However, whether it was because Lynn left it open or the extraordinary effectiveness of the Endless Ice Seal in the natural environment of the Snowy Mountains, the first batch of retreating Demon Race members collided and instantly turned into ice sculptures, not only losing their lives but also blocking the way.

Some who were skeptical or pushed to the brink attempted to leap skyward, but even airborne they were frozen solid and fell, crashing into the chaos below.

"There’s no way to escape!"

"Where is Demon God, our lord? Demon God, please grant us the power to overcome the enemy!"

Encircled on three sides, with one facing absolute death, the Demon Race deserters began to collapse emotionally on a large scale. In the past, they were the ones forcing other armies or civilians into such desperation. How was it their turn to experience this firsthand today?

"You aren’t without a path; there’s still this one-way road."

Lynn, wielding the Saint Emperor’s Sword, heavy with execution but unstained by blood, returned to oversee the remaining Demon Race. After their many attacks, only less than a million Demon Race deserters were left. Outside, it might still be a formidable force, but within the siege, they were just lambs to be slaughtered.

"It’s do or die! Even if I’m level 530, I’ll drag a couple of those 300-plus level enemies down with me before I go!"

"If the war of faith hadn’t damaged the foundation of our race, the mere Miracle World would just have one overwhelmingly powerful individual!"

"We’ve been abandoned by the Demon Realm! The Demon Kings sent us to the Divine Protection Continent to die!"

"Even though the Guardian Demon God is a Supreme Demon God, we are devout followers of the Destruction Demon God, destroyers of the world. Even if certain death awaits, we must not disgrace our lord!"

"Let’s fight! Destruction Demon God is invincible across all realms! Invincible!"

Having all hopes dashed, and forced into absolute despair, the demon deserters rekindled their battle spirit. No longer mad for survival, they surged forward with a fierce will for destruction, ready to fight to the death.

Seeing this scene, Lynn sneered. In this world where power is completely quantified, what difference does it make if this ragtag group of less than 700 level Saint Tier warriors gets angry? Strength lacking is still weakness, and shouting won’t defeat an enemy.

Unless some unexpected event occurs, this battle is already at its concluding stage.

Oh, shit!

Just as everyone held similar thoughts to Lynn’s, prepared to annihilate the remaining Demon Race army, a chorus of screams from nearly a million demons echoed as countless black rays suddenly descended from the distant sky.

They emerged from the blackened sky like heavenly maidens scattering flowers, splintering into thousands of rays, then exploding into innumerable black spots as they fell.

"What the hell..."

Lynn had seen something like this before; it was the miracle wrought by the Demon God from the Upper Demon Realm!

This was the unforeseen event against expectations...

Where are the deities of the Divine Realm? Help us!

Even if the demon remnants eat the miracle, why shouldn’t our victorious army receive a divine miracle?

But nothing happened...

The entire Divine Protection Continent coalition of tens of millions, including Lynn, looked up to the sky but didn’t see any deity descending a miracle to counter the Demon God’s intervention.

Watching as black spots fell upon the demon remnants, Lynn wielded his sword fiercely to disperse and destroy those black spots, but to no avail, not even able to blow them away.

No matter how strong he was, he was still just a near-god, while this miracle was the power of the Demon God. The difference between mortal and divine was too vast to even touch.

And as the black spots permeated the demon army, their aura gradually became fierce. The deity’s blessing could push Lynn directly across the path to Ascension to Divinity, allowing him to become a god on the spot. Spread across nearly a million Demons...

A million Demons?

Does that even lift the level a bit?

No matter how enormous the Demon God’s power, enough to create demigods on the spot, divided among nearly a million demons, each surely wouldn’t even level up one level!

What kind of foolish move is this? Even if it’s hard to foster a near god, creating ten or so demigods could break through the Divine Protection Continent coalition’s defenses, ensuring at least a partial escape for the Demon Race soldiers.

Now you’ve spread it thin like rain over everyone, granting every demon the Demon God’s blessing, but it’s just a blessing buff with no level up at all. What’s the use in that!

No wonder no deity intervened—maybe they thought this Demon God was being foolish?

"Boom."

"Boom~"

"Boom!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Yet, as Lynn was rendered speechless, new changes occurred within the Demon formation.

A fresh wave of forbidden curses bombarded the cold battlefield, this time coming from the Ice Element magicians who had just finished their cooldown cycle. Their power, enhanced by natural surroundings, was far fiercer this time.

However, under the watchful eyes of Lynn and the others, the four Ice Element forbidden curses detonated prematurely as if hitting an impenetrable air wall above the demon army.

Four forbidden curses triggered an explosion of ice crystals in the air but didn’t harm even a single demon soldier.

Lynn focused his gaze, and finally saw the Demon army below, united by the Demon God’s power into a single entity, supporting a protective shield covering the entire force. Its principle appeared similar to ordinary protective fighting spirit, but reinforced like an upgraded network, shrugging off the doubled-power forbidden curses without a care.

Is this creating an incredibly hard turtle shell?

What’s the point? It might withstand the forbidden curse, but can it withstand my Saint Emperor’s Sword?

Lynn tightened his grip on his trusty companion, ready to cut through this tortoise-shell shield. But just then, the translucent turtle shell suddenly turned a faint red and expanded swiftly beyond concealment, its speed far outpacing the strategic divine artifact, spreading a hundredfold faster.

In less than a second, the shield made of Demon God’s power repelled everything around it, scattering and disorganizing the Divine Protection Continent coalition encircling the demon remnants.

This formerly impregnable defense line was instantly shattered, riddled with openings and breaches. If the demon remnants tried to escape chaotically now, they could easily break through.

But nobody moved. Instead, they were silent to the point of eerie; not even the previous shouts were heard, nor the sound of armor clashing or weapons clanking. More terrifyingly, Lynn, with his heightened senses, couldn’t even hear their breathing, as if their life forms had been altered.

"Lynn!"

"Lynn!"

"Lord Lynn!"

At that moment, exclamations echoed from both fronts and rears as Helena, Natasha, Catherine, Vivian, and Cleia were all pushed far and wide by the expanding Demon God’s shield.

Suddenly, in the middle of the snowy battlefield, only Lynn, nearly a million demons, and two adorable little girls each cuddling a cat remained.

Wait!

Cats? Little girls?

"Little Yuri, Little Yuna, you..."

Lynn turned quickly but was interrupted as the Demon army below rushed towards him, eyes glowing blood-red.

Facing a million foes, not even in Lynn’s entire Miracle career had he encountered such an explosive battle scenario.

He wasn’t worried about losing, but due to his Warrior class’s limitations, even if he fought till flames sparked from the Saint Emperor’s Sword, how many days would it take him to kill so many demons?
