My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 488 - 489: Demon God Abyss—Fall!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
The massive Divine Sword, gripped firmly by Gu Xing and Liu Li, had fully targeted its prey.
A freezing, marrow-piercing wave of destruction hit Yuan's core without delay.
"This... this is..."
His gaze abruptly stiffened.
A sensation buried deep from endless cycles of ruin...
Terror, once more, surged into his thoughts.
Death!
True extinction, his very being wiped clean!
The absolute end, severed brutally from the Demon Abyss's origin!
"No! I am a Demon God, eternal and undying!"
"Eternal with the Demon Abyss! How could ants possibly..."
In panic and rage, his last bellow rang out as Demon God Abyss desperately channeled his Divine Power for a final resistance.
Yet the enormous blade, wrapped in swirling disorderly light, plunged down already.
No world-shaking force, no path ripping across the cosmos.
It just sliced downward in a simple arc.
Wherever the edge swept, it didn't slice space but nullified all being.
Time, space, energy, matter...
Even Demon God Abyss's frantic cry, the moment it met the sword's path,
vanished without a trace, as if scrubbed from a canvas, dissolving into nothingness.
The dark realm of Demon God Abyss, under this blade's edge,
swiftly became see-through and ethereal, breaking down into the rawest, simplest energy.
Just a thin trace, barely noticeable, brimming with utter reluctance,
lingered near Gu Xing and the others' ears before fading entirely:
"This... impossible!"
The faint remnant sank back into endless quiet.
Demon God Abyss, the nightmare unleashing boundless disaster,
who once toppled the Dragon Emperor and cast Alternate Space under doom's veil,
met total destruction, body and soul alike.
...
Right at that instant.
Across the allied forces' front line.
The Demon Race horde, surging like a dark frenzy against the barriers,
abruptly stopped cold without any sign!
Be it demons soaring overhead, hulking ground-based Demon Race, or Totem Level Demon Kings locked in brutal clashes,
every motion ceased, held still by some unseen grip.
On their savage features, the looks of frenzy, savage hunger, and wrath froze solid.
Supplanted by profound puzzlement, disorientation, and...
a fear that spread like wildfire.
"Roar... no... Lord Yuan..."
"The Lord’s aura... dissipating..."
"Power... my power is fading!!"
"No! Impossible! Lord Demon God is eternal and undying!!"
After a short hush of stillness, uproar and anguished cries exploded!
Myriad Demon Race troops realized with dread.
The strength inside them, drawn from the Demon God, drained away at an alarming rate!
Their forms started to falter and lag without control.
Even frailer low-tier Demon Race began crumbling into dark dust from their limbs, blowing away on the breeze!
"This is..."
Wei Yuan, locked in savage combat with the colossal ape demon,
stared in shock as his savage foe halted suddenly,
then howled and crumpled to the earth, its frame visibly withering.
What’s happening?
Only Tushan Yueli, positioned at the battle's core, watching over the full scene, first recoiled at the sight.
Then she felt the crushing menace and ruinous intent of Demon God Abyss,
pulling back fast and dissolving like an ebbing surge!
Comprehension dawned on her.
The Demon God... has perished!
Gu Xing triumphed!
Grasping this truth.
For the first time, her perfectly stunning face, strained to its limit, eased into relief.
At once, her command echoed across the whole field.
"The Demon God has been slain by Lord Gu Xing, the Demon Race that depended on him have suffered a major blow!"
"Everyone, attack with all your might! Once we annihilate this Demon Race, victory will be ours!"
Tushan Yueli’s declaration acted like fire on hot oil, sparking the entire coalition ablaze!
After a momentary daze....
"We’ve won?! Lord Gu Xing has won!!"
"The Demon God is dead! The Demon God has been slain!!"
"Hahaha! These damn demons are finished! Brothers, charge!!"
"For Lord Gu Xing! For victory! All troops, advance——!!!"
Thunderous roars of triumph burst from all parts of the allied forces!
The weary fighters appeared to gain boundless vigor in that instant.
Their stares reignited with blazing battle zeal.
They hurled a total offensive at the disordered Demon Race ranks!
Like a tumbling peak!
Devoid of the Demon God’s empowering force, the Demon Race army plunged into total disarray.
They ceased being unstoppable killing tools.
Rather, they turned into frightened sheep, scattering in terror, stomping over one another, or standing ready for the kill.
The allied forces harvested the fray like snapping brittle twigs and shattering decayed timber.
Long Zhenguo observed the surge of retaliation from above, hearing the booming victory shouts.
His eyes grew nearly misty.
He gripped his fist hard, nails biting into flesh, barely holding back his feelings.
Success...
Gu Xing truly achieved it!
He felled the Demon God!
Rescued the whole realm!
...
Deep in the Demon Realm's heart.
The Demonic Qi, once dense like syrup and constantly howling and churning,
cut off from its root, thinned out and cleared up rapidly.
In the end, shifting to untainted energy, it scattered into the emptiness.
At the fight's epicenter, Gu Xing and Liu Li held their linked posture.
This blow, though it felled the Demon God successfully, had almost emptied their Divine Positions' reserves.
Yet every bit proved worthwhile.
Now, out of ten Demon Gods, one stood slain at last!
And through eliminating this Demon God, all the energy flowed toward Gu Xing.
Except...
Gu Xing chose not to seize it for himself.
Taking in this power might merely boost his Level by a single Tier at best.
But passing it to Sally,
could let Sally propel him straight through temporal gateways.
Besides.
Gu Xing's eyes shifted to the remaining Demon Gates.
Lacking Yuan’s Demonic Qi sustenance, these nearly wide-open Demon Gates started sealing shut gradually.
The Alternate Space's peril might have ended, but...
What of tomorrow?
Since Demon God Abyss managed to breach a Demon Gate into this plane,
then surely other Demon Gods could follow suit!
Remember, Demon God Abyss ranked tenth among every Demon God.
He boasted the briefest reign as a Demon God in the Demon Race.
Even after downing the tenth Demon God,
how would he fare against the prime Demon God?
Gu Xing lacked assurance.
Thus, he had to grasp every chance to grow mightier.
If feasible...
His sight returned to the Demon Gates.
He yearned more to guide a squad of Guardian Beasts right into the Demon Abyss.
To wipe out every lurking danger for good!
With that in mind, Gu Xing called forth Sally.
The top priority remained aiding Sally in reclaiming the Time Spirit Race's Divine Pattern.
Furthermore, he sought to learn...
how the Demon Abyss got sealed away at the start!
