Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1194  The Three Troublemakers Of The Temple Of Ten Thousand Gods [Part 1]

The Thirteenth Layer of the Abyss was in shambles.

Countless cracks could be seen in the sky, and a large portion of it had already collapsed.

The land had countless fissures in it, and the only place that remained standing was the mountain where Queen Rhiannon's castle stood.

The entire layer had also darkened considerably. Only Antero's burning eyes, as well as the eyes of the creatures that glowed in the dark, could be seen in the surroundings. Although the Thirteenth Layer's degradation had been put to a screeching halt, it still looked like a world that was about to meet its end.

Antero was the only creature that was preventing it from being destroyed completely, but all of that could change the moment he decided to attack Daniel and his cronies.

The Golem of Destruction was paying close attention to Dia's vital signs and aura. Although her presence was still as weak as a flickering flame, it still held strong and refused to be snuffed out.

Slowly but surely, a golden candle emerged from the baby's chest. Its light burned brightly amidst the darkness that surrounded it.

Dia slept peacefully without a care in the world as if the process of something very powerful and important to her being extracted from her body had no meaning.

Earlier, Queen Rhiannon heard a voice inside her head.

It was a childish voice telling her that everything was going to be fine, so she didn't need to burn her life force in order to save her daughter.

The voice also told her to let Daniel take the Pillar of Eternity from Dia's body, for the artifact would not serve the Pseudo-God even if it fell into his hands.

Queen Rhiannon didn't know from whom or where the voice had come from, but she felt that this voice was from someone who was on their side.

Because of this, she stopped Antero's attack and decided to trust the owner of the voice by telling Daniel that he could take the Pillar of Eternity from Dia's body.

Although she believed that Antero would do everything in his power to revive her and her daughter, it was still better if both of them could live without needing to have their current vessels destroyed.

Two hours later, the Golden Candle had been fully extracted from Dia's body.

Queen Rhiannon quickly descended in front of Daniel and hurriedly but gently took her baby from his arms.

After that, she glared at Daniel one last time before flying toward the castle in order to let Dia have a proper rest.

Antero gave his granddaughter a glance and felt relieved that she was safe and unharmed from the extraction of the Pillar of Eternity from her soul.

"Go and leave this place," Antero said in a cold tone. "I do not want to see any of you ever again."

"We will leave as promised, Antero," Daniel said while holding the golden candle, whose light was burning brightly in his hand. "However, I want you to promise me as well that you will not become my enemy. I kept my part of the bargain, so you keep your part as well."

"Go," Antero repeated. "I will not repeat myself a third time."

Although he didn't affirm or reject Daniel's words, the Pseudo-God could tell that Antero no longer planned to antagonize him. Even though the Golem of Destruction could destroy the Abyss if it wanted to by waking up Azathoth, it would only do this as a last resort.

The Abyss was his home, and he must have an attachment to it, so Dabiel believed that he would not dare to destroy it unless his hands were forced.

Daniel then commanded his army to follow him toward the 12th Layer of the Abyss.

Now that the way was clear, no one was stopping him from reaching the First Layer, where the portals leading to the countless words were located. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Daniel now had three Pillars of Eternity in his possession. He only needed two more to complete his ascension to Godhood and gain the power that he had desired for many years.

But before that, he would first have his revenge on Solais and Elysium.

He had long wished to destroy the two worlds with his own two hands, and soon, he would obtain the power to do that.

When the Abyssal Army had all passed through to the 12th Layer, Antero raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The Thirteenth Layer started recovering at a rapid pace as it greedily absorbed the power of the Abyss.

The cracks in the sky disappeared, and the portion of the sky that had collapsed was once again filled up, making it look as if nothing had happened.

All the fissures on the ground closed up as well, and the place where the parts of the sky fell transformed into a lake that shimmered like crystal.

With a wave of his hand, Antero once again sealed the Thirteenth Layer, excluding it from the grand battle that was about to commence between the Pseudo-God, who wished to become a God, and the Necromancer of Heaven, who had seen the battle in the Abyss from start to end.

Lux looked at the crystal ball that was being held by Cupid with a complicated look on his face.

Eiko, who was perched on top of his head, looked at the Dim Sum God, who was also perched on top of the head of a little girl, whom the Half-Elf labeled as "Red Riding Hood".

The Dim Sum God and the Baby Slime held each other's gaze and smiled.

The Dim Sum God thought that the Baby Slime was a kindred spirit who also liked to perch on top of people's heads.

On the other hand, Eiko was wondering if the Dim Sum God tasted good because it looked very delicious in her eyes.

While the two little ones were appraising each other, the Loli Goddess, Lily, was paying close attention to the Half-Elf, who now had a solemn expression on his face.

Lux was relieved that Queen Rhiannon and Dia were safe, but he also felt pressured because he knew that it was only a matter of time before Daniel appeared in their world.

Once that happened, a clash between them would be inevitable, and Lux still had no idea how he would beat Daniel in battle.

Seeing his expression, a smile crept up Lily's face. Unlike the mortal who didn't know how to fight against a Pseudo-God, who wielded the power of an Outer God, she knew how to give Lux a fighting chance.

This was also the reason why Eriol and Max allowed the three Gods to descend in Elysium.

The three Troublemakers were the only Gods within the Temple of the Ten Thousand Gods who could get away with breaking a few rules because of the connections they had with the other Gods.

Although they were not strong as individuals, the three of them combined could move mountains if need be.

And they would do just that.

Move a big mountain so that Lux could meet with someone, who might be able to give him the knowledge that would allow him to fight against Daniel, who wielded the power of an Outer God that could potentially destroy all of creation the moment it opened its eyes.
