Sinister Snake

Date- 13 April 23210

Time- 10:04

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital

Witnessing the devil tear open a portal in the sky with its bare hands connecting the dark realm to the card world was already too horrifying to handle for the demigods. Then adding a massive creature that was faster than their synchronized divine sense to it was just pure terror. 

Sharing or fusing divinity was not the same as Syncronizing divinity. The demigods in the battle array had their divinities synchronized, such that they could coordinate with each other efficiently. In turn, allowing them to act as one big array. This provided more control than power. Where sharing or fusing divinity was more about power than control. Though this did not mean that the battle array formation did not boost the strength, it did but it was achieved through more control over the existing power. It was more about getting the maximum with what they handed. 

While the demigods frantically searched for the white blur that swallowed their big bang explosion, Belphegor felt the card world's shackles on his power loosen and slowly vanish. 

With the dark realm connecting to this part of the world, the Card World's will now had to fight with the will of the dark realm for control over that part of the world. Which unraveled into a decisive battle. As the two realms' wills clashed in the sky of the southern capital city, the pressure in the surrounding atmosphere increased by a few times. The air left heavy, the feeling was similar to being deep underwater. 

With the card world's will no longer suppressing his strength, Belphegor could finally breathe freely and appreciated the newfound freedom. He then immediately began to repair his gravely injured body. Fortunately for him, the demigods' big bang blast only claimed one of his hearts yet the blast was too powerful, even though his other two hearts were intact they could not escape minor injuries. This was the risk of him recklessly betting everything on one of the privileges he gained from the devil merchant code, he had no choice as he was surrounded and outnumbered. Thankfully, It all worked out in the end. 

Though Wyatt was concentrating all his attention on refining the hourglass relic he was not unaware of the situation outside. Learning that Belphegor tore open space to summon the dark realm, Wyatt instantly regretted prioritizing the true relic over Belphegor. 

Noticing Belphegor trying to tear the space, Wyatt thought the devil was trying to escape through the void to get out of the encirclement of the demigods and their battle array formation. However, how could he have known that Belphegor could be able to summon the dark realm on this world without conducting any appropriate sacrifice and ritual? There was no way Wyatt could have known or anticipated that Belphegor had such a trick up his sleeve. 

Wyatt too caught a glimpse of the white blur that not only swallowed the big bang blast with ease but let out a thunderous burp as if it just had a hearty meal. Now the situation on the battlefield had changed for the worse, Wyatt knew he could no longer continue to refine the true relic and ignore Belphegor. Ironically, Wyatt needed more time to refine the time attribute true relic. 

However, he had wasted so much time and energy on it. It was hard for him to watch his efforts go to waste. Not to mention, as soon as he detaches the left hand on which the true relic was latching then it was only a matter of time before Belphegor would somehow manage to get his hands on it or it might just return to him out of its free will. 

Wyatt did not like this one bit, just then a brilliant idea to sacrifice the true relic to the devil merchant code flashed in his mind. With that Wyatt was about to place the true relic on the demon merchant codex and sacrifice it to the devil merchant code but then his new celestial senses sensed a deadly presence in his immediate vicinity. 

Wyatt instantly paused his actions and immediately used his celestial senses in combination with his Soul Pupils and Soul Pathway vibration dictation earbones to find the threat his celestial senses were warning him of since the celestial senses could not pinpoint the accurate location of the threat. Yet no matter how much he stressed his soul pupils and other senses he could not find the threat in his surroundings. 

Then a scary thought crossed his mind, what if the threat triggering his celestial senses was not in his surroundings but in him? With that thought, Wyatt immediately scanned his body to find a mass of soul pathways on his left arm where the hourglass relic had latched on to him. The mass of soul pathways closely resembled the soul pathways of a snake demon however their arrangement was a lot more mysterious and complicated than that of a snake demon, it resembled a devil's soul pathway arrangement. Yes, its core was as sinister as a titled demon core than a mere demon core.

As if aware of Wyatt's gaze the sinister snake made direct contact with Wyatt's eyes revealing its existence. As soon as it did that the synchronized divine sense of the demigods searching for the white blur from earlier also caught its presence and the demigods were almost traumatized by its sinister energy signature.

However, when the demigods and Wyatt finally laid their eyes on it, they were surprised to find that it was a white snake and it resemble the white blur from earlier a lot. However, its body was a lot smaller than the massive body of the white blur. Did it change its size? They wondered.

Right now Wyatt stood110ft tall, so the snake that was wrapping around his left hand and the time attribute true relic latching onto it was not of small size however, it was a lot smaller than a massive white blur. So they could not confirm if the white snake was the white blur. But its next action erased all their doubts.
