Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

The Eighth Layer.

As soon as Aster Grant stepped in, he felt that something was off.

The concentration of Demonic Qi here far surpassed that of the Ninth Layer.

Almost ten times that of the Ninth Layer!

Aster Grant’s gaze swept around the area, and he slowly spoke:

"Since you’re all here, there’s no need to hide."

From the moment he stepped into this world, Aster felt seven distinct spiritual powers enveloping him.

Without guessing, he knew that these were the remaining seven Demon Gods.

As his words fell, the space a short distance in front of him rippled suddenly.

Soon after, seven distinct but overwhelmingly terrifying figures stepped out from the twisted spatial ripple.

Their appearance caused the Demonic Qi of the entire eighth layer to boil instantly.

Leading them was a mass of constantly writhing black Qi.

It had no fixed shape, like a perpetually extinguishing and devouring black hole.

This was the Second Demon God — The Terminus!

To its left and right were the Third Demon God Crystalblight and the Fourth Demon God Mindwrack!

Behind the three stood the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Demon Gods!

The spiritual power of the seven Demon Gods intertwined into an invisible giant net, firmly locking onto Aster Grant and his group.

"Human..."

The voice of The Terminus was filled with emptiness, indifference, and directly impacted the soul.

"You’ve trespassed onto forbidden grounds, disturbing eternal slumber."

"Your existence, your power, along with everyone beside you... will vanish here into nothingness."

Aster’s gaze fell upon the foremost three Demon Gods, and he could feel...

The power of these three Demon Gods was on a completely different level from the Tenth and Ninth Demon Gods he had previously defeated.

However, he had anticipated this situation long ago.

The Demon Gods’ order was set according to when they became Demon Gods.

The top three Demon Gods had existed in the Demon Abyss since its inception and attained Demon God Level then.

But so what?

Even though his current strength was only at Totem Ninth Tier, with the augmentation of his Divine Position power on several Beastbond, he had confidence to contend with these Demon Gods!

Moreover, if he couldn’t even defeat a single Demon God...

How could he confront the creators of the Demon Gods?

Aster slowly closed his eyes, and in the next moment, they snapped open again.

Instantly.

An intangible, impalpable, yet overwhelmingly majestic divine will erupted from within him like an awakened Great Dragon!

Then, this divine will transformed into eight streams of pure, dazzling energy, injecting into the eight Beastbond behind him.

Aster felt as if his consciousness in that instant ceased to be an independent entity.

He felt his consciousness split into eight, yet remained as one, seamlessly embedded deep into the soul of each Beastbond.

He was them, and they were him.

He could perceive everything about the Beastbond, and the Beastbond could likewise perceive everything about Aster.

Divine Position Resonance!

And it was resonance of eight Divine Positions simultaneously!

"Voom——!!!"

Lazuli, Lilith, Veridia, Vera, Isabelle, Scarlett, Sally, Elara Crimson!

Eight beams of divine light, each of a different hue yet equally resplendent and awe-inspiring, shot up from the eight companions!

At this moment, the aura of the eight surged wildly, multiplied geometrically!

The aura that was perhaps slightly inferior to that of the Demon Gods now fiercely rebounded.

Their aura opposed the terrifying Demon Power formed by the seven Demon Gods and even suggested an inclination to overtake it!

"Kill——!"

Lazuli roared in fury, first targeting the Second Demon God, whose aura was the most mysterious.

The strongest shall battle the strongest!

While Lilith and Veridia respectively targeted the Third and Fourth Demon Gods!

Meanwhile, the remaining Isabelle, Vera, and Sally faced off against the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Demon Gods.

And as for Elara Crimson and Scarlett, the two jointly tackled the Eighth Demon God!

Even though the seven Demon Gods gathered, nevertheless...

Beast Tamers fear not a melee!

Especially when every single Beast bonded by Aster is a force to be reckoned with alone.

In this moment.

The divine light met the Demon Power in a fierce clash, tearing apart the ancient silence of the eighth layer of the Demon Abyss.

Lazuli transformed into a Twelve-Winged Angel of Origin, slashing the sword of Destruction through the engulfing darkness.

She engaged in a fierce battle with the Second Demon God, The Terminus, as light and nothingness annihilated each other.

Lilith morphed into a dark red storm, clinging like a shadow to the Third Demon God, Crystalblight.

Veridia stood amidst overwhelming murderous intent.

Combining ultimate slaughter with ultimate force, she clashed fiercely against the Fourth Demon God Mindwrack.

Isabelle transformed into a colossal golden dragon, entwined in combat with the corrupted giant tree that was the Fifth Demon God.

...

None of the Beastbond held back in the slightest, fighting with all their might against each Demon God.

With the augmentation of Aster’s power, every Beastbond’s strength nearly doubled.

Even those like Elara Crimson and Scarlett, who were least adept in combat.

Under their combined force, they could completely suppress the Eighth Demon God.

Regarding the other combat-type Beastbond, there’s even less concern.

Whether it’s Lazuli confronting the strongest Second Demon God, or Sally against the Seventh Demon God...

They all gradually gained the upper hand in battle!

The ancient Demon Gods were more alarmed and frustrated as the battle raged on.

Despite possessing vast Demon Power and profound heritage, they were restrained and consumed through various inexplicable means by the opposition.

"We can’t go on like this!"

The voice of The Terminus rang in the consciousness of all Demon Gods, tinged with rare urgency.

"If this continues, we will surely be defeated one by one!"

"Pool all your powers into me, then with absolute strength, we can thoroughly crush this human and his Beastbond!"

Upon hearing this proposal, all the Demon Gods showed intense resistance through their spiritual fluctuations.

Pooling one’s Origin Power completely into The Terminus amounted to entrusting one’s life and future entirely in its hands!

In the Demon Abyss, a realm of survival of the fittest and endless conniving over countless ages, trust was the most ridiculous concept.

If The Terminus betrayed them after gaining the power, or refused to return the power post-battle, or even seized the opportunity to devour them, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"The Terminus! What are you planning?!"

The Third Demon God, Crystalblight, was first to voice questioning, "Are you attempting to devour us and accomplish your own supremacy?!"

The Third Demon God Mindwrack conveyed deep apprehension through its consciousness as well.

"With power concentrated on you, we will become exceedingly weak and vulnerable!"

The Fifth, Sixth, and other Demon Gods also expressed strong resistance.

"Fools!"

The voice of The Terminus suddenly turned sharp, "Do you think you have any room for choice now?! Look around you!"

The hearts of all Demon Gods trembled, and their Divine Sense swept across the battlefield.

Each Demon God had been forced into a pitiful state.

"Continuing to fight individually, the end result will be being defeated one by one, utterly annihilated, just like being blighted!"

"Pooling our powers offers a slim chance of survival, and maybe even a counter-kill!"

"At the very least, with the power in my hands, I can still fight with all my strength, repel or even severely wound them!"

"At that time, you can naturally reclaim your powers, which is far better than being disintegrated into nothingness now!"

The words of The Terminus were like icy daggers, piercing through the last hopes of the Demon Gods.

Indeed, continuing like this, defeat seemed inevitable.

Pool the power together, although a massive risk, but at least with power in The Terminus’ hands, it’s on their side, better than power being scattered and devoured or disassembled by the enemy.

The threat of life and death outweighed the mistrust among companions.

"... Alright!"

The Third Demon God was the first to decide.

An intensely pure stream of dark Origin Power surged violently towards The Terminus!

At the same time, its aura dwindled by more than half instantly.

"Going all in!"

The Fourth Demon God also separated out a most concentrated, soul-laden dark mass, shooting it towards The Terminus.

"For survival!"

"Kill them!"

Other Demon Gods hesitated no more, gritting their teeth as they stripped away the fundamental core Origin Power from their Divine Position.

Six different powers began to frantically pour into The Terminus!
