The Author's POV

Chapter 852

As the sun shone high in the sky, illuminating all that was beneath, a foreboding crack split the sky.

Cr— Crack!

It began as a hairline fracture but quickly widened, tearing apart the fabric of reality with an eerie, otherworldly glow.

Gasps of awe and fear echoed through the land as the crack expanded and a terrifying energy swept throughout the earth.

"What's going on?"

"S,something is coming!?"

The fights that were happening beneath stalled, and everyone looked up in utter nervousness and fear.

From the depths of the fissure, an imposing figure emerged, stepping out onto Earth with an air of absolute authority.

Appearing in the sky, Jezebeth exuded an aura of pure darkness, his eyes burning with a malevolent crimson glow that pierced through the world like fiery embers.

His skin was ashen, marred with sinister runes that seemed to pulse with demonic energy. His sharp, angular features were twisted into a small smile that exuded boundless confidence.

He wore a tattered cloak that billowed around him, seemingly made of shadows themselves, swirling and undulating as if alive. His armor was a macabre fusion of metal and cores that glinted with a malevolent light.

Each step he took sent tremors through the ground, causing the very earth to shudder as a result.

As Jezebeth emerged fully from the crack in the sky, he surveyed the land with a sense of authority.

This was the second time he had returned to earth, and just when he thought he'd put an end to everything, things took an unexpected turn, and he was transported out.

Perhaps to buy time, or perhaps something else… It no longer mattered to Jezebeth.

But still, why did he choose to bring him out when he knew full well that their powers could destroy the entire planet?

"Hmm. I hope I'm not too late."

Jezebeth's presence was palpable, radiating a sense of overwhelming power and darkness that seemed to suffocate the very air.

The surrounding flora withered and died in his wake, and the temperature dropped, leaving a frigid chill in the air.

Jezebeth's arrival sent shockwaves through the earth, igniting fear and panic among the alliance members.

"Ha... ha... he, he is here..."

"Ah.. ho,ow are w,we supposed to beat that?"

Some fell to their knees, unable to withstand the sheer weight of his presence, while others rallied to resist, albeit with trembling resolve.

The skies were dyed red, and the earth seemed to tremble.

As everyone's eyes fell on the Demon King, a pair of grayish eyes similarly looked up.
