Whoosh…
The howling wind whipped through the air, and the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star spun into motion. Star Dust rained down from the sky, crashing into the Shadow Clan’s army and the Hunters below.
The sound of anguished wails echoed around, and John found himself within the formation’s reach.
The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star was an indiscriminate attack. However, with his newfound strength, John no longer feared the assault of this formation.
But the others couldn’t defend themselves. Even the powerful lord of Shadow Star’s main city had to flee in panic from the falling Star Dust.
“Everyone, retreat into the city!” John ordered immediately, then charged toward the city lords.
Killing these figures would allow him to plunder the comprehension of the Shadow laws.
He was curious about what would happen if he increased his understanding of the Shadow laws to 100%.
The city lords saw John charging at them, and they immediately fell into disarray. But none of them retreated.
“Everyone, hold on. Lord God is coming soon!” one of them shouted, fully concentrating on blocking John’s attacks.
Is Shadow Lord God about to intervene?
John’s brow furrowed when he heard that. His attacks became even fiercer.
Countless sword lights and magical abilities rained down, working in tandem with the falling Star Dust to relentlessly assault the city lords.
Among these attacks was the power of the Heaven laws. One after another, the lords were blown apart.
“You human scum, you won’t die easily!” they cursed in fury. They were no match for John, but under the command of Shadow Lord God, they dared not retreat.
Boom! Boom!
Star Dust continued to fall from the sky, and the terrifying damage was enough to overwhelm even upper-tier gods at their peak.
The Shadow Clan army suffered heavy casualties. If they didn’t destroy the formation, they would never capture City 101.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended, and the sky was drenched in blood, thunder booming across the heavens.
The overwhelming pressure seemed as though it could destroy the world.
It was Shadow Lord God!
John’s brow furrowed as he looked up at the sky.
Unlike the previous two times, this wasn’t just a projection, but the true body of Lord God.
The sky turned crimson, filled with a terrifying aura of slaughter. A figure slowly appeared-a middle-aged man.
Blood-red hair, blood-colored robes, and a murderous aura so thick it seemed to imprison space itself, sending chills down the spine.
“It’s Lord Shadow God!”
“Wonderful! We’re saved!”
“Human, this time you will die for sure!”
…
The powerful members of the Shadow Clan, along with the Hunters, fell to their knees in worship, their faces filled with fanatical respect.
John, however, remained proudly floating in midair, gazing directly at the middle-aged man with no sign of fear.
He could sense that, with his current strength, he was still no match for the Lord God. But with the protection of the Heaven laws, Lord God wouldn’t be able to harm him. “Godslayer, do you dare to fight me?” Shadow Lord God’s gaze was cold as he spoke. John sneered and silently raised his middle finger.
“Bastard!” Shadow Lord God cursed, and with a wave of his hand, a flash of blood-red light shot out, not targeting John, but instead aimed at the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star.
Boom!
There was a deafening roar, and the blood-colored light surged. The falling Star Dust shattered, and the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star was completely destroyed. “Retake the walls! Not a single one of these bastards is to be spared!” Shadow Lord God ordered coldly.
“Understood. Kill them!” The roar of battle rang out as the morale of the Shadow Clan army surged. Without the threat of the formation, they charged recklessly towards the walls, fearless of death.
John’s expression changed slightly. Without the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star, they were no match for the Shadow Clan’s powerful warriors.
The situation was set, and he no longer struggled in vain. Quickly, he turned to return to the walls, planning to absorb everyone into World-in-Hand.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a ripple of Spatial power surged. The entire space was locked down, and he found that he couldn’t activate World-in-Hand, nor could he break through the spatial barrier.
“Godslayer, this is the work of Lord God!” Ice Talker said, frowning. She blocked several attacks from upper-tier gods at their peak and quickly warned him.
“Damn it!” John cursed, his gaze cold as he glared at Shadow Lord God.
He hadn’t expected this enemy to be able to block World-in-Hand.
Fortunately, Shadow Lord God didn’t attack immediately.
John quickly spoke, “We have to retreat. Without the formation, the city can’t be held.”
“But old man, these main cities are part of a huge formation. If it activates with full power, its strength will be terrifying,” Tracy replied, unwilling to give up. She could feel that if the formation in these cities was fully activated, it would seal off the entire Shadow Star domain.
At that point, they would all be doomed.
“Then destroy it!” John said coldly. He might not be able to hold the city, but he could
certainly destroy it.
Whoosh!
The fierce wind howled around him. He was still in the state of Heaven and Earth Transformation. The United Sword in his hand grew rapidly, and behind him, the sky was filled with Star Dust, and the reflections of mountains and trees seemed to follow him.
“Creation and Destruction!” John roared, his longsword enveloped with a destructive aura as it swung down with earth-shattering force.
“This is bad!” Shadow God’s expression changed slightly. He could sense the terrifying power of this strike, and he knew that the city walls would not be able to withstand it.
“Human, how dare you!” Shadow God shouted, decisively making his move.
While he couldn’t attack John directly, there was no issue with defending against his attack.
A massive blood-red aura gathered in the air, forming into a giant shield that appeared above
the city.
Boom!
There was a deafening crash as John was forced back, the blood-red shield cracking with deep
fissures before it shattered completely.
“How strong!”
Both John and Shadow Lord God were shaken.
Shadow Lord God’s face turned icy as he waved his hand. A gust of wind surged, and an
invisible force struck, pushing John and the others away from the city, though they were
unharmed.
An invisible barrier then formed, trapping John, his group, and the Shadow Clan and Hunters’
armies inside.
Shadow Lord God’s voice was cold and unwavering: “Human, this is the consequence of offending the Shadow Clan. You will all die here.”
The Shadow Clan and Hunters’ armies roared again as they charged.
John and his group were once again forced into a passive position. The area around them was open, with no city walls in sight, and the pressure mounted significantly.
Although John wasn’t afraid, holding off such a vast number of enemies from all directions
was impossible.
Not to mention, there was still Lord God watching from the sidelines.
Although Shadow God couldn’t act against The Overseer, the others were not protected.
If he decided to go on a killing spree, no one would be able to stop him. “Sini, can you break through this barrier?” John asked quickly, turning to Sini.
She sensed the barrier carefully, then nodded. “Yes, I can. My strength has greatly improved, and this barrier won’t be able to hold us.”
In the past few days, she had slaughtered many powerful Shadow Clan members and Hunters, plundering a vast amount of attributes. Her Power of the Nine Nether had experienced a huge
boost.
John spoke, his voice firm: “As long as you can break through this spatial barrier, I won’t punish you for your actions this time.”
“Alright.” Sini’s eyes brightened, and she agreed decisively.
“Old man, we didn’t do anything wrong in the first place!” Tracy protested, visibly unhappy.
John didn’t respond to her, instead focusing on working with Ice Talker to hold off the enemy’s attacks as best they could.
Under the protection of her companions, Sini carefully sensed the power of the spatial confinement around them, and with all her strength, she activated the Power of the Nine
Nether.
Buzz!
The spatial energy trembled, and the binding force placed by Shadow Lord God began to be
slowly consumed.
“Power of the Nine Nether!” Shadow Lord God exclaimed, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he prepared to strike at Sini.
Suddenly, three system announcements echoed through the air. [Announcement: The Gods’ Game has connected to the Sea Clan Star Domain, Underworld Clan Star Domain, Nature Clan Star Domain…]
[Ragnarok has begun. All Star Domain resources are now fully open.]
…
The announcement sent shockwaves through the battlefield, sparking a frenzy of activity.
“Damn it! That Creator God bastard is trying to set me up!” Shadow Lord God cursed, his face
darkening. He didn’t have time to deal with John and the others anymore. Immediately, he gave a new order.
“Everyone, return to the main city! Activate the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star!”
With a wave of his hand, the formation that had been destroyed in City 101 was completely
restored.
It seemed that Shadow Lord God had mastered the power of the formation, and it was now even stronger than before.
The Shadow Clan army, which had been laying siege to John and his group, began to retreat,
as did the Hunters.
A massive pillar of light shot up from City 101, and soon after, multiple pillars of light appeared in the distance.
These were the major cities of Shadow Star, each one connecting and intertwining with the
others.
Buzz!
The space trembled as a terrifying force rapidly expanded, covering the entire Shadow Star.
It was a massive Great Formation of the Surrounding Star.
John could feel an overwhelming pressure radiating from the formation. The force was so powerful that even Lord God-level beings would likely not be able to resist it.
Fortunately, at that moment, Sini managed to break the spatial lock Shadow God had set up,
and the spatial power began to return.
“Retreat!” John immediately gave the command, activating World-in-Hand to withdraw all
their forces.
Ice Talker also took her subordinates into her World-in-Hand, and then entered John’s
World-in-Hand herself.
As they found themselves back in the familiar environment within World-in-Hand, the group
couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“My Lord, why is the Nature Star Domain also connected to the Gods’ Game?” Terran asked
Ice Talker, his expression filled with concern.
His family was in the Nature Star, and now that it was connected to the Gods’ Game, he feared
for their safety.
Ice Talker’s brow furrowed. She knew some hidden truths, but even she hadn’t expected that the Gods’ Game would suddenly connect to the star domains of all the major Lord Gods. Under normal circumstances, the Gods’ Game wouldn’t connect to other star domains unless
Shadow Star had completely fallen.
“Ragnarok, huh?” John sneered, his voice cold. “The Gods’ Game is trying to devour all the star domains and establish a new order.”
From the memories he had obtained from the Witch Clan’s Burning Sky, John had come to
understand the truth behind the Gods’ Game.
It seemed that the process had accelerated.
“You know about it?” Ice Talker looked at John in surprise.
This final conspiracy was known only to the major Lord Gods. Her position was special, and
only the Nature God had revealed the truth to her.
John glanced at Ice Talker, recalling what she had said earlier, “You mentioned that we have
the same goal-stopping the Gods’ Game from continuing to devour the world?”
“That’s right.” Ice Talker nodded. Since John already knew, there was no point in hiding the
truth anymore.
John frowned, confused. “How do we stop it?”
Ice Talker’s voice was calm as she answered, “It’s simple. Kill the Creator God.” “Simple?” John was left speechless. From the memories he had absorbed from Burning Sky,
he knew how terrifying the Creator God was.
The eight Lord Gods were all creations of the Creator God. If he wished, he could easily
cultivate more beings of Lord God level.
Right now, John could barely handle even a single Lord God, let alone that terrifying Creator
God.
