Chapter 48-2
In the square, millions of people watched and whispered quietly. The Protagonists continued discussing strategies while being fully alert to any changes. As time passed, a few heirs to the ducal titles became more anxious.
"There are about ten minutes left; it's almost over."
"Yes, in the last minute, inform the demons. Let the demon army move first, draw enough attention, and then proceed with the blood sacrifice."
"Alright." The Villains deliberated. As the blessing ceremony was about to conclude, and their plan was about to launch, even they couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
Fifty minutes had passed. On the high platform, Su Mo absorbed a large amount of sacred energy from the Crescent Moon Goddess. The Succubus bloodline continued to absorb energy endlessly, like a bottomless pit. With such an extended period of absorption, the Succubus bloodline finally exhibited some changes. To Su Mo, these changes seemed quite peculiar the Succubus bloodline started to manifest sacred characteristics.
Currently, it was only a manifestation of features because the lineage hadn't completed its transformation.
"So, if this evolution is completed, will my Succubus bloodline become an unprecedented Sacred Succubus bloodline?" Su Mo wondered. The term "Sacred Succubus bloodline" seemed somewhat mismatched. Succubi were demons, and the Succubus bloodline belonged to demonic bloodlines. Demons and the term "Sacred" were naturally unrelated. "Sacred" belonged to the characteristics of Heavenly Realm powers.
However, Su Mo's Succubus bloodline unexpectedly began to display sacred characteristics! If this were to be revealed, even the supremely powerful entities symbolized by the Blood Moon in the Abyss might not believe it.
Did this not mean that if Su Mo's Succubus bloodline indeed completed its transformation, possessing sacred qualities, he could wield both heavenly and abyssal powers? Furthermore, these two powers would perfectly fuse together, not merely switching but genuinely merging.
Su Mo could conceal the Succubus bloodline, revealing the human lineage, as bloodline switching remained an incompatible blend of water and fire. Yet, once the Succubus bloodline acquired divine qualities, it would be a true fusion. Su Mo could then entirely wield sacred power through the Succubus bloodline, combining light and darkness within himself.
"If this comes true the Supreme God's Throne is within reach!" Su Mo, as a Demon God, saw a bright future on this path.
Though the future seemed bright, it also carried risks. Once other Demon Gods discovered Su Mo's Sacred Succubus bloodline, the covetousness from other Demon Gods might reach unprecedented levels. Likewise, Heavenly Gods might also harbor intense desires.
"If I want to ascend to the Supreme God's Throne, how could it be peaceful and uneventful?" Su Mo wasn't worried. On the contrary, he looked forward to this path.
"If this comes true, continuing like this seems a bit insufficient," Su Mo thought. This implied that despite the Crescent Moon Goddess increasing her blessings on Su Mo, the absorbed energy was still insufficient to complete the transformation of the Succubus bloodline.
Su Mo could understand why. The Crescent Moon Goddess bestowed blessings on Su Mo based on the standard of him being a human. Given the advanced nature of the Succubus bloodline, these sacred energies were still not enough.
According to Su Mo's estimation, several such blessing ceremonies might be needed to further evolve the Succubus bloodline. However, these ceremonies weren't held every year, so how long would he have to wait?
"Fortunately, you guys helped me out," Su Mo said with a hint of a smile.
The blessings from the ceremony weren't enough for Su Mo, but he had a plan. The grand actions of these Villains indirectly helped Su Mo, giving him enough confidence to extract more sacred energy from the Crescent Moon Goddess.
"Long Nail, Long Nail, I hope you perform well later," Su Mo said, looking in a specific direction. The Demon Army under the command of the Long Nail Demon God should be launching soon.
Time continued to pass. Soon, there were only a few minutes left until the end of the blessing ceremony.
"The ceremony is about to end; everyone, stay alert," the Protagonists became nervous. According to Han Yu's prophecy, once the blessing ceremony ended, the capital would plunge into chaos.
"It's almost time, just one minute left!" The Villains were also nervous. In the sky, the descending angel, like a crescent moon, still hung there, unaware of any impending danger.
"Move, everyone." At this moment, around the capital, in the magic circles used for concealment, an enormous number of demons had gathered. These demons were too numerous. The magic circles weren't particularly large, and their only function was to conceal any disturbances. If someone passed through the area covered by the magic circle, they wouldn't notice anything unusual.
For example, this magic circle filled with demons and abyssal creatures was about a hundred meters in diameter, covering an area of over ten thousand square meters. If it were humans, this area could accommodate tens of thousands of people. But demons were different because demons could fly.
Inside this magic circle, from the ground to the sky, it was densely packed with demons and abyssal creatures. The quantity had reached at least several hundred thousand. And there were multiple such magic circles around the capital.
In one of these magic circles, succubi with numerous familiar demons were quietly waiting.
Time passed slowly and now there was only one minute left before the ending of the blessing ceremony.
On the Temple Square, some citizens were still oblivious to the impending event. In a small town outside the capital, a person received a message and promptly burned a letter. As he burned it freewebnøvel.coɱ
"The time has come!"
With the burning of the letter, the demons under the command of the Long Nail Demon God roared. Immediately after in all the magic circles, the demonic aura within surged. In an instant, they shattered the almost fading magic circle.
Then, these demons flapped their wings, roared, and simultaneously charged towards the capital from multiple directions! As they moved, a strong demonic aura rose into the sky. The sky around the capital seemed to be shrouded in a layer of grayness.
"Mom, what is that?"
In a small town outside the capital, a little boy playing outside saw the changes in the sky. His mother turned to look and saw a dense swarm of demons appearing in the sky! He shouted to his mother.
"Demons, they're demons! Oh heavens, we need to get inside quickly!" The little boy's mother was terrified.
In the small town, panic ensued as everyone quickly discovered the demons. People rushed into their homes in a state of distress. However, the demons had no intention of wasting time in this small town; they headed straight for the capital. Given their speed, it wouldn't take long.
"The Divine Light Detector is showing changes such a strong demonic aura! Demonic invasion! Quick, sound the alarm!" Panic-stricken voices echoed in the headquarters of the Holy See.
"Wu wu wu wu!" Following this, piercing alarm sounds reverberated throughout the entire capital. In the sky, the angel within the crescent moon shape had revealed her form. As she looked around, she saw the intense demonic aura surrounding the capital. Her gaze turned icy, and in the next moment, she transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards a particular direction.
"What's going on? Why is the alarm sounding?"
"It's happening, it's happening! The chaos in the capital, as prophesied, is about to begin!"
"Be careful, try to stay close to the positions of the Templar Knights!"
The Protagonists, already on high alert, quickly realized that the predicted chaos in the capital was imminent. The Villains, taking advantage of the chaos, will also make their move. However, they were still unaware of what had exactly transpired.
"Haha, it has begun!"
"Success or failure hinges on this one move!"
On the high platform, several Villains looked from a distance at the confused Protagonists who had heard the capital's alarm. A strong sense of killing intent appeared in their eyes.
