Chapter 73: Millennium Legend
When I was very young, I sat on the street of a small country town. On a moonlit night, a few children, who had not even fully grown their hair, surrounded an old man and pestered him to tell them stories.

The old man was helpless, he looked at the children lovingly, and said with a smile: "Today I will tell you a legend with a mythical color."

In the children's expectant eyes, the old man began to tell the story slowly.

When the world was born, the Demon Realm and Heaven were in a state of hostility. The war between the Demon Realm and Heaven has never stopped for countless years. After countless large and small struggles, an all-out war finally broke out between the two sides a thousand years ago.

In the void of the dimensional space, the angels of heaven led by God and the demons of the underworld led by the devil started a final showdown.

This was a terrible war. The demon army and the angel army fought each other in a bloody battle, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

This was a war of king against king, general against general, soldier against soldier, lower-level demons against lower-level angels, mid-level demons against mid-level angels, and higher-level demons against higher-level angels. The leaders of both sides, the Demon King and the God, naturally also fought a fateful battle.

But there is a variable in this war, he is the devil's own son - Barbatos.

As the son of the Demon King, Barbatos' power is unquestionable. He has completely inherited the advantages of the Demon King's bloodline. Although he is still young, his power has already surpassed the highest-level demons.

The young and energetic Barbatos went to God before the final battle broke out. He wanted to prove to everyone that he, the next Demon King of the Demon World, would definitely not be weaker than anyone else.

Barbatos was really strong, so strong that even gods couldn't defeat him easily. What's more, he fought with all his might, completely abandoned defense, and blindly strengthened his attacks. Even gods couldn't do anything to him in a short period of time.

God is a god after all, if Barbatos is allowed to grow for a while longer, he will surely become an existence that is not inferior to the Demon King. However, after Barbatos gained a slight advantage in madness, he began to show signs of decline. God's attacks continued to fall on his body, reducing Barbatos' strength.

However, what surprised the god was that Barbatos' tenacity was beyond his imagination. Although he had no power to fight back, he was still trying his best to hold on. After experiencing several dangerous situations, he showed no signs of retreat. If he continued like this, even if he won, it would consume a lot of the god's power. If he faced the Demon King next, he would probably be in great danger.

At this point, God finally realized that this might be the real plan of the son of the devil.

Another person who can see this is the Archangel Michael. As the Archangel whose status in Heaven is second only to God and the supreme commander of the angel army, Michael must protect God, because God is the only one on this side of Heaven who can fight against the devil.

So Michael took action. The twelve-winged archangel displayed his amazing power at the first move. Under the cover of infinite holy light, Barbatos suffered a great loss.

"Michael!"

Barbatos was furious. He was targeted by the two strongest people in heaven at the same time. Not to mention that he was just the son of the Demon King, even the real Demon King could not bear it.

No one would have thought that Michael, who was known for his kindness and fairness, would attack from behind.

"If I am still alive after this battle, I will apologize to you." Michael's perfect face showed no fluctuations, his cold golden eyes were full of determination. He raised the shining angel's holy sword and released a terrifying torrent of holy light.

Barbatos, who was fighting God with all his strength, had no spare time to resist Michael's attack.

The torrent of holy light hit Barbatos' body, and the burning holy fire destroyed his body. The power of the Angel Holy Sword was even more than that. The powerful torrent of magic blew Barbatos away and directly hit him on the membrane of space, and finally penetrated the layer of empty space membrane, and Barbatos' figure disappeared.

The terrible son of the Demon King, the great demon Barbatos in the demon world, came to the world we live in through the space membrane.

The old man paused, looked at the children around him who were looking at him eagerly, smiled, and continued to tell this thousand-year-old legend.

Barbatos discovered the connection between heaven and our world. The gods and angels in heaven need our faith. It is because the power of faith is growing that heaven will become stronger and stronger.

Barbatos, who discovered all this, immediately set off a bloody storm in the world. He even opened the door to the demon world and summoned an army of demons from the demon world to fight for him. Barbatos had an even more terrifying plan. He wanted to conquer this world and use it as a springboard to directly attack the base camp of the angels.

In a very short period of time, Barbatos and his demon army destroyed several alien countries. No one could stop him and his army wherever they went.

Barbatos is a strong man who can compete with gods in a short period of time and can use world-class magic. Even the strong men from alien races are like children who have not grown up in front of him and are all defeated with one blow.

The world is filled with smoke of war because of the existence of the demon army. The originally beautiful earth is devastated, despair is spreading, and the whole world is gradually evolving into the environment of the demon world.

Negative aura can foster the power of demons. If this continues, everything will be destroyed. It is only a matter of time before the world becomes a slaughterhouse for demons.

At this juncture, the world's strong men finally began to unite. They also realized that if they remained scattered, they would be defeated by Barbatos sooner or later.

This is no longer an ordinary fight between races; it is a war to protect the future with everything at stake.

Nearly 80% of the world's races abandoned everything in the past and began to unite to resist the demon army.

But the effect was minimal. Although the number of the demon army was small, and most of them were only low-level and mid-level demons, they were not something the joint army could easily fight against. In terms of individual strength, the demons were very powerful. Only a few highly talented races such as the elves and vampires had the ability to fight against them alone.

If ordinary races such as humans want to destroy demons, they must first be prepared to make a large number of sacrifices.

As one side gains strength while the other loses, the devil may still be the winner in the end.

In the end, the coalition forces formulated a "leader crusade" plan, in which the strongest people in the world at that time joined forces to kill the enemy leader Barbatos and save the world.

Barbatos's power is absolutely powerful. Ordinary strong men can't intervene in the battle with him at all. In the end, the Dragon King led the dragon elders, the Elf Queen led the elf elders, the Vampire True Ancestor led the vampire princes, and the strongest few of a few races such as humans joined forces to launch a siege against Barbatos.

The result of the encirclement and suppression was gratifying. Even with the joint efforts of countless powerful men, Barbatos was defeated and finally retreated back to the demon world.

The demon army that lost its leader was quickly wiped out, and the world once again welcomed peace.

It was not a very long story and the old man finished it quickly.

The teenagers who were listening to the story were immersed in shock. Such a mythological story was too far away for them.

"Old man, how was the final battle between the god and the devil?"

"Who knows? There seems to be a rumor that they died together in the end." The old man shook his head and smiled.

"Wow~~~!"

"Uncle, uncle! I want to know which human beings participated in the final battle!" asked a young man with spiritual eyes with anticipation.

"Humans? I remember they seemed to be 'Sword Saint', 'Sage', 'Pope' and 'Glorious Knight'."
