Chapter 566: Battle against Leviathan (part-2)
As one of the nine demon kings of the realm, Bael's words had a certain weight; even the mighty Leviathan could not ignore them.
Leviathan had to respond to his proposal, but he didn't have any intention to reel their conversation in a positive direction. As a result, he responded by intensifying his demonic aura, "I don't care what kind of relation you have with Chang'e and Houyi's reincarnate, but my hatred with them runs deeper than the depth of Infernal Abyss.
So, if you value your life, then, take Marbas and the other demon with you. Or else, all of you will die here," Leviathan was speaking in a demonic language, instead of Orlon, a universal language that Deities brought to almost every significant civilization since the beginning.
Mark and Chang'e had no idea what Leviathan said but he saw Bael transformed into his true form and Marbas started shaking in fear. Alloces also became serious and he started flying toward him.
He could ask this demon lord but it doesn't matter anymore as Bael had already made his move.
The three-headed demon separated into four demons, the human one retained his humanoid appearance, and the remaining turned into a cat, toad, and a spider, all of them in the mid-13-circle realm.
As the four demons swiftly took their positions, surrounding Leviathan in four directions, Leviathan frowned, "Since you paid no heed to my warning, then, you might as well die with the rest."

Bael's humanoid form stretched his hand above his head, shooting a beam of demonic energy into the sky. As the rest of them followed the suit, he conversed in the demonic language, "I may not be a match for your strength but I'm sure enough to not leave you unscathed. My siblings will seek vengeance for my death later on. So, I shall ask you for the last time.
Guardian Leviathan, I request you to fulfill Miss Chang'e's wishes and release her husband's soul. There's no need for this fight. Once I get what I want from that Moon Deity, you can have her and the mortal."
Leviathan responded by conjuring a sword made of demonic energy, "Even if you children of the Great Devil all come together at me, you are not a match. So, weigh your options carefully before unleashing that skill. The moment it descends, you will be my enemy."
Bael stared at it and growled, "So be it."
"Descent of Velkazar." Bael's voice hollered across several kilometers, unleashing one of his greatest techniques.
A magenta-colored giant dragon vertically descended from the clouds; it neither has limbs nor wings. All it has are horns and whiskers.
Regardless, its appearance doesn't matter as even Chang'e flew away atleast a couple of hundred meters from Leviathan, in fear of being impacted by the collision. The attack has even surpassed the God realm. It was in the true god realm (14-circle).
However, Leviathan was calm and collected. "You have made your decision." Brandishing his sword, he zoomed into the sky at blurring speeds.
The Dragon and Leviathan's demonic-energy-sword collided in the sky, generating powerful waves of energy that pushed away everyone; the sea of lava was also affected, sending huge waves in all directions. Some of it was splashed onto Mark's skin as he blasted away further.
"Ugh…" Mark received mild pain and some first-degree burns but he didn't care about it, for his attention was on Leviathan, who remained unharmed and floating in the sky. With his hair gone loose, with the sword in his hand, he looked like some kind of bloodthirsty butcher.
"F**k. There is no way to beat this enemy. We can only focus on survival," He understood it at one glance.
Mark couldn't help but speak to the artificial intelligence, "You have already mentioned it but let me ask you once again. Ark, do all kinds of teleportation work?"
*Ding! Yes, unless the target locks down the area with Domain, Master can return home with Return skill; Master can return to the Greenhill (Marbas' home) through teleportation or long teleportation skill, or escape to a random location by using teleportation skill but without the assistance of the system.
"Even if he unleashes a Domain, it is still made of matter. That means I can still make an opening to escape as long as I unleash antimatter to that barrier wall," muttered Mark under his breath, as an afterthought.
*Ding! I cannot give an opinion without analyzing the domain in question but judging by other domains Master has faced so far, the domain unleashed by the Leviathan is likely to be durable enough to withstand atleast 50 zeta joules of energy. On the safe side, Master should produce atleast 50,000 kilograms of anti-matter to crack a hole in such domain.
"Sh*t, I forgot about the durability of the barrier," Mark was aware that he cannot produce such a huge amount of anti-matter. "Well, I guess my only choice would be throwing unnamed at the barrier from far away. But, I would have to leave it down here if I escaped. Why go through all that trouble? Let's get back to the Moon Palace and escape with my sister, leaving her here.
But, she helped Xiao Jiao and me. All she wants is to release her husband's soul so that he reincarnates and probably reunites with her later on. Returning betrayal for a favor is against my ethics… What to do… Hmm?" An idea suddenly popped up in his head, but when he spotted Chang'e join the battle and saw the result, he shook his head, "Nope. Divine energy doesn't seem to hurt it much.
I guess it is because it is not exactly a demon but a Primordial with demonic nature. This doesn't… Hmm?" he raised his head to look at the sky.
A few seconds ago, Bael was planning on creating another attack. He saw Chang'e suddenly appear before Leviathan, out of nowhere, with a thick layer of divine energy around her fist as she punched the enemy.
His cheek was bruised but Leviathan didn't move an inch, only his face was turned away by the force.
"Weak."
Turning his face back to Chang'e, whose face went pale with the failure of her ambush, Leviathan clenched his fist tightly and punched her in the abdomen.
*Puchi*
She spat a mouthful of blood as she blasted away. However, her facial expression changed, all of a sudden, she was earlier in a panicked state but while blasting away, she was smiling for some reason. The most possible reason could be the talisman with a mysterious design in her hand that disintegrated completely.
Bael's human form rushed back and caught her, landing on a nearby islet.
"This is why I was against a battle with the guardian," Bael commented. Looking at her face, He further said, "If you want to live, then, leave this place. We have to lure it into the mortal plane to defeat it."
Bael's plan is to suppress Leviathan's realm before taking any action. The best place would be the mortal plane of existence. However, it is a challenging task too.
But Chang'e shook her head, rejecting the plan right away. "No, that won't be needed. The help has already arrived."
"Hmm?"
Taking heavy breaths, Chang'e slowly pointed her finger at Leviathan. As Bael turned his head, he saw a tiny portal appeared in the sky.
Leviathan also seemed to be ignoring and them paying attention to the sky.
Soon, a dazzling figure, enveloped by the golden divine energy, slowly flew out of the portal and stopped, staring down below. "Leviathan," the figure spoke; its voice filled all over the surroundings.
Leviathan frowned, "Yuanlong."
"Yuanlong, the first Primordial and the guardian of the heavens is here," Chang'e spoke to Bael. She added, "I didn't use Orb of time to just freeze the time, you know."
