My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 507 - 508: The Demon God in Dire Straits!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Eighth Layer.
The instant Gu Xing entered this area, a strange sensation washed over him.
Demonic Qi's density in this place surpassed that of the Ninth Layer by a huge margin.
Nearly tenfold compared to the Ninth Layer!
Gu Xing scanned his surroundings before uttering slowly:
"Since you’re all here, there’s no need to hide."
Right from entering this realm, Gu Xing had detected seven strands of Spiritual Power surrounding him.
He didn't need to speculate; these belonged to the leftover seven Demon Gods.
Once his words landed, ripples distorted the space ahead of him.
Right away, seven forms boasting unique and fearsome presences emerged from the twisted spatial fluctuations.
Their emergence caused the Demonic Qi across the whole Eighth Layer to surge wildly.
Leading them was a churning blob of black Qi in perpetual motion.
It lacked any stable shape, resembling a perpetual void that swallowed light and never ceased.
This being was the Second Demon God—End!
Flanking it on either side stood the Third Demon God Crystal Erosion and the Fourth Demon God Nightmare!
Trailing these three came the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Demon Gods!
The seven Demon Gods' Spiritual Power intertwined to form an unseen vast web, tightly ensnaring Gu Xing and his allies.
"Humans..."
End's tone rang hollow and detached, striking straight at the soul.
"You’ve stepped into a place you shouldn’t have, disturbing the eternal slumber."
"Your existence, your power, along with everyone around you... will return to nothingness here."
Gu Xing fixed his eyes on the leading three Demon Gods, sensing their overwhelming might...
These three Demon Gods' strength far outstripped the Tenth and Ninth ones he had vanquished earlier.
Yet, he had foreseen this exact scenario.
Demon Gods' ranking follows the sequence of their ascension to the Demon God Level.
The top three Demon Gods date back to the Demon Abyss's very origin, holding the Demon God Level ever since.
But what of it?
Though his power now lingered only at Totem Tier Nine, Gu Xing brimmed with assurance to challenge these Demon Gods, bolstered by channeling his Divine Position Power into multiple Guardian Beasts!
Besides, if he failed to overcome even a Demon God...
How would he ever face the architects behind these Demon Gods?
Gu Xing gently shut his eyes, only to fling them open in the following instant.
Suddenly.
A vast, formless divine intent, akin to a dormant dragon stirring to life, burst forth from his core!
Then, this divine intent morphed into eight radiant and pristine energy flows, channeling into the eight Guardian Beasts at his back.
In that instant, Gu Xing sensed his mind no longer standing alone.
His awareness divided into eight parts, but stayed unified, seamlessly merging with each Guardian Beast's essence.
He became one with them, and they with him.
Every detail from the Guardian Beasts reached him clearly, just as all his perceptions flowed to the Guardian Beasts in return.
Divine Position Resonance!
And it's the simultaneous resonance across eight Divine Positions!
"Buzz——!!!"
Liu Li, Lilith, Qing Shuang, Vera, Long Qingyan, Fei Yue, Sally, Tushan Yueli!
Eight shafts of divine glow, varying in hue but all brilliantly commanding, soared skyward from his eight partners!
At this juncture, their presences surged to unprecedented heights!
The suppressive pressure, once marginally weaker than the Demon Gods', now flipped in a raging reversal.
Their combined might resisted the seven Demon Gods' fearsome Demon Might head-on, even beginning to dominate it!
"Kill——!"
Liu Li unleashed a savage bellow, charging straight at the enigmatic Second Demon God above all.
The mightiest must clash with the mightiest!
Meanwhile, Lilith and Qing Shuang each took on the Third and Fourth Demon Gods!
Long Qingyan, Vera, and Sally then met the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Demon Gods in battle.
Tushan Yueli and Fei Yue teamed up to overwhelm the Eighth Demon God!
Even with seven Demon Gods assembled...
What a Beast Master dreads least is facing superior numbers!
Particularly when every Guardian Beast bound to Gu Xing stands as an independent force of nature.
At this pivotal juncture.
On the Eighth Layer of the Demon Abyss, divine brilliance and demonic force collided in fury, the wails of shattered Laws ripping apart the timeless hush.
Liu Li shifted into her Twelve-winged Origin Angel form, her Destruction Giant Sword slicing through the devouring shadows.
She battled fiercely against the Second Demon God End, where light and void mutually erased one another.
Lilith became a crimson tempest, clinging to the Third Demon God Crystal Erosion like a festering blight.
Qing Shuang positioned herself amid a soaring veil of slaughterous intent.
Armed with sheer lethal resolve and crushing force, she slammed into the Fourth Demon God Nightmare.
Long Qingyan morphed into a massive golden serpent, wrestling the Fifth Demon God, who appeared as a rotting colossal tree.
...
All Guardian Beasts unleashed their full potential, unleashing everything against each Demon God.
Boosted by Gu Xing’s infusion of power, every Guardian Beast's capabilities had almost doubled.
This held true even for Tushan Yueli and Fei Yue, the pair least skilled in warfare.
In tandem, they managed to utterly dominate the Eighth Demon God.
The battle-oriented Guardian Beasts required no further comment.
Be it Liu Li against the supreme Second Demon God or Sally versus the Seventh...
The momentum of the fight slowly shifted to favor them over the Demon Gods!
The seven primordial Demon Gods battled with mounting dread and irritation.
Though armed with supreme Demon Might and vast depths of energy, they found themselves outmaneuvered and drained by the foes in ways beyond comprehension.
"We can’t go on like this!"
End's voice resounded through every Demon God's mind, laced with rare haste.
"If this continues, we will surely be defeated one by one!"
"Gather all your powers onto me; with absolute power, we can completely crush this human and his Guardian Beasts!"
Hearing this proposal, every Demon God experienced fierce reluctance in their Spiritual awareness.
Pooling their complete Power of Origin into End equated to handing over their very existence and destiny to him!
Within the Demon Abyss—a realm of ruthless competition and eternal betrayals across endless ages—trust amounted to the utmost folly.
Should End, after claiming the power, betray them, withhold it post-conflict, or absorb them outright, the fallout would prove catastrophic!
"End! What are you planning?!"
The Third Demon God Crystal Erosion voiced the initial doubt, "Are you trying to devour us to empower yourself?!"
The Fourth Demon God Nightmare's mind brimmed with profound unease too.
"Power consolidated in you would leave us exceedingly weak, at the mercy of others!"
The Fifth, Sixth, and remaining Demon Gods voiced firm dissent as well.
"Fools!"
End's tone sharpened abruptly, "Do you think there’s any choice left now?! Look around you!"
The Demon Gods' thoughts grew taut, their awareness sweeping the field of combat.
Every Demon God had been forced into a wretched condition.
"Continue fighting individually, and the end will be getting picked off one by one, completely obliterated, like Erosion!"
"Gathering power gives us a slim chance of survival, perhaps even a counterattack!"
"At least, with power in my hands, I can fight with full strength, push them back, or even heavily injure them!"
"When the time comes, you can retrieve your power, which is better than having your Divine Position shattered and turning into nothing now!"
End's declaration hit like an icy dagger, shattering the final shreds of optimism among the Demon Gods.
Indeed, persisting this way guaranteed downfall and extinction.
Though fusing power carried immense peril, it at least centralized strength in End's grasp—preferable to dissipating it only to be devoured or demolished piecemeal by adversaries.
The peril of annihilation surpassed doubts about allies.
"...Fine!"
The Third Demon God made the initial commitment.
A profoundly refined and shadowy Power of Origin torrent rushed toward End!
Simultaneously, its presence dimmed by over fifty percent in a flash.
"All or nothing!"
The Fourth Demon God likewise extracted a dense mass, brimming with myriad soul fragments, of inky luminescence, and hurled it at End.
"For survival!"
"Kill them!"
The remaining Demon Gods ceased their delay, clenching their wills, and stripped the core Power of Origin from their Divine Position hearts.
Six varied energies started flooding into End’s form!
