Chapter 444 - 445: Voranthos Reopens!
After speaking these words, Aster Grant suddenly turned around, facing the Demon God who had already gathered his Demonic Qi to its peak!
Iris Ashford gave a deep, final gaze at that departing figure, as if engraving this silhouette that was saving her from peril into the deepest recesses of her soul.
Immediately, she uttered a sorrowful phoenix cry that pierced the clouds and rocks, as her Pseudo-God Power erupted around her.
She swept up Isabelle, who was forcibly constrained by the Contractual Power, tears streaming down her face yet powerless to resist.
Transforming into a brilliant stream of light tearing through The Void, she fled headlong toward the direction of Alternate Space!
"Humph! Did I allow you to leave?"
These successive provocations and changes finally completely ignited the fury of Demon God Valley.
Seeing Iris Ashford trying to flee right before his eyes, he snorted coldly, his Circulation Demon Energy boiling in response!
A vast Demon Power suddenly split into two; one forming a sinister demonic claw that covered the sky and obscured the sun.
With incredible Speed, it enveloped Iris Ashford, who had turned into a stream of light.
The other transformed into a destructive torrent of Demonic Qi, crushing down upon Sally, who was entirely focused on fusing the Divine Pattern, and the Guardian Aster Grant!
He intended to capture and then utterly erase these ants who had repeatedly offended him from the world!
"Sally! Hurry!"
Aster Grant’s pupils contracted sharply, roaring with urgency!
Even as he reminded her, he was recklessly burning what little remained, his nearly depleted soul essence.
Extracting the last of his Spiritual Power, he formed a spiritual barrier, soaring upward against the tide.
Attempting to earn Sally that crucial fusion time!
Sally understood, her eyes reflecting absolute focus.
Her small body trembled violently from excessively invoking the Time Law.
Her seven orifices began to seep crimson threads of blood, yet her hands fusing the Divine Pattern remained steady as a rock, not a single tremble!
Faster!
It must be even faster!
"Boom——!!!!!"
The initial torrent of Demonic Qi from the enraged Demon God slammed into the spiritual barrier Aster Grant had erected!
Almost without suspense!
In the face of the absolute difference in Power, the defense Aster Grant had poured everything into constructing shattered and collapsed like paper in an instant!
His Soul Body suffered grave injuries, emitting a pained muffled grunt, becoming even more transparent and ethereal.
The edges even began to show signs of dissipating, as if he would completely vanish in the next moment!
Yet, the most terrifying part was that after the torrent of Demonic Qi shattered the barrier, its force waned little.
It still surged with the stance to destroy everything, continuing to rush toward the powerless Aster Grant and Sally, who was in the crucial phase of fusion!
If directly hit, with their Totem Level strength, their souls would be obliterated, with no hope of survival!
What to do?
What to do?
Aster Grant watched this attack, desperation burning in his heart.
He originally thought that by burning all his Power, he could block the Demon God’s attack for a moment.
But...
He misjudged!
And the cost of the misjudgment... was the lives of both him and Sally!
Seeing Sally’s fusion was advancing to the final stage, Aster Grant clenched his teeth.
Suddenly stepping forward.
He intended to use his body to block this attack!
But...
Using his body to withstand a strike from the Demon God, the outcome is predictable.
But...
Just as the torrent of Demonic Qi was about to completely engulf Aster Grant.
An unexpected change arose!
Aster Grant felt a contract link deep within his soul, which originally lay dormant, suddenly grow hot!
A familiar and warm Power surged forcefully toward him, as if traversing endless space-time barriers!
This Power, carrying the unique protective will of Lazuli, instantly filled his nearly dry soul!
It’s Lazuli!
It’s Lazuli’s Power!
Though unaware of the reason, in this moment of life and death, Aster Grant had not a moment of hesitation.
Almost instinctively, he channeled this spontaneously emerging Power of Guardian.
Activating the single trump card he could use right now for survival—
"Divine Protection! Absolute Defense!"
Buzz—!
A radiant and dazzling golden Light Shield, embodying the Supreme Guardian Law, unfolded abruptly with Aster Grant at its center!
Upon the Light Shield, the ultimate Guardian Law flowed!
"Booming——!!!!"
The torrent of Demonic Qi from Demon God Valley, powerful enough to obliterate stars, fiercely crashed against the Divine Protection Light Shield!
However, this time, the result was entirely different!
The terrifying Demonic Qi, which could easily tear apart Aster Grant’s spiritual barrier, collided with the golden Light Shield...
Exploding in a deafening roar, yet not displacing it an inch!
The golden Light Shield stood steadfast, protecting Aster Grant and Sally, who was fully engaged in Divine Pattern fusion, from any Demonic Qi erosion or destructive Energy!
"What?!"
In the sky, Demon God Valley’s scarlet eyes revealed obvious astonishment for the first time!
This human...
Actually blocked his attack!
"Sally! Make use of this time!"
Simultaneously.
Aster Grant, enduring soul-rending pain, roared back at Sally behind him.
He knew that while Divine Protection was strong, it could only block one attack.
They had to complete the fusion of the Divine Pattern and the opening of Voranthos within this precious period of invulnerability!
Sally dared not be distracted, accelerating her fusion speed to the limit!
The Time Spirit Divine Pattern Fragment in her hand shone brightly, resonating with the clock-like mark on her forehead.
A vague illusion of a Voranthos was rapidly condensing behind her, becoming clear!
"Humph! Let’s see how long your tortoise shell can hold out!"
Demon God Valley snapped back from his astonishment, his eyes filled with even greater killing intent.
Even more terrifying attacks began to brew!
The skies above the Demon Abyss seemed to be on the verge of collapse!
And at this moment.
"Buzz——!!!"
The Time Spirit Divine Pattern Fragment in Sally’s hand suddenly erupted with dazzling light!
A vast illusion of Voranthos formed from countless threads of time was fully solidified, flowing gently behind her!
Though extremely unstable, it exuded a truly supreme aura that transcended ordinary Laws!
The fusion, successful!
Simultaneously, an invisible ripple of time spread from Sally, engulfing the entire battlefield!
Under the Function of the Divine Pattern which had fused one-third of the Time Spirit Divine Pattern Fragment...
The time flow on the entire battlefield fell into absolute stagnation!
The winds halted, Demonic Qi solidified, sound vanished.
The sky-covering demonic claw aimed at Iris Ashford was frozen in the air.
The anger brewing for more terrifying attacks on his face also completely solidified.
Even the overwhelming Demonic Qi gathering in the sky seemed like a photo frozen in time...
All went silent, only the Voranthos illusion behind Sally flowed quietly.
Relying on the Power of the Divine Pattern, Sally forcibly halted time in this area once more!
Aster Grant watched this seemingly miraculous scene, his nerves that had been stretched taut finally able to relax slightly, overwhelmed by a huge feeling of weakness.
He took one last deep look at Demon God Valley in the sky, whose sense of time was frozen, yet still emitting horrifying Demon Power.
He engraved this silhouette, which brought endless oppression and embarrassment, deep in his soul.
This was the second time!
Both times facing the Demon God were so embarrassing.
Next time...
When they meet again, he will not be this powerless!
"Go!"
He didn’t hesitate anymore, using his last ounce of strength to pull the weakened Sally, who was exhausted from invoking the Divine Pattern, jumping into the Voranthos illusion.
Their figures vanished in an instant.
And the Voranthos illusion also began to ripple violently, slowly dissipating into The Void.
