So I'm a sheep.

I waited and waited, but there was no response.

Okay, let's change it to a demon.

Hmm, it's grown a little bigger; now it can be called a sapling, and it's even bearing a small fruit.

Do they really only eat demons?

They're quite picky eaters, haha.

"Bring out the prisoners from the first to third levels of the dungeon and offer their blood as a sacrifice to my little darling!"

The mid-level demons imprisoned on the first to third floors are of some value, but it wouldn't hurt if they all died at once.

They were led to the small tree, and before the great demon could kill them, countless tentacles emerged from the ground and devoured them alive.

The bloody scene aroused the great demon's savagery, and what delighted him even more was—

"The fruit that grows from the sacrificial offerings seems to be larger. Go and pick it and eat it!"

The demon who was chosen this time showed no reluctance. He rushed to the sapling, picked a fruit, and stuffed it into his mouth.

How are you feeling?

"My lord, I've become stronger!"

"Give me a few more fruits, and perhaps, perhaps your lowly servant can rise to the rank of a high-ranking demon!"

...................................

Ignoring the eager servants, the great demon muttered, "Strange, they're all prey, why didn't it attack you when you got close?"

Uh

The demon servant, who had been overjoyed, instantly felt his heart sink and hurriedly ran away from the sapling.

"You don't know this guy is an 'ally,' do you?"

There was no reaction; the avatar of the Tree of Calamity, adhering to its principle of keeping a low profile, remained completely still.

"Bring out half of the prisoners from the fourth and fifth floors!"

This time, more than a dozen high-ranking demons were brought here. After waiting for a while and seeing that Xiaoshu made no move, the great demon personally slaughtered them one by one.

Sure enough, the sapling grew bigger and more than a dozen fruits grew on it!

Without letting any of the other demons pick a fruit to try, the great demon ate all the fruit himself this time.

The sweet taste filled his mouth, and the resulting increase in strength overjoyed him.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

After a moment's hesitation, the Great Demon finally brought his nemesis, whom he had defeated, from the bottom of the dungeon to this place.

With a complex expression, the great demon gave one last look at his opponent who was relentlessly cursing him, then roared and tore his body apart.

I stared intently at the branch, and soon a huge fruit appeared there.

"Hmph, ahahahahaha!"

Legion Commander, I want to become the sixth Legion Commander of Purgatory!

Book 1: Chapter 583 Jormungandr

'Finally, one of the demons has come to their senses!'

Looking at the fruit growing on the Tree of Calamity, Sasha was filled with emotion.

For so many years, so many tentacles have been thrown into the Fivefold Purgatory, and now they are finally reaping some rewards.

"Redistribute the source with the Great Demon as a basic unit."

The dense fruits on the tree were absorbed by the Tree of Calamity, and after the demonic essence was redistributed, three fist-sized fruits quickly appeared on the branches.

With a soft thud, they fell into the girl's hands.

Taking a bite, the tooth-splittingly sweet taste made Sasha's face turn slightly bitter.

Countless demonic essences were compressed into a tiny fruit, its combined power equal to that of a single great demon.

To devour, to conceive.

After eating the fruit, the Holy Angel gained 3 times more 'Great Demon Power' out of thin air.

"Not bad, not bad. Three fruits won't make a significant difference, but it will be different when you eat 30,000 or 300,000 fruits in the future."

It's only a matter of time before my power surpasses Heimra's, and I approach or even surpass Skadi.

"I hope the demon lords won't notice my plan too soon..."

Unfortunately, there's no way to influence the Five Demon Kings who are far away in Purgatory, and it's unknown whether the Mother Goddess can help.

Sasha became more and more excited as she thought about it, and she hurriedly went to the central temple.

"Great Mother Goddess!"

"No"

"..."

Uh, I haven't even gotten to the point yet.

The angel, who had stopped speaking in frustration, stood awkwardly in place. After a long pause, she bowed to the goddess and prepared to take her leave.

"Saliye"

"exist!"

"Would you like to test the difference between us?"

Eeeeeeeeeee!

Sasha was taken aback at first, but after a moment of silence, she nodded.

"Mother Goddess, please have mercy!"

"Show some mercy?"

"Seven points?" the girl asked tentatively.

"Can"

........................................

Put on the crown of thorns and take out the death knell.

Sasha faced the goddess of fate intently and said in a deep voice, "Please enlighten me, Mother Goddess!"

"kindness"

Just as the great goddess was about to get up, the girl fiercely raised the forbidden artifact and smashed it down on her forehead.

"Mother Goddess, please have mercy!!!"

He flicked his fingers.

clang---

The death knell shattered into pieces, and the holy angel coughed up blood and fell backward to the ground.

"You promised to teach me, so why did you suddenly break the rules and launch a sneak attack?"

The goddess shook her head: "That's not good. I accidentally used too much force just now."

"..."

Sasha collapsed to the ground, unable to move, her head buzzing.

How can he be so strong? That's outrageous!

I am a holy angel standing at the pinnacle of the gods, there is no way I could be defeated in one move!

Even if I devoured the essence of all the great demons in Purgatory, even if I killed the Five Demon Kings...

'Perhaps, no, I am certainly no match for the Mother Goddess.'

Sasha felt despair. If she wanted to take the blame for Coco, she had to get past the goddess.

Not to mention defeating the goddess, one must at least reach a level where one is not easily suppressed by her.

I thought I was quite close to that level.

Perhaps reaching Skadi's level of physical power, combined with the Black Thorn Crown and the Death Knell, would suffice...

That was what the girl originally thought, but after trying it today, she realized she was terribly wrong!

"It's good that you can make good use of that tree, but it's impossible to rely on it to accumulate the strength to fight against fate."

The goddess slowly said, "Sasha, how do you understand 'those who are close to gods'?"

"cough cough"

Coughing up the blood that was blocking her throat, the girl said in a hoarse voice, "A realm that surpasses the main god, yet is still one step away from the supreme god?"

......................................

"Not bad, but by the way, well, you named it the Tree of Calamity, right?"

"Through the Tree of Calamity, your power will one day surpass Skadi, surpass Murphy."

"But does that mean you've broken through to the realm of a main god?"

Seeing Sasha's confused expression, the goddess smiled and said, "At that time, you will only be a holy angel whose power surpasses that of all the main gods. Will your realm change in the slightest?"

"..."

"Then what should I do?"

"To fundamentally elevate your 'light'."

"To be specific, it means to integrate that glorious light of destiny into it."

A beacon of destiny?!

Sasha was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

After a long, long time, the girl asked in a trembling voice, "Mother Goddess, can you help me?"
