Chapter 446: New First Demon Lord, Settled!

At this moment, although she had locked her master away, subconsciously she knew that the reserve and hatred in her heart had completely collapsed.

Back when she was there, she could see her Horn Demon Master anytime…

But now…

Horn Demon Master was really leaving.

To a place she could never easily reach again—the Demon Realm.

‘I knew it… I shouldn’t have locked him up! Actually… it seems I don’t really hate him that much.’

‘Being violated by him, possessed by him, bullied by him in every way… Those humiliations, after becoming a god, didn’t seem that important anymore.’

‘And I never truly wanted to kill Master. But after being bullied for so long, not getting revenge would be too shameful…’

‘I just wanted him to taste powerlessness too, to see him lower his head, and then… and then find an excuse to let him out and continue like before…’

‘I never thought things would turn out like this.’

“Ding! The host’s mentality has undergone a drastic shift. Affection +3. Current affection: 95.”

“Ding! Corruption -3%. Current corruption: 5%.”

The system notifications rang in her mind, but could no longer draw her attention at all.

In Su Nian’s eyes, there was only the figure about to be completely swallowed by darkness.

“Don’t go!”

Torrential divine power erupted from her petite body like a golden tsunami breaching a dam!

Her azure eyes were instantly flooded with resplendent golden divine light.

She no longer hesitated at all.

“Boom—!”

The entire castle, and even the space for a hundred miles around, trembled violently under this pure divine majesty.

She stepped forward, her figure instantly crossing the distance of space, appearing before that ferocious Abyssal Gate.

She reached out her hand, a slender, pale palm that seemed like the most perfect work of art, imbued with undeniable Law Force, and fiercely grabbed one of the black chains dragging Chu Tian.

The golden divine power collided head-on with the pure demonic power from the Abyss!

“Break… for me!”

“Zzzz—!”

A harsh sound, as if a soul was being torn apart, rang out.

At the point of collision between two diametrically opposed supreme powers, space shattered inch by inch, turning into a chaotic void.

That black chain, tougher than adamantite, trembled and twisted violently under the erosion of Su Nian’s divine power, finally letting out a pained, overburdened shriek and snapping with a loud crack!

However, more black chains surged out from behind the gate, like a school of sharks smelling blood, frantically winding around Chu Tian’s limbs!

They dragged him tighter, more forcefully, toward the depths of that darkness that symbolized both end and rebirth.

Half of Chu Tian’s body had already entered the gate.

He seemed to have lost consciousness, eyes tightly shut, handsome face devoid of any color, allowing those chains to drag him.

“I told you… don’t go!”

Su Nian was like a madwoman.

Her golden hair danced wildly without wind, every strand shining with holy radiance.

Her pure white dress rustled loudly in the violent energy currents.

She stopped trying to cut off the endless chains and instead aimed directly at the Abyssal Gate itself!

A golden beam of light, more dazzling than the sun, descended from the sky, pierced the castle’s dome, and struck precisely upon that giant gate made of bones and vengeful spirits!

The holy light and extreme darkness engaged in the most savage clash.

Countless vengeful spirits let out piercing screams under the golden light, turning to ash.

The pale bones shattered inch by inch under the purification of divine power.

The entire Abyssal Gate shook violently under this punishment-like blow, as if it would collapse at any moment.

However, the black vortex behind the gate suddenly contracted, and then unleashed an even more terrifying suction!

A deeper, more ancient, seemingly primordial darkness magic erupted from the depths of the vortex, instantly repairing all damage to the gate frame, and even pushing Su Nian’s divine punishment beam back!

Su Nian let out a muffled groan, feeling a force so overwhelming it was unstoppable rebound into her, momentarily stalling the divine power within her.

“Pfft—”

A trickle of golden divine blood spilled from the corner of her lips.

She was… injured.

Behind this gate was not just an ordinary Demon Realm space; the source of that power was the previous Demon King, who had fallen countless years ago!

“Dammit!”

Su Nian wiped the blood from her mouth, looking at the figure about to be completely dragged into the darkness, a wave of unprecedented despair rising in her heart.

‘What do I do? I can’t stop it.’

Chu Tian… her master… was really about to be taken away.

Tears uncontrollably slid from her eyes.

Divine blood mixed with crystal clear teardrops, dripping down her smooth chin.

She remembered their first meeting.

In the Monster Forest, she was still a girl who couldn’t even use magic, challenging the Horned Demon.

In Flash Town, she wore a maid outfit, scammed food and drink with that naive “Chu Tian,” and completed many embarrassing tasks.

At Shadowmoon Manor, she was defeated by him time and again, bullied on the ground time and again, forced to sign a humiliating contract.

In Bai Shui Town, he transformed into the Terrifying Knight, descending from the sky to rescue her when she was falsely accused of being a witch.

She remembered the two months she lost her memory.

They were like the most ordinary couple, holding hands, hugging, watching the sun rise and set…

She remembered that marriage proposal she had personally interrupted.

That pure white wedding dress, that ring lying in the velvet box…

All the memories, all the humiliations, all the sweetness…

“Master…”

She reached out her hand, letting out a despairing cry toward the disappearing figure.

Just then.

The man who had been tightly shutting his eyes, seeming to have lost all consciousness, suddenly moved his finger.

His eyelids twitched with difficulty, as if using all his strength to try and open them.

A faint will, his own, stubbornly awakened within that surging demon god power.

He heard the girl’s voice.

“Su… Nian…”

A single syllable, so weak it was almost inaudible, fragmented, escaped from his lips.

Su Nian’s body trembled violently.

She stared at him, a glimmer of hope reigniting in her eyes.

Chu Tian hadn’t been completely devoured yet!

“I’m here! I’m right here!” Su Nian shouted back, her voice trembling violently with excitement.

Chu Tian’s body, dragged by countless black chains, now had only his head still protruding from the gate.

His deep eyes finally managed to open a slit.

His gaze pierced through the violent energy currents, through the endless darkness, and landed precisely on the girl who was crying and going crazy for him.

His eyes were incredibly complex.

A kind of tenderness and attachment he himself hadn’t even realized.

He opened his mouth, using his last ounce of strength, and mouthed a word to her.

“Wait… for me…”

The next second.

The Abyssal Gate slammed shut!

All the black chains, along with his figure, completely disappeared into that pure darkness.

In the room, the violent energy instantly subsided.

Only the scorch marks left on the walls and the lingering scent of sulfur and death in the air proved that everything that just happened wasn’t a nightmare.

Su Nian knelt there in a daze.

In her mind, only his final gaze and his last mouthing remained.

‘Wait for me…’

Chu Tian told her to wait for him.

‘Wuwuwu… Horn Demon Master…’
