The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 345: Chapter 288: Main God or Demon Lord?

The sword descending from the heavens couldn’t completely kill the War Saint Emperor.

Of course, Lynn actually has the capability, as he has yet to use the Guardian Refraction gifted by the Guardian Demon God. Not to mention the mere War Saint Emperor; if he could instantly kill Victor once, he could directly kill him.

"Saint Emperor’s Sword! Damn it! Lynn, how could you possibly return!"

Rodman, pierced through by the Holy Sword, looked at the hilt embedded in his chest, his face full of shock and horror.

He had clearly prepared so many plans, how could Lynn make it back in time!

"Oh? Why do you think I couldn’t return? Just because you’ve cut off our retreat?"

With an elegant demeanor, Lynn descended from the sky, landing before the War Saint Emperor Rodman. Watching his powerless rage, Lynn asked with interest.

"Heh, you think I would tell you? Don’t underestimate my loyalty to the Main God!"

Rodman gritted his teeth, attempting to pull out the embedded Saint Emperor’s Sword. But the recognized Saint Emperor’s Divine Artifact could hardly be freed by the 800-level peak Saint Tier. After his futile efforts, he gave up the struggle, but his face still bore a defiant expression.

"Although you seem to have said nothing, it seems you have said everything."

Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the words of the War Saint Emperor.

It’s clear that destroying their retreat was indeed the War Divine Hall, but having the certainty that Lynn couldn’t return was beyond the capabilities of just the War Divine Hall.

Even with connivance from the Demon Realm, it wouldn’t suffice, because all the upper echelons of the Demon Realm are his demons, and Victor is entirely new, his demon lord wives hadn’t mentioned this Demon Dragon before.

Moreover, today’s Victor’s battle intent wasn’t strong; he was here to negotiate terms, clearly not like a demon secretly colluding with the War Divine Hall.

So what else or who could make him unable to return?

The Demon God controlling the demon army to collectively self-destruct, preparing to forcibly send him on the divine ascension!

Crimson! (A type of plant)

Originally thought the War Divine Hall inciting war for power was already heinous enough, but they could take it a step further!

Colluding with the Demon God to secretly harm the World-saving Hero—if they succeeded, it wouldn’t just be Lynn unable to return, but the eight Saint Emperors, his wife entourage, and millions of elite troops of the Divine Protection Continent wouldn’t return either.

Then war would eliminate the Light Saint Emperor Akelie stationed on Divine Protection Continent, overthrow the only threatening Light Empire...

In this way, the War Divine Hall would dominate the Divine Protection Continent, dictating wars at their whim, continuously acquiring power from conflict?

Their calculation was indeed precise, but they overlooked the most crucial point—that even the Demon God’s intervention couldn’t hinder Lynn, and the means to destroy the escape failed entirely because he could traverse the spatial turbulent stream.

"Lynn, I can’t tell you the details, but I must warn you, the era of the Light God King is about to end; the future Miracle World belongs to the War God King!"

"Though you possess unparalleled power, any Near God, in front of a true Deity, is merely a slightly stronger ant, especially since my Main God is destined to ascend as the Divine King—the War God!"

Frozen in place by Lynn’s unwavering grip, the War Saint Emperor’s face showed no fear but rather a crazed expression.

He shouted incomprehensible words to Lynn and Akelie, claiming the rise of the War God King—does he reach ten thousand levels to claim to be a Divine King?

Moreover, calling the end of the Light God King’s era before a Light Divine Envoy and a Light Saint Emperor—don’t worry about your life ending first?

But both Lynn and Akelie knew though the War Divine Hall were vile and crazy, no one considered them foolish; if the War Saint Emperor shouted with such certainty, perhaps it wasn’t mere nonsense.

Akelie wasn’t aware of the occurrences on the Divine Protection Continent, maybe still unsure, but Lynn, as a witness, could surmise some insider information.

To collude with the Demon God, it couldn’t be mere 800-level War Saint Emperor kinds; at worst, it must be a True God or even a Celestial God—not excluding the strongest Main God, the War God himself.

The Divine Realm may already be overturned...

No, perhaps not now, but has long been overturned, the Demon Dragon Emperor then voiced its dying words which fit perfectly in this scenario.

It replaced itself to ascend the Divine Tier, meaning it went to Divine Realm, not Upper Demon Realm.

Or maybe not, as it ascended divinely with its soul, possibly it was led to Upper Demon Realm, but consider its cries of "it’s all false and don’t ascend," could it be both Upper Demon Realm and Divine Realm are "all"?

Lynn couldn’t unravel the complexities in a short time; too little known information, with no way to personally verify—just to pause here.

"Given my understanding of the War Divine Hall, your betrayal against the Human Race and Miracle World doesn’t surprise me, but I’m curious why now, a year ago, without me, wasn’t that a better time to act?"

Lynn said as he approached closer to the War Saint Emperor Rodman, fixing him with a piercing gaze.
