Chapter 1477: Victory
After another thirty minutes of fighting, Baal was finally running out of things to do.
It was the strongest demon Abel had ever battled, there was no doubt.
Still, Abel had basically gained a full listing of Baal’s abilities: Teleportation, Aging Curse, Blood Mana Curse, Nova Blast, White Frost, Mana Burn, Hit Break, Rotten Corpse, and Evil Illusion.
Not to mention, he was almost invincible at close range fighting skills and had mass fire attacks.
For the past thirty minutes, Baal couldn’t do anything other than Cast Curses and using his Hit Break ability to attack.
But since he was under the Kepler Snare’s influence, his efforts were futile.

On top of that, Abel’s World Stone had already figured out a way to deal with its Blood Mana Curses.
As long as he didn’t get too carried away with his spells, he wouldn’t be harmed.
The battle lasted a long time, but a victory was guaranteed.
One hour, two hours, three hours. Finally, after twenty hours, Baal’s body was growing weak.
…
Since Abel had four times more World Stone pieces than Baal, his mental speed was dominant as well.
As the angel avatar continued to do its thing, a question came into Abel’s mind. Should he strengthen his angel body or his original body after he won?
If he picked his original body, it would only boost him up by a few ranks at most. That wouldn’t be much, even in the Central Continent.
It was at that moment that Baal let out a scream of agony, and bang! Golden lights blasted out from its flesh, and Baal was dead.
At the same time, the entire Stone Chamber began to shake, and Abel sensed a danger below him.
He quickly picked up the last piece of the World Stone and jumped off of the stone bridge, but maybe he had over-thought things. As the stone bridge shook the chamber, it did not crack and the shaking soon settled.
From Baal’s dead body on the bridge as well as the walls of the chamber, countless souls flew out.
Among those flickering souls, Abel saw the faces of children, elders, men, women, and even some normal professionals.
They were like a hurricane, and they swirled in front of Abel.
Abel sensed the hatred of Hell coming from those souls, even as the energy of Hell started to fade from the chamber.
The red glow also subsided, and the walls returned to normal again.
Afterwards, all the souls also calmed down and Abel could finally see them clearly.
They all bowed to Abel, and the anger on their faces was replaced with gratitude.
Soon, they started to sing.
It was the Song of Life, a gift for Abel before they slowly faded away.
Abel experienced the Song of Life many times, but this time he chose the angel avatar to take it in.
Energy charged into his soul, the experience unlike anything he had felt before.
He made the right choice! It seemed like the angel avatar was going to get a big level-up!
The Song of Life lasted for three hours before the last soul faded. The energy they gave him was many times more than the ones Abel had felt before.
Abel gave them a final bow and held up the last piece of World Stone. He wrapped his Power of The Will around it, and it flew into his forehead.
He did not sense any threat, so he did not stop it.
The last piece of World Stone merged with his other ones, and together they formed an eye. A red crystal eye!
He sensed the last continent of the Dark World come under his control, feeling almost like a god in his Divine Realm.
He thought about Harrogath, and dimension force appeared in front of him.
Large amounts of energy were quickly drained from his body.
He took a Full Recovery Potion and held the Rune Word Insight Staff in his hand. A Rank 17 Meditation Aura appeared about him, and his energy started to recover.
A blue Portal formed in front of him as he thought about his destination in Harrogath.
“This is what a god can do!” Abel sighed.
Indeed, after gathering all the World Stones, he didn’t even need to fly.
——
After he appeared outside, he tried to expand his destination further, to the Palace of Lut Gholein. That worked as well.
Although it took a bit more energy, Abel didn’t mind with his magic staff in hand.
After five more seconds, another blue Portal appeared, and Abel stepped in without hesitation.
Soon, he was in the Palace of Lut Gholein!
——
He teleported a few more times, but soon lost interest.
The World Stone was powerful, but it didn’t actually do much to his fighting power.
Why was the Wizard Union President so fixated on the World Stone? Did he just want to get to places faster? After all, that’s what Teleportation Circles were for!
“No, maybe I can use it to attack as well!” Abel quickly thought of something.
At the moment he was in the Knight Valley. There were many plants around, but they didn’t have much use to him after he got his garden.
He pointed with his finger and lowered his voice. “Bound!”
Although there was no enemy, the air in front of him condensed and turned solid.
With his Power of The Will, he could trap anything he wanted!
This would be very powerful in the Dark World, but God Rank Wizards of the Central Continent could basically do the same with their Inner Worlds.
—
After more testing, Abel started to feel disappointed.
So what if he was powerful in the Dark World? He killed every enemy around anyway!
In fact, the only beings around were his high elves.
At that moment, his World Stone sent him a location.
Abel’s heart tingled and he immediately teleported to the location.
It was located in the Stony Grounds, a place he had cleaned up, but at the spot he appeared in stood five stones.
Nostalgia emerged from within him, but after he activated the five stones a red Portal to Tristram appeared.
But it had been too long since the stones were last activated. The gems that fueled them were quickly drained, and the red Portal disappeared once again.
“I totally forgot about this!” Abel shook his head with a smile.
He formed another blue Portal and swapped out the old gems from those five stones. Afterwards, he activated them once again in the order he remembered.
The red Portal appeared, but he hesitated, because he sensed some slight danger.
How? There should only be low rank Hell creatures in that place…
Even though the threat wasn’t strong, Abel didn’t want to take any risks. He waved again and returned to the World Stone Chamber through the blue Portal again.
He needed his angel avatar. He had left it in the World Stone Chamber because he thought he was truly the god of this world.
—
With half of his consciousness in the angel avatar and half of his consciousness in his human body, he stepped through the red Portal to Tristram again.
As soon as he appeared, he saw the place was filled with Hell creatures.
However, this place seemed to be a separate dimension in the Dark World. Even his World Stone couldn’t sense it at first.
But of course, he would soon learn why after he killed all of these Hell creatures.
There were a lot of them, but they were all low ranks, so it was too easy.
His Angel Sword slashed and ten Hell creatures were dead. As for the ones from afar, some Nova Blasts would do the trick!
It was indeed quite thrilling to just massacre, and countless souls flew into his Horadric Cube.
It seemed he could make another batch of Soul Potions. He had used up way too many over the past few years, and the Hell creatures he had been facing were way too strong, yet way too low in number.
