Chapter 1218 The Guardian That Protects The Gates Of Heaven [Part 3]
Daniel thought that his ascension to Godhood was at hand.
All he needed to do was kill the Half-Elf and the Baby Slime perched on top of his head, allowing him to gain the three other Pillars of Eternity. Once all five were in his hands, he would gain the power that he had always wanted.
But just as he was about to kill the young man, Diablo interfered and split his attack in half, making him arch an eyebrow.
He didn't expect that an Undead could possess such strength, making him feel intrigued.
However, after that brief exchange, the Half-Elf seemed to have regained his sanity and challenged him once again.
To Daniel's surprise, the Half-Elf's strength suddenly had a drastic change, catching him by surprise.
He only realized how strong Lux had become when the latter's fist hit the side of his face, and he was sent flying.
Daniel had no idea what happened, but that single punch was enough to give him a wake-up call, making him take the Half-Elf seriously again.
"It seems you got yourself a power-up," Daniel said as soon as he regained his balance. "Is that the power of the three Pillars of Eternity that you absorbed?"
The Pseudo-God could feel the strong power emanating from the locket that was hanging from the Half-Elf's neck, making him narrow his eyes.
"Something like that," Lux replied.
Despite the power he possessed, Daniel lacked the ability to see Souls.
He couldn't see the countless number of souls that had merged with Lux's body, fueling him the power to stand toe to toe with the Pseudo God in front of him.
"Everyone, lend me your strength," Lux said as he summoned his Clones and Undead Legion.
Thousands of Undead then appeared around the Half-Elf making Daniel snort.
"Do you think your Undead Legion can help you?" Daniel sneered.
"Absolutely," Lux replied in a heartbeat.
A moment later, his Undead Army, Poseidon, Avery, and C2 all turned into particles of light, merging with the golden locket that hung on their Master's neck.
Diablo, Lux's other Named Creatures, as well as the members of his Covenant, also merged with the golden locket, further boosting the Half-Elf's strength.
Daniel didn't like what he was seeing, so he drew more power from the Outer God, who was sleeping in the deepest layer of the Abyss.
"No matter how strong you become, I will still be stronger than you," Daniel stated.
"Let's put that to the test then, shall we?" Lux sneered as his Deus Gigantia emerged from behind his back.
The giant Skeleton King then merged with Lux's Corpse God, increasing the number of its hands to a thousand.
The size of the Corpse God also increased, making it nearly forty meters tall.
Daniel then stomped forward and reappeared in front of Lux, ready to strike.
However, the Half-Elf was ready to meet his attack.
Using his Spear of Longinus, he managed to block one of Daniel's clawed hands that was about to slash his face.
The Pseudo-God's three remaining claws descended toward the Half-Elf, with the intention of ripping him apart.
However, Lux only sneered and even taunted Daniel by saying…
"You only have four hands. What makes you think that you can reach me?"
As if waiting for that moment, dozens of Skeleton Fists punched out at the same time, colliding with Daniel's claws.
The Skeleton Fists shattered after the collision, but it gave the Corpse God enough time to launch its deadly barrage.
"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!"
"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!"
"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!"
Countless Skeleton Fists pummeled Daniel's body, holding him in place. The Pseudo-God was hit several times before he counterattacked by destroying all the fists that were attacking him.
However, after he destroyed one skeleton fist, another one would take its place, continuing the cycle.
What was worse was that the destroyed fists regenerated completely in the span of a few seconds, making Daniel feel pressured.
Lux then sneered as he allowed ALL-MITE to momentarily take over his body in order to launch his onslaught at the arrogant Pseudo God, who thought that he had already won earlier.
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!"
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!"
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!"
"SMASH!"
The Void Battlefield shook as Daniel's body was sent flying a second time.
However, before he could even regain his balance mid-air, thousands of Divine Cross Bolts flew in his direction and transformed into golden comets, hitting his body non-stop.
Lux's Corpse God had equipped Crossbows in all of its hands, and they were all firing non-stop as the Half-Elf closed the distance between him and Daniel.
Suddenly, the silhouette of the Outer God, Azathoth, once again appeared above Daniel's head.
This time, the Outer God was no longer transparent and had more luster in its body.
"Die!" Daniel roared as he commanded the Outer God to attack.
Opening its eyes, Azathoth fired a beam of light, which was too fast to dodge.
Lux, who was locked in its gaze, didn't panic and crossed his arms in front of him.
The Golden Locket in his chest glowed brightly, encapsulating the Half-Elf in a golden dome.
Daniel couldn't see what was happening because he was forced to cover his eyes due to how bright the beam was.
When the light receded, and he was able to see again, what appeared in front of his eyes was something he didn't expect.
"Two can play that game," Lux said as his Corpse God equipped a thousand cannons that were as strong as Poseidon's Main Cannon.
Half of his hair had turned silver after his life force was used in order to block the Outer God's deadly attack, but he didn't care.
As he unleashed an attack that was impossible to dodge, the only thing on his mind was to make the Pseudo God feel a world of pain.
"Giga Blaster!"
Over a thousand cannons roared to life and shot beams toward Daniel's direction.
Just like what happened to Lux earlier, Daniel was unable to evade the beams of light and was forced to tank it using his own barrier.
Unfortunately for him, the golden locket was not only capable of creating the strongest of barriers, but it was also capable of nullifying all kinds of barriers in its surroundings!
At that moment, a scream that Daniel never thought would escape his lips, reverberated across the entire Void Battlefield, as Lux's Giga Blaster rained down on him, making him feel a world of pain that he hadn't felt in a long time.
