Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Daniel's body was in pain, not only due to the thousand laser beams that were currently raining down on him from the sky, but also from the pummeling he received earlier from Lux's Corpse God.

Diablo had merged with Lux, carrying with him the boost in physical, and magical damage that he had accumulated during the war.

Not only that, Lux also gained the abilities of all of his Named Creatures, and Covenant Members.

Diablo' Damage.

Ishtar's Accuracy.

Pazuzu's Defense.

Asmodeus' cunning.

Orion's endurance.

ALL-MITE'S strength.

Lazarus' explosiveness.

King Leoric's courage.

Andras' brutality.

And Avernus' strong will.

All of these powers, and abilities combined made Lux capable of making the Pseudo God feel a world of hurt, and more, as he continued to attack relentlessly.

"Y-You!" Daniel roared. "Stop getting in my way! I will become a God! You will not stop me!"

"Hold My Blast Bomb!" Lux threw the Blast Bomb that was nearly fifty-meters tall, which Eiko, Glee, and the Baby Slimes of Leaf Town, and Heaven's Gate, had made in the past.

The Baby Slime didn't dare to use this Blast Bomb casually because it could easily destroy the entirety of the Ford Federation!

But, now, the Baby Slime had given her Papa her strongest weapon.

Daniel might have been unable to dodge Lux's Giga Blaster earlier, but this one, he was confident in dodging.

At least, that was what he thought when he felt his body moving subconsciously towards the Half-Elf in the distance.

Duel [Divine] x 17!

Lux, empowered by his clones, Eiko's clones, Asmodeus's clones, Calypso, Pazuzu, Orion, and ALL-MITE, all used their taunting ability at the same time.

Since they had merged with Lux's body, their Duel Skill was something that even daniel coudn't ignore.

Lux shouted. "Eat this, you Motherf*cker!"

Eiko, who heard her Papa's shout, also chimed in.

"Boom Boom Bakugan, F*cker!" Eiko shouted.

Another powerful explosion like no other made the entirety of the Void Battlefield tremble.

Since all of Lux's attacks were imbued by his Divine Abyssal Touch, they didn't only bypass Daniel's defenses, they attacked his soul directly.

The soul of a Pseudo-God was very robust, and most attacks cannot even faze it. However, Lux was different.

He both had the power of the Divine, as well as the power of the Abyss, creating teh most deadly of combinations.

These two powers combined were further boosted by the Half-Elf's Passive, and Unique Abilities, making it one of the most destructive powers in existence.

When the aftermath of the explosion subsided, Daniel, whose entire body was now covered by wounds, and bleeding appeared in front of Lux.

The once arrogant Pseudo God, who had terrorized the entirety of the alliance was now bleeding, and in pain, after Lux fully embraced the power that he possessed.

But, just as Lux was about to attack Daniel and finish him off, a powerful suppression descended upon him, holding him in place.

"I don't care anymore!" Daniel shouted. "I will kill you, no matter what price I have to pay!"

The body of the Outer God, who was sleeping at the deepest layer of the Abyss started to show signs of awakening.

The angels, who were desperately singing, and dancing to prevent the Outer God from awakening, intensified their performance, putting everything on the line in order to prevent the Outer God from opening its eyes.

But, despite their desperate attempts, the Outer God's eyes slowly opened until it was half open.

From within the depths of its monstrous eyes, a golden lion statue shone brightly.

Suddenly, a golden beam of light shot out from the Outer God's eye, and flew across time and space, reaching Daniel who was in the Void Battlefield,

"Argh!" Daniel gritted his teeth as the Golden Lion, which had absorbed a great amount of Divinity from the Sleeping Outer God merged with his body.

Lux watched as Daniel's aura suddenly rose to the point that he was only a small step away from ascending into Godhood.

However, that small step was still a step away, which means that Daniel was still not a God, but he was the closest being in existence to Godhood.

In the past, he was only a Pseudo-God because his strength had surpassed the Demigod Rank. Now, he was truly an existence that was about to become a God.

He didn't even need to get all the Pillars of Eternity to ascend to Godhood. He just needed one of them, and he would become a God instantly.

"Ha… Ha… Hahahaha!" Daniel laughed crazily.

He no longer had any connection to the Outer God, Azathoth, because he now absorbed the Golden Lion Statue.

He had placed the Golden Statue inside the Outer God's body in order to borrow its power to do whatever he wanted.

But now, things have changed.

He needed the power to defeat Lux, so he went all out and took the Pillar of Fortitude from the Outer God, and merged it with the Pillar of Justice, which was already inside his body.

He now felt a power that far surpassed his expectations, making him laugh out loud.

His soul, which had been damaged earlier, started to heal slowly, making the pain he was feeling become more bearable.

"Let's see if you can beat me now," Daniel growled at the Half-

Elf, who was hovering thousands of meters away from him. "Are you ready to die, Half-Elf?!"

Despite that distance, he, and Lux, could close that gap in a heartbeat if they really wanted.

Lux then raised his hand and placed a finger over his lips.

"Shhh… can you not hear it?" Lux asked with his finger still pressed over his mouth. "Listen closely. If you do, you will hear them too."

Daniel laughed because he thought that the Half-Elf was just buying time for his inevitable demise. However, since he felt that he was now unbeatable, he decided to humor the Half-Elf and actually closed his eyes to listen.

It was then when he heard it.

At first it was faint, but it was starting to grow in volume.

Daniel thought that he was just hearing things, and his ears were ringing due to the silence.

But, the sounds he was hearing weren't the familiar ringing of the ear that people heard from time to time.

No, this was different.

What he was hearing wasn't ringing, but giggling.

Countless giggling sounds, that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

Then, he saw them.

A golden line appeared at the end of the battlefield that soon rushed towards them like a tide.

But, this tide didn't go to Daniel's direction, and instead, went to Lux.

"We're here, Lux."

"Hahaha! We've come!"

"Did you miss us?"

"We have come bearing gifts!"

"All of them answered your call!"

"Weeeeee!"

Countless golden balls that had eyes in the center of their bodies gathered around Lux, and giggled.

Their giggles reverberated within the Void Battlefield, making it tremble.

A moment later, these golden balls merged together, forming a giant golden gate that was hundreds of meters tall.

When the gate was formed, countless eyes opened at the same time, making it the creepiest gate that Daniel had seen in his life.

He had no idea what that thing was, but for some reason, countless alarm bells were ringing inside his head.

"I already told you that I am the Necromancer of Heaven," Lux said with a devilish smile on his face. "Tell me, how many souls of the dead do you think there are in this Universe?"

Daniel's face turned grim when he finally realized what Lux was getting at.

"I won't let you!" Daniel roared as he took a step forward intending to kill Lux before he could even draw out the power that was hiding from the creepy-looking-golden gate.

"Too late," Lux said as he jumped back, entering the Gate that was slowly opening.

The Half-Elf's body passed through the gate in an instant.

A second later, a powerful shock wave blasted Daniel away, pushing him back for thousands of meters.

The Pseudo God stared at the Gate that was now half open, and froze at the sight in front of him.

Countless souls of the dead emerged from the Golden Gate, covering the entirety of the Void Battlefield.

These souls then started to sing a song, proclaiming the coming of the strongest Necromancer of Heaven.

The Necromancer who was loved by both the Living and the Dead, and was now also a small step away from attaining Godhood.
