Spellcasting Gods

The demons need nothing but destruction and pollution, transforming vast areas that originally radiated pure energy into fel energy, turning them into logistical bases for their massive legions.

This means that even if Heaven repels this attack in the future, it will not be able to restore these lands to their original state.

Left with no other choice, the two archangels personally led fifty legions to block the demons' only path and brutally annihilated the enemy's vanguard.

Hundreds of thousands of stinking corpses were densely packed across tens of square kilometers of land.

By the time Zhang Cheng arrived with his reinforcements, the vanguard, composed of low-level cannon fodder, had been completely wiped out. Many of the unfortunate souls who were captured alive were nailed to crosses, enduring the relentless burning of holy energy for twenty hours. Their agonizing screams echoed in the air, making everyone feel uncomfortable.

Chapter 0945 Born Demon King

"Hmph! These angels actually think they can slow down the legion's march with such a childish method? They're simply overestimating themselves!"

Reines swung his barbed whip and snapped the neck of a demon who was still alive on the cross, his tone full of contempt and mockery.

One of the most obvious reasons why demons are called demons is that they lack the collective thinking of "empathy" that most intelligent life forms possess.

Quite the contrary!

They are extremely self-centered, even selfish. They show no sadness or sympathy for the death of their fellow human beings, and will do everything they can to profit from it.

Sure enough, the demon army that arrived later threw the corpses of these dead demons into a huge furnace without saying a word. Then, they continuously crushed the flesh and bones, using magic and alchemy to create one large war golem after another, each three meters tall.

No mercy!

No dignity!

There is no secular ethics or morality whatsoever!

Every demon is part of a vast army, and whether they live or die, they continuously contribute to the growth of the army.

Undoubtedly, this extremely evil and ruthless code of conduct is quite to the liking of demons, so not only does no one object, but they also actively take those unfortunate souls who are only half alive off the cross and throw them into the huge furnace of flesh and blood.

In no time, hundreds of thousands of corpses were consumed, replaced by more than 60,000 newly created undead life forms that resembled abominations.

They are so ugly and disgusting, but their combat power is exceptionally strong, especially their cockroach-like physical and magical resistance. They can withstand the enemy's magic and launch the first wave of attacks to provide cover for the following troops.

Watching these "big guys" clumsily move, Warren stroked his chin with amusement and teased, "I think those angels must be really frustrated right now! They never dreamed that these corpses, originally left behind to demoralize us, would provide us with tens of thousands of powerful cannon fodder who are completely fearless. How about launching an attack to test the waters?"

"Don't rush! To me, this is just a war game, the outcome of which was predetermined from the start. Therefore, instead of quickly defeating the opponent, it's better to spend more time enjoying the process. I'm curious whether these angels, created using some special method, are truly as rumored, subconsciously unaware of fear and despair." Zhang Cheng's eyes gleamed with a wicked glint.

"Oh? What do you plan to do?" Ashma asked with a slight upturn of her lips, a half-smile playing on her lips.

As the only native of Hell to join the Legion's upper echelons, she harbored naked malice towards her old rival, Heaven. Along the way, she had tortured and humiliated more than a hundred young angels to death, each death extremely gruesome.

A playful expression appeared on Zhang Cheng's face, which was entirely cast in metal. He replied meaningfully, "Of course, it's about destroying what they cherish most, destroying the devout faith in their hearts. First, we must launch an attack on these angelic legions that block our path, and maintain a certain level of intensity—enough to put them under immense pressure, but not to drive them to despair. Second, we will send the Dreadlords to infiltrate Cloud City, build a portal, and dispatch elite troops to directly raid Heaven's most important city, seizing the heart of that arrogant self-proclaimed sole creator, Jehovah. Finally, in front of all the angels, I will corrupt it with fel energy, turning it into an evil artifact."

"Hahahaha! The heart left behind by the Lord of Polluted Paradise? That sounds incredibly exciting! Please count me in!" Ashma laughed as she made her application.

The longer she spent with Zhang Cheng, the more she realized that he was a born demon king, a monster so insane that even demons were terrified.

"No problem!" Zhang Cheng nodded without hesitation, then immediately instructed the Dreadlord not far away, "Berome, you'll be in charge of this infiltration, is that alright?"

“It is my honor to serve your great and evil plans, Master.” Berom bowed deeply.

Compared to not long ago, his size had increased significantly, and his entire body radiated a twisted shadow power.

It goes without saying that he completely absorbed and digested the energy of that remaining fragment, and now he has the demeanor of the first lord of the new legion, Nathrezim, with almost all the dreadlords following him as their leader.

……

Just two hours later, the endless army of demons arrayed themselves and launched a frenzied attack on the angel legion. In less than half a day, more than 60,000 ordinary angels, 5,000 high-ranking angels, and two archangels were killed in battle.

Such staggering casualties threw the two archangels into a panic, prompting them to seek reinforcements from the rear.

In less than seven hours, wave after wave of reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, injecting fresh vitality into the already heavily damaged army.

Unbeknownst to them, during the previous fierce battle, thousands of Dreadlords had infiltrated the city, and some had even secretly sneaked into Cloud City to plot the construction of a portal for a perfect surprise attack.

It's important to understand that Heaven is not Hell; it's a place filled with order, and the source of all order is the Archangel Council of Cloud City and the Holy Tomb, which is named the Source of Light.

To ensure that these two key locations are not destroyed, at least half of them, namely the six archangels, are stationed in Cloud City year-round, while the remaining six are scattered in various corners, responsible for maintaining the territory of Heaven from invasion.

But now, in order to deal with the demons' frenzied attacks, six archangels have already appeared in the military camp, and with those who have not yet returned from other places, there will be no more than four in Cloud City.

It goes without saying that this was a perfect opportunity for a surprise attack.

Belome, leading his dreadlords, silently captured nearly two thousand newborn angels who had just emerged from the Lake of Life. He then fixed them beneath a massive obsidian archway, raising his hands and chanting evil, forbidden incantations.

In the blink of an eye, the life force of these poor, unlucky souls was continuously drained and injected into one demonic rune after another on the archway.

Once the last rune was activated, the temporary short-range portal finally stabilized.

The abyss lords, who could no longer contain their bloodlust and destructive desires, rushed in in the first wave, and began to destroy buildings like madmen, summoning fire rain to kill the angels who tried to rush over and destroy the portal.

Following closely behind is the Doomguard Legion led by Pollack!

They were like heavily armored infantrymen in the age of cold weapons, wielding greatswords and crushing anything that dared to stop the legion's advance...

Chapter 0946 I am killing, destruction, and annihilation

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a deafening roar and violent shaking of the ground, enormous hellfire golems descended from the sky at the summoning of the Eredar warlocks, causing unimaginable destruction to the once peaceful, tranquil, and orderly city in less than ten minutes.

Especially those exquisitely designed buildings, statues, and fountains that had withstood the test of time suffered a devastating blow, turning into worthless rubble and debris in the blink of an eye.

Despite the angels' best efforts to defend their homeland, the attackers were the elite of the legion. Even the archangel, whose wings shimmered with golden light, could not save the statue in the central square, which was erected to praise the Most High God, Jehovah.

In addition, the Lake of Life, which was formed from human souls to create angels, was also polluted by the blood of the raging abyss lords, turning into a strange yellowish-green color. It no longer had the sacred aura it once possessed, but was instead filled with twisted and evil power.

Before the archangel could figure out what was happening, the large number of souls that had settled in the lake began to twist and become restless, eventually crawling out tens of thousands of half-demon beings.

They are like mindless beasts, launching unrestrained attacks on angels who possess divine energy. Once they succeed, they tear open their chests and swallow their beating hearts and souls whole.

Even more terrifying is that if they devour a certain number of monsters, they will undergo incredible evolution, mastering all sorts of powerful spell-like abilities, and they will die on the spot if they are not careful.

By the time Zhang Cheng's massive metal body passed through the portal, Cloud City had already transformed into a battlefield filled with deafening shouts of battle.

He glanced around and immediately exclaimed with a smile, "This is the most beautiful sight in the world. From this moment on, I am slaughter, destruction, and annihilation."

“That’s right! Great master! This is the most beautiful scenery in the world! No matter how many times you see it, you will never get tired of it!” Berom knelt on one knee and echoed.

As a dreadlord, he could feel the desperate cries of the angels; nothing could stop the city from its destruction.

“Well done! As a reward, from this day forward, you are the first lord of the new Burning Legion's Nathrezim. Now, go and enjoy this feast.” Zhang Cheng extended a finger as thick as a pillar and gently tapped the other man's head.

moment!

A vast amount of magical knowledge that he had never encountered before flooded into Berom's mind.

It took him several minutes to digest and absorb this knowledge before he spread his enormous bat wings and charged toward the nearest angel, grabbing him in his palm and pouring in a wisp of evil shadow energy.

moment!

The angel's wings were tinged with a light gray, and without a word, he turned and stabbed his comrade-in-arms.

The longsword, forged from a rare magical metal from heaven, pierced through his chest, and holy silver blood gushed from the wound.

Until his last breath, this poor, unlucky guy still didn't understand why his best friend wanted to kill him.

With the killing of his first angel of his kind, the angel's wings, influenced by a mysterious force, were completely stained black. It was obvious that he had utterly fallen.

"Hehehehe! Interesting! Is this the powerful magic that can directly affect the soul? It's practically tailor-made for Nathrezim. Test! I need to conduct more tests!" Belom grinned maliciously, transforming into a black shadow and beginning his ruthless magical experiments.

Under his control, the number of fallen angels on the battlefield increased, and eventually, the first legion composed entirely of fallen angels was born in the northwest.

Zhang Cheng had no interest in such trivial matters and strode over to the tall building named "Holy Tomb".

According to the records of Hell, this is the tomb of Jehovah, the former Lord of Heaven, whom mankind regards as the only true God of the universe.

Of course, the idea of ​​the one true God of the universe should be taken as a joke.

Because any god who dares to give themselves such a chuunibyou (delusional) title is either an idiot with an off-the-charts level of chuunibyou or a self-aggrandizing fraud.

Clearly, this cunning god doesn't seem like an idiot at all, so he can naturally be categorized as the latter.

His greatest strength lies in maximizing the power of faith, transforming an entire world into his own kingdom, and banishing any energy that is not compatible with his power.

You could say that the entire Heaven is equivalent to God himself!

Normally, it would be quite difficult to kill such a powerful god.

But as the saying goes, cleverness often backfires, and no matter how clever a swindler is, the end result is usually not good.

In order to make the Earth part of his kingdom, Jehovah descended in ancient times, attempting to show off and harvest the faith of ordinary people who were still in a primitive and ignorant era.

But as the saying goes, don't show off, or you'll get struck by lightning.

His actions angered the Olympian gods, who were at the height of their power at the time!

Zeus, the god-king who controlled the power of thunder, led his brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters to attack, beating the poor god until he was unable to take care of himself. Then, he was attacked by the gods of ancient Egypt, and only his heart was left, which was taken back by the archangel.

Later, the archangels who took over the authority, taking advantage of the ancient gods of the earth falling into a deep sleep, personally directed and created the greatest hoax in the history of human civilization, namely the so-called story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, successfully fulfilling the wish that their master desired but could not achieve.

It must be said that this is a huge irony, a dark humor that makes everyone in the know burst into laughter.

Standing on the steps, Zhang Cheng silently watched the three archangels wielding longswords burning with golden holy flames in the distance, as well as Reines, Pollak, and Eshima fighting against them. He casually asked, "Does any of you need help?"

“No! Thank you! I’m enjoying the feeling right now!” Ashma was the first to refuse without hesitation.

The male archangel who was fighting her had his hair, eyebrows, and beard burned away by the green fel fire, and looked utterly disheveled.

The succubus queen, Renes, raised her hand and fired a powerful shadow arrow, licking her alluring red lips as she said, "I'm sorry, master, I don't think you need to personally deal with such trash."

"It's over! All fools who dare to oppose the Legion must die!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

Pollack raised his hoof-like right foot and stomped it hard on the ground, causing a violent tremor. Then, with a swift movement, he chopped off his opponent's head on the spot, and then spread his wings to envelop himself.

The archangel, having lost his head, had golden cracks appear on his body before exploding with a deafening roar, creating a terrifying storm of divine energy.

Even a demon lord like Eshima couldn't avoid suffering severe burns, with large areas of her skin covered in pustules and blisters...

Chapter 0947 McGar

After the devastating energy storm subsided, Pollak retracted his wings to protect himself, grabbed his opponent's gaping head, and roared, "Fallen or die! Choose! No one can stop the Legion's advance!"

"No! It's you who should go! You despicable demon!" Another female archangel angrily raised her weapon and rushed forward with lightning speed, knocking him away with a bang.

Although she looks almost identical to a human, the energy level contained within her body is actually approaching that of some relatively weak gods.
