Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1172  An Outer God’s Definition of Victory [Part 2]

The Dragons and the Dragon Borns unleashed their breath attacks at the Giant Tentacles, destroying them from the root.

But the more they destroyed, the more tentacles rose from the ground to replace them.

"We will deal with the tentacles," the Sovereign of Memento Mori stated. "All of you focus on the Abyssal Monsters."

As soon as he finished saying those words, two beams of black light descended from the Bone Fortress of Memento Mori and landed on the ground. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

A moment later, the seven-headed monster, Teju Jagua, and the Calamity Boar, Ao Ao, appeared.

They were two of the Seven Stars of Calamity that were under Memento Mori's control.

The seven-headed dog, Teju Jagua, unleashed seven breath attacks, targeting one Giant Tentacle each.

Ao Ao squealed in anger before charging toward the Tentacles in a straight line.

Its entire body was covered in blazing flames, igniting everything in its path. Some of the tentacles tried to wrap around the Boar's body, but soon, these tentacles were burned until nothing was left.

Teju Jagua didn't have the ability to cover his entire body with flames to protect itself from the tentacles.

However, there was no need for it. Standing on each of its heads were Necromancers from Memento Mori, who dealt with the tentacles that tried to wrap around its body.

But just as things seemed to be finally under their control, over a hundred Abyssal Lords appeared and unleashed their strongest attacks, not caring whether they hit friend or foe.

Hundreds of flying ships were instantly destroyed by this surprise attack, making King Azza and Keoza immediately intercept their enemies.

Lady Augustina, the Beast King, as well as the other Supremes of the Alliance, also joined the battle.

They couldn't afford to hold back because a hundred Abyssal Lords were more than enough to wipe out their entire fleet.

There were only seventy Supremes in the Alliance, while the rest were made up of Saints.

The Pseudo-Supremes of the Divine Army of Light, as well as the Seven Stars of Calamity by Memento Mori, somewhat evened up the odds, but everyone knew that they were still greatly outclassed by their enemies.

To make matters worse, Nyarlathotep had also made its appearance on the battlefield, and the first thing it attacked wasn't the main fleet of the alliance.

No.

It specifically targeted the lone floating island at the very rear of the formation, which was responsible for the destruction that had destroyed half of the Abyssal Fortress, forcing Nyarlathotep to initiate a strong counter-offensive.

Keoza, who could tell what the Outer God was planning to do, cursed internally as he tried to go towards the Floating Island of Heaven's Gate.

However, his way was blocked by two Abyssal Lords, preventing him from going to their rescue.

Nyarlathotep's order was simple.

The Abyssal Lords were to engage the forces of the Alliance while it personally dealt with the most annoying pest that had gotten on its nerves.

The countless cannons on the floating island roared to life and attacked the Outer God with everything they had.

Unfortunately, Nyarlathotep was simply too fast, and too agile to be hit, evading the defensive bombardment that was trying to prevent it from reaching its target.

A few minutes later, the Outer God landed on top of the floating island and looked in the direction of Great General Garret, whose face had turned grim after seeing Nyarlathotep face to face. "Playtime's over, mortals," Nyarlathotep said in a teasing tone. "Now, how do you all want to die, hmm?"

The Outer God saw something out of the corner of its eye, stopping it from whatever it was going to say next.

A little girl with long blue hair, wearing a pirate hat, could be seen standing in the distance, with her hands resting on her waist.

"Peekaabo," Eiko said. "I see you."

At that exact moment, a giant beam of light fired from behind Eiko.

Nyarlathotep's first thought was to dodge as fast as it could, but it was unable to move from its spot as if it was frozen in place.

The Outer God didn't even have time to scream as its entire body was vaporized by Poseidon's main cannon, leaving nothing behind.

The Giant Bone ship then materialized out of thin air, making everyone in the Alliance gasp in surprise.

They weren't aware that Heaven's Gate had another Trump Card up their sleeve, which was none other than the Pirate Fairy Princess, who had come to join the battle as well.

With her Golden Anchor, Eiko made Poseidon invisible using the water droplets in the air to act like mirrors, reflecting the surroundings.

She returned to the floating island under the cover of darkness with the intention of helping the Alliance in her Papa's place.

Avery, her right-hand man, was also a strategist, and he advised Eiko to hide Poseidon first so that they would have the element of surprise during the battle.

Their plan paid off, and Nyarlathotep died without even being able to escape the Bone Ship's main cannon.

When the Abyssal Lords saw that their leader had died, they all destroyed the teleportation crystals that they were carrying and vanished instantly from the battlefield.

The Calamity-Ranked Monsters did the same and escaped the battlefield, leaving the low-ranking Abyssal Monsters to fend for themselves.

Having been abandoned, these Abyssal Monsters entered a berserk state and no longer cared for survival.

The only thought in their minds was to bring as many enemies with them to the afterlife just as Nyarlathotep had instructed.

"Too bad, what we killed was merely a clone," Avery muttered as he gazed at the Abyssal Fortress in the distance. "This Outer God sure knows how to play it safe."

Eiko nodded her head before ordering Poseidon to help the Alliance by using its smaller cannons to deal with the Abyssal Legion that was left to fend for themselves.

She knew that it was only a matter of time before the enemy's forces were decimated, but in order to lower the casualties, she decided to intervene and help save the lives of others. ————————

Meanwhile, within the Abyssal Fortress…

Nyarlathotep was very annoyed because Eiko had killed its last remaining clone on the battlefield.

It had two other clones, but they had been sent to other locations in order to do something important.

The Outer God could not create any more clones because it had already reached the limit of what it could create with the vessel it possessed.

"Retreat," Nyarlathotep commanded. "We will go with Plan B."

After saying those words, the entire Abyssal Fortress liquefied into a giant slime.

This slime then shrank until it was only the size of a school bus before fleeing farther West at great speeds.

Nyarlathotep might have lost its first line of defense, but the war was far from over.

Even so, it burned the image of the annoying little girl in its head, for she had interfered with its plans twice in a row.

"Enjoy your victory while you still can." Nyarlathotep sneered as it escaped towards its second base. "The one who will have the last laugh will be none other than me. You fools are just playing on the palm of my hands."

Yes, Nyarlathotep didn't take this loss to heart because it knew that it would be the one who would win in the end.

The victory that mortals sought was different from the victory that it had envisioned.

When the Alliance finally realized what the Outer God was truly planning to do, it would already be too late for them to do anything about it.
