“Subordinate Avril greets the Lord of Corruption…” An ethereal voice as if it did not belong to the world echoed through the air. An Angel with three pairs of black wings knelt on one knee before Yu Zi Yu.

However, upon closer inspection, she was entirely suspended in the mid-air.

Where her knee touched the air, ripples of purple energy danced.

This was one of the innate abilities of High Angels: ‘Untainted by Mortal Realm,’ which allowed them to float in the air. Even without flapping their wings, they could walk through the skies as if it were solid ground. To them, treading upon the earth was almost an affront to their nature.

“Avril, is it…” Yu Zi Yu murmured, a faint smile playing upon his lips.

Gaining a servant with such boundless potential out of thin air felt truly good.

Say nothing of the rest, in terms of pure combat power alone, this Fallen Angel could easily rank among the top five under his command.

After all, she was at the peak of Tier-5, just a hair breadth away from Tier-6.

Besides, she was a fusion of the Angel Clan and the Void Clan. The mere thought of it sent chills down one’s spine.

Narrowing his eyes, Yu Zi Yu directed his focus to scrutinize her status screen.

Race: Fallen Angel
Rank: Tier-5

Innate Talent: Void Wings — Born from the inversion of her essence, as she descended from sanctity into the Void, Avril’s transformation manifested as a pair of Void Wings imbued with unfathomable power.

Unique Abilities:

Razor Wings: From her six wings, she fires destructive energy beams that are capable of tearing through any defense.

Telekinesis: She sends out dark purple energy waves from her right hand, which allow her to manipulate objects at will.

Instant Transfer: She can execute rapid movements to evade enemy attacks.

Corruption: She can make people confused and disoriented, and the weak-willed may even fall.

Void Spear: Her left hand morphs into a Void Spear, piercing all enemies in her path.

Divine Ability:

Void Light: The counterpart to the Angel Clan’s Heavenly Violet Light, this ability converts the target’s energy into Void Energy, destroying them from within.

After going through her status screen, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but be impressed.

[As expected of a high-ranking Angel who had fallen into the Void. Even her Attribute Panel us nothing short of extravagant. Still, the specifics remained to be tested, especially her combat strength… If she truly rises to my expectations, she might become one of my aces one day.]

A faint smile played on Yu Zi Yu’s lips, before he called out towards a shadowy corner nearby, “King Zerg…”

“Your subordinate is here.” Said and came a ghastly voice as a peculiar, beast-like creature emerged from the darkness.

It was King Zerg, the General of the Zerg Clan, an extremely terrifying lifeform in his own right. This creature now stood as a late-stage Tier-5 Transcendent.

At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes as he gave his command, “Take Avril to the Arena of Gods. Let her have some fun.”

“Yes, Master,” responding promptly, King Zerg cast a lingering glance at Avril.

The Arena of Gods was one of the secret locations of the Demon Court. Only the Ten Great Divine Beasts and a select group of core members were privy to its existence.

Its name was self-explanatory: a place for battles. However, it was specifically designed for duels between Tier-5 True Gods. Its defenses surpassed the wildest imaginations.

Even Sarcosuchus had once remarked, ‘This place can endure the battles of Tier-6 Experts without collapsing.’

Such a statement was enough to underscore the fearsome prowess of the Arena of Gods.

And now, the fact that Yu Zi Yu had ordered to take Avril there spoke volumes for the underlying implications.

Watching King Zerg and Avril depart, a glimmer of anticipation flickered in Yu Zi Yu’s gaze. He was quite eager to see the combat report on Avril’s abilities.

The combat evaluation, devised by the Demon Court’s Chief Scientist, Stellar Magneto, was a method implemented in the Arena of Gods.

It provided a detailed breakdown of an expert’s combat capabilities from multiple perspectives.

If Avril proved to be exceptional in all aspects, she would undoubtedly join the ranks of terrifying entities like Nine Tails and Zi Lian. In fact, even someone as formidable as Sarcosuchus was not considered top-tier in all categories.

For instance, Sarcosuchus’ speed and long-range attack capabilities were relatively weak, fairly average for his Tier.

Currently, within the Demon Court, only three beings were acknowledged as nearly flawless in every aspect: Nine Tails, Little Tenth, and the enigmatic Zi Lian, who resided in Void Space.

These three were unofficially referred to as the Three Peerless Generals of the Demon Court, representing their peak combat strength.

However, their status as the Demon Court’s Peerless Generals could not be publicly disclosed.

After all, Zi Lian’s identity as a Void Creature could not be disclosed.

With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu dismissed the thought.

More pressing matters awaited his attention, like testing another ability—the Heart of the Titan.

After going through its introduction, Yu Zi Yu quickly grasped its essence.

This ability was unique to the Titan Clan, and was the sublimation of their power that happened after they reached Tier-5. It significantly amplified physical size, strength, and defense, albeit at the expense of reduced speed.

Primarily, it was a life-preserving ability.

[This ability…well, it seems to be just perfect for Purple Dragon.] Thinking this, Yu Zi Yu could not help but narrow his eyes.

[Purple Dragon already boasts a colossal Physique. And with this ability in his arsenal, he would gain another powerful trump card.] With that thought, Yu Zi Yu brought his two fingers together like a sword and pressed them against the forehead of his Void Elf Form.

*Booooooom…* With a deafening roar, a speck of starlight retreated deep into his Soul.

Moments later, this speck of starlight flowed through his Soul and surged towards his Purple Dragon Form.

Right then, in the heart of the Nine Realms, an earth-shattering Dragon Roar echoed as the colossal Purple Dragon, spanning tens of thousands of meters, suddenly raised his head and roared.

Simultaneously, a radiant starlight began to condense at the center of his forehead.

That starlight was none other than the Titan Clan’s Unique Ability—the Heart of the Titan.

Since cultivating the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, the connection between Yu Zi Yu’s four forms had grown even tighter.

To a certain extent, they could now transfer abilities between each other. This significantly expanded Yu Zi Yu’s range of options.

If Corruption suited his Void Elf Form, then it was bestowed upon the Void Elf.

If the Heart of the Titan suited his Purple Dragon Form, then it was given to the Purple Dragon.

As for Yu Zi Yu’s Main Body, it focused on harvesting Evolution Points. Making the best use of everything. This was how he could make most efficient use of each Form.
