Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 565 Subduing Him: The Crown Prince of Chaos! (5k8)

—"The Primal Demon"!
Regardless of its power, its status and level have already reached the level of "demigod"!

In the confused and chaotic consciousness of "Dragon God Child" Helmond, He did indeed sense an aura that surpassed Him from the Archbishop of [Radiance] opposite Him... no, from Luo Xiu, who is now a "demon".

He didn't understand why this was happening—his current wisdom couldn't comprehend it. It was just instinct—Helmond instinctively felt fear towards Rosh.

That spiritual level, which transcends Him, truly possesses a suppressive power flowing in the blood of the demons of the Abyss.

"--roar!!!!!"

Helmond roared, and then he spread his not-yet-full breasts and his silvery-tin beak opened wide, rapidly gathering surging spirituality like a hurricane.

His hostility grew stronger, causing Luo Xiu to feel a deep tremor. Even though he had elevated his demonic avatar to its peak using the Abyss Codex, the difference in power and spirituality was still obvious.

However, that's enough.

"Submit to me, Helmond!"

Such a majestic and somber declaration came from the mouth of Luo Xiu, who was already a "primordial demon".

Thanks to the Abyss Codex, Luo Xiu now knows that he has the power to suppress Helmond, the "child of the Dragon God," through his bloodline!

Previously, when facing Fafnir Ramzanx, the "Devourer Dragon," Luo Xiu was thinking that with the demon avatar he obtained through the Abyss Codex, he should be able to reach the level of "Progenitor" and be infinitely close to the status of "Primordial Demon."

But perhaps it was from the two newly acquired "divine birth" quality feats that he gained new power, allowing him to meet certain basic conditions, and thus, with the demonic avatar obtained from the Abyss Codex, he leaped to the level of "Primal Demon".

Even if this leads to more profound whispers of "bewitching" and "descending," one's own "divinity" and "resistance" are sufficient to resist them.

And in Luo Xiu's deep and authoritative announcement.

His voice seemed to possess an irresistible magic, and the scepter he held in his hand was raised high. The profound spirituality gushing forth from it had condensed into tangible threads, swiftly enveloping the "Four-Winged Angel" Tatia and the "Mourning Lord of the Dead" Sasser.

That caused their very essence to undergo a transformation—

Sasser, the "Lord of the Dead," is inherently a demon, and his spirituality expands and rises wildly until he approaches the level of a "Primordial Demon."

The profound and chilling aura of death emanating from Him had become extremely dense. It gave the impression that anyone who approached Him would lose consciousness and experience true death.

Tadia, the "Four-Winged Angel," was, in Helmond's perception, supposed to be a radiant and holy angel. However, her aura was now undergoing a fundamental reversal. Her holy spiritual aura rapidly darkened, and black, gray, and deep purple spiritual energy began to condense and manifest from the outline of her body.
He has also transformed into a "demon"—the same demon as the "Lord of the Dead" Sasser, whose status is extremely close to that of the "Progenitor"!

The dark, corrosive spiritual energy emanating from Luo Xiu, Tatia (who is infinitely close to the "Primordial Demon"), and Sather, from three directions, acted like three high walls, suppressing Hermond's spiritual energy a second time.

"--roar!!!!!"

"Dragon God's Child" Helmond was still howling shrilly. His repeated screams, like the lamentations of an infant, tore through the air and ripped through Luo Xiu's eardrums like sharp blades.

But now, His struggles seem futile and have no effect on changing the inevitable outcome.

As if subjected to a tremendous pressure, Helmond's tin-colored dragon head drooped heavily, pressed firmly to the ground.

“Roar… Roar!!!”

But it continued to roar, its dragon eyes, which were a blend of red and gold and were also shrouded in a distinctly deep and chaotic light, trembling as it stared intently in Luo Xiu's direction.

--boom!!!!!

From His dragon neck—that long-accumulated, deep light surged forth, crashing heavily toward Luo Xiu!

Even though His aura had been suppressed to less than half of its original strength by the pressure from the higher level, His resistance was still quite terrifying. The deep light surge, wrapped in scarlet, black, and deep purple light, heavily blasted into Luo Xiu's body!

"amber!"

At the same time, a sound like the trembling of amber was also heard, and a crystal-clear amber shield condensed in front of Luo Xiu. At the same time, a thick gray mist, like a vortex, also spread out.

The amber shield completely blocked Helmond's impact, and amber even absorbed some of it. Amber, the "Creator of All Things," whose illusory avatar was quickly separated, did not cause Luo Xiu the slightest harm.

However, deep cracks have already appeared on His illusory incarnation, the amber divine body.

The desperate resistance from Helmond, the "Child of the Dragon God," still possessed terrifying power, but it would take quite some time before He could fully gather the strength for the next profound surge.

Luo Xiu gazed at Helmond at this moment, the Abyss Scripture in His left hand was already half-open.

Having previously suppressed Helmond's spirituality, Luo Xiu has begun to "search" for His true name in the deepest part of His consciousness.

Since Helmond has been influenced by the Devouring Dragon and has completely fallen into the state of a "Primordial Demon"—even if he is only a Primordial Demon without equal power but with equal status—he must still possess a corresponding "true name".

It lies hidden in His deepest source—a mysterious, mist-shrouded mass. Luo Xiu, with his spiritual insight into His consciousness, has glimpsed it and is patiently peeling it away.

His true name, like turning the pages of a dusty scroll, was gradually revealed and made clear.

This process was undoubtedly quite painful for Helmond.

It was as if a tentacle was stirring inside His body, but He could not refuse it—that was roughly the feeling. Even though Helmond's consciousness was still a mess, He instinctively launched an unprecedented resistance.

His entire body trembled violently, and the extinguished, eerie fire reignited, while his neck struggled upwards, emitting a high-pitched, piercing scream—

"Roar!!!!!"

But as His aura gradually expanded and surged, a large hand outlined in amber pressed down on Him from top to bottom!

--boom!!!!!

Amber's large hand pressed Helmond's struggling dragon head back into the ground!

The massive dragon's head slammed into the ground once more, unleashing a deafening roar. Helmond seemed somewhat dazed by the impact, his sharp screech abruptly cut off midway.

"--amber!!!"

Instead, it was Amber, the "Creator of All Things," who resounded with a triumphant roar.

What suppresses Helmond is Amber's true form—His amber divine body has been fully unfolded and transformed into a phantom barrier, not for protection, but to block all of Helmond's struggles and resistance.

The three Chaos Spirits exerted their power simultaneously, and their individual spirituality once again suppressed the "Dragon God's Child" Helmond.

And Luo Xiu finally understood completely. "Dragon God's Child" Helmond, His "True Name"—

That is [Helmond Ramziaz, the Dragon of Evil, the Child of Calamity, the Crown Prince of Chaos]!
The true name of the Five Sections is indeed a privilege that only the "Primordial Demon" can enjoy!
Deep within His consciousness, Luo Xiu had "seen" these things.

His spiritual perception abruptly withdrew from the chaotic depths of Helmond's consciousness. Luo Xiu's perception then returned to clarity, and while still in his "Primal Demon" form, he issued a declaration to Helmond—

"Submit to me, Helmond!"

"You will be at my service, Helmond!"

"..."

"—Roar...Roar!!!!!"

Within the illusory barrier formed by Amber, the "Creator of All Things," Helmond, who had been suppressed to the point of immobility, still erupted with fierce, defiant roars.

Even though the "Primal Demon" emanating from the other side exuded a terrifying spiritual pressure that Helmond could not bear, Helmond still seemed to want to break free and regain his freedom.

But as He gazed upon the "Primordial Demon" through the illusory barrier, He also saw and heard Luo Xiu's subsequent declaration—

“I will brand your true name, Helmond.”

"—【The Demonic Dragon Helmond Ramziaz, Child of Calamity, Crown Prince of Chaos】!"

"..."

It was at the moment when Luo Xiu recited in its entirety the true name of "the child of the dragon god," Hermond.

First, a deep, scorching fire burst forth from Luo Xiu's body, burning from the outside in and from the inside out!

This is the inevitable backlash that Helmond will suffer for "destroying his true name"!

However, in his current "Primordial Demon" form, Luo Xiu's suffering from this "backlash" was much less. The deep, scorching fire burned fiercely, but it was quickly suppressed by the deep energy emanating from Luo Xiu and from the Abyss Codex.

The eerie, corrosive fire quickly died out, and in the next moment, an equally intense ghostly flame ignited on Helmond's dragon body!

"--roar!!!!!"

He let out another mournful roar, and Amber, the "Creator of All Things," who was pressing down on His dragon neck with his giant amber hand, had also started to burn with some ghostly flames on His divine body.

But amber, being a "guardian" and specialized in defense, is more than capable of withstanding these.

As Luo Xiu maintained his panel monitoring of Helmond, the moment Helmond's "true name" was truly "destroyed," all the visible values ​​plummeted rapidly.

The portion that fell was converted into an increase in his own attribute values. This was displayed in Luo Xiu's interface—

[True Name Revealed: Helmond, the Child of the Dragon God]!
[You have deciphered the true name of Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," recited it in its entirety, and borne the heavy weight that His true name carries.]

You have drawn power from the "True Name" of Helmond, the "Child of the Dragon God."

【当前生效中（6天23小时）：“力量”属性+792，“神性”属性+471，“感知”属性+968，“抵抗”属性+622】

[...] This was also the time when Luo Xiu had seized the highest attribute value in all his previous "True Name Conquests".

This numerical increase can be permanently retained in a sense—since I don't intend to actually kill Helmond through "True Name Smash," He can serve as my "attribute pool"!
Luo Xiu thought to himself, but he ignored these thoughts for the time being. Then, when Helmond was in a weak and depressed state, he took out another "divine object" that he had prepared beforehand.

—That's the [Chain of Divine Imprisonment]!
The artifact left behind by Bishop Alfonso Durant in the secret cave where he once resided was only one of its uses: sealing the former "Dragonborn King," now the "Spirit of Authority," Hastia.

Its original and primary purpose was actually to "seal gods"!
A divine artifact of the quality of the [Divine Prison Lock] could absolutely be used to seal Helmond, the "Child of the Dragon God," once again.

Luo Xiu had already researched this before and knew that the divine object he possessed was indeed sufficient to simultaneously contain the "Spirit of Authority" Hastia and the "Child of the Dragon God" Helmond.

This will only significantly reduce the original restrictions on Hastiya, the "spirit of authoritarianism," in India.

However, Luo Xiu had already brought the seal to over 80% by shattering Hastia's avatars several times. Only if it fell below 20% would Hastia's true body break the seal. At least, sealing Helmond would not cause it to fall to this level.

Luo Xiu quickly analyzed these things in his mind. Then, he infused the divine artifact, the [Divine Prison Lock], with his own connected and resonant spirituality—

Buzz! ! ! ! !
The [Chains of the Gods] were rapidly becoming scorching hot, and its surface was also rapidly turning red!

"..."

"What are you doing... Durant's bloodline..."

"..."

In Luo Xiu's ears, it seemed that the voice of Hastia, the "Spirit of Authority" sealed within the [Divine Prison Lock], was coming through it.

Clearly, the unusual spiritual energy flowing into the [Divine Prison Lock] had alarmed Him. But Luo Xiu did not respond to Him, but continued to pour spiritual energy into the [Divine Prison Lock].

That was the spirituality that had "partially unlocked" the chains of divine imprisonment—

In the panel of the [Divine Prison Lock] that Luo Xiu opened, its "Sealing India" was visibly decreasing rapidly, and soon dropped to 63%.

Meanwhile, deep cracks also appeared between the interlocking crystal surfaces, emanating a scorching and burning spiritual aura, fiercely "absorbing" something and "craving" something.

Then, Luo Xiu threw the [Divine Prison Lock] towards Helmond.

"--amber!"

Amber then emitted a resounding boom, dispelling the "illusory barrier" and releasing its suppression of Helmond.

Having regained his freedom, Helmond still seems not to understand what happened.

But the heavy burden He was “bearing” suddenly disappeared, which truly invigorated Him. So He vigorously flapped His still-developing dragon wings and was about to fly out of the palace.

He wanted to escape from here—after all that he had experienced, he had instinctively felt fear towards the "primordial demon" and towards the entire ancient royal palace.

But the next moment—the scorching crystal, radiating a deep red light, that was thrown from the hand of that "primordial demon" rolled toward Him in mid-air!
Helmond felt an irresistible pull.

The deep, scorching fire emanating from His body gradually surged into the crack of the [Divine Prison Lock] and was completely absorbed by it.

The scorching crystal was expanding continuously, and the scorching crystal surface was even cracking and separating. A series of spiritual locks burning with deep red had already bound Him!

"--roar!!!!!"

Helmond felt a sharp, piercing burning pain.

He was howling in agony, but his dragon eyes only saw that thick crimson was rising around him, and countless branding chips and spiritual locks had pierced his body, imprinting his mark.

Under Luo Xiu's gaze.

He saw the Chains of Gods—half of which had completely broken apart, unfolded, and expanded, completely enveloping Helmond within them.

Then, the surging crimson light reformed as the Divine Prison Lock contracted. Helmond, the "Child of the Dragon God," was compressed, his form shrinking and blurring under the terrifying pressure until he completely disappeared from Luo Xiu's sight.

Helmond, He is "missing".

With a heavy thud, the reassembled [Divine Prison Lock] returned to its original thirty-six-faceted crystal shape and crashed heavily onto the ground, leaving a deep crater.

Helmond, the "child of the Dragon God," like Hastia, has been sealed within the [Chains of the Gods].

Until all of this was finally completed.

Luo Xiu stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the now extremely heavy [Divine Prison Lock] from the pit.

In Luo Xiu's [Divine Prison Lock] artifact panel, which he kept open at all times, its "Sealing India" stat eventually dropped to 39%.

Besides "Sealing India", the panel for [Divine Prison Lock] has also undergone other changes—

[Divine artifact "Chains of the Gods" (currently active)]

[Blockade of India: 39%]

[The container that seals "'Spirit of Authority' Hastia (lv.92)"]

[The container that seals "Helmond (lv.95), the child of the dragon god"]

Offering "Durant's blood" can reduce the "Divine Lock" seal on India.

【…】

When the cap on India falls below 30%, the "spirit of authoritarianism," Hastia, will be released from the cap.

When the seal on India drops below 30%, Helmond, the "Child of the Dragon God," will break free of the seal.

【…】

[Hastia's Trial...]

【…】

Helmond's Struggle – Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," struggles to break free of his bonds. Each day, he will strike the "Chains of the Gods," reducing the seal on the seal by 1% to 3%. When Helmond breaks free of the seal, the "Chains of the Gods" will be destroyed.

【…】

These contents are displayed in the [Divine Prison Lock] panel.

The bottom line for sealing India has been raised to 30% due to the recent sealing of Helmond, the "child of the dragon god"—the current 39% for sealing India is quite close to the dangerous threshold.

And the spiritual energy belonging to Hastia has thus become more active. Because of the influence of Helmond newly enshrined within, perhaps a new "avatar of Hastia" will soon appear.

As Luo Xiu quickly scanned the screen, he simultaneously deactivated his "demon" status.

The moment Luo Xiu relinquished his "Primordial Demon" incarnation, whispers of temptation and seduction began to flood his ears.

That was indeed far more somber and profound than any persuasion or seduction I had experienced before.

Luo Xiu was also transforming into the "Primordial Demon" for the first time. However, thanks to his extremely high "divinity" and "resistance" attributes, he only felt a series of needle-like pains in his brain. This abnormal feeling soon faded away and eventually disappeared.

Soon, the spirituality of [Radiance] was replenished within him.

Luo Xiu was able to perform the pure and holy [Radiance] holy art prayer again, so he quickly used holy art to construct a miniature golden barrier and reinforce the seal of [Divine Prison Lock].

In the panel, the sealing power of [Divine Prison Lock] has slightly recovered, returning to 46%.

This value has slightly moved away from the dangerous threshold, and there is no risk of the seal being broken for at least a few days.

The [Divine Prison Lock] placed in Luo Xiu's palm was finally no longer so scorching hot.

"..."

"……call."

At this point, Luo Xiu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He has completed the sealing of Helmond, the "child of the dragon god".

As for what to do with Him afterward, that's a question for later.

What needs to be done now is to consider how to send the original "dead dragon cocoon" back into the real world.

"..."

Looking at the dead dragon before him, charred and almost half-reduced to ashes from the intense battle,
There was also a large hall that was almost completely in ruins, with signs of destruction, cracks, melting, and erosion everywhere.

"..."

Luo Xiu raised his hand and pressed it against his forehead.

...His lips twitched slightly; he was genuinely feeling a headache coming on.
