"Activate the spell array and act according to the plan... no matter what happens during my fight with them, the Spell Array must be constantly activated at all costs."
Leylin transmitted into Tiff's and Isabel's minds; both of them were aware of their roles and nodded solemnly as they went to carry out his orders. They were given one of the most dangerous tasks, but if it succeeded, then the gains would be tremendous.
Done with that, he raised his head and sized up what would be the most powerful opponents he'd faced since his arrival in the World of Gods.
'Once I eliminate them, the entire Debanks Empire will fall into my hands…'
Leylin's eyes reddened as the Nightmare Eye appeared on his forehead. Splendid golden rays lit up his body, seemingly on the verge of burning up. The powerful aura caused a few opposing totem spirits to change their expressions.
"Intruder, undo this sickness! I, the founding emperor of the Sakartes Empire, the Sun God and King of All Kings, Controller of All Flames, Mountains and Rivers, Akaban, can grant you a dignified death if you comply!"
The Demigod on the war chariot exclaimed in his tongue, holding onto the reins of the blazing horse. Since Demigods could comprehend all languages and writings, there wasn't an issue with communication.
'Hm? His mind isn't corroded by the Faith of the natives?'
Leylin was slightly surprised because the Demigod didn't show any signs of corrosion by Faith.
'Is it because he was a native soul who merged with the faith of the empire, becoming a valiant soul after death?'
Akaban was obviously very wise in strengthening his domain, but he was still unable to become a true god. It showed how tedious this path was.
The domains of the sun and moon could actually contend against greater gods, but Akaban still wasn't satisfied with them. He wanted to spread over into other roles, becoming an overlord.
Pitifully, the meager bit of Faith, the natives could provide wasn't enough to do so. It left him stuck as a demigod.
Had Akaban chosen Domains related to the Natives or Savagery, he might long since have become a True God. If that were the case, Leylin would have had nothing to do with Debanks Island.
"What can a mere divine being of another race, someone who isn't even a Demigod, do to resist attacks from all sides?"
Given that he was a founding Emperor, there were no such words as modesty or consideration in Akaban's vocabulary. Yet, Leylin just grinned upon hearing this, because the arrogance of these idiots would be their doom and his benefit.
With a wave of his hands, the Double-Headed Lion and Golden Scorpion surrounded Leylin, ready to attack at any moment. Akaban himself rode the chariot to roam the battlefield, bundles of golden flames splashing everywhere and forming a resplendent scene in the night.
The blazing horse, itself a Demigod, whinnied, and a shadow of the sun rose up behind Akaban. The imposing aura curbed much of Leylin's energy, and Akaban prepared to deal Leylin the final blow.
"Surrender. You will lose in a mere contest between domains."
Akaban's voice echoed throughout the battlefield. He was circling Leylin leisurely, aside from the two Demigods in combat. He had the valiant spirit of an emperor, and before becoming a Demigod, he had clearly been a tactician.
Just as he was about to attack Leylin, suddenly, a Spell Array was activated around the entire Serpent City, gathering the Faith of the worship of the Heavenly Serpent God Nāga as fuel and shined in the bright light.
Instantly the light started surrounding Leylin and four Demigods in a pyramid shape, creating the Pyramid of Light Spell Array. As the Pyramid of Light was established, the four Demigods could feel that something was draining their powers.
"Wretched sinner! What have you done?! Die!"
This was his trump card, the ultimate Spell Array - Pyramid of Light. Unbreakable from the inside or outside, the Lord of the Pyramid was given a tremendous boost to his power and the people captured in the Pyramid would be slowly drained to death.
Leylin waved his scepter as enormous flames burst out of his body, attacking the four Demigods like a raging tsunami.
With them being weakened even further by the Pyramid of Light and Leylin's Spell being, on the other hand, strengthened by it by a great degree, all four of them instantly went to the defensive.
"Just as I said... you are stupid, arrogant and conceited... just walking straight into my trap... pathetic..."
The four Demigods heard his mocking voice and they were instantly enraged, but they were using their entire force to defend against the flames that were eating their Divine Power and as they were suppressed by the Pyramid of Light, their situation didn't look very good.
While the Demigods were busy with the flames, Leylin activated another part of the Pyramid of Light, as the Divine Power, Energy and everything that was being absorbed by the Pyramid of Light from the worshippers and four Demigods was in a split of a second transferred to him.
Outside, high above the Pyramid of Light that was right now the epicenter of attention of every single living being, the skies quickly darkened, and the stars and silver moon quickly hid their luster.
"The descent of World Origin Force… This is the appointment of a demigod!"
Akaban and the other three Demigods had experienced this once before and naturally would not get this wrong.
Just as he was about to do all he could to interrupt the process, even at the cost of being burned by the flames, an absolute and powerful strength burst forth. Traces of the conscience of the World Will sent him and the three other demigods flying.
The gods truly were the darlings of the world, and when they advanced, they naturally caught the attention of the World Origin Force. The isolating energy that came was not something the four Demigods could deal with.
The World Origin Force that had come roaring in would, under normal circumstances, attract the attention of a few powerful Gods, but not today...
This was another effect of the Pyramid of Light, which was concealing the entire event and nobody would ever find out about Leylin's ascendance to Demigod Rank.
