Chapter 784: Flame Is My Master! Empress Tina

"Aaaah, who are you?"

The divine will on the demon god's heart roared.

The person who emerged from the passage was naturally Angesite!

Hearing the demon god's will roar, Angesite paused slightly.

Instantly, she realized: the demon god's will on the heart could not sense conditions within the Dark Abyss.

The creature named Simba inside the Dark Abyss had once had his heart punched clean through to the Continent of the Gods; though his heart retained vast power and a sliver of Simba's will,

The true main body was Simba within the Dark Abyss.

Hence, Simba's head could sense the condition of his own heart.

And through that connection, he had directly opened a passage to his heart.

Thus, the sliver of Simba's will on the heart naturally did not recognize Angesite.

After understanding this, Angesite had no intention of explaining anything to it.

The demon god's heart throbbed incessantly in her heart, struggling to break free.

But no matter how it struggled, the demon god's heart could not escape at all.

The demon god's heart had few actual methods.

Yet to Meng Ying and Empress Tina, it was still formidable.

But for Angesite, using darkness to counter darkness was not difficult at all.

Moreover, Angesite had obtained from Simba's head the specific method to counter this heart.

So, after gripping the demon god's heart, Angesite unleashed dark power from within her body and squeezed with all her might.

The demon god's will on the heart was crushed outright by Angesite!

Without the demon god's will, this demon god's heart remained dangerous to those of the Continent of the Gods.

But to Angesite, it meant nothing at all.

After glancing at the demon god's heart, Angesite tossed it into her personal space bag.

The value of a demon god's heart was certainly great.

If some dark creature obtained it, they might even choose to replace their own heart with this one.

But Angesite naturally would not do such a thing.

It was merely the heart of a Second-Rank deity.

If she now ascended to godhood, her Shenge Society would instantly reach Second-Rank level.

What Angesite coveted was the dark divine power and rule-force carried within this demon god's heart.

Within darkness lay countless forbidden techniques.

Angesite could safely claim the dark divine power within the demon god's heart for herself.

Some dark deities even chose to directly consume this heart.

This was also a key reason why the Heavenly Realm could not tolerate deities infected by dark power.

Angesite naturally could not bring herself to swallow the heart—it was repulsive—but after ascending to godhood, she could steal its dark divine power and rule-force, then destroy the heart.

"So strong!"

Not far away, upon seeing Angesite appear and swiftly subdue the demon god's heart within moments, Empress Tina's eyes narrowed.

On Angesite, she felt a certain pressure.

"Dark elf?"

Empress Tina murmured.

Dark elves were even more evil than fallen elves.

So even though Angesite had instantly obliterated the demon god's will and seized the demon god's heart, Empress Tina did not relax—she instead faced her as if confronting a dire enemy.

The demon god's heart, though a divine artifact, was merely a heart—its methods were limited, making it easier to handle.

But if it were a dark elf of equal rank, that meant a grueling battle.

Though Empress Tina also understood that using darkness against darkness could sometimes be easier.

But Angesite's effortless subjugation of the demon god's heart revealed methods so advanced that Empress Tina felt a profound threat.

"Under the suppression of the Continent of the Gods' laws, such terrifying energy fluctuations—she must be at least Third Rank, possibly Fourth Rank."

Empress Tina silently estimated Angesite's strength.

Though Angesite appeared to be a dark elf to her, Angesite had not yet shown any overt hostility.

Empress Tina did not act rashly.

Beside Empress Tina, Meng Ying was equally on guard.

Meng Ying did not know Angesite.

Yet inexplicably, Meng Ying sensed a faint familiar aura from Angesite.

It was precisely this familiar aura that caused Meng Ying to hold back as well.

Both watched Angesite warily.

Then they saw the dark aura rapidly recede from Angesite's body.

Immediately afterward, an overwhelming surge of pure light radiated forth.

As if the previous Angesite had merely worn a cloak of darkness, or been enveloped by dark energy.

Now, she had broken free from the dark encirclement!

"Huh? Not a dark elf!"

Empress Tina exclaimed softly.

She exchanged a glance with Meng Ying.

"No one knows where that passage came from, but the aura within is profoundly dark—could she have gone to the Dark Abyssal Prison? Has she stayed there too long, thus being shrouded in darkness, appearing like a Dark Elf?"

Empress Tina made a guess.

Even with her knowledge, she could not discern the true reason Angest could instantly shift from darkness to light.

The Dark Abyssal Prison is mentioned very rarely in the records of the Continent of Gods.

Few people know of it.

Many celestial deities know of it, but celestial deities do not reveal everything to their followers.

Even the Goddess of Light never told Queen Olivia of Light.

Yet, at Empress Tina's level, she knew that powerful Holy Domains had once entered the Dark Abyssal Prison.

In comparison, the Dark Abyssal Prison is somewhat more dangerous than the Abyss.

Each time a fissure of the Abyss opens, many human visitors are drawn to the upper Abyss.

But human visitors to the Dark Abyssal Prison are exceedingly rare.
