Chapter 278 He died

The enormous portal of holy light, which tore through the spirit realm's heavens and descended with blinding radiance, roared open.

As the procession of one hundred and twenty ascended angels, each with magnificent wings and wielding a spear of judgment, surrounded the figure seated upon a pure white throne, they slowly appeared in the sky above the spirit realm.

[Aglaus's soul, nearly worn down by the relentless battles and his own injuries, instantly turned bloodshot upon seeing who it was.]

The weary divine body and soul, stimulated by this immense power of hatred, became excited.

The one who arrived was none other than the Radiant Lord, one of the rulers of Heaven.

This Heavenly Lord, who travels through the realms in the name of judgment and redemption, bringing holy hope to all beings in the mythological system of the spirit world, has now descended upon this divine war in the spirit world.

Normally, unless there's a conflict of interest, Heaven rarely intervenes in the struggles between the gods of the spirit world.

But now, the Lord of Glory has actually stepped into this battlefield of gods!

The arrival of this opponent signifies that Heaven has been closely monitoring the battle between Agris and the Cloud Beast God.

[But the moment Agrus saw the Lord of Heaven descend, he abandoned his plan to leave.]

At this moment, He no longer cared about the thoughts of the gods in the spirit world.

[This is the root cause of the tragedy that led to the destruction of the Red Heart Society!]

Behind that seemingly holy light, Agrelius saw the despairing shadow of tens of millions of Redhearts who had perished in a massive attack by the angelic legion, a so-called trial of demons.

[It is the steel cradle starport, the mournful cry scattered as it turned into the embers of the battlefield!]

[It was Deng Qi's last glance before he silently vanished at the strategic command post, during the Angel Legion's decapitation operation!]

[It was the unspeakable, immense pain of sacrifice hidden beneath the cold, commanding flow when Lin Xue issued the order to transfer the spark at the Red Heart Society headquarters!]

[It was also his own faith; the poignant tragedy of you, the founder of the Red Heart Society, leaving behind your physical body in the crucible of faith to protect the Red Heart Society!]

It can be said that all the tragedies, injustices, and forced suspensions of the ideals that the Red Heart Society has encountered are related to Heaven!

[If none of these things had happened, I should have calmly and methodically grasped the rules of combat. Why would I have resorted to such a shortcut?]

If I hadn't taken shortcuts, would I have endured such horrific torment during my ascension to the True God of Rules?

The root cause of everything!

This is paradise!

【Now! 】

Heaven is right before your eyes!

[The enemy is right in front of us!]

What could be more important than avenging the Red Heart Society?

All retreats, healing, and plans for the future—all considerations—vanished into laughable dust before the face of the Lord of Light, bathed in holy light and seemingly filled with compassion for all beings.

His arrival left Agris with only the wrath of the heavens!

【perish together!】

Even if it means burning away the last embers of this true god of rules, we will drag him down from his pedestal!

The fall and death of an ordinary angel, or even an entire corps of holy angels, would likely not cause Heaven any heartache, much less cripple it.

But what if a true god were to fall?

[Boom!]

[Without any warning, and even beyond the expectations of other gods, without any communication or telepathy, Agrelius directly attacked the Lord of Radiance.]

Under Agrelius's devastating onslaught, the newly arrived Heavenly Lord was instantly blasted away.

At the moment of impact, the extremely stable space of the spirit realm itself emitted a shattering sound as it could no longer bear the weight.

The divine procession of one hundred and twenty holy angels was swallowed up by the energy tsunami triggered by the collision between the gods before it could even react.

Their wings of holy light melted away like snowflakes in the sunlight before this pure and despairing storm of destruction!

[Even their soul imprints, bearing the blessings of infinite resurrection, shattered inch by inch under the battle rules permeating Agrelius.]

Angels are not afraid of death because even if they die in battle, their souls can return and be resurrected in Heaven.

Even vast worlds like the Abyss and Hell cannot capture their souls.

[In battles between gods, the leakage of divine power can be instantly obliterated by using a clone as an intermediary, even if the clone is located in another world.]

[Divine power is acceptable, and naturally, so too is the supreme power of rules.]

Thus, from the moment Agrippa saw the holy angels who descended upon the spirit world, they were destined to be destroyed.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After regaining his composure, the Heavenly Lord quickly expressed his goodwill to Agrelius.

The complete annihilation of the holy angels' procession did not stir even the slightest emotion in this glorious lord.

Beneath the divine, all are but ants!

If He can achieve His purpose through this journey, what does it matter if 120 or even 1,200 holy angels die?

[Angels are just that—angels. They can be created with a flick of the wrist!]

[What could possibly compare to Agrelius, born a demon, yet freed from the shackles of the abyss's will after becoming a god?]

So He used His divine magic to fend off Agrippa's violent attacks, while explaining the concept of Heaven to him.

He stated that Heaven is not inflexible; even when facing demons and devils, as long as they possess a heart inclined towards good, Heaven will guide and protect them.

Anyone who joins Heaven will enjoy everything Heaven has to offer.

And the sharp knife of heaven will never be used against one's own people!

The Heavenly Monarch possesses immense divine power. If this brainwashing logic were used to explain it to ordinary people or even extraordinary individuals, there's a 99% chance they would immediately bow down and submit.

Was it because you were persuaded?

【Do not! 】

[It's because the other party possesses the power to destroy me. If they were truly deceiving me, there would be no need for such trouble.]

[But any expert with a modicum of knowledge and strength who has witnessed this kind of tactic wouldn't believe such nonsense!]

[Especially when the target is a deity, this brainwashing logic is utter nonsense.] [Not targeting demons and devils?]

[Can one enjoy asylum simply by repenting and reforming?]

[Are you kidding me? 】

Even in a mortal world without magic, committing a crime will be recorded in one's file, leading to discrimination and oppression from society.

These are people from the same clan and lineage!

In the extraordinary world, how could one possibly possess such a broad mind when facing different races, different ethnic groups, different worlds, and even beings that are not even a single living being?

Isn't this pure nonsense?

Most importantly, Agris is now a true god of rules; does he still need the protection of Heaven?

As for the covetousness of the gods in the spirit world?

Anyway, He didn't want to live!

Since our enemy has arrived, let's die together!

The Second War of the Gods has broken out once again.

This time, however, the Lord of Light is not alone and without support.

[When the other rulers of Heaven were about to descend, intending to cooperate with the Lord of Light to directly defeat Agrelius, the gods of the Spirit Realm unexpectedly took action.]

[After all, the Heavenly Pantheon's act of directly reaping the benefits is utterly shameless!]

[This kind of behavior—coming here without warning—is practically treating the spirit world like their own home!]

[Joining forces alongside the gods of the spirit realm was a group of abyssal demon gods, led by the Star Demon God.]

They have been watching over Agrippa ever since he became a god.

Having experienced so many years of divine wars, they were almost certain that Agrelius was not influenced by divine will and could do whatever he pleased, entirely according to his own will.

Therefore, they could not let Aglios die!

[At least let them study for a while, figure out the structure of the true god of Agris's rules, and pave the way for their future before they die.]

However, the sudden intervention of the Heavenly Pantheon disrupted the plans of the Abyss Demon God.

Therefore, even if they intervened in the war between the gods in the spirit world, risking war themselves, they would still protect Agris from the monarchs who originated from Heaven.

Although the gods of the spirit realm detected the aura of the Abyss Demon God, they did not take immediate action this time.

[After all, the opponent is a pantheon of gods, and they understand the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.]

Thus, in the spirit world, the stronghold of order, something unprecedented and rare occurred.

The abyssal demons, representing chaos, have surprisingly joined forces with the spirit gods, representing order, to besiege the heavenly pantheon, representing holiness.

This is so absurd it's even more unbelievable than someone getting mushroom poisoning and seeing their pet get up and go into the kitchen to cook.

Although it seemed strange, cooperation between the Abyss and the Spirit Realm was quite normal given their aligned strategic goals.

This time, however, the authority of the Abyss's will did not extend.

Even the will of the abyss stood at the rear, silently marking all the abyssal demons that went into battle.

The fact that He repeatedly failed to target Aglios is most likely due to the intervention of these abyssal demons.

Once this matter is resolved, the will of the abyss will have a proper discussion with these demons.

The battle of the gods has begun!

[Amidst the frenzied battle of the gods, Agrelius once again comprehended an extended power of the rules of combat.]

That is to manipulate the power of the battle rules and transform them into any kind of energy fluctuation that one understands sufficiently.

In the year 555 of the Extraordinary Era, Aglios's injuries worsened, and his unparalleled combat power, after reaching a certain peak, began to slowly decline.

[And the radiant Lord who stands before Him is renowned for his defense and protection!]

This made Him realize that He probably couldn't take the Lord of Radiance with Him through normal combat methods.

Even if he were to self-destruct, he could probably only severely injure the Lord of Radiance, but wouldn't be able to take him down with him.

The pantheon of gods is here, and the celestial monarchs are nearby.

Therefore, even if the Lord of Radiance is severely injured, the Heavenly Pantheon can safely remove him.

[Therefore, He began to actively receive the Holy Light strikes from the Lord of Radiance, sensing the Lord of Radiance's divine power attributes from the inside out.]

[Perhaps this decision is somewhat unfair to the Titans, but our goal of seeking revenge for the Redhearts will never waver!]

[And the Titans' vengeful nature was something He felt He needed to make good use of.]

In the year 562 of the Extraordinary Era, thanks to Agrelius's precise control of the battle, the Lord of Radiance successfully drove it into the territory of the Titan pantheon.

Agrelius clutched his chest, staring at the Lord of Light in utter disbelief.

The next moment, the fluctuations of battle rules within His body vanished completely, replaced by a surge of divine power unique to the Lord of Radiance.

【Boom! 】

[As the pure holy light erupted from within Agris, all of Agris's powerful divine strength, soul, and divine essence, along with everything else, transformed into pure energy and surged outwards in the instant the Lord of Radiance's energy surged.]

Wherever it passed, the surrounding Titans suffered damage to their bodies and their souls were thrown into turmoil.

This enraged the Titan gods who were watching from the sidelines. The Lord of Light was committing murder!

[By attacking Agris, and then triggering Agris's self-destruction, isn't this just affecting them?]

【very good! 】

Since the Heavenly Pantheon wants to fight, then let them fight!

The Titan pantheon is never afraid of battle!

[And Agris, the vengeful warrior left behind by the Red Heart Society, was the first to ascend to godhood through the rules, giving hope to all the demon gods.]

He is dead.
