Carlotta's Daily Report-Chapter 271: New Divine Artifact

The Demon King's attitude was arrogant, and he truly believed he should be arrogant, because there was simply no one capable of standing against him.

There might have been someone in the past, but with the use of the Demon King's Armament, he believed that unless gods appeared, he was invincible.

He wasn't in any hurry to attack. Instead, he pointed at Carlotta, demanding she strike first, an act of supreme arrogance.

"Are you sure you want me to go first?"

Carlotta said with a faint, enigmatic smile.

"Let me see just what kind of techniques the so-called Number One Genius of the Northern Continent possesses, capable of shaking me. Although perhaps I'm overthinking it. What can an ant, no matter how strong, do to a mountain?"

The Demon King's eyes held not a trace of emotion, utterly indifferent.

Carlotta had never encountered someone so infuriating. Since he made such a request, why shouldn't she grant it?

If she was going to attack, she certainly had no intention of exchanging blows back and forth. She would use her strongest technique to crush him outright.

She raised her hand. In her palm, an island materialized.

It was Sky Island!

A divine artifact like the Sky Island can freely change size. At this moment, it was condensed into a palm-sized form. Upon closer inspection, one can clearly see the plants, trees, mountains, rivers, and even numerous monsters inhabiting the island.

This was the power of space.

And naturally, the Sky Island's method of sealing a target also relies on spatial power.

Carlotta stared at the overwhelmingly arrogant Demon King and without hesitation activated the Sky Island.

"Seal!"

With a flick of her hand, the Sky Island in her palm shot forward. As it flew, it expanded at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it grew to its original size, covering the entire Chaos City.

The moment the Sky Island appeared, everyone present, including the Demon King, was stunned!

Because everyone recognized it immediately. This was Sky Island. After all, it had only recently appeared above Chaos City. Now, it had appeared again, and this time emerged from Carlotta's hand. How could anyone not be shaken to their core?

"How does the Sky Island come from you? What have you done?"

Even the Demon King couldn't help but shout in shock.

"Is this really the time to be concerned about that?"

Carlotta smiled.

The Sky Island spanned across the high sky, majestic and awe-inspiring, radiating an immense pressure that made anyone who looked upon it tremble with fear.

Immediately afterward, a thick wave of spatial power spread from the Sky Island, transcending distance and directly affecting the Demon King.

In that instant, the Demon King felt as if he had frozen.

No, it wasn't that he was frozen. It was space itself that had frozen!

The Demon King's mind erupted into chaos. Not even a change in expression or a shift in his gaze was possible. He felt exactly like a character in a painting, forever frozen in place, utterly unable to move even a single inch.

Why was this happening?

He had even activated the Demon King's Armament!

Graaah!

He roared inwardly, yet his body remained completely motionless. He was like a painting, unable to change anything.

Even the broken divine artifact, the Demon King's Armament, could only fall silent before a true divine relic, offering not the slightest bit of assistance.

"Quite impressive."

Carlotta murmured softly.

She knew the Sky Island, created to seal gods, possessed immense power. But witnessing its effects firsthand still filled her with awe.

The Demon King, empowered by the Demon King's Armament, wasn't that far off from a Demigod of Destruction. The Demigod of Destruction was only slightly stronger due to possessing a divine power directly bestowed by an Outer God. But the Demon King was truly not far behind.

And yet, under the sealing power of the Sky Island, such a Demon King was now completely immobilized, time itself seemed to have frozen upon him.

"What's happening?"

Countless eyes from different factions within the Chaos City were watching this ultimate battle.

Everyone had expected a world-shattering clash. Many were even preparing to retreat, thinking they needed to keep a safe distance to observe the fight, otherwise they might get caught in the crossfire and lose their lives in an instant.

But what was happening now?

The battle had barely begun, why was the Demon King already frozen in place?

Everyone can clearly see the Demon King's state. Even the overwhelming waves of dark mist emanating from his body were now completely frozen in space. No matter how one looked at it, this was highly abnormal.

Everyone understood Carlotta must have done something, but what exactly? Was it related to the massive Sky Island hovering above?

"I don't understand what's going on. Why does the Demon King look completely unable to move?"

"I thought this would be a terrifying battle, but now... how did it become like this? Are people from the Northern Continent really this terrifying?"

"This is the hero I've always believed in! The final confrontation between the hero and the Demon King has finally arrived. Without a doubt, the hero will emerge victorious!"

"Lady Carlotta, quickly slay the Demon King! The Southern Continent never needed a Demon King faction!"

Suddenly, someone shouted towards the sky, sparking countless echoes.

On the Southern Continent, although there were three major factions, the human faction was undoubtedly the weakest. For hundreds and thousands of years, they had suffered endless oppression from both the Demon King and the Beastman factions. They desperately wanted to change this reality.

Before today, they saw no hope of change. But now, with Carlotta standing up, they finally see hope!

"Lady Carlotta, kill the Demon King quickly!"

"I am your eternal believer, Lady Carlotta!"

"Lady Carlotta!"

Countless people suddenly began shouting, causing the demon race within the Chaos City to turn pale with fear, looking up at the sky in panic.

If he could move his face, the Demon King would have changed expression too. But right now, besides thinking, even shifting his gaze was impossible.

Carlotta floated high in the sky, slightly turning her head as if listening.

She could feel it, her believers had increased once again, and their faith was especially fervent.

"You all wish for me to kill the Demon King? Fine. I will fulfill your wishes."

Carlotta murmured softly.

She gathered the power of faith, transforming it into raging divine flames that carried the aura of incinerating all things. Then, countless divine flames converged across together, forming before Carlotta a colossal blade of divine fire, a Heavenly Blade of Divine Fire that stretched the sky.

With a gesture of her finger towards the Demon King, the immense, blazing Divine Fire Heavenly Blade crashed down with a thunderous roar, shaking the entire world with its descent..

The scene in that instant was one the people of the Southern Continent could never forget, even after hundreds of years had passed.

An immeasurably vast divine flame converged into a blade, as if capable of slicing through the very heavens themselves. It descended upon the immobilized Demon King. Within every flicker of fire burned the hopes of countless Southern Continent inhabitants, their yearning to change fate, making the sky-high divine flames burn even fiercer.

"Boom!"

The divine flame blade fell, cleaving the helpless Demon King cleanly in two.

At the wound, divine fire clung to the Demon King's flesh and rapidly spread across his body. In an instant, his remains were completely engulfed in flames.

The sight witnessed by countless eyes within the Chaos City.

Under the scorching divine fire, the Demon King's flesh melted away inch by inch, vanishing entirely before the eyes of millions of onlookers in an extremely brief span of time.

The Demon King was dead!

Without even a single struggle, the Demon King had been slain by Carlotta before the eyes of everyone.

Countless people were shocked, yet Carlotta's heart remained calm, for this was exactly as she had anticipated.

She recalled the Sky Island and turned her gaze towards Alger, the First General of the Demon King's army, just in time to see the High Priestess use his inner world projection to slam into Alger with such force that he was instantly reduced to shredded meat.

The High Priestess, having integrated the broken divine artifact Eternal Heart, possessed power that rivals, or even surpassed, the Demon King. How could Alger possibly stand against such might? Being obliterated within moments was entirely expected.

"From this day forth, there shall be no more Demon Race in this world."

Carlotta declared this to the people below.

She had long learned the origins of the Demon Race through the will of the Sky Island. These demons were merely descendants of the Outer Demons, by nature, enemies. Against enemies, there was no need for even a shred of mercy. Mercy towards the enemy was cruelty towards oneself.

"Kill!"

From within the Chaos City, a roar of slaughter shot straight into the heavens.

This region already houses many demons. Now, with the Demon King dead, everyone who had suffered under demonic oppression found their courage and immediately launched attacks against every demon they could find.

Carlotta swept her gaze across the area and quickly sensed two relatively powerful demonic presences.

'They should be demon generals. I recall the Demon Race has four Commanders, aside from the deceased Alger and Furious Thunder, two remain.'

The presence of the remaining demon generals here was not strange at all. After all, the Demon King himself had come; it was only natural for his generals to follow.

Without hesitation, she attacked, launching two precise sword beams from high in the sky, directly targeting the two presences hidden within the crowd.

"Not good!"

"I won't accept this!"

The two concealed demon commanders never expected Carlotta to detect them so easily. Roaring in fury, they charged upward, desperately attempting to block the sword beams coming towards them from afar.

As commanders of the Demon King's army, their strength was formidable, ordinary Weavers would stand no chance against them. Yet before Carlotta's sword beams, all their desperate efforts proved utterly futile.

In two separate regions of the Chaos City, magical energy barely stirred before blood sprayed into the air. The two demon commanders fell dead on the spot.

Observing the chaos unfolding below, Carlotta showed no intention of intervening further. She had already slain the Demon King, and all of his commanding generals were dead. At this point, the complete annihilation of the Demon King's forces was merely a matter of time. She trusted the people of the Southern Continent to know what to do next.

At the very spot where the Demon King had died, she lifted her hand and gently drew it toward herself, drawing over the remaining Demon King's Armament left behind after his death, and stored it within her inner world.

With this artifact, constructing a third-order vessel will now be possible. She would possess another divine artifact in her arsenal.

"Let's go."

Carlotta called over Amelia and the High Priestess, then withdrew from the area.

The affairs of the Southern Continent no longer require their attention. Their focus should now turn to the Outer Gods, undoubtedly, that was where their true concerns lay.

That very day, Carlotta and her companions left Chaos City far behind.

In a vast, open forest, Carlotta retrieved the New Moon, causing it to float in midair. Then she brought out the Stellar Workshop and the Demon King's Armament.

"It's truly awe-inspiring. In this distant future era, I can witness the birth of a divine artifact."

The High Priestess spoke with complex eyes.

The creation of divine artifacts, in the distant past, was always performed directly by gods themselves.

Carlotta took the Stellar Workshop, enlarged it, and placed the New Moon inside its furnace. Then she placed the Demon King's Armament inside as well. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

On the luminous screen embedded in the walls of the Stellar Workshop, the construction progress of the third-order vessel appears.

100%.

This was the current progress, no longer any doubt or uncertainty.

Carlotta took a deep breath and selected "Construct."

In the next moment, the second-order New Moon and the Demon King's Armament inside the furnace disappeared without a trace, transforming into an entirely new alchemical vessel.

To call it an alchemical vessel was no longer quite accurate, for this was a divine artifact!

Carlotta carefully retrieved the new New Moon. On the surface, it didn't differ much from the previous alchemical ship, but its aura was far deeper and more profound.

She enlarged it, then stepped with Amelia and the High Priestess onto the deck of the new New Moon.

The process of claiming ownership furthered without incident.

This vessel was fundamentally reconstructed from the previous second-order ship. From the moment of its creation, it had already recognized Carlotta as its master. No one else could possibly seize it.

Carlotta smiled contentedly, then whispered, "With the New Moon and the Sky Island in hand, are gods truly unbeatable?"

The High Priestess revised at Carlotta. "Looks like you're feeling quite confident now."

Carlotta gasped. "Not really. The Sky Island said those two Outer Gods sealed on the moon, even if released, would likely possess strength around ten times that of a Demigod of Destruction. That kind of power used to worry me quite a bit. But after experiencing the Sky Island's capabilities and now possessing the New Moon in its complete form, I suddenly don't find them so terrifying anymore. Even Outer Gods... I might just kill one to show you."

"Don't get careless."

The High Priestess felt helpless.

She could only warn Carlotta: these remaining Outer Gods were so powerful that even the gods of old could not destroy them, only seal them away. How formidable they must be was obvious. They truly needed to proceed with caution.

Moreover, the one on the Sun demanded even greater vigilance.
