The Lord of Earthquakes experiences the lethal wrath of Levi after devastating numerous worlds and consuming billions of lives. With his retreat blocked and his pride shattered, the colossal monster is eventually sealed away within the White Emperor Palace. As the tides of war turn and Nightmare Monarchs begin to fall, Levi organizes his growing Shadow Army to systematically purge the remaining forces across Nora. However, the conflict remains far from over as a new distress signal reveals a brutal assault by a Nightmare Monarch on a defenseless New World.

Even with Nora transformed into a Quasi-Giant, the speed at which information travels across her territory far outpaces the current messaging methods utilized by the Wizard Council.

With the implementation of the Heavenly Net, Herman is capable of tracking every maneuver the enemy makes.

It did not take Levi long to reach the location.

The terrain stretching out before him was blanketed in wreckage; an uncountable sum of mortals, wizards, and alien species had met a brutal end.

Levi tapped into his Nightmare Emperor Dragon Power to locate the Dreamscape of a primordial soul wizard who remained clinging to life, using this connection as a gateway into a world of dreams saturated in shades of black and red.

The golden gyroscope spun with violent intensity, its surface riddled with fractures.

Having consumed a vast quantity of Nightmare Creatures, the Dreams of Revolving had evolved into a supreme-tier treasure, bordering on peak-level efficacy, making the eradication of standard Nightmare Monarchs a relatively manageable task.

However, within the confines of this specific dream, only its replication ability was active.

This caused its overall effectiveness to wane.

Furthermore, Levi realized that he was facing a formidable adversary.

It was the Sorrowful Death Monarch, serving under the Archdevil of Hell.

While the Archdevil of Hell ranks among the Nightmare Four Emperors, its existence is inherently tied to the profound Power of Death, as it draws its essence from the primal human fear of mortality.

For this reason, the Archdevil of Hell is widely regarded as the most potent of the Nightmare Four Emperors.

Its underlings were undoubtedly just as dangerous.

The Sorrowful Death Monarch quickly sensed that an intruder had breached its constructed Dreamscape.

"Is that you?"

Its form shimmered like a mirage, attempting to retreat.

"Escape is impossible!"

To anyone else, this predicament would appear entirely insurmountable.

Yet, because Levi wields the Supreme Level of Nightmare Emperor Dragon Power, he surged toward the retreating Sorrowful Death Monarch and delivered a crushing palm strike before it could vanish.

Boom!

The force of the blow shattered the woven Dreamscape entirely.

The true physical form of the Sorrowful Death Monarch was thrust into the material world.

It was met by a magnificent Crystal Palace, inside which Levi locked the Sorrowful Death Monarch before ascending to higher planes.

Levi unleashed a barrage of punches that pulverized its protective shell, while torrents of crimson flames erupted from his palms.

The Crimson Emperor Dragon Flames, stoked by the intensity of Blazing Fire, forced the Nightmare Monarch—who had led so many to a sorrowful end—to endure an agonizingly tragic demise until only a final flicker of life remained.

"Securing the Death Artifact is an unexpected bounty; the rewards of this engagement have surpassed my initial estimates."

After sealing the target, Levi turned his attention to Herman.

"What is the current situation?"

Herman provided his report:

"The level 9 and level 10 threats within the borders of Nora have been fully neutralized."

After a brief moment of reflection, Levi set his course toward the Land of Darkness.

...

In the depths of the void.

The Lost Monarch fought with the desperation of an cornered beast, his expression deeply grim.

Scanning the surrounding area, he saw that the Nightmare Monarchs trapped in the crossfire were three-quarters incapacitated or dead, leaving a meager dozen warriors gasping for air on the brink of total collapse.

Of the Six Great Demon Lords, only two managed to slip away.

These were the Black Heart Demon Lord, known for his devious schemes, and the Sloth Demon Lord, who had been actively shirking his duties at the periphery and retreated as soon as the tide turned.

The remaining four diligent Demon Lords were trapped with no way out.

Devouring Sky, Void, Arrogance, and Fury were hemmed in by titans like the Mountain Giant King, the Frost Witch, the Spiritual Venerable, the Nine Death Swordman, and the Star Sky Sword Saint, backed by twenty level 10 warriors; without unity among the Seven Demon Lords, holding the line was impossible.

The most desperate situation, of course, belonged to the Lost Monarch. As one of the Four Emperors, Nora had naturally launched an unrelenting, saturated assault to ensure he could find no gap to flee.

With individuals of the caliber of Edmund, Hera, Charactus, Heavenly Will, and the Void Nether Emperor—all peak level 10, Quasi-Supreme combatants—plus an additional twenty specialists in control and dream manipulation, he was thoroughly hemmed in. I suspect even a Supreme would hesitate to face such odds.

A ten-thousand-mile radius of the battlefield had been completely locked down by this gathering of heaven-defying experts.

Despite the Lost Monarch exhausting every resource at his disposal, nothing yielded results.

Supreme Level clashes typically occur within shifted dimensions. The Master of Horror made numerous attempts to intervene in sub-Supreme encounters, only to be constantly blocked by the Netherworld Ancestor.

She offered a mocking sneer:

"Using your power to bully the weak is pathetic."

The Master of Horror responded with chilling detachment:

"Nightmare will not concede so cheaply. Release the Lost Monarch, and Nightmare will refrain from invading the Underworld for this epoch; otherwise..."

The Netherworld Ancestor burst into laughter:

"Do you genuinely believe your threats hold any weight against me?"

The Master of Horror exhaled a cold, sharp breath.

"Very well, then let war be the answer. We shall fight until the bitter end!"

The Netherworld Ancestor looked on with calm, unbothered eyes.

"As you wish."

Her sole duty was to occupy the Master of Horror.

It was fortunate that the Chaotic Servant had not appeared in this conflict.

Without that complication, Nora’s victory proceeded smoothly.

Upon reaching the Dark Battlefield, Levi opted not to join the cluster of attackers surrounding the Lost Monarch. Eradicating one of the Four Emperors was a time-consuming chore; he had better uses for his strength, such as claiming more kills.

This would ensure he had enough resources to nurture more level-10 Demon Emperors down the line.

With a flicker, he arrived at the skirmish involving the Four Great Demon Lords.

The Void Demon Lord was characteristically taunting the Frost Witch with vile insults even in his final moments, while the witch, face frozen in a mask of apathy, delivered lethal strikes with surgical precision.

Levi raised his trident and unleashed a horizontal slash directly at the Void Demon Lord.

Already exhausted, the Demon Lord was quickly torn apart by the torrent of Sword Qi.

The creature's true soul had barely emerged before being snatched away by the Nine Death Swordsman. The true soul of such a legendary fighter was too complex for a novice like Leon to secure.

"What an exquisite blade!"

The Frost Witch couldn’t stop herself from praising the strike.

The Star Sky Sword Saint watched with open envy, thinking to himself:

"When will I finally achieve level 10 in the Sword Dao?"

Void Demon Lord! Terminated!

Levi did not scavenge the spoils; since everyone had provided so many opportunities for him to feast, he could not deny them their share.

In a split second, he appeared before the Devouring Sky Demon Lord.

His trident hammered against the Demon Lord’s Fire Overture curved blade, throwing showers of sparks everywhere.

"I hate this! I hate that I didn’t annihilate you earlier!"

The Devouring Sky Demon Lord’s countenance was twisted with visceral, towering resentment.

"As if you ever held that power,"

Levi swung again, cleaving the creature in two.

Boom!

Simultaneously, the trident in his hand shattered.

It was merely a standard supreme treasure, and after Levi’s exhaustive combat style and heavy power infusion, its structural integrity reached its limit. He quickly summoned the Seven Treasures.

"These are for you."

"Understood."

The Seven Treasures seized the remnants, joyfully consuming them.

Levi then shifted into his Crimson Emperor Dragon form, using his indestructible dragon claws to strike the Devouring Sky Demon Lord repeatedly; after barely a dozen blows, the light faded from its eyes.

Devouring Sky Demon Lord, terminated!

It was not that Levi’s raw strength could instantly delete such Demon Lords, but rather that he capitalized on their already grievous injuries, using his most devastating techniques to finish them off while they were spent.

Once the Devouring Sky Demon Lord fell, the remaining two Demon Lords were quickly swarmed by the others and beaten to death before Levi could even reach them.

Thus, excluding the two who fled back to Nightmare,

all five of the remaining sins have been struck down!

The Seven Sins were once considered invincible beneath the rank of Supreme,

but now, their power poses no further threat to the stability of Nora.

Historically, a top-tier Nightmare Monarch might survive for an entire epoch without falling; yet today, on the Nora battlefield, four were wiped out in a single stroke!

The age of the Nightmare has passed!

A few surviving Nightmare Monarchs, realizing their path was blocked, began to signal their desire to surrender. Edmund disseminated a message to Nora’s defenders: "If they are not native Monarchs of Nightmare, spare them; if they are true natives, kill them to the last to prevent any future catastrophe!"

Time marched on.

The following morning.

Nora’s sun ascended, gilding the land in a layer of golden brilliance.

Across the battlefield, every single Nightmare Monarch was either dead or in chains, save for the Lost Monarch. After the relentless, high-intensity hunting conducted by nearly twenty level-10 powerhouses, Dragon King Li perched on his golden throne to recover his strength, choosing to refrain from further combat.

"Edmund, you are not the one who will kill me!"

After enduring a full day of encirclement, the exhausted Lost Monarch suddenly spoke.

It intended to end its own existence, choosing suicide as its final act of defiance.

Suddenly, a massive Red Giant Dragon crashed down with a thundering roar, pinning his head into the earth.

"I will be the one to finish you!"

Revitalized, Levi arrived once more to secure the final blow.

The dragon claws pinned the helpless Lost Monarch against reality itself, and the baptism by dragon breath commenced!

The inferno of breath persisted for a full quarter-hour before dissipating.

The true soul of the Lost Monarch attempted one final escape into the void, only to be plucked out of the air by the Void Nether Emperor.

The Nether Emperor spoke with quiet finality:

"From this moment forth, Nightmare shall consist of only the Three Emperors."

Boom! An overwhelming surge of the Nether River crashed down, purifying and erasing every vestige of this member of the Four Emperors!

Lost Monarch! Terminated!

The Seven Sins are no more, the Four Emperors have been eradicated!

The defense of Nora is a total and historic triumph!
