From Blood Mage to Styx Ancestor

Chapter 396 Let's burn the imperial court to ashes!

everything is over.

The Mother of No Birth stood alone on a piece of mechanical wreckage, silently watching the seven figures facing her.

They almost permeate heaven and earth, and each of them radiates an energy level that surpasses all others.

While his severe injuries certainly contributed to the drop in his energy level, the sheer power of the figures on the other side cannot be denied.

He had been driven to a dead end, with no way to retreat.

Those mechanical gods abandoned Him without hesitation. Not only that, they also blocked the only exit after they left, leaving Him to face the enemy alone.

His allies, who should have been his, turned into his enemies after a series of betrayals.

Now, they are discussing with their enemies how to deal with Him.

"Have you decided how to deal with Him?" The spirit fire within the Deathbird's head flickered, casting a malicious glance.

Modi had already discussed the matter with the three gods and was planning to give them face.

"It's up to you whether to kill or spare; we have no objection."

The Death Star ship owners and the Lord of Evolution remained silent, offering no opinions whatsoever.

"I see..." He tilted his head, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Don't you still need nourishment? Then, kill him. It would be best if he couldn't get out of bed before the war ends."

"As you wish."

Modi shrugged, picked up his gun and sword, and took a few steps forward.

"Do you truly intend to exterminate us all?" The Mother of No Life exhaled, making a final struggle. "I can forget all of this, and I can also do things for you—"

'

"We don't need it." Mordy raised his spear, blood-red light spiraling out of his hand. "Let's end this."

Moments later, the final spiral stretched across the heavens and earth, annihilating everything in its path, including the Mother of No Life who had been hit right in the bullseye.

It is foreseeable that it will enter a long period of dormancy and may not wake up until the end of the Battle of the Abyss.

"This deal is settled," the Lord of Evolution said softly, then turned to Modi, "Would you mind if I stayed here temporarily?"

Modi's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Of course not, you're welcome anytime."

Having the Lord of Evolution temporarily stationed here would make it easier for him to call upon it for help at any time.

"I'm not staying here any longer," the Death Star ship shrunk in size, storing most of its mass in another dimension. "If you need anything, you can ask me for help... or I can ask you for help."

"I reckon it won't be long before we meet again," the Deathbird added, its words full of hidden meaning.

Perhaps it is true, as some have said, that the Battle of the Abyss is nearing its end.

"I remember." He nodded, opened the subspace portal, and watched the two jump away.

With the two foreign demon gods gone, the vast subspace finally calmed down and was no longer as turbulent as before.

Those Chaos Gods who had been hiding in their territories, trembling with fear, have also resurfaced and begun to adapt to the Warp, which can be described as a rebirth.

After the upgrade, the subspace has changed dramatically. Not only has the energy level increased, but the space has also expanded considerably.

Perhaps only the subspace and the four gods know where its current boundaries are.

"This battle for promotion has finally come to an end." Paradise breathed a sigh of relief, her demeanor dignified, unlike her usual frivolous and overt manner.

The twisted nature of the demon gods brought about many changes for them. After their ascension, they were no longer so extreme, just like the stagnant and corrupt heaven.

He didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but he wasn't against it now.

"But an even more intense war awaits us," the tamperer said, tilting his head and revealing an ugly smile, "in the not-too-distant future."

Zhi Futian pulled out a cup of tea from somewhere, took a small sip, and said as he drank, "Jumping out of one whirlpool only to fall into another, what a waste of life. When will things finally be quiet?"

"This is the price, the price of upgrading," the tamperer said with a relaxed expression. "It's worth it for just these costs."

Perhaps because Zhifutian has crossed the state of decay and changed a lot, his attitude towards this guy has improved a lot now.

"By the way, where's Slaughtering Heaven?"

He looked around but did not see the familiar red figure; he only saw the scarlet streak he had left behind.

"He left a long time ago," Zhi Futian shook his head, "saying he had something to take care of."

"What important matter requires his personal involvement? Why didn't he invite us as well?" Bliss asked curiously.

"Who knows? Maybe it's a family matter."

Modi did have something to deal with, but it wasn't anything big, just a small matter, a very small matter.

At least that's how it is for him right now.

"The backup plans we made earlier can be withdrawn; they're practically useless to me now anyway."

Looking at the backup plan he had left behind, Modi couldn't help but laugh.

From his current perspective, if he fails to advance, these backup plans are very likely not enough to protect him; at most, they will allow the Blood God Cult to preserve its strength as much as possible.

Fortunately, he succeeded, and there was no need to use any of these backup plans.

"There's one more thing, what's the situation on the Aurora side?"

He turned his head and saw Elena reach out from behind, stand on tiptoe, wrap her arms around his neck, and press her entire body against him.

"What else can we do? The officials in the court are still bickering, and most of them oppose the proposal of that imperial prime minister, which means they oppose my legitimacy as a descendant of the dragon."

"That's not all," Su Youli said as she entered. "According to Five Fingers' secret investigation, they seem to be plotting to seize power, with a certain general at the center."

Her expression was cold, and with each step she took, an endless, deathly chill swept over her, instantly covering the entire antique room with frost.

He chuckled lightly, "What's so special about this? After being peaceful for thousands of years, why deliberately cause trouble at this particular time?"

The cold front stopped in front of him, less than a meter away, but Su Youli did not stop and walked straight to his side.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, accompanied by her cool voice: "According to the intelligence gathered by Five Fingers, they should have started preparing for this event when the Ether Wind reversed and the tide was about to arrive."

"The tide has now reached its peak, and they probably can't wait any longer."

What impact will the near-peak etheric tides have? The answer is obvious: the energy level of this continent will return to its peak.

It can even simultaneously carry a large number of individual demon gods like Modi.

Those princes and nobles couldn't wait any longer; they wanted to carve out their own territories, declare themselves kings, further increase their influence, or gain more benefits.

"In Cinnabar these days, there are quite a few new immortal individuals, as well as a group of old monsters left behind. These are all threats... well, but perhaps they don't quite qualify now?"

Su Youli glanced at Mo Di and suddenly felt that all her previous efforts had been in vain.

As long as Modi possesses absolute military strength, no matter how ambitious individuals plot, they will not succeed.

She was even certain that the moment Modi arrived, he had enveloped the entire Zhen Dan with his spiritual sense, simultaneously monitoring everyone present.

Yes, everyone, it was no burden for him at all.

His next words confirmed this conjecture.

"Do you need my help to take care of those people? It won't take long, and there's no need to worry about accidentally harming anyone. I've hijacked their minds."

Modi spoke the terrifying words calmly, his expression remaining unchanged, showing that he was serious.

"Isn't this a bit too extreme?" Elena was a little embarrassed, but she had no doubt about what Mordy said.

This guy definitely has the ability to do this.

Her only worry was that if Modi acted according to his temperament, many people would die, creating a situation that literally meant mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

This would lead to the collapse of the order in China, and even if she eventually succeeds to the throne of the Dragon Emperor, she will only end up with a mess.

Even if it only targets officials in the imperial court, it will create a large power vacuum.

But power doesn't like a vacuum; it will spontaneously fill the vacuum, which may give rise to all sorts of strange groups and bring more problems.

However, the latter is not unsolvable. As long as she transfers a large number of people from the Blood God Cult, she can fill the power vacuum.

However, another problem will arise: how will the Blood God Cult's management manage the country of Aurora, which has a completely different national situation?

In the end, she'll be the one with the headache.

"Indeed, so what do you suggest we do? Right now, you're the ones in charge of the Blood God Cult, so I'll listen to you."

Modi crossed his hands, indicating that he would listen to them and that his only responsibility was to draw the knife and intimidate.

In fact, although he had boundless energy, the series of battles had made him want to "rest," and he planned to follow his heart and take a break for a while.

Then we will face the potentially even more brutal battle in the Abyss of Death.

"It's not that we can't kill them, but we have to kill them in a planned and targeted manner," Su Youli corrected. "Kill the ringleaders first, like that general, and we can put the rest aside for now."

Elena naturally continued, "Later, we can select some people from the Blood God Cult to participate in the management of Zhen Dan... When the time is right, we can purge those who still harbor disloyal intentions."

Having held power in the Blood God Cult for many years, they were very adept at handling similar issues. Moreover, with a demon god backing them up, it was hard for them not to be confident.

"That's settled then." Modi nodded from time to time, his wandering eyes suggesting that he was lost in thought.

He was thinking about the Dragon Emperor, and now he was almost certain that the Dragon Emperor was one of the manifestations of the Dragon God Aktosh.

Another rumor has been confirmed. Should I take some time to specifically verify the various rumors circulating in mainland China?

His absent-mindedness was noticed by the two of them. Although they knew he must have taken his words to heart, Su Youli couldn't help but sigh and gently pinch his waist, the pressure barely enough to stop him.

"Hmm?" Mordy tilted his head. "Is there anything else?"

"Nothing... Hmm, you used to never zone out like that, has something been bothering you lately?"

She brought over a chair that looked quite expensive and sat down next to Modi.

"What did we encounter? Well, not really... no, actually we did encounter some, like the Battle of the Abyss."

After carefully considering his words, Modi did not hide anything from his two closest friends, since there was no point in hiding it anyway.

"I've arranged an escape route for you. It's a new arrangement, completely different from the ones before my promotion, and much safer..."

,

"And what about you?" Elena interrupted him, "Are you really going to continue participating in that war?"

Her tone was tinged with worry, even though she knew that Mordi was already a player who could influence the game.

"An agreement is an agreement, and that will not change." Modi nodded with a smile.

Since he has accepted someone's favor and help, he should give back in a way that is worthy of his gratitude.

"Then, what about us?" Su Youli said softly, "You have an agreement with us too, right?"

"I remember, so I won't perish in that war..."

""

Modi raised her head slightly, but before she could finish her confident words, she closed her mouth with her hand.

"Forget it, you'd better not set any goals."

He shook his head, wisely refraining from saying things like "Demons don't die, they just resurrect by casting a spell."

After all, during his resurrection, he will lose almost all perception of the outside world, unless, like the Mother of No Birth, his lost essence is touched by someone.

During that time, to others, it was no different from him being dead.

You have received a message from Embers and Scorched Earth.

A notification popped up on the legal network. Modi opened the message, glanced at it, nodded, but said nothing.

Elena asked, "Is there news from the south?"

"Yes, the Candlelight of the Embers and Scorched Earth will join forces with the Blood God Cult to wipe out the remaining remnants of the cult."

He didn't take it to heart; in his view, the remnants of the church were already doomed.

Those members of the Candlelight Society who follow the path of light have been loyal to him ever since he revealed his appearance through the path of light, and they still firmly hold onto the scorched earth.

Combining the northern and central regions controlled by the Blood God Cult, he has now divided the entire continent in two, with a red line running across the center of the continent.

If this were a 7+ coloring game, he would be close to finishing it by now.

The remaining western mountains and eastern Sin Dan are both vulnerable; the former is easily captured, and the latter has already been set in his sights.

"This game is almost over."

As his thoughts rose into the air, gazing at the cross-shaped continent of Itniti beneath his feet, he felt a strange restlessness.

Beneath this continent, no, in a deeper place, there exists something that attracts him.

But this feeling was elusive and uncertain, making it difficult for him to follow it and uncover the secrets beneath.

Perhaps, when he finally grasps this continent firmly, he will be qualified to uncover its deep secrets, just like the God of Light once did.

But it won't be long.

"Send troops to the mountains to the west."

97

As soon as the order was given, Modi felt a sensation on his cheek and opened his eyes.

"It's time to snap out of it," Elena waved her hand in front of him. "Since the Western Front is preparing for war, we can't fall behind. Let's go burn the court to ashes."

"Yes, it's time."

Mo Di chuckled and, surrounded by them, walked out of the antique-style room.

The guards at the door were taken aback when they saw this stranger walk out of the room, followed by his two distinguished guests, Elena and Su Youli. They then instinctively drew their swords.

thump.

With a flick of his sleeve, Mordi caused the consciousness of the two immortals to fall silent and they fainted.

He looked up, his eyes reflecting the argument taking place in the court.

It's time to put an end to it.
