Chapter 1479: Changes
Translated by Jim

As soon as Abel’s human body entered the angel avatar, things began to change.
At the same time, the Super Lord of Destruction started to do combo strikes with its claws and tail. This time, all the angel avatar did was a little shift and dodged all of it.
The Super Lord of Destruction was stunned, and roared out as it kept striking, “Man, how did you dodge my attacks?”
Abel did not reply, as he was just having fun.
Since the Super Lord of Destruction did not have a World Stone, he could totally see its every move.
Just like a ghost, Abel swung his Angel Sword and it landed perfectly on the Super Lord of Destruction.
This was how different their power truly was. It was just that Abel was a wizard, so he rarely got the chance to fully utilize his World Stone.
However, this would be a totally different story without the angel avatar!
The powerful Super Lord of Destruction was like a child in front of him. It could only roar, as everything it did was futile.
After a while, the Super Lord of Destruction finally changed its tactics and started to use spells again, but as soon as he unleashed a Nova Blast, the angel avatar Flashed away.
It reappeared five meters away, which was exactly outside the area of the Nova Blast.
The Super Lord of Destruction roared again and shot out a Purple Lightning Bolt.
It was normally very hard to do a continuous lightning spell like the Purple Lightning, but the moment the lightning elements shot out, Abel appeared behind the Super Lord of Destruction like a shadow. No matter how fast it tried to turn, it could not match his speed.
More rounds of spells were unleashed. Even the Destruction from Above and Below were Cast again, but every time the angel avatar dodged it perfectly with the Flashing from its Enigma armor.
At the same time, he kept landing perfect strikes with the Angel Sword!
——
After around an hour of dancing around, the Super Lord of Destruction finally gave up using spells again.
It would not have used spells in the first place if it was not intelligent, but it was exactly because it was intelligent that what had happened had a huge impact on its ego.
Everything was now meaningless. It mindlessly attacked the angel avatar physically.
There was no longer a true will to fight, but it still continued to be driven by its instincts.
Eventually Abel ordered God Rank Two to step into the range of the angel avatar and use the Holy Aura.
At that range, the Super Lord of Destruction wouldn’t be able to do anything as the angel avatar’s strength multiplied again.
—
After another five hours, the Super Lord of Destruction dropped down with a final roar like a deflated balloon.
Abel gazed at the body, and a soul flew into his Horadric Cube and directly formed a Soul Potion.
He let out a breath of relief. It was not a dangerous battle, but it was much harder than he had expected.
Abel kept looking at the body, and an idea suddenly struck him. Could he resurrect the thing?
After all, it would have been a very tough battle if Abel had not had the World Stone.
He wouldn’t be able to resurrect normal Dark Gold leaders, but this demon was special. It was a truly intelligent being from Hell.
It was worth a try, what could he lose anyway?
He scanned the corpse with his Power of The Will, and then put it into his personal storage box.
After the corpse was put away, he saw some gems on the ground.
The World Stone immediately started to analyze them, and it knew what they were.
Small Rune ‘Destroy’.
+1 all skills.
+20 all resistances.
+20 all attributes.
It was a small Dark Gold Rune, and would be very useful even if he only kept it in his portal bag. A surprise find, nevertheless!
Abel then looked around again. Maybe the fury from the Super Lord of Destruction was too much for the other Hell creatures to approach. After all, Hell creatures were driven to kill, no matter how powerful their enemy was.
Indeed, after the Super Lord of Destruction was killed, the Hell creatures started charging him again.
Abel’s human body jumped out again, because this time he no longer sensed even a single bit of danger.
He waved and his twelve Spirit Guardian Knights and Wizards were Summoned to join the fight.
He no longer wanted to flee, and instead he Flashed among the Hell creatures.
——
Tristram was not a big place, only the size of a small town.
In just ten minutes, the final Hell creature dropped dead. Suddenly, the World Stone between Abel’s eyes began to glow, and he felt like a god.
Too bad, all the Hell creatures were dead anyway.
Abel smirked and recalled his Summons. He had gained thousands more bottles of Soul Potions, but he wouldn’t mind using them if he could resurrect that Super Lord of Destruction.
——
When he finally left Tristram, a strange feeling emerged from his soul.
He had already felt like a god after he killed Baal, but this was nothing like he had ever felt before. It was just like gaining control of another continent, but this time, he felt like he could control the air, laws, and souls of this world.
It was at that moment the Oak Tree shadow in his Druid Soul began to move. It seemed to be calling him.
Abel immediately knew what it was. “The Oak Tree is looking for me!”
With a single thought, energies gathered in front of him, and a blue Portal appeared.
He knew there were no more Hell creatures around, and as the possessor of the World Stone, the Dark World was his Kingdom. In the past, it was more like another god’s territory.
—
He stepped into the blue Portal and appeared next to the Oak Tree.
The Oak Tree could talk, but it had a special way of transferring ideas to Abel.
Soon, Abel was shocked. “You want the World Stone?”
It was one of his most valuable assets. It had saved him countless times both in the Central Continent and the Dark World.
But the Oak Tree was basically born from his soul and if the Oak Tree had not helped him, he might be dead already.
He gazed at the Oak Tree and began to contemplate.
The Oak Tree wouldn’t request something for no reason, and it must know about the value of a treasure like the World Stone.
“Ok!” Abel said with certainty.
He placed his fingers on his forehead and squeezed. Instantly, he felt like he was being torn from the world, but he did not stop.
He knew the Oak Tree wouldn’t hurt him. In fact, there was no one he trusted more than the Oak Tree.
Soon, he saw a fully formed World Stone in his hand, but his soul felt empty, just like he was a normal person.
Still, he handed it to the Oak Tree without hesitation.
The World Stone slowly levitated and entered the Oak Tree.
Soon, the huge branches of the oak Tree began to shake. Leaves began to fall.
Abel quickly placed his hand on it and activated his Soul Speaker ability to see what was happening.
Their souls connected, and Abel immediately sensed that the Oak Tree was feeling immense joy.
The leaves falling was not a bad thing, so Abel let out a breath of relief.
After all the leaves fell, the Oak Tree looked uglier than ever, but at that moment, a golden glow formed from the spot where it had absorbed the World Stone.
The glow then began to spread, and new golden branches and leaves began to grow. It was almost like they were made entirely out of gold.
By that point it no longer looked like a Tree of Life. An extreme sense of luxury emerged from it.
At the same time, the Oak Tree shadow in Abel’s Druid Soul also began to turn gold. This time, the golden shadow directly climbed out of Abel’s Druid Soul and arrived at Abel’s forehead, where his World Stone had originally rested.
A golden Oak Tree symbol appeared on his forehead and was absorbed into his skin.
Soon, Abel felt like he was in control of the world again, but through the golden Oak Tree symbol this time.
He didn’t know how the Oak Tree could give him the World Stone’s abilities through the shadow, but it was very amusing. After all, he was very worried that he would lose his World Stone’s abilities, considering how much he relied on it in fights.
Abel didn’t know what the change in appearance meant to the Oak Tree, but it must have taken a level-up as a life form!
All the high elves gathered below the Oak Tree. They got on their knees and started to sing in the high elves’ language.
But their Faith did not enter Abel, instead flowing into the Oak Tree.
Abel always knew the Oak Tree needed Faith, but only the Blue Howling Rabbits were enough to satisfy it. It was the first time it had accepted Faith from the high elves!
