...

The war against the sovereign of gluttony has take the final turn as the most elite squadron in the entire holy city, disciplinary corps was the stationed.

Every snakeman placed there was a blood descendant of the Stewart family, and possessed strength at least at Morning Star. The leader of the disciplinary corps was the Stewart family's esteemed second elder, who had no faults as a commander.

If these troops were appropriately deployed, they could indeed reclaim the perilous situation they faced, and would at least bring the battlefront to the same level.

However, Aegnis felt a fluttering feeling lingering in her chest.

"What's happening?" She climbed onto the tower and immediately saw the disciplinary corps. Compared to the last few times she had seen then, the disciplinary guards had an even more tyrannical aura around them, and Aegnis could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"The preparations for the guardian technique have been completed!"

"Activate the technique, and initiate activation of the holy city protection matrix!"

"Rank 2 Alchemy Cannon is ready, and can fire at any time!"

Commands were continuously issued, and a spell formation that permitted free movement into the holy city was engraved onto the disciplinary corps' armour.

"Attack!" At the heart of the guards' square formation, where a large golden flag waved in the wind, a gentle but firm voice rang out.

"Disciplinary corps, move out!" Standing at the very front was a white-haired elder shouting, an explosive aura at rank 6 undulating from him.

'No, this is wrong!' Aegnis finally realised that something wasn't right. All of a sudden, her eyes widened and even her voice became shrill, "Second uncle's aura, how could he have suddenly grown so strong? Even if he used forbidden magic it wouldn't be possible, unless"

Aegnis suddenly roared out, "Be careful!"

However, it was too late.

The numerous soldiers of the disciplinary corps roared. Their bodies secretly swelled, and ghastly demonic energy erupted from them in an instant.

With a loud rumble, many spells were fired out, and the power of the guards were concentrated into one force, merging together in the second elder's hands.

The second elder delivered a massively destructive attack landed straight on the city gate. Several deafening crashes could be heard from afar, and black lightning swept across the area with a blazing radiance.

The guards on the city gate were vaporised in an instant, burnt to ashes. Soon after, the holy city's entrance was also destroyed by the spell, and many protective runes began to fall apart completely.

The holy city's defensive techniques were extremely powerful, with even laws being inscribed in the arrays. Even the disciplinary corps would have found it difficult to take it down in one strike; it was the method they were most confident in for obstructing the gluttonous beasts.

Now, however, the disciplinary corps had the defensive array's approval, and it was destroyed from within. Immediately, the holy city had lost its greatest defense.

The ones who had suffered the most under the earlier attack were the elites of the Stewart Family, The patriarch of the Stewart family, was there.

Devastatingly enough, the second elder has turned traitorous. His body exploded into a gruesome three-headed python, with deeply twisted blood vessels rooted in its irregular scales. It looked inconceivably horrifying.

Afterwards, the turncoat disciplinary corps immediately began to attack the stunned allies around them. Blood-curdling screeches could immediately be heard as the carnage began.

And that's how even before the war began the most important defensive array was destroyed. The battle had lost all its meaning and suspense.

The second elder and the disciplinary corps' guards transformed into giant serpents with grotesque appearances contaminated with power of gluttony.

Deafening roars filled the air as many gluttonous beasts immediately poured through the gap into the holy city. The surviving guards entered bloody close-quarters combat.

Aegnis' was lucky enough to survive the surprise attack and subsequent slaughter but her face was filled with despair, as she witnessed her own father's powerless body falling, accompanied by the traitor second elder's mad laughter.

...

".....Its very sad....." Freya became even more fragile, as though she would die in the next moment. However, an unusual smile adored her aged face.

"Yes very much sad.." Beelzebub clearly wanted to continue teasing its prey.

"Hehe It's such a pity that even if I brought you here to this wonderful world, you targeted me! And I didn't place my hopes on the Nefarious Filthbird either who sold me in a matter of moments or the fact that you all may fight! I set up all of this just so that all three of your true forms would be attracted here!"

Freya laughed hysterically like a manic, her gaze filled with madness, "You are all his prey!"

"What this premonition A new fork has appeared in our path of destiny, a variable has appeared! It's not her, it's someone else! A predator is coming..." The sweet smile that had always been on the Snake Dowager's face suddenly changed, her expression fraught with worries.

"Heh heh! It's no longer any use knowing!" Freya laughed wildly. Numerous sacrificial ritual runes emerged from her body like tatoos.

"A.I. Chip Initiate established program!" She suddenly commanded.

[Beep! Program #1 has been activated, initialising forceful expulsion of chaos power.] The robotic voice of the A.I. Chip sounded.

When she had made her first sacrifice to the Nefarious Filthbird a long time ago, Leylin reminded her specifically to be on guard against it.

Afterwards, she had used the installed order on the A.I. Chip to monitor it at all times.

During the few times she's been baptised by chaos power, She obviously hadn't directly come into contact with it, saving it all just for this moment!

"Come forth!!!" Freya face instantaneously flushed purple. A grey layer of filth suddenly emerged from the hair follicles beneath her skin. Even the chaos power that had dug its way into her cells had been forcefully removed. In just a moment, she was clean.

*Bang!* A sacrificial spell formation emerged. The rune of the Nefarious Filthbird in the centre suddenly shattered, and an enraged cry of a bird could be heard.

"I offer the power of the Nefarious Filthbird as sacrifice! Mighty Purgatory Will, please descend!" Freya didn't wasted her time as if following orders in a practiced unconcerned manner, her gaze was incomparably fervent, yet it was also filled with her extreme longing. These completely contradictory emotions made her eyes look pitiable.

*Buzz!* An incomparably vast sacrificial spell formation with complex patterns began to surface, with the room that Freya previously resided in set as its centre.

This particular sacrificial spell formation was much bigger than those for the previous few dignitaries. The one receiving the sacrifice in the center was, impressively, a rune representing the Purgatory World's World Will!

*Whoosh!* In a flash, the entire Purgatory World seemed to have come to life. A mighty conscient, which was like the projection of the whole Purgatory World, suddenly turned its attention to them. As the violent winds howled, an enormous funnel cloud appeared in the sky, taking on a chaotic formless mass.

A grey radiance instantly descended from the heart of the chaotic mass, and collided with the Snake Dowager's attack. Although it turned darker, it still protected Freya fragile from harm.

In the Purgatory World, Sacrificers who practised the ways of sacrificial rituals only cast their sights on the seven dignitaries, yet forgot that there was one more alternative. While this being was exceptionally disordered, and often neglected, no one could deny that it was the origin of the entire Purgatory World!

"Heh heh So this is what you're counting on, Magus? A chaotic will?"

Beelzebub laughed maniacally, "Judging by the strength of such a defense, it can't even resist any being of laws"

"Mostly definitely! The Purgatory World's will is extraordinarily chaotic, doesn't possess the slightest ability to respond. Using a portion of the Nefarious Filthbird's energy is only able to attract its attention, the protective powers that are casted on will not be able to protect for long, much less defeat all of you" Freya's voice was gentle, almost serene. However, the Snake Dowager and Beelzebub didn't seem to think of it as a good sign.

"However What if gets a sacrifice much more powerful them some fragments of Nefarious Filthbird law of filth and chaos is offered, tell me what would the outcome be if a body of law is sacrificed?" A black devastating aura boomed loudly as a severed pitch black inky hand rose from the light beam. It was the Hand of Hades that Leylin gave to her.

A evil dark energy rippled from above the shackled hand. Even those gluttonous beasts who had lost all semblance of intelligence seemed to have an expression of deep fear for this hand.

"Is this the aura of ruler of dead? Don't tell me it's the King of the Underworld? Stop her, quick!"

A humongous grey bird spread open its wings. Its voice was full of anxiety, as though it had flown over from an endlessly chaotic place.

"Almighty Purgatory will! I offer the powers of Ruler of dead and King of the Underworld, Sorcerer Supreme of Dark Arts & Curses, The Evil Ascendant HADES to you as a sacrifice! Accept my offering!" Freya eyes were glistening with resolution, and her hands moved strangely quick.

Following her sacrificial song, the power of World Wil swirled and transformed to as the Hand of Hades with the suppressing array turned into a ray of blinding golden black light, becoming one with the chaotic sky. Freya has inadvertently sacrificed both the seal of suppression and the law which uphold it along with the Hand of Hades, the power of the Ruler of Underworld didn't even had the time to retaliate as it was swallowed by Purgatory immediately after the seal was devoured too. This particular clone is not just a mere projection of the Lord of dark arts but rather a substantial part of his power as well as his law of death, hate, curse and dark arts.

Hades was an existence probably at the Indomitable Rank 8 level and Leylin has only been able to perceive a power of his laws previously, but even still it was no brainer to conclude that a substantial part of this power of such an existence is definitely not weaker than sacrificing Seed Of Wisdom. And the most reassuring fact is that the existence is thoroughly sealed without any medium of retaliation and by the time the seal is dissolved it would have been too late.

The King of Underworld was probably injured after his defeat and still recuperating from the injuries of that time, even his main body only able to use a part of his power, and with such a loss he may very well descend into eternal slumber.
