The demons are here.

Aiyin-Blo's heavy steel-cast gate was tightly closed, and the archers on the city wall were waiting for it. A team of dark red-skinned demons first appeared in their field of vision. They had sharp thorns on their backs, running fast like cheetahs.

"It's the thorn demon," said Leo, "this is an appetizer."

"Appetizer?" The city lord covered his mouth and nose, unable to hide his surprise. The stench in the air could almost make people faint. Li Ou admired her for being able to persist here. "Why don't they attack?"

"They are waiting for orders," Leo explained, "the demons are chaotic and evil, they usually twitter and will only obey demons who are stronger than them. Unfortunately, Clegg ruled all the demons. Here comes."

A demon supervisor with a hill high appeared in the formation of the thorn demon. It had a strong body, and the blood-stained iron chain was wrapped around its fat body. It grabbed one end of the chain with one hand and a thorn demon with the other hand, and laughed and pinched it into two pieces, allowing the demon's blood to drench all over.

“It…how…”

"Devils are such creatures," said Leo. "Killing is one of their few pleasures. Not only for enemies, but also for their own kind. So, facing them, there is no other choice except to resist to the end."

A deafening roar suddenly came from the demon's formation, and the army started to move like a tide.

Without Li Ou's half bucket of water, the commander had already ordered the soldiers to prepare.

"Wait first, wait." The archers pulled the bowstrings, and the mages' spells had been summoned. The demons rushed closer. Their speed was fast, and they were scattering their claws. The soldiers were sweating coldly and trembling all over. Then the commander waved his sword. "Let it go!"

The rain of arrows and spells fell down overwhelmingly, as if it was a series of connected rainbow lights, with fatal dangers in beauty. Countless demons turned into flesh mud under this gorgeous scene. The stench filled the air. The city lord covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from vomiting. This was the first time she had seen such a cruel scene of war.

"You'd better go back, it's too dangerous here." Li Ou advised.

She waved her hand hard, "No, I can still hold on, I want to look at them, see what these guys who try to defeat and kill us are like."

"That's it." Leo said as easily as possible, "Ugly, like a monster."

“But cruel.”

“Yes, but cruel.”

"Sir Leo," the city lord raised his beautiful eyes and looked at him, "Is it necessary to comfort me and hide it from me now? We all know the whole story, so don't say good things to me anymore. These are just cannon fodders, right?"

Under the rampage of flames, frost, lightning and toxins, the demons fell one after another. They looked extremely relaxed, but they were just the weakest. The demons in the thorn demons were almost unharmed even if they had undergone a round of magic baptism. It waved its chains, smashed all the demons blocking it, and rushed towards the steel gate. But a layer of frost immediately frozen its feet, making it difficult for it to move.

Rosie raised her long hair and gave Li Ou a proud smile.

Li Ou smiled and said to the city lord, "Yes, as you can see, they are just pioneers of the way to explore. The real test is still to come."

“How to say it?”

Under the city wall, the demon army wielded chains to attack the city gate frantically, but the city gate from behind the alchemist could not be broken by brute force. It was so angry that it was about to jump up, but the magic and arrow rain extinguished all its enthusiasm. Rosie did not take action and handed the thunderous demon army to the mage as practicing. There would be no such good opportunity in the future.

"Now these guys can be said to have no wisdom and act with just a brute force and instinct." Leo explained, "But it will be impossible afterwards. The cunning of high-level demons is no less than that of humans, and there is no need for demon lords. They have even deceived the angels of gods, let alone us. In addition to defending to the death, we must be careful of their temptation. Lord, the strongest fortress will first collapse from the inside. You will be busy in the future."

The city lord shivered, her face pale. "When will those terrible enemies come as you see? How much time will we have?"

"There is not much time." Li Ou said to the trembling soldiers, "In the record, half a year is the limit. Then, the dark tide composed of demons will explode in full swing, but at that time, these soldiers and mages should have at least one stop."

"But our odds are still very small."

"There is never a chance of winning." Li Ou corrected her, "Where does the whole city's food come from? We can defend for two or three years, but what about ten years? Clegg will not lose it. In the Desperate Fort, the old dragon once told me that in his era, the war lasted absolutely beyond your imagination."

"Hundreds of years?"

Leo sighed weakly, "Thousands of years."

The city lord spoke out in surprise. "It's so long."

"That is to see the passage of time in our way." Li Ou looked at the dark clouds, and the heavy black clouds blocked the sunlight, unable to reveal a glimmer of hope. "For the eternal demon, it was still just a short time to take a nap and blink. So, don't expect the enemy to be kind."

"So, that fantasy plan is the only way to do it."

"It seems to me." Li Ou said helplessly, "Human life is too short and his body is too fragile. We cannot compete with time. Only wisdom makes gods and demons afraid, but time is a shackle that limits wisdom. Wisdom loses its power, so we can only give it a try."

"Sir Leo, I agreed with your suggestion and almost handed the city over to your hands." The city lord lady suddenly said, "I naturally know how to delegate power and choose to trust you instead of pointing fingers. But I hope that when you make a decision about everyone's life and death, at least I can explain it to me, just like the decision you made this time. I almost gave up all the resistance and built a huge magic circle that was expensive and unknown whether it could be successful. What if it fails? You almost bet on all your cards."

Leo knew what she was worried about. Because there were too many people who could never make a decision without seeing the facts others said before the last moment. But it was often too late at that time and it was too late. If this time, they would not prepare as soon as possible, and when they were surrounded by the demons, they would have to sit and wait for death.

"Because we have no way out." Li Ou said, "Anyway, it's all death, it's better to die. Lord City Lord, do you still think they will put down their butcher's knife because of our cooperation? They can't kill them, and we have only this way to go."

"I know." The lord sighed, "but are you sure the Andal Church will listen to you? Isn't the Black Dawn colluding with them? Although your reason is good, it is still not easy to convince them to change their ideas."

"Try it." Leo said, "If it is impossible, then we alchemists will create another god. It's just that... the success rate is even slimmer."

"I hope everything goes well."

"I hope." He sighed.

...

In the Andal Church in Ayinbulo, Leo stood beside the statue in the hall, looking up at the statue of Andal. It was a beautiful and holy face, and the tulle could not hide her graceful body. There was no doubt that excluding the majesty and ruthlessness of divine nature, every male would have a violent urge to such a woman, trying to make her fall. Not to mention the demons who were already interested in this way. They would definitely "take care of" her well.

"What are you looking at?" A familiar voice came from behind him.

"Of course I'm looking at your goddess, and then I think about her appearance of being humiliated by the demon." Li Ou turned around, and the priest who appeared in front of him was a few priests. The priest who had met once in the ruins of the rainforest was listed. Surrounded by them, an old man wearing a crown showed his majesty. "Ha, I didn't expect that the Pope would come in person."

"Alchemist." said the elderly man calmly.

He has the majesty that makes people feel that they have been in power for a long time at first glance. But it depends on when. If it were the end of the world before the future, Leo would be afraid of him. But now there is nothing scary about the world. Everyone is equal in front of the demon gods, and even the gods cannot escape his destruction, let alone an old man.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to come in person."

"This is about Goddess Andal, I have to come." The Pope said. He did not exchange too much greetings and soon got into the topic. "I saw your plan, it was very tempting..."

"...No, to be precise, it's very sacred." Leo corrected him, "It's much purer than your methods. Gods are above them, and the goddess is not a devil's plaything, right?"

The Pope's face was not very good-looking. Although he did whatever he wanted to win, there was no doubt that the end of the world would not completely destroy the world. There were always some guys who would live with good luck and live endlessly. If they won, history would naturally be written by them, but what if they failed? Moreover, the hope of victory was like a bone in an egg. Then this would be a huge joke. Everyone in the future would laugh at their stupid behavior and dedicate the goddess they worshiped to the demon god who destroyed them. Such a stain was unbearable. There was no way before, but now there was an alternative method in front of them, and they had no reason not to be moved.

"Yes, I admit that we are happy to accept your help, and we cannot refuse." The Pope simply said directly, "This world cannot allow us to bargain, right? So, I just want to know how feasible the plan is to succeed?"

"I'm much more sure than your plan." Li Ou told him, "As long as you can let the goddess Su Sheng, I'm sure I can gather faith on the goddess. I think you know better than me about the power of faith."

"I only know that the power of faith will not be at our mercy. Su Sheng's goddess cannot have wisdom."

"Sir Pope, have you forgotten my profession?" Leo said with great confidence. "Alchemy can do anything. Since it can kill the gods, it can also create another god."
