They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 306 The Underworld: "It seems I'm one skill point short."

Alfredo was provoked into a rage by Dan Lei, but it was ultimately useless.

His anger was clearly not enough to unleash his full potential and increase his strength to the point where he could rival Dan Lei.

Dan Lei calmly released two faceless, adult male-sized celestial boat puppets, followed by Draig, Albion, and Skarakabaz.

Draig and Albion directly possessed the two celestial ship puppets, and then the armor of the Crimson Dragon Emperor/White Dragon Emperor appeared.

Now, Danlei no longer feels any pressure releasing all the spirits at the same time.

However, the two dragons lacked the power of a Commander, and in battles involving Commanders, their strength was already somewhat insufficient to keep up with the team.

Therefore, Danlei no longer lets them possess him, but uses them as guards as needed.

Dan Lei really bullied the kids in this battle with the Eternal Fire Mansion, so we're going to give them a break.

After releasing all the souls, Dan Lei spoke to Grand Duke Netherfire.
"I really wanted to suggest a fair five-on-five match, but that would be too unfair to you guys."

Here's the deal: all five of you need to do is defeat Little Illusion, Draig, and Albion, and I'll spare your lives.

Otherwise, just die.

After saying that, Danlei turned to the live stream and said...
"The upcoming battles involve murder and arson, so I won't be broadcasting them live."

However, I will try my best to keep the crown of the Grand Duke of the Underworld as a gift for the Pinocchio family.

After all, the Pinocchio Daydream Hotel told me they were fully booked, and these five guys would have exactly five rooms available.

Dan Lei said this before turning off the live stream, purely to put pressure on Pinocchio.

Dan Lei made it clear that he wanted all five room slots, and he even snatched them from the infamous Minmie gang.

Unless Pinocchio explicitly states that the Eternal Flame Mansion of the Extinction Gang are his guests, Dan Lei's trip is unethical, a move that harms the enemy by a hundred while damaging himself by ten thousand.

Otherwise, I certainly couldn't use the excuse of the hotel being fully booked to refuse Danlei again.

You ask why this is a case of hurting the enemy by a hundred while injuring yourself by ten thousand?
Pinocchio could not possibly admit to having any connection with the Annihilation Gang, which would give Interstellar Peace Corporation a perfect reason to intervene.

Amidst a barrage of comments saying "Don't turn off the live stream! I'm an adult now!", Danlei still ended the live stream.

Afterwards, seeing that the five members of the Underworld Fire Grand Duke's party had not yet made a move, he took the initiative to ask...

"Alright, the live stream is over. Wheels or a brawl, the choice is yours."

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Katrina, whose hands were bound with chains and a meteor hammer, and whose legs were mechanical, could no longer bear it. She swung her meteor hammer, now completely engulfed in destructive flames, and smashed it towards Dan Lei while shouting to the others.

"Take the old man and get out of here first!!"

However, halfway through the flight of the destructive meteor hammer, with a shout of "Boost!", Draig, also shrouded in destructive flames, caught the meteor hammer with one hand.

With a quick pull and a flick of his wrist, Dreigchi sent Katrina flying, like a frail child tug-of-war against a strong adult, slamming her against the wall in an instant.

At the same time, Draig swung his flail back at Katrina.

Fortunately, the clerk Dubra controlled the small puppet in his hand to take the blow from the meteor hammer, thus preventing Katrina from suffering secondary damage.

However, this attack also smashed half of Dubra's doll's body.

Fortunately, Dubra's doll is just a prop and doesn't affect her fighting ability.

However, since Draig had made his move, Albion, his old rival, was naturally not to be outdone and immediately roared in anger.

"Dreig! You ran away again!"

After saying that, he flashed his White Dragon Emperor Wings and instantly rushed to Akash, the [Tuner], who was preparing to play the cello to give Dan Lei and the others a debuff.

Compared to Draig, who likes to be straightforward and show off his muscles, Albion is obviously more intelligent in combat, knowing that he should target the support first when fighting.

Akash is clearly the kind of guy who uses sonic attacks to drive his enemies into a frenzy, causing them to self-destruct.

Therefore, he is relatively unskilled in direct combat.

Faced with Albion's fist filled with the power of nothingness, Akash could only interrupt his own abilities and wield his harp bow and sword to fight back.

However, with a shout of "Divide," Akash's harp bow and sword, which was originally meant to block Albion's fist, suddenly slowed down and was slapped in the face, along with the cello that was still holding on tightly, and was sent flying.

After Albion finished his attack, he did not pursue the enemy.

The punch he had just thrown at Akash's face struck a suddenly appearing ball of blue flame at the last moment, greatly cushioning the impact on Akash.

Therefore, Albion turned his attention to [Dahlia] Constantine, because he sensed that she was the strongest of the four offspring of the Grand Duke of the Underworld.

Therefore, Albion did not hesitate to turn his attention to Constance.

For Albion, it's not fun to bully the weak; it's more interesting to take down the strongest of the four and then taunt Draeg.

However, Albion's attack on Constance did not go smoothly. With one punch, she turned into bubble-like flames and disappeared on the spot.

Then, Constans appeared beside Akash, helped him up, and at the same time, a blue wall of fire rose between Albion and herself.

By the time Albion broke through the wall of fire, Constance had already moved with Akash to another location.

Akash placed his bow and sword on the cello strings, his eyes blazing with blue flames reminiscent of a demon hunter from Warcraft, and began to pull the strings, using sound waves to launch an indiscriminate area-of-effect attack on Danlei's side.

However, before he could even play a few notes on the Akash string and before the melody could even form, two figures crashed down on him.

Katrina and Dubra were thrown over.

While Albion was fighting Constans and Akash, Draig wasn't idle either.

Katrina was hit hard by Draig when she came up, but she was the strongest of the four siblings. She spat out a breath of "fire", activated the thrusters under her feet, and charged at Draig again with her meteor hammer.

At the same time, Dubra also swung his scythe and slashed at Drag from another direction.

Seeing that his opponent was prepared to go head-to-head with him, Drag said that he would not compete in strength that was beyond his level, and that he had never lost before.

Two "Boost" sounds rang out as he punched Dubra's scythe and kicked Katrina's flail at the same time.

Moreover, this time Draig imbued his attack with the flames of his Destructive Fate.

Draig's Blazing Flame is said to be able to burn everything, and its power is even greater when combined with Destruction of Fate.

Katrina and Dubra are considered strong among the Fate Walkers, but they are meaningless in front of Draig.

Having spent so long in the Star Iron Universe, even in his spirit form, with the blessing of the power of destiny, Draig has surpassed his original self, reaching a level capable of destroying a star with a single blow, rather than just "destroying the world" by destroying the surface of a planet.

Therefore, Katrina and Dubra's weapons were completely powerless against Draig's Blazing Flames. The Destructive Fate Power covering them was instantly broken through by Draig's even stronger Destructive Fate Power, and their weapons were subsequently melted by the Blazing Flames.

However, Katrina and Dubra knew this was a time to risk their lives, even though their flail and scythe blade had been melted by the flames.

They continued to attack Draig with chains and scythe handles. Draig was deeply "moved" by this, grabbed Katrina's chains, pulled her in front of him, and then turned around and pressed her into Dubra's huge cloak of energy.

Then, he used Katrina's chains to bind the two together and weld them shut, followed by a Flaming Kick at Akash, who was attacking him with sonic waves.

When Akash saw Katrina and Dubra hurtling towards him with flames that didn't belong to them, he didn't dodge as if it were a matter of "better to die than see my friend die." Instead, he and Constance released blue flames to catch them.

However, at this point, Dubra had been burned to the point of barely clinging to life by the flames.

Draig's Blazing Flame Kick—the most cautious of the four heirs of the Darkfire Grand Duke chose to shield Katrina from all its power.

The flames burned through her energy body and origin. She left behind only the words "Run!" before completely returning to the origin of the Fire Demon Clan, dissipating into a pool of flames and vanishing.

However, just as they never left any survivors when they destroyed other planets and civilizations, their adversaries did the same this time.

After taking the lead, Draig decisively mocked Albion.
"Albion, you're no good."

I've already taken one down, and you don't even have a single one seriously injured.

"Want me to give you some energy to boost your power?"

Albion did not refute Draeg's taunts. Instead, he directly enveloped Constans and the other two with the slowing field amplified by the Void Fate, gathered white poisonous flames in his hands, and sprayed them at them with all his might, trying to kill them all instantly.

Enveloped by Albion's slowing field, even Constance felt her ability to activate itself slow to a crawl, making it impossible for her to dodge the terrifying, ethereal white flames.

So Katrina steeled herself and said again.
"Constance, take the old man away!!"

After saying that, she detonated all the power of her heart core, charged forward, and self-destructed on the spot.

Katrina's self-destruction occurred directly in front of Constance and Akash, and the two of them took the brunt of the attack.

However, facing Katrina's self-destruction is better than facing Albion's white flames.

The explosion and flames caused by his life temporarily shattered Albion's slowing zone and blasted Constans and Akash out of its range.

The flames and impacts also neutralized some of Albion's infinitely reduced poisonous flames, preventing them from reaching Constans and Akash.

However, after only a few rounds, two of the four offspring of the Lord of the Underworld had died, and Constans and Akash realized that today's battle was simply unwinnable.

Dan Lei, who could stand against the Star God, hadn't even made a move yet when the Envoy-level Insect King released two armored suits, and he was already outmatched.

As for his father, Grand Duke Afrit of the Underworld was being unilaterally toyed with by Little Illusion.

While Draig and Albion were displaying their dragon might, Little Phantom was naturally not idle.

Seeing that Afrit's four offspring were all taken by the two dragons, she naturally set her sights on the delicious candy that was Grand Duke of the Underworld.

Afrit had actually intended to support Katrina with fire when she made her move.

However, his flames were absorbed by Xiao Huanlong as soon as they were released.

Sensing the power of the Destruction Commander within Xiao Huanlong, Afrit was genuinely envious, and so he spoke up.
“Little fellow, you were given the gift of the Lord of Destruction, why have you become an immortal lackey?”

To this question, Xiao Huanlong answered directly.

"I am a new life that my master tore off from the body of the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong."

My life was given to me by my master, so naturally I am at his service.

As for the so-called Destroyer Monarch you mentioned, heaven knows why he gave me power.

Maybe they think I'm cute?
After all, nobody wants to look twice at your ugly sheep's head.

Xiao Huanlong's words pierced Afrit's heart once more, causing him to unleash his destructive power and raging flames once more, roaring as he gripped his cane.
"You are not worthy of the power of the Destroyer Monarch. I will show you what true destruction is!!"

Then he rushed up and swung his staff at Xiao Huanlong.

However, Xiao Huanlong unceremoniously gathered the power of a Destroyer-level Destruction Path and blocked Afrit's attack with a simple gesture.

The difference in the quality of the destructive power between the two sides was too great; even with all his might, Afrit could not advance another step.

Meanwhile, the flames on his body were being continuously absorbed by Xiao Huanlong.

Both the Fire Demon and the Sun God belong to the category of energy life forms.

The yang and sui can devour and merge with each other. Although the fire demon's body is more solid and has a physical form similar to flesh, the result remains the same.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

When the two meet, the weak become the strong's prey.

In terms of total energy, Afrit is actually stronger than Xiao Huanlong. By using quantity to offset the difference in quality, he is not unable to fight Xiao Huanlong.

But he insisted on using all his strength to fight.

The difference in their destinies was too great. Afrit had not grasped the true meaning of the power of destruction, and was completely incomparable to the destructive power of the Commander-level.

Therefore, the longer the struggle continues, the more Affleck loses.

Because Xiao Huanlong was enjoying absorbing his flames during this time.

With the tide turning against each other, Affleck became increasingly powerless to fight, and he was unable to provide any support even after Dubra and Katrina died.

At this moment, seeing that Drag and Albion had already made some progress, Xiao Huanlong's manipulative and wicked sense of humor, inherited from Huanlong, suddenly surfaced.

So, taking advantage of her superior strength, she circled around Alfred once, then laughed.
"Your name is Affleck, right?"

Since your children are willing to die to create an escape opportunity, I can put in a word with your master on your behalf.

Your crown's owner has already promised to go out, so you're doomed.

But there should still be room for discussion regarding your remaining two children.

Choose one. My master loves me the most; if I plead, he should be able to let one go.

Xiao Huanlong is clearly trying to sow discord here; whatever choice Afrit makes will hurt the other child's feelings.

However, Affleck was not fooled at all and gritted his teeth as he replied...
"Stop insulting destruction! My children know that for a desperado who walks the path of destruction, death is also a form of destruction!"

As Afflit spoke, Constance and Akash, who had been blown away, returned to his back. Although they were all covered in dust and dirt, none of them had any intention of surrendering.

However, at this moment, Dan Lei suddenly felt a familiar power, accompanied by a chilling sense of crisis.

So without saying a word, they forcibly took back Xiao Huanlong, Dreig, and Albion.

Then, a black mass that devoured everything burst through the wall behind Afrites and crashed into Akash.
