Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1184   It’s My Win! [Part 4]

With a single punch from C2, the Giant Black Statue staggered backward.

With another punch, it was sent flying for thousands of meters, alongside the Demigod that stood on its shoulder.

A different creature was supposed to be born from the Bone Cauldron that Eiko had summoned.

With ten Demigod Cores, a powerful monster was guaranteed to appear.

But things changed when Nyarlathotep decided to seek out Eiko in order to steal the Golden Anchor from her hands.

Unfortunately for the Outer God, its plans were ruined when the Demigods and Calamity-Ranked Monsters of the sea all rose up to the surface and fought against it and the Abyssal Lords that it had brought along to hunt Eiko down.

Ten of those Abyssal Lords died in that skirmish before the rest fled toward the portal in order to escape.

Even Nyarlathotep's clone failed to escape that encounter and was vaporized by Poseidon's powerful beam attack.

The Bone Cauldron then grabbed the bodies of the ten Abyssal Lords, who still had their Demigod Cores.

This development changed the nature of the creature it was forming, resulting in the birth of the strongest Demigod that the world had ever seen.

Regardless of what the Giant Black Statue did, it was unable to compete with C2's raw strength and power.

With each clash, parts of its body were destroyed, making it look extremely pitiful.

The darkness in Nyarlathotep's face disappeared when he discovered something interesting within the Giant, who had a squid-like face.

'Hahaha! What a stroke of luck!' Nyarlathotep rejoiced after confirming that its guess was correct. Earlier, it had planned on escaping, but after confirming the composition of the Giant Monster was similar to, only being slightly inferior in strength when compared to Nyarlathotep's true body in the Abyss, an idea popped inside its head.

Many thought that the Outer God's true body was in Elysium, but in truth, it was still in the Abyss.

Nyarlathotep was simply too strong to descend into Elysium, so it had to divide off a portion of its true body and lower its rank to the peak of the Demigod Rank.

To further decrease its strength, allowing it to pass through the fabric of time and space, it split into clones, greatly reducing the pressure that it would receive the moment it stepped into the world of Elysium.

The Outer God's body back in the Abyss was covered by a fleshy cocoon, allowing it to enter a state of hibernation, while its consciousness controlled its body and the clones it had created.

This was the reason why Daniel was able to communicate with Nyarlathotep's consciousness even though the connection between the worlds had been cut off from each other.

The moment C2 destroyed the Giant Black Statue, it immediately lunged toward the Giant Monster and transformed into a black slime.

Nyarlathotep then forcefully entered C2's mouth, catching the Demigod by surprise.

A moment later, it started to hold its head as if it was suffering from a painful headache.

Black tentacles emerged from its body and lashed out to everything around it.

"Retreat!" King Azza ordered with a grim expression on his face. "Get as far away as you can now!"

Poseidon also backed away because it was feeling that something had gone terribly wrong with its comrade who had just defeated the Giant Black Statue, who now lay on the ground in pieces.

Eiko looked at her newest subordinate with a frown on her face.

She also had a very bad feeling as C2 roared, making the sky and the land tremble due to its intensity.

A minute later, the roaring stopped and was replaced by laughter.

"Hahahaha!" C2 laughed. "Good! This body is perfect! Thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift."

The Giant Monster with a squid-like face then raised his hand, sending countless black tentacles flying toward Poseidon.

Eiko, who realized that C2 had been taken over by Nyarlathotep, shouted a command.

"Stop!" Eiko ordered.

The tentacles that were about to attack Poseidon froze mid-air, stopping its attack completely.

Seeing this, Nyarlathotep frowned.

'It seems that this body is still following her on an instinctual level,' Nyarlathotep mused. It had just fused with C2's body, so it was understandable that it was still not fully under its control.

This meant that staying wasn't an option since Eiko would still be able to control the vessel that it was currently possessing.

'No matter. This wasn't part of the original plan anyway,' the Demigod then retracted its tentacles and laughed a second time.

"Members of the Alliance, it was a pleasure toying with all of you," Nyarlathotep said. "However, even if this gift that I have humbly received hadn't arrived, the ending would still have been the same.

"While all of you here thought that you were waging the last battle to rid your world from my influence, I can only say that all of you have been wrong this entire time."

Another laugh escaped Nyarlathotep's face as he glanced at the two Dragon Kings, who were the leaders of the Alliance. "This whole battle was just a big distraction, acting as a smokescreen to prevent you from realizing my real goal in this world. It was never my goal to fight an all-out battle with all of you. No. This is just a farce that all of you decided to believe."

Nyarlathotep then raised his hand, and the millions of golden abominations that were still alive on the battlefield all rose up and flew toward the Giant Monster with a squid-like face.

"I will now leave for the true battlefield that has been waiting for me," Nyarlathotep sneered. "All of you can despair knowing that no matter what you do, you will be unable to arrive in time to do anything."

After saying those words, Nyarlathotep disappeared, alongside his minions, leaving the Abyssal Lords and the Demigods behind.

Espoir Frieden…

The sky darkened, turning the day into night.

A giant black dome encapsulated the entirety of the Elven Kingdom, as well as the refugees that had gathered to seek shelter from the Abyss.

Hereswith's eyes widened in shock after sensing that a blockade had been erected around the Elven Kingdom, cutting off her connection with everyone outside of its range.

Suddenly, a giant that was over a hundred fifty meters tall appeared outside the Kingdom of the High-Elves.

Nyarlathotep then raised its hand, summoning the Black Scales and activating its powers.

A metallic ring spread in the surroundings, making those who heard it feel their bodies weaken.

Hereswith's face paled when she noticed that her Rank, which was a peak Demigod, dropped to that of a Peak Calamity Rank Monster.

The High-Elven King's rank, which was a Supreme, also fell to that of a Saint, shocking him greatly.

It was not only the two of them.

Everyone, inside the black dome that Nyarlathotep had created had their ranks decrease by one whole realm, making them shudder.

"Did you really believe that I had forgotten about the World Tree?" Nyarlathotep asked in a teasing tone. "As long as it is destroyed, this entire world's strength will decrease drastically, making everyone drop a realm, just like what is happening to all of you."

The Outer God then chuckled as it waved its hand.

Countless Golden Abominations appeared around him, who all shifted their attention towards the Elven Kingdom, which was said to have the strongest defense force protecting its territory.

Now, those defenders had been stripped of the strength that allowed them to protect their Domain and, with it, a tide of Golden Abominations charged towards the city with a maddened glint in their countless eyes.

(E/N: How dare you end it here?)
