Daniel had sensed a fluctuation from where Nyarlathotep's true body was currently located.
Because of this, he hurried to the deepest layers of the Abyss in order to see what was happening.
Ever since the intruders had slipped through his net, Daniel had been in a very bad mood. Because of this, none of his subordinates dared to be even around him out of fear of being killed without even knowing how they died.
In order to prevent the same thing from happening again, Daniel created waypoints all over the different layers of the Abyss, allowing him to instantly teleport to the waypoint's location.
Even before he had arrived at the location of Nyarlathotep's cocoon, he could already hear the Outer God's screams, which made him wonder what was happening.
"Stop!" Nyarlathotep shouted from within his cocoon. "I'll give you back the Golden Scales! I'll even help you fight Daniel! Just don't destroy my soul!"
Daniel's face turned grim upon hearing Nyarlathotep's desperate screams.
He could tell that the Outer God wasn't joking and that it truly intended to betray him just to save its life.
However, what concerned him the most was the fact that Nyarlathotep was begging someone to spare his life.
Something like this shouldn't possibly happen since Nyarlathotep's soul could instantly travel back to the Abyss in order to return to his body.
If the Outer God was becoming desperate, it could only mean one thing.
Its soul was unable to return to the Abyss!
Perhaps, whoever it was fighting had done something to prevent the Outer God's Soul from returning to the Abyss, forcing the latter to beg and ask for a compromise.
However, after fully understanding what was happening, a sneer appeared on Daniel's face.
"You act so high and mighty, thinking that all mortals are beneath you," Daniel stated as his hands ripped apart the Cocoon that was protecting Nyarlathotep's body. "But in the face of death, you show your true colors. Looks like I overestimated you, Nyarlathotep."
Daniel didn't know whom Nyarlathotep was fighting against, but he was certain that if the Outer God were to fight using its real body, very few individuals could threaten its life.
But since it couldn't bring its true body to Elysium, it had no choice but to use a weakened version of its body, further split into clones, so that it would be allowed to cross between the two worlds.
Daniel then pressed his hand on the Outer God's chest and began to extract the Pillar of Eternity that it possessed in Elysium.
He would not allow anyone to get in his way, including his so-called ally, who planned to switch sides in order to save its life.
Espoir Frieden…
"If you let me go, I swear that I will fight Daniel for you!" Nyarlathotep pleaded. "I am even willing to become your slave! We can have a contract between the two of us! Even Daniel didn't have the chance to sign a contract of equals with me!"
Lux ignored the Outer God's pleading and focused on burning its soul with his Divine Abyssal Flames.
Although Nyarlathotep's offer was enticing, he didn't want to join hands with a being who treated mortals as if they were playthings.
He would never make someone who tried to destroy the World Tree and kill his lovers an ally. Using his power as the Necromancer of Heaven, he sealed Nyarlathotep's Soul inside C2's body, incinerating it bit by bit with the hellish flames that covered his entire body.
With every second that passed, Nyarlathotep knew that he was getting closer and closer to death, so he desperately begged and pleaded for forgiveness.
Suddenly, the Outer God cried out in pain, not because of the flames that were burning its soul, but due to the fact that someone was attacking its true body in the Abyss.
There was only one person who would dare do such a thing and it made the Outer God cry out in panic.
The Pillar of Eternity that it possessed suddenly disappeared from its possession and was forcefully transferred to its real body in the Abyss.
"Daniel, you bastard!" Nyarlathotep shouted in fear, anger, and desperation. "How dare you?!"
The Pillar of Eternity was one of its bargaining chips to prevent Lux from destroying its soul. The Outer God planned to threaten the Half-Elf that if it didn't release it, the Pillar in its possession would be sent to the Abyss, which might allow Daniel to finally bypass the 13th Layer of the Abyss.
The Outer God felt truly helpless and bitter because both its soul and real body were being attacked at the same time.
Lux was dealing damage to its soul, while Daniel was desecrating its Main Body back in the Abyss, forcefully stealing everything in its possession.
"I curse both of you!" Nyarlathotep shouted as its soul was nearing its breaking point. "I curse both of you to die together! May your soul burn in hell and cease to exist! I am Nyarlathotep! I am Invincible! I am immortal! I can't die! I am God!"
Nyarlathotep roared in anger, unwillingness, and defiance.
But that didn't change anything.
Soon, its soul was finally extinguished by Lux's Divine Abyssal Flames, which was one of the most powerful flames in existence.
As soon as Lux succeeded, C2's body collapsed on the ground.
He had only targeted the Outer God's soul, so Eiko's most powerful Summon was still alive and well.
The Millions of Golden Abominations stopped moving at the same time their Master breathed its last.
All of them then turned into ashes, and the black dome of light that encapsulated the Kingdom of Espoir Frieden vanished without a trace.
From within the Abyss, Daniel roared in laughter as he held a Golden Scales in his hands.
The Pillar of Eternity that Nyarlathotep had promised to give him after two weeks was now in his hands. However, the Outer God didn't keep its promise, so Daniel had to forcefully take it, speeding up the demise of Nyarlathotep's soul in Elysium.
"Finally!" Daniel looked at the Golden Scales in his hands, which still held a faint trace of Nyarlathotep's Divinity. "The Second Pillar is in my hands!"
Lux, who had just finished fighting against the Outer God, felt a chill run down his spine.
He had tried to look for the Pillar of Eternity that should have appeared right after Nyarlathotep's soul was destroyed.
However, no matter how much he looked, the Golden Scales was nowhere in sight.
This gave him a very bad premonition.
A bad premonition that had already become a reality in the Abyss.
