Chapter 233: Demigod Walking on Earth
“Hiss, hiss, hiss——”

The terrifying giant insect that looked like a spider and a cockroach let out a sharp cry.

The insect transformed by the Devouring Witch was shaking its slender amputated limbs like crazy, and was about to rush towards where Deya and Lamia were.

However, what it faces is the storm of death and the bell of silence.

Ever since he obtained half of the power of the Silent Chanter from the Eternal Lady, as well as that god's knowledge of death.

The power that Deya possesses now has exceeded the scope of ordinary rings.

On the surface, he is just an eighth-ring wizard, but he possesses some abilities of a god.

This so-called number of rings is more like the basic ability he possesses in order to use this part of divine power.

In the past, when he was at the seventh ring of Deya, the gap between his abilities and those of the gods was too great, so he was unable to use this part of his power.

But when he reached the eighth ring, when his cognition was infinitely close to the realm of divinity, Deya was able to use the ability of the Silent Chanter.

Although this is only usage and not mastery, in the material world, it is already powerful beyond the comprehension of mortals.

The current Deya can be said to be the same as Sallyste, similar to a demigod, and their power cannot be described by a more accurate number of rings.

A storm of death blew up, blocking the giant insect's path.

At the same time, there was a silent bell ringing in the void. The bell sound seemed to bring death to all things, and even time stopped.

The huge insect struggled, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not escape the confinement of the death storm.

Its amputated body was like metal stained with rust, slowly beginning to dry up.

Then, under Deya's gaze, the giant insect transformed from the devouring witch went completely crazy.

It suddenly opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, sucked hard, and actually sucked the entire storm of death into its body.

The Devouring Witch actually tried to use her abilities as a witch to devour all the power of the God of Death!
The blowing wind of death slowly calmed down, as if the devouring witch had really succeeded.

The giant spider transformed by the witch took two steps forward, and then it seemed to be sick. Its sharp amputated tentacles began to twist and crack, and smelly blood sprayed out from the broken limbs.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss——”

The witch made the sound of an insect again. The fear of death suppressed the ferocity in its heart, and the huge insect was finally scared.

It turned around and wanted to escape, but Deya didn't give it a chance to escape. He sneered and said, "Still want to escape? Silent death is your final destination!"

A huge, skeleton-like shadow slowly emerged on Deya's body.

The phantom turned from virtual to real and became a huge undead creature with a skeleton.

The horrifying skeleton suddenly stretched out its hand, and five fingers that were even bigger than the bug suddenly pressed down, pressing the bug into its palm.

Immediately afterwards, the huge hand grabbed the spider with force and held it in its palm.

The pale flame burned rapidly, and the true meaning of death poured into the body of the strange insect.

The spider in the skeleton's palm began to struggle violently because of the pain and fear of death, making a hissing sound again.

But under the flames of death, the insect's struggle to survive was meaningless. Slowly its body began to dry up and its blood turned into steam and evaporated.

Its amputated body seemed to be burnt, and eventually turned into a pool of mud in the hands of the giant skeleton.

This witch with the strength of nine rings fell so easily.

Under the power of the Great Witch, the source of all witches, the power of the Devouring Witch could not be exerted. The complete restraint made her no match for Lamia.

With no other options, she abandoned her powers as a witch and instead transformed herself into a terrifying insect, using the abilities of the Mother of All Creatures.

However, even so, facing Deya, who possessed the ability of the Silent Chanter and was almost a demigod, her power was useless and she eventually turned into a pool of rotten mud.

Seeing the insect corpse that was completely dead and only a pool of mud remained, Lamia looked dazed.

In order to avenge her parents, she has been enduring humiliation and trying desperately to increase her strength.

After all, the enemy she has to face possesses the strength of nine rings, and it is extremely difficult to kill such a witch.

But who would have thought that things would always develop in unexpected ways.

This nine-ring witch died so easily, so simply that it made people wonder if it was an illusion or a dream.

Lamia's dazed look quickly calmed down. This was not an illusion, nor was it a dream.

The leader of the witch cult, the Nine-Ring Devouring Witch, fell just so easily.

Her fall was not simple, it was just because she and Deya mastered extraordinary power, which came from the gods and the power of the former great witch.

Deya took back the huge skeleton.

Although he cannot maintain the posture of the Silent Chanter all the time now, but in a one-on-one situation, as long as the gods do not come in person, no one in this material world can be his opponent.

The current Deya is actually equivalent to a half-god walking on the earth.

“Are you going to keep this building or destroy it completely?”

Deya asked Lamia beside him.

If Lamia chooses to destroy it, Deya will not hesitate to use high-level spells to completely destroy it.

Lamia pondered for a moment and said, "Initially, this was just a place for witches to discuss things and exchange information with each other.

It was the Devouring Witch who occupied this place and established the Witch Cult, and now it has simply returned to its original form.

Over the past thousand years, the Devouring Witch has been hunting other witches, but witches will not die out. As long as the will of the Great Witch remains, the witches will continue to pass on.

Perhaps it won't be long before this place will resume its former function as a place for witches to communicate."

Lamia looked at the underground palace and said softly, "...My parents' death has nothing to do with this palace. I won't vent my anger on a palace built with the power and wisdom of witches."

Upon hearing this, Deya said, "Then leave it here. It is hidden enough here. I will combine it with the underground cave I built and continue to expand it into a complex demiplane."

In Deya's opinion, the only thing missing from this witch's underground palace is the maze-like twists and turns of caves.

It just so happened that the basic cemetery that he had built in the Limerick Mountains could provide a complex outer corridor. Combining the two together formed an extremely complex and secretive secret base.

The reason why he asked Lamia was that if Lamia hated this place, he would destroy it directly and not leave any shadow for Lamia.

In addition to the fact that Lamia's parents were killed by the Witch Cult, it was also because Lamia was here and was abused by the Witch Cult for several years. She must hate this place very much.

But since Lamia remained rational, Deya let it go.

“The Devouring Witch said that the reason she chose to eat all the witches was to prevent the resurrection of the Great Witch and to prevent her from destroying the world.

Lamia, do you think this is just an excuse for her behavior, or does she really believe it?"

In the entire palace of the Witch Cult, all living creatures had been completely killed by Deya and Lamia.

It can be said that the Witch Cult has been destroyed.

Although not all witches were killed, there must be some witches who were not in the cult headquarters but were active outside.

However, without the Devouring Witch, who was the most important entity, those witches had even lost the possibility of promotion, and were no longer a concern.

These witches completely utilize the lives of witches and the abilities of devouring witches as a way to advance themselves.

"What do you think, Deya?"

Lamia asked back softly.

Deya groaned for a moment and said, “I don’t know much about this Devouring Witch, but from the brief contact just now, she doesn’t seem like someone who would feel guilty about killing a witch.

Such a person would never give herself an excuse to kill, which means that she most likely really believes that she is preventing the Great Witch from resurrecting and saving the world."

Lamia whispered, "You mean to say that the Devouring Witch was actually being used, and she was just a tool for others."

Deya nodded and said, “Yes, that’s what I think, and it’s obvious who is using her.

Since she can transform into the form of the Mother of All Creatures, it is undoubtedly the Church of the Mother of All Creatures that is using her.

I even suspect that the reason why the Devouring Witch was able to destroy all other witches in one fell swoop was because of the help of the Church of the Mother of All Beings.

Otherwise, with the strength of the witches back then, it would be difficult for her to achieve this alone, no matter how much deception she used.

She was bewitched by the Church of the Mother of All Witches and believed that destroying other witches was the right choice, but after that, she might have been consumed by her own desires and became what she is now.

The Church of the Mother of All Creatures really plays a good game of chess. There are very few records about this church in history, as if this church has always been low-key and has never done anything.

But now it seems that the entire history of the world is under the control of this church, or in other words, under the control of that god, who is the culprit of everything. "

Deya raised his eyes and looked towards the distant north, his eyes deep as he said, "In this war between the Narpo Empire and the northern orcs, I'm afraid the enemy of the Narpo Empire is not the orcs at all, but the Mother Church of All Living Things!

If my guess is correct, all the alien races in the entire north except humans have long been integrated by the Mother of All Living Things.

This is the continuation of the war that the human race fought for survival 5000 years ago. Whether humans can truly become the masters of this material world does not depend on the war 5000 years ago, but on now!"

Lamia asked in her cold voice, "What should we do now, Deya."

"How to do it? It's simple. We can't escape this war. We are also one of the parties involved. The only thing we can do is to join it and then win the final victory!"

Deya said calmly: "... Let's go, Lamia. This war may not last too long. Its victory or defeat may only take a moment."

……

In the north of Okanal continent, on the vast cold sea.

The Empire's Northern Fleet gathered here, sailing through the sea where ice blocks can occasionally be seen floating on the surface.

On the flagship of the Northern Fleet, the Empire's Navy Minister served respectfully and cautiously.

Ishamara, who was called the 'Bloody Princess' by the people of the empire, stood in the captain's room in a rage, gazing at the vast ocean.

But if it was just this princess, it wouldn't have made the Empire's Navy Minister so timid, because standing next to the princess was a middle-aged man with a dragon tail behind him and wearing a gorgeous wizard robe.

The man looked very scholarly, but just by standing there, his strong majesty made people dare not look directly at him.

“Ancestor, we will soon reach the west coast of the orc kingdom.

The orc kingdom is located in the north of the continent. It has a very cold climate and very little food production. They attach great importance to fisheries. As long as we can block the fishery, the orcs' food production will be greatly reduced.

With the orcs' accumulated food, even if we just surround them without attacking and waste time with them here, we can still achieve ultimate victory.

I have been on adventures in the North and have researched its geography, so I am familiar with it.”

Even though she was called the 'Bloody Princess' and had an arrogant personality, Ishamara did not dare to do anything out of line when facing her ancestor.

The Narbo Empire has always had a custom of princesses and princes going on adventures to the north.

Ordinary people believed that this was a way for the princes and princesses to demonstrate their strength and ability, and to inform His Majesty the Emperor that they were capable of inheriting the empire.

In fact, the royal family of the Narbo Empire did have this intention, but at the same time, such traditional customs also allowed the princes and princesses to conduct geographical surveys in the north.

In fact, the entire empire has long been eyeing the orcs, looking for opportunities to start a war at any time.

Raymond said in a gentle tone: "Yes, so the Orc Kingdom will not allow us to destroy their fisheries like this. Someone will definitely come to stop us."

Ishamara whispered, "The orcs don't have a navy at all. The only ones who can stop us are the evil dragons, and they are what our ancestors are waiting for!"

Raymond smiled but said nothing.

Ishamara frowned again and asked, “Ancestor, is it really a good idea to leave the front battlefield to the Fire of Order and the Church of Chaos Will?

Will they unite with other Orthodox churches and betray the Empire?"

Raymond smiled and said, “No, their interests are completely consistent with the Empire. Whether they are gods or humans, they only act for their own interests.

The Fire of Order and the Will of Chaos cannot help other gods who are hostile to us, because doing so may even lead to their exile.

They can only help us win. Only in this way can their interests be guaranteed, and they can even exile other gods to gain more believers and have the opportunity to go further. "

Raymond said: "Be prepared, let everyone pay attention, those evil dragons may appear at any time!"
