Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 314: Conclusion of Campaign

At the moment of Prophet Primo's death, a powerful energy burst from his body. A silver light shot forth, none other than Primo's Eye of the Evil God. The eye, seemingly reactivated, attempted to escape amidst the chaos as Primo fell. Each fragment of an Evil God could awaken its own consciousness, and this eye, sensing the overwhelming power of the Demon King and realizing it could not reclaim the three fragments from him, chose to flee to preserve itself.

"Escaping?" Zhang Nu scoffed coldly. With a gesture, he extended his hand, and his domain power immediately enveloped the area, trapping the Eye of the Evil God in midair with the forces of time and space. Despite the eye's formidable power, equivalent to a Level 6 or 7 monarch on its own, such strength posed no threat to Zhang Nu.

After trapping the Eye of the Evil God, Zhang Nu immediately unleashed a "Death Gaze" upon it. The silver eye was instantly covered in dense cracks that quickly spread. With a loud bang, the eye shattered into pieces. However, its divine nature of immortality manifested, and the shattered fragments reformed into the shape of an eyeball, albeit now inactive, resembling a silver crystal.

Zhang Nu grasped it in his hand.

[Eye of Time] A fragment of the ancient Eight-Eyed Evil God, with each eye embodying a distinct power of the Evil God---this one representing time.

As expected, this eye was indeed one of the fragments of the Eight-Eyed Evil God. Without hesitation, Zhang Nu absorbed the fragment:

[Evil God fragment assimilation success!]

[Maximum MP +8000!]

[You've gained a new talent: Eye of Time!]

[ Your "Eye of Time" has resonated with "Eye of Death", "Eye of Domination", and "Eye of Regeneration", all four eyes of Evil God's strength +50%, Evil God's power +100%, maximum HP +12000, maximum MP +12000, all stats +500!]

This fourth eye fusion, due to their shared origin, caused all the Evil God Eyes to resonate, further enhancing their powers and significantly boosting Zhang Nu's attributes, markedly elevating the Demon King's strength once more.

With his current power level, even among Level 6 legendaries, Zhang Nu stood as one of the absolute strongest. After his breakthrough to Level 6, not only had he absorbed the power of multiple Heroes and activated the Level 6 talent "Void Overlord," but he also possessed talents from half of the Eight-Eyed Evil God, making his innate power unmatched. In this condition, he was invincible among his peers, even against other legendary beings.

Upon opening the treasure chest obtained from the slain Prophet of Doom, Primo, Zhang Nu was astounded. Previously, the strongest heroes he had faced were only ranked around the top 500, such as Satoru Sato and Jason. However, Primo was ranked within the top 50.

[You've opened a Hero treasure chest. You've gained "Prophet of Doom Crystal" x1, "Level 7 Souls" x150, "Thirteen Elemental Gems" x120,000 each!]

Upon seeing the rewards, Zhang Nu was taken aback. Primo, being a Level 7 mythic entity, naturally dropped a Level 7 Hero's soul. Unexpectedly, aside from Primo's own soul, the Hero leaderboard chest also yielded an astonishing 150 Level 7 souls! Level 7 souls are incredibly rare and highly sought after. Not many in the realm of the Demon King could claim access to such high-quality souls. The quality of these souls transcends mere offerings, making this find exceptionally remarkable.

As for the "Prophet of Doom Crystal"? It is a crystal infused with the power of a Hero. Zhang Nu used it immediately without hesitation.

[You have absorbed the "Prophet of Doom Crystal", HP +8000, MP +20000, Agility +500, Strength +800, Constitution +500, Will +3000. You've gained a SS-rank Prophet's Legacy!]

Compared to previous crystals he had absorbed, the power from Primo's crystal was significantly stronger. Zhang Nu not only gained a huge boost in stats but was also pleasantly surprised to acquire Primo's main magical skills through the SS-rank "Prophet's Legacy." This included several S-rank skills, dozens of A-rank skills, and hundreds of B-rank or lower skills. Given Zhang Nu's current MP pool and magical capabilities, even if he were to rely solely on magical attacks in combat, there would be few in the world capable of standing against him.

After the deaths of the emperor and the Prophet of Doom, the battle's outcome was no longer in doubt. The Demon King's army, unstoppable and supported by a succession of powerhouses from the Chaos Federation, effortlessly overwhelmed the Eclipse Knights of the Sunset Empire under the fury of the Abyssal Dragon Legion.

Despite the vast scale of the war, despite persistent resistance from some imperial hardliners, and despite numerous unexpected events during the battle, the outcome was inevitable. With the Citadel of Eternity's overwhelming firepower and the combined efforts of the Dragon and Ent Legions, the imperial defenses finally collapsed after two days and nights of fighting. The Demon King's forces officially took control of the capital, securing every district and beginning the work of offering clemency and managing post-war efforts.

Gaining the allegiance of the capital's populace was no easy task due to their deep-seated sense of imperial honor and belonging. Long-term imperial propaganda had instilled a strongly negative view of the Chaos Federation, leading to significant resistance.

Ultimately, Han Kexin stepped forward. Using her power of Permanent Charm, she took control of the empire's highly revered Chief Priest. His prominent status in the capital meant that when he called on the people to cease their resistance and embrace the new era, it attracted widespread attention and significantly shifted public sentiment. More and more citizens had chosen to surrender to His Majesty the Demon King. Once a significant number of citizens had defected, a notification prompted the Demon King.

[You've conquered the Thunder Imperial City, and received "Shining Lunar Diamond Chest" x1!]

Zhang Nu received the notification and could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The message signified the successful conclusion of the campaign, with the Demon King's forces firmly in control of the imperial capital."
