You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

This extreme humiliation and pain of being completely stripped of one's will and reduced to a puppet on strings caused the War Demon God to roar incessantly within his heart.

[His faint will, forcibly suppressed in the darkest corner of his divine core, now roared with endless regret.]

If only I had known this would happen!

[Back then, I should have learned from the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God, risking everything and betraying the abyss!]

Even being hunted to the ends of the earth would be better than this, where even my own self has been erased, and I've become a weapon controlled by others!

If I had known this would happen, I should have done it sooner!

[By joining the Red Heart Society, perhaps I am now also a transcendent being, or perhaps not even one who can only gain temporary power by burning everything.]

This belated realization, under the absolute control of the will of the abyss, appears so pale and laughable.

[Damn the will of the abyss!]

He knew that doing so would ignite the War Demon God's resentment, a resentment powerful enough to burn down galaxies, yet he did it anyway.

[To be on the safe side, they even went so far as to strip the other party of their control.]

[Because the will of the Abyss understands better that a top-tier demon god forced to the brink of death, if it loses control on the battlefield and retaliates, or even turns against the spirit realm, would be a devastating blow to the Abyss.]

To completely eliminate the risk of such desperate measures, the Abyss's will chose the coldest and most cruel method.

His vast and corrupt core of will brutally invaded the war demon god's battered divine essence.

As the supreme ruler of the abyss, a powerful being wielding countless powers, it would be incredibly easy for the will of the abyss to accomplish something like this.

With just a thought, everything about the War Demon God could be forcibly stripped away.

At the final moment, the will of the abyss, like a ruthless puppeteer, personally intervened, taking control of the War Demon God's body, which contained berserk battle power, and transforming it into a killing weapon extended from its own will.

The War Demon God, completely possessed by the will of the abyss, instantly locked onto an elite squad of seven true gods from the spirit realm who were carrying out a cleansing of the interface.

There was no declaration of war, not a single battle cry from the War Demon God, only an intensely chilling killing intent!

He moved!

[Speed ​​has surpassed the limitations of space!]

The colossal battle axe that once fought alongside the War God across the starry seas, but was now forcibly taken over by the will of the abyss, wielded a chaotic power capable of splitting the heavens and earth, and with a silent roar that froze the soul, it slammed down with overwhelming force.

The chains of order shattered inch by inch, like fragile glass.

[A true god from the spirit realm only had time to freeze a look of horror on his face before his divine body and divine essence exploded in the destructive trajectory of the battle axe.]

[Then came the second and third people]

[The War Demon God, controlled by the will of the abyss, pushed its fighting instincts to the extreme, but completely abandoned any skills or pride inherent in the War Demon God as an individual.]

Everything is reduced to the most primal, efficient, and purest form of destruction.

With this invincible momentum, the War Demon God rampaged across the battlefield, each swing of his axe accompanied by the fall of a true god of the spirit realm and the collapse of the divine army.

A huge gap was instantly torn open in the spirit realm's defenses over that area.

The will of the abyss is using the sword of the War Demon God to turn the tide of battle.

The familiar yet distorted aura of rage emanating from this divine body, completely twisted by the demonic energy of the abyss, instantly alerted an ancient being deep within the Star Abyss.

【Star Demon God!】

[This Star Lord, who had personally participated in the early divine war between the Abyss and the Spirit Realm and left his mark on countless battlefields, had his core will suddenly awakened from his profound understanding of the universe and stars.]

His eyes, like a swirling galaxy, suddenly opened, endless starlight swirling within them.

[He left behind extremely subtle stellar imprints in every important star system and every key battlefield He traversed, as if sowing seeds.]

These markings act like the most sophisticated cosmic dust detectors, silently recording environmental changes, energy fluctuations, and even the faintest traces of specific targets.

For the Star Demon God, setting up these marks was merely a simple task, like a traveler casually placing a pebble by the roadside. However, He understood the principle of casting a wide net to catch more fish; on the vast chessboard of the universe, the more pieces He placed early, the greater the probability of triggering a surprise at a crucial moment in the future.

Of ten thousand hidden cards, if even one is activated at the crucial moment that determines fate, it possesses immeasurable value.

Therefore, the Star Demon God never felt he had too many hidden tricks left in the universe; in fact, he always felt he hadn't left enough.

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner of the Abyss Battlefield, a star mark that had been dormant for an unknown period of time was activated by the unique aura emanating from the body of the War Demon God.

Immediately following, an alarm signal traversing the endless sea of ​​stars instantly pierced the dimensional barrier, reaching directly into the Star Demon God's ocean of will.

[The aura of the War Demon God?]

【wrong! 】

[Has He also embarked on the path of transcendence at this level of power?]

A flicker of surprise and doubt flashed through the Star Demon God's mind.

As someone who once fought alongside the God of War, He was intimately familiar with the God of War's power and characteristics.

[But the aura captured by that mark, though still violent, carried a strange and unsettling quality that made Him extremely uncomfortable.]

That feeling bore a strange resemblance to the berserk aura that Ye Lingtian occasionally revealed during his extreme killing spree, a aura teetering on the edge of losing control, yet it was even colder.

[Spontaneous combustion of everything?]

"To forcibly gain power beyond one's limits at the cost of completely destroying one's own will?"

The moment this thought arose, the answer had already appeared in the Star Demon God's mind.

It is the will of the abyss!

He was at his wit's end!

[He urgently needs a transcendent power to appear who can temporarily stabilize the collapsing battle situation, and moreover, someone who is completely under his control and will not cause any accidents.]

Clearly, the War Demon God was unfortunately chosen, becoming a hapless victim whose last bit of value was squeezed dry.

A complex and indescribable emotion surged within the Star Demon God. Now, as a true god of rules, His emotions had long since become His own.

Therefore, He will experience emotional fluctuations that align with His own views due to various different events.

[Among them is an extreme, cold-blooded, and cruel anger towards the will of the abyss, and a deep compassion for the fate of former comrades.]

[And in this, there was no sense of shared sorrow or sympathy.]

After all, the two sides are very different now.

He is no longer a god of authority, nor a demon of the abyss, but a god of rules.

[The true God of free and pure rules!]

[A free individual who can be controlled by themselves and will not be controlled by other beings!]

Most importantly, He has already embarked on the path of transcendence.

Being on the road and not being on the road are two completely different concepts.

Therefore, all He felt when fighting the demon god was helplessness.

[Especially now that the will of the abyss is in control of the Star Demon God's body, outsiders have no way to interfere.]

Even if He wanted to save them, to pass on the methods of transformation and sacrifice, He was powerless to do so!

If the God of Flames can succeed, perhaps the God of War can succeed too.

But everything will have to wait until the War Demon God can break free from the direct control of the Abyss's will! (End of Chapter)
