Leylin's Clone's Apotheosis (4)

"There's no use in making any noises; get lost!"

The second Hell of the Nine Hells of the Baator Dis rumbled, and Asmodeus's figure immediately turned small er.

As Leylin activated the onslaught of his Divine Kingdom, the Archdevil was sent flying back to Nessus.

Debanks Island immediately merged with Dis and radiated with a Holy Light, as the foundation of his Divine Realm was already established. However, once it was done, it couldn't be called Baator due to the Primordial Contract with the Father of All Devils.

"Nāgarāja, my Lord, you are the Creator of Order, Lord of the Chaos, Master of the Bloodlines, Sovereign of Devouring, Serpent that Eats the World, the Overlord of all Devils. You are the Wielder of Massacre, the Lord of Dis."

Prayers resounded as the two planes experienced a perfect fusion.

Leylin had prepared for this, remodeling Debanks Island to be similar to Dis so they could draw closer.

A golden glow spread across the former Second Hell of the Baator Dis.

A large region around the middle of the Iron Tower in the middle of Dis had been evacuated, and Debanks Island fit into the place like a tile of a puzzle. The Laws of the two began to blend together, eventually forming a Divine Kingdom that belonged to Leylin alone.

With the accumulated area of Dis, Leylin instantly overtook all Lesser Gods in the aspect of his Divine Kingdom. Golden light shrouded the heavens and the earth, and all of Leylin's believers, regardless of race, obtained an enormous boost to their power.

And this wasn't the end, as Gu Long and Iggwilv were observing the happenings from a safe distance in the emptiness of the Void. 

"Let the Divine Realm be born today; let the Araboth rise from the Dis and Debanks Islands!"

Instantly, the spell formations that were laid down around the entirety of the Dis and Debanks Islands were activated because the moment the two objects fused together as the formations finally completed, a small crystal that was in the middle of the newly formed realm started shining in bright azure blue color.

Leylin controlled the swirling energies of the Void and Origin Force as the entirely new Divine Realm was being created from the Dis and Debanks Islands. This was something unprecedented because the concept of the Divine Realm was something totally foreign to this part of the Universe.

He obtained it from the Father of All Devils as he started building a far more powerful version of the Divine Kingdom that was far bigger and more potent than the Divine Kingdom ever could be. 

Not to mention, this method was a combination of the Divine Realm from the Shao Universe and the creation of the Dimensional Pantheon Worlds from the Astral Boundary Universe.

Meaning that Leylin could assimilate the Divine Kingdoms of the other Gods into his Divine Realm.

And with a loud bang, the Araboth Divine Realm was born and appeared in the place where once the merged Dis and Debanks Islands existed.

The Divine Realm was massive right from the start and radiated tremendous power, causing even a few of the Greater Gods to take a step back when they looked at the newly created Dimension.

"So he was also a Lord of Baator… We've failed completely this time…"

Mystra laughed bitterly.

"The entirety of Dis as his Divine Kingdom and he managed to create some weird huge Realm from it... and an endless army of devils… He really is hard to handle…" 

No matter how much thought he put into it, he never would have been able to guess Leylin's plans. Even after Leylin's success, his insane approach was still unbelievable.

"He's started to raise his Divine Essence."

Tyr interrupted at that instant, causing Mystra to calm down and begin sensing the movements in Dis.

Divine Essence was the proof of God's strength. To an extent, it was even more important than their position in their Domain, giving them their Divine Rank.

Some ordinary True Gods, if they accumulated Divine Essence the moment they advanced, would just be jokes at Divine Rank 0.

To be at Divine Rank 1 just as one advanced to become a Lesser God could be considered very good, while rank 2s and 3s were rare geniuses. Of course, this didn't count those like Cyric, who had the fortune to inherit the Divinity of powerful Gods.

Those were special cases, and could not be compared to the rest.

The very second Leylins started gathering Divine Essence, he shot to the Divine Rank 3, but it didn't stop there. 

They sensed Leylin's Divine Rank rising rapidly, not slowing in the slightest after he reached rank 3. He broke through Divine Rank 4 and Divine Rank 5, slowing down only when he reached rank 6.

He had become Divine Rank 7 Lesser God in one go...

"Divine Rank 8, the pinnacle of the Lesser Gods… Just one level away from being an Intermediate God… He's a monster! A monster!"

And when they thought that the situation couldn't get even worse, Leylin, who right now used the pinnacle of the Lesser Gods, waved his hand as Origin Force and Faith congregated around him, and his advancement started once again.

He used everything that he had prepared for the whole centuries, as he broke instantly through the barrier of Lesser God and Intermediate God, and his Divine Rank started rising rapidly once more, supported by the newly established Araboth Divine Realm.

Divine Rank 9.

Divine Rank 10.

Divine Rank 11.

Divine Rank 12.

Divine Rank 13.

Divine Rank 14.

Divine Rank 15.

Divine Rank 16.

As he reached the pinnacle of Intermediate Godhood, he felt that his power right now wasn't inferior to any average Rank 8 Magus; he crushed the last of the reserves prepared for this moment, as the Will of the Universe itself rewarded him for the creation of the Divine Realm.

Naturally, this reward also extended to his True Body, which was safely hidden in the Magus World.

Divine Rank 17, reached!

All of the other Gods that were observing this were frightened by the sight and escaped as far as they could because, in fact, coupled with his Divine Realm, he could be a very real deadly threat to the Greater Gods.
