Besides the eight God Rank Knights and the Saint, every single person in the Holy Kingdom was dead.

It was deserted, and the souls of all other beings, from livestock to insects, were also taken away.

Suddenly, a wave of fury gushed out from the Divine Body in the sky. It was not the Demon from Beyond’s emotion, but an instinct caused by a change of plan.

The Demon from Beyond was expecting to fully recover itself, change its Kingdom, and form new lives from it.

However, with the last hundred million followers gone, it was not able to complete the final procedure!

Angels were not like the gods. If they could form new lives in their Kingdom, they could make them another level higher.

Although the Demon from Beyond could still resurrect as it had planned, it had missed the opportunity it had been awaiting for thousands of years.

That ultimate spell it had Cast was not something that could be done easily. It not only drained the angel’s energy, it destroyed the last bit of resources it had!

It might not be able to do it again, so it had to make good use of its time in slumber.

——

The Divine Body in the sky connected to the Saint in dissatisfaction.

“Ah!” The Saintimmediately felt like his brain was about to blast open from the sudden connection. “My Lord, please forgive me for not taking good care of the followers!” the Saint yelped.

His soul was blasted away, as it could no longer handle the Divine Body’s attention.

The Saint’s body dropped down on the ground, his eyes still gazing at the Demon from Beyond’s statue.

The Demon from Beyond might have let the Saint live if it was fully conscious. At the end of the day, the Saint was still its spokesperson, but the Divine Body did not have such mercy.

The Holy Kingdom continued to change. When the process was finished, the Demon from Beyond would truly reawaken!

——

Time was running out and the wizards knew it.

“I will go to the dragons and ask them for help!” Wizard Smith declared grimly.

With the current conditions, they had no idea what might happen next. No one around was nearly as powerful as the Demon from Beyond, and even God Rank wizards were not going to do much with their numbers. They needed help!

“I’ll call the God Alliance as well!” Wizard McPhee added.

Wizard Smith couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly. By that point the God Alliance’s relationship with the Wizard Union was basically ice-cold!

They had the right to ask a god to come out of their Kingdom to fight according to their contract, but it was too bad their relationship had gone south.

“We should still let them know, so the President will have an excuse to go after them!” Wizard Mosley stated coldly.

“Ok!” Wizard Smith agreed. As the Vice President, he had the say when it came to this matter.

——

Wizard Smith quickly disappeared from the spot and reappeared in their Headquarters.

He went into a room with special Magic Circles to connect with the gods. He activated it with his Power of The Will and requested that all the gods gather at the Warding Wall.

Afterwards, he waited for a while, but there was no reply.

Still he kept calm. Perhaps the gods were just negotiating with one another. After all, stepping out of their Realms to fight the Demon from Beyond after not fighting for thousands of years was extremely risky.

Also, they would only be back-ups at the most. The Curses from the Death God and the healing spells from the Moon Goddess might be of some help, but they wouldn’t be a defining factor.

As for the Demon from Beyond, it had more than enough special abilities to kill them!

Most importantly, they were still on bad terms with the Wizard Union after what Wizard Mosley had done.

Still, they were nothing compared to the Wizard Union. They might be safe for the moment, but the Wizard Union might still come after them in the future!

——

“Wizard Smith is still waiting for our reply. What is there to discuss?” The Moon Goddess said helplessly.

The Water Goddess and the Death God’s attitudes were clear: they didn’t want to leave their Kingdoms.

As for the weakest God of Wealth and the Earth Goddess, they hesitated, as there was not much they could do.

“Moon Goddess, what do you think?” the Water Goddess asked.

All the gods turned to the Moon Goddess and waited for her to say something.

“I suggest we join the dragons or Headmaster Abel. If we do, then we won’t be going to the Warding Wall alone. I’m sure the dragons or Headmaster Abel won’t treat us like tools!” the Moon Goddess said quietly.

All the gods went silent. Although they needed Abel’s protection, becoming his subordinates might be too much.

Of course, the Moon Goddess was the only one who didn’t really care. Considering Abel’s relationship with Lorraine, matters shouldn’t change much.

“Headmaster Abel is a part of the God Alliance too, so we should ask him to join our discussion!” the God of Wealth suggested.

The reason they had not invited Abel in the first place was because the Wizard Union had only requested the five of them, since Abel was not under the Wizard Union’s control.

“Yes! I don’t disagree with joining Headmaster Abel, but we should still ask him first!” the Earth Goddess agreed quickly.

Just look at what had happened to the dwarves. They actually regained their autonomy under Abel, and more and more resources were going their way.

The Water Goddess exchanged gazes with the Death God, and nodded as well.

“Headmaster just became a God Rank, so I’m just worried if he will have the time to join us!” the Moon Goddess added as she started to call Abel.

But it seemed like it was her lucky day. Abel was just taking a rest, and he immediately accepted her call.

“Headmaster Abel, congratulations for becoming a God Rank!” the Moon Goddess smiled.

“Headmaster Abel, congratulations!” the other gods added as well.

They had all congratulated Abel before in a letter, but they still did it again in person.

“Thank you!” Abel smiled and bowed back. “What happened?” he inquired of them.

“Headmaster Abel, we want to become your subordinate gods!” the Moon Goddess replied seriously. The other gods remained silent while she did the talking.

“That’s…” Abel was not expecting this.

The Moon Goddess got straight to the point. “Headmaster Abel, the Wizard Union has just asked us to gather at the Warding Wall. We want to reject it, so I hope we can serve under you and use your name!”

Indeed, Abel was one of the most powerful forces in this world, with more than ten God Rank Summons and the dragons on his side!

Even without Abel’s direct help, his name would make the Wizard Union think again.

Most importantly , the Moon Goddess trusted him. She had watched Abel grow up, so she knew very well what kind of person he was!

“Moon Goddess, you know the consequences of becoming my subordinate god, right?” Abel asked gently.

A Subordinate God was a title given to gods who sought safety from a more powerful god. However it came at a cost, and that was opening up their Divine Kingdoms to the more powerful god!

In another word, giving their life to them!

The Moon Goddess bowed and called out, “My Lord Abel, please accept my loyalty!”

“Moon Goddess, I accept your loyalty and you will be under my protection!” Abel replied firmly. He knew the Moon Goddess had already decided, so rejecting her would be an insult.

Afterwards, the Moon Goddess reached a bit of her soul out, and Abel connected it with his own soul.

From now on, he would know the Moon Goddess’s location at all times.

Afterwards, a calm expression emerged on the Moon Goddess’s face. It was a huge decision, but unlike the other gods, she knew Abel very well.

Most importantly, she knew she wouldn’t have a good time with the Wizard Union if she didn’t ask Abel for help!

She still remembered the look on the Wizard Union President’s face when they signed their contract back in the day. It was a look of utter disrespect and distaste.

Although she didn’t know why the Wizard Union President had kept the gods alive, she knew he would come after them after he achieved what he wanted.

It was why she lived in constant fear, and never dared step out of her Kingdom.

The Moon Goddess’s actions caught the other gods completely off guard. Where was the discussion they’d been talking about?

“My Lord Abel, please accept my loyalty as your subordinate god!” the God of Wealth clenched his teeth and also gave his offer of fealty. He was the weakest god there, but he knew the young Abel was more trustworthy than the Wizards Union!

He bowed with all his respect.

“God of Wealth, I accept your loyalty, and you will be under my protection!” Abel declared firmly again. At the same time, the God of Wealth reluctantly gave out his soul to Abel.

The Earth Goddess followed. The Water Goddess and the Death God hesitated, but Abel did not care. After all, it was concerning their future, not his.

The Moon Goddess had full trust in Abel, and the weaker gods had no choice, so it was an easier decision for them to make. After all, they knew very well Abel was not after their wealth or their power!
