Hearing Wang Yang's words, Eternity spoke abruptly, causing the Celestial Order to tremble.
They had thought that Eternity had come to help them. Still, to their surprise, Eternity seemed to want to abandon them after hearing what this brat had to say—without waiting for a response from either the Celestial Order or Wang Yang, Eternity left immediately.
Neither the Celestial Order nor Wang Yang could detect when Eternity left.
The Celestial Order was dumbfounded.
Wasn't Eternity supposed to help them? Even if he couldn't save them, shouldn't he at least try? Now that he left without doing anything, what was going on?
Even if they wanted to seek out Eternity, he was already nowhere to be found.
The Celestial Order, desperate and abandoned, now looked like forsaken children.
Meanwhile, at the S.W.O.R.D. base, they had initially thought another powerful being had shown up and were expecting more trouble. However, to their surprise, the newcomer quickly left.
"Who was that?" Captain Marvel asked, looking in the direction where Eternity had vanished.
"Sir, that individual emitted an incredibly terrifying energy!" a S.W.O.R.D. agent remarked, surprised as he looked at the machine's readings.
The screen showed all red indicators, indicating a high level of energy.
Even though they had already seen similar red indicators during the battle between Wang Yang and the Celestial Order, this was even more terrifying, showing the individual's immense power.
What surprised them even more was that the person left right after arriving, seemingly not wanting to engage with Wang Yang.
Captain Marvel's eyes sparkled as she looked at Wang Yang.
Wang Yang now turned his gaze to the Celestial Order.
"It seems that Eternity has left," Wang Yang said calmly.
In truth, they had always been somewhat benevolent to their kind, with many spells having ties to him. Wang Yang had benefited from Eternity, accumulating a debt of gratitude.
Wang Yang wasn't one to ignore such a debt. If Eternity had indeed pleaded for the Celestial Order, Wang Yang would have been in a difficult position and might have had to spare them.
However, Wang Yang didn't trust the Celestial Order to leave Earth alone. Even if they didn't act now, they might strike once Wang Yang left Earth to explore the multiverse like the Ancient One.
If that happened, who could stop the Celestial Order? Earth would be in great danger.
Fortunately, Eternity didn't plead too forcefully, so Wang Yang wouldn't let the Celestial Order off.
Wang Yang's magical energy surged, and scarlet chains wrapped around the Celestial Order. Surprisingly, the abandoned Celestial Order seemed to give up resisting, allowing themselves to be bound.
Wang Yang was taken aback but didn't dwell on it. He gathered purple energy in his right hand, summoning the Vishanti Sacred Sword.
Flying forward, he slashed at the Celestial Order.
The sword's light descended, slicing through the air. Yet, despite striking the Judge, there was no resistance. It was like the Judge was an illusion, continuously distorting and expanding.
Though Wang Yang could see the Judge clearly, he seemed to transform into a vortex, trying to swallow everything, starting with Wang Yang.
Wang Yang felt the power but quickly stabilized himself. Despite the dual physical and soul attack, he remained unfazed.
"Ding! Detected soul magic, Soul Devourer talent, do you want to merge?"
"Merge!"
Without hesitation, Wang Yang chose to merge. As the talent merged, he felt a surge of robust information.
Soul Devourer was a dark magic that even the god of the underworld avoided. It devoured souls, turning them into puppets, making it extremely dangerous.
Though Wang Yang didn't like dark magic, merging with the underworld god's power made it more palatable. Still, he never intended to touch this magic again, but here it was, in the hands of the Celestial Order.
"You're using Soul Devourer?" Wang Yang scoffed. "You think combining your souls makes you strong enough to defeat me? You're too confident. Let me show you the true power of Soul Devourer."
Dark magic swirled around Wang Yang, forming a massive black eye above his head. The eye opened, emitting a hum that spread across the universe.
The Celestial Order, tightly bound together, suddenly separated. The Judge and other members appeared individually, their faces twisted in shock.
"Impossible! We were using Soul Devourer to consume you! How did you break us apart?" The Judge couldn't believe it.
Their unity, achieved through a dangerous spell, was supposed to strengthen them. But now, they were separated.
Wang Yang looked at them calmly. "You don't know how to use Soul Devourer. You're just scratching the surface."
The black eye above Wang Yang continued to glow ominously.
"That's not possible! You're not the god of the underworld. How could you be the source of dark magic?" the Judge shouted in disbelief.
Wang Yang shook his head. "I'm not just any dark magician. I am the god of the underworld. I am the source of dark magic!"
With these words, the chapter ended.
