Behemoth glanced at Sara and Bonnie beside him and shook his head helplessly. “My Dark Element Affinity isn’t high, so I think I’ll pass.”
Refining demon race treasures was simple, but fully integrating them required an
understanding of the laws of dark elements.
Moreover, his relationship with John was clearly not as close as that of the two women.
Bonnie then spoke up, “Sara, why don’t you give it a try?”
Sara felt tempted but did not agree. Instead, she looked at John and said, “Husband, I’m not in a hurry. Let Bonnie take it. She’s establishing a faction and managing the entire elves, so enhancing her strength is the most important thing.”
“Alright, I’ll make sure to find something good for you next time.” John also believed that giving it to Bonnie was the most suitable choice.
“Wait!” At that moment, Ben stepped forward, looking at Bonnie coldly. “If you want to refine the treasures, you need to sign a soul contract with the Godslayer.”
“Senior, isn’t that a bit too complicated?” John questioned, confused. Bonnie and the others had already sworn loyalty to him; signing a soul contract seemed unnecessary.
Besides, the soul contract was too domineering, and they wouldn’t easily agree to it.
Ben replied, “Kid, I’m doing this for your own good. Your identity is special; don’t trust anyone easily, especially not the gods.”
“What do you mean?” John asked, a bit puzzled. Did this old man sense something?
Ben shook his head, not elaborating, but calmly looking at Bonnie.
“It’s alright; I’m willing to sign the soul contract.” Bonnie was indifferent. After spending time together, she was willing to trust John.
Buzz!
A surge of soul power condensed as she voluntarily initiated the signing of the soul contract. John hesitated for only a moment before not stopping her, and their souls successfully bound together.
As long as he wanted, he could easily erase Bonnie.
Ben then turned to the other eighth-tier powerhouses and continued, “Sign the soul contract, or leave this place.”
“I’m fine with it.” Sara was the first to step forward, willingly signing the soul contract with John.
Behemoth hesitated a bit, but after glancing at the two women, he also agreed to sign the soul contract.
“Lord Ben, do I need to sign too?” Black Turtle asked, puzzled.
Ben frowned and replied, “You decide for yourself. Do you want to pledge loyalty to the Beast Clan or to this human?”
“What do you mean? Are you Beast Clan going to be enemies with me?” John was confused, feeling that Ben’s behavior was somewhat unusual today.
Black Turtle also looked at him in bewilderment.
John was the prophesied savior; the Beast Clan should be doing everything they could to assist him.
Ben shook his head, unwilling to explain further. He glanced at the sky and reiterated, “Godslayer, don’t trust anyone easily, especially the gods. They have returned, and I must leave now.”
Before John could respond, Ben’s figure flickered and vanished into thin air.
Immediately afterward, a massive dark aura enveloped the area as Michelle and Kamal descended.
Both appeared disheveled, with Michelle clearly gravely injured, barely remaining upright with Kamal’s support.
The powerful beings in Death Land looked at them with awe.
Gods were almost an unreachable existence for them, something they could only aspire to in their lifetime.
“Elders, you’re injured?” John asked in surprise. Michelle was a mid-tier god; if she was wounded, it likely meant the attacker was above that level.
Michelle turned to him, her expression menacing, and coldly asked, “Kid, are you related to The Immortals?”
“Yes. What’s it to you?” John nodded; this matter was no longer a secret.
“Hmph, I regret agreeing to your terms!” Michelle snorted, her killing intent palpable.
Sini stepped forward, positioning herself protectively in front of John, staring coldly at Michelle.
Michelle’s gaze flickered, her murderous intent subsiding. She turned to Kamal and said, “You tell him. I’m going to enter seclusion to heal.”
With that, she leaped into the Dark Sea.
“You all can disperse now.” Kamal dismissed the others, leaving only John and Sini behind.
“Elder, what happened?” John asked, looking at her in confusion.
“Ah.” Kamal glanced at Sini and sighed helplessly. “The gods of various races have reached an agreement to pause their infighting, and demigods and above will also refrain from
interfering. But you’re the exception.”
“I’m the exception? Are the gods going to target me?” John was puzzled, his instincts hinting that this was related to his identity as The Immortals.
Kamal nodded and continued, “We, as a couple, have no choice but to restrict the demon race from attacking you. However, we can’t stop the other races’ powerful beings. But don’t worry; they won’t act against you in Death Land.”
“So you’re saying I can only hide in Death Land?” John scoffed, finally understanding the meaning behind Ben’s earlier words.
While Michelle and Kamal appeared to be protecting him, they actually intended to claim his
Death Land.
And he was left with no options.
“Aren’t you gods? Is there no other way?” Sini asked, displeased.
Staying in Death Land wouldn’t help him grow stronger; if he were forced to hide there, it
would be nearly equivalent to imprisonment.
Kamal glanced at Sini and explained, “Gods aren’t invincible. Even so, we’ve already offended
gods from other races.”
With the Divine Path opening, the gods of various races emerged one after another. The demon race was left with only her and Michelle, putting them at a disadvantage.
She continued, “However, you don’t need to worry too much; most of the gods are injured and won’t attack you for the time being.”
After saying this, she ignored the two and entered the Sea of Death to meditate.
Gods are injured?
John was puzzled, not understanding what had happened during the battle.
He regretted not staying behind to watch.
However, the fact that the gods were injured provided him with an opportunity.
“Elsa!” John called for Elsa and several other powerful beings, saying, “We’re going to the
City of Angels!”
The City of Angels still held many angels, and he decided to continue slaughtering them to weaken the God of Light’s power while also enhancing his own strength.
“Old man, I want to go too.” Tracy, who had been trapped for a long time, wanted to join the
action.
“No. You’re still too weak.” John firmly refused her. She had descended into the world of gods in her true form, and if anything went wrong, it would mean real death.
“But I’ve fused with the gods’ treasures and my strength has increased significantly.” Tracy
protested.
“No means no.” John’s attitude was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
Tracy was furious, her gaze flickering as she said, “Old man, how about this: if I defeat you,
let me come with you.”
She was already at the seventh tier, and with the fusion of the gods’ treasures, she felt confident in her ability to defeat John.
“Are you sure?” John looked at her with a playful expression.
Elsa, standing nearby, chuckled, “Little sister, I advise you to give up. My master has killed a
demigod before.”
“Killed a demigod? Really?” Tracy shot her a fierce glare, incredulous at the claim.
She recalled being tricked by Elsa; although Elsa had been subdued by John, she still felt
displeased.
John spoke up, “Alright, you stay in Death Land for now. When I have time to help you improve, and once you fully fuse with the gods’ treasures, you’ll be free to move around.”
“Fine.” Tracy had no choice but to comply.
John took out the map to the City of Angels and activated it directly.
With the seals of the world of gods lifted, all hidden maps and The Secret Area were opened.
He didn’t need to enter the elemental Secret Area; knowing the coordinates was enough to unlock the path to the City of Angels.
Sara, the several eighth-tier strong beings, Elsa, and the Angel Race followers all passed through the spatial passage and arrived in the City of Angels.
Thud!
The group fell unprepared into the Rebirth Pool.
This time, John’s Sword Flight did not backfire. “Elsa!” A surprised voice echoed around them.
The angels guarding the area were startled by the sudden appearance of the group.
The leader, a six-winged angel, glared at Elsa and shouted, “You’ve betrayed Lord God of Light, and you dare to come back!”
“Go!” Elsa, uninterested in small talk, commanded her subordinate angels to attack.
These were all loyal lackeys of the God of Light and could not be subdued.
Whoosh!
The power of light surged, a divine aura enveloping the entire City of Angels.
The six-winged angel looked at Elsa, fear and shock in his eyes as he stammered, “Y-You’ve
actually broken through to demigod? How is that possible?”
“Die!” Elsa dismissed any further conversation, unleashing a sharp beam of sword light that
instantly killed the six-winged angel.
John quickly said, “Elsa, no gods have descended; you don’t need to intervene.”
His purpose for coming here was to increase his strength. With Elsa’s terrifying power, if she
acted, there would be no chance for anyone else to strike.
“Alright, Master, I’ll protect you,” she agreed, positioning herself beside John and Sini.
The sword intent hummed.
John also began his assault. Having broken through to the seventh tier, his power had significantly increased, and he faced the nine-tier six-winged angels without any pressure. [You have killed a level 5000 four-winged angel, gaining 563 million experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated: Light Elemental Affinity +1, Divinity +2, Skill Points +30.]
…
Notification messages flashed, the Divine Path activated, and the experience gain throughout the world of gods was increased tenfold. Additionally, the drop rate for items from bosses was greatly enhanced.
John set his sights on the nine-tier six-winged angels, all legendary figures who would drop
powerful artifacts upon death.
Furthermore, if he could slay 90 six-winged angels, his Wrath of the Gods talent would
upgrade again.
Powerful energy surged as screams echoed, plunging the entire City of Angels into chaos.
Against Elsa and John, these angels were utterly overwhelmed, suffering heavy casualties. John’s target remained the powerful nine-tier six-winged angels.
In just a short time, he had already slain over seventy six-winged angels and leveled up 15
times.
At this rate, he could soon break through to the ninth tier.
“Only 17 more nine-tier angels to go,” John murmured, focusing again on a six-winged angel.
The angel looked terrified and hurriedly shouted, “Quick, call for help from Lord God of
Light!”
