Unfortunately, while the path of purifying the shadows enhanced His potential, it also limited the versatility of His abilities.

For example, if He had some understanding of the characteristics of destiny, He could have foreseen certain scenes, rather than just a simple premonition brought about by His status, as it is now.

Because things weren't going well, He wasn't in such a hurry to take action.

The more they take action, the more weaknesses they reveal.

It's better to wait and see.

At least for now, His gains are already considerable.

Atata thought this to himself, and then some of his gaze fell on his own territory.

Because He had swallowed an entire shadow plane, He had great control over His own layer.

All the forces that had infiltrated from other places were eliminated by Him.

Many of the high-ranking demons under his command grew naturally from this level. Although they all had their own agendas, they didn't have much information—Atata restricted their development in other planes and levels, which also limited the flow of advanced knowledge to some extent.

Most of them haven't even figured out how to become a true demon lord.

Simply killing the demon lord might not be enough to withstand the multiple domain names.

They also had little idea of ​​the weaknesses in Atata's power.

Therefore, even if they were to take action, it would only be suicide.

"On the other hand..." Atata had almost come to his senses by now; Alalos might not be dead after all.

By personally shredding Alaros's soul, Atata was momentarily trapped in a fixed mindset.

However, He had already emerged from that state in a short while.

"So my ominous premonition comes from Alalos?" Atata attached his spirit to the shadows, constantly shifting and searching for Alalos's traces.

Since the other party is not dead, they must still be hiding somewhere on the battlefield, waiting to come out and take advantage of the situation after both sides have suffered heavy losses.

Perhaps this time, Alalos will not only avoid losing territory, but will also be able to make a fortune from it.

I just don't know where His strategy of faking his death first and then inciting other enemies to attack each other came from; it's too risky.

At the same time, it has a high demand for souls, which is inconsistent with Alaros's previous style of doing things.

Otherwise, He might not have been so easily deceived.

Hidden in the shadows, the twin demons Alallos felt a sharp pain in their souls, with a lump of flesh writhing on it, radiating holy light.

His own understanding of the 'concept' of twins was naturally insufficient to generate a second soul.

However, He was inspired by the previous incident where the angel Nai faked his death to provoke a battle between Him and the saints, and thus devised this scheme.

The reversed flesh and blood obtained from the saint was very useful.

This gave me more room for error.

By reversing the saint's flesh and blood, it was given the function of replenishing the soul to a certain extent.

Saint's flesh and blood... What a treasure!

After all, a saint possesses a saintly power derived from the deterioration of divine power. This saintly power is combined with an individual's characteristics to form the various essential qualities of a saint.

In the process of using the flesh and blood of the saints, Alalos borrowed taboos such as "fusion" and "cannibalism".

That holy power also underwent a change, no longer combining with that saint, but with the twins of Alalos, thus giving birth to this flesh and soul.

“But it was all worth it!” Alalos quietly observed the situation, and everything was proceeding mostly as He had predicted.

Whether it's the Clown King or the Black Prison Lord, there are other forces plotting to seize their positions as lords.

All he needs to do is die, and the situation will turn in his favor.

Unfortunately, Atata, the Shadow Lord, has managed his territory too well. Although there are many who covet his position, there are currently virtually no people qualified to take it.

In other words, even if His plan succeeds, it would be good enough if He could recoup the losses from the Clown King and the Black Prison Lord.

Ultimately, Atata will still be the beneficiary.

"Hmm?" But the next moment, Alaros noticed something was wrong.

A group of seven demons were seen advancing towards the area where Atata was instead of retreating.

Of these seven demons, three are officially classified demons with extremely high values. The remaining four are high-ranking demons, but even the one with the highest value only reaches nine hundred.

Judging from the badges on their bodies, they are basically demons under the command of the Black Prison Lord.

With such strength, instead of hiding in a corner and waiting for things to change, or like those other high-level demons, targeting the Black Prison Master.

They actually headed towards Atata, a place even He wasn't confident about?

Was it a moment of despair that made him act rashly?

The Golden Seeds behind the seven Arbiters were also puzzled, looking at Jeff who had given the order.

The best course of action right now is to continue waiting.

By the time the twin demons appeared, the enemy was already badly injured.

If they seize the opportunity, they have every chance to corner the Twin Demons.

Perhaps one of the arbiters under control could grasp the essentials and seize the lord's position?

But why are we rushing towards the Shadow Lord now?

Are we just sending ourselves to our deaths?!

Chapter 441 Church Secrets

"No need to say more, this involves church secrets. I swear by my own faith that everything I have decided is based on the current situation and is the choice that is most beneficial to the church!" Jeff said earnestly.

Although he was a paladin, having reached this level and used various mystical arts imbued with faith for many years, his body had long since condensed characteristics related to holiness, and his soul had changed accordingly.

He swore an oath of faith, and if he broke it, Jeff would be finished.

So everyone fell silent after Jeff made his vow.

As the only one with top power among these people, Jeff is likely to know some special secrets, which is normal. At this time, it is also normal for him to make decisions in a position of power as long as he gives a 'reason'.

At this moment, the entire dimensional battlefield was in complete chaos.

Clown King is approached by Merkava, who is supported by the Church of the Moon, and the Church of the Moon's forces are secretly closing in.

The Black Prison Lord was approached by several high-ranking demons under his command.

Alallos remained hidden in the shadows, while his group of Disciplined Church members charged toward the Shadow Lord Atata.

There are also some high-ranking demons lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to suddenly pounce and bite someone.

At this point, no one can predict the outcome of this interdimensional war.

Atata naturally saw the group of demons charging towards him.

His expression was not relaxed, because of an ominous premonition; at this moment, he felt that everything unusual was haunted by ghosts.

It has been almost a thousand years since I became a demon lord.

He fell into the abyss when the earth was ravaged, then quickly seized the position of lord, and then plotted for hundreds of years to sink a shadow plane, and now several hundred years have passed.

What has enabled them to maintain their position for so long? It is their caution.

There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

He has indeed gained a great advantage now, but so what?

When He was on Earth, He witnessed the fall of the mythical race.

That mythical being was even more powerful than Him now, but what happened in the end? He was still killed, his enormous body was dismembered, and even now, some of his bones are probably still being held by people.

Therefore, from then on, He became accustomed to hiding in the shadows and liked to be in the shadows.

It's too dangerous under the spotlight.

Atata was thinking when several dark figures emerged from the shadows and moved along with them, appearing in front of the Arbitrators team in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Arbiter squad has four 'high-level demons'. It's not that they are an unusual number or that they lack resources, but rather that it's a matter of compatibility.

The Arbiter is in a three-in-one state. If it is just an ordinary demon, even if it survives the final blood battle, it can basically obtain a large number of points.

The problem is that for the three elements to be combined, they all need to resonate with each other in order to accept the number.

Therefore, even the demon with the highest value only has a little over nine hundred, which is still a bit short of the extreme value.

If he can make the resonance of the three elements perfectly harmonious, then he can push it to the extreme value of 1,200 for a high-level demon.

But now it's much worse.

However, these numbers do not necessarily mean that their combat strength is weak.

Behind them were ten Gold-level powerhouses. Jeff, who had been in the top position of power in the Discipline Church for so long, was only half a step stronger than the Pope, so he naturally had all sorts of trump cards.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare come to the abyss to fight the demon lord and try to gain fame after their death.

Before the black shadows summoned by Atata could even get close, the leader of the Arbiters had already made his move.

Originally, a common fire demon was sealed inside its body.

These demons wield the power of fire and are considered a relatively common type of demon, though their spells and special abilities are not particularly strong.

However, the type of demon only represents its average strength.

There have even been instances in the abyss where demonic worms have been stuck in their rank and never advanced, thus becoming lords in their worm form.

The same is true of this fire demon at this moment.

As one advances to a higher level, the combination of these three elements results in an extraordinary combination of abilities and characteristics.

Its operator was a middle-aged golden-type priest who had completed the light transformation. His original value was about 600, but now, perhaps due to the three-in-one combination, his value was passively increased by several dozen points during the blood battle, bringing it close to 700.

His specialty is fire magic.

Flames coalesced, transforming into tangible fire weapons.

These flame weapons were covered with a large number of densely packed characters.

As soon as the Fire Demon thought arose, those flame weapons burst forth.

Each of the flame weapons seemed to possess extremely powerful magic; the moment they were launched, terrifying heat waves mixed with light and radiated outwards.

The surrounding shadows seemed to have been largely dispelled in an instant.

Before a shadowy monster could get close, it was hit by a fire weapon.

At the moment of impact, a large amount of light and heat is released.

Conversely, when the shadow monster tried to escape, it was held in place by a peculiar suction force.

Then, the body, riddled with holes, could not escape the suction force and was quickly absorbed into the sword, which, after releasing heat and light, seemed to be nothing more than a transparent frame.

The same applies to the other shadow monsters.

After the Fire Demon condensed its weapons and launched them in a burst, only a few weapons that seemed to be made of black mist and shadow remained stuck in the shadows.

Atata pushed the flow of the shadow vortex, trying to pull the shadow weapons into the shadow space.

However, they discovered that no matter how simple the flow of shadows was, it was difficult to interfere with those weapons.

"A sealing ability?" Atata immediately became alert.

While fire and light-type abilities have a certain restraining effect on Him, at this level, the difference between light and shadow is actually a matter of numerical values.

He controls countless shadows, so there's basically no need to worry about this force that clashes with and cancels out other forces, yet also creates and destroys each other.

However, this kind of sealing ability is different. Often it only seeks out the core, and then uses structural power to strip away the influence of other values, or even uses its own massive value to imprison itself.

Sealing abilities are among the abilities with the highest multiplier.

Once it truly takes effect, it can completely seal away beings dozens of times stronger than itself.

Theoretically, the multiplier could even be infinitely high.

Behind the adjudicator, Nemus also watched all of this carefully.

It must be said that in terms of numerical values ​​and characteristics alone, these members of the Discipline Church may not be as good as these demons, but in terms of technology, they are by no means weak, and in fact, they have many things that Nemus can learn from them.

Under the resonance of the three parties, they integrated their sealing techniques into the process of flame annihilation.

Putting aside the idea itself, the fact that it could succeed is already outrageous.
