My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 488 - 489: Demon God Abyss—Fall!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
The Divine Sword, gripped firmly by Gu Xing and Liu Li, had fully targeted its mark.
A chilling aura of utter destruction, cold enough to pierce the bones, struck straight at Yuan's core.
"This... this is..."
His gaze abruptly stiffened.
A sensation buried deep from his endless cycles of ruin...
Terror resurfaced in his thoughts.
Death!
True death, where his very being would be wiped clean!
The absolute end, severed brutally from the Demon Abyss's origin!
"No! I am a Demon God, forever immortal!"
"Bound eternally to the Demon Abyss! How dare mere insects..."
In a mix of dread and rage, his last bellow rang out as Demon God Abyss desperately channeled his Divine Power for a final desperate push.
Yet the enormous blade, wrapped in a turbulent glow of chaos, was already crashing down.
No explosive force shaking the earth, no path ripping across the cosmos.
It just sliced down in a simple arc.
Wherever the edge swept, it didn't slice space but wiped out all that existed.
Time, space, energy, matter...
Even Demon God Abyss's frantic cry, the moment it brushed the sword's path,
vanished without a trace, as if scrubbed from a canvas, dissolving into nothingness.
The dark realm of Demon God Abyss, under this blade's edge,
rapidly grew see-through and ethereal, breaking down into the rawest form of energy.
Just a thin strand, barely noticeable, brimming with utter defiance,
lingered faintly in the ears of Gu Xing and the others before fading away entirely:
"This... can't be!"
The fading whisper sank back into endless quiet.
Demon God Abyss, the nightmare unleashing boundless disaster,
who once toppled the Dragon Emperor and cast the Alternate Space in gloom of doom,
was now totally obliterated, body and soul destroyed.
...
In that very instant.
Across the allied forces' front lines.
The Demon Race horde, surging like a dark frenzy against the barriers,
abruptly came to a standstill without any sign!
Be it the airborne demons soaring above, the hulking earth-bound Demon Race, or the Totem Level Demon Kings locked in brutal combat,
their actions stopped dead, as though held by some unseen grip.
On their savage visages, the looks of frenzy, savage hunger, and wrath froze solid.
Substituted by profound puzzlement, disorientation, and...
a fear that spread like wildfire.
"Roar... no... Lord Yuan..."
"The Lord's presence... it's fading..."
"Power... my strength is slipping away!!"
"No! Impossible! Lord Demon God is eternal and undying!!"
After a split second of utter hush, pandemonium and anguished cries exploded!
Myriad Demon Race troops realized with horror.
The strength flowing from the Demon God inside them was draining at an alarming rate!
Their forms started to falter and lag without control.
Even the frailer low-tier Demon Race began crumbling into dark dust from their limbs, blowing away on the breeze!
"This is..."
Wei Yuan, locked in savage combat with the colossal ape demon,
stared in shock as his savage foe halted abruptly,
then howled in agony before crumpling down, its frame visibly withering.
What's going on?
Only Tushan Yueli, positioned at the battle's epicenter and watching over it all, was first stunned by the sight.
Then she felt the overwhelming dread and ruinous intent from Demon God Abyss,
pulling back and dissolving like an ebbing wave!
Comprehension dawned on her.
The Demon God... is defeated!
Gu Xing triumphed!
Grasping this truth.
For the first time, her exquisitely perfect features, strained to their limit, softened with relief.
At once, her command rang out across the whole field of battle.
"The Demon God has fallen to Lord Gu Xing's hand; the Demon Race relying on him has taken a devastating hit!"
"All forces, strike hard! Wipe out these demons, and triumph is ours!"
Tushan Yueli's declaration acted like a flame hitting hot oil, setting the entire coalition ablaze!
After a momentary daze....
"We've triumphed?! Lord Gu Xing has prevailed!!"
"The Demon God is slain! The Demon God has perished!!"
"Hahaha! These cursed demons are done for! Brothers, forward!!"
"For Lord Gu Xing! For victory! Full advance——!!!"
Thunderous roars of jubilation burst from every part of the allied ranks!
The weary fighters felt a surge of boundless vigor in that instant.
Their gazes blazed anew with passionate resolve.
They hurled themselves at the disorganized Demon Race troops!
Like an avalanche in motion!
Deprived of the Demon God's empowering force, the Demon Race forces plunged into total disorder.
They ceased being unstoppable killing tools.
Rather, they turned into panicked prey, scattering in terror, crushing one another, or standing frozen for the kill.
The coalition harvested the field like snapping brittle twigs and shattering frail barriers.
Long Zhenguo observed the tide of retaliation from above, hearing the booming cries of success.
His eyes grew faintly bloodshot.
He balled his hand into a fist, nails biting into flesh, barely holding back his surging feelings.
Victory...
Gu Xing truly accomplished it!
He vanquished the Demon God!
Rescued the whole realm!
...
Deep within the Demon Realm.
The Demonic Qi, dense as syrup and constantly howling and churning,
cut off from its root, swiftly diluted and purified.
In the end, it morphed into untainted energy, scattering into the Void.
At the clash's heart, Gu Xing and Liu Li held their linked positions.
This blow, while it felled the Demon God successfully, had almost emptied their Divine Positions of all power.
Yet every bit of it proved worthwhile.
Now, out of the ten Demon Gods, one stood slain at last!
And as this Demon God perished, the released energy started flowing toward Gu Xing.
But...
Gu Xing chose not to seize it for himself.
Taking in this power would merely boost his Level by a single rank at best.
Still, passing it to Sally
would let her leap across time nodes right away.
Besides.
Gu Xing's eyes shifted to the remaining Demon Gates.
Without Yuan's Demonic Qi to sustain them, these nearly wide-open Demon Gates started sealing shut gradually.
The threat to the Alternate Space might have passed, yet...
What of tomorrow?
If Demon God Abyss could breach the Demon Gate to invade this plane,
then surely other Demon Gods could follow suit!
Remember, Demon God Abyss ranked tenth among the Demon Gods.
He had the briefest reign as a Demon God in the Demon Race.
Though he had managed to eliminate the tenth Demon God,
how would he fare against the foremost one?
Gu Xing lacked any assurance.
Thus, he had to grasp every chance to grow mightier.
If he could...
His sight returned to the Demon Gates.
He yearned even more to guide a squad of Guardian Beasts straight into the Demon Abyss.
To root out every lurking danger for good!
With that in mind, Gu Xing called forth Sally.
The top priority remained aiding Sally in reclaiming the Time Spirit Race's Divine Pattern.
Furthermore, he sought to learn...
how the Demon Abyss had first been sealed away!
