Lange, the Night Patriarch, saw what happened before him but did not give a hoot of these people, who were just some random strangers to him. He was more interested in the power that Lin Sheng had displayed just now.
That power was not something he could defeat with his unlimited dark force because even though his dark force was unlimited, tofu was still tofu; it could never stop steel spikes.
“I couldn’t even fight the monster, let alone Lin Sheng, the Holy Emperor.” Lange used to think highly of himself, but now his pride was trampled to the ground. He needed more power and growth. He could feel that he could become stronger rapidly, his potential not exhausted.
“Just wait, and I will surpass you one day!” Looking into the direction where Lin Sheng vanished, he withdrew quietly and faded into the building behind him.
…
“Turn into living souls and be under my protection. It doesn’t matter if you are a passerby, a monster, an opponent, or even a foe. After being defeated by me and turning into a ball of living soul, your soul and body will become one with and protected by me. This is my divinity!”
Lin Sheng calmly passed through the portal.
“It does not matter if it is out of your free will, you will be under my protection.”
This was the divinity that he finally formed. It felt like something was amiss somehow, but it was handy and powerful.
The best part of this divinity was that he could get willpower from the subject under his protection. The will of the subject was irrelevant. So long as it was under Lin Sheng’s protection, he could harness willpower from them. It was even better if the subject was a believer, brainwashed by the holy light. He could get even more willpower of better purity.
So, he could seal his foes and opponents, turn them into balls of living souls, and then forever purify and brainwash them using the holy power, and they would become his source of willpower.
Protecting everything that he could see was the nature of Lin Sheng’s soul. ‘All of you are my wings’ would soon become a reality to Lin Sheng.
The moment he stepped out of the portal, he found himself looking at a half-red, half-gray sky, which used to be red in Henricqal. Battle cries reverberated in the air. Thudding from the machine guns and explosion from the cannons filled the air in all directions. It was apparent that because of the many workshops there, ammo was much more abundant than that on the HQ’s side.
The spot where Lin Sheng stood was still a small garden. The portal array here had fallen into disuse in the aftermath of the chaotic force field. But this interference was nothing to Lin Sheng. So long as the coordinates were still there, he could tear open the dimensions with the Dark Wheel and teleport himself over. It was not a big deal.
After forming his divinity, his cognition of dimensions and force fields had become even clearer. It was a new height as compared to last time. It seemed that the formation of his divinity had also benefited and modified his physique.
“I come just in time by the looks of things.”
After working out his bearing, Lin Sheng stepped out and vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.
…
A beam of golden light fell from the sky and crashed into the black water below with a massive splash.
The golden patterns on the black armor of the Night Lord were still glowing. Pulling himself out of the black water, he sat on the body at the core of the armor, half of his face had been contaminated black.
The wound in the chest of the one-eyed giant Annihilatus was rapidly healing. In less than a second, the large wound that nearly tore its body in half had fully healed.
“This thing just won’t die!” The Night Lord coughed as he directed his armor and floated up into the air. “My original, if you still have not come, I would be contaminated for the second time.” He did not want to experience the same degradation again. The state where he would lose his will and consciousness and where his mind was just a lump of mud and ignorance was more terrifying than death.
“If I were to die eventually, I’d prefer to die in my sleep on the bed…”
As the Night Lord clenched the armor knife in his hand, Shadow Dragon Whiskers shot out from his back into the void.

Annihilatus roared frenziedly as a swarm of red-eyed black dragons flew out of its black toward the Night Lord. At the same time, it struck down at the Night Lord with its fists. For a moment, black dragons and fists filled the entire sky.
The Night Lord raised his greatswords, his body bursting with golden light as white petals appeared and danced around him. As Dawnbreaker formed in his hand, the Night Lord brandished it and lunged at the incoming swarm of black dragons.
“Don’t fool around with me! I am the Night Lord!”
As he roared frenziedly, the Night Lord summoned what remained of his strength and met the swarm of black dragons and fists head-on.
Was he dying? It felt weird that at the last moment of his life, what flashed across his mind was not the girl whom he missed most but the time of his life in the Sanctum, the leisure moment he enjoyed.
“After all, to be honest, I am not the Night Lord.” He gazed at the approaching swarm of black dragons. “Not a reborn Night Lord, but a real me.”
Being half contaminated, he had lost contact with Lin Sheng, his original. He started to smell death at his last moment. A lot of things flashed across his mind. The real Night Lord was gone. What remained of him was only fragments of his soul that Lin Sheng had collected from the gaps of the dimension. He had become one with Lin Sheng, and he was summoned by him. He was now a new individual through-and-through.
“I am Lin Sheng but not all of him. This is interesting.”
Along with his last consciousness, the Night Lord lunged into the swarm of black dragons. Bright golden light burst out of his swords, piercing through everything. But after he plowed through the group of dragons, what awaited him was the familiar body standing on the shoulder of the one-eyed giant.
Lin Sheng was clad in a full set of white armor, his cloak fluttering to the left in the wind.
“You are kind of busy.” Lin Sheng stared at the Night Lord, his eyes grim and strange. The holy light silk bundled and immobilized the one-eyed giant under his feet.
“I instructed you to guard Shermanton, and you came here without my permission!” Lin Sheng looked at him with a murderous expression.
The Night Lord felt a chill travel up his spine. Stopping in his tracks, he slowly put down his swords and giggled. He then spun around and ran without saying a word.
“Come back!”
Lin Sheng willed with his mind and an irresistible Soul Shackle caused the Night Lord to turn around involuntarily and fly back toward Lin Sheng.
As Lin Sheng’s commander, the Night Lord was his summoned creature, of which Lin Sheng had absolute control. He never used this authority on normal days because he respected them as his commanders. But if he wanted to, no way could the Night Lord get away from him.
Right now, the one-eyed giant had been reduced to an eyeball-sized white and golden bead. Lin Sheng had it in his hand and inlaid it on his left shoulder armor.
“Nice. One more subject of protection.” Pleased with having tied up the loose end, Lin Sheng shot the Night Lord a look.
“Let’s clean up the mess.”
Lin Sheng smacked his hand on the Night Lord’s armor. In that instant, the Night Lord felt a powerful soul power rush into him. It differed from the holy power and even had a more powerful purification ability. In just the blink of an eye, the soul power had completely purified and healed the Night Lord’s soul.
“You could even purify me after all the contamination from the Blacktide?” The Night Lord was stunned.
“Not purification but cut away,” Lin Sheng said.
“How could you do that? I will get less intelligent!” The Night Lord was shocked.
“It’s not like you have any of it in the place, so it doesn’t matter.”
