Asmodeus, revived but wounded, unleashed his gemstone scepter against Richard, distorting space with hellish energy. Richard gripped the scepter despite searing pain, countering with boundless yellow sand power. The Ninth Hell Lord absorbed the souls of fallen gods like the Light Goddess and Spider Goddess Lolita, then drew vast energy from the Ninth Hell itself. Richard responded by unleashing his full authority, the Desert of Death, Eternal Land, and World Tree support, clashing head-on in an escalating battle of titans.

A horrifying energy barrier sprang from the clash, blocking off all from the outside world.

Windsor attempted to assist Richard, yet despair hit her as she saw the clash had birthed a unique force field. To strike at either fighter, the field first had to be ripped open.

This amounted to battling both foes together!

Windsor had burned through vast power to fully slay the gods. Now, she lacked the might to pierce their joint barrier!

Her anxiety boiled over, but she could only gaze helplessly at the man who'd taken the deadly blow for her. He clutched the scepter stabbing his chest and confronted Asmodeus directly with raw power.

Regretful tears cascaded down her cheeks. She never should have dropped her guard!

The live stream viewers neared insanity. They'd just relished victory's thrill, only to witness the enemy steal it away right then.

That sensation could shatter anyone's sanity.

"F*cking dog, you don't care about martial ethics! Sneak attack!!"

"What should Boss Qingqiu do now? Who can help Boss Qingqiu!"

"You must hold on! I can't fall here!"

The sudden reversal struck like lightning. Players everywhere sensed utter mental and physical fatigue, nerves pulled to breaking point.

Nobody craved a final-hour flip!

Under the crowd's intense tension, time dragged unbearably slow.

One hour, two hours! Just five hours ticked by, but live stream watchers felt like ages had crawled past.

The duel stayed deadlocked!

Richard's Death Desert provided unyielding support. His exclusive Land of Eternity nurtured the World Tree. This firm base fueled his extraordinary power.

He needed only to outlast the final two days—dragging it out would let him reshape the entire battlefield!

Richard's determination stood ironclad, immovable.

Asmodeus detected Richard's dreadful prowess too, unease swelling in his chest to heights of terror he'd never known.

He bellowed toward the heavens.

"Bardi! Destroy this reptile's territory. I want to destroy everything he has!"

His maniacal howl reverberated across the Ninth Hell, beyond Twilight City in their wake.

Commander Bardi ruled the Ninth Hell's first layer as Devil Lord. A shiver ran through him, eyes igniting with ferocity.

He thrust high his massive flame-wreathed sword and thundered to sky and earth!

"Everyone! Charge with me!"

That abomination's presence had faded hours earlier. Asmodeus had unleashed a Chaos Divine Sin moments ago.

The enemy had forsaken the city.

No more holding back!

He rallied his final reserve forces and advanced relentlessly.

Two level 30 demigod devils, over 20 legends, more than 40 transcendents—this lineup terrified.

Formerly, it could obliterate an empire in a flash!

Richard sensed the desert forces shadowing Asmodeus and lifted his gaze.

"All the players who are still alive. Protect Twilight City for me. That is our last hope!"

"I'll leave everything to you!"

His call stirred every soul in the live stream. With Asmodeus's scepter through his chest, he stood firm.

"Boss Qingqiu has already done so much. Can't we even defend a city?"

"There are only two days left! Our defense will resurrect us!"

"It's time to give it a try. We die, and we'll die on the battlefield!"

Actions sufficed over speeches. Richard's conduct laid it all bare.

Fear meant no rescuers!

Explosive updates flooded in: Demon troops hammered Twilight City, shredded the void, spawning demons into Ell Plane.

The link to Eternal Land drew the demon horde's fiercest strikes.

War blazed alive across Ell Plane.

This boundless realm favored epic clashes over Twilight City's confines.

Endless abominations flooded in, unleashing their savage might.

These were the aids bent on severing Twilight City's roots.

Ell's downfall would crush Twilight City flat!

The conflict hit a scorching new height!

Grim tidings kept surging. Live stream player counts plunged fast.

Each posted a final note.

"We can hold it!"

These stark phrases brimmed with resolve!

"Defend? With what? Take their lives!"

Players hurled their surviving troops into Ell's fray.

A deep tragic aura stirred all hearts watching live stream numbers crash.

"Defend the last line of defense, defend Twilight City! Do not let Boss Qingqiu down. That must be our only goal!"

No holds barred now. At worst, they'd fall with Qingqiu!

During moments of peril, certain folks pulled back, trembled in terror, concealed themselves, or outright yielded and stabbed their allies in the back. Yet, valiant champions surged forth in droves, pressing ahead with bold resolve!

This conflict was destined to become the grandest and most heartrending legendary clash in the annals of the "Shining Era"!

Devil Lord Bardi from the first layer of the Ninth Hell guided his troops straight into Twilight City and launched a frenzied massacre without delay.

But as he prepared to unleash his assault, warriors overflowing with combat zeal suddenly blocked his path!

Dark Valkyrie Renee, fearless warrior centaur Emily, dark soul eater Kratos, golden lion of greed, and undead dragon hero faced him without a shred of fear!
