205: Section 205

Dark clouds immediately rolled across the sky, and thunder rumbled incessantly!

Under Zhixin's command, a group of research-oriented angels worked in synergy to successfully trigger a super-wide-area thunderous storm.

Rumble! —

Thick pillars of plasma lightning struck down.

An octopus-like marine Demon Lord was immediately sent reeling by the strike.

More than half of the tentacles all over its body were scorched black and carbonized!

Rumble! —

Wave after wave of thunderstorms descended from the sky, raining down a series of additional '1080' status effects like electromagnetic burning, high-temperature carbonization, and electromagnetic dissociation.

This unlucky Demon Lord didn't even have time to mount a decent resistance before being taken out by the angels in a single burst.

The demon minions below fared even worse.

The Arcane: Wide-Area Thunderstorm wasn't just targeting the Demon Lord alone.

The entire ocean was submerged in the thunderstorm, with crackling bolts of electricity raging and intertwining wildly across the surface.

One by one, the demons were scorched black or completely carbonized, sinking into the deep sea; even the few remaining bone islands were caught in the storm and completely disintegrated!

Fortunately.

The legion-level arcane strike guided by Zhixin leaned more towards a materialistic energy suppression...

The Styx water veins deep beneath the sea were not affected by this natural disaster.

...

Outside the Star Nest, atop the gate of curses.

Su Ming asked curiously:

"It's understandable that Zhixin's Heavens Blade Great Judgment layers fire-type Flame Storm and Flame Blast, but what's with this Thunderstorm move?"

Hexi raised an eyebrow and lifted her head proudly:

"Can't you tell? It's the Shaman's Elemental Mastery plus Thunderstorm. So what if we can't construct Ancestral Spirits for now? We can just use the power of technology to replace the Ancestral Spirit as the first cause to induce and interfere with nature! As it turns out, this move is indeed very effective."

Indeed.

It could be called a surface-extinction-level disaster.

It was a mix of ice and fire.

And now a Thunderstorm sweeping across the land.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Zhixin was trying to burn the planet into a glass marble!

But then again.

Yan, known as the God of Thunder, had specialized in the trick of arcane-simulated Gamma-Ray Bursts, and her arcane fire damage was absolutely insane.

Meanwhile, little Zhixin, known as the God of Flames, had conversely started tinkering with Thunderstorms...

Is it okay that their personas are reversed?

With a wave of his hand.

Another set of battlefield scenes appeared before Su Ming.

Angel Leng led the charge; wherever she went, snow drifted for thousands of miles and frost froze everything!

The angel army under her command cast Blizzard spells in unison. Under Leng's direction, a Hell Sector that was once a scorched purgatory was instantly draped in winter attire!

Even the Demon Lord was frozen into an ice sculpture by the extreme cold!

She had the air of a polar goddess, truly living up to her title as the God of Frost.

Seeing this,

Su Ming could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although there were many Hell Dimensions, they couldn't withstand the unbridled firepower unleashed by the angel ladies.

If the destruction was excessive, the Hell Dimension itself would suffer a deficit in its source essence!

Leng did a good job, maximizing the preservation of this hell's original landscape.

On the other side.

Big sister Yitian's style suddenly shifted as she guided the heavens blade warship to drape itself in an Anti-Memetic Field!

It slipped silently into the Hell Sector.

After locking onto the suspicious and wavering Demon Lord,

She turned off the heavens blade warship's anti-gravity module, letting it fall freely!

Crack! —

The celestial warship, empowered by the original Heavens Blade Great Judgment, sliced straight down.

It actually sliced the Demon Lord clean in half!

Until its death, the Demon Lord never understood what exactly had killed it!

Similarly.

Until their deaths, the other demon minions couldn't figure out why the terrain of their Hell Sector changed so frequently, or why chunks of their population would suddenly vanish!

This was a simple and unpretentious legion-level assassination!

Yitian perfectly utilized the new heavens blade warship; since it belonged to the Circle of Reason, it naturally inherited the effects of the anti-memetic sealed star ring!

In this simple yet overt manner, she completed an unconventional assassination!

The entire process was easy and pleasant; not only was it effortless, but it also exuded an elegance unheard of among angels...

The key point was.

By operating this way,

The original hell landscape could be largely preserved.

Thus.

Miss Fanxing was the first to activate the Sharingan's copy mode.

The pseudo-Holy Light core conceptual entity previously modeled on the Angel Nebula's accretion disk was immediately discarded. Tanking mobs with shields and using Holy Light Blasts was miserable compared to how interesting assassination was.

This directly led to the demons and Demon Lords, who had lost their targets, looking completely bewildered.

Yet they remained oblivious to the other demons who were constantly dying violent deaths.

Fanxing did this, and the other ladies like Luoluan, Qingqing, Lingxi, Liuyun, and Qingfeng followed suit.

Even the big three—Yan, Zhixin, and Leng—after careful consideration, adopted big sister Yitian's tactics in subsequent battles!

At this point.

The Angel Legion's war against the Hell Dimension officially got on track.

Seventy-two dimensional battlefields were opened every minute.

While the angel ladies were fighting on the front lines, Su Ming wasn't idle; he observed and coordinated, controlling the gate of curses to deploy heavens blade warships and the Angel Legion to the most appropriate battlefields.

On the other hand.

Su Ming was also cleaning up the aftermath.

His three Mind clones were deployed together, passing the heavenly dimension giant hammer back and forth.

As soon as the angel ladies conquered a Hell Sector, the clones arrived immediately!

Wielding the heavenly dimension giant hammer, they performed a series of magical modifications.

The specifications and standards were all aligned with Hells Nest No. 1.

In the cycle of descent, war, and harvest, the angels' fighting spirit soared, and the three clones worked tirelessly.

Thus.

Hell Sectors were captured one by one.

New Hells Nests were created one after another.

While he didn't change the overall conceptual unity of Hell, he firmly implemented a decentralized sector framework!

The fact that the Hell system had operated until now proved that there was nothing wrong with the framework itself.

All he did was purify the functionality of the Hells Nests and strengthen their resource output characteristics!

So,

A Hells Nest was still a Hells Nest.

The difference was,

As the war continued to progress,

The volume of the Hells Nests was skyrocketing!

Of course, the original soul reincarnation system of Hell was also stripped away by Su Ming and integrated into the Circle of Reason, deeply evolving the Nine Heavens Long River!

Chapter 233: Memetic Curse! Hell Version Update

Here comes the question.

Given that the various Hell Sectors were independent and even the Demon Lords were wary and scheming against each other,

How did Su Ming accurately locate all those Hell Sectors?

It was simple.

By relying on the gate of curses!

Strictly speaking, it was by relying on the Curse Beacons attached to the gate of curses!

"The question is, how did you deploy the beacons?" Hexi asked, being her usual inquisitive Self.

"Think about it, what exactly is common among all the Hell Sectors?" With all his plans progressing in an orderly fashion, Su Ming had some free time to guide Hexi in her search for the truth.

After a moment of thought, Hexi's eyes lit up:

"The Styx?"

Su Ming nodded with a smile.

Exactly.

It was indeed the Styx.

No Hell Sector could do without the infrastructure of the Styx.

Without it, Hell couldn't efficiently harvest souls; without souls suffering in Hell, how could the Hell Sectors grow, and how could the Demon Lords meet their KPIs?

Kaisha frowned:

"But that's not right. Wasn't the original Styx already dismantled by you?"

Starlight shone, casting a mysterious shadow across Su Ming's face:

"You're right, but... what was dismantled was only the current Styx; the Styx of the past still exists! On the day the gate of curses was successfully completed, I was already making my move. Using the heavenly dimension giant hammer to strike the past, reversing cause and effect, I threw the Memetic Curse into the Styx while it still existed!"

"As time passed, the Memetic Curse flowed through all the Hell Sectors along the Styx."

"Coincidentally, Hell itself is a place where negative energy rules are highly concentrated. Without any extra effort, the Curse Beacons could develop enough to initiate dimensional descent."

Su Ming saw how much the angels cared about his affairs.

Plus, with the dungeon settlement period approaching,

That's why he made such a move, fearing that if the war with Hell dragged on too long, some accident might occur.

Hexi marveled and complained in a tone that said 'I knew it':

"I knew it would be like this. It's truly your style, quietly pulling off something huge out of nowhere."

Though she said that,

Deep down,

Hexi was also incredibly astonished by Su Ming's leap-frog growth.
