Chapter 530: Different Fathers, Different Mothers, Yet Siblings

【Heavenly Sovereign】.

Li Ang was unaware that an organization called the 【Anti-Longshentong Alliance】 had emerged in the outside world; even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared—right now, he was digesting the gains from his previous battle.

The Underworld held little to say; since the Divine Destruction Tools still had certain material requirements, Li Ang could not possibly turn every demon and fallen angel into 【Divine Destruction Tools】.

Fortunately, both demons and fallen angels had no shortage of high-end combatants, so the final number of Divine Destruction Tools produced was sufficient to match the Norse pantheon.

Perhaps because the lives of ordinary demons under his command were not threatened, Sazex and the others' resistance was not as fierce as Li Ang had imagined.

The only thing that surprised Li Ang was that the Fallen Angel Viceroy Azazel accepted being forged into a Divine Destruction Tool with startling calmness, even volunteering to help him research them.

Looking at the middle-aged man before him prattling on, Li Ang rubbed his temples and waved his hand: "Go ahead and research—if you want, but you're in charge of daily maintenance."

"Thank you, Your Holiness!"

At these words, Azazel's eyes lit up instantly, and he prepared to go tend to the Divine Destruction Tools already fused into the 【Hundred Forms Forging · Divine Weapon (Underworld Version)】.

Li Ang had no concern that this Fallen Angel Viceroy could reverse-engineer the technology during routine maintenance and break free from his control.

Not to mention the extreme difficulty of a technique created by two sixth-tier masters, Izze and Manfred; after the Underworld was "consumed" by 【Heavenly Sovereign】, his control over this plane had reached an unprecedented and unsurpassable level.

With the dual surveillance of 【Great Luo Insight】 and 【Zhou Tian's Principle of Transformation】, not even the faintest ripple could escape his notice—especially since he had added extra layers using 【Dual Complete Hands】 during the forging of the Divine Destruction Tools.

Betrayal? Impossible.

After dismissing Azazel, Li Ang turned to the container before him, filled with vast quantities of crimson liquid.

These were the demon bloods he had collected during the forging of Divine Destruction Tools, but after experimentation, he found he could no longer increase the concentration of his own demon bloodline.

Come to think of it, he'd drunk plenty of blood these days, originally hoping it might trigger some vampire-like profession—but nothing happened in the end, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

He had hoped that if he could obtain a vampire-related profession, he might be able to guide Danika once he returned to the main world.

Thinking of this, Li Ang sighed and used an ice spell to freeze the blood, planning to use it later to reinforce the demon-made Divine Destruction Tools.

Thanks to 【Leviathan's Ice Heart】, he now wielded 【Zero Drops and Frost Snow】 with increasing ease.

If you added the three other Kings turned into Divine Destruction Tools, even if Li Ang denied being the Demon King, no one would believe him.

Of course, besides the Demon King, he could also cosplay as the God of the Bible—after all, those Archangels now hung as Divine Destruction Tools above the Heavenly Realm.

'I feel like I fit the title of God better than most deities in minor worlds.'

Thinking of this, Li Ang rubbed his chin.

He had his disguises—but he didn't know what to wear them for.

Originally, he hadn't expected the Heavenly Realm to bring any surprises; his initial goal had merely been to give the God of the Bible a place to stay.

But after truly absorbing the Heavenly Realm into 【Heavenly Sovereign】, Li Ang suddenly realized the 【System】—the supernatural item the God of the Bible used to respond to prayers—was immensely useful to him.

With minor modifications, he could impersonate a golden-fingered elder in worlds where he couldn't personally intervene.

I'm talking to you, Sun-Moon Contradiction!

'But why do I feel a bit like the Ten Thousand Corpses Immortal?'

Thinking this, Li Ang scratched his head.

Better not go there—he didn't want to get beaten up by the Three True Gang, not when even the Ten Thousand Corpses Immortal, that unkillable beast, was nearly elbow-dead.

And despite his high stats and bizarre mechanics, he was still a mere speck before the law of cause and effect.

To reach Sun-Moon Contradiction, he'd best prepare some survival tools capable of evading causality.

'Forget it—why think so much now? Maybe the next journey will spawn a better route.'

Li Ang exhaled softly and let the matter drop.

Of course, the 【System】 still needed modification—after all, even if he never went to Sun-Moon Contradiction, it could still be useful in the main world, like serving as a golden finger for veterans like Lu Ke and Danika who had followed him since Colony 9527.

But how to modify it? He needed to use his specialty, 【From False to True】, to sketch out the design.

After absorbing both the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld, and forging countless Divine Destruction Tools, his 【Bronze and Fire King】 profession level had reached Level 18, leaving only two levels until max.

It has to be said that, with a massive amount of resources poured in, the leveling speed of this class is far beyond what any other class could even come close to matching.

'Then it's about time to complete the fourth transformation condition of the 【Bronze and Fire King】.'

Thinking of this, Li Ang's gaze flickered slightly, and a black rift immediately swallowed him whole.

When he reappeared, he stood in Valhalla, in the Nordic realm.

Watching the black-haired girl nearby nibbling a donut, Li Ang slipped silently behind her.

But before he could speak, Orphis turned and handed him a donut: "You're here."

Li Ang took the donut and bit into it—it wasn't too sweet: "Hmm, you'll be home soon."

At this, Orphis froze, set down her donut, and turned to face Li Ang: "What do you need me to do?"

"I need the 【Serpent】."

Li Ang stated his purpose bluntly—there was no need for subtlety with this cute dragon.

At this, Orphis tilted her head and immediately condensed a serpent of energy shaped after herself, then handed it to Li Ang.

She could transfer her power to others—that's why so many in the DXD world coveted the Infinite Dragon God.

Li Ang requested the 【Serpent】 only to test whether 【Saint's Theft】 could increase his dragon blood concentration by consuming this power.

Watching the energy serpent coil in his palm, Li Ang activated 【Saint's Theft】 to digest it.

Soon, the tiny serpent vanished into his palm.

Unfortunately, his dragon blood concentration did not rise—so completing the fourth transformation condition of the 【Bronze and Fire King】 still required consuming actual dragons.

'Tch, thought I could take a shortcut.'

Still, he wasn't empty-handed; though Orphis's power was modest, it had given him a fleeting glimpse of something.

Just as he tried to grasp that fleeting insight, Orphis suddenly spoke: "Can I see that?"

Hearing her voice, Li Ang snapped back to attention and noticed her staring silently at his left hand.

More precisely—at his left index finger.

And on his left index finger rested the ring Old Tang had given him long ago.

Without thinking much, Li Ang immediately took off the ring.

Just as he was about to hand this ouroboros-shaped ring to Orpheus, his movements involuntarily paused.

'So that's how it is.'
