Chapter 1629: Chapter 1629

During the flight, Du You and his companions deliberately deviated slightly from their route to avoid interfering with the other groups. After all, once the battle started, these guys wouldn’t hold back.

Du You positioned himself between the two sisters and the other Death Gods, separating them, then launched attacks on the surrounding Demon Kings.

The two sisters were thus isolated, forming their own special space where they wouldn’t have to worry about interference from others. After selecting an opponent, the sisters began to fight.

Of course, the sisters were meticulous in choosing their opponents and didn’t simply pick randomly.

Most of the other Death Gods sought opponents with similar strength, but the sisters specifically targeted Demon Kings who were significantly weaker than themselves, only at the early seventh tier, enabling rapid kills.

With their innate advantages and the disparity in power, it took them less than ten minutes to each kill a Demon King. Unfortunately, the souls of those Demon Kings managed to escape.

In this spatial channel, connected directly to the Hell world, the demons’ souls were under Hell’s protection, making them very hard to destroy. Naturally, Du You had never planned to annihilate their souls. While their souls could eventually regenerate, it would take a long time and consume their forces.

Besides, demons respect strength; should they encounter Du You again, they might flee without him having to lift a finger.

Before being blinded by combat and rage, even demons know to retreat when faced with vastly superior enemies.

Du You’s chosen opponent was much stronger, at the mid-seventh tier, possibly exceeding Du You himself in rank.

Even without resorting to special techniques, using only Dark Attribute magic attacks, Du You could barely match his opponent evenly. Before long, a Death God arrived to assist in the fight.

"These guys, with so many enemies around, they still have time to help out?"

Du You was somewhat incredulous; after all, there were more Demon Kings here than Death Gods.

Franluoka appeared nearby at some unknown point. "You guys are pretty strong. I was right; you indeed have methods to counter demons. That’s good—we can’t let demons disrupt us here."

Du You rolled his eyes. This guy probably began watching them during their earlier battles. As for how long, Du You had no idea; Franluoka’s ability to hide was truly remarkable. Content orıginally comes from 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Suddenly, Du You spoke up, "I think these Demon Kings seem to be running out of steam."

"You’re right. Their energy is primarily being used to expand the spatial channel and reinforce its stability. They’re naturally short on Divine Power. If not for Hell’s protection behind them, they’d probably have been drained dry a long time ago. Still, in this environment, don’t bother trying to destroy their souls. Their souls are well protected."

"Is that so? I’d like to try anyway." With that, Du You unleashed a series of Soul Pierces.

During the attack, Du You noticed that while there was soul protection, it wasn’t entirely insurmountable.

His attack met some resistance but still managed to inflict severe damage on the Demon King’s soul, causing immense pain. With just one simple Energy Gathering Magic Cannon, Du You could destroy them completely.

"What a pity—I still can’t capture their souls," Du You muttered helplessly.

Under Hell’s protection, even with powerful soul attacks, he could only injure them; capturing their souls proved too difficult. Without the souls, wiping the enemy out entirely was impossible. Moreover, the Divine Souls of seventh-tier creatures were excellent materials, useful in a variety of applications.

"I didn’t expect you to have soul attacks. That’s impressive. Come on, let’s team up; I’ll give you half of the spoils afterward."

Du You waved him off. "I’ll handle it myself." Though his tier wasn’t as high as Franluoka’s and his overall combat strength seemed slightly inferior, when facing demons, Du You was no less capable.

One reason was his innate counter to demons. The other was his soul attack techniques, which were extremely effective. His speed in killing demons was even faster than Franluoka’s—why split the gains?

Franluoka was willing to offer half, thinking Du You would benefit, but Du You didn’t see it that way. Franluoka snorted coldly, seemingly annoyed, but said no more.

Du You glanced back and saw the two sisters were handling things well.

As Lin Yucha killed her third Demon King, both sisters’ bloodlines reached their boiling points. Now, they just needed to find a safe place to advance their bloodlines, just as Du You had done.

The first objective was achieved, but bloodline advancement couldn’t begin immediately; they needed to wait.

Du You signaled the sisters, and the trio’s combat dynamic shifted.

Previously fighting individually, now they coordinated their efforts. Once they started cooperating, their displayed combat strength multiplied geometrically, drawing the attention of surrounding Death Gods.

The effectiveness of this cooperation was astonishing. Unfortunately, relations among Death Gods were typically poor, making them reluctant to trust their counterparts. Even though such collaboration was remarkably effective, they refused to use it.

How others developed such trust was a mystery.

In fairness, mutually trusting relationships were rare among the Undead, and within the ranks of Death Gods, it was practically unheard of. What Du You and his allies demonstrated was a one-of-a-kind synergy. Other Death Gods only had subordinate relations or interactions with unrelated Undead creatures.

The spatial rift absorbed most of the battle’s aftermath, making the shockwaves less intense. However, the stability of the rift worsened.

The battles raged for days. Eventually, most of the Demon Kings sent across were killed, and they could no longer hold their ground. Though their souls escaped, they still suffered significant losses.

On their side, the Death Gods sustained heavy casualties as well. Out of over sixty who came, nearly thirty perished here. If the Demon Kings had managed to last longer, the Death Gods wouldn’t have been able to hold out.

While Undead creatures might not fear death, these Death Gods had transcended ordinary Undead. Reckless sacrifices in the heat of battle were not something they wished for. Had they not been pushed to the brink by the demons, these figures would never have united for such high-stakes efforts.
