Nightmare's Defeat

Levi wasn't sure how Hela had achieved Supreme.

But it must be related to her Supreme Treasure.

Hela's current state was not good.

But right now, there was indeed no better choice.

Levi even wondered if Hela becoming Supreme was also a part of Sauron's plan.

In the end, he denied it.

Sauron wouldn't go that far.

These should all be decisions Hela made herself.

If she didn't advance to Supreme, Nora wouldn't be destroyed by the Calamity World because of it; it could only be said that it would suffer more severe losses, making it difficult to achieve the expected goals.

The following struggles would inevitably be more frustrating.

But it was still within Sauron's plan.

And also within Nora's acceptable range.

So Levi advised Hela to leave temporarily.

But he also respected Hela's decision.

Levi couldn't help but break his own limits time and time again, burning his spiritual power origin, burning his vitality and even Lifespan to obtain every tiny improvement in Strength.

He had a long Lifespan and could afford to spend it.

Once, he embarked on the Wizard's journey in pursuit of eternal life.

Now, having seen the eternal life of a behemoth, he was already bored.

After Hela joined, the disintegration speed of the Stone of Calamity accelerated.

Correspondingly, the expansion speed of the Calamity World slowed down.

Ten years later.

The speed of the Calamity World was no longer enough to pose a danger to Nora.

Levi himself could solve it.

"Hela, stop and go rest."

Levi said.

But he found that Hela was no longer by his side.

She had disappeared once again.

The next day.

The sun rose as usual.

Levi continued to attack the Stone of Calamity.

He looked nervous; he hadn't seen Hela appear.

And so, day after day passed.

More than three thousand days and nights later, the time came to Nora Calendar 3580.

On this day, the Stone of Calamity reached its limit, covered in cracks.

With Levi's final sword strike, it transformed into countless fragments, shattering the heavens and the earth. Levi reached out with the Cosmos Hand, intercepting most of the Stone of Calamity fragments.

However, a small portion still disappeared into nothingness.

Rumble! The Calamity World began to disintegrate. From a God's-eye view, an endless, scarred circular wound could be seen branded in the Darkness Zone.

Inside the wound, various calamities raged.

No living being could survive.

Normal rules could not exist here either.

For a long time, this place would be a super restricted area.

Levi leaned on his long sword, standing in silence.

Since disappearing that day, Hela had not returned.

If there were no accidents, she was lost.

On the other side.

After eighty years of ceaselessly releasing his Strength, Eamon didn't look to be in good condition either. His Sun True Body no longer resembled a person, but more like... the sun.

His expression was calm, like the sun and moon, serene.

"Levi, how are you?"

Eamon suddenly spoke.

Levi said, "I'm fine, how are you doing?"

Eamon told the truth, "Not very well. I need to sleep for a while to suppress my Strength. I don't know how long I'll sleep. Levi, it's up to you next."

His tone was very tired.

After all, he hadn't been promoted to Supreme for very long.

It could only be said that he was better off than Hela and the Lord of Calamity, who had just been promoted.

That was why he could persist for eighty years without getting lost.

If it had been twenty years later, it would have been uncertain.

"Rest well."

Levi waved his hand, and a golden barrier enveloped Eamon.

This was condensed from the Strength of his origin, the Golden Emperor Dragon, which could not be broken by anyone below Supreme. Ordinary Level Ten could only slowly wear it down with time, enough for Eamon to recuperate.

Eamon didn't have time to express his gratitude.

He sat on the ground like an old monk, lowering his head.

However, the Supreme Strength he released, like the sun, was not retracted. It wasn't that Eamon didn't want to, but he was now powerless to control it and could only deal with it after waking up.

Levi felt a bit bitter inside.

Even though they had made thorough preparations.

The price of defeating a Supreme was still so heavy.

Hela was lost, and Eamon was in slumber.

Now, on the battlefield, he was the only one who could still move.

But he was also nearing his limit, and he really wanted to sleep.

However, now was not the time.

On another battlefield.

The Lord of Terror was the first to notice the demise of the Lord of Calamity.

Despair appeared on its face, and it roared to the sky.

Nightmare's desperate plan had failed.

It had consumed one-third of the Nightmare Creatures, allowing a Supreme to sublimate to the extreme, all to destroy Nora, but now, it had lost both the lady and her army.

"Aaaah!"

It raged impotently, burning itself to perish together with the Nether Ancestor.

On the higher-level battlefield, the Nightmare Will was equally desperate.

It had never imagined that Nightmare would face such a day.

Whether it retreated back to Nightmare or continued to fight fiercely, it could not reverse the decline. Now that the Twilight Hall Master had freed up his hands, and although Eamon was in slumber, he was not dead.

Hela's loss was another matter.

Looking at the overall situation, Nora's side had already formed a crushing advantage in Supreme combat power.

Nightmare could no longer empower two more Supremes.

Doing so would lead to Nightmare's demise without Nora even needing to attack.

The final result would still be leaving only the Nightmare Will as a lone commander.

It constantly pondered the path ahead, its heart in turmoil.

The offensive of the Nether Mother River was becoming increasingly fierce.

It finally saw the dawn of victory.

The pattern of the Four Emperors would be broken.

Next, the Three Kingdoms era will begin! ...

Coming back to his senses.

Levi noticed that the Red Dragon Ironcleaver in his hand was full of nicks. Unless it was a Cosmos-level Supreme Treasure, no treasure could withstand his usage.

"Thank you, old partner."

Levi put away the Divine Weapon and sent it into his body to nurture.

He was not in a hurry to help the Nether Ancestor or the Mother River. The time cost to solve the Supreme Will was too high. Since those two battlefields could be temporarily balanced, he might as well take this opportunity to solve the two Four Emperors on the battlefield and alleviate Nora's pressure.

He looked inside his mind.

The pure white Primal Soul was as thin as a candle in the wind.

Strands of Spiritual Strength origin continuously poured into it.

"Primal Ancestor Body..."

He took out a bottle of Spirit Recovery Potion.

This was obtained from the council treasury before departure.

After taking it.

His Spiritual Strength origin injuries obviously recovered a bit, but with his size, a bottle of potion was obviously not enough... but the council had no more.

Eighty years of fierce fighting.

Legendary-level Spirit Recovery Potions have been exhausted. Not only Spirit Recovery, but also many similar Divine Medicines were stretched thin, and replenishment could not keep up with consumption.

"Thousand Mountains Undying..."

Thinking of these seniors who had witnessed his Growth along the way passing away.

Levi felt uncomfortable.

Temporarily解除 the Primal Ancestor Form, which consumed a lot of energy.

Levi restored his Black Armor Swordsman form.

The cost of burning Spiritual Strength was a bit high.

Without the Klein Crystal Ball, he knew that his Spiritual Strength must have dropped a bit, but he didn't care. Anyway, he could recover in a few hundred years.

Not to mention, he could refine many Legendary strange objects after this battle.

And the Stone of Calamity fragments were also good things.

Time passed, and three days passed quickly.

Levi rested briefly for a moment and observed his body. In addition to the depletion of his origin, there was still a kind of injury in his body that had not healed.

Looking inside his body, he could find that his body was riddled with holes, and the Power of Calamity was flowing. He had tried various methods such as self-destruction and disintegration, but it was difficult to remove them.

"Supreme Will erosion."

"Although I have the Strength to shake the Supreme Will, my level is not as good. If I want to remove these Strength, I can only use time to wear it away, or wait until I set foot on the Supreme Will."

"This is really troublesome."

Levi didn't pay attention to these hidden injuries for the time being.

The erosion of the Calamity Power was chronic for him, and it wouldn't affect his combat power in the short term. As long as he ended this war quickly and recuperated well, he would be fine.

After confirming that he was fine.

Levi stepped into the Chaos Dimension.

The great tomb surrounded by Black Qi lay across the void.

The Red Lotus Dragon, surrounded by Corpse Flame, was resurrected, and several mythical behemoths besieged the Black and White Nether Emperor. The Nether Emperor's aura of life and death lingered on the two Netherworld artifacts, strangling the behemoths.

The battle between the Third Nether Emperor and the Death Monarch had lasted for eighty years. The Black and White Nether Emperor had the upper hand most of the time, but it was also difficult to take down the Death Monarch.

"Lost is dead, and Calamity is also dead. Is my Nightmare really doomed?" A battle destined to be lost made the Death Monarch's aura more and more decadent.

But it didn't dare to disobey the Nightmare's Will.

It could only hold on until now.

The Black and White Nether Emperor said, "Surrender, if you sincerely join my Netherworld, the Mother River will protect your life, you don't need to worry about the Lord of Terror and the Nightmare's Will."

The Death Monarch sneered, "What do you take me for? I am the first living being born from the World Creation of the Supreme Will. In terms of antiquity, I am even above the Lord of Terror!"

As one of the Four Emperors, it had its own pride.

It would not betray its father! Thinking of this, it looked at the Ignorance Monarch.

Ignorance was fighting the Will of Azure Sky in full swing.

Logically speaking, the Barbarian Ancestor walked the path of faith Totem, and the loss of a Level Ten Barbarian Lord weakened its Strength compared to eighty years ago, so it should be easier to fight.

But that guy, as one of the Four Emperors.

Was actually finding it more and more difficult to fight.

With this thought in mind, the Death Monarch transmitted a message, "Ignorance, what are your plans next?"

"I will coexist with the Nightmare!"

"Good! Living for hundreds of millions of years is enough!"

The Death Monarch burned itself, and its aura soared.

The Black and White Nether Emperor frowned slightly.

It retreated a little distance to contain it remotely, to prevent being affected by the self-destruction.

"Actually sublimating to the extreme? Really loyal."

The Death Monarch laughed and killed towards the Black and White Nether Emperor.

"Come on! Let you see what the Four Emperors are!"

At this moment, this battlefield suddenly became quiet.

A pure white and flawless giant palm intruded between heaven and earth, Chaos Power giving birth to Earth-Fire Wind-Water, Frost Thunder… Beneath the giant palm, all living things were conceived!

"Legendary Spell · Cosmos Hand!"

Boom! A world-shaking strike sent the Death Monarch, whose momentum had reached its peak, into the void turbulence. Before long, a listless figure emerged in a sorry state.

The Death Monarch's expression changed.

"Chaos Emperor."

With just one palm, it had crippled him after his power-up. And this was Levi in a weakened state, with his spiritual power source depleted… The difference was clear.

Sensing Levi's approach.

The Ignorance Monarch knew that the Nightmare was bound to be defeated in this battle.

The two Nightmare Supremes might be able to protect themselves, but it would be difficult to cover the retreat of so many Nightmare Lords. In other words, it could execute the Stone Slab's Plan A.

The Nightmare was finished.

The best outcome would be only the two Supremes surviving in a desperate struggle.

Even the Nightmare World, their base, could not be defended, so what future could they speak of?

Thinking of this, the Ignorance Monarch suddenly shouted loudly:

"I am willing to submit to Nora, and from now on sever all ties with the Nightmare!"

As it spoke, it suddenly raised an invisible blade and slashed at itself.

An invisible thread was severed, the connection between it and the Nightmare Will. Its face was pale, its aura plummeted, and it could only maintain a Level Ten late-stage level.

It was no longer worthy of being called one of the Four Emperors.

Only in this way could Nora believe its sincerity.

The Will of Azure Sky's expression faltered, obviously not expecting this outcome.

To show its sincerity, the Ignorance Monarch instantly rushed towards the Death Monarch.

Under Levi's fierce offensive, it was in imminent danger.

Boom! A giant sword conjured from Idiotic Power stabbed into the Death Monarch's back.

The latter revealed an unbelievable expression, questioning, "Aren't you supposed to live and die with the Nightmare?"

The Ignorance Monarch said expressionlessly, "Yes, I will live and die with the Nightmare. Don't you understand? The Nightmare Will may die, but the Nightmare World is already a part of this universe.

It's just changing masters.

I am still a Nightmare denizen!"

The Death Monarch, upon hearing this, vomited blood in anger.

"You… you betrayed the Supreme Will?!"

The Ignorance Monarch was too lazy to argue, and the giant sword churned within the Death Monarch's body.

"Goodbye, from today onwards, the era of the Four Emperors is over."

Boom! A scarlet giant dragon with flailing claws descended from the sky.

Its dragon claws pinned down the Death Monarch, and a destructive dragon breath spewed forth!

After a stick of incense's time, the Death Monarch no longer had any breath.

Dragon Flame burned out a void passage stretching a million miles, swirling with heat waves.

Lyon appeared on horseback, taking away the Death Monarch's True Spirit.

"Ignorance! You will not die a good death!"

The True Spirit was still cursing, but Lyon taught it a lesson before sealing it away.

A dazzling crystal of Death floated in the sky.

Levi collected the Death Monarch's remains and spoils of war.

The Ignorance Monarch knelt on the ground, lowering his head.

"Greetings, Emperor!"

Levi summoned the Supreme Council Round Table and had the Ignorance Monarch swear allegiance again.

The Ignorance Monarch hesitated for a moment, but ultimately made a life-and-death oath.

Levi praised, "Not bad, though you are called Ignorance, you see far ahead."

The Ignorance Monarch said, "The times have changed, and some old things should indeed be eliminated."

Levi said, "Continue to fight. If you can bring more Monarchs to submit, consider it atonement for your crimes. When the Nightmare World opens a new sky in the future, you will have a share in the merit."

The Ignorance Monarch said, "Alright, I will try my best."

Levi watched the Ignorance Monarch leave, pondering in his heart.

Nora's losses in this battle are not small. If we can replenish them with Nightmare Monarchs, that would be good. Even if they have some ulterior motives, as long as they can be used to resist the Abyss, there is no problem... I just won't entrust them with important tasks.

These Monarchs are all extra personnel.

Before the Nightmare Will is completely eliminated, they will not participate in the Nora Supreme Council.

They are just slaves, tools.

With this, of the Nightmare Four Emperors, three are dead and one has surrendered.

The news quickly spread throughout the battlefield, shocking everyone.

"Hahaha, the Four Emperors are gone!"

"The Nightmare is not to be feared!"

"The time for a counterattack has come, everyone hold on!"

On the battlefield, the morale of Nora and Netherworld experts was greatly boosted.

"Damn Ignorance, actually betraying the Nightmare!"

The Lord of Terror was incomparably enraged, his mind shaken.

Looking around, the Nightmare had lost nearly 120 Level Ten powerhouses.

The Four Emperors were absent, and several top-tier experts had also died.

On the other hand, the opponent's offensive was becoming more and more fierce.

Morale is truly important in war! The Nether Ancestor also took the opportunity to mock:

"Nightmare is finished."

The scales of victory in the war were completely tilted towards Nora's side, unless another behemoth joined, otherwise no one could turn the tide.

But the Abyss had not yet arrived.

The Star Realm had fallen into the Zerg chaos for the second time.

Other Demons and Monsters were not enough to change anything.

The Nether Ancestor shouted: "People of Nightmare, all those who surrender at this time, we can give you the opportunity to continue to survive in the Nightmare World... otherwise, you will die completely, with no afterlife!"

The words spread throughout the battlefield.

Countless Nightmare Creatures being besieged heard it.

The Lord of Terror said in shock and anger:

"Who dares to surrender? I will be the first to kill it!"

The Nether Ancestor said: "You can't even get past me!"

At the same time.

The Chaos Emperor, wearing a pure white Wizard robe and a crown, manifested his Dharma Body.

His deep voice also rang out.

"Lenience for those who surrender, severity for those who resist!"

These vast numbers of Nightmare Creatures were undoubtedly the best cannon fodder. If they could be subdued, they would be of great use in resisting the Abyss, and could effectively reduce the losses of civilization.

The Lord of Terror said:

"Nightmare will not be defeated! We are primordial beings that have existed since ancient times! We compete with the Star Realm, we shatter shadows, Nightmare will never perish!"

It panicked, even the Four Emperors had surrendered.

More of the other middle and lower levels would only surrender. What's more, Nightmare had cruelly sacrificed a third of the Nightmare Creatures some time ago.

These would definitely affect morale.

"I surrender, I surrender!"

The Sloth Demon Lord didn't know where he came from, and said quickly.

He had originally hidden to escape the war, but was discovered by Zarathus, and then chased by him for most of the universe.

It was truly a dead end.

Returning to the Nightmare, there's that freak Finger again.

There's no choice, it has returned to the Nora battlefield once more.

Zarathus stopped, his thoughts clear.

For a long time, the Shadow World has been colonized and humiliated by the Nightmare.

Today, the roles are finally reversed, and they have vented their anger.

"Good, you are also very sensible."

Levi stared at the Sloth Demon Lord as it swore its oath.

The Sloth Demon Lord could finally catch its breath.

"Actually, I don't want to fight... I was forced to."

After expressing its loyalty, it joined forces with the Ignorance Monarch to persuade others to surrender.

So far, of the Seven Demon Lords, six are dead and one has surrendered.

The Nightmare Four Emperors and the Seven Sin Demon Lords, as the top powerhouses of the Nightmare, have dominated the ages, and in eras where the Supreme does not appear, they are the highest authority.

But now, all of that has become history.

This is bound to be a day recorded in history! The surrender of the high-level officials has played a very good demonstration role.

Next, Nightmare Creatures surrendered one after another.

There are many Nightmare Overlords, and even Monarchs.

The Lord of Terror was furious.

"Outrageous! Outrageous!"

It looked towards the battle in a higher dimension.

"Supreme Will, please make a decision!"

Continuing to fight now will obviously lead to certain defeat.

In its opinion, it would be better to retreat temporarily.

As for whether to return to the Nightmare or hide somewhere, that remains to be seen.

In any case, first preserve the living forces.

If the Nightmare Will is not destroyed, those people will find it difficult to completely control the Nightmare World.

After all, the world is the body of the will.

As for the plundered resources, there is no way to avoid that.

The Nightmare Will, which is fighting against the Nether Mother River, is also gradually losing its strength.

Strictly speaking, all Nightmare Creatures are its children.

But now, many of these descendants have betrayed it.

This feeling filled it with anger and humiliation.

"Is my era truly coming to an end?"

Nightmare Will was unwilling to accept this.

But it could only accept reality.

"Full army retreat!"

Nightmare Will burned a large portion of its origin power in exchange for a brief sublimation. With every gesture, it could shake the universe, and ultimately break free from the Mother River's constraints.

This almost caused it to fall to Level Eleven mid-stage. In an instant, Nightmare Will rolled up the Flesh Palace, taking some of the closest Lords with it, and disappeared without a trace.

The Nether Mother River scattered thousands of dim yellow river waters, probing into all parts of the universe.

In the end, it failed to find Nightmare Will.

A wily rabbit has three burrows.

In the early days of the Nightmare World's establishment, in order to contend with the Star Realm and as a precaution, Nightmare Will must have found a hiding place outside the Nightmare World for protection.

It certainly wouldn't be found in a short time.

However, the universe was only so big to the Mother River. With its branches spanning the Multiverse, finding it was only a matter of time.

On the other side.

The Lord of Terror unleashed its power at the same time, forcing Nether Ancestor to retreat before withdrawing.

The escape of two Supreme combatants was undoubtedly shocking.

At this point, all Nightmare Creatures knew:

They had lost.

Nightmare was finished.

For a time, everyone was panic-stricken, and more and more middle and lower levels began to surrender.

They had no way to leave the Nightmare World for long.

Rather than hiding, it was better to change flags and choose a new master!

Of course, more Nightmare Creatures fled in all directions.

Some fled to the Multiverse, hiding in the dreams of living beings.

More of them returned to the familiar Nightmare World.

The Nightmare Lords ran the fastest. The two Supremes created opportunities specifically for them. They each used their means to force back the Nora experts, and in an instant, more than 180 of them were gone. Lords such as the Oblivion Monarch, at the peak of Level Ten, also quickly withdrew, their whereabouts unknown.

Nora and Netherworld experts tried to intercept them as much as possible. Levi, Nether Ancestor, and even the Mother River personally took action, ultimately leaving 101 Lord-level powerhouses on the battlefield.

"Surround them all, don't let a single one escape!"

Now that the offense and defense had switched, coupled with some surrendered Lords, Nora's side had nearly three hundred Level Ten elites, making it easy to deal with these Lords.

These hundred-plus Lords were utterly desperate.

They didn't have time to escape, and were abandoned here. The Mother River personally intervened, using its power to bully the weak, forming a barrier with its vast river water to imprison them.

The Nether Ancestor and the Chaos Emperor were both aggressive.

With three Supremes working together, they didn't stand a chance.

As for living and dying together with Nightmare? Didn't you see the boss already slipped away?

The Ignorance Monarch and the Sloth Demon Lord appeared and said:

"Everyone, surrender, the situation is over."

Levi said, "The Mother River is here, you have no possibility of escaping. Life or death, it's all up to you. I'll give you a day to consider."

What followed was an agonizing 24 hours.

In the end, all 101 Lords surrendered! They groveled on the ground, completely devoid of the dignity of behemoths.

At this moment, they fell from the sky to the mortal world, becoming prisoners of war.

This was an unimaginable day.

Levi specially summoned Finger.

Finger made them swear a double oath of Lord Allegiance and the Oath Sword.

Plus the Round Table of the Council, totaling three oaths.

The Nether Ancestor asked:

"What should be done with these Lords? Should Finger take them to Nightmare?"

Levi said, "Not for now, just leave them here in Nora."

The Nightmare Will and the Lord of Terror were still at large.

Without resolving them, the Nightmare World would not be safe. He feared that the Nightmare Will would use special means to control these Lords again.

After all, they were all nurtured by the Nightmare World.

On the battlefield, the battle groups cleaned up the mess.

Levi said loudly: "We have initially achieved victory in the war, but there are still two Supremes and two hundred Lords leading the Nightmare remnants that have not been eliminated.

Everyone quickly cleans up the battlefield, returns to Nora to rest, settles the dead, heals the wounded, and digests the spoils of war. Soon, we will launch a second wave of war.

Next, we will divide our forces into two groups.

One group will go to the Nightmare World, and together with the Twilight Legion, quickly wipe out the remnants who fled to Nightmare, collect resources, and make up for the war consumption.

The other group will track down the traces of the Nightmare remnants, no matter where they hide, we will hunt them down to the end, until the Nightmare Will and the Lord of Terror are eliminated!"

We should pursue the defeated enemy with remaining courage, and not learn from Overlord to gain a false reputation! Letting such a scourge remain outside, Nora will never be at peace.

"Emperor!"

"Emperor!"

"Grand Council President!"

Countless cheers echoed in the darkness.

No matter what, Nora had won.

In eighty years, they had annihilated 108 Monarchs, 1364 Overlords, and even the Supreme Will, which had consumed one-third of the Nightmare's creatures, was erased.

The behemoth Nightmare had been cut down by half its Strength.

Looking at Nora's side.

As of now, the deaths and injuries at Level Ten were only 28, and Level Nine were just over 360.

In a war of civilizations, this was a minimal loss.

Unprecedented, and unmatched by those to come.

Of course, the Ancient Tower's teleportation function was indispensable.

Otherwise, Nora's losses in this battle would have at least doubled.

Everyone saw the efforts of the Grand Council President.

For eighty years, he transformed into a Dragon-Headed Giant, in the center of the most dangerous Calamity World, withstanding the Supreme Will's offensive, and forcibly erased the Lord of Calamity!

He was only Level Ten.

And there was Hela of the Void Sanctuary.

Although she only briefly set foot at the Supreme level.

She was as dazzling as a shooting star.

Without her, Nora's losses would have been immeasurable.

Everyone who sacrificed in this war deserves to be remembered!

A month later.

The battlefield returned to calm.

Only the legions responsible for cleaning up were still looking for spoils of war.

The Nether Mother River and the Nether Ancestor returned to the Netherworld to recuperate.

The Nether Ancestor conveniently killed the Water Demon Lord with a single sword.

This one had been trapped in the Eight Trigrams Formation for a full eighty years, which was miserable enough.

Gargamel got another great opportunity.

With the help of the Nether Ancestor, his Demon Sealing Book welcomed a heavyweight member: the Water Demon Lord.

However, his cultivation was not enough, so he did not dare to use it for the time being, fearing backlash. When he was promoted to a seasoned Tenth Ring, he would be able to barely control this Demon Lord.

In this way, he was also a top powerhouse-level combatant.

The Nether Ancestor Hall also returned to the Netherworld.

The Mother River returned to calm, while also not forgetting to search for traces of the Nightmare Will.

As long as it could inflict another heavy blow, the Nightmare would fall to the mid-Level Eleven, lose the qualification to become a behemoth, and would no longer be able to be mentioned in the same breath as it.

The Nether Ancestor soaked in the spring water.

Her mood was not very good, because her only daughter was lost.

From beginning to end, Hela had not spoken to her.

The Sauron's Sayings on the table shimmered with a faint light.

The Nether Ancestor took it over, opened it, and her eyes froze.

Suddenly, a smile that had not appeared for countless years emerged.

[Madam, I will find Hela.]
