The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Meanwhile, at the end of the flesh and blood passage.

　Ollie had recently disappeared, leaving only ten members of the academy's team.

　Professor Cazell, amidst increasingly urgent research, finally found a clue.

　The information provided by the elves was of great help to him. Based on that wealth of information and the hints left by Principal Arte, he was able to make progress in such a short time.

　So far, however, they have only made some progress. To ultimately break through that iron gate, much more research is needed. Among the items left behind by Principal Arte, the "scabbard" was taken by Dark. The blood of Hermes, the god of commerce, travelers, thieves, and livestock, is in Professor Kazel's hands.

　The "Dermeter's Dress" was worn by Professor Sylph.

　Although Hermes' involvement is evident throughout this period, it was not Hermes' divine blood that ultimately played a role, but rather the "Dermeter's skirt."

　To be precise, it is the "Dermeter's Skirt" that has been soaked in the "blood of Demeter"!

　The "Dermeter's Dress," which had absorbed divine blood, seemed to have a subtle connection with the golden gate behind the iron gate.

　Professor Kazel then began to try to activate the hidden power of the "Dermeter's Skirt".

　He believed that this "Dermeter's dress" might be the key to entering "Heaven".

　Unfortunately, the scabbard of Ares, the God of War, is in Dark's hands. Otherwise, if it could be infused with the divine blood of Ares—the Holy Church possesses the divine blood of Ares, the God of War!

　If they could also saturate the "sword sheath" with divine blood, they would possess two divine artifacts.

　In addition, the Holy Church also began to study the golden key. The golden key contained hidden spatial fluctuations. While it could be a teleportation trap, it could also potentially teleport people to the "Heavenly Court."

　Both sides are conducting research in parallel, striving to find a way to enter the "Heavenly Court".

　Because those who have "disappeared" to this day are all outstanding young people, the future of various forces!

　As time goes by, everyone's sense of urgency grows stronger.

　The CD finally cleared up after an hour.

　Dark immediately stood up from his seat, signaling that "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" could begin its prophecy.

　Although he was fairly confident in Angry, an hour's interval was far too long. In this "Heavenly Court" full of unknowns, anything could happen.

　Judging from the prophecy of "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction", if its prophecy fails immediately upon execution, it means that the target of its language no longer exists in this world!

　Therefore, this is actually a killer move that allows you to check the survival status of your loved ones.

　Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur. The "Lost Prophecy" of "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" was successfully executed, and the location of Angry was quickly pinpointed. The location is still defined as "a" [be-] (c↓] [d→].

　The predicted outcome is in the direction of c deviating from d, at a distance of... more than 300 kilometers.

　The prophecy specifies a time of fifteen minutes.

　This is certainly not a good outcome.

　Even at the speed of the "Lunar Chariot," a distance of 300 kilometers would take a very long time to reach.

　Moreover, the prophecy specifies a time only fifteen minutes from now. "The disappearance of evil cannot possibly arrive within the prophecy's timeframe."

　"The good news is that we can make one more prediction and reposition ourselves before we arrive."

　Dark sighed softly and then beckoned the two to enter the "Lunar Chariot." While the "Iron Warrior" could also fly, its speed and stealth were far inferior to the "Lunar Chariot," so there was no reason to continue riding.

　Soon, the three of them boarded the "Moon Goddess's Chariot" and embarked on their journey in the direction of CD.

　And not far from them.

　The reassembled "Black Mist Beasts" maintained a fixed distance from them, transforming themselves into a thick black mist that continuously devoured all the creatures they encountered along the way.

　Among the creatures that survived and multiplied in the heavily polluted "Heavenly Court," there was still a clear distinction between the strong and the weak.

　The "Black Mist Beast" is at least at the top of the pyramid in this area.

　Once it unleashes its power, almost no living being can effectively resist it.

　If they encounter a truly powerful creature, the "Black Mist Beast" will flee far away the moment it senses its presence.

　It relentlessly pursued and devoured its prey, its wounds healing at an astonishing rate.

　However, the energy of those weaker creatures is ultimately too mixed and far less than its own energy.

　It didn't sit down and properly absorb and transform the information; the entire process seemed too rushed.

　However, the will to hunt humans was etched into its soul. Once it stopped, it would become inexplicably restless and agitated.

　We must, as soon as possible, kill humanity!

　On the "Lunar Chariot".

　However, Dak used this time to enter a meditative state.

　By practicing "Netherworld God Technique," he can refocus his energy, which has been scattered due to fatigue, and gradually return to his best state.

　At this time of day, it would be late at night outside. If they weren't in a hurry, they should have camped outside that mountain peak for the night and continued their operation the next day.

　But the entrance to the "Heavenly Court" was right in front of them, and everyone was eager to enter as soon as possible.

　But unexpectedly, beyond that entrance lay a passage with no exit.

　Now, the teams from all four factions are blocked at the end of the passage, and only twelve young people have entered the "Heavenly Court".

　These twelve young people appeared in different areas. But each of them was targeted by a powerful creature after entering the "Heavenly Court".

　Some, like Dark, killed the powerful creature and obtained a gold medal symbolizing the twelve gods.

　Others, however, were powerless and continued to struggle against that powerful creature.

　The wilderness area where Dark and his two companions appeared was not suitable for a prolonged fight. However, not everyone appears in this area.

　Even more people went directly into the city!

　Above the "Heavenly Court" there are naturally cities.

　Moreover, it was a colossal city built by the twelve gods!

　The colossal city was divided into twelve corners, each with a palace of a god, and beyond those palaces, a city-state territory belonging exclusively to that god.

　The wide road extending from the realm of the gods connects to the central city, thus forming the foundation of the entire megacity.

　The one who resides in the central city is Zeus, the king of the twelve gods!

　In the myths and legends of this world, Zeus, the "King of the Gods," and Hera, the "Queen of the Gods," are still considered a married couple.

　However, although they are the "God King" and "God Queen," their individual power is not much stronger than that of the other gods, and naturally they do not possess transcendent authority.

　In general, Zeus, the "King of the Gods," is probably like a neighborhood committee director, resolving disputes between residents and maintaining order in the divine kingdom when necessary.

　The other gods also gave him some face.

　In the descriptions of Zeus, the "King of the Gods," in ancient texts, the most frequently occurring phrase is: "Please give me some face!"

　Now that the gods have fallen and their people have scattered, the great city is still inhabited and has not been completely destroyed.

　This time, Dak and his two companions headed towards the giant city!

　Half an hour after setting off.

　Dark Deemon awoke from his meditation, opened his eyes, and looked around. He saw that "Demon King Aldridge" and "Shami" were still leisurely playing around on the table. He knew that he had not encountered any particularly troublesome enemies along the way.

　However, he listened attentively as Aurora and Lucia recounted their experiences along the way.

　The many wonders above the "Heavenly Court" are unheard of; they are special products created by a unique environment.

　The creatures that inhabit this environment naturally possess unique characteristics. Aurora and Lucia witnessed many things along their journey.

　Viewing things from a safe standpoint is completely different from how one feels during a crisis.

　There was more laughter among them.

　The "Moon Chariot" did not encounter any particularly powerful enemies, only experiencing two waves of attacks in the past half hour. One wave was a flock of birds along its path, and the other was winged lizards that inexplicably raced against them.

　But both groups of creatures were driven away by Aurora and Lucia, and the "Lunar Chariot" flapped its wings and accelerated, quickly leaving them behind.

　After listening to their story, Dak calmly looked towards the door. At that moment, a beam of light suddenly leaped into the sky, appearing from the direction the carriage had sped off in.

　Dak's eyelids twitched, and he immediately got up and walked out of the carriage.

　Aurora and Lucia, who were following closely behind, also saw the beams of light leaping into the sky one after another.

　The beams of light shot out from the twelve corners of the giant city and eventually returned to the sky above the central city.

　A gigantic halo appeared in the sky above the city. This halo possessed twelve colors and emitted an eye-catching light. Like an angel's halo, it hung directly above the central city, slowly rotating and releasing ripples of different colors.

　No matter where you are in the "Heavenly Court", as long as you go outdoors and look up in that direction, you can clearly see the existence of that halo.

　Dark squinted, recalling the colossal elephant silhouette he had seen on the Mountain of the Gods, a silhouette that could pierce the mist and be seen by humans.

　This ability to focus one's gaze, to make one look spontaneously, and to see seems to be a power that divine beings naturally possess.

　The gods gather people's hearts and spread the gospel; perhaps they are using this power.

　However, the appearance of that halo now might not be a bad thing. It means that what is happening in this "Heavenly Court" is moving towards the next stage.

　The mastermind who brought them into the "Heavenly Court" used that halo to guide the twelve people scattered throughout the "Heavenly Court," leading everyone to converge on the location of that halo.

　Fortunately, it wasn't in the opposite direction from the location predicted by Angry. The "Moon Chariot" continued on its way.

　Dark's gaze sharpened as he said in a low voice, "It's time to reclaim the third gold medal!"

　The "Black Mist Beast" has recovered to its full strength. Wherever it goes, desolation follows, and the little remaining life on the earth is completely plundered.

　Now that it has fully recovered, the distance between it and the "Lunar Chariot" is gradually closing.

　At this moment, the "Black Mist Beast" expanded in size, and its total energy was even greater than before.

　As long as it avoids being hit by special moves like "Dual Dimension Burst Slash," it has the confidence to seek revenge.

　—The "Black Mist Beast," which was fleeing in a hurry, did not see what happened to the giant eagle.

　Its impression of those three humans was still the most beautiful one.

　So much so that when it suddenly discovered one of the humans standing in front of it, it instead revealed a sinister grin, as if it were a lamb entering a tiger's den.

　Holding the "Flight Charm," Dark teleported to the front of "Black Mist Beast" with the help of "Devimon."

　On each of his shoulders perched a ten-star magical spirit, "Shami," and a twelve-star magical spirit, "Demon King Aldrich."

　A faint floral fragrance spread outwards with his arrival, and the surrounding barren land seemed to show signs of coming back to life.

　The Black Mist Beast loathed this aura. Even without the influence of the will etched into its soul, it would attack without hesitation.

　Its true form was hidden in a thick black mist, its withered and charred hands raised to its chest, its ten fingers forming a special hand seal, grinning as it aimed at the humans who were not protected by any barrier.

　The "Iron God Soldier's" "Absolute Fortress" provided too much protection, preventing the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast" and the "Black Mist Beast" from fully utilizing their abilities.

　At this moment, Dark stepped out of the protective barrier, and the "Black Mist Beast" was finally able to unleash its most vicious ultimate move—the "Black Curse"!

　A person afflicted by the "Black Curse" will have their blood turn into black mist, which will seep out from their pores.

　Eventually, his hair fell out, his body dried up, and his skin turned black—making him exactly like the "Black Mist Beast"!

　Although the human will not die, he will suffer more than death! What the "Black Mist Beast" likes most is to spread pain, so that all living beings in this world can feel the pain it once felt!

　"Fairytale animal? Kitten, reveal your true form!"

　—This was the last human word the "Black Mist Beast" heard.

　Devouring and anti-devouring.

　"Demon King Aldrich," who possesses the same abilities, will not be devoured by the "Black Mist Beast."

　Even though the Black Mist Beast's stomach was empty, it could not swallow it.

　Within sixty seconds of activating "Iron Body," "Demon King Aldrich's" defense surged to 23000 points, rendering him impervious to the attacks of the "Black Mist Beast."

　No attack could even scratch him.

　After being swatted apart several times by the claws, it roared and designated "Demon King Aldrich" as the target for copying.

　Then it discovered that with its own energy, it could only replicate the form of "Demon King Aldrich"—most of the time, that was all it could do. But it could always obtain basic attributes that surpassed the other's.

　But this time, it found that it could not completely replicate the basic attributes, and it was even inferior in size.

　Amidst its howls, it was crumpled into a ball of yarn by "Demon King Aldridge" and then slapped onto the ground again and again.

　From a distance, it looked like a kitten bouncing a ball. But each time the ball hit the ground, it caused the earth to tremble, creating huge craters. The "Black Mist Beast" convulsed, spewing black mist, completely disoriented. Since its birth, it had roamed this wilderness, and even when it encountered stronger creatures, it had managed to escape with relative ease. Today, however, was the first time it had suffered such a severe setback.

　But what it fears most is not the first time, but that the first time will become the last time!

　At this moment, it was acutely aware of the gap in strength, but it was too late.

　It didn't realize that its incredibly clear consciousness was gradually growing and increasing with each "whimper."
