Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 879 487: The Sun Descends, Demon God Massacre (Bonus)

The dark red sky hung low, bearing the dull hue of congealed and dried blood, devoid of life. In this realm, there was neither a sun nor a moon, not even a hint of starlight. Only the blood-red lightning rolling within the sulfur clouds cast twisted shadows on the charred earth.
In the distant horizon, flocks of winged devils screeched as they tore through the scorching sky, seemingly solidified with blood and fire. Like an ancient giant beast, the bronze fortress towered on the earth, its gaping maw eager to devour all flesh and souls.
"What are you looking at?"
Standing atop the walls of the bronze fortress, a devil holding a burning long halberd gazed up at the sky, prompting the long-horned devil, who was also guarding the wall, to ask.
Following the gaze, one would only see the cracked scorched earth stretching into the distance, with viscous lava oozing from the crevices, and noxious smog rising from the underground.
"I am thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
"Why is there no sun in Hell?"
"What nonsense are you thinking about?"
Hearing the question from his peer, the long-horned devil couldn't help but curse,
"Did your brain get smashed by a Quazier Demon? Idiot, how could Hell have a sun?"
"Why can't there be a sun? Don't you think our Hell's sky is too dull?"
"Moron!"
The nearby long-horned demon felt that an idiot was standing beside him, pondering such stupid questions,
"If we had a sun, how could it possibly be Hell?"
"No sun, even a moon or stars would be fine!"
"I remember there is a plane in the Abyss with a blood-red moon. If you really want to see a moon, go capture that plane and merge it into our Hell!"
"Ha? Then I should first become a Hell Lord."
"No, you first have to replace our esteemed superior, the mighty and majestic Bone Demon, Lord Osiris."
"Shut up, are you tired of living?"
"You dare to imagine a sun above our heads but do not dare to replace our superior?"
"Is that something you can say?"
The long-horned demon, fantasizing about a sun in Hell, cursed in exasperation.
"What are you two muttering about while on guard duty?"
An eerie voice came, like a ghost breathing cold air by the ear, yet the speaker was a towering and robust Bone Demon.
"We're done for!"
The initial laughter of the two long-horned demons immediately ceased, a thought sprung into both their minds simultaneously.
Their superior, Bone Demon Osiris, was an extremely cruel devil, who loved to torture those who broke rules and violated the law of the fortress with his skeletal body.
"Come, share with me what you were discussing?"
The two long-horned devils fell silent, but Bone Demon Osiris, who had already approached them, would not let them off so easily,
"Become a Hell Lord and seize the sun from the Abyss? Or kill me and replace me?"
In the raspy voice of the Bone Demon, as cold as though hundreds of ghosts were howling in unison, the two devils remained silent, but Osiris did not allow their silence to continue, his sharp bone wings swung out, piercing through the bodies of the two devils, lifting them high into the air,
"Answer me!"
"No..."
As if burning, thick blood dripped down, even the bronze cast ground was corroded under the flowing blood of the devil, sizzling, yet this strong acid did not cause any damage to the Bone Demon's body.
"Wretches, do you think you are capable of replacing me?"
In Hell, tyranny and contracts permeated every corner, but the deepest oppression would birth the fiercest resistance, every devil was born grasping every chance to betray and backstab their superior.
Loyalty was the most laughable thing in Hell; no devil trusted their subordinates, believing only in contracts they created themselves.
Screeech—
Just as the Bone Demon was about to tear apart the two fools who dared openly to discuss replacing him, a dragon's roar sounded across Hell.
Accompanied by the dragon's roar, beams of golden sunlight tore through the sulfuric acid clouds that spanned the sky, falling upon the land that hadn't been illuminated for countless eons.
However, the golden sunlight, falling upon the soil of Hell, soaked with untold sins, did not bring redemption, but rather brought the most complete destruction.
That was the great judgment initiated by the Supreme Heavenly God; the dying wails of devils echoed endlessly, the golden light like the spear of judgment in the hand of the god, obliterating both the bodies and souls of these creatures.
On the bronze fortress, where the Bone Demon was prepared to tear apart to punish the two foolish long-horned devils, it stiffened entirely. In disbelief, it lowered its head, looking at its own chest.
A single ray of light breaking through the clouds fell precisely on its chest, bones tough enough to resist enchanted weapons, used as a weapon to tear apart mid-rank devils, under this beam of light, melted like cheese touching a red-hot iron.
For a high-level devil, damage to a part of its body was not fatal, only a minor injury. Yet the wound the size of a fist left on its chest by this single light caused the Bone Demon to tremble all over.
