Daniel had acquired the Pillar of Hope not long ago.
But unlike the Golden Scales, representing Justice, which he had already conquered as his own, the Golden Candle was still not under his influence.
The reason for this was simple.
He had just stabilized his control over the Golden Scales after using it to revive Nyarlathotep. Because of this, he didn't have the ti to convert the Pillar of Hope to beco the Pillar of Despair, which would have further increased his strength.
However, as his purple flas tried to refine the Golden Candle, sothing unexpected happened.
The candle shone brightly and flew upward.
It hovered over the Void Battlefield and created a barrier upon itself, preventing him or anyone else, from getting near it.
Suddenly, a voice, which no one could determine if it ca from a young girl or boy, spread in the surroundings.
"To those who wish to gather the Pillars of Eternity, I am here to give you my judgnt," the Candle of Hope spoke. "Only the one who remains standing in the end will gain my power, for that is what it ans to represent Hope."
Daniel frowned after hearing the declaration, but in the end, he just snorted.
"No one gets to tell what to do," Daniel stated. "It is my will that decides everything!"
The eye of the Outer God once again opened as it directed its gaze on the Golden Candle hovering in front of it.
Amidst the Darkness, the light of the candle that seed as though it could go out at any mont held firm, despite the powerful pressure that the Outer God was emitting.
Suddenly a thin purple beam of light erged from the eye of the Outer God and flew towards the Pillar of Hope.
"Eyah!"
At that mont, a giant Golden Anchor appeared in front of the Golden Candle and blocked the purple beam of light. Eiko, in her Fairy Princess form, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, surprising Lux and Daniel.
Even the baby sli had no idea why she was able to traverse such distance when she was still on Poseidon's deck and protecting the Floating Island of Edea from the Abyssal Monsters.
She just felt that no matter what happened, she couldn't allow that purple beam of light to hit the Pillar of Hope.
A sound that was similar to nails scratching a blackboard reverberated in the surroundings.
This lasted for a few seconds before everything descended to silence.
The Golden Anchor once again shrank and transford into an Anchor-like-sword, held by the Fairy Princess, who was hovering beside the golden candle.
Eiko still didn't know why she was able to teleport beside the candle. The only explanation she could think of was that for so reason, the Pillar of Eternity felt as if it was part of her family.
Yes.
The pillar was like a little sister to her, which for so reason unlocked a power within her to teleport right by its side.
Daniel narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Golden Anchor in Eiko's hand.
"So the Anchor is in your possession. Very good," Daniel stated. "I'll take it from you by force."
Eiko was unfazed by Daniel's comnt as she returned to her baby sli form. The first thing she did was swallow the Golden Candle before teleporting to the top of Lux's head, holding a small Golden Anchor in her hand.
"Pa!" Eiko said.
"Right," Lux replied. "Let's show him who's boss."
"Un!" Eiko nodded before shifting her gaze to Daniel. "F*cker."
This ti, Lux didn't reprimand Eiko for cursing the Pseudo-God out loud. He even praised her in his heart for saying the things that reflected what was inside his heart.
Daniel smiled faintly. In the end, soone was still getting in his way.
"Fine," Daniel said. "I guess this is also interesting in its own way. So the winner takes all, right?"
Nyarlathotep, who had been fighting against the Skeleton King and the Skeleton Queen, vanished without a trace.
It then reappeared behind Daniel and transford into a black mist, rging with his body.
The silhouette of the Outer God also transford into a black mist and started to rge with Daniel's body as well.
The Pseudo-God was covered by a black do as he absorbed the power of the Pillar of Justice and Pillar of Fortitude.
"Attack him!" Lux ordered. "Don't let him finish his transformation!"
Eiko threw dozens of her Nuclear-level Blast Bombs, as well as ordered Poseidon to fire its Main Cannons.
Keoza and King Azza transford into their Dragon Forms and unleashed their strongest Dragon Breaths at the sa ti.
Lux and Hereswith also unleashed their most powerful spells at the sa ti.
"Dark Laser!" Hereswith said as she pointed her finger at the do of darkness and fired a crimson beam of light, covered with dark lightning bolts.
"Divine Disaster!" Lux roared as he unleashed a beam of light covered with golden lightning bolts.
Their combined attacks were so strong that everyone thought that they were witnessing the end of the world.
A mont later, the loudest explosion that they had heard and witnessed erupted, making everyone cover their ears and close their eyes due to how powerful it was.
Even though the Abyssal Army and the Alliance had already distanced themselves from the battlefield of the six powerhouses, they were still caught up with the blast and blown away by the aftermath.
Lux, Keoza, Hereswith, and King Azza were also pushed back by thousands of ters. Even so, their gazes were locked onto the place where their attacks landed.
"Bastards, can you not wait patiently until my transformation is complete?" Daniel's voice, which was filled with annoyance, reached Lux's ears. Although he tried hard to hide it, the Half-Elf was still able to detect the pain behind the Pseudo-God's words, making him smile faintly.
"Who in their right mind will wait until you finish your transformation?" Lux asked. "Only fools do that."
Within the blazing inferno, sothing stirred, making everyone's faces turn grim.
"True," Daniel replied as he appeared in front of his enemies. "But I will make sure that you pay for your insolence."
A creature with eight wings on its back erged from the hellish flas.
It had four arms, which had razor-sharp claws on each end, capable of slicing a Demigod in Half easily.
Standing at ten ters tall, Daniel looked down at the people whom he wished to trample with all of his might. This scene reminded him of the incident a hundred years ago when he tried to ascend into Godhood but was thwarted by his companions and the Goddess who had summoned him to Solais.
It all brought him unpleasant mories, and the thing he hated the most was these very sa mories.
"I'll end all of you," Daniel said.
In the next second, he reappeared in front of King Azza.
Before the Dragon King could even react, Daniel's clawed hands pierced through the chest of the giant Golden Dragon and crushed his heart without even a shred of hesitation.
Queen Saphira, who was watching this battle from inside Lux's Guild Headquarters, scread the mont she saw her husband's body fall from the sky.
King Azza didn't even have the ti to react before his heart was crushed, leaving Lux, Keoza, and Hereswith in shock.
"That's one down," Daniel said in a teasing tone. "Now, which one of you wants to die next?"
