663 Lucifer's Power.
'Return...'
Raizo stopped attacking after hearing a voice in his mind. He quickly jumped backward, dodging Ares' axe and leaped off to the distance. He was immediately gone.
Ares rested the axe against his shoulder and turned to the battlefield. He grimaced at the sight of so many corpses, especially the half-eaten corpses of Inhumans and New-Gen Humans. Then, he noticed Amour clutching his stomach while struggling to stand up.
''Amour!'' He quickly strapped the axe on his back and jumped over to Amour. As Ares grabbed him by his arm, he helped him stand up.
''Ugh...'' Amour wiped the blood off his face and weakly smiled. ''I am not feeling too good...''
Ares grimaced and quickly helped Amour to walk towards the gates. There were healers on the way.
During the painful walk, he asked. ''Amour, why didn't you use impulse immediately?''
''I...'' Amour wryly smiled. ''Wanted to test something... I am not sure if it is right or if I suffered for nothing.''
''What is it?'' Ares asked curiously.
''I think... the secret behind Demon's regeneration is ''Devour''.'' Amour said hesitantly. ''When they eat, they can regenerate using their devouring ability to heal their abilities. That's what I understood. I tested that by injuring one of them. Then he ate one portion of my flesh and immediately healed.
''I think their regeneration powers are slower when they are hungry. However, when their stomach is full, their regenerative power works immediately.''
Ares' eyes widened in surprise. 'He was testing that by letting them eat him? Is he crazy?! But... he might be correct and that might help us tremendously!'
Healers soon arrived and took Amour. After Ares was left alone, he quickly ran towards the headquarters and soon arrived in the thousand monitor room.
''Aether!''
''Hmm?'' Aether turned away from the monitors and turned over to Ares. ''Ares?''
Arthur looked away from the computer screen and turned to Ares with raised eyebrow. The rest of the primordials also looked away from the monitors.
''I am sorry for not being able to control the army better.'' Ares sighed with resignation. ''I didn't know how scared they were. The calmness the first army showed blinded me.''
''It's alright.'' Aether turned back to the screens. ''It was unexpected that they were that terrified.''
Ares nodded, then hesitantly said. ''Amour found something and I think we should discuss about it.''
''Is he alright?'' Gaia suddenly quipped.
''Yes, Goddess Gaia.'' Ares said humbly. ''Healers are currently taking care of him. However, I want to talk about something he discovered during the battle that might help us.''
''What is it?'' Aether asked.
Ares then talked about what Amour discovered. The further he told, more primordial gods changed in their expression. After saying it all, they became silent and pondered deeply over it.
''Amour might not be completely off. However, I am not sure if "devour'' is everything demons have.'' Aether said with a frown. ''Amour did very well in finding this out, and we should now have some idea how to kill demons more efficiently.''
...
Outside of Four Seasons.
Lucifer watched as Raizo returned with the spaceship. The rest of the Demon Kings and Demon Lords didn't look worried or anxious. They were calm, like the first two battles meant nothing.
''...'' Lucifer gazed across the Four Seasons and saw the green wind shrouding the entire world while the air was very turbulent. They were obviously only directed to fight in White Paradise. However, that wasn't what Lucifer wanted. He wanted wide-spread chaos.
''I am done playing nicely.'' Lucifer said, pointing his finger towards the world. ''Vanish.''
The Demon Kings and Demon Lords widened their eyes in surprise. King Lucifer was actually using his ability?!
Then, after the voice reverberated across Four Seasons, the wind that protected other continents suddenly vanished. It was like it had never existed before!
The citizens could once again enter the streets once the wind disappeared. They inhaled the fresh air, without realizing that they were all in grave danger!
In the thousand monitor room, Gaia widened her eyes in fear.
All Primordial Gods looked grave.
''Damn, communicate with government! All humanity's army had to be ready to fight the demons! We cannot stop them from going on rampage!'' Aether screamed toward Arthur.
Arthur nodded and made several phone calls. His voice was severe.
''Send third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth, and tenth armies." Lucifer commanded with a cold expression.
Then, eight spaceships descended on Four Seasons. They all went in different directions, to different countries and continents.
''Leviathan, go give a trouble for our dead primordial gods.'' Lucifer turned to the long, blue-haired man.
Leviathan smirked slightly and flew directly to the Four Seasons. His speed caused the air to explode as he entered supersonic speed. He soon arrived on top of White Paradise and released a deafening cry.
''Kraaaaaaaaaaaa!'' His scream cracked the earth and caused the walls to crumble into pieces. The ordinary soldiers paled in fright and shuddered in fear. The level of the war had increased tremendously!
Leviathan then straightened his back and his blue eyes became increasingly deeper. His tall, lean body started slowly transforming. He became fatter and much bigger. The blue hide slowly engulfed every piece of skin as he grew bigger and bigger.
Soon, a one-kilometer long sea serpent appeared on top of White Paradise. It was covered in indestructible blue hide, while its sharp teeth could bite through metal effortlessly. Its long tail could reach all the way to the mountains, and its tall body covered the entire sky.
It was mostly the color of blue and smelled like salt water.
Leviathan slowly opened its mouth and a large ball appeared in the depths of its mouth. The ball expanded, until it covered its entire mouth. Then, Leviathan spat the ball out and it exploded immediately, making a kilometer long explosion above White Paradise.
The explosion started descending towards White Paradise like a wall of fire.
Everyone watched as the wall of fire descended with a helpless expression. There was nothing they could do!
However, then a dome of water shrouded the entire city and subdued the fire immediately. Leviathan growled and turned to the woman, who stood on top of Legacy Company's headquarters roof. She was Ceto, the Primordial Goddess of the Sea.
