Chapter 317 The Deaths of the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God

[Agrius stood like a mountain in the void, his lava-constructed body now the site of a storm of power.]

Countless runes, imbued with the aesthetics of violence and the laws of combat, erupted from every inch of His flesh and blood, every wisp of His soul, like the corona material ejected during a supernova explosion.

These runes spun wildly around Him, flashing incessantly!

On the surface, these are rule runes, but in reality, they are the purest external manifestation of the rules of combat.

Each collision of these rule-based runes produces a deafening roar powerful enough to annihilate stars.

Each reorganization weaves a battle hymn to the very origin of the universe.

The booming sound echoed around, not merely noise, but the very rules themselves offering a tribute to the new king.

At times, it is as majestic as the resounding of billions of stars; at other times, as clear as the first primordial string piercing through the ancient void; and at still other times, as soaring as the roar of billions of indomitable warriors!

The spatial structure of the entire void vortex belt is undergoing visible distortion and folding under the influence of these supreme rules.

The battle rules shimmered across the void, and the surrounding power of these rules formed an unparalleled phenomenon, reverberating around them.

The next moment, the sounds generated by the rules began to fluctuate, becoming like the most beautiful hymns in the world, constantly praising the soon-to-be-born true god of the combat rules.

【Aglius!】

【Aglius!!】

【Aglius!!!】

The call originates from the rules themselves; it is the highest form of recognition of the fighting spirit by the very essence of the rules!

[Amidst the sweeping war songs and the call of endless rules, Agrelius, beginning from the very core of his being—his immortal spirit—is undergoing an unprecedented ultimate transformation!]

The physical body begins to transform into a divine body.

The soul, under the influence of the power of rules, transforms into a divine soul.

At the very center of His body, a divine sense of order arose spontaneously.

[When the divine body, divine soul, and divinity were born, a will originating from the level of rules resonated within Agris.]

[Rules are the true god!]

[It doesn't rely on outward appearance!]

[Not dependent on external things!]

The rules are the throne!

The omnipresent particles of the laws of battle in the void are His inexhaustible source of energy!

As long as the rules within this chaos have not collapsed, His power will never be exhausted!

His body exists within the rules!

His power is in the void!

This is completely different from the authority of the true God!

Those who ascend to godhood by conquering or merging with the core authority of a world have their power entirely dependent on the scale and stability of the authority they wield!

Their glory requires a vast divine kingdom as its foundation and the faith of billions of beings as its energy source!

[This is completely different from the true God who relies on faith and is supported by believers!]

The latter is like a rootless duckweed; where there are believers, there is God.

[When believers perish, God falls!]

[Agrius, at the moment of ascending to godhood through the rules, completely broke free from the shackles of the abyss!]

His very existence represents a part of the laws of combat!

At the same time, the great will of the abyss manifested in the deepest depths of the abyss the instant Agris became a god.

As the ruler of the Abyss Gods, one of the greatest beings in the world, the Endless Abyss, capable of contending with the Supreme Will, had already grasped the secrets of the True God of Rules the moment Agris ascended to godhood through the power of rules.

[Without relying on dimensional authority!]

[Not based on faith accumulation!]

[Directly verify the laws from the void with your own Dao!]

[Stealing the primordial power of the universe!]

This is not merely an insult to the abyssal demons who follow the path of power under His rule; it is a devastating challenge to His core mode of existence, which feeds on the consumption of world power!

This means that, theoretically, any being under His command, as long as they can find a path of void laws that aligns with their own, can bypass His system of authority and gifts, and directly become a true god of rules, unbound by Him!

The ironclad order He built in the abyss, where "authority is power, and power is slavery," is facing the crisis of collapse!

[But the protection of the supreme rules rendered the will of the abyss powerless.]

[Thus, when the wrathful will of the abyss mobilized its authority to carefully analyze Agrelius, it saw within Him a causal thread connecting the world of the Crimson Heart.]

[Aglius has an extremely secretive and profound connection with the Red Heart World, or rather, with the Red Heart Society.]

This connection transcends the so-called Lava Army.

[Or rather, in Agris's heart, the thousands of Lava Legion soldiers were not even worth a hair on the head of the Red Heart Society!]

Since Agris values ​​the Red Heart Society so much, why does he deliberately hide it?

【Answer!】

【Obviously! 】

[Having discovered this, the Abyss's great gaze descended from above, directly upon the Crimson Heart World.]

[Under the descent of the will of the abyss, I saw the Star Demon God's wisp of will, imbued with the trajectory of stars, languid yet full of calculation.]

He saw the formless and intangible spiritual will of the Heart Demon God, which seemed to be integrated into the air.

The power imprints of these two Abyss Demons were brazenly, even somewhat smugly, occupying the headquarters of the Red Heart Society. [No!]

It felt just like being in my own backyard!

【boom--! ! ! 】

All the clues suddenly connected at this moment, forming a complete logical chain!

【Star Demon God!】

[The Demon God of the Heart!]

【Aglius!】

【The Red Heart Society!】

[The Path of Betraying the Rules of the Abyss!]

[In fact, the Abyss Will has always known about these two restless individuals, the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God.]

They have been secretly pursuing a so-called rebellion against fate, but the will of the abyss doesn't care.

Even the will of the abyss was curious about the path of defiance against fate that the Star Demon God could pursue.

After all, only by experiencing the unknown can one devour the opponent and undergo a transformation.

[However, the Abyss's Will never have imagined that the path pursued by the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God would be for Agris to burn the Abyss's authority to nourish the rules!]

This is the ultimate betrayal of the authority of the Abyss!

This is a direct act of grave robbing of the very foundation of the Abyss world!

Everything seemed to connect in that instant.

When the will of the abyss begins to truly value something, the control and insight brought about by its boundless power are astonishing.

[The Will of the Abyss has witnessed the close connection between Agris and the Red Heart Society.]

[The Will of the Abyss saw the three thousand future warriors at the Red Heart Society headquarters, a future they had no future in.]

[The Will of the Abyss saw that the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God had been pursuing that so-called rebellion against fate.]

[The Will of the Abyss!]

[I witnessed the events surrounding Aglios, and it's inextricably linked to the existence of these two demon gods!]

The Star Demon God's authority over the stars originated from the abyss!

Although the Star Demon God underwent a slight change during his boundless years of research and enlightenment.

[But this is how true gods of authority are; the stronger a true god is, the greater the authority of the world from which they originate will naturally be.]

[As authority increases, the world's power in that area will naturally increase as well.]

[Now, Agris has failed the expectations of the Abyss's will, betraying it completely by choosing the path of a true god of rules!]

[Not only that, with the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God present, then what He considers the worst possible event—Aglaus—is only the beginning!]

The truly terrible and devastating blows are yet to come.

Therefore, in just a split second, the will of the abyss made its choice.

The next moment, the Abyss Decree, carrying terrifying power, instantly appeared on the Spirit Realm battlefield, suppressing the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God on the spot.

[These two top-tier demon gods, who strolled leisurely across the battlefield of the gods and even injured several spirit realm deities, were utterly powerless against the immense suppression originating from the will of the abyss.]

[In a daze, a voice of judgment descended from heaven.]

[Defy the Abyss!]

【He should be executed! 】

As this majestic voice echoed across the spirit realm, the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God, two top demon gods from the abyss, vanished without a trace before the eyes of all the gods.

【quiet!】

【silence!】

Everything around was completely silent!

At this moment, not only were the Abyss Demons filled with a sense of shared fate and in a state of utter stunned silence, but even the Hell-type True Gods and the Gods of the Spirit Realm were bewildered and at a loss due to this enormous upheaval.

[The Star Demon God who plotted against all living beings, the Heart Demon God who held the power over the mind, died just like that?]

[Did he just die like that?]

Although they were enemies, and despite the deep-seated hatred between them, seeing their equal, even a higher-level demon god, who caused them great pain and left them helpless, die silently at the hands of the will of the abyss.

[Who wouldn't be awestruck upon seeing this?]

The Hell-type True God stood rooted to the spot, pondering: if the Will of the Abyss could sever the life of a top-tier demon god with a single word, could the Will of Hell do the same?

Doesn't that mean their lives have always been in the hands of the will of hell?

[Most of the gods in the spirit realm are also true gods of authority, and as the holders of authority in the spirit realm, they were equally shocked by this scene.]

[As a great will capable of contending with the will of the abyss, could the will of the spirit realm simply annihilate them with a mere thought?]

For a moment, this vast battlefield of gods, this frenzied war of gods, fell into an unprecedented state of absolute stillness.

After all, before today's events, who could have imagined that two top-tier demon gods would fall at the same time?

Moreover, they were mercilessly annihilated by the will of the abyss!

Most importantly, this is a crucial moment in the war of the gods. How is the Abyss's behavior any different from stabbing itself three times?

However, what truly intrigued the gods was what the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God had done to cause the Abyss's will to act in this way.

As the Spirit Demon God pondered, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had just realized something.
