Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

After saying that, Celimoni conjured a golden hourglass in her palm and handed it to Serantia. When she cast her spell, the hourglass would start timing, and the sand would run out in a maximum of half an hour.

The Demon King frowned and said, "Those are two Demon Gods. Even I need some time to shatter their immortal divine bodies. Can't it take longer?"

Selene's eyes blazed with fury as she cursed, "Do you think I'm just standing around outside? When something happens, Matilda will be here within minutes, no matter where she is. If you've ever seen the Snow Woman's methods, you'll know just how troublesome the Polar Snowfield really is!"

Serantia stuck out her tongue, glanced at the silent couple, and said with a charming smile, "Alright, don't be angry. It's a bit short, but with the two of them here, it should be fine. I told you you should have brought Curtis along too. She'll help you keep the First Warrior in check. Be careful, the breaking of the gods' ban might give birth to many new monsters among mortals."

"I don't need your concern. Our cooperation is limited to killing the White Devil!"

"Tch, how indifferent. Once I crush the Holy Alliance, I'll definitely capture you and teach you a lesson."

"If you can do it, give it a try."

Serantia's voice gradually weakened, her figure blurred and twisted and disappeared. Her true form had already followed the White Demon's stench and sneaked into the palace. The Moon God Hunter and the Demon Lord had long since disappeared, leaving only Serimone in the courtyard.

"Lord of the Elements, Goddess of the Seven Luminaries, the skies of the past have been shrouded in darkness. Grant me a spear to pierce the clouds, crush the ambitions of the wicked, and lead the lost sheep back to the right path!"

852. The Demon God's Coffin

"Lord of the Elements, Goddess of the Seven Luminaries, the skies of the past have been shrouded in darkness. Grant me a spear to pierce the clouds, crush the ambitions of the wicked, and lead the lost sheep back to the right path!"

Selene sighed, gazing at the statue in the courtyard, kneeling on one knee, clutching the pendant on her chest, she murmured a prayer. The next second, her eyes blazed with rainbow light, and elemental imprints covered her delicate body like rune robes, elevating the law to its ultimate level. Without the obstruction of the gods' prohibitions, Selene easily broke through to the level of truth, casting divine spells with her demigod body.

Divine Spell: Imprisonment!

At this moment, the words uttered by the Archbishop of Rainbow were no longer the language of mortals but the sounds of runes. The Dragon Eye Staff emitted a dazzling light towards the sky, instantly illuminating the night. A seven-colored pillar of light descended from the sky like a rainbow coffin sealing the Azure Palace, which would become a prison to bury the devil!

The divine coffin descended upon the isolated royal palace, causing a great sensation. The Azure Guards and Cherry Orange Warriors who guarded the city flocked to the scene. Their eyes were expressionless; they were merely a group of soul slaves who obeyed orders. The soldiers charged towards the temple fearlessly, only to turn to ashes upon colliding with the rainbow.

Cerimone floated in the sky, her radiant figure overlooking the capital of Zadon, quietly awaiting her most troublesome old adversary. Her eyes were cold; she had never been a merciful divine messenger. She had no talent whatsoever for divine arts of healing and protection, but instead possessed extraordinary understanding of the path of punishment and judgment.

Perhaps it was because the fiery bloodline of the Crimson Emperor was stirring, and the destructive power of divine magic was increasing day by day. On this lonely battlefield, Celimoni finally no longer had to worry about anyone's safety...

The assault officially began. The violent tremors behind her did not affect the proud Demon Lord Serantia. She pushed open the tightly closed palace gates, placed the hourglass at the feet of Emperor Tafus's statue, and slowly stepped onto the white brick steps. The central courtyard was dark, without lights or servants. The once magnificent palace was now dilapidated and desolate, symbolizing the end of the powerful. Serantia knew that the Cherry Blossom Twins were inside. The subtle connection between the eight demon gods could never be severed.

"No need to hide anymore, come out and see me!"

Serantia gradually lost patience. The demon's shriek shattered all the glass windows of the palace, and the sound waves rushed straight to the royal hall. Then, her eyes suddenly lit up. At the end of the red carpet was a magnificent throne inlaid with countless precious magic stones, and the light source was coming from there.

A beautiful young woman dressed in a cherry blossom royal robe sat quietly on a blue throne, her face expressionless and her eyes vacant. Her petite figure seemed out of place on the enormous throne.

“That’s surprising. I was planning to deal with Cohen first before coming to you, Serantia.”

It was another handsome young man who spoke. He knelt behind the girl and carefully combed her long hair with patience and gentleness. The Cherry Blossom Twins were both hosts of the Demon God, both kings and each other's guardian knights, without distinction between them.

Serantia curled her lips into a smile and slowly approached. Strangely, she did not find any of the powerful servants who guarded the demon god. The Bone Twins had been plotting for so long; they should have been prepared.

"You hid at the Holy Alliance's round table, sucking the blood of humans to strengthen yourself. You've been lying in wait for this opportunity all this time. It's a pity you didn't expect the Revolutionary Army to return so quickly with their dragon-slaying allies, breaking the balance of power and forcing you to expose yourself to replace the defeated Azure King. Your idea is good, but you lack a bit of luck. If you really swallow up the Polar Snowfield and the Holy Alliance, it will be a real headache for me to find out then."

The boy fell silent, but the girl opened her lips and said softly, "Why make things so complicated? We just want to survive, survive, and then take revenge, to kill all the enemies who have harmed the Abyss. Isn't it better to have someone cleanse your wounds with their blood?"

These words are the thoughts of both the Cherry Blossom Twins and the demon residing within them. Every one of the Eight Pillar Demons longs to return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but Serantia cannot tolerate anyone threatening her position; that is far more important than dwelling on past failures.

“You know I won’t stand by and watch you continue to act recklessly. I know your capabilities better than anyone else, and if left unchecked, your threat far exceeds that of the human race.”

"So you brought the revolutionary army with you?"

The boy sighed softly, looking wistfully out the window. The rainbow halo radiated intense energy, sealing off the entire palace, leaving them isolated and helpless.

Serantia chuckled mischievously, "Strictly speaking, she brought me here. Now, let's have some fun. As you can see, no one can disturb our reunion."

At that moment, the Cherry Blossom Twins looked up at the same time, their gazes passing over the Demon King's tall figure and fixed on her back, revealing eerie smiles.

"It seems you'll never feel at ease until you devour us, but are you really sure you can do it? Aren't we the only ones who are isolated and helpless?"

As soon as the boy finished speaking, the girl said softly, "Perhaps our differences aren't that big. Why don't we sit down and talk it over? Mother would be heartbroken to see us killing each other, wouldn't you say?"

When Serantia heard her mother's name, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, clutching her stomach and shaking her head heavily. She wondered who had caused things to turn out this way, and why the demon had become the scapegoat for the gods.

"It's no use. Time is precious, so I won't stand on ceremony. The Great Tomb of Nazarick can only have one Demon King."

The thorns of carbuncle surged like lightning, eroding the floor tiles around Serantia, but the girl's next words silenced her.

"What if we were willing to submit to you?"

"........"

The boy frowned slightly but did not refute his sister. He simply sat down slowly, his ten fingers slowly coated with a layer of white bone, wary of the moonblade assassin in the darkness. They had already noticed their father's hounds and had not revealed any flaws, but they could not break the opponent's momentum with words alone.

“Annihilate the Revolutionary Army, and everything in the Holy Alliance will be ours. I am the Duke at the Round Table, and you are the Demon King beneath the Abyss. This is not a conflict. By joining forces, we can even devour the Free Federation, and the territory on the western coast of the Star Map will be under our control.”

The Cherry Blossom King's voice was melodious, and he was still stalling for time, but the Moonlit Hunter, who had been lurking in the shadows, had already made his move. Drops of ink fell from the ceiling. The girl changed the subject and stared at the skeleton knight behind the Demon King, the famous Demon God Warrior.

"And you, Unforgivable Sion, Lord of Demons, your soul is already in the hands of the Ferryman. Now that the gods' prohibition has been broken, I can help you completely break free from its control and make you a living Grim Reaper!"

"Thanks for the invitation, but unfortunately I've had enough of the curses."

Serantia's gaze was uncertain, but the Evil Lord Commander remained unmoved. With a single word, he blocked all of the White Demon God's escape routes. His hoarse voice sounded like sandpaper rubbing, eerie and cold. He tightened the reins of the skeletal unicorn and slowly approached, his dragon spear pointing at the Cherry Orange King, his body igniting with a green glow.

"Don't struggle anymore, devils, you can't do anything, because those two names are already nailed to the list. Fall down, then rise again, and exhaust your last bit of strength for the army of the dead!"

853. Vengeful Ghosts

Ding!

A flash of moonlight, and surging ink surged from above towards the throne. The purple chain blade crashed into a wall. The boy, holding a bone shield, easily blocked Tess's sneak attack. Half of his body had already transformed into a skeletal demon, his hideous armor covered in bone spikes. The Moonlit God Hunter was the only mad dog who had no chance of betraying his father, so there was no need to waste his breath on him.

The Cherry Blossom Twins' patience also had its limits. The girl jumped off the throne and stood up to fight alongside her brother. Ten white bone spikes slowly grew from her fingertips, and her twisted pretty face kept sneering.

"You seem to have overestimated yourselves. A bunch of maggots dare to provoke the wrath of the demon god. In that case, all of you may return to the realm of the dead!"

"You underestimated the wrath of the dead, Cherry Blossom King. Do you remember the disaster in Huangyan Province, the wailing at the Crimson Fortress? Now, the wronged souls of the unjustly killed have returned to haunt you!"

The demon overlord's low growl moved Serantia and Tess, and even caused the usually calm and composed skeletal twins to tremble slightly. It was at this moment that Tess began to realize that the man holding the dragon spear might not be Sion. That monster, which only obeyed orders, would never speak like that.

A green glow enveloped the palace, and an even more terrifying aura emanated from the darkness. In an instant, the dense deathly aura overwhelmed the pitch-black night and the necrotic rays. The most resolute demon hunter on this mission was none other than the Abyss's First Demon God Warrior, "Sion." He was not alone; behind him were three Ghost Riders who followed him like shadows. Each of their identities exuded astonishing power. They knew this city better than the Cherry Orange King and loved their allied people more than the Azure King. From the day of their resurrection, some had been waiting for this day of revenge and death, and only now has the mystery truly been revealed.

A griffin rider soared in the sky, raising his warhammer and roaring piercingly. His entire body was encased in armor, like a steel cannonball. It was this familiar figure and his iconic, majestic mount that stunned Tess. Deep in her incredulous gaze were some guesses, but she dared not believe them and was unwilling to accept them.

"Bowen!?"

The Yellow Rock King, wearing a spiked helmet, roared to the sky, and terrifying ripples spread around him. The trembling earth elements directly overturned the palace tower, and the rising thick, deep rocks surrounded the twin skeletons. Compared to the abyss demon king who was right in front of him, the disgusting tumor that was growing from within drove William even crazier. For this, he was willing to accompany the demon in exchange for evil rebirth.

"It was you who, in order to inherit the throne, allowed the demon to possess my body and devour the Platinum Palace! It was you who colluded with Tafus to abandon the Rock Dynasty front and seize my dynasty! It was you who caused my people to be displaced and my subjects to be homeless! It was you who made me a sinner of the Holy Alliance! You are the greatest traitors of humanity!"

Emperor William's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He swung his battle axe and cleaved the wall of bone shields, leaving several deep marks. He died in humiliation, becoming a laughingstock to everyone. He was then resurrected as a filthy evil spirit, defiling the blood of the human emperor. From that day on, the meaning of the Yellow Rock King's existence was for this day, to unleash all his humiliation and resentment on the traitor.

The body of the evil spirit did not bury the bloodline of the human emperor. In life, he was an extraordinary sage, and after death, he became even more powerful with the mark of the dead soul.

“William!”

Tess was shocked, as was Thrantia. The situation had taken an unexpected turn. She had no idea that Roland had gathered such a powerful group of undead right under her nose. What was Roland's true purpose in submitting to the Black Lich and serving the Abyss?

The appearance of King Huangyan startled and suspicious the Cherry Blossom Twins, but it only lasted for a short while. The two said in unison, "I wondered who it was. It turns out to be our dear Emperor William. You could have lived a little longer like the Tavers and his son. After all, you are so foolish and reckless. It would be a pity not to take advantage of you for a little longer. Unfortunately, Sion's scheme was too decisive, giving me no chance to react. Or maybe you were just too weak. What do you think?"

The fall of Huangyan Province was certainly related to the selfishness of the Azure King, but the real culprit was the White Devil, who had been hiding behind the scenes. Now they have returned, bringing with them the vengeful spirits of the Holy Alliance. Countless skeletal warriors have crawled out from the ground outside the city, and the army of the dead is helping Celimoni resist the Snow People.

"die!"

William charged recklessly, and the Cherry Orange King's counterattack was equally fierce. White bone fangs grew wildly like weeds, hindering the evil spirit's progress. But a rainbow torrent suddenly appeared, and a dazzling light, carrying elemental heat waves, surged into the sky, instantly melting the white bone claws.

The boy was now prostrate on the ground, transformed into a giant skeletal beast, with no trace of flesh or blood remaining. The girl rode on her brother's back, drawing a spine from behind to form a chilling bone sword. She frowned slightly, her gaze growing increasingly uneasy. Serantia and Tess had not yet joined forces, but the sheer power of Sion alone was already overwhelming.

How could there be elemental apostles among evil spirits?!

Divine Spell: Bright Light!

Behind the Demon Overlord, a mysterious evil spirit clad in black robes chanted an ancient yet familiar incantation. The molten core holy light, hidden within the heatwave, crashed down and shattered the giant beast's skeletal tail with a single blow.

A violent roar echoed throughout the city, the sound mixed with pain, giving Selimoni outside the barrier a strong sense of confidence. At this moment, she had no time to wonder why the Seven Luminaries Apostle's mark was emanating from behind her. Oro, the number one warrior of the Polar Snowfield, arrived on the battlefield, and his powerful attack put considerable pressure on her.

"Ha, how interesting! A deposed king, a headless archbishop, you've certainly collected quite a few interesting dead people."

The girl looked at the wounds on the skeletal beast with heartache in her eyes. These reckless invaders had undoubtedly angered the Twin Demon Gods.

"Haron, Honey, stop! Look at yourselves now! Is this really what you wanted? Making a deal with the devil will only lead to losing everything!"

The fallen Archbishop of Rainbow removed his cloak, revealing his aged and emaciated face. The old man's eyes were pale and lifeless, and his expression was full of grief. He still remembered that when the two siblings were born, he personally performed the elemental baptism for the twins, and it was they who led Archbishop Barbor to his doom step by step.

Honey's eyes wavered, showing some hesitation, but it was quickly overwhelmed by a cold will. She lost control of her body, and as the giant beast roared and trembled, a massive amount of demonic runes were inscribed on her skeletal body. The aura of the Cherry Blossom Twins continued to rise. Serantia's judgment was somewhat wrong; the White Devil's recovery progress far exceeded that of Julia and Meiruo. The good news was that it was still not as complete as the Necrotic Demon God.

The Bone Demon opened its gigantic maw, its massive head swung back, sending Emperor William flying. Harlong's resentful voice rang out, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Godfather. Then I beg you to die once more for our great cause!"

"madness!"

The fierce battle erupted again, and the howling Gluttonous Saint joined the attack, making the situation somewhat chaotic for a moment. Serantia was filled with doubt and uncertainty, and Tess was also stunned. She stared at the Ghost Rider holding the dragon spear, opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't bring herself to ask. She was afraid of the truth, which was not the outcome anyone wanted to see.

854. The Fourth White Demon God

King Huangyan was furious, but Roland hesitated to make a move, as if he was wary of something. He glanced back at the swaying rainbow coffin, and even the lifeless body could feel a deep chill.

"The Snow Witch has arrived."

"Tsk, I'll find out what you're up to after I've killed them!"

This also reminded the Abyss Demon King that he had no time to worry about anything else. Serantia snorted coldly, grasped a ray of gangrene that formed a spear, and her chest radiated an evil black light. Her divine power was fully released, and the surging power tore apart the girl's graceful body. A huge black shadow transformed into the demon god's true form, a deformed monster covered in electric thorns like a hedgehog.

The entire palace crumbled and collapsed under the impact of William the Great's rock pulse. Elemental light shone across the sky with Archbishop Barbor's evil spirit magic, but this was still not enough to contend with the Twin Demon Gods. The megalithic city walls rose from the ground only to be pierced by the bone spikes under the feet of the giant beast Haron. The bone forest was everywhere and there was no place to stand. At this moment, the vengeful power of the Necrotic Demon God also intervened in the battlefield, and black death lines ravaged the land of bones like maggots.

The resurgence of the Bone Twins is clearly not as complete as that of Serantia. Otherwise, it would have been the White Demon God who came to the Great Tomb of Abyss today. Whether it was power or soul, the Cherry Orange King was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position. Large pieces of the bone shield on Haron's body peeled off, and he roared in resentment, showing his weakness. This was a humiliation that Hani could not tolerate.

"Haaaaaaah!"

A bloody maw split open from the girl's head, emitting a piercing shriek. The ear-piercing sound waves caused the demon's curse to spread widely, and even the rainbow coffin trembled, revealing fine cracks.

The gangrenous, deformed creature screamed in agony, as if struck by a heavy blow. The shaken Serantia broke free from the demonic form and was forced to revert to her demonic state. She kept patting her head, trying to regain her senses, as mental strength had never been her forte.

Strangely, Emperor William the Great and Archbishop Barbour seemed unaffected by the curse. Although their movements were somewhat sluggish, they only lost focus for a moment before instantly regaining control of their bodies.

"It's no use. We are the guardians of another world. You have no choice but to join us."

The sinister echoes of the demon sovereign resounded from afar. Unlike the living, evil spirits are not bound by truth; their soul contracts are controlled by the Grim Reaper, and no one can shake them.

"He's nothing but a pathetic piece of trash who was defeated once!"

Honey plunged her fingers into her chest, tearing open her ribs to reveal her vibrant, beating heart. She unleashed a powerful storm of white bones, attempting to further activate divine authority and unleash a soul curse. Just then, the dim moonlight shone into the bone forest.
