Dark Domain — T.C. Southwell

The Demon Lord must face three dark gods, possibly four, in order to keep the child goddess Kayos has awakened safe. At the same time, he is beset by the people whose domain Sherinias now rules, who do not believe in gods. They know all about evil, and have been trying to fight it for centuries, with dire consequences. Their attempts hamper Bane, however, and place him in additional danger. While most try to kill or capture him, others are persuaded that Bane is not a destroyer and take his side. Sherinias' world is still in a great deal of trouble, falling into darkness as its people destroy it with their careless plunder, and not even Kayos can save it. The city the people have built in the God Realm just outside the realm gate makes it difficult to close the portal, which they strive to keep open, but if it is not closed all manner of gods may enter and put this dark domain and its child goddess in even greater peril.
