**Chapter XX: Divine Confrontation**
High above the mortal realm, where the heavens kissed the earth, a place of divine residence lay veiled in ethereal splendor. Choirs of heavenly hosts sang hymns of heroes, their voices echoing through the celestial expanse.
"Daneel," the All-Maker intoned, his gaze piercing the veil between realms as he directed his attention to the young warrior below. With a solemn gesture, he beckoned forth a wisp of divine energy, setting in motion a chain of events that would alter the course of destiny.
Whoo.
The wisp traversed the celestial divide, tearing through barriers of wind and time with unstoppable force. Across grassy plains and shimmering lakes, it journeyed, leaving behind a trail of radiant energy in its wake. As it approached Daneel, the very air crackled with anticipation, heralding the arrival of divine intervention.
Slash.
Malnan, the Hellhood , raised his black sabers to the heavens, invoking the dark powers that dwelled within him. With a resonant cry, he called upon the forces of darkness to grant him strength and dominion over his foe.
"Infinite Overlord, grant me power," Malnan beseeched, his voice reverberating with an otherworldly resonance. With each word, his demonic aura swelled, shrouding him in a cloak of malevolent energy.
"Infuse me with your might, that I may overcome all obstacles in my path," he declared, his form undergoing a monstrous transformation. Horns of obsidian pierced the air, while his robe billowed like smoke, concealing the twisted visage of his true nature.He seemed as if the grim reaper coming to reap the souls for the master.
Ao.
Meanwhile, within Daneel's being, the white wisp stirred, responding to the impending clash of energies. With a surge of celestial power, it surged through his meridians, fortifying his body and spirit for the trials ahead.
Ao.
In the skies above, two titanic forces converged, each fueled by its own brand of primal energy. Malnan's scythe descended with terrifying speed, its blade aglow with dark intent, while Daneel stood firm, his resolve unwavering despite the overwhelming odds against him.
Ceng.
The clash was inevitable, the collision of opposing forces sending shockwaves rippling through the fabric of reality. Daneel fought valiantly, but the sheer ferocity of Malnan's assault proved too much to bear, overwhelming him with a barrage of relentless strikes.
Boom.
With a thunderous impact, Daneel was cast down from the skies, his body crashing to the earth below with bone-shattering force. As he lay battered and broken, a dark shadow loomed over him, threatening to snuff out the last vestiges of his fading strength.
Red lights flickered amidst the darkness, as Daneel desperately sought to stem the tide of his injuries. Yet, try as he might, the demonic poison coursing through his veins proved too potent, its insidious tendrils sapping away his life with every passing moment.
"You are not going to die so easily," Malnan sneered, summoning forth a trio of demonic creatures to finish the job-the demon Dragon,tiger and phoenix. With a cruel laugh, they descended upon Daneel, their fangs bared and claws extended, ready to deliver the final blow.
But in the midst of despair, a glimmer of hope emerged. A voice echoed within Daneel's mind, offering him a chance at salvation in the face of certain doom.
Despite the odds stacked against him, Daneel knew that he could not afford to 90 tianti Nengliang. With every fiber of his being, he reached out to grasp hold of this lifeline, clinging to it with all his might.
In that moment, Daneel's determination burned brighter than ever before. With the weight of destiny upon his shoulders, he resolved to defy fate itself and emerge victorious against all odds.
*Ding. Ding.*
The question hung in the air, a tantalizing offer of transcendence and power beyond imagining. For Daneel, it was a choice that would define the course of his destiny for all eternity.
"Gonna die anyway," he muttered, his voice tinged with defiance as he embraced the unknown.
With a surge of celestial energy, Daneel felt himself undergo a profound transformation. The divine wisp within him erupted in a blaze of radiant light, purging the demonic poison from his body and filling him with newfound strength and resolve.
"Argh!" he cried out, his veins pulsating with celestial power as he rose to his feet, his eyes blazing with determination.
Boom.
With a mighty swing of his mace, Daneel struck down his adversaries with righteous fury, their dark forms crumbling before his divine onslaught.
Kra. Boom.
The battle raged on, each blow striking true as Daneel unleashed the full extent of his newfound power upon his foes. With every strike, he felt the weight of destiny bearing down upon him, driving him ever forward towards his ultimate goal.
But just as victory seemed within reach, a new threat emerged from the shadows, casting a dark shadow over the battlefield.
"You have exceeded your limits," a voice echoed ominously, its words laden with portentous meaning.
- Celestial: Judith Black-demon
- Race: Original demon
- Cultivation: System level too low
- Age: System level too low
- Celestial Bloodline: True demon
- Celestial Class: System level too low>
In the presence of such a being, Daneel felt a sense of awe and reverence unlike anything he had ever experienced before. Despite his newfound power, he felt the urge to bow .
"At least you know your place ."The demonic spectre disappeared into the fissures of nothingless.
"Sigh ."Daneel collapsed.
