."

Nyarlathotep then walked towards the portal in order to go to his next battlefield.

The Golden Abominations and the Demigods followed behind him. They didn't know where they were going next, but one thing was clear.

The Outer God was now in possession of one of the Pillars of Eternity.

He was already very powerful, but with the Divine Artifact in his hand, he became more horrifying.

The portal only closed when the last Demigod finally entered inside of it, leaving behind the destroyed Headquarters of the Divine Army, which their Organization believed to be the safest place in the world of Elysium. ————————— Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Western Region of Elysium…

The battle between the Abyss and the Alliance was in full swing.

Nyarlathotep didn't send any of his Demigods out to fight against the Alliance, and simply ordered the Calamity-Ranked Abyssal Monsters to cast long distance spells to harass their enemy's formation.

Although they were weaker than Demigods, their attacks were nothing to scoff at.

 Because of this, the Alliance was forced into a defensive formation, with the floating islands belonging to the Crystal Palace, flying in the lead.

Keoza unleashed his powers, and tanked the attacks that were headed in their direction, keeping his allies safe.

However, what made the Heads of the Alliance frown was that the magical bombardment seemed unending.

It was as if the Calamity Ranked Monsters had an unlimited supply of Mana, empowering their spells that could obliterate dozens of flying ships without Keoza's protection.

The return fire of the alliance was also brutal, taking the lives of countless calamity-ranked monsters.

However, due to Nyarlathotep's ability to raise them into Abominations, the battle had reached a stalemate.

The Alliance couldn't push forward, and the Abyssal Forces weren't letting them gain any ground.

Eiko had left the battlefield and returned to the Ford Federation.

Her trump card was still not ready, and she needed to be there to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

She had been with the Alliance earlier, but Nyarlathotep had continued to flee after engaging them for a period of time.

The Outer God was using Guerrilla tactics against them, using the Giant Black Tentacles to move its forces anywhere in the terrain, and unleashing a bombardment of attacks in the blind spots of the Alliance.

Also, Eiko could feel that something wasn't right.

Because of this, she prioritized creating her strongest Creature, using the Giant Bone Cauldron.

It had already been more than a week since the Bone Cauldron started to create the Monster. However, whatever it was cooking, it was taking a very long time for it to be ready.

Eiko didn't know what kind of Monster would appear, but given the fact that it possessed Ten Demigod Cores in its body, it would definitely be a force to reckon with.

This was why she needed to return, and ensure that her new subordinate would be born safely, and left the Alliance to fight the sly Outer God, who chose its battle very well.

Somewhere in the Ford Federation…

"Still not done?" Eiko asked the Giant Bone Cauldron as she fed her pet Sea Otter, which she named, Lucky, with a cookie. "This Monster is a bit special," the Bone Cauldron replied. "I cannot rush its creation."

Eiko nodded as she continued to feed Lucky, who was just a month-old sea otter.

She had found him as an egg, as she and Fei Fei were scouring the oceans for Demigod Cores.

The egg was frozen in ice, and was located at a very desolate place, bereft of anything.

Avery even commented that the egg was already hundreds of years old, and shouldn't have survived after being trapped in ice.

However, to his surprise, Eiko just sat on top of the egg for an entire day before it hatched.

Because of this, the Baby Slime decided to name the baby Sea Otter, Lucky.

It was only due to pure luck that it managed to be birthed, despite the situation it found itself in.

Fei Fei also took care of the Sea Otter whenever Eiko was away, making the baby Monster treat the Baby Golden Slime like a caring older sister.

"Avery, what do you think?" Eiko asked her Vice Captain. "About the war?" Avery inquired.

"Mmm."

"I have a feeling that the Outer God is just buying time. It's like it is luring the Alliance farther, and farther away from the center of the continent."

Eiko nodded. She also felt that something was amiss, so she decided to stay away from the battlefield for the time being.

However, just as she was about to feed Lucky another cookie, a portal appeared hundreds of meters away from Poseidon.

Avery immediately sensed the power of the Outer God, and immediately stood between Eiko, and the enemy, who was supposed to be fighting against the combined might of the Alliance.

"Peekaboo, I see you," Nyarlathotep sneered as it and the Demigods appeared to surround the Giant Bone Ship that was far out into the sea.

The Outer God laughed after finally cornering the little pest that had been getting in its way. "You've messed with my plans long enough," Nyarlathotep stated. "Time for you to die."

With that, it signaled its force to attack the Baby Slime, who was still holding a cookie in her hand to feed to the Sea Otter who had started to cry.
