Adrian's transformation ended as he slowly came down on the ground. He could feel that his body is aching all over as he really did push himself. He pumped out nether energy to the fullest to the point that notification saying that his health has been decreasing.

Adrian's nether energy might be endless when he is inside his domain but that does not mean he can use all of it. Domains can only be fully controlled when one becomes a god as even demigods cannot control their domains perfectly. He is also not powerful enough to wield the full capacity of the great power that comes from Nether Energy.

The Daemos Elders did tell him that the energy that he harvested is powerful and volatile. They also told him that it usually takes years for demons to fully stabilize the energy inside of him. He is said to be a rare case to have become an Arch Demon is just a span of a few years.

A lot of ideas flew inside of Adrian's mind but there are two things he needs done. The first thing that he needs to do is lessen the effects of the backlash. The second thing is to loot the battlefield as he worked hard to defeat all of the opponents.

"I have the remedy for that." Adrian stated as he changed his form from Netheros to Aetheros.

[You have transformed yourself to your Aetheros form.]

[Decrease the effects of negative effects by 20%.]

[Increased recovery of health by 100%.]

[Increased recovery of mana by 100%.]

[You cannot use Aether Energy at the moment as you have overexerted your Demon Core.]

"I thought I can just use Aether Energy to heal myself completely, but it seems that I have put too much pressure on my core to do so. Still, the decrease negative effects and faster recovery is better." Adrian muttered to himself.

Adrian then stood up and looked at the items that his defeated enemies have dropped. Unlike what people think of the Followers of the Dark Gods, they do not get bad karma when killing other players or innocent NPCs. When a normal player defeats a Follower of the Dark God, they will be rewarded with experience instead.

Since they are also in a lawless area, Adrian will not get bad karma from killing either Hou Yiwei or White. He did not care if he gets bad karma though as he is filled to the brim with good karma that killing one or two players will not decrease it heavily. Adrian happily leaped like a five-year-old boy on the clean battlefield.

The battlefield is not clean because it was clean but rather Adrian deleted everything in existence there. The only thing left are the dropped items and a large crater with a smooth cavity. A part of the Ten Thousand Sword Mound became bald because of the battle.

Of course, the commotion on the Ten Thousand Sword Mound did not go unnoticed. Many players flocked to it when they heard the intense battle happening there. There were many eyes that saw the battle unfold with their very eyes and betting who would ultimately win even happen.

Needless to say, only a few Demoniacs, who are Adrian's unofficial fan club members, voted for him to win. They were also rewarded handsomely as the votes were either Eldritch' Faction, Tai's Faction, Hou Yiwei's Faction, or Equinox. The Demoniacs are literally getting rained on with money as their bets paid off big time.

The fact that Adrian came out the winner was something that they did not expect. What made their jaws drop is the fact that he made a terrain deform just by the force of his attacks. They already knew that he was powerful because they have seen him in battle against dark gods and such.

They assessed his power level from his previous battles against powerful beings like the dark gods or the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Against the powerful enemies, he would often stumble and get hit by them. It finally dawned to them that he was facing against godly beings that vastly overpower him, yet he still survived.

When against players that are near his level, Adrian basically destroys them even in a one against many scenarios. All of those that watched the battle live could feel chills on their body as they can no longer claim that the strongest player is Eldritch or Hou Yiwei. From this battle alone, they knew deep in their hearts that Equinox is the strongest player in their minds.

Just as the players on the scene debated if Adrian is the real number one player, some of the players want to use this chance to ambush Adrian. They wanted to defeat Adrian even if they use dirty methods as they can use it to brag that they defeated the one nicknamed The Demon. Adrian did not care about them as he happily picked up the items that were dropped.

When the malicious players started to move out, the Demoniacs that were hardcore fans of Adrian also moved in. They already talked among themselves to protect Adrian against these malicious players despite not having their efforts known. The Demoniacs and the malicious players are about to clash, the sound of a rung in the area.

All the players in the area suddenly froze as this is the first time that they felt such powerful divine energy. Those that have faced against dark gods have slight resistance, but they were still stunned for a small duration. The sound of the bell started to become clearer, and the heavy pressure applied on the player's body increased as well.

"Divine Energy! Time to get out of here!" Adrian muttered as he hastily used Teleportation to vanish from his location.

"He got away." A mysterious male voice stated.

The owner of the mysterious male voice has similar clothing with Tai, but his aura is vastly different. Tai looks reserved and composed that makes people see him give him some respect. The owner of the mysterious voice very presence demands respect and just looking at him will make others unknowingly bend their knees to prostate.

"Of course. Demons are sensitive to energy even if you conceal it greatly. He is also the Champion of the Twin Gods so he will be very sensitive to divine energy as well. If you have wanted him captured, then you should have commanded the Immortals under you." A female voice that sounded like a beautiful song stated.
