Chapter 217: Overt Scheme
The demon head that emerged from the fissure was incredibly colossal, roughly half the size of the Douluo Star, and this was only its head. It was hard to imagine how massive its body would be if it were to fully emerge.
It would likely be even larger than the entire Douluo Star.
【So, so big!】
【Oh my heavens, I'd believe it even if you said it could swallow the entire Douluo Continent in one gulp.】
【So terrifying. Can City Lord Ye defeat it?】
【Why do I have such a bad feeling about this?】
A flurry of bullet comments scrolled by. The numerous audience members in the live broadcast room weren't optimistic about Ye Cheng. In people's inherent perception, big means strong! Big means good! Possessing such a colossal body, this demon could casually twitch a finger, and it would be a cataclysmic disaster for the Douluo Star!
On the Douluo Star, the remaining survivors trembled as they gazed at the monstrous face in the sky, their minds blank. They had completely lost the ability to speak.
Even the five God Kings in the real God Realm felt a sense of insignificance as they watched the colossal demon's true form in the video. Perhaps even the Father God who created the God Realm couldn't compare to this demon, which had only revealed its head.
The universe was truly vast… For the first time, the five God Kings felt like frogs in a well.
“Is this the realm above a God King?” Neptune and Sun Zhongjing muttered to themselves, gazing at the enormous face that covered the entire sky, a look of sudden realization on their faces.
Ye Cheng calmly met the gaze of the giant demon above, then suddenly spoke, “This demon is inviting me over.”
“Inviting you over?” Neptune asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Yes, the Abyss expands by fusion and devouring other worlds.” Ye Cheng nodded. “A world that has been completely ruined is worthless to a demon. At our level, if we were to engage in combat without restraint, then this entire Douluo Star System would be utterly destroyed!”
“And this Demon Lord’s objective is to have the layer of the Abyss he commands devour and fuse with the entire Douluo Continent. For this reason, in some respects, neither of us wishes for the Douluo Continent to be destroyed. So, this demon is inviting me to fight him within his Abyss.”
“This… you cannot go!”
Neptune and Sun Zhongjing’s expressions changed, and they quickly tried to stop him.
【That’s right, absolutely don’t go in!】
【That’s their territory; they’ll have a home-field advantage.】
【Even if your strength is equal, you might be suppressed on their turf. The outcome will likely be disastrous!】
【City Lord Ye, you are the last hope of this world! You absolutely cannot go in!】
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but send out bullet comments, hoping to convey their feelings even though they knew he couldn't see them.
In the video.
“I have no choice.”
Ye Cheng shook his head somewhat helplessly. “This is a true overt scheme! Unlike me, it, as a demon, won't care about the life on the Douluo Continent. Once I genuinely engage in combat with it here, even if we intentionally restrain our power, after one battle, all life on the Douluo Continent will likely perish. What meaning would there be in the world still existing if there are no people left?”
“Next, the Douluo Continent will be in your hands. If I don't return from this journey…” At this point, Ye Cheng shook his head and changed the subject. “The Silver Dragon King and I share a pact. Influenced by me, she has gradually been undergoing a transformation toward the realm above God King. Unfortunately, it requires a significant amount of time, and there isn't enough time for her to complete her transformation.
Fortunately, after my breakthrough beyond God King, my strength is no longer what it once was. Should I unfortunately perish on this journey, even if she suffers a pact backlash, it won't be too severe.”
Speaking thus, Ye Cheng turned his head, looking at the ravaged world, akin to a hell on earth. He sighed, saying, “Let me do one last thing for this world.”
The next moment.
Light, an endless golden light!
It enveloped the entire Douluo Star, as if transforming into a sun. Stimulated by this sunlight, the massive demon head sprawled at the fissure's entrance couldn't help but emit wisps of green smoke, instinctively recoiling.
The golden light covering the entire Douluo Star suddenly began to contract, eventually forming a ring-shaped object. It looked as though the Douluo Star had gained an extra planetary ring.
This planetary ring was entirely composed of flame-like golden runes, and its size perfectly encircled the Douluo Star.
However, the audience in the live broadcast room, looking at the sudden appearance of this planetary ring around the Douluo Star, couldn't shake the feeling that it looked familiar.
【This thing… it looks like a God Ring?!】
【No way, how big would a God Ring that encircles an entire world be…?】
【I remember the Ninth God Ring was only a thousand meters. This thing… it's more than a thousand meters, right?!】
【Is the difference really that enormous across one major level?】
【I think just from this one God Ring, you can tell how huge the gap is between a God King and someone above a God King.】
The numerous audience members in the live broadcast room gasped, staring dumbfounded at the God Ring in the video that encompassed the Douluo Star like a planetary ring. They finally realized just how vast the gap was between a God King and someone above a God King.
A thousand-meter God Ring compared to this God Ring, which resembled a planetary ring. The sheer visual difference in size alone clearly showed how enormous the disparity was.
In the video.
The immense planetary God Ring encircling the Douluo Star suddenly began to rotate slowly. Accompanied by ineffable, profound fluctuations, the planet, which had originally been eroded into a grayish-red by the Abyss's power, gradually lightened in color, slowly reverting to its original aquamarine hue.
At this point, the scene shifted, beginning to display the changes on the planet.
The dead gray land regained its vitality; the dark, foul-smelling sea of blood gradually became clear and transparent…
Withered trees turned to ash and dispersed. Tender green sprouts emerged from the soil and grew rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, verdant greenery appeared on the once dead and silent land.
Many humans who had been transformed into demons gradually lost their demonic features. The racial transformation, which should have been irreversible, ultimately reverted to their original forms under some invisible power.
The desolate and ruined world was rapidly regaining its vitality.
The remaining Abyss demons, skeletons, and other such entities also vanished into thin air. Deceased humans and Soul Beasts, as long as a trace of their soul remained, reformed their bodies amidst streams of golden light. They were resurrected!
This scene, which could truly be called a divine miracle, utterly electrified the audience watching the video!
【Oh my god, resurrected?!】
【Resurrecting so many people at once…】
【If this isn't a god! Then what is a god!】
【A savior!】
【What kind of realm exactly is 'above God King'?...】
【…】
Only a few minutes passed.
The Douluo Star, once barren and lifeless, appearing to have been utterly corrupted by the Abyss, had now fully recovered its original vibrant and lively appearance.
The planetary ring that encompassed the entire planet slowly faded and disappeared.
