Chapter 570

As the battle across the entire battlefield raged on, an endless stream of dark faith converged upon Lin Yan's virtual deity core!

Once these dark beliefs entered the virtual deity core, they were automatically stored by it—Lin Yan needed to do nothing himself.

"What are they doing?"

Lin Yan gazed far off toward the other three demon gods.

The three pyramids hung motionless in place.

Those three pyramids were not the demon gods' true deity cores, but mere spiritual projections of them.

A spiritual projection is a manifestation driven by one's divine power, projecting the deity core.

This is also the throne constructed by deities for themselves when descending in formal ceremonies!

Though merely spiritual projections, they were sufficient to collect dark faith.

Above the pyramids, the wills of the three demon gods looked down upon the battlefield below.

Perhaps they were also observing one another.

The three demon gods of these dynasties were evenly matched; one might be slightly stronger, but never by much.

If any exceeded the others by more than a single tier, the balance would shatter.

Once the balance broke, the situation of the Mabis Abyss would change drastically.

To this day, the Mabis Abyss remains divided into three dynasties—no more, no less—proving that over this past millennium, the power of these three demon gods has remained on the same level.

Lin Yan silently observed the three demon gods.

Soon, Lin Yan realized that the dark faith he gathered flowed directly into his virtual deity core.

But the other three demon gods did not seem to operate this way.

Their dark faith had to be collected through the chains of faith—black iron chains connecting the four corners of the pyramid—at the very bottom.

The virtual deity core, as a creation of the system, was indeed far more convenient than ordinary tools.

Perhaps other deities also found the process of converting dark faith into divine power far from easy.

Though other deities' cores also functioned as centralized processors, none were as convenient as the virtual deity core.

To exchange for divine power, Lin Yan simply needed to operate within the virtual deity core—exchanging hundreds of thousands of faith points for a sliver of Celestial divine power.

Or exchange two hundred thousand dark faith points for a sliver of Chaotic divine power.

A very simple matter.

But other deities might not find it so simple.

Divine power's composition is actually complex; each deity's divine power carries unique characteristics.

Every deity requires considerable time to convert their divine power.

But the virtual deity core simplified this process!

It saved Lin Yan a great deal of time.

"So, the dark faith these three demon gods gained in this Divine Sacrifice War is still stored within their three pyramids?"

Lin Yan thought.

Dark faith is not the same as faith power; this is merely the virtual deity core's terminology—perhaps the demons of the Abyss have another name for it.

Lin Yan turned his gaze to one of the pyramids.

Soon, Lin Yan noticed something unusual on the iron chains beneath the pyramid.

"No, the Divine Sacrifice War cannot be this simple."

Lin Yan made a new discovery.

Then he fully activated the virtual deity core to analyze it.

"Ivette, send a squad of scythe guards deep into the battlefield."

High above, Succubus Natasha stood beneath the pyramid, issuing orders intermittently.

She could see the entire battlefield; though she had never witnessed such a vast battlefield before, she learned quickly.

Succubus Natasha soon mastered the rhythm, continuously issuing commands to coordinate the entire succubus army.

So far, the main force of the succubus side had not yet deployed.

The main forces on the battlefield now were the demons and servitor demons under the thirty-odd demon lords who had surrendered.

Among these thirty-odd demon lords, more than ten were Eighth Rank, the rest Seventh Rank.

Each demon lord commanded tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of demons.

As for the servitor demons, their numbers were enormous!

Their strength was actually not weak.

In fact, after receiving Succubus Natasha's orders, these thirty-odd demon lords themselves had ceased fighting.

The elite demons under their command had also stopped fighting.

The Divine Sacrifice War had only just begun; there was no need yet to commit overwhelming force.

That would cause the war to escalate too rapidly.

And for reasons unknown, if the Divine Sacrifice War ended too quickly, it was not what the demon gods desired.

Thus, the main forces on the battlefield remained the vast numbers of servitor demons and the relatively weaker demons.

Though the demons within the black clouds appeared numerous, most were Sixth Rank or lower.

Beside Succubus Natasha, Princess Barbara stood silently, gazing down.

This land had once belonged to the Succubus Dynasty.

After fleeing the Mabis Abyss, Princess Barbara had never stopped longing to return here.

But even as a Demon King, she knew how difficult it was to return.

Once, the Succubus Dynasty had been so mighty—yet destroyed utterly in a short time.

Yet the strength she retained was less than one-tenth of what the Succubus Dynasty once had!

Watching the succubi grow weaker after leaving the Mobsis Abyss, Princess Barbara's heart was nearly consumed by despair.

Until Succubus Natasha appeared.

Originally, those around Princess Barbara had dismissed Natasha entirely.

A petty succubus from the upper abyss, daring to attempt a counterattack on the Mobsis Abyss—no words could describe Natasha's arrogance!

But Natasha, along the way, had gathered tens of millions of succubi, causing Princess Barbara to view her with new respect.

She had assumed Natasha would spend hundreds or even thousands of years gathering more succubi and cultivating more Hunt-Mage Queen Ants before entering the Mobsis Abyss.

Yet Natasha marched straight into the Mobsis Abyss!

And more crucially, Natasha had secured her foothold!

At that moment, Princess Barbara realized her own opportunity had arrived.

Natasha needed succubi—she accepted every one who came.

Thus, Princess Barbara smoothly planted many of her own people within Natasha's succubus army.

But none of these planted agents could penetrate Natasha's inner circle.

Princess Barbara did not need them to enter the inner circle.

After planting her agents, Princess Barbara observed and waited.

Only after Natasha had firmly established herself in the Mobsis Abyss did she emerge to seize power.

But Princess Barbara never imagined Natasha would be this powerful!

No, it was not Natasha who was powerful.

It was the Flame Lord behind Natasha who was powerful!
