Instead, she had used the World Devourer Method to digest them and strengthen herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their contribution, coupled with her own efforts over the past few days, had allowed Liora to reach the 2nd Level of this Devil Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like before, her overall strength had increased, while at the same time, she had awakened a brand new ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virtualization—this was its name, and although its function was complicated, it happened to perfectly match its use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the information regarding this ability emerged, Liora hastily activated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind connected with a faraway place, the Land of Nothingness, and she used their connection to summon some of that place’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the previous times, when the Nothingness had descended into the world around her, this time, it descended directly into her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people, even True Devils, would have been instantly killed if they faced such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Liora’s training had granted her relative immunity towards Nothingness, and she thus suffered no harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, a strange change began to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if influenced by the insubstantial power of Nothingness, her cells began to transform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned immaterial, as if they had jumped into a higher dimension, becoming unreachable by normal means in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the outside world, her transformation was quite obvious, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body turned illusory, rippling as if it were the surface of a lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s transformation seemed complicated. But from the moment she reacted to the moment Virtualization was activated, less than a second had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidence of this was that although the cannonballs had gotten closer, they had yet to reach her location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they were actually extremely close by now. Or to be more accurate, they had traversed ninety-nine percent of the distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Liora’s body turned virtual, the thousands of projectiles finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they existed in a different dimension, they passed straight through the figure without harming her, landing on the land below her instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the aftermath and Liora’s own figure were concealed by the rapidly flickering lights, making it impossible for one to detect the final outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affected by the blow’s power, other people’s consciousness was unable to investigate this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Liora, who stood at the very epicenter of the attack yet remained intact, was able to spread her consciousness around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t rush to emerge, but instead remained motionless, waiting for the opportunity to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that opportunity soon came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, she felt an extremely powerful aura reach her location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes flickered. After a brief moment of hesitation, she made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A halberd made of Nothingness formed in her hands once again, and when the Duke had gotten close enough, she rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flicker, she appeared in the air, above the clueless Greater Devil. Her demonic energy surged while her muscles tensed violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as if she felt that this was not enough, her eyes shone with ruthlessness. The Myriad Devils Body was activated under her control, further boosting her own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body cracked while her veins began to pop like broken threads, as if she were a balloon that was about to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora ignored all of these, however.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes reflected Duke Bloodflower’s towering figure, and without hesitation, she smashed the halberd onto his giant head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Eclipse was activated, forming a sphere of Nothingness above her head. Similarly to the halberd, it also fell down like a collapsing mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between those who had reached the Greater Devil stage and those who hadn’t was truly massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lesser Devils could theoretically consume a True Devil to death, then it was impossible for a Greater Devil to suffer such a fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liora’s emergence came out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his confidence and current situation, Duke Bloodflower had let down his guard and hadn’t taken any precautions against any sneak attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even as the halberd and the sphere fell, he had yet to react.\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.948Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f9f0cc77883633937f410618ee30f37235821464b9644feba179cbc57a70715","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-287","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-384",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
