Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 95 Strengthening of True Divine Power
Nemesis, flying high in the sky, wanted to curse. The human who was pulling his tail not only attracted the attention of the demon with his loud voice, but also kept shaking himself, trying to get himself to let him down.

Why are you going down there? Are you looking for death?

Nemesis looked at the crimson monster, and his heart felt as cold as the icy sea water.

That was a wolf-snake demon. He would not make a mistake. It was the bloodiest and most brutal demon in the abyss. Any wolf-snake demon was at least a level 20 pseudo-legendary monster.

God knows how long this demon has been awake, but Nemesis took a quick look and was sure that the victims were definitely not limited to Cologne. Everything in front of him seemed like the end of the post-apocalyptic era, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. Nemesis looked at the crack that stretched for ten kilometers and found a strange red color seeping out from it.

He looked closely and his face changed. The crack was filled with a large number of human broken limbs and blood. For some unknown reason, the brutal demon squeezed the entire city's people into the crack alive.

Gusts of cold wind blew, the wailing of souls echoed faintly in the air, and the cloak behind Nemesis became brighter and brighter. He knew that it was the anger of the Silver Mother, and she was urging him to stop this evil creature.

"What can I do to stop it?" Nemesis felt like crying but had no tears. His daily chance to use the Dark Hour was gone, and his only reliance was on the [Holy Aura].

But looking at the strong evil aura surrounding the demon, Nemesis felt that this eight-ring magic probably wouldn't work.

The wolf snake demon stared at the giant dragon in the sky with its cyan eyes, and said in a thunderous voice: "Haha, a scroll dragon, oh no, wait..."

The wolf snake demon seemed to have discovered something. His expression became playful and he said with interest, "The emblem of the lord? Hehe, I'm really lucky today."

"I will kill you and bring your soul to my lord to seek credit. I will become a true demon lord!"

With a flash of red light, the wolf snake demon instantly teleported with a huge axe to the back of Nemesis who was far above the sky, and he chopped down with a powerful blow.

Nemesis's soul was in great fear, and he quickly teleported to the limit of his supernatural power - one kilometer away.

The wolf-snake demon fell heavily on the ground. The moment the scarlet axe blade touched the ground, violent energy burst out. With a loud bang, a deep pit dozens of meters wide and more than ten meters deep was smashed open by the axe.

The evil energy of the axe spread throughout the earth. Huge cracks extended along the deep pit to the surrounding areas, emitting a strange red light. The surrounding building ruins fell into the bottomless abyss with the wailing sound of wood.

"You're quite good at running." The wolf-snake demon grinned.

Nemesis looked serious, and in his heart he prayed to Selune, "I can't handle it. Goodbye."

Whoever wants to go can go. It is so insane to let a young scroll dragon face a high-level demon at the half-step legendary level.

Don't think that the wolf snake demon didn't seem to hurt him, that's just because the demon was playing. As a high-level demon, the wolf snake demon can use more than a dozen high-level spell-like abilities at will, including but not limited to [Malicious Transfiguration], [Blasphemy], [Advanced Teleportation], [Telekinesis], [Lightning Bolt], etc.

He couldn't deal with an existence of this level at all. He had to take the opportunity to escape while the demon wasn't serious.

The cloak behind Nemesis grew somewhat dim, as if its owner knew the current situation and felt powerless.

Faintly, a faint female sigh reached Nemesis' ears.

"Xiaolong, you must hold him back. In ten minutes, a divine weapon called the [Death Moon Orb] will arrive in this city. If this demon leaves here, he will be completely free."

"My Lady Goddess, it's not that I don't want to, but look at what I can use to hold back this demon?" Nemesis said speechlessly.

The voice sighed again, with pain in its voice: "I know, I will help you. Io has forbidden our power to reach the mortal world, but there is one power that is an exception - true divine power, the omnipotent power condensed by faith. Although I will still be punished by Io if I use divine power directly to attack the demon, so next, I can only use this power to fully enhance you for ten minutes."

Before Nemesis could refuse, something unusual happened to the black moon in the dome.

Like a broken eggshell, dazzling silver moonlight shot out from the shattered black moon. The moonlight condensed like a beam of energy, with golden lines carrying a sacred aura entangled on it.

The moonlight shone on Nemesis' body, and the wolf snake demon's face changed instantly. He felt the power that made him fear and hate - the power of God. Even though he knew that the dragon was receiving a blessing from a certain god, the demon did not dare to interrupt, because he knew that blasphemy was the only way for the gods to directly project power to destroy him.

The wolf-snake demon looked at the giant dragon unwillingly, with no intention of escaping. Any creature with the emblem left by the lord of the abyss, Demogorgon, would not be a simple character. Killing these creatures with the emblem and being promoted to a demon lord is an unspoken rule that most demons are aware of.

Putting the devil's entanglement aside, Nemesis now felt as if he had been sublimated. The mysteries of the world were revealed before his eyes, and the strength of his body gave him the illusion that he could even shatter a mountain with one punch.

Six rings, seven rings, eight rings, nine rings - the authority of the magic network was gradually revealed in front of him under the influence of divine power. Now he can even use nine-ring spells!

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any spell models for high-level spells except for conjuration and divination.

Not only that, Nemesis could feel his physical fitness improving crazily, he opened the panel and witnessed with his own eyes the three major physical attributes of physique, strength and agility climbing crazily at a speed of almost a point per second.

The moonlight lasted for a full minute before slowly stopping, and at this time, Nemesis' three physical qualities had all improved to over 70 points!

"Is this the true power of God? It can actually temporarily increase the power to such a terrifying level, and even affect the authority of the magic network." Nemesis took a breath.

"But it doesn't seem to be comprehensive." Nemesis felt it and found that his psychic powers and divine arts had not changed. The strengthening of true divine power seemed to have only increased the authority of his magic network.

Selune heard what Nemesis said, her voice filled with heartache and anger: "What else do you want? Do you know that just improving your magic network authority has consumed a whole crystal of my divine power! If it is used to improve your physical fitness, the effect will be at least five times greater than it is now!"

"If you weren't a useless scroll dragon, I wouldn't bless you in such an extravagant way." There was a hint of contempt in Selune's voice.

"Okay, now you should be confident that you can fight this demon. It took me ten years to collect this crystal of divine power. I hope you won't let me down." The Silver Madonna urged with regret.

"Got it." Nemesis agreed, but muttered in his heart, it seems that this energy called "True Divine Power" is very precious even among gods. Selûne is a medium-level divine power with millions of believers in the continent of Faerûn, but it takes her 10 years to collect a crystal of condensed divine power.

The dragon clenched his fists, containing endless surging power, which made him, who was used to being weak, extremely uncomfortable. He suddenly dived to the ground, and the extremely fast speed even produced a piercing sonic boom.

"Okay, wolf-snake demon, let's start the second round now." Nemesis had a ferocious smile on his dragon head.

The wolf-snake demon placed the axe in his hand against the ground, and a terrifying howl came out of its mouth. Its body instantly flashed red and appeared behind Nemesis.

Seventh-ring transformation spell——[Instant Lightning Jump]!
The dragon's huge body suddenly collapsed into a thick, shining lightning. While dodging the axe attack, it fiercely pierced through the wolf snake demon's body, attacked five times in one second, and then instantly jumped hundreds of meters away.

The wolf snake demon felt pain. [Olympic Fusion] and [Olympic Spirit Fusion] increased the power of all Nemesis' spells by 200%. Although [Lightning Jump] was only a five-ring spell, it also left five charred marks on the wolf snake demon's body.

However, the demon's regenerative ability was extremely strong, and the slight injury was completely recovered by the wolf snake demon in the blink of an eye. He turned around suddenly and threw the axe in the direction of Nemesis. The huge force made the axe break through the air and fly towards Nemesis at a speed of more than three times the speed of sound.

Seventh-ring Shaping Spell——[Instant Wall of Force]!
Nemesis did not make any move, just staring calmly at the axe flying towards him. An invisible force field wall stood in front of him, and the Wolf Snake Demon Axe hit the force field wall. A violent explosion spread from the contact surface, and the scarlet evil energy blew cracks in the force field wall. Fortunately, the force field wall adhered to its duty and shattered and disappeared only after the remaining power of the axe was exhausted.

Nemesis couldn't help but smack his lips. Even the [Force Field Wall] could be destroyed by brute force. The strength of this wolf-snake demon was close to that of a legendary melee professional. Its strength attribute points might have reached at least 90 points.

Nemesis was temporarily promoted to a 17th-level wizard. His high-ring spell slots were also enhanced by the mind gem. Although his intelligence attribute was not improved, he still had 40 ninth-ring spell slots.

After witnessing the terrifying power of the wolf-snake demon, the Volume Dragon gave up using his newly strengthened body for melee combat and continued to adopt the strategy of spell bombardment.

Nemesis quickly cast a spell. Even with the convenience of dragon language, it still required fifty syllables to cast a nine-ring spell. After the wolf snake demon exchanged his axe out of thin air, it suddenly turned into a shadow and rushed towards Nemesis.

Helplessly, Nemesis had to constantly use his psychic powers to teleport himself to buy time to chant the spell.

"Defender of truth, avenger of fallen righteous men, hand of celestial model, powerful general of the gods' army - servant of the other world! Please listen to my call and destroy the demons before you!"
