From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 962 - 553: Double Trap, Summoner Identity
CHAPTER 962: CHAPTER 553: DOUBLE TRAP, SUMMONER IDENTITY
...
At the last moment of Salion’s death, he uttered a strange sentence.
He said, "Even if you got me killed, I will still destroy your world!"
What he obviously meant was the destruction of Blue Star.
Now, the Star Realm Merchant Ship is too far from Blue Star, and it will take at least two days to return.
Lu Heng can open the Star Gate to go back, but Azik’s Spirit might be controlled by the Three-headed Serpent.
If he leaves the ship and goes back alone, the Dragon Power Warriors on the ship might be led into death by Azik.
Therefore, Lu Heng opened the Star Gate, turned around, and said to the people behind him, "You go back first, there may still be a crisis on Blue Star. Tell me the situation on Blue Star as soon as you return. I have to stay on the ship, Orelana, I rely on you."
"I will do my best to help you protect the Main World." Orelana said and was the first to pass through the Star Gate to return to Blue Star.
Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, Xie Shi’en, and a group of Dragon Power Warriors quickly passed through the Star Gate back to Blue Star, until the Star Gate reached its maximum capacity.
...
Blue Star, East Sea sky.
A Demon God Avatar descended on Blue Star, and it was the avatar left by Salion.
This was the back-up Salion left when he went after the Star Realm Merchant Ship.
In the entire Human World, there was only one Demigod, Lu Heng, and Lu Heng took away a large number of High Rank Human warriors.
This means that after the Star Realm Merchant Ship left, Blue Star’s defenses were vulnerable.
If at this time, Salion descended on Blue Star, even with the restrictions of the World Law, no human on Blue Star would be his match.
He could easily destroy Blue Star.
Of course, he couldn’t descend on Blue Star with his true form.
Because Lu Heng could open the Star Gate and return to Blue Star at any time, if he descended with his true form before the Eye of the Storm was formed, he would become fish on the chopping block once Lu Heng returned.
Therefore, Salion had to pursue the Star Realm Merchant Ship, firstly to hunt down Lu Heng, secondly to ensure Lu Heng would not return to Blue Star.
Once it was confirmed Lu Heng wouldn’t return to Blue Star, the Demon God Avatar could descend on Blue Star, and even with the World Law’s restrictions, it would be enough to destroy the Human World.
Salion’s true form had already been devoured, but the released Demon God Avatar was still there.
The Demon God Avatar, as set, descended on Blue Star and landed from the East Sea, raising a tsunami with a casual wave of its hand, toward the coastal cities along the East Sea.
At this moment.
A Demigod with the body of a human and the tail of a fish floated on the waves, raised the Sea God’s Scepter, and blocked the giant wave along the thousand-mile coastline, holding the tsunami in front of the coastline.
At this moment, a world-shocking scene appeared on the east coast of Blue Star.
A giant wave thousands of meters high stood like a wall of water in front of the coastline, stacking higher and higher.
Standing below the giant wave, one could feel a suffocating pressure from the overwhelming wave.
Countless humans screamed and shouted in front of the water curtain of the giant wave, and some took out their phones to take pictures.
More people fled back to the city behind them.
However, the buildings in the city were of no defense against a kilometer-high tsunami.
If the tsunami were to surge ashore, it would instantly engulf the land of a thousand miles, and countless lives would perish in this ocean upon the land.
However, the tsunami miraculously halted at the edge of the land.
Someone recognized that the one stopping this tsunami was the High Priestess Sona of the Sea Demon Clan.
Lu Heng had already considered the potential crisis Blue Star might face before setting out, so he asked Sona to come and guard Blue Star.
Sona held the tsunami back and, with a circular motion of her right hand, summoned a Water Dragon to strike at the Demon God Avatar.
The Demon God Avatar waved its hand, shattering the Water Dragon, and charged forward, breaking through the water wall, extending its enormous hand to grasp Sona.
As long as Sona was crushed, this kilometer-high tsunami would engulf the land, and Blue Star’s most profound country would be pushed back to the Stone Age.
Most of Sona’s Strength was needed to stop the tsunami, leaving no extra to battle the Demon God Avatar.
She could only retreat to avoid the sharp edges when the Demon God Avatar’s hand reached out, but with every inch she retreated, the tsunami inched closer.
After retreating a hundred meters, many coastal buildings were already submerged by the sea.
At this moment.
Orelana returned, released the Elf Sacred Artifact, and blocked the Demon God Avatar.
The combined force of two Demigods, plus Su Muyu and the other two, finally confined the Demon God Avatar.
After descending on Blue Star, the Demon God Avatar was restricted by the World Law, the Divine Power it exhibited was equivalent to the strongest level beneath True God, which was the mightiest Demigod strength.
The two Demigods blocked the Demon God Avatar, and then the incoming nuclear bomb blasted the Demon God Avatar into dust.
The Demon God Avatar was annihilated.
Sona finally exhaled heavily, raised her hand, and pushed the seawater back into the sea.
The seawater surged for some time before gradually calming down.
...
Two days later.
The Star Realm Merchant Ship returned to Blue Star, unloading the human warriors and materials aboard.
Only then did Lu Heng have time to sit down with Azik for a face-to-face conversation.
"Who are you now?"
"Azik, have I really gone wrong? But I can’t feel it, I feel quite normal." Azik had checked his body and Spirit many times and couldn’t figure out where the problem was.
However, since Lu Heng said so, there must be a reason.
So although puzzled, he still cooperated with all arrangements.
Lu Heng said solemnly, "You saw the Three-headed Snake Demon God in the Dark World, right?"
Azik nodded: "Yes, I saw it, saw its three heads bite Salion to pieces and swallow him."
Lu Heng continued, "You mentioned before that you had entered that Dark World, didn’t you?"
Azik nodded, "Yes, I should have gone in, but I have no memory of it after entering. I should have been unconscious for ten days."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Heng continued to ask, "Human ships have a device called a black box that records navigation logs. Captains also record all encountered events daily. Do you have such a device?"
Azik nodded, "Of course, navigation in the Star Realm is much more dangerous than the ocean, records must be kept."
Lu Heng: "Have you checked the navigation logs for the ten days you were unconscious?"
Azik was taken aback, turned to retrieve the navigation logs, and then found something horrifying: "How can this be?"
"What went wrong?" Lu Heng knew something must have happened.
Azik felt deeply unsettled, looking at Lu Heng with surprise, and said, "On the navigation logs, there are navigation records during the ten days I have no memory.
"Moreover, the records show I issued navigation commands. How is that possible? I was clearly unconscious, how could there be navigation commands?"
Lu Heng instead gradually calmed down: "Where did the ship go according to the navigation logs?"
The more Azik examined the navigation logs, the more he felt his scalp tingle: "There are records of me operating the ship in the navigation logs, but the ship malfunctioned and was trapped in a space, unable to move.
"Why is this happening? I have no memory of this part, during which I performed hundreds of operations but couldn’t free the ship.
"This situation lasted for half a day, then there were no navigation operations.
"The next navigation operation happened ten days later, my memory resumes from ten days later, I can’t recall this interval at all."
After hearing this, Lu Heng had roughly deduced what had happened:
"What the Three-headed Snake Demon God said is true, it altered your memory and may have affected your Spirit as well.
"If according to what it said, you were deliberately led to bring me there, but why?"
At this moment.
Azik’s expression suddenly changed, his eyes suddenly became dark vertical pupils, identical to those seen on the Three-headed Snake Demon God.
"I’ll tell you the answer, because I am the summoned Demon God."
Lu Heng was stunned upon hearing this answer, realizing that Azik had been controlled by the will of the Three-headed Snake Demon God.
And the information in the answer was vast.
When Salion was about to descend on Blue Star, human think tanks conducted countless analyses and studies.
There was a hypothesis at the time, suggesting that an Abyss Battlefield might appear, and an entity capable of opposing Salion would be summoned.
During the extermination of the Black Scale Demon, the Abyssal Will summoned the Wing Demon God Salion.
But due to the Demon God’s unique nature, it couldn’t directly teleport into the target world, so Salion had to find his own way to descend.
If the Abyss and the Summoning Will were adversaries, and possessed summoning powers of the same Level.
Then when Salion intended to destroy the Human World, a True Divine Level Summoner should have appeared.
This was the thought at that time’s analysis.
However, during the two months the Demon God Descent crisis lasted, no Summoner appeared.
At that time, Lu Heng had given up hope on the summoning, having to find another way to resolve the crisis.
But now hearing this shocking answer, the Three-headed Snake Demon God was actually the one summoned to counter Salion.
Like the extermination event of the Black Scale Demon, it was evident that the Three-headed Snake Demon God also could not directly descend into the Human World, ultimately setting up a double trap drawing Salion into it.
