Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Because Lucas and the three Heroes led a portion of their elite troops away from the main battlefield, the pressure on the Demon King's army was greatly reduced. Under Han Kexin's leadership, the Demon King's army successfully resisted the church coalition army's attack and even began to gain the upper hand.

"What's going on? The situation is looking grim," Regent Prince Carlos of the Sunset Empire had a foreboding feeling. Logically, once they launched a surprise attack on Darkness City and killed the true Demon King, the abyssal dragons and draconian forces should have disappeared.

But why was the Demon King's army still unaffected? Why hadn't Darkness City been breached?

Additionally, what shocked Prince Carlos was that, despite the church mobilizing such a massive force, with numerous factions sending their elites and the Sunset Empire sparing no effort to join the battle, they still couldn't gain the upper hand against the Chaos Federation's army. Instead, they felt suppressed. After all, this was the Demon King's home turf. If the battle continued like this, it wouldn't take more than two days for the church coalition to be completely overpowered and inevitably slide into defeat.

How long had Darkness City been developing? How did it already possess such formidable strength! Prince Carlos's sense of foreboding grew stronger, and he even began to have thoughts of retreating. Perhaps opposing the Demon King had been a mistake from the very beginning.
However, before a strategy could be formulated, a strange aura suddenly descended upon the battlefield. A massive spatial rift opened in the sky above the Thunder Highlands, and a black nine-clawed divine dragon slowly emerged from it.

"His Majesty!"

"It's His Majesty the Demon King!"

Although Zhang Nu had transcended the dragon race and officially became a deity, significantly changing his appearance, his primary subordinates like Han Kexin and Nancilia could still recognize him. After all, who else in the Chaos Forest could possess such majesty?

Zhang Nu's Dragon God form had no size constraints; he could maintain a length of about a kilometer or effortlessly expand several hundred times. At this moment, Zhang Nu's body spanned over a hundred kilometers, resembling a massive mountain range, hovering above the Thunder Highlands. From any point on the battlefield, one could clearly witness this magnificent presence.

Gods were not to be gazed upon directly, especially by those cursed and despised by the said divine being. The moment the church coalition saw the Chaos Dragon God, they fell into unprecedented panic. Their mana strength, life force, and various stats were all affected.

"Damn it!"

"How can the Demon King be this powerful!"

"Bloody hell, he's enormous!"

"Who cares! No matter how strong he is, he's still just one being. With such a large size, he's an easy target!"

"That's right, we have an army. Attack! He couldn't withstand us all!"

The church coalition army was vast, with numerous Heroes and top-tier warriors from various nations. These individuals could barely resist the divine pressure and were now attempting to join forces to repel the Dragon God.

Zhang Nu coldly sneered. "Mere ants, dreaming of slaying a god?"

His voice echoed through the heavens, shaking the very sky. Thousands, even tens of thousands, of attacks flew toward Zhang Nu, only to vanish as if they had been swallowed by the void.

At the same time, an indescribable and unparalleled force emanated once more from the Chaos Dragon God's body. Any area touched by this power quickly lost all color, as if plunged into a space-time frozen in absolute stillness.

At this point, it was too late for Prince Carlos to flee. As the colorless domain swept across the battlefield, he too was caught in a space where time stretched infinitely and space expanded without end. Neither Prince Carlos, Pope Dolores, nor any of the church's strongest warriors or the coalition's elite, whether they were holy dragons or fallen angels, could resist. None had reached the level of a demigod. Forget about fighting back---once they were caught in the time-space domain, they couldn't even struggle or perceive their surroundings. Everyone froze in place, their faces twisted in fear, trapped in this eerie domain.

Zhang Nu made his next move. His colossal dragon tail, spanning hundreds of miles, crackled with divine flames and lightning. With a single sweeping motion, tens of thousands, even a hundred thousand troops were obliterated, wiped out without the slightest resistance.

This scene unfolded before the eyes of Han Kexin and the others. Although they too were caught in the space-time domain, Zhang Nu spared them since they were his allies, allowing them to witness this near-apocalyptic spectacle.

A vast army---an army powerful enough to conquer empires---was utterly annihilated with a casual sweep of Zhang Nu's tail. The remaining forces of the church coalition were utterly insignificant before the Chaos Dragon God, unable even to pose the slightest threat.

Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

Zhang Nu did not annihilate the entire church coalition. He needed to be selective in his kills. For instance, someone like Regent Prince Carlos was of no use and could be swatted away like a fly. His existence held no value, so eliminating him and his close associates would only benefit Zhang Nu. Han Kexin had already secured control over the Crown Prince Miles of the Sunset Empire. With Prince Carlos out of the way, the crown prince could seamlessly take over the entire Sunset Empire on behalf of Darkness City.

On the other hand, someone like Dolores could be spared and captured. The church's influence and its vast territories were significant. If Zhang Nu could absorb this massive force under his banner, it would undoubtedly serve Darkness City well, accelerating the Demon King's conquest of the world.

In short, from the moment the Chaos Dragon God appeared, the once-mighty church coalition had become nothing more than meat on the chopping block, with its fate entirely in Zhang Nu's hands. After this battle, the path to world domination by the Demon King was set. No force in this world could stand in his way.
