Judas had betrayed Jehovah for a bribe of thirty silvers, and now this self-proclaimed Judas was using silver as a weapon. It was an insult to them.
The Pontiff's face darkened. "Demon King, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
"We see each other as heretics," Satan replied coldly. "What else is there to explain?"
By the time the silver had blocked the lightning bolt, Judas was already a few feet away from the Pharmacist.
The Pharmacist opened her mouth, and spat out a beam of cyan light. It flared up into the air, transforming into a giant sword that slashed at Judas's head.
Wasn't her Discipline lightning?
How did it become a sword?
The sword flashed, and Judas's shadow retreated. The cyan light was sharp, and when it came into contact with the black light around Judas, it melted away like snow.
The Pharmacist's right hand slapped forward, and the cyan sword grew in size again. Like a shadow, it chased after Judas.
Lucifer's brows furrowed. "An Eastern Discipline?
I think it's Kinesis?
One of the greatest powers of Former China.
Does she have something to do with Celestial Master Qian?
No, that can't be right. Her sword seems to have the power of a high tech weapon.
How strange. "
Celestial Master Qian, second among the Ten Paragons. He was a mysterious Adept whose whereabouts were rarely seen.
It was said that he was the longest-lived Paragon.
He was much older than the Clairvoyant.
Celestial Master Qian hadn't been seen in public for decades, but he was famous throughout the Major League.
It was said that he had inherited the Way of Immortals from Former China.
Did immortals really exist?
Like God and the Demon King, no one knew.
But Celestial Master Qian's power had been passed down through the ages.
The most famous of them all.
It was his Kinesis that seemed capable of sweeping through a thousand miles.
"Enough, both of you stop."
Satan suddenly shouted. His voice seemed to have substance as it reverberated in every corner of the sparring arena.
The Pharmacist and the retreating Judas stopped. There was a flash of silver, and the Wine Master appeared in the middle of the arena.
The gazes of the people from the two castles and Skyfire Avenue were focused on Satan.
Satan's aged voice suddenly became somewhat irritable. "Fight what fight? Fight my ass.
Space Staff, arrange a place for my people to stay.
The Dark Citadel.
Whoever dares to cause trouble, I'll turn him into a dried corpse. "After saying this, he walked out with a cold expression.
"Wait a minute." A deep voice suddenly sounded.
"Hmm?" Satan stopped in his tracks and looked at him coldly.
"This is Skyfire Avenue," the Gourmet said coldly. "You're the one who suggested this. Do you think you can come and go as you please?"
Satan's face darkened, and his eyes grew dark. He slowly turned to face the Gourmet. "What do you want?"
"I challenge you," the Gourmet said.
Six simple words.
But it shocked all the Arcanists present.
Challenge?
He wants to challenge Satan?
That was the Great Demon King, Satan!
Satan laughed in disdain.
"You think you've just become a Paragon and you're qualified to challenge me?"
Paragon?
The crowd was shocked again.
No wonder … no wonder he could sit across from the Cosmagus, representing Skyfire Avenue.
No wonder he dared to challenge Satan.
He's a Paragon too?
Skyfire Avenue's fourth Paragon?
The Coffee Master had a lollipop dangling from his mouth, but when he heard Satan's words he drooled and dropped it.
The Driver scowled and was about to walk away when the Seamstress pulled him back.
The Gourmet's eyes were calm as he looked at Satan. "Yes, I believe I have the right."
His entire aura suddenly became gloomy, and a soundless deathly stillness blossomed from his body. The entire sparring ring seemed to have turned gray, and a gloomy coldness appeared in everyone's heart from the inside out.
Rivers suddenly appeared beneath everyone's feet without any warning. Everyone felt their bodies sinking into the river, and a cold feeling seeped into their bones.
"Yu Chen, Styx!
This is Hades' legacy. "The Pontiff's deep voice boomed.
Satan's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't do anything, but the gray under his feet suddenly turned dark red. Immediately after, dark red rivers of lava spread out from his feet in all directions.
Whether it was Styx or Hell's lava, they were both protogenia.
"If you want to fight, get out of here!"
A beam of silver light descended from the heavens, cutting through the grey and black like a sharp blade. It severed the connection between the two.
A silver light extended and turned into a door of light.
The Wine Master stepped out, placing himself between the two combatants.
"Hades. Very good, Hades!" Satan laughed, but it was a wild laugh. He turned and walked away.
The Gourmet patted Lan Jue on the shoulder. "Let's go together. We need a witness."
Lan Jue nodded. "Let's go."
The Gourmet turned his head to the Wine Master. "We need a judge as well."
The Wine Master's brows furrowed. "Must it be like this?"
The Gourmet nodded resolutely.
He chased after Satan, striding out of the arena.
Lan Jue trailed behind the Gourmet as they left the Reaper's Arena.
Just off to the side was an elevator that led to the surface.
As soon as Satan entered the elevator, the Gourmet and Lan Jue followed.
The doors closed, and the elevator slowly ascended.
Satan smirked. He looked at the Gourmet with interest, then at Lan Jue, who stood beside him.
His eyes, however, were filled with an icy chill.
"Was it you who took my daughter?" His eyes grew cold.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Lan Jue and the Gourmet spoke in unison.
Satan's brows furrowed. "Who was it?"
"Mika is with me," Lan Jue said calmly.
Satan turned his head to the Gourmet. "What about you?
What's going on with you? "
The Gourmet took a deep breath, but his voice was low. "Mina is my lover."
In an instant, Lan Jue suddenly felt the temperature in the elevator plummet, and the bright elevator instantly became dark.
His eyes could not see.
"What — did — you — say —"
"Boom!"
The entire Skyfire Avenue seemed to tremble from the violent roar.
On Skyfire Avenue.
An explosion suddenly sounded from an elevator, and the entire elevator rose into the sky.
At the same time, two rays of light, one black and one grey, rose.
The two beams of light soared into the sky almost instantly, and the elevator that had rushed out with them was instantly reduced to ashes.
"Cough, cough, cough!" A man crawled out of the elevator shaft covered in dust.
"Is it retribution for tormenting those little fellows recently? Who did I offend?
I'm just an innocent bystander! "
The one covered in dirt was none other than Lan Jue.
As he grumbled, the sky above Skyfire Avenue grew dark.
Without any warning, the entire sky turned pitch black, and in the blink of an eye, clouds began to gather.
Without any warning, the entire sky turned pitch-black. In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky.
It was as if an enormous black vortex was forming in the sky.
The sky was as black as ink, and it looked as if it would crush Skyfire City to smithereens. Bolts of red lightning flickered through the dark clouds, but in the center of the clouds was a ring of grey light that spread outward.
One figure after another.
One by one, they emerged from the recently destroyed elevator shaft. When they saw the scene in the sky, their faces changed.
When they saw what was happening, their faces changed.
Just then, from the direction of the Skyfire Museum, a pillar of crystalline light shot up into the sky. It rose about five hundred meters into the air, then blossomed into a giant dome of light that enveloped the entirety of Skyfire City.
There was a flash of silver, and the Wine Master appeared at Lan Jue's side. "What's going on?"
Lan Jue smiled wryly. "I think the Gourmet's former lover was Satan's daughter."
The Wine Master was taken aback. As a Paragon, he was well aware of the grudges between the most powerful of human heritages.
The first generation of Satan and the first generation of Hades were once mortal enemies. They fought each other for the right to control the Dark World. There were ups and downs, but no one was able to truly destroy the other.
In recent times, however, Satan had gained the upper hand. He had become the ruler of the Dark Citadel.
To Satan, Hades was his true rival, perhaps even more of a threat than the Pontiff's Citadel.
After all, if the Pontiff's Citadel were to attack, the entire world of darkness would be united against them.
If Hades came, however, the situation would be completely different.
The world of darkness respected strength. If Hades was stronger than Satan, then the Dark Citadel's power would change hands.
Therefore, the Demon King's lineage and Hades' lineage had always been at odds. The Hades bloodline had been forced to flee to the Northern Alliance, seeking refuge with the Northern Alliance. That was the only way the Dark Citadel hadn't been able to destroy them.
The Demon King's daughter was the lover of the Heir of Hades. One could only imagine the enmity that would ensue. What's more, the Heir of Hades had become a Paragon.
No wonder the Gourmet had challenged the Demon King. No wonder the Demon King had been enraged.
This wasn't just a competition between the powers of darkness. It was a matter of heritage.
"Let's go up."
The Wine Master grabbed Lan Jue's arm. There was a flash of silver, and in the next moment the two of them were high in the air.
Lan Jue felt as if she were surrounded by six doors of light. They spun around her, cutting off all energy from the outside world.
Even so, she could still feel the terrifying power of protogenia wreaking havoc in the air. Waves of energy rippled through the air.
Cold, dark, death … all sorts of negative emotions swirled around her.
