Chapter 369: Great Harvest and Leaving the Dark World
Diablo shook his body. His huge dragon-like body looked extremely impactful, with insect-like lower body beside him. His body was covered with terrifying tentacles, and Baal's blood-red demon eyes were staring at everyone.
Around them and on the hillside, there was an army of demons gathered all over the mountain. It could be said that more than 90% of the demons in the world of Sanctuary gathered here.
Seeing so many demons gathered here, Richard smiled slightly. It seemed that they could be solved all at once this time.
"Diabolo, Baal, you really are hardworking models! You have hit all the demons right here!" Richard said with a smile.
Diablo and Bal were slightly stunned when they heard Richard's words, and had a bad feeling in their hearts.
"Since they are all gathered here, let's solve them all at once!"
"Mortal, you have been surrounded by us, and you are still talking nonsense here. Today is the day you die! I will seal your soul into this World Stone and play with it slowly!" Baal's voice resounded throughout the valley, and the surrounding demons roared excitedly.
"Surrounded? Well, I declare that you have been surrounded by me. If you surrender now, I can give you the right to choose how to die." Richard stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist. A golden light flashed, and a golden scepter appeared in his hand.
"Hahahaha!" Baal and Diablo laughed when they heard this.
"Arrogant human, I shouldn't have wasted my time talking to you! Everything should be over, welcome your doomsday!" Then he ordered the demon army to attack.
——【Space confinement! 】
——【Glorious aura! 】
——【Sunshine! 】
——【Death Field! 】
In an instant, Richard sealed off the entire space of the Arreat Mountains. Except for him, all space teleportation spells were ineffective. Then, the power of the three domains was instantly activated, covering the entire valley.
When Diablo and Baal, who had just felt the space blockade, saw this situation, their faces changed slightly, and they opened their respective domains, trying to use the power of their domains to block the power of Richard's domain.
However, after fighting against Richard's domain power, they found that their domain power was no match for Richard's domain. Even if the two of them joined forces, they were still defeated by Richard's domain.
Seeing this, Diablo and Baal's faces changed. They realized that the situation was completely different from what they thought. Richard did not win by taking advantage of Mephitos' weakness as they imagined.
After receiving Richard's order, the barbarians and Flavius beside him activated the suit's special effects without any hesitation. In an instant, a golden fire dragon phantom appeared on all of them.
With the fire dragon protecting them, these barbarians rushed towards the demons. At the same time, Flavius also activated his strongest state and shot continuously at Baal.
The next second, dazzling magical light burst out, and various spells were triggered wherever the bow and arrow passed. A large number of demons were directly wiped out by these magical powers.
On the other side, the barbarians who rushed into the demon army became stronger, and the golden fire dragons protecting them made them even more powerful. Wherever they passed, all the demons were either chopped in half or their heads were chopped off.
Flames, ice storms, and chain lightning burst out from them one after another. The magic swept across, and the surrounding demons were cleared out in the blink of an eye. At this time, these barbarians also threw javelins at Diablo.
The moment these javelins were thrown, they turned into lightning and flew towards Diablo instantly.
Diablo and Baal cast spells to resist, but then they were shocked to find that their spells were instantly shattered by those terrifying arrows and javelins. Then those violent arrows and javelins drowned them with endless magic.
Diablo's body was blown to pieces, and they didn't even have a chance to dodge before their hideous heads were torn off by the powerful magic. The bodies they were so proud of were useless in the face of these attacks.
Without giving them any chance at all, Diablo and Baal's bodies were blown to pieces.
Diablo and Baal never imagined that the trap they set here today would eventually become their burial place.
The moment everyone launched the attack, Richard prepared the spells in his hand, and the moment he saw Diablo and Baal die, several spells were released.
——【Soul Binding Technique! 】
——【Soul shock! 】
——【Soul extraction! 】
The golden rune chains instantly extracted the souls of Diablo and Baal, and then the powerful spell instantly hit their souls. The horrible and hideous souls of the two demons were directly shattered at this moment and turned into countless scattered fragments.
Two pure magic gems appeared, and the next second a powerful soul suction appeared, directly extracting Diablo's soul and Baal's soul into the two gems.
Diablo and Baal were sealed by two magic gems without any resistance.
Wow.
Two divine crystals fell into his hands.
[Diablo's Soul Crystal! ], [Baal's Soul Crystal! ]
The black soul crystal shone with a rich golden glow. This soul crystal with divine power was also called a divine crystal. In the world of Motera, the soul crystals produced by demons and devils were very high.
Under normal usage, the divinity is extracted and the soul power is given to the tower spirit to absorb or left inside to be used as a soul crystal to make a tower spirit core or for other uses.
Diablo and Baal also lost five points of divinity. The three demons of hell suffered heavy losses this time. They were originally demons at the level of weak gods. After losing five points of divinity, their strength was barely at the level of weak gods. Basically, they dared not go to the sanctuary to cause trouble. If they died again, it was very likely that other demon lords would want to replace them.
After seeing Diablo and Baal being killed, all the barbarian warriors became excited. Their thousands of years of hatred erupted at this moment. Then, without Richard's orders, these barbarian warriors began to slaughter the demons frantically.
Because Richard had used his divine power to seal off the valley, these demons could not leave here at all, and they were eventually killed by these barbarians. After beheading Diablo and Baal, the heads of these two hell gods were taken back by Flavius and prepared to be hung on the city wall.
Richard was preparing to extract, fuse and absorb the divine power of the Three Demon Gods of Hell.
In the world of Diablo, Richard directly obtained twenty-two points of divine power this time. If he absorbed all of it, his divine power would directly exceed fifty points.
Although he had not yet reached the level of medium divine power, fifty points of divine power could allow his body to undergo another transformation, and at the same time, his domain power would be strengthened once again.
The more divine power in the body, the greater the changes in the body. Richard's blood has now begun to turn golden. Originally, the blood in his body only had a hint of golden brilliance. After several transformations, part of his blood has turned golden.
Under the influence of divine power, his body is transforming towards immortality. Now his bloodline level is no longer divine life, demigod, but is transforming towards a true god.
Richard returned to Lugain and began to retreat to absorb divine power. At the same time, magic books, rune stones, jewelry, etc. were still sent to him from all over the world. After Richard killed the three demons of hell, his reputation in the shelter had reached its peak.
After clearing out the demons, various places began post-war reconstruction work.
Thirty-three rune stones have been collected by people from all over the world, and there are enough of them to form several complete rune sets. Various jewels have also been sent.
Richard basically completed what he wanted to collect.
The divine power of the Three Demon Gods of Hell is not easy to absorb and integrate. This is because the true bodies of the Three Demon Gods of Hell are still intact. When Richard is erasing the consciousness in his divinity, he will have a battle with the Three Demon Gods of Hell at the level of soul consciousness.
However, even with the support of their original bodies, the consciousness within these divine powers was no match for Richard. They were quickly torn apart, obliterated, and eventually disappeared completely in repeated confrontations.
After all the consciousness in the divinity was wiped out, Richard integrated the power of the divinity into his body. At the same time, the divinity attributes of the three demon gods of hell were also worn away by Richard. He did not want to become an evil god or a god of the dark pantheon, so these domain-related powers such as [hatred], [terror], [destruction], [darkness], [pain], and [evil] would not be contaminated.
No matter whether it is a god or other person, it is best not to have the [domain] power he possesses in a contradictory situation.
Although it is possible to have opposing fields, as time goes by and the field research becomes more in-depth, the opposing fields will seriously affect one's own strength. In serious cases, opposing personalities or godheads may even appear.
Once this happens, the problem is serious. It is very likely that two opposing personalities or godheads will split from your body. Only a very small number of gods can possess two opposing domain powers under special circumstances.
For example, the [Goddess of Fate] a long time ago was also called the [Goddess of Chance]. She once mastered the two areas of [Luck] and [Misfortune]. But after she died because of a conspiracy, the [Goddess of Luck] and the [Goddess of Misfortune] were born from her corpse respectively.
Richard didn't want to try to master relative power unless he could do the two-sided operation. But after this operation, it would mean that he would be affected by divinity and domain.
Will he still be himself by then?
At that time, was he the one controlling and mastering the divine power, or was the divine power controlling him?
Richard was unwilling to be deified, not only because he would be restricted by the kingdom of God and unable to leave the universe, but also because the godhead, priesthood, and divinity had too great an influence on the will of the gods.
They will subtly influence the consciousness of the gods, making them think and act according to the standards of priesthood, divinity, and godhead.
If the person who deifies him is not strong enough or his soul is not powerful enough before he is deified, then he will eventually become a puppet of the godhead and be influenced and controlled by the godhead.
Divine power exceeding fifteen points is not so easy to digest. Even though Richard now controls a part of the divinity of death and has a strong advantage in erasing the consciousness of divine power, it is not easy to absorb divinity.
However, the power of the divinity of death is indeed much more effective in clearing out the consciousness of those divinities. Originally, it took hundreds of soul consciousness killings to clear out a point of divinity, but now it only takes about thirty times.
This method of absorbing divine energy tripled the speed. It would take about half a year to absorb all of the 15 points of divine energy.
Next, Richard erased the remaining consciousness of his divinity while looking through the magic books sent from various places, and conducted various experiments at the same time.
Shelter World.
With the death of the Three Demon Gods of Hell, the number of demons wreaking havoc in various places has also begun to decrease significantly. Without the support of the Three Demon Gods, it is impossible for ordinary demons to enter the sanctuary.
The demons that seemed endless before began to decrease rapidly. The number of animals infected by demonic power in various places also began to decrease. The world of the shelter began to shift towards the normal world.
As for the Supreme Heaven, after seeing the fate of the Three Demon Gods of Hell, they became more cautious towards the Sanctuary World. The Nephalem in the Sanctuary had the super powerful artifact equipment made by Richard, and now no angel wanted to experience it for themselves.
As for destroying the World Stone and destroying the foundation of the Sanctuary World? Not only do they not dare to do such a thing, they even have to take action to protect it, for fear that others will accidentally break the World Stone.
By then, the Nephalem's strength will be restored after losing the suppression of the World Stone, and with the addition of those equipment, both angels and demons will be doomed.
Now both the High Heaven and the Burning Hell are reducing their influence, fearing that they will attract the attention of the Nephalem and then come out to give them a severe blow.
Without the interference of Heaven and Hell, the Sanctuary world soon calmed down, the remaining demons were cleared out, and various parts of the world began to enter a recovery period.
Richard stayed in the Sanctuary for almost a year, successfully absorbing all the divine powers into his body. A year also allowed the energy of the Infinity Stones in his body to recover.
After collecting all the magical knowledge in the world of Diablo into the Soul Library, Richard prepared to leave this world with his little maid Flavie.
Flavius had long known that Richard was not from this world, and was willing to continue following him away.
In Lugoin, a distant desert, Richard appeared in the ruins of a forgotten city.
The next second, a powerful magic burst out from him, and the power of the space gem instantly opened a portal. Richard took Flavius and left this world.
