Of course, these two gifts were not really sent by Satan, but prepared by Ray with his own money. Satan had spent almost 10 years adventuring, but the money he obtained was not much. He followed the adventurer's principle: that money is useful only when used on yourself. He used most of his income to enhance his abilities. Even though he was absolutely not poor, it was impossible to say that he could make a decent gift.

Of course, Satan did not even think about that. In his opinion, the most important thing among friends was mutual respect and mutual help. As for gifts and money… Knight Parne absolutely didn't need them, because he was definitely not poor, although he was not a wealthy man. In his mind, what Knight Parne took to the heart was aristocracy. So when Sui wanted to find a secular lord for his holy place, Satan recommended Knight Parne. This was his gift to his benefactor.

However, Satan and Ray did not share the same ideas. As Ray had an aristocratic background, he highly valued etiquette and wouldn't go empty-handed on a first visit! So when passing a bustling town, he prepared a gift: that set of porcelain.

The level of the craftsmanship in this world was shoddy, and the price of porcelain was quite high; only grand aristocrats could afford especially fine porcelain. Aristocrats who had gone downhill, such as Knight Parne, could only afford some exquisite pottery. A gift of very exquisite porcelain not only showed respect and authority but was also helpful to Knight Parne. Imagine: in the future when guests visited Knight Parne's family, he would be highly respected for entertaining guests with a set of fine porcelain!

But Ray did not realize that Knight Parne had passed away, so on the basis of that set of porcelain, he added a bag of gems.

Knight Parne's family looked quite shocked. In particular, Liv's comment about payment almost let him guess the reason: nothing more than lack of money.

Well, thanks to those magical creatures that came to him, he had very much money these days!

This bag of gemstones was actually a sum of money he specially prepared. About half were aventurine, chalcedony, crystal and other low-grade gems priced around 50 gold coins. The other half were white pearl, agate, turquoise and other cheap gems priced around ten gold coins. The bag also contained a few gems priced around 100 gold coins, such as amber, coral, and spinel; although no higher grade gems. The total value of the bag was about 1,500 gold coins.

This was of course for the convenience of cash back: after all, for precious stones worth thousands of gold coins such as beljuril jewels, diamonds, and Kings' tears, people couldn't find appropriate buyers in smaller towns. When in urgent need of money, they would often be sold for less than they were worth. In contrast, these mid to low-grade gems provided more convenience.

So Ray prepared several bags of such gems, so as to quickly change them into cash when needed. In fact, for him who had a large space bag, even carrying tens of thousands of gold coins led to no inconvenience. It just didn't fit his lifestyle.

Such a bag of gems was also relatively in line with etiquette. Covering a long distance to give a set of porcelain as the gift was sufficiently high-end; but it would have been too grand, and not fit the etiquette if matched with too high-end gems.

The two gifts carefully selected by Ray were welcomed by Knight Parne's family, and little Nice happily picked out the glittering gems from the gem bag. She looked at this and that, and she smiled so that her face flushed. Mrs. Teague and Liv's eyes were completely mesmerized by the set of beautiful porcelain.

"These gifts… are too expensive!" Mrs. Teague said, seeming overwhelmed. She was well aware of the value of this set of porcelain; this was the real treasure compared to the gemstones, which were colorful but not that valuable. Even if it was placed in the duke's drawing room, it wouldn't be out of place. Putting it in the knight's family who was in an abject state seemed to her almost degrading to the set of porcelain. Liv, who had been worried about money during this time was even more stunned. She could not help but mutter, "How much money is this worth!"

She often stopped in front of the upscale shops selling all kinds of gems and handicrafts and admired the finest items, so she was very familiar with these things. In particular, the lack of money during this period made her more sensitive to prices. For example, she easily estimated the price of the bag of gems. Still, she could not figure out the price of this set of porcelain. It was obviously high-end: not even generally known high-end goods, but truly exquisite! There were no goods of this level on store shelves. Only the private inner rooms of the store that weren't open to the public would sell goods at this level.

So what was the value of it?

2000? 5000? More?

Liv, who had been tortured for a long time by lack of money, often felt that her eyes would shine when she saw golden light of money. But this expensive porcelain was so dazzling that she even had a feeling similar to directly looking into the sun, and her eyes being burned.

She only realized tears were flowing down her face when her mother pointed it out to her. Ray and Steele did not speak. Instead, they sat there smiling, waiting for the family's mood to recover.

After a while, the mother and daughters were finally calmed down, and Mrs. Teague took the gift, leaving Liv to carefully collect the set of porcelain, taking extreme care not to break it. As for the gems, although they should have also been carefully collected, they were overshadowed by the porcelain and went hardly noticed.

Although there was some uneasiness in her heart, one of the most important elements of aristocratic etiquette was that you could not refuse gifts. Especially now: these gifts were given by mage Satan as a symbol of the gratitude and grace of salvation, so it was impossible. If she had rejected them, it would have meant not taking the grace of salvation seriously, and with the subtext of the salvation of her own life. That would have been too rude!

"I am very sorry to let you see this rudeness." Mrs. Teague did not hide her family's current predicament, and said with a wry smile, "Thank you very much for your gifts. If you do not mind, would you have dinner with us together in this shabby house?"

This was also etiquette which Ray and Steele were familiar with, so naturally, they would not refuse.

However, when Sui Xiong smelled what was coming from the kitchen, even at a great distance, he could not help but frown.

"Steele, do me a favor," he said quietly.

His taste had been polished up by Steele, who had great cooking skills, since she joined the team. At the moment, he sensed some bad smell coming from the kitchen, and suddenly he felt a little worried about encountering dark dishes in the legends.

Sui Xiong did not understand the aristocratic etiquette. To him, nothing was more important than his stomach. He thought that abusing oneself by eating foods that even dogs disdained while forcing a complimentary smile, all for vanity, was something he saved for chasing his girlfriend on earth. Unfortunately, he failed in this; not because of diet problems, but because the girls hated men who played games. Apart from abusing his taste buds and stomach, she could not tolerate small hobbies such as playing games. Just do what your highness has to do as a princess, while I, brother Xiong, can't serve you!

Mrs. Teague was astonished when Steele said she was going to the kitchen – it was different than what she was used to. But she quickly realized the reason and nodded and smiled bitterly. If she herself sat in the living room now, who would be busy in the kitchen? She, even as a mother, was very aware of Liv's awful cooking skills! She had no choice but to accept Steele's request: after all, she could not let her guests eat Liv's food. Your guests traveled a long distance to visit you, so it couldn't be justified to disgust your guests with your dark dishes! Mrs. Teague thought.

When Steele came to the kitchen, Liv awkwardly smiled. Her face was full of restlessness while she struggled with all kinds of cookers, all the while making the food stranger. She knew she had done a bad job this time.

"Wash your face and hands, and I'll be ready soon," Steele said. She did not laugh at Liv, but smiled, still as warm as a spring breeze. Then she occupied herself with the cooking.

Her culinary skills were superb. Even her movements while cooking were full of rhythm. Her enchanting appearance always aroused men around her; she had especially perfected this, and it was obvious. Liv, who looked envious, was helping alongside her. She unconsciously mimicked Steele's actions. But when she realized the difference in their physiques, her envy turned to frustration.

As a girl with a quarter elven blood, Liv was also considered somewhat beautiful. However, the elves of Moon had never been known for being sexy, and almost all of the female tribesmen had flat breasts, which was not obvious with her mother. However, Liv's body clearly reflected the style of the elves of moon maybe; because of their ancestors. Although she was taller than Steele, in terms of the charms of women… Alas! Don't mention such a sad topic! She looked at Steele's hot body and looked at her own which could be a juvenile knight's body if she wore a helmet and another set of clothes. This made her sad, and she returned to the living room.

Seeing the eldest daughter coming back from the kitchen, Mrs. Teague frowned, a little dissatisfied with the faux pas. But seeing her daughter's look of frustration, she quickly guessed the reason. Mothers know their daughters best, and she could not help but shake her head. Elves never cared about boring issues of stature, but the problem was a headache for mixed-race children living in the human society. Her daughter seemed to inherit her father's talent, so she performed well in fencing, riding, shooting, and academics. But in terms of women's special abilities, she understood almost nothing.

…Perhaps this time, it is not a bad thing for her to be upset.

Mrs. Teague told Liv to entertain the guests and take care of Nice so that she wouldn't make trouble. Then she went to the kitchen.

Perhaps Miss Steele can cook alone very well, but it's not hospitable to leave guests busy with cooking.

When Mrs. Teague went to the kitchen, Ray asked, "Miss Liv, I just noticed one thing. May I take the liberty of asking?"

Of course Liv did not mind his 'presumptuous question,' but when she heard the exact content of the question, her face turned sullen.

He had asked about the origin of the crossbow arrow on the corner of the door.

"That piece of the crossbow arrow embedded in the wall was shot by an enhanced heavy crossbow, correct? This crossbow is extremely regulated; I am afraid that the entire Golden Tower City only has one or two. Why did someone use that to cause you trouble?"

Liv was silent for a moment and sighed deeply.

"…It is a long story!"

Because she already felt that they were reliable friends, she no longer hid. She told them the whole story.

About five years ago, the Church of the God of Aristocracy sent a highly skilled senior priest to come and strengthen its power management in the Golden Tower City. The God of Aristocracy was an active member of the human deity system. Although her ranking with the deity was not high, the goddess who was apotheosized more than 200 years ago had been actively promoting the faith. On the one hand, her church strengthened its cooperation with adventurers; on the other hand, it took advantage of the aristocracy to crowd out the church organizations of other Gods.

However, she also had opponents. Including those from afar, there was a God in the human deity system that had a very bad relationship with her: the God of Knights and Exploration.

In terms of divine power and mighty power, the God of Knights was a veteran strongman in the human deity system. It has been tens of thousands of years since he had been apotheosized, and his qualifications were even higher than the holy king of the contemporary human deity system. He symbolized the pioneering and safeguarding of the human military organization. In ancient times, he was once even the holy king of human deities. The subsequent decline in power was due to the continuous development of human society, the emergence of new Gods, the differentiation of his clergy and fields, and the reduction of his faith. Even so, he was much stronger than the God of Aristocracy.

The strength of Gods could not directly determine the outcome of the competitions between their churches in the human world. Knights, because of inherent disadvantage in status, were fatally suppressed by the aristocrats, so that the Church of the God of Knights was also at a disadvantage, and almost became the vassal of the Church of the God of Aristocracy. However, in some pioneering territories, homeless knights and church knights were the main force, so their church could not be suppressed.

The missions of the Church of the God of Aristocracy often started by invading and annexing belief in the Church of the God of Knights. The city of Quinta was no exception.

In the face of an overbearing Church of the God of Aristocracy, Knight Parne was the most prestigious knight in the Golden Tower City. He was not allegiant to any one of the lords, and had certainly become the mainstay of the Church of the God of Knights against aggression. As the leader of the secular forces of the Church of the God of Knights, he fouled the conspiracy of the Church of the God of Aristocracy again and again, and firmly held the position of faith. Despite the various tricks placed by the newcomer senior priest of the God of Aristocracy, he never gained the upper hand.

This situation lasted for three years, until the accident.

About two years ago, a well-off businessman who had been operating for many years in the local area decided to make a big sale. He prepared a lot of magic materials from demon beasts, and intended to travel by sea to the Kingdom of Blue Moon in the eastern part of the continent, and trade with the Gars City that was rich in fragrant leaves (an edible middle and low-class spice).

The trading of spices and magic materials had always been the most profitable business, and of course, the most dangerous. Mostly, the business required people to travel a lot on the ocean where storms, horrible sea creatures, and an endless stream of pirates all could lead to tragic shipwrecks and casualties. In order to ensure the security of the trades, the businessman issued an invitation to almost all of the relatively reliable adventurers in the entire Golden Tower City. In the end, a dozen or so masters, including Knight Parne, decided to trade together. At the suggestion of the businessman, they also took out almost all their savings, purchased the magic materials, and set off together.

Normally, there were so many masters, and the businessman had specially invited several experienced master captains, so the safety of the fleet would be relatively high. However, they did not understand why the fleet encountered so many terrible monsters. They passed Undercurrent Timsar while bypassing the Great Wild Horn, the Iron Cliff Mountains in the southeast. Undercurrent Timsar was the most horrible and most dangerous sea monster on the southeastern coast, and it was said to be a nightmare at sea. Fleets that encountered it almost never survived.

It is said that in ancient times, there was once a powerful demigod named The Living Tsunami, or Sarament, who was the embodiment of the storm and the waves. It was one of the most horrifying hegemonists on the sea. But it failed when it tried to be apotheosized, and countless years of accumulated terror and resentment tore its body as a demigod, dividing it in two: Angry Tide Heimsarah and Undercurrent Timsar.

Angry Tide Heimsarah was a cranky but rational demigod, who liked to wander in the offshore areas. Whenever people saw a sudden rainstorm accompanied by a huge wave sweeping the wasteland and islands, they knew it was coming. At this time, people often offered sacrifices to it and prayed for its blessing. Generally, a third of the prayers were replied to, but as long as it responded to people's prayers, it would temporarily stop drifting to protect the sea from dangerous monsters and storm attacks. About a year or two after that, it would drift away in a rainstorm, and people wouldn't know where it had gone.

Undercurrent Timsar, on the other hand, was a monstrous beast that only knew about destruction and killing. There was absolutely no way to communicate with it. Whenever it appeared, a huge shadow was cast across the sea floor, and the sea would be overwhelmed by decaying fog and icy cold waves. Countless souls of innocent people and immortal creatures surrounded it in the water, crazily attacking all creatures in the sea and eventually dragging them all into the abyss of death. It came without a warning and left without a trace, and if there was a sudden darkening of the sky and darkening of the sea beneath it, it was usually too late to escape its clutches.

Knight Parne's fleet encountered this terrible monster. They tried their best to fight it, but ultimately only one boat escaped. The remaining ships, including the flagship of the fleet (the businessman on the flagship) and the ship Knight Paine was on, failed to escape and sank to the seafloor. The senior priest of the Church of the God of Aristocracy, who was also in the fleet at that time, was said to have fought bravely but could not save his own life.

Almost a year ago, the fortunate escaped ship was returned to the Commonwealth of Mifata, the maritime commerce route was established, and future sea merchants would be able to reap sumptuous profits. But those who died in the search for the commerce route could not come back.

When bad news spread to the Golden Tower City, at least a quarter of the city's families were devastated. But before anyone could recover, the Church of the God of Aristocracy suddenly came forward with pre-signed contracts to collect debt from all of them.

According to the contracts, adventurers, including Knight Parne, were participating in this voyage by way of buying shares. If they earned money, they could get dividends in accordance with their shares; and if they lost, of course, they would lose money in accordance with the shares.

There was nothing inherently wrong with the contracts; but until then, people were surprised to find that the businessman actually borrowed a staggering amount of money from the Church of the God of Aristocracy.

According to the original contracts, Knight Parne and others held a lot of shares, and so their families were deep in debt. The various families that lost dividends and capital because of the shipwreck could not find so much money, so they suddenly fell into trouble.

The Church of the God of Aristocracy was not made up of good men and women. The members immediately pressed the families for the debt. The families of two of the adventurers were forced to commit suicide, and many of the rest were forced to sign contracts, betraying their faith and labor and becoming subordinates of the Church of the God of Aristocracy.

The crossbow arrow on the corner of Knight Parne's House was left by the debtors, in order to threaten Liv during a conflict between them.

Fortunately, some families, including the family of Knight Parne, still had some contacts. A senior mage intervened and convinced the Church of the God of Aristocracy to allow for a grace period. They hesitantly agreed but also asked for interest.

In order to pay off the debt, Liv became an adventurer who set up an adventurers' group with children from families that also bore huge debts. They worked hard to hunt dangerous monsters and make money to pay the debts. However, the Church of the God of Aristocracy used commercial means to greatly suppress the city's magic material procurement prices. Often, the children risked their lives fighting, only to come up short on paying off their interest!

Under such circumstances, the boys and girls were, of course, getting increasingly anxious. The Church of the God of Aristocracy pressed for the debts occasionally by reminding them that their debts were increasing, and their repayment dates approaching. They were like ghosts hammering nails in someone's coffin.

"So… when we arrived, did you think that we were from the Church of the God of Aristocracy?" Ray asked.

Liv nodded and angrily said, "Damn those guys!"

"Didn't anyone else visit you?" Ray asked again.

Liv shook her head with some frustration. "No, my father's friends either died in the voyage, or got cut off from us because they were forced away by the power of the Noble Maid (the God of Aristocracy), and now only we young people can help and encourage each other… But I could not see any hope."

"Sister, do not be sad! Now we have money!" Little Nice, seeing her sister again get depressed, hurriedly grabbed a few gems to show her. "Look, so many gems! You could pay off the debt! "

Even a little girl is intuitive: although she could not estimate the price of these precious stones, her resourceful nature told her that the gems were worthwhile and sufficient for paying off their debts.

Seeing Nice's look of care and happiness, Liv could not help but laugh.

"Yes, as we are blessed by Mr. Satan, we do not have to worry about the debts," she said. "But it is hard for me to be happy thinking about my partners' situations."

She did not want to borrow money because everyone's collective debt was so large. Even if Mr. Ray and Miss Steele were willing to lend them money, they could not carry such a huge sum of money with them from far away.

Ray pondered and slightly frowned.

"I still feel there is something wrong with all this…"

Ray frowned, thinking hard while talking to himself.

"There does not seem to be any problem at all, and it is not uncommon that failed investments have caused a number of families to suffer heavy losses and huge debts… But to persuade people like Knight Parne to join the voyage, who have settled here for many years? Certainly, the travelers would have to be sure of a good outcome. After all, for them, if a good outcome was at least 70% certain—no, if it were only 70%, they would not take the risk! They have families, careers, and definitely have no reason to risk their lives striving for wealth!"

"But… where is the problem? It's quite clear that the Golden Tower City is not a coastal city, but why did that businessman choose to venture an ocean trade? It was not too hard to understand; maybe he quietly caught up with the city of Gars. Merchants are profit-driven: as long as they can make money, it doesn't matter to them even they are asked to travel across the ocean. And since he explored commerce routes that time, it would have been easier to cause trouble if they recruited partners when they had arrived at cities near a seaport.

"So, it was clear he that took on a lot of shareholders, but also privately borrowed a lot of money and had debts? I suppose that was normal since he was 100% sure about the voyage trade, which was also the first trade that was the most lucrative, of course, the capital should be as much as possible. No borrowing would have been abnormal!

"Was the problem with the chief priest who was in the Church of Noble Maids? No, he was behaving normally… While watching his opponent and for profits, he bought a good deal of the same kinds of goods and got into the boat. Also, in the face of Timsar, he fought to his death. The whole process could not be seen as strange or suspicious. The suspicious detail was where the church found all that money. Sure, the church bought a large batch of goods, but could they also lend others a lot of money? Actually, it is not strange that the Church of Noble Maids had huge sums of money because they relied on many large aristocrats… Perhaps it was because of the huge sums of money that had been lent. The chief priest followed them on board wanting to supervise the process of this business himself…

"…All are wrong! But surely there was something else wrong!"

Ray pondered for a long time, but after all, he could not find the key to the problem, and ultimately he appealed to Sui Xiong for help.

After dinner, they came to the hotel for a rest after they bid farewell to Mrs. Teague, Liv, and Nice. Steele again secretly went to some unknown place, and Ray and Sui discussed.

"There must be something wrong with this!" Ray said, "Although I still cannot find out where the problem is, I can smell a conspiracy!"

"Yes, this is something wrong with this!" Sui nodded repeatedly. "Knight Parne and the others had no reason to cross the sea because they were not short of money!"

"Actually, they were short of money," Ray said. "It was definitely a matter of a large sum of money when the Church of Exploring Knights (the alias of the God of Knights and Exploration) was struggling to fight against the Church of Noble Maids. Those Knights were not rich, and a few years before I'm afraid it was difficult for them to support their families. Since they saw a safe and lucrative opportunity, they certainly would not let it go."

"Fair enough. Plus, through the voyage, it was possible to enhance their social relations, as long as the risk was not great. It was not more than a year or so."

"Well, because the chief priest of the Church of Noble Maids was also on board, they did not have to worry about being caught, and the reason for the captain embarking was very good. There was nothing wrong." Ray pondered for a long time but finally, he still found no solution. "Your Majesty, why not simply use your magic?" Ray asked.

"Magic? There is no magic for detecting other gods inside the church." Sui Xiong said. He thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Only some gods with holy missions, such as conspiracies, spies, and so on, have such special spells."

"Isn't there is a spell with which you could invite some unknown singular existence to answer questions? It seems that they could answer most questions correctly…"

"Oh, you are talking about that series of spells. Although I don't think they are necessarily useful, let's try it anyway." Inspired, Sui began to prepare spells. A moment later, accompanied by black smoke and cold evil atmosphere, a terrible ghostly face appeared in front of them, watching them with the cold eyes that could freeze one's marrow.

Ray was somewhat horrified to be seen by it and hurriedly spoke. "Please answer my question. Was there a conspiracy behind the death of Knight Parne?" he asked.

The look on the face became a little confused, which meant it was using its talent to spy on the long river of life to search for the answer to this question. But before it could find the answer, the face suddenly became frightened and disturbed. Then the face distorted, accompanied by a shrill yell. It blew into a cloud of smoke. Then, all the smoke and cold air started to spin, becoming a whirlpool and disappearing without a trace.

"What's going on?" Ray asked doubtfully, startled.

"There was a strong presence that acted," Sui Xiong said, easily spotting the problem. "But I'm not sure whether this person deliberately a magic lock so that all the spells related to the search were automatically triggered, or he set up an alert that enabled him to act himself when the alert is turned on."

Ray was silent for a moment and asked, "How strong is he, roughly?"

"This is hard to say. In the former case, it is almost infinitely strong," Sui said. "Even in the latter case, it is still formidable."

"Compared to you?"

"No matter how strong the opponent is, as long as I do not rashly intrude into the other world and do not fight against it with means such as fate, I am afraid of no enemies in the ordinary battle of mankind."

Ray thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Oh! Even if you want to continue to track down this conspiracy, there are no clues!" Ray helplessly said. "Without clues, no one can solve it!"

Sui Xiong also sighed, as a God was not omnipotent.

After a while, Ray said, "Your Majesty, Knight Parne has passed away. Are you still going to find a lord for the Holy Land that is about to be built?"

"Of course. I just haven't figured out who to look for," Sui said. "It is not that easy to find an administrative talent who is competent, has good character and has no conflicts with me in terms of faith."

"I know a few people who may be qualified," Ray said, pondering. "Although it has been a long time since I contacted them, their abilities are definitely suitable. And in terms of faith… Maybe there would not be huge problems. What I am not sure of is what their character are like now. After all, people change."

"If they are a good fit, allow them to try. Where do they live?"

"Eagle Wing City, capital of Kingdom of Eagle," Ray said. "At least 15 years ago, were all in Eagle Wing City. I haven't heard anything about them these years, but they probably still live there."

"That's fine." Sui Xiong nodded first, solidifying his intention. But the next morning, after a night of thinking, he changed his mind.

"Things can't go like this!" he said. "The deaths of the group of good people headed by Knight Parne are not resolved, and their families are still under pressure. Since I have encountered such a thing, I have no reason to stay aside, idle!"

"Should we pay their debt?" Ray asked.

"I'm not comfortable with that…" Sui said.

"Things need to be done step by step. We should help them solve their immediate trouble before we do other things," Ray said. "Not to mention that if there really is a conspiracy behind this thing, we would disrupt the follow-up plans of those who plotted this after we pay the debts. Then those evil people will come to cause trouble for us. At that time, the clues will come naturally to us, won't they?"

Sui Xiong nodded, amazed.

Ray's vision and tactics were indeed good. If he was not so disinterested in being a lord, perhaps it would be a good choice to make him the lord of his Holy Land.

Encouraged by Sui, Ray was more proactive and made plans after some consideration. His plans needed to severely agitate those evil people who made the plot, and let them lose their cool to present themselves.

A few hours later, they visited Knight Parne's home again. Liv had gone out that day, and only Mrs. Teague and little Nice were at home. When they learned that Mr. Ray had contacted the lord through magic, and that the Lord had said he could help those people in trouble pay the debt, they could not help but be surprised.

"But… That is a staggering number!" Mrs. Teague was stunned, and stumbled.

"How much?" Ray asked.

"My sister has counted that, which is a total of…" Nice tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said a number enough to frighten families that were relatively wealthy. "Ah! And how could I not count the interest? I do not know…"

This number was not beyond Ray's expectation. He smiled softly and said, "Rest assured, even with the interest it is not a big issue. I will go to raise the money, and after Miss Liv comes back, would you invite her and those friends here tomorrow so that we can talk about it in detail? How about it?"

"No problem!" Answered Mrs. Teague immediately. Then she worriedly said, "But… it is not a small sum of money! The tax that we Golden Tower City can dispose of is no more than 2000 gold coins a year…"

"That's because most aristocrats do not pay tax on all kinds of businesses," Ray said with a smile. "Do not worry. Our Lord is new-rich. This is indeed not a small number, but to him, it's nothing more than a grimace." He grimaced to prove his point, which was so funny that little Nice laughed.

After the deal was finalized, Ray took his leave. He woke up Steele, who was still fast asleep. On the back of her hands, the number of red flames increased to seven; she was about to change into a pig. The two went together to several stores that mainly dealt with magical materials, spent all the cash and gems, and acquired as much as they could with as many magical materials as possible at low prices.

Thanks to the fact that the Church of Noble Maid suppressed the market for magic materials during this period, the prices of such things in Golden Tower City were indeed low. They easily acquired a large number of materials. By simply going to other cities, they could have some profit even if they sold it at lower prices. But how could Sui Xiong be satisfied with selling them at lower prices? After leaving the city, Sui Xiong left Ray as the coordinate, cast the magic spell of transmission, and took Steele to cross almost half of the continent back to the Territory of Geerteng. They finally went to the Black Blade Wall.

Since the last accident, Sui Xiong had made a lot of effort on the magic of transmission. During this time, he had successfully identified several devout followers as coordinates of transmission. It could only transmit another body that was smaller and weaker. It could not deliver their own bodies, which were overly powerful and too bulky, because of the limits of the magic of transmission. However, it was sufficient for delivering goods.

They directly went to visit the lord and showed him the magic materials. Olian instantly brought together several big aristocrats and merchants in the territory to jointly discuss a scheme to make a fortune.

After a few hours of discussion or argument, the batch of materials was sold at a very good price. The aristocrats and wealthy merchants involved in the trade also smiled, and everyone was satisfied.

Carrying a space bag filled with gold coins and gems, Sui Xiong returned to the Golden Tower City with Steele and met Ray, who was still frivolously tossing about the copper dragon and trying to train it as his horse.

The proceeds of this transaction alone was worth several times the debts!

"Actually, it is business that brings money quickly!" Ray took the space bag and was completely dumbfounded with one glance. Before long he could not help but say, "Better not to find anyone anywhere. Let's directly concentrate on doing business everywhere on the continent. I think as long as you keep doing this for three, maybe five years, the wealth you'll accumulate will be enough to buy a country!"

"Do not dream about that!" Sui Xiong laughed. "How often can we do this kind of thing! As a god, how can I abuse the advanced spell of transmission to do business… Even if I didn't care about my self-respect, other gods are unlikely to agree with it because it violates rules. When you think about it, basically any god can do this, so why wouldn't other gods do it?"

Ray thought, shook his head, and sighed. He did not know the world of gods, but what His Majesty said made sense. It would be like a royal knight contest, which turned out awkwardly because the prince himself participated it! And yet, this kind of thing maybe seems so familiar! Ray thought. He touched his nose and laughed awkwardly.

Early the next morning, they came to Knight Parne's home. This time, not only Mrs. Teague and her two daughters welcomed them, but also a dozen young boys and girls. They were a bit worried, but they showed more hope than worry on their face. All of them had some anxiety in their eyes because they saw the chance of paying their debt.

Ray did not waste any time and came straight to the point, saying, "We've gathered all the money needed." These words were concise and to the point, but had a great effect. The eyes of the boys and girls all brightened; even their breathing increased.

"Excuse me… what do you need us to do?" An older, seemingly prudent youth asked. "Frankly speaking, if you really paid off such a big sum of money for us, we would be very uneasy. "

Ray nodded, smiled and said, "Then the money will be my investment in you. If you are able to grow up and grow into good people, then you deserve this investment. If you are not… that will mean I have a bad luck. "

This seemed at first glance quite justified. But, if people carefully thought about, it showed Ray's extreme disposition as a hero: nothing more than a variant of "I make friends with all of you." The approach of paying a sum of money heavier than a bounty to make friends with everyone was simply unbelievable!

"Sir, please do not kid us, okay?" The young man said with a knowing smile. "Maybe for you this money is nothing, but to us, it is a terrifying amount that can almost crush us. We cannot bear such an investment, which will make us very uneasy!"

Ray did not hurry to answer. His eyes slowly swept over the boys and girls, and he saw almost the same message in the face and eyes of everyone.

He could not help but laugh again. "I am very happy to meet such a group of upright young people like you, so let us use a way to reassure you…The money is an infinite interest-free loan, but if necessary I'll give you some more so that you can grow up well. When you are strong enough, then you can slowly save money to repay that. I believe that a mature adventurer can absolutely pay off this loan."

This time, boys and girls were relieved, and they clearly looked much more assured.

"This group of young lads and ladies are really interesting!" Sui Xiong said smilingly with the heart connection, "Most people try every possible mean to take advantage of others. On the other hand, they didn't take advantage, but seemed to be relieved instead after bearing the debt."

"They are upright people, so no doubt they are believers of the Knight of Exploration! And I can count on how good the parents who taught them are!" Ray said with admiration. Then with regret, he said, "What a pity! That group of excellent knights died in the boundless sea."

Speaking of this, Sui was suddenly reminded of their plan. "It's better to ask them," he said. "Maybe they have some clues."

So Ray asked these young people about their doubts. But all of them seemed very confused, and all said they knew nothing. Still, Ray clearly saw that that young man who spoke as the representative had a cold light in his eyes. It seemed that he was different from the others and knew something special.

So when the boys and girls thanked them, took enough money to repay the debt and left, Ray also left to quietly keep up with that young man. Soon after, he came to that young man's home.

This was a simple wooden hut that defined the phrase 'there are only four walls in the family's house.' Judging the place, Ray thought they had sold most of the furniture recently. It was clear that this young man was almost in a hopeless case.

Although he was abject to this point, he could gain everyone's trust and speak in his capacity as representative. According to the attitude of the crowd, he appeared to have a status higher than Liv's in the small group of juvenile boys and girls.

This was not easy! At least Ray felt that most likely, he wasn't that capable.

The young man did not feel Ray's visit was an accident. He still had the decency to pour him a glass of water.

"Sorry; now I have no servant, no food, and no wine here," the boy said. "Actually, when a friend visits, we, by all means, must serve him with wine according to the rule made by my uncle; but I just sold the last bottle of wine a few days ago, and now there is only water in the house."

Although he was talking about frustrating things, he laughed brightly without any trace of gloom. "My name is Zesheng. A few months ago I had a surname of 'Xiyu' but now it has gone because our manor and fiefs were sold. May I ask your name?"

"Ray. Just call me Ray." Ray smiled and said, "One's surname is in fact not that important. Inheriting the surname from your ancestors is good, but it's better to create your own surname and let others inherit it. I believe you are of the latter. "

"Ha-ha! Mr. Ray, you think highly of me!" Zesheng laughed loudly and happily.

After laughing, he started telling what he knew.

Originally, he did not seem to know more than the others. But when he sold the manor and fief, he occasionally learned some unusual news. It was said that before the chief priest of Church of the God of Aristocracy started, he had arranged his successor, and he almost went on board empty-handedly because he left some of the most powerful magic props in the local shrine.

Zesheng specifically asked those on the only surviving ship. Coincidentally, almost every one of them was impressed by the chief priest, and even those who had not seen him before clearly remembered how he died. When they met Timsar, the chief priest held high the holy emblem of the God of Aristocracy and prayed loudly. His body shone with a bright light which once even blocked the erosion of the decaying shadows.

He only resisted for a short time and was soon swallowed by the darkness and erosion that swarmed to him before being killed by Timsar. But it was precisely because of his efforts that he attracted the attention of horrible creatures that allowed the ship with a survivor to escape.

It was also the reason that no one ever doubted that the Church of the God of Aristocracy was playing tricks. Only the craziest person could doubt a warrior that sacrificed himself for others!

However, Zesheng found something wrong with the description of those survivors. In the face of Undercurrent Timsar, a horrible monster, could a chief priest only use such a conspicuous and simple means to confront it? And, as a priest of an evil god, why should he actually sacrifice himself to save others?

This didn't make sense! This didn't make sense at all!

He secretly asked a pastor of the God of Knights, a mighty chief priest about what should be done when encountering a magical creature like Timsar. The pastor replied after meditating. In his case, he should pray that God would bestow grace upon him, allowing him to detonate all the sacred powers he accumulated over the years, and to try his best to give that monster a heavy blow.

"You are a good pastor. How about in the case of an evil priest?" Zesheng continued to ask.

"An evil priest is the same. Good priests protect others, and evil priests attack the enemy. Although the starting points are different, the final choices are not," the pastor answered without hesitation.

Zesheng was even more dubious. What exactly was the reason the chief priest of the God of Aristocracy chose such an honorable, but not so helpful, way to fight? Why not choose a direct detonation?

He considered and could only come to one conclusion.

The priest did so to save a few people and to let those people clearly see how he died, so they would not suspect him or the Church of the God of Aristocracy. As for why he would make everyone not suspect himself and the church, there could only be one conclusion, too.

Everything was a pre-arranged conspiracy!

His story ended here. Through the process, Ray didn't speak and instead listened quietly until he had heard all the narratives. Then he asked his question after some thought.

"That is to say, all this is actually your guess, and there is no reliable evidence?"

"Yes, I have no evidence," Zesheng said with a smile. "If this was a conspiracy, then there would not be many people involved, perhaps only the businessman uncle who organized the voyage. But he also died on the sea, along with his butler. And I couldn't investigate it even if I wanted to."

Ray frowned. As Zesheng said, if this was the conspiracy of the chief priest of the Church of the God of Aristocracy, then the conspiracy was too ruthless. In order to preach, the chief priest sacrificed not only his partners, but also himself.

They might not have been able to find any clues—at least not in the Golden Tower City—if they wanted to investigate into such a conspiracy.

"What about discussing it with Aunt Teague?" Ray suggested.

Seeing him frowning, Zesheng said, "When my uncle was still alive, we often went to discuss with Uncle Parne and Aunt Teague whenever there were any problems. He said Aunt Teague was a very intelligent and talented person who, although lacking some long-term vision, could often draw up good plans when there were established goals. She could find problems and pitfalls in plans that others didn't."

Ray was slightly surprised. "Then why don't you ask her?"

"It was not necessary before," Zesheng said with a crooked smile. "At that time, Aunt Teague could not even protect herself. Even if I told her the information, what use would it be, besides having her worry in vain?"

Ray sighed and accepted his advice. Soon after, he again visited Knight Parne's house and told Aunt Teague Zesheng's information.

Chapter 101: Chapter 101

"I never knew that Xiao Xiyu already knew about this." Madame Teague said. What was even more surprising was that when Ray told Madame Teague about Zesheng, she was not surprised at all. Instead she sighed, "This kid is too smart!"

"Ah? Madame Teague, you knew about this?" Ray was surprised.

"Of course, my husband's death in the sea is still a mystery to me; I am his wife and I need to carefully do some research about this," Madame Teague said calmly. "I didn't think this was just coincidence from the very beginning. It is a conspiracy, and I believe that whoever benefits most from an incident is the most suspicious. So I started my research in the Noble Maids Church, and I quickly got the clue."

She smiled, and said, "Although I have been living in retirement for many years, I was once a very experienced adventurer. In fact, I was very famous for being an adventurer who travelled all over the place. Besides, I am much more efficient than that green hand, Xiao Xiyu."

Ray finally understood, and laughed.

All this time, he had underestimated Madame Teague's ability, and it never occurred to him that how could it be possible for an ordinary woman to be solivelyand talk sojoviallywith a bunch of powerful adventurers. Knight Parne himself was an advanced knight, and Madame Teague was at least an adventurer of the intermediate level; so there was a great chance that she could be as strong as her husband!

"If you knew everything, why have you kept silent all this time?" He was confused.

"Who do you think I could talk to, then?" Madame Teague sighed. "My children are still very weak, and knowing this would do them no good. Besides, all my old friends have either died together with my husband, or defected to the Noble Maids Church. I had no choice but to bury this secret at the bottom of my heart, settle my children in other places, and then ask someone to research this."

"Still, you should have told me this!" Ray said. "Since I have already gotten involved in this business, I should do something about it! Besides, I am really powerful. If I cannot help you, I can get my companions to help you. If they can't help you either, I can even ask His Majesty to help you."

"You are a real knight! I don't want to get others into danger for me."

Ray could not help but laugh, and said, "Madame Teague, since you have already admitted that I am a knight, I am sure that you know that it is normally the knight who decides whether he should get himself into a certain business or not."

He stood up and became very serious. "As a knight myself, I have to do something to destroy this vicious conspiracy! And I swear on my honor that I will try my best to destroy every conspiracy and punish the guilty!"

Hearing these words, Madame Teague was totally persuaded by Ray. Once a knight had sworn on his honor to help someone, one could never refuse the offer. If one was still not willing to accept his offer, they would insult the knight's honour.

Now that the two had reached a consensus on this key issue, things would go smoothly in the future.

Madame Teague told Ray the information she had already collected. Compared with the information Zesheng had collected, hers was much more detailed, especially on some critical issues, which made Ray feel very excited. For example, she got the information about the man who had made some contact with the businessman who sailed away.

That man was called Sean Riley, the son of the castellan of Garth Town. He was in charge of the business activity in Garth Town. To create a new business route, he sailed to the Mifata Federation and happened to meet with the businessman who was doing business in the White Pagoda Bay. Since then, they had become friends.

If there was any conspiracy behind Madame Teague's husband's death, this Sean Riley must have had something to do with it; and there was a big chance that he was the co-partner of the officiant.

Ray nodded and said, "This piece of information is really crucial! I have thought this through! I will immediately make my departure with Steele to find this Sean Riley, and talk with him."

"He is not here. He is either in Garth Town or Cloud Pagoda Bay."

"Cloud Pagoda Bay? Hadn't they met each other at White Pagoda Bay?"

"White Pagoda Bay is the most important bay in our Federation, and the good and the bad are mixed here together. There are countless powerful figures and organizations here. To make sure of their own security, they would definitely choose White Pagoda Bay as their transit," Madame Teague said. "Cloud Pagoda Bay is not that big, but for a merchant fleet, it is big enough. More importantly, the ruler of the Cloud Pagoda Bay is an advanced wizard, and when Sean Riley got into a fight with him, it would have been much easier for Sean to deal with him than with a legendary wizard. Besides, he had got a small appetite."

Ray nodded, and asked her what he should mind.

"There is only one thing that you should be careful with," Madame Teague said. "My whole family and me, who will come with you two."

"What?!" Ray was stunned. "This is impossible! I know you are very powerful, and Miss Liv is also capable to have a fight, but how could you make Miss Nice to join us too?"

"You are doing all this for me, and you are willing to take the risk to find out the reason why my husband died. Of course I can't not allow you to take the risk while I stay at home and do nothing about this. Thus, I have to come with you two," Madame said peacefully. "If I go with you, Liv and Nice will not be strong enough to protect themselves. Leaving them behind means I am giving them away to the enemy. So I have to take them with me."

"There is really no need for you to come, please have faith in yourself."

"It has nothing to do with your ability. Like you said, you are a knight and have your own principles and honor. I, as the wife of Parne, also have my own principles and honor," Madame Teague said gently but in a very determined way. "If you think we three are a burden, we can follow you two behind. I promise I won't make any trouble for you. But to be honest, I think the best choice is for us to go together."

Ray frowned and looked at Steele, who was carefully listening, hoping to get some support from her.

Steele said, "I think Madame Teague is right. I think we should better go together."

Ray hadn't thought Steele would agree with Madame Teague, so he turned to Sui Xiong.

"I don't see any problems with her coming with us," Sui Xiong said. "Is there anything wrong with a wife wanting to avenge her husband and finding the reason for his death? And it is also right for a daughter to do so for her father. As for young Nice, do you think we should leave her alone?"

"But… it is too dangerous! There may be a big fight!" Ray was very mad. "Haven't you thought about how dangerous this may be? And Nice is still too young!"

Sui Xiong finally got what he meant and began to curse. "Sh*t! What's wrong with you? Are you doubting my power? If you can't protect her, you still have me! No matter how big a fight we may face, I can definitely protect her!"

Ray was heavily criticized by Sui Xiong, and he forced out a smile.

Things were settled then. Madame Teague and her family would go together with them. Madame Teague was indeed a vigorous and resolute person. She immediately began to pack with Nice, and put all the valuable objects or anything that was memorable away. When Liv came back home after paying all the debt, she was stunned to see that her house had been emptied.

"What… what is going on?" she asked. "Are we moving away?"

"No, we are going to Cloud Pagoda Bay." Madame Teague felt there was no need to hide anything anymore, so she explained it all to Liv. "Your father's death, as well as other people's, is actually not that simple. There is some conspiracy behind it. Mr. Ray has promised us that he and Miss Steele will come with us together to Cloud Pagoda Bay, and help us to find the one who knows about this, and uncover the truth."

Liv was totally stunned while watching her mother, who was wearing leather armour, a longbow, a bag full of arrows, and a longsword. Her sister Nice was also wearing a small leather armour and holding a toy-like small shield in her hand, and ran happily around. She couldn't believe her eyes. What on earth was going on? She never knew her mother was an adventurer! And the armour her sister was wearing: her mother must had prepared in a long time ago!

"…You said that our father was sneak attacked by the 'Dark Tide' Thom Sal, hadn't you?" Liv asked.

"Things are a bit strange, and there is conspiracy behind it," Madame Teague said. "Since there is conspiracy behind it, I shall find the truth!"

Liv frowned and nodded, "Fine. We shall make our departures immediately!"

Sui Xiong was very impressed by this girl, and said to Ray secretly, "This girl is also very vigorous and resolute; she has received very good family education!"

"Yes; still, I am a bit worried." Ray forced out a smile. "I don't know why, I just have a really strange feeling."

"My god! You are a knight; when did you become a seer? 'strange feeling'…even I do have this sort of strange feeling, just be sensible!"

Ray was speechless and felt self-mockery; then he stopped being worried.

His Majesty is right. We will be safe with His Majesty around us. If there is still danger when we are accompanied by a God, then there will never be a safe place in this world.

"Maybe I am thinking too much…"

"Of course!" Sui Xiong sneered, and then practiced a divination spell.

Unfortunately, because of the conspiracy behind this business, the divination spell failed to show the good or ill luck of their journey.

"The spell does not work. How inconvenient!" Sui Xiong murmured. "Alas! In the past, I was just muddling along without aim. I couldn't do the divination spell either, but I never felt like this. Now I can do the divination spell, and whenever I can't predict the future while facing a big thing, I feel very unsettled…"

He then thought of the spell he did before. At that time, he wanted to know whether his journey would be smooth or not. The result was that the journey would be smooth, and have some good surprises.

Judging from now, Ray and Steele were the 'good surprises.' But if the original purpose of his journey was never realized… then what did this 'smooth journey' really mean?

Alas! Being a seer was a difficult job both for the immortal and the God!

Report chapter

The experienced adventurers were always very rigorous and resolute.

In less than half an hour, three horses came out from the east gate of Golden Pagoda City. Behind them were two horses pulling a carriage, and running toward the southeast along the road.

Ray, Steele, and Liv were riding the horse, and Madame Teague and young Nice were in the carriage. There was a boy, Ranke, who was controlling the carriage; he was one of the young people who had paid off his debt.

Among those young people, few were good at the martial arts, and among them, Zesheng was the strongest. But if he came with Ray, it would mean that these youngsters would lose their leader and could be cruelly killed by the people from the church of the God of Aristocracy. So Zesheng had to stay behind, as well as the few who were good at martial arts.

Ranke was the younger son of that businessman. When he was young, the education he received was very different from that of his brother, who was taught to be a businessman. So he always admired the knight and learned horsemanship, swordsmanship, spear-play, and fast-shoot from Knight Parne from a very young age. However, he was not that talented, and after five or six years of studying, he was still a green hand who didn't excel in swordsmanship, spear-play, or fast-shoot at all. There was one thing he was capable of: horsemanship.

Compared with the weak knight, Ranke had the talent to be a businessman. He was good at managing accounts, negotiating with others, and authentication. Moreover, he was good at riding the carriage. Even Liv, who was known for her horse riding skills, was not as good as him.

His brother managed to pay off all the debt, but he still chose to go and take adventures with his peers, trying to do more for them. That day when he went to pay off the debt, he actively decided to be the one to negotiate with the people of the church of the God of Aristocracy. After the negotiation, he successfully decreased the interest he would have to pay, and saved his peers a lot of money.

Since the group of young people had gone through hard times recently, they were very happy to see that Ranke had helped them save a lot of money. To celebrate this, they bought some dishes and alcohol and meant to hold a party at Liv's home. When they heard that Liv would have to leave, they began to discuss—or quarrel—about her leaving. It was Ranke that managed to calm them down, and then decided to come with Liv.

He was indeed good at horsemanship; the two horses he was controlling were proceeding steadily side by side and at the same speed, and Madame Teague and young Nice just felt a mild tremble or shake in the carriage from time to time.

This also had something to do with the wizards there in the Mifata Federation. Since there were many wizards, and most of the roads that connected all the towns were built by magic spells, the roads were very smooth. This was how the roads were built: first and foremost, the soil was tamped, and then covered with a layer of a combination of gravel and clay; then this layer was tamped, thus the roadbed was created. Then the wizard made some hard rocks with a spell, and created an arc-shaped gravel road on the surface of the roadbed, which was very similar to the stone roads in some ancient cities on Earth. However, this was not the road inside the city; rather, it was the main road that connected all the towns in this country!

In the Main Plate, only the Kingdom of Wizards could establish such a magnificent project, since this country had enough wizards of the intermediate level. They could turn all the huge rocks into certain shapes that fit best with magic spells. And this way, they didn't need much labor.

In fact, according to the rule of the Mifata Federation, if a wizard wanted to make a magic pagoda of his own, he would have to make sure that there was a standard road that connected the pagoda with the whole road system of this country, and he would also need to maintain all the roads around his pagoda.

With so much effort, the transportation system in this country was very smooth. There was no country in the world that could compete with it in this regard.

Things could be much better, though, if there weren't so many monsters there.

It was getting dark, so they found an open space and rested there. Ray said, "I am going to check if the vicinity is safe or not." Then he took a sword and a spear with him and went into the wood nearby.

Eventually, the tent was set up, the campfire was lit, the flour and wheat were made into porridge, and the meat soup's flavor permeated the air. Ray came back at last with blood all over him, and a specially-made thick rope on his hand. There was a beast wrapped in the rope following behind him.

This beast was a bit similar to an ape, but it looked far more ferocious, since its face was more hideous. It also had sharp teeth and claws, which clearly showed that it was never a kind creature. Its strong body, which could even dwarf a wild bear, showed that it had great strength. Moreover, when it breathed, sparks came out of its mouth and one could smell sulfur.

Since Ranke and Liv were still not that experienced, they had no idea what it was. Madame Teague, however, immediately knew as soon as she smelled the sulfur.

"Purgatorized and ferocious ape? No, a huge purgatorized and ferocious ape! They are really difficult to defeat; I am very surprised to see that you managed to catch it alive," she smiled. "Mr. Ray, you are really a powerful knight!"

Ray laughed and put down the rope, and the ape sat down on its own. Then Ray said, "Thank you for your compliment; actually, this beast is not that powerful, but it is a bit difficult to catch without severely injuring it."

Seeing this ape, Liv and Ranke were completely stunned. Their own group, which consisted of some green hand adventurers, had only come across a purgatorized and ferocious wolf. Apart from that, there were four other common wolves at that time. They had a big fight with them, and if it were not for the help of some experienced adventurers who happened to come by, at least one person would had been killed.

It was known that among all the animals, the ape was the strongest, and a purgatorized and ferocious ape was so powerful that it would take a group of experienced adventurers to defeat. A group of green hand adventurers were bound to be killed when facing one.

As far as they were concerned, the ape, like the wolf, also liked to travel in herds. Ray must had killed the whole group of apes, which could be seen from the blood on him. He even managed to catch the leader of the group alive, which further proved his incredible power!

"Mr…. Mr. Ray, what is this ape for?" Ranke asked curiously. "Does it have any special value?"

"Not really. I intend to make it the night watcher," Ray said casually. "An ape monster of this kind usually has a high intelligence, which makes it easier to tame. In fact, I have already tamed it, and from now on, it will be our night watcher."

It? A night watcher?!

Hearing this, even Madame Teague was stunned.

"Are you sure this is alright? What if it attacks us when we are asleep?" Liv was very worried.

"That's impossible; it is not stupid," Ray said, and walked up to the ape. He stopped in front it and patted its head.

The huge ape became more mild and sat still on the ground, and didn't make a sound when Ray patted its head, as if it had become a tamed wolf dog.

"See? Isn't it very mild?"

Everyone was silent and had no idea how Ray managed to "tame" this ferocious beast.

"We have been taking turns to be the night watchers, haven't we?" Steele said, while coming out of the tent. When she saw the beast, she then asked curiously, "Are you still going out tonight?"

Ray nodded and said, "Yes, when we arrive at Cloud Pagoda City, we may get into a big fight. I need to hurry and tame that damn dragon."

"You are right; you have spent too much time taming that dragon," Steele said. "I think you'd better find another one to tame; this ape is fine. At least, it is very smart, and knows to be mild when it knows it cannot defeat you."

"You are joking. I have never seen a knight riding an ape!" Ray shook his head, and walked away smiling. Then he waved his hand, and freed the copper crown dragon from the space bag specially made to trap monsters.

The copper crown dragon was indeed something. Even if it had been trapped and tortured for such a long time, it was still very ferocious and powerful. As soon as it came out of the space bag, it shook its head and tail and began to roar. Then it opened its huge mouth, trying to eat Ray alive.

Ray punched it, and after it was hit, it fell over and rolled on the ground. It didn't stop until it hit on a tree.

"Haven't you learned anything?" Ray complained. Then he seized its tail, and pulled it along into the woods.

He walked a few steps, stopped, and gave another punch to the dragon which was struggling to bite him. Then it passed, and Ray warned the ape, "Be a good night watcher; don't make any trouble. If you do, I will eat your brain tomorrow!"

The huge ape was terrified when it saw the dragon; in fact, ape monster was a food favored by dragons, even if this huge ape was much stronger than a normal ape. But that copper crown dragon was also much much stronger than a common dragon, so it would definitely be eaten if the two came across each other in the wild.

However, even a powerful dragon, which could easily make it its meal, could not fight this man, who was not big at all. Seeing this, the ape recalled what had happened in this morning. It was leading its herd to attack Ray, but while all the apes were killed in the blink of an eye, it was also hit, and passed out. When it woke up, it found it had already become a prisoner.

He had already been merciful on me.

Maybe the reason why I am still alive is because he really needs a night watcher, instead of trying to tame me.

Earlier, this ape was very unhappy about this, and wanted to find a way to run away or play a trick or two. Now it sighed, and one could see its disappointment from its furry face. It finally gave in, and decided to be a good night watcher.

The glory of the leader of a herd? The nature of being a monster? Which was more important?

Neither! Survival was the most important thing!

The day was getting darker and darker.

Ray had gone far with that dragon; but one could still hear the roaring of the dragon and the cursing of Ray from time to time when they listened carefully. Judging from the sounds, they could tell that Ray was determined to tame this damn dragon.

Ranke and the others were still awake. For one thing, they believed that it was a common sense that one needed to rest for a while after dinner, and could only go to sleep when the food had almost been digested. For another, not far from the tent, there was a huge and terrifying ape. They were too afraid to sleep.

"Things can't go on like this," Steele murmured. "They are under too much pressure. I need to help them to release some pressure."

"You are right, but how?" Sui Xiong asked. "Telling a joke? Or shall we sing a song, or dance?"

Steele smiled mysteriously and said, "I have a better idea."

Sui Xiong was confused and felt something was not right. Then he instantly warned Steele, "Don't do something indecent! Like holding a naked party… I won't allow it!"

"You are underestimating me! I have more than one way to help someone release pressure!" Steele could not help but laugh. "You'll see."

Then she walked toward the huge ape, who was carefully watching the immediate surroundings, and gently touched its breast. She said to the ape in a very soothing way, "Hey, strong man; are you interested in doing something relaxing?"

The huge ape was confused, and had no idea what she meant.

An ape was a clever species among all the other beasts, although being purgatorial or ferocious didn't help increase its intelligence; rather, this process could make it dumb. But after all, this ape was the leader of a herd, so it was almost as clever as a kid and could understand some simple lingua franca. But it could never understand Steele's flirty words.

So it stared at Steele and had no idea what she was going to do.

Strangely, though Steele was much smaller than the ape and didn't look strong at all, the ape was very mild in front of her, even milder than when standing in front of Ray.

Its instinct told it that this woman was much a superior being to it, and it needed to obey her.

But when Steele began to touch its genital area, it started to react.

After all, a monster had also got its pride…

Hearing the noises outside, Madame Teague, Liv and young Nice, who were resting in the tent, and Ranke, who was resting in the carriage, all woke up and came to see what was going on.

Then they saw that Steele was covered in fire, and immediately became a small flying pink pig with a pair of wings on its back.

Ah?!

It was hard to describe how the four were feeling at this moment; well, at least young Nice's feelings could be described. She was amazed, and happily ran to the pig and gently poked it, and said, "It's real!"

The small pig made a pink bubble which hit Nice's face and burst.

Madame Teague was worried and walked forward, trying to stop her. But she was relieved when she saw the small pig happily lying in Nice's arms. It seemed that this pig neither wanted to attack Nice, nor did it intend to run away.

"Where did this pig come from?" Liv asked curiously. "I think I saw Miss Steele just now. Where is she?"

Only the huge ape knew where Steele was; but though it understood Liv's words, it could not speak.

A while later, Sui Xiong sighed and showed himself in front of them.

"The pig is Steele. She was having some dirty thoughts earlier, and became a pig."

While his explanation didn't convince everyone at present, Liv and Ranke were staring at him alertly, and had no idea where this green flying jellyfish came from.

The innocent Nice didn't think too much. She reached out her hand and caught one of Sui Xiong's tentacles, and pulled him over.

"Ah?! Hey, young lady, what are you doing?"

Before he finished his sentence, he had already been hugged by Nice. Nice was very happy, holding a pink pig in one hand and a green jellyfish on the other.

"Steele, you did this on purpose?" Sui Xiong finally knew what was going on, and shouted at her telepathically. "How dare you trick me!"

"Calm down. I just want to cheer up a young kid," Steele laughed. "You also agree that we should help them to release some pressure, right?"

"But I didn't mean we should help do so by pretending to be pets!" Sui Xiong was shouting aloud. "I am a God! I am not a kid's pet!"

"It's fine. I am a human, and I don't mind; but you are just a jellyfish! Why you are making such a fuss?"

Sui Xiong was extremely angry, but he could not find any words to argue with her. One could be invincible as long as he became shameless. Even a God could be speechless when facing a extremely shameless person like Steele.

He meant to run away, but he didn't want to do so when he saw young Nice's happy face. This poor girl. Her father died when she was so young. She used to live a rich life, but now she lives poorly. Now she has to drift from place to place and live the life of an adventurer…

At last, Sui Xiong sighed and decided to be a temporary pet.

When the sky in the east began to lighten, Ray came back riding the copper crown dragon. He finally managed to tame this dragon, and turned it into his mount. Meanwhile, Nice walked out of the tent yawning. In one hand, there was a small pink pig, and in her other was a green jellyfish.

Seeing this, Ray was stunned for a long while. Then he burst into laughter.

Later, everyone all was packed and began to proceed.

There were three horses moving in the front. behind them was a carriage pulled by two horses.

This time, only Liv was riding on the horse.

At first Liv was not used to controlling three horses all together and riding in a flurry, but soon she managed to find a way to control them. These war-horses had already received very good training and were easy to control. As long as she was riding a horse in the front, the other two would follow behind closely.

She was proceeding in a casual way and looking around from time to time. In the distance, Ray was riding the copper crown dragon and showing off. Although this dragon was also called the two-footed flying dragon, it was not good at flying at all. It could only fly for a short time when it needed to hunt, or in battle. Usually it walked. The dragon Ray was riding was no exception, and since it was much stronger than a common two-footed flying dragon, its skills in flying were even worse. Actually, it was not flying at all, but jumping and gliding.

Ray was not satisfied about this, so as he was proceeding, he was also training it to fly. He knew that he would get into a big fight when he arrived at Cloud Pagoda City, and he would also need to fight with the enemy in the air. So he believed that if his mount couldn't be as agile as an eagle in the sky, it should at least be able to fly steadily.

So Ray greatly increased the training, which made the dragon feel very miserable. But after a period of tough training, its skill in flying greatly improved, and it was able to fly in the air continually. If a flying competition were to be held among the two-foot flying dragons, it would be a very promising candidate for the gold medal.

The night watcher—the huge ape—had been behaving itself all the while. During the day, it followed closely behind the team. At night, he carefully watched the immediate surroundings, so everyone could have a sound sleep. As time went by, even Ranke began to trust it, and Madame Teague would prepare the same meal as everyone else for it during the day.

When the ape held a wooden bowl and ate, it looked very much like a man!

It took around nineteen days for them to reach to Cloud Pagoda City from Golden Pagoda City.

It was a long and dangerous journey. They met many monsters, at least ten, that were as strong as the huge ape. They had even met an especially cruel monster: a huge gray dragon. Judging from its smooth skin, it was still very young, but its imposing manner already terrified everyone. Before it even landed, both the war-horses and the two horses pulling the carriage fell to the ground due to extreme terror. Madame Teague, Liv, and Ranke were very nervous, and pulled out their swords or opened their bows.

The huge ape meant to run away, but it didn't. It broke a thick branch off a tree and held it in its hand. Its feet were shaking heavily; obviously it was not the one to count on when they really got into a fight with this gray dragon.

Ray jumped off the copper crown dragon, which had already lied down on its stomach to show its admiration to the superior species. He didn't pull out his sword; instead he stood still, with an intense gaze, and stared at the dragon.

The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and neither of them made any moves. At last, the gray huge dragon sneered, turned around, and flew away.

Even after this incident, everyone was afraid whenever they recalled it. They had a new understanding of Ray's ability. He was a strong man who didn't even need to pull out his sword, and could scare away a huge dragon simply with his imposing manner!

After the dragon left, Madame Teague asked Ray if he would be Liv's teacher. Ray accepted. Ranke also wanted to learn from him; thus, Ray gained two students.

Chapter 104: Chapter 104

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

"Is this Cloud Pagoda City?" Steele asked when she walked past the foot of a mountain, and saw a prosperous city in the distance. She had changed back to human form a few days before. "Where is the cloud pagoda then?"

Most of the names of the cities in the Mifata Federation contained the word 'pagoda;' for example, Green Tree City was famous for the green tree magic pagoda; Golden Pagoda City was famous for the golden magic pagoda; and as for the capital city, it was named the 'Highest Pagoda.' Since this city was called Cloud Pagoda City, it must have also had a pagoda, which was probably named the cloud pagoda, or had the characteristics of a cloud.

But Steele failed to see any magic pagoda after looking around.

"The pagoda in this city is not on the ground," Ray said and pointed at the sky. "It is in the air."

Steele looked at the sky. It was cloudy, and she couldn't see the sun or the magic pagoda.

Ray then realized that it was impossible for one to see the pagoda that was floating in the sky on a cloudy day like this. He then smiled and began to explain to Steele.

The so-called 'cloud pagoda' was actually a floating magic pagoda. The wizard who built it had always wanted to fly from a young age. Later, when he grew to be a wizard, he started to study flying spells, and managed to create a special and legendary magic spell. This spell could make a certain areas become anti-gravity for long periods of time. When he began to build this pagoda, he practiced this spell.

But he made some mistakes in his calculation. When he activated the spell, the foundation bed of the magic pagoda flew to the sky, and when he finally corrected his mistake, the foundation bed was already high in the sky, and anyone who had a bad vision would not be able to see it.

The wizard thought a while and then felt that this might not be that bad, and decided to build the magic pagoda high up in the sky.

It was the 'tallest' man-made structure in this world, and it was estimated that it was even higher than the few temples and pagodas in the Broken Cloud Mountains. To withstand the wild wind in the sky and the flying beasts, this magic pagoda was shrouded by a protection spell array. Looking from the ground, this magic array was just like a cloud surrounding it; that was why this pagoda was called the cloud pagoda.

Hearing this story, Steele was very surprised. Even Liv, Ranke and young Nice were shocked. Although they were the local people of the Mifata Federation, they only knew that fact that there was a magic pagoda in the cloud in Cloud Pagoda City. They never knew where this pagoda came from until then.

"Teacher Ray, you are really very knowledgeable!" Ranke exclaimed. "It is true that if a warrior wants to be a strong figure, he will also have to master a lot of knowledge!"

Ray was stunned, and realized that this was what he told his students not long ago. He coughed a bit and put on a serious expression.

"You really meant it when you told them that? One needs to learn a lot of knowledge to become an advanced warrior?" Sui Xiong asked Ray curiously, with telepathy.

Ray didn't dare to lie to Sui Xiong, and he said, "Actually, when I was studying here, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to pay a visit to the owner of this magical pagoda, Master Yibuwei. He told me, 'You said you aim to be a great knight, but one needs learn a lot of knowledge, no matter what he wants to become. So even if you are not a wizard, you still need to study hard!'"

Sui Xiong nodded, and asked him with interest, "It seems that this Master is a erudite person. Can I pay a visit to him?"

"Not now, I think. Over a hundred years ago, he had already gone to the Highest Pagoda with a few other of the strongest masters, and has been living there ever since. They are protecting the Master Imia Lampros, who is analyzing the God's power and is going to be apotheosized. If you really want to see him, you'd better go to the Highest Pagoda.

Sui Xiong nodded and decided that once he finished building his holy manor, he would pay a visit to the Master Yibuwei, as well as the Master Imia Lampros, who was going to become the God of Wizard.

They then said goodbye to the huge ape that had been freed, as they had promised they would let him go, and walked toward Cloud Pagoda City. When they were saying goodbye to the huge ape, Sui Xiong gave it a big wood stick that had been enhanced by magic as a present. During this journey, the ape always used a big branch as its weapon, and Sui Xiong felt that maybe every monkey or ape would like to use a stick, so he specially made this for it.

As for that Copper Crown Dragon, it was locked into the specially-made magic space bag again, since it was too conspicuous.

When they finally walked into the city gate and disappeared, the huge ape that had been watching them all the time exclaimed like a human, turned around, and left.

Cloud Pagoda City was very prosperous; few cities in the Mifata Federation was as prosperous as it was. The city was also a good port in the Federation, since the city was low-lying, and the concentration of the magic power was rather low. So one would rarely see a monster there. There were many civilians living there as well.

Maybe it was because this place was so low-lying that Master Yibuwei had made the decision to build the pagoda in the air.

Ray spotted a kind and young soldier and asked him where were the shop that was worth going and the restaurant that served the best dishes, and who was well-informed about this city.

Ray paid the soldier and the soldier told him where he should go. Ray didn't go to the "shop that was worth going" or the "restaurant that served the best dishes", instead he went straight to a grocery store–as that soldier had told him, the owner, Randolph, of this grocery, which was built in the port area, was seemingly managing a grocery store, in fact, his real job were the exploration and the research, he was a real adventurer. He knew quiet a lot about both the general knowledge and the secret messages.

Ray quickly found this grocery store, which was a rather ordinary one and it seemed that there were not many guests here. He asked the other to stay outside and went into the store alone–of course, Sui Xiong was still resting on his head like a hat.

Randolph looked like around forty years old, he was wearing a glass, in a word, he was just an ordinary middle-aged man. But both Sui Xiong and Ray could tell he was really powerful although he looked very ordinary. Randolph was a marvellous warrior and was able to practice the spell, and he had got more than one magic tool with himself, his glass was one, for example.

Maybe that was why he manage to stay alive after so many times of exploration.

When he knew Ray's intention, he didn't respond immediately, instead he began to contemplate.

"I have my own principles." after thinking for a while, he said in a very low voice, "the business of selling the information is in fact very dangerous, those who casually sell the information to others always ends bad. So I have to abide by principles–if the information is about some trivial things, I shall give you happily, but if the information is very important, I would sell it only to the person who has got some decent reasons or is proved to be a decent man either in a court or in front of a God."

"If you want to get the information about that ship incident, please give me your decent reasons!"

He stared at Ray and his glass began to shine in blue light.

"Be careful, his glass is a very powerful magic tool and is 'detecting if what you are going to say is a lie or not'." Sui Xiong warned.

Ray thought for a while and said: "I want to help a family, whose family member died in that ship incident, they are in a very difficult situation. I think there is a conspiracy behind this whole incident, so I come to find the truth."

Hearing this, Randolph adjusted his glass a little bit and smiled.

"You are telling the truth." he said, "I am so happy to be able to meet a warm-hearted person, I will tell you everything I know."

"Before the ship made its sail, the son of the castellan of the Garth City of the Blue Moon Kingdom, Sean Riley came to the Cloud Pagoda City, he mentioned he wanted to create a sea route and do a business of selling some monsters' body parts and spices of the middle and low class. Soon, many people came to negotiate with him, among them, there was a rich businessman whose parents were the advanced wizards."

"But Sean Riley didn't make a deal with any of them, instead he secretly kept in contact with a strange businessman who didn't have any social connections, and many people were angry about this and tried to make some trouble, but they gave up the idea when they had some talks with Sean Riley."

"Soon, Sean's commercial corp made their departure, but strangely, Sean was not in the boat. Instead, he even began to make the preparation for the next sailing, and it seemed like he thought there was a big chance that this first sailing would be a failure, while he was still confident about creating a new sea route."

"Then came the news that this boat was attacked by the 'dark tide' Thom Sal and suffered a great loss."

"While Sean Riley was not much bothered by this incident, still, he was steadily preparing for the next sailing, and it seemed that the he had a very successful sailing in the recent and he benefited a lot."

"Now, he is preparing for the next sailing, it is said that he want to take this opportunity to leave the Federation and go back to his hometown."

Hearing this, Ray nodded and asked: "then…have you found any clue that can prove that this ship incident has something to do with the church of Noble Maids?"

Randolph was stunned, he thought for a while and became a bit doubtful, then he said: "I never thought about this really, a principle of the church of Noble Maids ever paid a visit to Sean and had a conversation with him–I thought that principle just came to preach his religion, so I didn't pay much attention, besides, that principle also died in that ship incident…do you think there is anything strange about this?"

Ray didn't reply and shrugged, then he said: "you will find it out later."

Then, he turned around and left this grocery store.

Randolph indeed knew a lot about this incident, which was totally out of Ray's expectation.

This information…were already enough!

Report chapter

The information given by Randolph could be summarized with three points:

First, Sean Riley could possibly foresee the future, and knew that ship incident would happen.

Second, the ship incident was probably arranged by the officiant of the Church of the God of Aristocracy.

Third, Sean would leave here soon.

"I think Sean Riley is the most suspicious guy," Ray said when they settled down in a hostel. He told them everything he had heard, and gave his analysis as well. "I think Sean Riley and the officiant planned this ship incident together."

Everyone agreed with Ray's analysis. After having a discussion, they decided to pay a visit to the Garth Commercial Corp the next morning, the commercial corp that Sean Riley built there. If nothing unexpected happened, Sean should have still been there.

The next morning, when they arrived at the Garth Commercial Corp, the guard told them that the chairman Sean was busy in dealing with business.

Ray frowned and sent a signal to Steele by looking at her. Steele and him had already formed a tacit mutual understanding, so she immediately knew what he meant. Then she began to seduce the guard.

The effect of Steele's seduction was so powerful, which clearly showed the ability she had as a holy spirit. in fact, most of the legendary strong men could not withstand her temptation. This guard was such a strong man, and was at most a professional adventurer who was not even less powerful than Steele; so it was impossible for him to stand this temptation.

The guard looked at Steele's eyes for one or two seconds, then his eyesight became restrained.

"Is the chairman Sean here?" Steele gently asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him for a few days."

Ray frowned and asked, "Is it possible for us to pay a visit to him?"

"He said he is not feeling well these days, and doesn't want to see anyone."

"He is not feeling well? You didn't mention this earlier!"

"This is what he has asked to say. He said that if there is anyone who wants to see him, I should reply by saying 'the chairman is busy in arranging business.'"

Ray frowned again and asked, "Where does he live?"

"He lives in the room that is close to the sea on the second floor."

Ray nodded, and asked Sui Xiong, "Your Majesty, can you help me to check for that room?"

Actually, there was no need to ask Sui Xiong to do such a trivial thing, but Ray was very worried, and could not wait to find out what was inside that room.

Sui Xiong checked the room with his spiritual sensing, and found that Sean Riley was not in that room. But there was a old man, whose hair had turned white, lying on his stomach on the ground. He had died several days ago, and his body was maintained by magic so it wouldn't decay.

Sean Riley was the son of the castellan of Garth City, so he could not possibly be this old. So who was this old man? And why was he dead in Sean's room?

Sui Xiong practiced a spell and projected the old man's body in the air, so everyone could see it. Then he asked the guard who this old man was. The guard told him that he was the vice chairman of this commercial corp, who was in charge of managing the daily routine. He was also a relative of Sean's.

"Sean killed him since he believes this old man would provide some evidence that could go against him," Ray said coldly. "It seems that he has already run away!"

After a while, the whole Garth commercial corp turned into chaos. The news that the chairman was missing and the vice chairman was killed made everyone worried and frightened.

Sui Xiong got everyone together and questioned them one by one.

After a while, they finally knew where Sean was headed; a guard who was patrolling at night about eight days ago said that he saw the vice chairman, who was wearing a hat, leave hurriedly. Sui Xiong then found this guard had been captivated by a spell, and thought about the time the vice chairman was killed. Then he made the conclusion that Sean killed the vice chairman first, then changed into the vice chairman's form by practicing magic, and ran away.

But… why did Sean leave in such a hurry? Why did he choose to kill the vice chairman? Was he hiding some secret?

"I don't care what secret he is hiding. What we can do now is go after him," Ray thought for a while, and made his decision. "There is a great chance that he is aiming towards Garth City. We should go after him!"

"Are we going to fly there?" Sui Xiong asked.

"It's not a good idea for us to fly together," Ray said. "Since he left almost eight days ago, there is no need to hurry. We shall make our preparations and take the boat to Garth City!"

Everyone began to make the preparations. Big objects like the carriage, the horses and the tent were sold while they looked for a boat.

While they did not manage to find any boat, an experienced old captain suggested they take a boat to White Pagoda Bay, then the Dhaka Trade Organization, then to Blue Moon Kingdom. When they arrived at Blue Moon Kingdom, they would find a boat to the Garth City.

"It doesn't take too much time," the captain said. "If you take the boat, it will only take seven or eight days more at most to arrive, and compared with a long distance journey, this delay is basically nothing."

The captain was very right, and things were settled.

That afternoon, Ray and others took the boat and headed to the White Pagoda Bay.

Cloud Pagoda Bay was not that far away from White Pagoda Bay. This boat was sailing smoothly in the tranquil sea during the whole journey. Both the captain and the sailors had accumulated lots of experience, since they sailed between the two bays many times each year. They were familiar with the surrounding water areas, as if the region was the garden in the back of their house; they knew every rock and every undercurrent. For Ray and his team members, this journey was very easy and happy. It seemed like they were on vacation.

After they transferred to another boat at the White Pagoda Bay, their journey continued smoothly. In the east of the Mifata Federation, there was a small country called Dhaka Trade Organization. The sea transportation in this region had began to develop, and got better and better; then this country formed, and seafaring people of this country had been developing very well since then. All this time, only the boats from the Dhaka Trade Organization could manage to cross the dangerous Iron Cliff Mountains and safely arrive at Blue Moon Kingdom. In this way, they monopolized the trade in this region.

They had been sailing in the sea for almost twenty days and were in the tiny sailboat the whole time, so it was only natural for them to get tired. To kill time, Steele would shamelessly become a pig to happily play with young Nice.

Ray was rather different from them. He was learning seamanship from the sailors with great curiosity, as well as teaching Liv and Ranke to practice the martial arts. When he was free, he would sit on the ship board and fish. In a word, he never feel bored.

Liv was a bit lazy. Compared with her, Ranke was very diligent. Every day, he would practice very hard for about ten hours, and did not stop until he was feeling exhausted. Once he had a rest, he would start to practice again.

As the saying goes, 'everything comes to him who waits.' After the twenty days, Ranke's swordsmanship had improved quite a lot. Ray said he finally looked like a man who knew how to use a sword. When he was practicing with Liv, he was able to make his attack or defend himself. Even if he was in a difficult situation, he would not get flustered. Now he finally looked like a real swordsman.

But after they transferred to the boat that sailed to the Blue Moon Kingdom at the Dhaka Trade Organization, things were not as sunny as before.

This boat was a standard passenger boat. Although the boat ticket was very expensive, the accommodation was top class. Apart from the small space, both the inner decoration and the utensils were as good as those in a ordinary hostel. While the captain was a very strict old man, he was very stubborn and always saying things like "The sea is very dangerous, no passenger is allowed to loiter on the deck."

Even Ray could not stand being trapped in inertia for this long. As for Sui Xiong, he went into the sea and changed back to his original form, and happily swam in the sea.

Under Sui Xiong's watchful eye, everything would be fine.

But Ray was being too optimistic.

When the boat was crossing the most notorious submerged reef, the "Hell Bay" around the Iron Cliff Mountain, the clear sky suddenly changed. Black clouds were gathering overhead, and the tranquil sea began to tumble. One wave came after another. Almost in the blink of an eye, they were sailing in a storm.

The captain was very surprised, and immediately ordered all the sailors to act while loosening the sails and carefully watching the situation on the sea. He managed to slow down their speed and was trying to dodge the submerged reef, or something more dangerous.

Since Ray and Madame Teague were very strong, they were asked to help the captain.

"Are we coming across a sea monster?" Ray was very excited and curious.

He had been a adventurer for so many years. He had killed a mountain spirit, fought with a huge dragon, and met a God, but he had never met a sea monster!

The captain wore a very serious face and was extremely worried. He said, "Yes; we have come across a sea monster, and it is not an ordinary sea monster. It may be the 'Furious Tide,' Heimsarah."

'Heimsarah?' The creature as strong as the 'Dark Tide' Timsar?" Ray was stunned became more curious.

The Furious Tide and the Dark Tide were the most notorious monsters in the Main Plate. Not only were they very powerful, but there were also many legendary stories concerning them. Until now, no one really knew what they looked like.

Ray knew that he was not that strong enough to be able to see what it really looked like. But I have Sui Xiong! His Majesty would definitely have a closer look at it, and is sure to tell me later.

"I never thought I would have an encounter with a legendary sea monster during this journey!" He could not help but laugh. "Maybe I will become the first human who knows what the 'Furious Tide' really looks like!"

He told Sui Xiong what the captain had told him via telepathy. Sui Xiong was very curious about this, and went straight to the center of the storm to find out what was really going on there.

In the center of the storm, he saw a tumbling magic power, and the water around it was tumbling as well. Beside it, there was a small tornado encircling this tumbling water.

Looking carefully, Sui Xiong found that there was a God's force in the core of the magic power. This force was steady and tranquil, which was totally different from the tumbling water and the tornado. It was still, as if it was sleeping.

"Hello; are you Heimsarah?" Sui Xiong tried to send a signal via telepathy.

When this signal touched that magic power, the God's force shook a bit, as if it had woken up. Then Sui Xiong received the reply.

It was very ambiguous telepathic message, which probably meant Hello.

Chapter 106: Chapter 106

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

Heimsarah's thoughts were very vague and ambiguous, not clear at all; it could not form a complete discourse. It spoke like a person with expression disorder: in a confusing way and stumbling. Sui Xiong had to expend some effort to understand every sentence to get what it meant.

This legendary sea monster seemed to not have encountered a strong existence that could understand it for a long time, so it said a lot of things without a break. He spoke just like an elderly person with Alzheimer's that prattled along in a disorderly, long-winded way.

Communicating with it was definitely not a pleasant thing, but Sui Xiong was still patient, and chatted slowly with it. At his suggestion, Heimsarah pulled back his own strength, so the sea surface that originally had violent storms and dark clouds suddenly turned calm, as if the storm had been an illusion.

The captain was overjoyed, hurriedly directed the sailors to hoist the sail, and also used a scroll for wind-making to create a strong gust of sea wind that pushed the sailboat to travel fast, and leave the Hell Bay as if it were running for its life.

Oh, not "as if;" it was running for its life.

Below the calm sea, Sui Xiong and Heimsarah were chatting. Mostly, Heimsarah was speaking while Sui Xiong was only responsible for listening and asking.

Heimsarah was in a good mood to talk in an almost endless way because it hardly ever encountered an existence that it could communicate with in an equal way. As it did not have any secret consciousness, it answered all that Sui Xiong asked. It was like he talked about all that he knew.

When Sui Xiong asked why it appeared here, it suddenly became agitated, shouted for a long time before it finally stabilized its emotions, and told Sui Xiong the reasons.

Not long ago, Heimsarah felt the breath of Timsar, its long-time enemy, followed ir slowly through the breath, and passed by this place. According to its senses, Timsar was still in front.

Sui Xiong immediately thought of the shipwreck that had taken place in the Great Wild Horn, and could not help but secretly guess: Is Timsar still at the Great Wild Horn? Or even if it has left, has it gone far?

However, he was very curious about an incident. Both Heimsarah and Timsar were split from the wreckage of the 'The Living Tsunami,' Sarament, so they should be considered siblings. So why did Heimsarah call Timsar a "long-time enemy?"

He asked the question. Heimsarah replied that when they were split from the wreckage of Sarament, they evenly divided the remaining divinity and supernatural power of Sarament, who failed to be apotheosized. Nature told them that as long as they could kill each other and devour each other's divinity and supernatural power, they could fundamentally enhance their lives. Even if that was not enough to make them try again to be apotheosized, at least they would be able to become leaders among the demigods.

More importantly, their strength was incomplete because the two sides split the forces of storm, tsunami, and so on. It was precisely for this reason that Heimsarah had a bit of dementia. If it wanted to heal itself and get a full sense of reasoning and clear thinking, it needed to kill Timsar and restore all its power.

Of course, the most important reason was simple; it hated Timsar, and presumably, this also applied to Timsar.

"I feel that the most important thing is completely reversed," Sui Xiong quietly complained. He accompanied his new friend to gallop in the sea, and rushed to follow its senses.

Of course, he did not forget to send a message to Ray, so that his loyal knight didn't worry.

Heimsarah's strength was stronger than Timsar's, but its movement was relatively slow. So even if it sensed the breath of Timsar, there was no way for it to catch up. It could only follow it behind it in vain. But with the help of Sui Xiong, the situation was completely different. It was just an avatar of Sui Xiong that was there, whose fighting power was far weaker than Sui Xiong himself, who was accumulating strength up in the sky above the northwestern part of this continent. But the avatar's strength was sufficient to help Heimsarah.

With the help of Sui Xiong, Heimsarah pulled back his enormous strength and turned its whole body into a mass of whistling tornado on the sea. It swam towards the Great Wild Horn without haste.

Its speed was still not fast—it seemed to Sui Xiong not too different from the speed of a turtle crawling— but Heimsarah was very satisfied with this speed. It was a high speed that he never had in his life, and it would make sure that Timsar was unlikely to be so fast!

As long as he could keep the current pace and follow the natural sense of the other, it would not take long for Heimsarah to catch up with Timsar and completely eliminate the one he had battled with for countless years.

The days of maritime navigation always went by quickly, and a blink of an eye more than a month had passed. They smoothly arrived in Kingdom of the Blue Moon by vessel, and they also found the ship to Gars City after taking a short rest. Although it was a cargo ship with bad accommodations, for those busy searching for clues it was not a big deal that the living conditions were a bit tough.

After a period of travel that was absolutely not pleasing, they finally reached their destination and disembarked at Gars.

The name of Gars City was from the local specialty, 'fragrant leaf.' It was an important food spice and was only extensively grown around Gars City. It was an excellent condiment. Although some of its variants were not suitable for being served as foods, they could be cosmetics. Geranium (the fragrant leaf) was the city's most important source of income, and also the origin of the name of the city; 'Gars' was the pronunciation of 'fragrant leaf' in the local dialect.

It was said that local specialty, geranium, was grown out of the fallen leaves of the holy trees of the Goddess of Forest/Goddess of Harvest/Goddess of Sea/Goddess of Moon/Goddess of Marsh (many denominations claimed that the geranium was the masterpiece of their Goddess, and the holy classics of many denominations had similar contents). Although it was unknown why leaves fallen to the ground would turn into white lovely flowers and grasses, the wonderful thing was that geranium as a spice could indeed only flourish in Gars City and its surrounding areas. Even if you made do and planted it elsewhere, its output and quality would be greatly reduced.

The earliest one here to do business with geranium was a viscount with the surname of Wright; later the family declined for unknown reasons, and its business was captured by the Riley family that rose after Viscount Wright's family. After seizing the major share of the geranium business, the Riley family placed their trade focus on sea transportation. They gradually built and expanded its originally shallow water port. With the efforts of almost ten generations, they finally built an important port city on the east coast of the continent.

At the beginning of each spring, when the best edible geraniums that had been growing throughout the winter were about to be harvested, every denomination would jointly hold a grand ceremony for the commencement of geranium picking. Not only would there be wonderful performances at this ceremony, but clergymen would also pray for holy graces to descend a rain of grace that could cure all pain. So at the end of every winter, there would be many people coming to Gars from everywhere, some of whom came to enjoy the excitement, but mostly to share the benefits.

Vanilla, shipbuilding, shipping, business, and tourism were components of the complex economy mix of this city, and every one of them was very lucrative. At least 30% of all the profit fell into the hands of the Riley family, so they became the real controllers of the city.

Each generation of the Riley family believed in the Goddess of Harvest and was the city's greatest force. They not only had secular power, but also had a huge influence in the sacred realm. The position of chief priest of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest was historically taken by family members of the Riley family, so the Goddess's grace to them was very obvious.

There were a total of three ports in Gars City. The Riley Port was of course owned by the Riley family. The other two were Vanilla Port and Richness Port, which were jointly controlled by various organizations. When Ray and others disembarked, they went onto the shores of the Richness Port.

Although they hurried to find clues of the shipwreck, of course, they would not stupidly go straight to the city owner's mansion. Instead, they first found a hotel to settle down in and then separately asked for information.

Ray habitually found a well-informed person, and this time he said he wanted to inquire about the situation of the major forces in the city, as well as those powerful figures that were worth noting and shouldn't be provoked.

This kind of thing was very common. If an experienced adventurer intended to have a long-term development in one place, he would certainly check these situations out clearly. So people who sold the information did not care, asked a bit, and gave him a good piece of information. Of course, they also received a considerable amount of intelligence fees.

Thunder spent some time carefully reading the information, and could not help but have a bad impression of the city. The city had a magnificent appearance, but also a variety of endless wickedness and conspiracies, which corresponded to the description "shining on the outside but rotten on the inside.".There were more than ten churches of an evil God that had relatively concrete evidence of activities. There were even plenty of crazy people who worshipped the demon Gods, were keen on making disaster and horror, and had the ultimate goal of destroying the world.

Of course, his greatest concern was for the case of the city owner, the Riley family. According to the information, the contemporary city owner, Joseph Riley, a super-strong man who had entered the legendary realm, was nearly 60 years old and was in his prime both physically and mentally. He controlled the most amount of wealth of this city and the most powerful organizations. He was also undoubtedly the strongest person in the city with his status being solid as a rock. All the trivial people were afraid of doing anything against him.

He had three children. The eldest daughter He Li was 32 years old. She was in her prime and was powerful, and had become the chief priest of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and had not gotten married. She was clever and conceited, with tough tactics, and she sought revenge for almost every petty grievance.

The second son, Sean, was 26 years old, married and had two children. This Sean was a humble easy-going gentleman with good strength. He was a good swordsman. However, the information stressed that Mr. Sean was definitely not as simple as his appearance seemed. Anyone who wanted to provoke him must first prepare their own funeral.

Joseph's youngest child was called Casari, who was only 14 years old that year, and born from his second wife after his first wife's death. The girl was beautiful, and she was good at singing and dancing. She was quite innocent in character. Perhaps because people loved the youngest child, the city owner sent a whole guard to protect her from any possible danger.

Joseph had been married twice. His first wife was a powerful adventurer, who took adventures with him, did not want to retire after getting married, and finally died in an adventure. Later he married the daughter of the city-owner of another commercial city, who was an ordinary 33 year old lady. She pampered her daughter, loved drama and poetry, and was also a lesser-known dramatist. She was once the editor-in-chief of an opera.

In addition, after many years of operation and development of so many generations of the Riley family, there had been many branches and outstanding figures were constantly emerging. At least a third of that information was occupied by the various branches and organizations of the Riley family, which frightened Ray.

It seemed that in this city which belonged to the Riley family, it was really not easy to press for clues about the shipwreck by asking Sean Riley, who was likely to succeed as the city owner in the future!

In terms of prosperity, Gars City was ranked high in the entire Kingdom of the Blue Moon. The tremendous power of the various organizations under the Riley family was frightening. Ray, even with his previous status, couldn't suppress this local bully! And moreover, he was now alone!

Unless… He could change his position now, for example, to the position where he became hopeless in a muddle-headed way, and narrowly escaped being killed before he came to himself.

No; even if he was in that position, it was useless, because Gars City was on the east coast and was not bordered by that place.

Ray secretly sighed and returned to the hotel.

Soon afterward Mrs. Teague, who had gone out to acquire the information, returned. She had been to the pub, but there was no difference between the information she and Ray acquired. At the most, she had one more thing. "The young master Sean had been out to expand the commerce route for two years, and returned shortly after. It was said that the work was done well and the city owner is very satisfied."

"It seems that… it's very difficult!" said Ray, while the crowd looked at each other hopelessly. "This place is almost his home base. To forcibly ask him for some things here is difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

He used several "difficult's" in succession, which showed that he was extremely pessimistic about this matter.

"What if I try to negotiate with him?" Steele said. "Strictly speaking, the key reason for the death of Knight Parne and others is in the Church of Noble Maids and the "Undercurrent" Timsar. His Majesty has accompanied "Angry Tide" Heimsarah to chase it, and I believe that sooner or later he will give it proper punishment, and we will have to deal with only the former. Sean may have reached certain agreements with the Church of Noble Maids, but for these agreements, is it worth fighting against a God who walks on earth?"

Her words caused everyone to ponder. As she said, perhaps negotiation was also a good choice?

In the end, after discussion, everyone decided to negotiate with Sean, hoping that Steele's estimation was correct.

Sean Riley did not live in the mansion of the city owner. He had his own house. When everyone visited his house, they were not blocked and they successfully saw him.

As was said in the rumors, Sean was a handsome and very elegant young man. He seemed very humble and polite, making it easy for people to feel good about him.

"Are you the families of those who died in the shipwreck?" When they explained their intentions, he smiled gloomily. "I knew that you would come here sooner or later."

"Is it really related to you?" Ray frowned and asked.

"I'm sorry; no comment for the time being," Sean smiled slightly and replied. "I don't doubt your identity, but I'm very skeptical of your intentions and abilities. You must have heard the phrase, 'Confidentiality is the power of the strong.' So if you want me to reveal my secret, please prove your ability first."

Ray's lips trembled, then he smiled ruefully and asked, "What you mean is, we should show a bit of our strength?"

Sean smiled again. As if he had not felt the momentum from Ray, he said calmly, "A bit of our strength is like a clown juggling. There is a swamp about 50 miles west of Gars City, where some three-headed legless lizards with good strength live. If you want to prove your strength, please catch one of them and come back."

"You're asking us to catch a three-headed legless lizard by traveling that far?" Ray was agitated so that he almost laughed. "Why don't we just grab you?"

Sean looked at him indifferently, without showing weakness. "Don't say something that makes me doubt your intelligence. You're just a warrior who hasn't even reached the legendary level, and even if you have stepped into the legendary field, you aren't qualified to make trouble in Gars City. Get me? You can try it, anyway. It would not be me that would regret it."

Ray frowned and felt something was wrong.

This guy is… too calm!

Power and status could indeed make people full of confidence. One had their limits in their powers or position. When the other person was easily accessible, even a great king did not dare to put on airs with a senior soldier. There had been more than one king in history who was killed by assassins that launched a revolt in a close distance. And those assassins were often at an intermediate level.

As His Majesty Void Mask, once said, "For a king, a warrior who is within his reach is more powerful than the entire country." At this moment, the distance between Sean and him could already be regarded as "within reach" for a senior soldier. So where did the confidence of this guy come from that he could escape his assault?

He frowned and felt he was in a dilemma.

To be fair, the best choice for him at the moment was to rise and assault Sean, to directly subdue him, and forcibly get the secrets from him. Then he should take Sean as a hostage, rush out of Gars City and escape. In a long-distance pursuit, even if Gars City had a strong military force, it would not be able to make full use of it. Eventually, it would become a battle between Ray himself and the city owner, Joseph.

As he had his equipment and some last resorts, he wouldn't feel frightened even in face of Joseph, who was in the legendary realm.

After all, the city owner could not risk dying with him by desperately fighting against him.

But on the other hand, intuition also told him that assault was definitely not a good choice. Although the reasons were not clear, as long as they really fought, mostly it would be him that would suffer losses, and there would be great dangers.

Moreover, he was no longer a solitary thief. There was a group of companions who needed his care. If they really had a fight, even if he could break through and escape, what would his companions do?

Steele would most likely be able to escape, but what could others do: Mrs. Teague, Liv, Ranke, and little Nice?

He hesitated again and again and eventually decided not to launch an assault. He sighed and said, "Well, I'm going to catch the three-headed legless lizard then. I hope you're not stupid enough to force me to turn against you!"

After that, he left with all the grievant companions.

Sean smiled, saw them off, and shook his head contemptuously.

"His intuition is good, but his vision is not. The horizons of all adventurers will eventually be the same!"

He sat down again, took out a document to scan it, and quickly forgot the people who had come from far away.

A few days later, Ray returned to Gars City with some embarrassment, bringing a three-headed legless lizard that was tightly tied up.

When he took the giant beast that seemed to weigh a ton and stepped into Gars City it even felt as if the earth shook and mountains moved. The onlookers almost blocked the gate.

The three-headed legless lizard was not very powerful, but it was definitely not weak. It was about four to eight meters long, and three to five meters tall. Some small ones weighed seven or eight hundred kilograms, and some bulky ones could weigh even over two tons. The huge body gave it amazing power, and its massive scales could provide a defensive force comparable to that of a man of unusual strength with a full set of steel armor, and a heavy shield held in his hand. Not only that, but these monsters still had terrifying vitality. Unless special weapons were used, ordinary weapons needed to cut off all three of their heads in a short time and burn them with flames before they would be able to truly kill these monsters.

Some of the three-headed legless lizards could even use magical powers, such as Flames, Cold Ice, Lightning, and Toxins. It was said that someone had seen a long-lived and ridiculously strong three-headed legless lizard that not only had a great size, but also three heads that were able to spit flames, cold ice, and lightning, respectively!

This legless lizard that Ray caught alive was certainly not a particularly powerful individual. It was just a monster that had become an adult. It was not very good in terms of combat effectiveness. A team of skilled adventurers could successfully kill it. However, hunting and catching one was completely different; the teamwork and fighting involved were even more different. This warrior who had not appeared here must have had an awesome strength, because he could single-handedly get this guy from the marsh and carry it all the way into the city!

"Only those legendary strongmen could do this kind of thing!" Inside the crowd, some people commented on him this way.

This news quickly spread to the leaders of all the forces in Gars City, including the city owner Joseph.

More than one person began to investigate Ray. Because there was no special meaning of confidentiality, they quickly investigated it clearly, and then the strong leaders received a second report.

"What did Sean want to do?" the chief priest Heli Riley said to herself. In the magnificent temple of the Goddess of Harvest, she took two pieces of information and was lost in thought.

Unlike ordinary intelligence merchants, she had more powerful intelligence channels. She had always been wary of her brother who seemed to be easy-going and had nothing special, because she had a lot of information that was not known to ordinary people.

At this moment, the time of the mining ceremony was coming. But Sean made a big move. What was the intention?

At this time, Ray once again visited Sean's residence.

"I've brought you what you wanted, and it's just outside your gate," he said to Sean gruffly. "So you should give me what I want. The information!"

Sean put down his documents, smiled, and gently said, "I think you may remember something wrong. What I said before was that if you could catch a three-headed legless lizard, you could prove your ability and that you would be qualified to get the secrets. But when did I say that a foolish beast could be traded for such secret intelligence?"

Ray was grim, clenched his teeth and looked at him angrily.

He had already reached the edge of his temper: these days he was fighting all sorts of messy vipers and beasts in the damn marsh to find a three-headed legless lizard, catch it alive, and drag it all the way back to town. At the moment, he was not only physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme; his mood couldn't be worse.

If Sean dared play tricks, then he would just go, get a good rest, and send his companions away. Then he would come in here alone, grab the bastard, cut his ear off first, then torture him slowly!

Sean seemed not to have seen his almost flame-lit eyes, and slowly said, "I have always kept my word. It would be very costly for me to destroy my credit."

"What do you want?" Ray interrupted his nonsense and asked coldly.

"At the mining ceremony, I'll need your strength," said Sean lightly. "Before that, you should have a good rest until all things are determined. If I haven't died yet, I'll not only tell you everything, but also will help you without sparing any effort."

"What?!" Ray was dumbfounded, and didn't understand what he meant.

"Anyway, you will understand then." Sean smiled and looked on, mysterious.

The negotiation with Sean ended in a stalemate. They had no solution and could only wait patiently.

Of course, this was mainly because the mining ceremony was not far away. They would only need to wait for half a month or so. They had spent nearly three months on the road, and did not care about waiting for more than two weeks.

And there was nothing bad about this. His Majesty Void Mask was helping Heimsarah to chase Timsar. Perhaps half a month later, he would come to Gars City after having already killed the demon that had done so much evil.

As long as he was there, even if they really wanted to turn against the Riley family, everyone was fully confident in themselves. Gars City might be able to deal with the legendary strongmen and even fight with demigods, but in the face of a true God, it only could bow its head.

How could the mortals overcome God? It was, of course, useful for people to fight in a group, but there were limits to it after all.

So they settled in comfortably, and in order to disgust Sean, also moved to the most exclusive hotel in Gars City, so that the most upscale restaurants would deliver three meals a day to their rooms. Ray told them to send the bill directly to Sean's mansion, which really did pay their expenses.

It was undeniable that as a bustling city, Gars City indeed had a level of luxury that the Golden Tower City couldn't be compared with. At least in terms of living conditions, everyone was very satisfied.

Liv took the pocket money that her teacher gave her and wandered on the street every day. Although she didn't spend money at will, she still had some unexpected gains from time to time and often brought surprises to others.

This girl was an ingenious expert, and had an especially inspiring intuition. She had more than once bought something that she felt would be very useful, although she was unclear about the reason, and came back. Their values usually exceeded their prices after she inspected them.

Mrs. Teague lived plainly with little Nice. In addition to recovering from her past condition when she took adventures through training, she took care of her youngest daughter.

She knew very well that there would be a war when the mining ceremony began. It would be no surprise if corpses covered the wild and blood flowed like a river, unless His Majesty Void Mask came be back in time. Otherwise, their lives would be decided by their luck because of the strength of the three of them. So she seized these last leisurely moments and hoped she could spend more time with her little daughter. After all, if something bad really happened, little Nice was the most likely to be in danger.

Whenever she thought of this, she felt such pain in her heart that she almost wanted to withdraw, but she didn't.

'Grace and revenge must be paid back' was the motto of her life. Even if it cost a great deal, she would never give up her revenge, even if it meant she would be filled with blood and tears.

Ray took another student, Ranke, to work as an adventurer. He made good use of time and taught him as much as he knew: How to observe the situation, how to judge the war situation, how to get in a good lick and avoid evil, how to contact adventurers, how to scrutinize the details of the task, how to save yourself in battle, etc…

In the words of Steele, he simply wished he could open Ranke's head and pour all his knowledge into it, so that this boy could be reborn into an outstanding knight overnight.

"Why are you so considerate of Ranke?" she once asked privately. "That kid has limited talent and can't learn so much."

"He works very hard," Ray said with a smile, showing remembrance for his past in his eyes. "Every time I see him exhausted after training, but showing no intention of withdrawal or laziness, I remember myself."

"Oh? Was your talent this bad then?"

"…No, I was called a genius."

Steele couldn't help but smile. She put together Ray's age, the scene she had seen in his dream, and compared the information she had deliberately collected during this time. She had found Ray's true identity.

However, she did not point that out. Since Ray didn't want to say it, she wouldn't need to. This was a tacit understanding between peers.

As for herself, she came and went like a ghost. Others didn't know where she had been. It was strange that she had always amazingly maintained her human form, considering that she should have begun eating a like a mouse who fell into a rice vat after she arrived at this place full of all kinds of resources. It would not have been strange if she had become a pig at night.

In order to cover up the strange flames on the back of her hands, she put on a pair of thin black gloves. The texture was similar to silk, but they were actually a product of devil monster leather that had undergone special alchemy. They were not only very tough, but also covered the back of the hands to avoid attracting attention.

However, it was unlikely for a beautiful woman wearing black silk gloves and long black stockings to look unattractive!

As time went by, the time of the most important celebration of Gars City, the mining ceremony, was getting closer and closer.

At this time on the vast sea, Sui Xiong and Heimsarah had also been getting closer to Timsar, and Heimsarah had been able to feel the breath of the long-time enemy. They were so close that they could sense each other.

Strangely, Timsar did not move. In usual practice, because he couldn't defeat of Heimsarah, he would actively avoid fighting and confrontation with Heimsarah. But this time he did not mean to escape. He had been quietly sitting on the bottom of the sea as if waiting for the old rival to come so that they could finally settle things.

It was coincidental that the two finally met on the day of the mining ceremony.

Timsal was lying quietly on the bottom of the sea, and looked like a huge shadow. Its large body was embossed with countless crooked faces and transparent bones that were about to come out. They were souls, craving freedom because they had been killed and devoured by it in the past years. But none of them were freed. They were, without exception, pulled back by a decaying force to Timsar's body, and would never escape.

Just glancing at it briefly, Sui Xiong judged that Timsar's strength might not be as good as that of Heimsarah. But the level of strength was actually higher than that of Heimsarah.

Heimsarah could accept prayers and gather the power of some faith, which was turned into seawater and a whirlwind of supernatural power that was at the core of its soul. As time passed, it transformed little by little, blended into its soul, and allowed it to slowly advance. This approach was inefficient, because it did not really understand and use the power of faith.

But Timsar was different in that he bound the souls of fear and resentment in his body, constantly absorbed the strong emotions that they emitted, and slowly devoured and absorbed the power of beliefs contained in this feeling. This meant that he had been able to initially understand the nature of the power of faith, and found a way to take the most crucial step toward divinity.

Sui Xiong also noticed that there were many souls bound in Timsar's body, many of which issued violent resentment. This meant that they had been tied up for a long time, but had not been absorbed. This was somewhat unreasonable; according to Timshar's approach, those souls should have been absorbed by it in a short time.

Maybe absorbing the feeling of resentment and fear and turning it into faith was a skill just recently acquired by it?

The giant jellyfish narrowed his eyes, and a guess began to emerge.

Between Heimsarah and Timsar, there was no need for greetings and talks. Their only method of communication was fighting.

When the distance between the two sides was so short that they could attack each other, Heimsarah did not hesitate to mobilize his power. A golden torrent that resembled lightning cut through the darkness of the sea and directly struck the center of Timsar's shadow-like body.

His instinct told him that he hit the vital organ on his old opponent's body!

Timsar's body shuddered, and a thick ink-like smoke rose from it, and blocked the torrent. The colors of gold and black collided with each other, constantly canceled each other out, and eventually, they both disappeared together.

At this time, Heimsarah had already approached and spurred his power to send out golden flows.

For those whose strength had reached this level, all kinds of auxiliary means lost much significance. The confrontation between the two sides had been reduced to a mere elimination of power, and a fight for consumption that couldn't be any more monotonous.

This was the most common way of fighting for strongmen with some of the characteristics of a God. For them, unless they were directly hit in their center of power, even being beheaded or having one's tail cut was nothing. It didn't even need treatment.

There were only two ways of fighting at this level. Either they could dawdle slowly until the other side exhausted its energy, or they could take advantage of the opportunity to launch a blitz strike, and destroy the enemy's core with just one hit.

Heimsarah had an advantage in power and as well as a reliable helper in Sui Xiong. Therefore, he chose the most reliable and secure means to have a fight of consumption with Timsar.

Strangely enough, Timsar clearly did not have an advantage, but did not mean to flee at all. He was still quietly lying on the bottom of the sea, and continued to send out masses of black smoke that cancelled out the attacks of Heimsarah.

It seemed that it was very willing to have a fight for the war of consumption, and it was unknown what was in the mind of this monster that had done so much evil.

Perhaps it isn't thinking of anything? Sui Xiong secretly thought, watching the battle from the sidelines. The guys in the chaos camp are all a bit emotional, especially those who are extremely sinister and evil. They can be considered a bunch of creatures with mental disorders who are so stupid that people can't properly communicate with them. Timsar is absolutely a type of creature that is extremely sinister and evil, and it may not have a normal mind at all. Analyzing its actions with logic or wisdom is only hurting my head.

He calmed himself down and waited patiently aside for the end of the battle between the old opponents.

Or, he waited for an accident.

However, an accident did not appear here, but on the other side of the remote continent. It appeared in the Ashes Woods that were covered with ice and snow in the early spring; right beside those followers of Sui Xiong who were busy training and preparing for the summer's exploration.

One of the most famous monsters in the Ashes Woods, a horrible monster known as the Shadow Devil, suddenly attacked them!

Chapter 109: Chapter 109

The Shadow Devil was a weird and powerful monster. According to people who had encountered it, it had a human-like appearance, a black-red figure. However, its form was not fixed and could be arbitrarily changed. It liked to hide in shadows normally, but not necessarily for ambush or sneak attacks. It was purely a hobby.

It was said that it belonged to the monster of a dead ghost, so it resented living things. Although it possessed terrible power that could destroy a mountain, it was keen to kill its targets by devouring their vitality. Its most terrible ability was contaminating and binding the souls of those who had been killed by it, and turning them into shadow soldiers.

This scary monster had been living in the Ashes Woods for more than two hundred years. It had launched more than one attack on various towns and villages, and even once went through the mountain pass to sabotage the Confederation of Gold Coins. When it destroyed several cities in a row, its deeds forced the guardian God of Confederation of Gold Coins, the God of Commerce and Wealth, to descend another body, which only repelled it.

From then on, it (which was originally known as the 'black monster') had the title of Shadow Devil, and even some villains believed in it. They used living people as sacrifices to get poisonous daggers that had been soaked in the power of the shadow.

As a typical representative of the evil forces of the Ashes Woods, it and several other good or evil monsters formed the high-end armed groups of the Ashes Woods.

As for Ice Dragon, Snowflake was still far from this group.

So when the Shadow Devil suddenly attacked, even if the two strongest people in the Church of Void Mask were present, they would not have been able to make an effective resistance.

At that time it was a sunny morning, and Rhode was training with the pioneers who had been recruited. Even if he chose to start in the relatively warm summer, it still wasn't easy because he had to open up villages and towns in the bitter cold in the North, and to deal with the risks inherent in the woods. This required a lot of training so that people would understand what to do normally, and how to deal with special circumstances, in order to enhance the chance of success and avoid failure.

After all; if it failed, it would be a matter of hundreds of lives!

They set up a temporary village about one day's travel north to Rye Town. The villagers were busy and did a lot of work that they did not need to, to prepare for the future.

Gerrard was training with a group of brawny men. Their fundamental goal was not to establish a pioneers' village, but to establish the Church of Void Mask. For this purpose, of course, a group of men capable of fighting was required to form a Knight Regiment to Uphold Religion.

Snowflake was dealing with administrative affairs, roughly things related to finance, material, and personnel. She hated this tedious work, but only she or Rhode could do it before Sui Xiong got back Knight Parne, who was said to be very good at the administrative affairs. Rhode was also responsible for training civilians. Compared with the boring administrative affairs, those works were even more cumbersome and boring. It made people freaked out especially when dealing with those stupid mortals who lacked education.

Snowflake had tried, and found that those guys couldn't even distinguish the concept of left and right. Just to popularize the concept, she used several days; she was so angry that she almost killed someone. After that, even if Rhode was willing to exchange their jobs, she would absolutely not agree.

Graupel and Frost were still looking for suitable sites for exploration. They had already found several targets. However, they were not very satisfactory. They continued to search in the North and couldn't return for the time being.

Because of this, Graupel had protested several times with numerous reasons, such as "insufficient sleep is the enemy of beauty," or "children won't grow tall without enough sleep," etc. Frost always put on a sullen look and wore a disappointed face.

There were many more who were dissatisfied. Phil the Armored Demon was quite unhappy with the fact that he had to take care of the shop, and reduce his time spent taking care of the flower field in the temple. However, he was kind and accommodating.

Originally, that day should have been spent as usual: unpretentious and boring as always, boring. But that calm morning, sudden changes occurred.

From the shadow of a room, a red-black figure emerged. It had a strange smile. With a wave of its hand, countless shadows emerged from the shadows scattered throughout the village. Immediately they launched an attack on all the surrounding creatures.

In moments, more than a half of the pioneer team that Rhode had recruited with hard work was dead or injured. Less than one-third of them were lucky to escaped the attack of the shadow soldiers.

But the shadow soldiers were still emerging, and the number was increasing.

Taking in this scene, Rhode was so angry that his eyes turned red. He immediately pulled out his dagger and fought desperately against the shadow soldiers. Gerrard rushed around the village, after he had defeated a row of shadow warriors around him by waving his tomahawk. He destroyed as many monsters as possible and protected the villagers.

It was Satan who really improved this situation. As soon as he discovered the problem, he immediately activated the scroll he had prepared in advance and released more than ten light balls that glowed like shining suns. They floated over the village, intertwined with the light source that wiped out most of the outdoor shadows.

As for indoors… It was estimated that there were not many people left.

His magic was used very accurately, and it suddenly stopped the shadow soldiers who haunted. The combat effectiveness of these shadow soldiers was not very strong. They could make a surprising attack merely by relying on shadows to break into the main plane from the shadow plane. Now, all shadows were erased at that moment, and many moving shadow soldiers were cut off, turned into a smoke, and disappeared without a trace.

The red-black figures screamed in anger, because after that magic was used they lost about one-fifth of the shadow soldiers. It was a heavy loss.

So they acted personally, turned into a profound shadow, and directly attacked Satan who was casting the spell.

It came fast and without warning; Satan simply did not have time to react.

Faced with this devil who had been ravaging the world for hundreds of years, even if he had put several layers of defensive spells on his body in advance, it would not have worked.

After the hit, his body was broken up like a piece of paper that was randomly cut by scissors. The blood overflowed from countless wounds, but it was sucked up before it reached the ground. Satan instantly became as dry as a dead tree, fell heavily on the ground, and was broken into countless pieces of varying sizes.

Until this time, Satan reacted. In the face of sudden death, he unexpectedly felt very calm.

"Ah… Is this death? Ha-ha; it doesn't seem so terrible…"

However, he was clearly calm too early, because a grim black gas emerged from the red-black figure and tightly wrapped around his soul. Then the negative energy, as profound as the deep sea, crazily rushed into his soul. After a moment, his soul was completely polluted by the negative energy and turned into a distorted evil spirit.

Before he was contaminated and transformed, he only had time to make a final prayer.

"Oh my Lord! Please save my soul!"

After killing Satan with a blow and even contaminating his soul, the red-black devil slightly vented some anger, and turned its eyes to more valuable targets.

For example, the giant dragon that appeared with cold air, and was as transparent as ice crystals. Or that giant man with a tomahawk in his hand who was raging and rushing toward it.

Snowflake and Gerrard felt the existence of the Shadow Devil at almost the same time and rushed to it invariably. One of them blew out an icy flame and the other completely activated the strong supernatural power of the tomahawk that Sui Xiong had specially made. Conical blue-white flames turned everything into ice as they passed and fully enveloped the red-black devil. The golden tomahawk hit its head like a bolt of lightning.

Both of them were strongmen in the legendary realm. The momentum of their joint strike was daunting. But when they were faced with the Shadow Devil, this type of strike was completely ineffective. The red-black figure just waved its hand, and scattered the ice flames with a shock wave of negative energy. It changed them into countless pieces of ice. They fell like a heavy snowfall, and Gerrard couldn't even get close to it. He was thrown away with his tomahawk, crashed through several wooden huts in a row, and finally fell into a ruin.

Shadow Devil was simply incredibly strong!

With a blow, it broke the joint strike of Snowflake and Gerrard. It smiled proudly and its gloomy eyes fell on Snowflake.

The soul of an ice dragon might be a good collection.

But before it launched an attack again, a blue-white thunder descended from heaven, accompanied by a thunder-like bang.

Before, Sui Xiong had been floating in the air, absorbing magic power and slowly transforming it into supernatural power to enhance his own strength. This was his cultivation, just like what he did in the ice trench.

It was precisely because of his dedication to cultivation that when the Shadow Devil came to attack, he could not immediately react to it. When the believers suffered heavy losses, they awakened him from cultivation and he hurried to the ground.

But just as he swiftly rushed to the ground, Satan was killed, and Snowflake and Gerrard were defeated.

Sui Xiong was so angry that he almost freaked out, and while accelerating his speed, he fiercely struck the devil by using a thunderbolt of supernatural power without hesitation.

Because of the high speed, he even broke through the sound barrier and made an immense noise.

The thunder of supernatural power had its own tracking effect, and there was no possibility of evading it. Shadow Devil seemed to know something about Sui Xiong's situation, and didn't intend to dodge him. He waved his hand and a profound dark tide of negative energy rose and rushed directly against the supernatural power.

The two forces collided with each other in a haphazard manner. They did not make a sound, but they distorted the space around them. People could even see the scene of the shadow plane from the distortion.

The first strike between the two sides shattered the space barrier on the main plane and opened the way to the shadow plane.

But this was only the beginning. A half second later, a tentacle that was like a towering ancient tree dropped and attacked the red-black figure.

It was not until then that the roar of Sui Xiong was transmitted to the ground.

"You! Court! Death!"

Chapter 110: Chapter 110

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

In the Ashes Woods, a furious Sui Xiong and Shadow Devil fought fiercely, and the ice power and negative energy madly impacted each other, which changed the color of their surroundings. The sky was black, and the snow and ice were everywhere. The aftermath of the forces of the two sides turned the areas within tens of miles around the fighting place into a cold, dark and ghostly domain. Mortals would feel cold in their hearts even just by looking at that place; as if they were frozen in ice from the inside out.

Rhode panted violently, and he felt that his heart and lungs seemed to have frozen, and the air he exhaled was full of ice flakes.

This was, of course, an illusion. It was not him who could do this kind of thing; it was Snowflake.

Snowflake's condition was very bad. The ice flame that she spared no efforts in blowing out was defeated by the Shadow Devil, and she had already suffered from internal injuries. She was further hurt and wounded because she used magic to protect those surviving explorers who escaped together. Now she had no strength to stand up. She could only rest on Gerrard's back and let him run away, carrying her.

Gerrard had also been slammed heavily, but his skin and muscles were thick, and his recovery power was amazing. He really belonged to the kind of freak who would recover after using saliva if wounded. He was holding the tomahawk with a half-broken handle with one hand, grabbing Palin whose leg had been wounded in a fight with the shadow soldiers, and carrying Snowflake on his back, who was still paler than Rhode and had ice flakes and blood covering her mouth. Doing this, he was rushing with a large number of people who were full of fear and panic. He also had to stop and fend off the shadow soldiers who were constantly chasing after them, and fight for/ escape time.

Only he could do this type of thing.

"Rhode, you lead others to continue escaping!" He took time to shout to Rhode. "And I'll stay behind!"

Rhode wanted to argue with him, for example, "You are more important than us;" but Gerrard apparently did not belong to people who could be reasoned with, or weigh pros and cons. Judging from his honest look, he was a stubborn person. So he had to clench his teeth and lead everyone to escape.

"Don't stop!" He shouted, enduring the pain on his chest that seemed to break with every word he said. "Run with me! We must stay away from the battlefield. Even the aftermath of the battle between the God and the Devil will be fatal!"

Under his leadership, survivors ran wildly and away, as far as possible from the battlefield.

Once the temporary village had completely been turned into a ruin, the irritated Sui Xiong was too bothered to think about the issue of why the Shadow Devil suddenly wanted to attack. He spared no efforts waving his tentacles and continuously casting spells. He was determined to beat his damn bastard to death, and he wanted it to absolutely die in desperation! In an extremely miserable, inhuman, miserable way!

Because he concentrated almost all his energies on this side of the battle, he couldn't even care for the situation of his avatar. Either way, the fight between Hemsarah and Timsar was purely a war of consumption. It would not surprise him if they fought for ten days, or half a month. And since his friend was much stronger than the already half-dead guy, he didn't need to worry.

But during the fierce battle between him and the Shadow Devil, there was a bizarre black light that suddenly appeared on the face of Timsar, who was pressed under Heimsarah. The black light spread in all directions and created a huge magic formation in a short time, which enveloped itself, Heimsarah, and Sui Xiong's avatar that was watching aside.

Sui Xiong immediately sensed that something was wrong, but the magic formation had already started. He clearly felt that this was a large-scale magic formation of transmission, and would send them together to certain distant place; perhaps the holy kingdom of certain evil God, or a pre-made trap, or something else. Anyway, it would not be a good place!

Because of the slightly slow reaction, once he realized that the situation was not good, it was too late to stop the transmission. But the transmission had not yet been completed so there was room for salvation.

He took the opportunity to decisively and immediately communicate with Ray's heart, using Ray as a coordinate, and forcibly invade the transmission spell with his supernatural power. He shifted the transmission target as close as possible in Ray's direction.

Shifting it to his own body might have been more practical, but it was too far.

The distorted transmission formation made a harsh roar. A moment later, along with a turbulent flow, three giant creatures had been sent to a shallow seabed. Sui Xiong immediately used a positioning spell, and found that the current location was not far from Gars City; probably about 30 or 50 miles away.

"Fortunately, we did not fall into a trap!" He exhaled, and spared some energy so that his avatar could also make a full effort to push the supernatural power into a cold torrent, which launched an attack on Timsar.

The situation was not right now. He could only rest assured as soon as the battle on this side ended.

In the middle of the main square of Gars City, another terrible drama slowly began its prelude, when Sui Xiong's body and the avatar were in battle.

The mining ceremony was divided into three parts. Each church and organization separately led the team to parade in the streets, or preached the doctrines, or sprinkled grace, or made performances. Of course, simply throwing money was not impossible: as long as you were silly and rich, it didn't matter how one played. Anyway, the most important thing was happiness.

When all the teams were gathered in the central square, the city owner would preside over the start of the celebration, and then a prayer would be read out by the chief priest of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest. At this time, the Goddess of Harvest would descend grace, and cure pain for all the audience.

After the prayers and blessings, the ten young girls preselected in advance would pick up the most high-end geraniums that had been specially nurtured, and send them to the mages so that they could be enchanted. A public auction would then be held to sell the ten geraniums, which were called the flowers of Gars, and all the proceeds would be given to the grand Goddess, the Goddess of Harvest, who had given the people such a treasure.

As the only son of the city owner Joseph, and the most likely city owner of the next generation, Sean did not need to participate in the first stage of the parade. He sat directly on the seat near the center of the square. Behind him, there was a group of well-equipped subordinates with extraordinary dispositions, who had all kinds of tactics.

Because of his great strength, Ray was placed behind Sean. He could almost reach his neck with his hands and strangle him. Mrs. Teague was placed in a back seat, because she insisted on staying with her daughters. Ranke wanted to follow his teacher, but he was asked to sit in a back seat by Ray. Next to him was Steele, wearing a helmet as a pastor.

Steele originally wanted to be dressed in a seductive way in favor of the celebratory atmosphere. But considering the possibility of a big fight, it was not good to be too noticeable, so she could only wear armor. In this case, people wearing full armor were everywhere, and they were far less noticeable than an excessively pretty woman.

"If we fight, please take care of them," Ray asked her.

Steele smiled slightly, and knocked on the sturdy breastplate twice with her metal gloved right hand; her was of saying, You can rest assured; it's on me.

Ray smiled, nodded and came to his place.

Today's Steele was really reliable. Well, even if she was not reliable enough, there was no other choice now.

As he saw that the scene became more and more lively, he worried, and couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Sean, what do you really want to do?"

"Not something worth mentioning," Sean said. He still grinned mildly and humbly, and whispered, "You will soon know."

"I think I should know in advance," Ray said. "This way, when things happen, I can react."

Sean shook his head. "You don't need to react with anything special. It's nothing more than fighting. Isn't that what you do best?"

"I don't like fighting at all! Especially this baffling battle!" Ray said angrily.

"I don't like fighting, either. The fight is too dangerous. But I didn't have a choice," Sean said warmly. "You didn't. We are two drowning people who are bound by fate on the same rope. If you don't want to be drowned, then you must work hard to pull me up."

"This guy!" Ray cried furiously in a low voice, wishing he could pull his sword out then and there and stab him!

Time flew; the parades of various organizations gathered, followed by a crowd of people, and soon they surrounded and clogged up the entire square.

Looking at the dense dark mass of people's heads on the square, Ray could not help but shiver. Afterward, when they started to fight, maybe blood would flow like a river, and there would be corpses everywhere!

"Is it ok if we don't fight?" he sighed and tried to persuade Sean. "Look, so many people are here. It will be really miserable if we fight!"

"What's the point of saying these things? I can't decide if we fight," Sean replied with a smile. "Maybe you think you're strong, but for me, you're just a pawn that I can use with convenience. I, for a higher level of great existence, am nothing more than a pawn as well. As pawns, you and I should only have to execute orders. If we think too much, we will not only get no help, but also have more pain."

"Are you willing to be a pawn and be used? And you must risk your life!"

"I won't be a pawn all the time," Sean said. The smile on Sean's face disappeared and his tone became very determined. "Sooner or later, I will be a player!"

"You should survive today before you say that!" Ray said bluntly. "Generally speaking, people who are as ambitious as you die halfway through the game."

"A few knights who are fighting to help their friends can live, can't they?" Sean laughed again. "We are equals. Let's work hard together to live. You for your lofty goals, I for my selfish goals. But no matter what, there is hope when we survive."

"It's a pity you aren't a prophet!"

Sean smiled slightly and did not speak, but there was an exceedingly subtle and almost inaudible sound in Ray's ear.

"Who told you that I was not a prophet?"

Ray was stunned. This was clearly a spell that wasn't low level! And there were no magical fluctuations in the casting process. Obviously, it was used with superb ultra-magic skills!

Sean isn't a swordsman, is he? He's an extremely terrific caster!

Chapter 111: Chapter 111

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

When all the troops had gathered together in the planned areas, Joseph, the chatelain of Garth City who had been silently sitting in the center of the rostrum close to the square, finally stood up and began to give the opening speech.

Joseph was a legendary strong man, who was tall and had a well proportioned body. His hair was gray and mixed with a bit of green due to his extremely powerful natural force; his skin was as white as a scholar who rarely went out but sat in their library year round. His eyes were also gray, and one could see a green light flashing in them from time to time, which showed that he was really indeed powerful.

Ray was bored by Joseph's cliché opening speech and didn't listen to what he was saying at all. Still, he was very interested in Joseph and observed him secretly.

According to what Ray had heard about Joseph from other adventurers, he knew that Joseph was a strong priest who was very good at martial arts and was even better at practicing magic spells. He had been learning from the priest of the church of the Goddess of Harvest from a very young age, and was very good at cudgeling and hand-to-hand combat. Besides, he could even practice intermediate level magic spells which further increased his combat effectiveness.

In fact, although he had not pushed past the human limits of martial arts and practicing magic spells, and in terms of legendary strong men, he was not that powerful either, but because of the huge wealth the Riley Family had been accumulating for generations, Joseph could make an extremely good outfit for himself to greatly increase his combat effectiveness.

In the past, he once got into a fight with a legendary strong man, who was a templar of the church of the God of Justice. He was someone who always stood by justice and denied the privilege that was enjoyed by the aristocracy and businessmen. One time, Joseph broke into court where a young aristocrat was on trial for riding his horse over a civilian for fun, and killed him. Later, Joseph killed the entirety of the court, and around two hundred people were hanged outside Garth City, and their bodies hung on the trees along the road. This incident happened almost ten years ago, and at least ten churches of the good Gods heavily criticized him. Even so, Joseph didn't care about whether he would still be accepted by these churches and said that anyone who dared to do the missionary work for these churches in Garth City shall be hanged.

When this incident was over, a small scale war broke out, and at last, the Riley Family won. Thus, Joseph became a legendary strong man in the continent and was considered the representative of the aristocracy and businessmen. He had won great honour among his peers.

To be honest, Ray didn't like Joseph that much, but he really admired Joseph's ability and his resoluteness in doing things.

The opening speech didn't take much time, and Joseph sat down as soon as he finished his speech. Then his eldest daughter, the principle officiant of the church of the Goddess of Harvest, began to read the prayer and start the grand ceremony that was held to pay for the gift from the God. This was why so many people had come there.

The gift from the God could heal the wounded and keep one healthy, which was the necessary and luxury enjoyment of the rich. Besides, even a ceremony of this kind could cost hundreds of gold coins, and it was impossible for the poor to pay for it, so the poor came here, hoping they could get the gift from the God to keep healthy and got some of their wounds healed.

Most of the viewers were in rags and looked famished. It was still early spring and was a bit cold, so many weak people were heavily shaking due to the temperature. In fact, every year before the ceremony, many poor people who came for the ceremony would die on the street due to the lack of food and accommodation. In the past few days, Ray had seen this scene more than one time.

Ray had been told by the adventurers, who had been staying there for a long time, that in this year, the number of people who had frozen to death was relatively low, far lower than that of the last year…

Thinking of this, Ray sighed deeply and felt very sympathetic for the miserable life of the poor.

He really wanted to do something for them, but he had no idea what he should do.

Even if he was powerful enough to scare away a huge dragon, under these circumstances, he felt he was so feeble to do anything to help them.

"Maybe, if I am as strong as His Majesty, I can follow my heart to do things and make things better…"

While Ray had no idea that Sui Xiong was also in trouble now.

The Dark Shadow Evil was very difficult to cope with. Although it was not that tall, it was indeed very powerful even for Sui Xiong, and if he was hit by it, Sui Xiong would be badly and painfully injured. Besides, thanks to its agile and small body, the Dark Shadow Evil always managed to dodge Sui Xiong's attacks.

Of course, for Sui Xiong and the Dark Shadow Evil, who were both very powerful figure, a hand-to-hand battle was only one way of fighting, and if the close fighting proved to be unfavorable to both sides, the two could fight with each other via practicing magic spells.

The magnificent cold energy functioned as the dimensional anchor, shrouding a region of tens of miles, and even froze space. Sui Xiong believed that as long as he could trap the d*mn Dark Shadow Evil so it could not move freely and quickly, he could definitely catch it and tear it into pieces!

While the Dark Shadow Evil clearly knew its disadvantages, he didn't give Sui Xiong any chance to completely block the space and managed to break out by uniting negative energy into a sharp long spear that penetrated the block. When it got out, it didn't run too far but chose to loiter inside the region and fight with Sui Xiong.

Thus, the fight turned into a war of attrition.

Judging from the current situation, Sui Xiong knew that the Dark Shadow Evil could run away at any time and couldn't come up with a good way to trap it completely. When it came to combat effectiveness, Sui Xiong held all the trump cards since he was in a better place than the Dark Shadow Evil in terms of both the strength and the understanding of the energy. Every time their magic energy collided together, Sui Xiong was always in a better place, and as things went on like this, he would definitely win at last.

But Sui Xiong still felt very worried. His anger had already faded and he had become sensible again. Then he was very confused. Since he had never done anything to provoke the Dark Shadow Evil, why on earth had it attacked Sui Xiong's followers?

To be honest, most of the figures of the Evil Camp were a bit peculiar, especially those who were extremely evil, confused, and were basically a psycho. Since the Dark Shadow Evil could both accept the prayers of those thugs and manage to strike a deal with them, it was not a freak as Tim Saar was. There must be a clear reason why it attacked his followers, and Sui Xiong himself had no idea what it was.

What could it be then…?

In the center plaza of Garth City, stood Haley Riley, the principle officiant of the church of the Goddess of Harvest. She was forcefully articulating the anthem to the Goddess of Harvest, and a powerful magic energy rose up around her and turned into a green light rising into the air like a green vine.

This woman looked quit ordinary, but she had a pair of fierce eyes which were full of confidence and pride like a shining treasured sword that had just been unsheathed.

Undoubtedly, she was very powerful, which could be easily seen from that magnificent magic vine. After comparing her with her father Joseph and brother Sean, Sui Xiong realized that she was not as powerful as either of them. Both her father and brother could restrain their true power and no one could really see how strong they were in normal times. Ray had come into close contact with Sean several times, but he still didn't realize Sean was actually a spell-caster. This was indeed terrifying that one could be so strong that he could even hide his power.

If Sui Xiong could choose between Haley and Sean who he was going to fight, he would prefer the former, not the latter.

After a while, Haley finished her spell, and one could see that the green vine had already risen high up into the sky and disappeared into a piece of cloud that was floating above the plaza.

Suddenly, the cloud began to shine green, and one could vaguely see, behind the light, that there was a beautiful and nice country where there were many ripe grains and fruits in the wild field and countless angels singing, while working and harvesting the field.

"This is the projection of the Holy Kingdom of the Goddess of Harvest," Sean said. "No matter how many times I see this, I feel very uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Ray was shocked, and the hairs on his back prickled with fear.

The reason why Sean said this was already very obvious and shocking. Even Ray, who was extremely brave and audacious, was terrified by Sean's words. There was going to be a war between a certain God and the Goddess of Harvest!

Ray was shocked and felt very unlucky and really wanted to curse. Since he came here simply for some information, he never thought he would get involved in a fight between a certain God and the Goddess of Harvest!

The Goddess of Harvest was a God that had the power of the intermediate level, and of all the Gods of the Main World, with its center in the Main Plane, she was a powerful figure. The God who wanted to fight her must be very, very terrifyingly powerful!

Ray always thought highly of himself, but in this situation, he thought he was just like the cannon fodder!

My god! His Majesty, would you please allow me to kill that d*mn Sean? What? You think I could not win against him? Screw him! I don't care if I can win against him or not! I have been severely implicated by him!

However, it was too late for Ray to withdraw, he had no choice but to pull out his sword and ready himself to fight. He did this not to fight with Sean or to protect him, but instead he began to hurriedly draw back, hoping to meet his peers.

He at least needed to protect the people. As for other things, he neither had the time nor the energy to care since a war between two Gods was about to begin!

While Ray was panicking and pulling out his sword, Sean stood up and coldly stared at the slowly emerging Holy Kingdom of the Goddess of Harvest, then he sneered and waved his right hand.

"Please come, God of the Quagmire and the poisonous fog!"

Immediately, the wind began to blow and the cloud changed color, even the sky and the earth were shaking.

Chapter 112: Chapter 112

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

Before today, no one really knew that Sean could practice spells. Everyone only considered him a good swordsman. But from today on, no one would only regard him as a swordsman.

His ability to practice spells was stunning, and the first spell he practiced was the "God Descending Spell," which was the most advanced one among all the magic spells a priest could ever practice.

The so-called God Descending Spell was a spell that could make a God come to the human world; to be more specific, via this spell, one could bypass the restrictions set by the God of Life to a certain degree and make it possible for a God to send his doppelgänger to the human world. This doppelgänger was as powerful as the God himself, and was powerful enough to defeat any legendary strong man or half-God. It could even change the direction of the development of a certain country or the whole world.

However, it was not that easy to practice this spell. To do so, one needed to be able to continually provide magic energy and had to carefully calculate the energy of this spell, otherwise, not only would the doppelgänger not appear, but the spell would also cause an explosion.

Sean was obviously an advanced spell-caster; he managed to have good control of this magic spell to steadily and successfully perform it.

The wind was blowing fiercely, accompanied by smoke and fog. At the same time, a huge ball of viscous liquid appeared in the air right next to Haley, who was trying hard to summon the augmented shadow of the Holy Kingdom of the Goddess of Harvest, and completely shrouded her.

Haley was glowing bright green and wanted to get out from the viscous liquid, but as she tried, the viscous liquid began to glow green and absorb all of Haley's green light and tightly trapped her.

Seeing Haley was going to be devoured by the huge ball of viscous liquid, the chatelain of Garth City, Joseph, finally made his move.

He held a green long stick and wanted to penetrate Sean's heart from behind. Clearly, he would not show any mercy to Sean, and if he managed to hit him, Sean would definitely die!

As soon as the long stick touched Sean's clothes, it could no longer move forward, not even an inch. Of course, it was not because the stick hadn't reached its point, but it was stopped by Sean's magnificent magic power.

Joseph frowned, then he snapped his fingers, and immediately, many seeds of various colors appeared in the air and turned into bizarre plants. These vines and roots reached out toward Sean. The plants were all the same; they could absorb others' magic energy.

Of course, Sean didn't want to be twined by the plants. He had to stand still to keep the magic working, but this didn't mean that he couldn't find a way to fight back.

Sean whistled loudly and suddenly six or seven people jumped out and blocked the bizarre plants with their bodies. Obviously, these dangerous plants instantly ripped into their bodies with their roots and vines. Even so, these men were not afraid at all, instead they opened their arms and hugged the plants.

The next moment, their faces began to turn dark green and their bodies started to wither and became like dried branches. Soon, the dangerous and powerful plants became infected and also began to turn to dark green.

After a short while, both the men and the plants turned into a pile of intertwined, dried, hard lumps.

Seeing this, Joseph frowned. Since he had no idea when his own son had become so capable, he knew this was the magic spell of the God of Quagmire, which could turn everything into the dried wood.

Normally, the Goddess of Harvest and the God of Quagmire didn't fight with each other while their priesthoods were in conflict. The Goddess of Harvest was patron of fertility and affluence, while the God of Quagmire was patron of infertility and decay. Their Holy Kingdoms were totally different opposites: one was the "fertile land", while the other was the barren "withered woods and quagmire." Both of them were Gods of Nature, which further showed that they were each others' natural enemies.

As the high-ranking figure of the church of the Goddess of Harvest, Joseph knew all the tactics of the church of the God of Quagmire. He waved his hand, and immediately some more seeds flew out. This time, they were not flying to Sean, rather, they flew up and fell down onto Joseph himself.

Instantly, these seeds began to grow and flourish, as if they received nutrients from Joseph's body. Some of them turned into armor, some turned into a magic weapon, and some intertwined on Joseph's long stick, turning the green stick into a branch full of green leaves, making it look more lively.

Behind this lively scene was the terrifying intention of killing.

Joseph waved his stick again. Bang! It hit Sean's head.

Since the followers of the church of the God of Quagmire lacked the divine spell that could greatly enhance one's force, the best way to offset this disadvantage was to firstly enhance himself via the divine spell and then fight the enemy by using force.

That was happening right at this moment, and Joseph could not save Haley in time but could only stand aside, watching her being devoured by the doppelgänger of the God of Quagmire. The huge ball of viscous liquid was slowly wriggling and one could hear the sound of chewing from time to time. Countless blood streaks appeared on the surface of the viscous liquid, and whoever saw this would be frightened.

Haley, the principle officiant of the church of the Goddess of Harvest, was eaten alive by the doppelgänger of the God of Quagmire!

However, after the God of Quagmire devoured Haley, its body suddenly trembled and began to float up to the sky while slowly contracting.

"Sh*t!" Ray was terrified and immediately sheathed his sword without explaining to others why he did so. Then he grabbed Rank with one hand and Liv with the other, and asked Steele to hold up young Nice. Then he quickly ran away with Madame Teague to the place that was close to the bay.

The plaza was now in complete chaos, and while they ran, there were many people who tried to stop Ray from time to time. Ray just kicked them away without hesitation, and they rolled on the ground like gourds.

Now was the time to run away. Ray had no time to explain to these men who were trying to stop him!

Very soon, Ray could hear the wind rustling behind him. His eyes were wide open, and then he threw both Liv and Rank in the direction of the bay. In the blink of an eye, he turned around, pulled out his sword and was ready to fight.

Right at this moment, countless sticky liquids spurted from the embodiment of the God of Quagmire, as if it was raining. The liquid moved as fast as an arrow from a bow, and the whistling sound was actually the sound of the air as it was penetrated by the sticky liquid.

Most of the viewers in the plaza were just ordinary people and could not possibly fight back in this situation. At least thousands of people were hit by the sticky liquid, those who were lucky enough were hit on their head or chest and would die cleanly. While the unlucky, their hands and feet were penetrated and their wounds immediately began to rot. After a short while, their whole body became a puddle of sticky liquid.

People were scared, and in great pain. Everyone was crying and whining, the scene was too horrible for anyone to look at.

Seeing this, Ray's eyes and head felt as if they were going to explode. On the one hand, he was quickly brandishing his long sword, trying to stop the sticky liquid that was moving as fast an a arrow, but, on the other hand, he was asking the viewers to run.

Anyway, he had made a difference. Under his protection, at least hundreds of people were hurriedly running toward to the bay.

But he could do no more, since there were still more crying and whining people that had been hit by the sticky liquid and many had already turned into a puddle of sticky liquid.

Only the strong men of the advanced level or the heavily armored warriors could stand the attack of the sticky liquid, but compared with the God of Quagmire's followers that were under the protection of the defense spell and thus would not be eroded by the sticky liquid, they were outnumbered.

At the same time, Sean lost and could no longer stand the combination of the magic spell and the martial arts used by Joseph, and was hit in the chest.

Crack! Sean's bone broke and he began to spit blood. He fell and slipped on the ground that covered in the sticky liquid and slipped into the long distance.

What a coincidence, he was slipping toward Ray.

Seeing this, Ray quickly brandished his sword and broke the surrounding ground and made him float above the ground for a while with some trick. Then Ray cut Sean with the vigour of his sword and Sean was wounded all over. At the same time, the sticky liquid was also gotten rid of.

"Steele, treat him!" Ray shouted.

After putting young Nice aside Madame Teague, Steele hurriedly came back and began to cast the spell. Immediately, a flash of white light fell on Sean, and then his wound began to heal, and his pale face also became a bit red.

"Don't… waste your time and energy…" Sean shook his head and forced a smile, asking Steele to stop helping him. "I… am going to die…"

"Something's wrong! There is an energy inside his body that has stopped his body from healing!" Steele exclaimed. "I can't get rid of it!"

While they were talking, blood flowed from both Sean's ears and nose, he looked really terrible.

"Stop talking nonsense! You made me do you a favor. You owe me this time!" Ray said angrily. "You prefer to do nothing to save him, so when he dies, there will be no need to return the favor to me. This is how you are thinking, right?"

Sean's smile waned, but he sounded a bit more energetic, then he said, "In fact… as for the answer… you have already guessed… haven't you…?"

Ray frowned and asked, "You mean this was all arranged by the church of the Noble Maids?"

"Who else would it be then?" Sean laughed and then he began to cough up more blood. He had a few big breath and said, "And… the Dim Moon…"

"What?!" Ray was shocked. "He was also part of this?"

"They… have… always… been an ally to each other…"

Ray could not help cursing, and then hurriedly asked, "What have you got to say? Spit it out! You want to bring these secrets to the grave?!"

"I have finished… the rest… has nothing to do with you… and if you know, it won't do you any good." Sean was heavily breathing and blood was still flowing from his mouth, "I am just a pawn… I am useless now… Don't be naive… and never be a pawn again…"

Then, his eyes began to shine green and a scary energy bustled inside his body, which made both Ray and Steele beside him immobile. As if the two were being pressed by a huge rock, they found it difficult to breath or think.

Suddenly, Sean managed to jump up and jumped to the center plaza by using up all his left energy.

Instantly, the sticky liquid that had covered the whole plaza began to flow toward him from all directions and quickly wriggled into his body like an arrow from a bow.

Sean floated in the air, and after a short while, his facial expression changed completely. One could no longer see any human emotion on his face, and his skin was dry as the withered vines, and smelly, dirty water constantly flowed from his eyes, nose and mouth.

A terrifying ball of light was shining in his body, the light of divine power.

At the same time, Joseph, who was fighting the huge sticky monster and was retreating one step after another, made a desperate cry. His body was also in flames.

The flame was green and the light of the divine power also shone in his body.

"Go!" Ray shouted and took Steele with him and ran away.

Ray didn't excel in practicing magic spells, as he could only cast a few. In fact he was just as capable of a bard in this regard. However, he was really good at recognizing certain spells, so he immediately saw what was really going on. Joseph had realized that he could not win, so he made his final move by burning himself and summoning the power of the God.

This spell was just a different kind of God Descending Spell and would have a better result compared to the one cast by Sean. This spell may cost more, which meant that every time this spell was practiced, a powerful and faithful follower would be the sacrifice.

As for the church that had a huge number of faithful followers, like the church of the God of Sun, sacrificing a powerful and faithful follower would not be a big deal. While the church of the Goddess of Harvest was just a church of a medium size, and there were just a few followers who were as strong as Joseph, and the Goddess of Harvest would feel sorry if any of them died.

The Goddess of Harvest was furious, and showed her doppelgänger which had infinite divine power, eagerly hoping to kill one of the God of Quagmire's doppelgängers who had tried various ways to provoke her, and teach it a good lesson!

Ray didn't want to stay in the battlefield where the war between the two Gods was going to begin, even if it was in fact a war between two doppelgängers of the Goddess of Harvest and the God of Quagmire! Since a war between between the Gods could cause huge damage, sometimes a country could be totally destroyed, and Ray was just a ordinary person, so he thought it was best for him to run away.

Ray and Steele were running as if on wings, and soon they managed to catch up with the people who were also running for their lives. Madame Teague, Liv, Rank and young Nice were anxiously waiting for them and were relieved upn seeing Ray and Steele come back.

Although things were not as good as they thought they would be, luckily, Ray and others in the team were still alive.

There were not many people now, and everyone felt frightened when realizing that earlier before there were a huge number of people gathering in the plaza.

"The God of Quagmire is crazy!" Ray was furious and didn't care about the etiquette of calling a God by his alias at all. Then he said angrily, "After having killed so many people at one time, is he not afraid that the God of Justice would hold him to this?"

The God of Justice was a very special existence among all the Gods, neither had he built a Holy Kingdom of his own, nor had he built a church. He had a strong sense of justice and usually sent out his doppelgängers from time to time and was ready to help the weak. Besides, more than once, he had gotten into a fight with other Gods simply because he didn't like the way they unfairly treated the people. And the God of Quagmire's doing so was sure to anger him, and he would definitely have a big fight with the God of Quagmire.

When it came to combat effectiveness, few Gods were as strong as the God of Justice.

For a God who was backed up by a group of powerful Gods that belong to a certain department, he may dare to care nothing about the God of Justice, but the God of Quagmire was just a unpopular figure among the Gods of Nature, and had angered the Goddess of Harvest. How did he dare to do so?

Ray had been thinking about this for a long time, and couldn't think it through even if his head began to ache. At last, he had no choice but to believe that the reason why the God of Quagmire did this was due to the mental disorder that a God of this kind could have. The bard usually said that "one who is mentally disordered usually did things in a peculiar way."

Madame Teague sighed and said, "We should hurry, things are going to get worse, maybe there will be a bigger fight."

Ray nodded and thought a while, then he shouted to the people who were running for their lives and asked them to follow him, and leave from the east gate close to the bay.

To do so, they would have to make a big circle of the city, since there were only two gates: one on the east side of the city and the other on the west side. If they meant to leave from the west gate, they would have to cross the plaza, so they could only leave from the east gate.

These people who were in such chaos listened to him and quickly ran to the east gate. More and more citizens of Garth City realized that there would be bigger fight soon, so they also joined the people running toward the east gate.

Right at this moment, a loud blast came from the plaza.

"What on earth has happened!" Ray angrily turned back and saw the sticky monster had countless bubbles all over its body, and there were even some holes on its body. Obviously, these holes were caused by the inner explosion, it seemed that it had eaten something that could explode, and it had exploded inside of its body.

Ray was stunned and saw that inside its stomach, there was a transparent figure shining in green light, and it was doing some sort of magic spell.

But since he was standing too far away from it, he could not clearly see what the transparent figure looked like. Judging from its behaviour and bearing, Ray found that it was Haley Riley who had been eaten alive by the sticky monster earlier before.

"What is going on? She died, didn't she?"

Ray was confused and quickly swept his eyes over Steele and knew the reason why Haley became like this.

Could Haley… became the holy spirit of the Goddess of Harvest when she died?

Maybe she hadn't become a holy spirit, but undoubtedly, she changed into a divine creature from a human's soul and grew much more powerful.

In fact, only a follower in the high level of a certain God's church could receive the divine grace from a certain God based on how much contribution they had made, after they died and became a powerful divine creature. While for those ordinary followers, no matter how faithful they were or how much contribution they had made, they could never become a powerful divine creature when they died.

Thinking of this, Ray sneered, turned around and left since he knew neither the Goddess of Harvest nor the God of Quagmire, and the fight between the two was just dog-eat-dog.

Meanwhile, in the plaza, Joseph had completely turned into the incarnation of the Goddess of Harvest, a ball of green fire, and was having a fight with Sean, who had been possessed by the God of Quagmire. While the powerful men of all the churches and organizations who had survived were working with Haley, who had become a divine creature, to combat the huge sticky monster.

The sticky monster was both the incarnation of the God of Quagmire and its oracle as well. Before it possessed Sean, it was the former, and after it possessed Sean, it became the latter. Without the guidance of the God of Quagmire, the sticky monster was very reckless and reacted very slowly. Under the attack of those strong men and Haley, it was soon in a very difficult situation.

Haley was doing most of the work actually, her tactic was very simple. She released the green bubbles one by one from her hand, and as soon as the bubble appeared, it began to expand and exploded inside the body of the huge sticky monster; at the same time, she snapped her fingers constantly with her other hand, and seeds appeared from nowhere and dropped on the sticky monster. In the blink of an eye, the seeds started to quickly flourish by absorbing its vitality and turned into many big trees that later became many tall and strong tree men. The tree men then shook their bodies, slowly pulled out their roots, shook their branches and attacked the sticky monster.

Those men who had survived the previous bombardment were indeed powerful. They might not be able to fight for a long time when confronted by the sticky monster, but when it was busy fighting with Haley, they could easily do their bit by hitting and punching the sticky monster.

Soon, the sticky monster was injured all over and began to react more and more slowly, and it was obvious that it would be defeated very soon.

The God of Quagmire, who had possessed Sean, was having a difficult time with the incarnation of the Goddess of Harvest and failed to take much advantage of her opponent; she had got some advantages, but not many. Judging by the current situation, the huge sticky monster would definitely be killed, although this would take some time, even then it was impossible for it to win against the Goddess of Harvest.

Realizing this, the God of Quagmire made up its mind and sent out the signal as it had made an agreement with the Goddess of Sea that it would do so when it was in a difficult situation.

A disturbing green light appeared and flew into the sky, and then it spread out in the air and turned into a strange symbol.

When the symbol began to rise up, the sunny sky suddenly turned cloudy, and the wind started to blow fiercely. Meanwhile, the tranquil sea was raging.

The guard in the observation station close to the sea surprisingly found that there were many ugly creatures with scale covered bodies in the sea.

Seeing this, they were extremely terrified and hurriedly rang the bell.

"The Sea Race… is coming!"

The bell rang, and everyone was shocked, even those citizens of Garth City who hid in their homes finally came out and looked at the bay in surprise.

They knew what the sound of the bell meant: the d*mn aquatic monsters once again came in groups!

"Go… Go and tell the chatelain… that the sea race is coming!" Since the chief commander had gone to the ceremony, the official who was temporarily working there was neither as strong as him, nor as popular as him, and was so terrified that his face became pale and he stammered badly.

The officials in the lower rank looked at each other and soon hurried about in confusion.

Tell the chatelain? How? The fight over the plaza was so intense now, it was impossible for them to inform Joseph!

"Moron! It is such a miracle that you are still alive! Since you are so stupid and haven't be killed yet!" An old officer who once was a adventurer cursed, "You are even in a daze in this critical moment? You should be prepared to fight instead!"

"But… but…" The officer temporarily working there put on a long face and said, "Only the chief commander, the chatelain, Haley, the principle priest and Master Sean can activate the hub that controls the magic array…"

Hearing this, the old officer almost passed out. None of them were there, which meant that the huge magic array that had costed a million to build, and could be used against the army of the sea race was no use at all now!

Although there were many soldiers in Garth City, compared to the army of the sea race that had countless members, the amount of the soldiers was basically nothing. In the past, the sea race had made several intrusions, and they managed to defeat them with the help of the huge magic array, and even so, the fight had caused many casualties. This time, the sea race came again, and looked fiercer than ever before, and the magic array could not be activated. What was worse, they had to rely on the soldiers…

My God! How could it be possible!

"What should we do?" the officer asked while shivering. He now regarded the experienced old officer who was very calm under this situation as the life-saving straw, hoping the old officer could save them all.

"I have no f*cking idea!" the old officer angrily replied, then he turned to the people who were running for their lives and said, "The sea race is coming now, you will most certainly die since you can't run as fast as them! Is there any man who is capable enough to fight them? Please come with me and fight against the sea race, so we can create more time for the people to run!"

However, no one answered, even the adventurers who were normally audacious and proud. Clearly, they were well equipped, but they were still silent. They mixed themselves in with the crowd and ran to the east gate.

These adventurers were the kind of people who lived for money, now that Garth City would be destroyed, why would they stay to defend the city when they would not get paid?!

Why would they would risk their lives to create more time for the people to run for their lives while they would not be paid? Only the audacious knights would do such a thing!

Still, there were some adventurers who bravely joined the old officer and were ready to work with the soldiers to fight the sea race.

Among them, there were Ray and Rank.

Chapter 114: Chapter 114

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

For most of the people who lived in the coastal area, the invasion of the sea race was a disaster that was even more scary than a tsunami.

The so-called sea race referred to the species that lived in the sea, that believed in the Goddess of Sea and adopted a hostile attitude toward the terrestrial creatures and aimed to kill every one of them. The sea race consisted of all kinds of different species, and the biggest branch of the sea race was the merman and the sea fairy.

There were various kinds of creatures in the sea, and in fact they could roughly be divided into two camps. One was ruled by the powerful half-God creature that regarded the Goddess of Life, who had already died, as their Mother. They lived in the distant seas or the deep seas and called themselves the "citizens of the sea." The backbone of this camp was the merman race, among which there were many old mermen who had been living in the sea since the ancient time and had even witnessed the birth and the death of many Gods: the predecessor of the "furious tide" Haimu Sarah, and the "dark tide" Tim Saar, the half-God strong men or the "living tsunami" Sarah Mentor, was one of the old mermen and was also honored as the "king of the sea".

And the other camp was the so-called "sea race."

The citizens of the sea remained neutral and even had a friendly relationship with the terrestrial creatures. Since the citizens of the sea were very powerful, they had enough confidence, and they had been living far away from the land, so they were not in conflict with the terrestrial creatures in terms of habitat.

While things were rather different between the sea race and the terrestrial creatures. Most of the members of the sea race lived in the coastal waters or the shallow waters, thus they were in direct conflict with the terrestrial species in terms of the habitat. Since the individuals of the sea race were rather feeble and would often suffer losses in small conflicts with the terrestrial creatures, the hatred they held toward become more and more intense as time went by. At last, the sea race regarded all the terrestrial creatures as their enemy.

In the beginning, the Goddess of Sea was a God of Nature and she remained neutral in the conflict between the sea race and the terrestrial creatures. Later, she adopted the faith of the sea race and her mind was gradually eroded by their hatred, and she became an evil God at last.

After a period of time, the Goddess of Sea gave an oracle and asked the sea race to gather at a certain coastal line, then to land, and kill every terrestrial creature they could possible see.

This was the so-called the invasion of the sea race.

Among the sea race, the skirmisher was not that powerful; in fact, the most dangerous and powerful figure was the elite team led by the strong figures of the sea. These strong figures were not interested in attacking the ordinary citizens, instead they liked to attack the town and the village. Every time they destroyed a certain town or a village, they would gather all the captives together and dig a big hole in the ground. Then they would squeeze out the blood from these captives and pour the blood into the hole to fill it. Later, they would bathe in the blood one by one, and the one who had established the most splendid record would bathe first. The reason why they held this ruthless ceremony was to please the Goddess of Sea.

Once Garth City was destroyed by them, the soldiers would be either killed during the fight, manage to run away, or their blood would be extracted to fill the hole.

In the past, the sea race had invaded Garth City more than once, although they never managed to destroy Garth City that the Riley Family had painstakingly built. they had brought great misery to the citizens of Garth City. Thus most of the people felt extremely frightened whenever they heard of the sea race.

Currently, there was a big war in Garth City. Joseph, the chatelain of Garth City, and his daughter who believed the Goddess of Harvest, were in a big fight against Master Sean who believed in the Goddess of Quagmire. The other camps were also involved in this fight: therefore, the soldiers could only rely on themselves to fight with the sea race.

Could it really be possible for them to stand up against the invasion of the sea race? Since they neither had the backup of the defending force, nor did they have the magic array, the only thing they had were some ordinary soldiers and some brave adventurers.

Ray didn't believe that they could definitely defeat the sea race, but he felt that he had to stay to fight and create more time for the people to run.

Liv also wanted to stay and fight together with Ray, but she was persuaded by Ray to leave.

"You need to take care of young Nice," he said. "Your mother is very powerful, but it is impossible for her to spare the energy to take care of Nice if something happens. As for Steele, one can't fully rely on her… so you should take up the responsibility to take care of Nice."

Hearing this, Liv meant to bargain with Ray, but Ray put on a poker face and angrily stared at her, so she said nothing.

"Liv, you are a knight, right? If you think you are, you should obey the order I gave you!" He pointed at the crowded refugees, "As your teacher, I command you to maintain the order of the team and help them to successfully retreat."

"But… I…"

"There is no 'but' in the dictionary of a knight!" Ray shouted. "Rank, Teague and Steele, you three have to cooperate with her, do you hear me?"

Rank agreed and he pulled out his sword, ready to fight together with Liv. Madame Teague was a bit stunned, since Rank directly called her "Teague," but soon she lowered her head and obeyed Ray's command; while Steele was a bit reluctant and frowned, but at last, she didn't show her reluctance.

Liv was almost going to cry, but she managed to pull herself together. Then she yelled at, punched, kicked or hit anyone who was making trouble, trying to maintain the order of the crowd. She even killed a bandit, who meant to loot with her sword. She then brandished the sword from which the blood dripped and warned the refugees to behave themselves and to run toward the direction she was pointing. She looked like a shepherd and the refugees were just like a herd of sheep.

"She is doing pretty well." Ray crossed his arms on his chest and smiled while watching Liv doing so in the far distance, "I never thought she was so leader-like!"

"But it all seems very reasonable. Since the king has always thought highly of the knight, Pahn, and regarded him as the perfect lord-to-be of the Holy Land, and Liv, as his daughter has been under his education from a very young age, so it is not surprising she is a warrior with a mind. Maybe her real talent is not in the field of swordsmanship, but in leadership…"

Then, Ray turned around and pulled out his sword.

"Although I may not be able to win this fight at all… still, it makes me feel very excited!"

At the bay, the tide was turning; meanwhile, countless mermen landed, brandishing their shabby weapons. They were such a mess and acted in a disorderly manner, but they managed to frighten any brave man who dared to fight against them simply with their numbers.

Moreover, among them, there were many powerful elites who were leading the army, like the merman priests, the merman warriors, the merman tribal chief and alike. The mermen team might look very messy, but when examined carefully, one could find that there were many disciplined proceeding groups among the messy team.

"It is a common practice for the merman to cover the elites with the messy crowds." The old officer came close to Ray and said to him, "Thank you for your help. It never occurred to me that an adventurer like you, who has just come to this city, would be willing to risk your life to help us."

"Any decent man could not possibly ignore a massacre that is soon to happen," Ray replied. "Especially… after my failing to stop another massacre that happened very recently."

The old officer was silent for a while and asked, "What on earth is going on over the plaza?"

"I can only tell you what I have seen and the speculation I made based on what I have seen, and I can't promise you that everything I am going to say is one hundred percent right."

"Please."

"Firstly, Master Sean seems to be a follower of the God of Quagmire, and he is of very high rank in his church. I think he may be some sort of candidate," Ray said. "Although he seems like he doesn't want to join this fight, his identity and status make him unable to contradict the order of the God of Quagmire."

The old officer was shocked, and his eyes and mouth were wide open.

He had already been shocked after hearing only the "firstly." The Riley Family had been following the Goddess of Harvest for generations, and most of the family members were all in some very important positions in the church of the Goddess of Harvest. He never thought that the future successor of the Riley Family could be a candidate of the God of Quagmire!

This was just like the leader of a herd of cats suddenly becoming a dog, or the king of the ladies kingdom turning out to be a man! It was indeed ridiculous!

"Then, during the ceremony, he summoned the doppelgänger of the God of Quagmire to come to the Main Plane," Ray said. "Maybe he summoned a doppelgänger of a certain oracle, since that huge sticky monster was too shabby to be a doppelgänger of a God."

The old officer nodded and took no notice of Ray's disrespect of the doppelgänger.

"Then, Haley was eaten by the sticky monster; the sticky monster initiated a large scale attack, and turned all the viewers in the plaza into sticky liquid. The chatelain was furious and Sean was severely injured by him. Then Sean was possessed by the God of Quagmire, and the chatelain also summoned the incarnation of the Goddess of Harvest by burning his vitality. Later, Haley's soul turned into a divine creature and fought against the sticky monster with other survivors." Ray was trying very hard to make a summary of what had transpired so far. "Now, they are still fighting with each other."

Hearing this, the old officer became silent, and let out a long sigh.

"I don't understand," he said.

Ray shrugged and said, "Even I didn't understand what was really going on; although, I was there at that time, so it is pretty normal for you to not be able to understand!"

"But I know what I should do now," the old officer shook his head, and tried to clear his mind after hearing the story told by Ray. Then he said in a very low voice, "I don't care what is going on over the plaza, since I am a member of the sea defense army, my obligation is to protect Garth City from the invasion of the sea race!"

Ray patted his shoulder while smiling, "You are right… but have you got any better ideas? If you don't, it is very likely that we may lose!"

"Ideas? I haven't got any ideas! To be honest, I don't think we can win this fight!" The old officer, with one third of his hairs whitened, murmured, "Even so, we should confront them! I have lived in this city all my life and I am an aristocrat. I can not possibly abandon my city to save my own neck, and leave it to the enemy…"

Before he even finished his words, he suddenly shot an arrow and killed a young man who was well dressed.

This young man was trying to sneak away while the old officer was talking with Ray, and thought no one had noticed him.

"The number one rule of the sea defense army of Garth City: anyone who runs away during a fight shall be killed!"

Suddenly, the old officer's attitude became as cold as the freezing north wind. He then said coldly, "I know many of you have been sent to join the sea defense army with the intent of polishing your experience, and I know you always bum around being gluttonous and lazy, and even deceive your superiors and delude your subordinates… Well, I can forgive all this, but now the sea race is coming, and you want to ask me why you are so unlucky that you have to be in this situation, and I shall tell you that this is your fate!"

"So don't complain to me or try to run away! What you should do is to pick up your weapons and fight!"

"I don't want to hear any excuses, and I don't care. I am only in charge of two things. First, I will never allow the sea race to cross the bay and to kill the people, even if this would cost my life. Second, I shall kill anyone who attempts to run away!"

He looked around in a rather serious way. Although he was just a low rank officer, now he was as magnificent as a huge dragon.

"Now, let's fight!"

"Ha!" Ray shouted and brandished his long sword, managing to cut three to four mermen, as well as their weapons, into two halves. Then he quickly broke into another crowd of mermen and brandished his sword. Instantly, the ground was covered with the light blue blood of the merman, and the merman that were shouting and yelling were all dead.

In fact, there were some soldiers that had been trapped by the merman and were at the brink of being killed by them, but thanks to Ray's help, they managed to survive. When they wanted to thank Ray, they found that Ray had already left.

Ray's armour had turned blue due the blood of the merman, and behind him, a huge number of dead mermen were lying on the ground. Looking from the sky, one could have spotted a blood line among the merman army which divided the upcoming mermen and the mermen that were having fight with the sea defense army.

Ray was running in the battlefield and brandishing his sword as quickly as the blowing wind, leaving a pile of dead mermen behind him. Ray then suddenly found that the space in front of him became very open, and he realized that he had already fought all the way across the battlefield.

He finally had the chance to take a rest; then he turned around and found that the ruthless merman had been shocked by his strength. He could see the fear in their ugly faces.

When he brandished his sword again, the merman could stand no more and ran away while whining.

The battlefield was covered with the merman's bodies.

"Well done!" the old official who had also gotten blood all over himself touched his moustache and got blood all over his hand. He was disgusted by this and cleaned his hand on his clothes. Then he gave a thumbs up to Ray and said, "I know you won't disappoint us, since you can catch the three-headed snake alive all by yourself!"

Ray smiled and got rid of the blood that was left on the sword. Then he cleaned the sword and put it back into his sheath.

"This is just the beginning; more mermen will come soon!"

The old officer nodded and sighed while watching the merman army that was organizing its team at the bay in the long distance.

"The damn mermen, why there are so many of them!"

Both the soldiers and the adventurers standing next to Ray all agreed with him. If it were another battlefield, killing such a huge number of mermen would be equal to a massacre, but in the fight with the sea race, it was just killing a tiny part of the sea race.

Even the one who was the most confident and brave could not think positively that he had won this battle when he saw the boundless mermen army in the long distance.

The mermen team was always in chaos. Since most of the mermen were just ordinary creatures who didn't even know what order really meant, and being in disorder was their nature. Only those who were strong enough to suppress their natures could maintain the order to a certain degree, just like a child pretending to be a soldier.

When it came to an individual merman, they were not that powerful. Even the "strong merman" that was in the rank of tribal chief was only as powerful as a new and inexperienced adventurer; for the experienced adventurer, it was basically nothing.

This disadvantage was offset by the large quantity of mermen. A grown female merman laid around a thousand eggs once a year, and if a certain priest hosted an incubation ceremony, then about thirty days later, almost sixty percent of the eggs would hatch. If there was enough food, around half of the larvae merman, that looked like malformed fish, could survive. They would change their form in three months. They would mature in a year and could breed in three years, which meant that if good conditions were provided, a female merman could breed three hundred children in a year. Three years later, among the first generation of three hundred mermen, half of them would began to breed…

The fertility of the mermen was indeed strong; and they must have been number one amongst all the intelligent creatures in this regard. The gap between them and the creature who was number two in this regard was as big as the gap between a landmark tall building and a short shabby shack!

The reason why the sea race intruded the land from time to time was believed to be a way to decrease the oversized population, so they could avoid the waste of resources.

The population was actually a very precious resource for most intelligent species, but for the mermen, it was a burden.

The mermen knew that they had a huge population, so the tactic they liked most was to attack all together. They didn't care about the loss of their peers, since they knew that the number of the mermen that were killed was basically nothing compared with to the whole population of mermen. Once, when the sea race intruded the land, there was a legendary wizard who counted the number of the mermen. He was sure that there were around three million of them, but he didn't manage to finish counting, since he was forced back by the strong mermen of the sea race.

Since the sea race had a huge population, it was never a problem if the individual merman was feeble, or that they were always in disorder. In particular, when the sea race intruded the land, and there were some strong men from the other races that would practice spells to help them, the mermen would become crazy and not retreat until they died.

When facing an enemy that was a few times, or tens of times, or hundreds of times, or even thousands of times more in terms of the number, and that enemy was not afraid of being killed, who dare to say he was not afraid?

Ray dared not to, anyway.

Ray was much more powerful than any merman, and in theory could come and go freely even if he was facing thousands upon thousands of horses and soldiers, as long as he had a sword in his hand. But when facing millions in a merman army, he could not possibly kill them all, even if he had three heads and six arms!

Just now, he managed to kill hundreds of mermen, but so what? If he wanted to defeat the whole merman army, he would have to repeat that at least tens of thousands of times!

After all, he was just a human, and he would feel tired after fighting for a long time, and hungry when there was no food, and pain when getting hurt. Even though the weapons the mermen had were shabby, once one was hit by the weapon, it was fatal. If one was exhausted and trapped by many mermen at the same time, even a legendary strong man would die.

As for the strong sea monsters, although they couldn't stay on land for too long, they were as powerful as huge rolling rocks. If one got into a fight with a certain sea monster, they would soon be encircled ring by ring by the mermen. Then the mermen would cooperate with the sea monster… basically, when one was in this situation, they were bound to die.

However, the sea monsters were not the most dangerous figures. The most dangerous ones were the strong mermen of the sea race disguised as the ordinary mermen, hiding.

The strong mermen had nobody else on their level; they were not reserved at all, and always disguised as ordinary mermen. When the strong men in the land were busy in fighting with the enemies, they would suddenly sneak attack and kill them all.

All those years, there were many strong men in the land had been killed by the sea race. A huge number of legendary strong men died in their hands, and many men died without knowing that they were killed by the strong mermen.

What Ray worried about most was the strong mermen.

He carefully watched the merman army that was climbing up to the wharf and reorganizing troops and trying to make a sort of formation at the same time, hoping to find the strong mermen that were hiding among the merman army.

Ray hadn't met any strong mermen yet. He thought maybe the strong mermen didn't manage to come in time, or maybe the mermen he had killed were just the ordinary ones. But anyway, when the mermen intruded the land, there must have been some strong mermen hiding in the ordinary merman, since this had been proved by countless men with the price of their lives!

"Fire! Fire!"

When the merman army got closer to a certain degree, the magic cannons that were put in the inner side of the wharf began to work, and made a sound that was as loud as thunder. The wizards of low rank were controlling the cannons and taking the risk of being killed by the explosions of the cannon barrels to increase the speed of the bombs. Since they had done many exercises, they could hit where there were many mermen every time.

The bombs were actually a magic crystals wrapped up inside metal shells. They were not very steady and the magic array inside the metal shells managed to keep them from exploding. Once the bomb was sent out, the magic array would lose its effect in a short period of time, and the magic crystal would explode and became a shining ball of flame that was as powerful as the fireball spell, a spell of the intermediate level.

The cannon used in the Garth City was a classic one; it was not that powerful, but the speed of the bombs as they were sent out was very fast. The wizards of low rank kept firing tens of magic cannons, and the bombing sound never stopped, not even for a second, as if there was a group of dragons roaring. The crowded merman army was being constantly bombarded.

"Bastard! Go to hell!" Sui Xiong was yelling, and making good use of every bit of his cold energy. He had managed to freeze most of the space, although the Dark Shadow Evil could still temporarily run away by penetrating the space. But the range where it could move freely was getting smaller and smaller.

Soon, it could no longer run away. It had to confront Sui Xiong and have a big fight with him.

Sui Xiong was very confident that he could kill it when that time came! But Sui Xiong was a bit worried; he felt this was all very strange. Clearly the Dark Shadow Evil knew it was in a very dangerous situation, but it didn't even try to retreat. Why?

Could it be possible… that there was someone giving it orders and commanding it not to?

If that someone really existed, could he be a God? He must be powerful, if there was someone that could make the Dark Shadow Evil—which had plagued the human world for hundreds of years—fight for him, or make it continue fighting despite the danger.

Who would be then? Who would attack his own church?

Meanwhile, the fight between Haimu Sarah and Tim Saar was getting more and more intense. The two huge creatures were entangling each other, and the furious tide was colliding with the dark tide, creating raging currents at the bottom of the sea. The doppelgänger of Sui Xiong was waving its tentacles and continued hitting at the part of Tim Saar's body where there was cold energy, hoping to kill it sooner.

Sui Xiong had to hurry up to finish the battle here, so he could send his doppelgänger to help either Ray or himself; this would be helpful to either of them.

However, something unexpected happened to Ray.

Ranke, who was supposed to leave for Liv, came back!

"Rank, what are you coming back for?" When he saw the students returning, Ray was unhappy, and he frowned.

"I want to fight. I want to help my teacher. I want to protect the refugees!" Rank was afraid, but he answered seriously.

"If you help to maintain order, you are helping me and are protecting them."

"As Liv is there doing these things, it's enough, because she can do it very well. When teacher Parne was young, a large number of monsters haunted the Golden Tower City, and he temporarily gathered a group of people. They swept that area for two months and almost extinguished the monsters that had attempted to form a beast army. Liv is the child of Pahn. She inherited his blood and talents, grew up under his guidance, and she can do a good job of maintaining order and leading a group of refugees to escape." Rank had consider this and replied without hesitation, "I can't help over there, so I'd rather come here, at least I can kill a few more murlocs!"

"You can kill murlocs with such humble strength?" Ray sniffed at his words.

Rank suddenly blushed, "Teacher… I'm also very powerful! Not long ago I contested several adventurers, and I was successful in some sessions!"

To be honest, his strength was indeed good and he could be considered a qualified adventurer. He could at least be a small captain in the Sea Defence Forces of Garth City. He would lead six or seven individuals and be independent when the situation was not very crucial. In contrast to the rookie he was a few months ago, he had been reborn.

However, in Ray's view, his strength was far from enough!

"Where do you think you are? Is this a field of friendly games?" he said sulkily. "This is a battlefield against the invasion of the maritime races! You are not faced with kind adventurers, but countless maritime armies that you can't kill them all! You have really made progress and now you can be considered a good adventurer, but what is the point of that!!"

He reached out his hand and Rank saw the murlocs rushing from afar against the bombardment of magical cannons.

"See? See the number of them!" he said angrily. "Do you know that at least ten people with an ability similar to yours died in the battle just now? And that was only a tentative attack!"

"Leave! Leave! If the fight starts, you can't leave even if you want to!"

Rank bowed his head, and kept silent for a moment. He then raised his head again with a tenacious look in his eyes.

"Teacher, I haven't planned to leave yet since I came back!"

Ray was dumbfounded and looked at him, not daring to believe him.

"You and Teacher Pahn both taught me the virtues of the knight: humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, faith, honesty, and fairness. I'm not strong enough; I'm not smart enough; I can't practice the eight virtues one by one. But even I know that this time it is time for the knight to sacrifice!"

"You are by no means a knight!" Ray roared. "You haven't graduated yet!"

"Then, let me be on your side for this last lesson." Rank raised his sword, "I swear by this oath. I will show mercy to the weak, bravely fight against all evil and injustice, fearlessly sacrifice, and firmly defend my honor… Teacher, as I have managed to practice half of the eight virtues, am I qualified as a knight apprentice?"

Speaking of this, he finally laughed, and he showed a look of joy and anticipation on his still childish face.

It was the look of a child who did what he believed to be the right thing, and who longed for recognition from his parents and teachers, and for praise.

Ray wanted to sternly refute him, to use his debating skills he learned from his his teacher who was a world-renowned scholar, and to scold this kid so that he couldn't lift his head and could only leave awkwardly. However, when he saw Rank's look and saw the childish look of anticipation, he felt that there was an inexplicable excitement that made him unable to speak.

Once upon a time, he was like Rank: full of enthusiasm and anticipation, wanted to become an outstanding knight, wanted to get the approval of teachers and his father through his own actions, wanted to uphold justice as a knight, and wanted to be a world-renowned hero…

He turned to prevent Rank from seeing the tears in his eyes, and he said in the toughest tone, "Since you have decided, then come with me! Grab your sword firmly and never fall off! You are my student and cannot die in this small place!"

Rank was dumbfounded, then understood his teacher's meaning, and could not help but laugh.

He knew that his teacher really recognized him.

So he nodded heavily and replied, "I'll work harder!"

"Don't talk big. A knight must use action to prove himself!"

"Yes!"

As they talked, the murlocs army had rushed in front of them against the bombardment of the magical cannons.

With Ray and the old officer taking the lead, the defenders shouted together, waved their weapons, and rushed towards the army.

With the flash of knives and swords, blood splattered.

"You b*stard! Who sent you!" Sui Xiong shouted, and his tentacles fluttered wildly. Each blow left a deep crack in the ground like a scar. He said, "Confess honestly!"

Just now, he finally and completely blocked the space of this zone and blocked the retreat of the Shadow Devil. After losing the ability to freely shuttle between the main plane and the shadow plane, for all the flexibility the red-black ghost had, it became a bit awkward when faced with the dozens of Sui Xiong's mighty tentacles.

So he couldn't help but snarl and ask again, trying to ask who was behind the scene.

Because his heart was full of unease, he felt that something dangerous was happening, but he had no clue what.

This made him anxious, annoyed and irritated. He was not a person who was good at reasoning and speculating. Faced with this extremely urgent situation, he could hardly be calmed down and think slowly, so he chose to use force to press for the answer.

However, the Shadow Devil still said nothing. At the moment, it had no power to fight back. It could only hide in the turbulent attacks. Seeing the situation become more and more unfavorable, it didn't mean to admit defeat, let alone confess.

"You b*stard! You b*stard!" Sui Xiong scolded it angrily, fiercely slamming tentacles, and finally seizing the opportunity to hit the body of Shadow Devil.

The red-black figure dodged lightly and turned into a transparent body. Normally it should be able to protect itself against ordinary physical attacks. However, under the swift attack of the hero, his hard work was completely useless. It heard only a tragic crack and a noticeably large cavity opened on its body. It was almost turned into a thin paper and broken in two pieces.

This attack apparently hit the Shadow Devil fiercely. It had kept quiet since it began to fight against Sui, but he became unable to keep silent and cried tragically.

The voice was extremely tragic. It was like many people, male, female, young and old, were being massacred, and all sorts of screams came together into a horrible voice.

"Speak! Who sent you here!" Sui Xiong waved his tentacles in all directions and turned them into a wall of iron and copper that surrounded Shadow Devil, "If you don't speak, I will kill you!"

The red-black figure trembled violently, likely afraid, but this trembling was quickly gone. Its body shivered, and a strange light glowed.

Sui Xiong clearly felt that there was an astonishing amount of energy in its body.

"Shoot!" He instantly realized what was going on and hurried back, but it still was a step later.

A crashing sound accompanied the shock of everything. The shock waves caused by the intense explosion even rushed above the clouds, shook the clouds in the sky and shattered them into pieces of misty smoke.

This evil that had done countless evils in the human world actually chose to self-destruct!

On the other side, the battle had now come to an end.

Under the joint attack of Sui Xiong and Heimsarah, Timsar was in distressed circumstances. Perhaps according to its original plan, it would send the old opponent into the prepared trap to kill Heimsarah and gain success. However, because of Sui Xiong's intervention, mistakes took place in the transmission and the situation was completely reversed.

It certainly tried to escape, but how could Heimsarah let it go! It immediately rushed towards it and wrapped it firmly. Their power came from the same source, so they were interdependent but also mutually restrained. When Heimsarah wrapped it, it was immediately locked where it was, and it couldn't walk away.

Sui Xiong's attack made its situation even worse, and it was more embarrassed since before it could have endured for a long period of time.

Unlike Heimsarah, who was somewhat dull, Sui Xiong was very flexible. He was able to move quickly in the sea, allowing him to quickly find the right position and launch a violent attack on it even if Timsar had changed the place of its core.

If it was only a one-on-one fight, then Timsar could deal with Sui's attack. But now almost all of its power had been hampered by Heimsarah. All it could do was to shift its central core to cover areas and protect it as much as possible.

But how could Sui Xiong give it that chance? The chilling torrents of the road were almost connected to one another. The sequel was like a sharp knife, constantly tearing its negative energy and huge body and taking it directly to hide it.

It seemed that it wouldn't take long before Timsar, the devil who had plagued the area for many years, saw its end.

So although it had always brought fear to others, it finally felt the taste of fear.

In the body full of bones and turbid stream, the core of the supernatural power hidden in the deepest place trembled violently, sending its message towards a certain existence.

In the next moment, the sea growled.

The surface of the sea began to shake as if it was boiling. Even the distant maritime forces that were reorganizing their troops to attack the Garth Port were affected, and the bodies of men and horses littered the ground.

With this vibration and roar, a wild laughter echoed in the sea.

"Sarament, you finally surrendered to me!"

The laughter wasn't concrete. It was just an idea. The joyful emotions of the laughter were even more vivid. Along with this, there was chilling majesty coming in that overshadowed everything in the sea.

"Goddess of Ocean?!"

Chapter 117: Chapter 117

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

As Timsar was about to fail and die, the Goddess of Ocean suddenly appeared. Her power was extremely strong, and it was greatly strengthened on this vast sea. Neither Sui Xiong nor Heimsarah wanted to offend her, so they stopped the attack.

The Goddess of Ocean could, of course, perceive their reaction and laughed a few times before turning into a flash of light, and then into a huge element of water before them.

This was where the strength of the God of Nature lay. They did not need to rely on believers or altars, and they could freely descend their incarnations by relying on the source of their priesthood. For example, if the Goddess of Ocean was in the sea, she could lower her incarnation. Although the consumption would be greater than the average method, flexibility might be beyond a god of belief.

However, Sui Xiong took a closer look and saw that this incarnation actually had a lot of flaws. Not only did it bear less power than the incarnation of lowering it by belief, but also it was much closer to the original body. In other words, although the power of this incarnation was not strong, the burden on the Goddess of Ocean was very large. It was simply a synonym for "expensive but not many benefits" and "more effort and fewer results." It could be seen that the Goddess of Ocean seemed to have the dual advantages of a natural god and a god of belief at the same time, but in fact, it also had the disadvantages of both. Perhaps, the disadvantages were even greater than the advantages.

The Goddess of Ocean did not know what Sui Xiong was thinking. She slightly swept her eyes across the situation in front of her. The huge water element sent out an unpleasant cold snort and asked, "Sarament, what happened to you?"

"There! Is! No! Sarament! Here!" Heimsarah stirred up a spray.

The Goddess of Ocean ignored it and continued to ask Timsar, "Shouldn't you be concentrating on transforming your own strength? I remember I have taught you the means for transforming those souls that were bound by you into a force of faith. Why don't you concentrate on transforming them instead of fighting desperately with this idiot? And you are being beaten in such an awkward way…"

Timsar's body shook slightly, sending out a message.

It was on the vast sea, and a strange force suddenly provoked it. So it angrily launched an attack, and after a few easy battles, it defeated the source of that power. As a result, it leaked its whereabouts, and it was found by Heimsarah.

The giant water element of the Goddess of Ocean was silent and seemed to be thinking. Then she asked, "Why didn't you run away by using the magical formation that I have arranged for you? If you had used that magic formation, you could have escaped directly to the capital of the Kraken Empire!"

The Kraken Empire was a large country established by the believers of this goddess. It was not on the main plane, but was completely occupied a small plane full of water elements.

If the formation of transmission had been successfully operated and it had transferred Sui Xiong, Heimsarah, and Timsar there, they would have been faced with the power of the entire Kraken Empire. It would not have been an easy task to escape even if they wanted to.

Timsar trembled and transmitted his ideas. This time he said that he didn't know anything and couldn't understand why the magic formation had not worked.

"Forget it." The Goddess of Ocean was too lazy to study it. "Anyway, according to the agreement, if you ask me for help, you must regard me as the Lord. What else do you have to say about this?"

Timsar trembled and conveyed his surrender.

The Goddess of Ocean laughed, waved her hand and changed a fast flow of water into a ring, which covered Heimsarah's head. "It's rare that I descend, and I would be merciful and help you to eliminate this unstable factor. If you absorb this one, you can restore yourself better…"

Her laughter came to an abrupt end and she turned her head in exasperation to stare at Sui Xiong who was standing in front of Heimsarah and had crushed the ring with an ice blue magic.

"I have a question." Sui Xiong saw that she finally turned around and hurriedly asked, "Heimsarah and Timsar were split from Sarament, and Heimsarah is even stronger in terms of power, but why do you think that Timsar is Sarament?"

The incarnation of the Goddess of Ocean did not turn furious when provoked like she did in the legend. Instead, she looked at Sui Xiong with interest, as if she was seeing a rare animal. She looked at him up and down.

She did not answer Sui Xiong's question, but she clicked her tongue and exclaimed for a moment. Then she answered without really answering the question, "A mix of magic and supernatural power… I didn't expect to meet a natural god – come and be my subordinate, I will allow you to add a sentence to the end of my prayer."

Sui Xiong secretly disdained her in his mind. He laughed and dodged this topic.

The Goddess of Ocean sounded arrogant, but she did things in a really stingy way. In order to enroll subordinate gods, the gods generally had to separate their beliefs and even separate the holy mission they controlled to show their support. The Goddess of Ocean was very "generous" because she mentioned no conditions and just said that she would let believers mention Sui's name when they prayed to her and in this way, she wanted to make him a god of hers.

Mentioning Sui Xiong when believers were praying seemed to show intimacy at first sight. In fact, he could not even share her faith. The Goddess of Ocean clearly did not have an impression of him and estimated that he was a rookie who just succeeded in being apotheosized. She wanted to take advantage of the information imbalance between then and get something for nothing.

So he didn't respond to this topic at all. Instead, he used his mind and sent his information out.

"The God of Aristocracy? The God of Conspiracies?" The Goddess of Ocean was dumbfounded and turned to see Timsar, "How does this matter again relate to them?"

Timsar was confused and did not understand what was going on.

But it was still somewhat impressed by the God of Aristocracy, as previously, the force that provoked it seemed to come from the God of Aristocracy.

Sui Xiong frowned secretly and felt that there seemed to be a huge hidden conspiracy.

The priest of the God of Aristocracy had made trouble and intimidated Timsar. As a result, he killed all the people on the boat. Sean had cooperated with him, so it was estimated that he was in a relationship of assistance and it was not known what benefits he had gained. Anyway, what role could the God of Conspiracy play here?

…Was it possible that the whereabouts of Timsar were revealed by the God of Conspiracy?

He spoke his own guesses. Timsar shivered violently and seemed very shocked. The Goddess of Ocean only giggled and did not care much.

For demigods or weaker gods, the sinister, deceitful and trouble-making God of Conspiracy was an extremely dangerous element with whom none wanted to be associated with. But for the mighty god like the Goddess of Ocean, the God of Conspiracy was nothing more than someone who could only hide in the corner and shoot arrows secretly, so he wasn't threatening.

The strength was different, so the confidence was also very different.

"Well, this matter should be finished." The Goddess of Ocean looked a little impatient and said coldly, "It's time to go."

Saying this, she reached out her hand and grabbed something, and the surrounding waters within dozens of miles slowly froze and turned into an amazingly giant hand. Looking at this situation, perhaps Timsar, Heimsarah and Sui Xiong would be killed altogether.

Sui Xiong secretly sighed and gathered the magic to confront the giant hand.

The Goddess of Ocean was quite powerful amongst all the gods. He really did not want to be an enemy of this powerful and dismal goddess.

However, there was no choice now!

Even if he would be a subordinate god, he couldn't go to her kingdom. Not to mention, he didn't want to be the subordinate god of the Goddess of Ocean!

In this main plane, the power that the Goddess of Ocean could descend was limited, but in her kingdom, the power that she could use was almost endless. At that time, whether Heimsarah, Timsar, or Sui Xiong would become meat on the chopping block would be handled by her at will.

Should I put my own life into the hands of others, and place my safety on the goodwill of others— who was a guy known for fierceness and chaos, who had the slightest bit of friendship with me, but at first sight appeared to have no goodwill.

Hey, was brother Xiong foolish!

A blue light flashed, and the strength of Sui Xiong, like a sharp blade, cut a huge wound on the giant hand made of seawater. Under the influence of this powerful force, the supernatural power that was made by frozen seawater was shaking and teetering and naturally had no ability to seize them.

The Goddess of Ocean was truly angry. She had always willingly killed everything from the sea. She had never allowed anyone to say half of the word "no," but Sui Xiong dared to disobey her. Was this a trivial thing?!

"Rebellious!" The huge water element shouted, with one hand turning into a fist. A deep blue light flased, surrounded by endless torrents and roars, and attacked Sui Xiong at an astonishing speed that the sea shouldn't have.

"Keke…" In a ruined village that had been turned into a wasteland, Sui Xiong coughed violently, and only felt pain in his body.

The self-explosion of the Shadow Devil just now greatly exceeded his expectations. Because of the close distance, almost all of the power of the explosion hit him. If not for his fast reaction and consumptive defense that was similar to that of the heat protection layer of rockets which alleviate the power of the explosion layer by layer, maybe the blow would have killed him seriously.

It should be known that it was a self-explosion of a demigod!

"This guy is a lunatic!" he exclaimed irritably. "Suddenly it came and attacked, and as we fought it self-destructed… Is there something wrong with his head?!"

However, he immediately felt something wrong and discovered that there was a trace of space fluctuations in the place where the Shadow Devil exploded.

This trace was very weak, almost to the point that it seemed to not exist. If it was not for him using supernatural power to search, he would have not found it.

He took a moment to think and suddenly guessed exactly what was happening. Actually, the Shadow Devil had divided its body into three parts. He exploded a part of it first, blasting his space blockade, and then he shifted the core to the shadow plane and exploded the rest to cover up the traces.

This set of measures might have been practiced and was smoothly performed. If Sui Xiong hadn't thought something was wrong and carefully checked the traces of the explosion, he might have been cheated by them.

"Abhorrent! He thinks he is fine after going to the shadow plane?" Sui Xiong sneered. He wanted to chase and kill it, but he had another idea and looked towards the southeast.

What the h*ll, how are bad things coming one after another!

He didn't think about it closely and roared. He used his supernatural strength to crack a gap in space. His huge body instantly turned into a blue light, went into the gap, and he appeared next to his avatar.

With a loud roar, his own body and avatar re-integrated, the momentum soared, and dozens of tentacles intertwined and turned into a huge fist. It hit back the Goddess of Ocean without any concession.

"You want to fight? I am here!"

Chapter 118: Chapter 118

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

Sui Xiong did not like to fight. Really, this must be emphasized.

If he could, he actually preferred to live a stable life where he could sunbathe, tell jokes, and hang out with his believers like a person who had no worry of clothing, food, ideals or pursuits. By dragging on, days would pass; by muddling along without any aim, his life would pass… Oh, his "lifetime" might be longer, but it did not matter, and he would do any of these things.

Although he was a person who traveled through space and had wonderful and powerful abilities, he never really thought about fighting against the mightiest existence. He had never thought of fighting against people in this world and being invincible. If it was not for the needs of his believers and friends, he would not even bother to establish the church, let alone a holy place.

To be honest, he was actually a person who was not very suitable as a "protagonist" because he lacked the idea of change and he could accommodate himself to extreme circumstances.

It was only because he was not a hero with aspirations, but an unimportant citizen who always focused on his own acre of land.

However, he did not make trouble, but things would provoke him.

For example, this time, it could be described as "when he sits in the house behind closed doors and a trouble comes from the heaven." First, it was the attack of the silly Shadow Devil which destroyed the temporary village of his followers, killed a large number of believers, and even one of the few core personnel, Satan, who had first followed him and contributed a lot in the construction of the church.

When he finally killed the crazy person and before he had time to rush to the shadow world and grab back the souls of Satan and other believers, the Goddess of Ocean was mad again and wanted to catch him in her Holy Kingdom. He didn't know in what way he would be killed.

Un-huh! This crazy woman thought she was Empress Dowager! Even if she was willing to be the h*llish Empress Dowager, brother Xiong was not interested in being her chief eunuch!

He roared angrily, and the fist of a giant jellyfish met the fist of the huge water element: infinitely powerful vs infinitely powerful.

The bottom of the sea was in trouble. The furious torrents almost took away all the things that could be rolled away. The sediments of the seabed were swept everywhere, and the vast sea surface was completely turned into a black-yellow turbid stream. In the turbid stream, four large figures faced each other, wanting to kill each other.

"Brother Heimsarah, this time we're going to fight side by side!"

"I will kill Timsar, then I will support you."

"Good!"

On the other side, the Goddess of Ocean also had some tactical considerations. She ordered Timsar to squash Heimsarah and would help kill Heimsarah after killing the conceited big jellyfish.

So in the fighting, two pairs of people fought against each other. Heimsarah fought desperately against Timsar, and Sui Xiong against the incarnation of the Goddess of Ocean.

Nothing fancy or of temptation was meant for this fight. The two sides directly exerted their full efforts. The four monsters were entangled. Angry currents and winds collided with shadows and undercurrents, while the giant jellyfish and the huge water element struggled.

In the dark and muddy waters, the battle between the two parties could not be clearly seen. The only thing that could be seen was that on the turbid sea surface that seemed to be boiling, the black-yellow turbid stream was continuously spreading. From time to time, a fierce roar erupted from the bottom of the sea and stirred up the sea water and made hill-like waves.

At the same time, the sky that was originally merely gloomy had been completely enveloped in dark clouds. It was black as if it was night. The turbulent winds, mingling with the tide, swept the land and sea and shook grasses and woods, which made people and animals stand unsteadily and made even intelligent animals anxious.

On the other side, the battle also gradually reached its climax.

The Goddess of Marsh was attached to Sean. By virtue of this body on which she had done countless amendments and could fully exert her strength, she fought smoothly. She used various kinds of devil vines made of poisonous fog and various horrible monsters, all made of supernatural power. She almost gave full play to her own ability.

On the other hand, the Goddess of Harvest, despite her anger and a lot of supernatural power that she descended, couldn't gain the upper hand against the Goddess of Marsh because, after all, the city owner Joseph's body was not very suitable for the God Descending Magic. In a short time, the Goddess of Marsh could use the channels formed by faith to continuously deliver supernatural power to fight neck and neck with the Goddess of Harvest, but she couldn't even partly gain the upper hand. Accompanied by Heli who was forcibly converted to a supernatural creature, and the survivors of various organizations, she launched a fierce attack. The Goddess of Harvest forced the Goddess of Marsh to retreat, and she also even killed her envoy, the giant monster of mucus.

Behind this brilliant record was the overdraft of the power that her church could use. After this wave of violent assault, Heli's soul gradually dissipated, and Joseph's body gradually collapsed. Instead, the Goddess of Marsh, after surviving a difficult time, had improved her strength a lot for unknown reasons. As the strengths of the two sides declined and improved, the Goddess of Harvest's side gradually became unable to withstand.

The people in the fierce battle did not know that just now, in the house of Sean, a brutal blood sacrifice had been held by the Church of the Goddess of Marsh who had had full control over this place. Sean's wife and two children were all sacrificed. With a group of carefully selected branches of Riley family, the blood flowed on the floor like a river, and voices of crying and screaming echoed in the house, making it almost like a h*ll.

As an evil god, the Goddess of Marsh fully exerted her own advantages of sacrificing. As for what was "offensive to God and reason," she didn't care because as an evil god she was the God and reason! Wasn't it natural for believers to sacrifice themselves for her and mortals to contribute to her?!

On the other hand, the Goddess of Harvest's advantage of "influence" as a good God had not been fully realized. According to this situation, she should have assembled a large number of believers to pray and provide emergency assistance to the gods. But the Goddess of Marsh committed horrible genocide as she started to attack. She killed almost all the devoted believers. Even so, she was not satisfied, and she reached an agreement with the Goddess of Ocean to urgently assemble the maritime races nearby to launch an invasion on Garth City, forcing residents to abandon and flee the city.

Did the fleeing people have time to gather and pray together? Of course not.

So the Goddess of Harvest could only rely on the constant supply of strength from her own side of the holy kingdom to support this side of the battle. However, although her power was strong, the passage for the transmission of power was not strong enough, and it was gradually failing.

Under such circumstances, a discerning person would know at first glance that the Goddess of Harvest was almost doomed to fail.

However, apart from the group of people in the square, there was no one who was concerned about the battle between the two gods. Everyone's attention had been drawn to the brutal war that erupted in the port.

Unlike the previous tentative attack, this time the maritime race really used its strength. Numerous murlocs came on and rushed forward by stepping on the bodies of their own race. By killing a large number of murlocs as sacrifices at the rear, the priests of murloc displayed a collective fury magic. Each murloc on the front had a red glow in the eyes. Even if they faced the sword, they were fearless and often rushed forward and desperately, hugged the weapons while their bodies had been stabbed through, fighting for an opportunity to attack for companions.

Faced with this kind of attack, the Garth Maritime Defence Forces and adventurers suddenly felt a great deal of pressure and suffered heavy casualties. If it had not been for the brave Ray who wielded his sword alone, rolled up a bloody storm, and forcibly withstood the murlocs' violent offense with his personal bravery, perhaps the entire front woukd have already collapsed.

But even so, their situation was at stake. From time to time, some people were thrown down by the murlocs, and then a group of murlocs in all directions rushed and devoured them using weapons, claws and even teeth. They left only a bloody body following a short scream.

The temporary commander of the Garth Maritime Defence Forces was an old sergeant with half a head of white hair. He was thrown by a group of murlocs and could no longer stand up.

"Get out of the way!" Ray roared, and the longsword seemed to blaze a white light as if it was burning. This was a concrete embodiment of his fighting spirit which only the strongmen who entered the legendary realm could display it.

In the midst of the fierce battle, unconsciously, he had gone a little further and could almost completely cross the threshold and step into the realm he had always dreamed of.

However, he did not notice at all. His spirit had been completely fixed on the fierce battle at the moment, and all his thoughts were about killing. He considered nothing else.

Murlocs? Kill them!

Murlocs Warriors? Kill them!

Murlocs priests? Kill them!

Chiefs of the murlocs' tribe? Kill them!

A murloc… Hey, this was not a murloc, but a Kraken who used magic to change itself into a murlocs' look.

Kill it, too!

The sword flashed, and he was burning with the spirit of fighting. He was like Mars who galloped on the battlefield, with no enemy in front of him.

Even those strongmen of the maritime race who disguised themselves as murlocs were equally vulnerable in front of him, not to mention all kinds of murlocs.

Gradually, his entire body seemed to be burning up. The light continued to condense on him, and even more, a strange breeze blew on the bloody battlefield in all directions.

Bong! A bell rang and echoed in the ancient shrine.

This temple, at the center of the continent, was worshiped in by the royal family of the oldest ancient country.

Since the bloody night fifteen years ago, the originally bustling temple had become deserted. As it had been deserted these years, the old chief priest was even older. In recent years, he had shown senility, and it seemed that there was not much time left for him.

Originally, he sat quietly in the hall, silently reciting the mantras and praying to the god he believed. Hearing the bell at the moment, suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up.

Turning around, he saw an old bell hung on the side wall that was ringing without the wind blowing it, and a strange pattern gradually emerged on it.

This was actually not a pattern. It was a word that only the priests knew. It was the words of the ancient civilization that had long since passed away. It was left by their gods to symbolize the past glory of the great kingdom.

"Le… on…" the old priest read out the word hesitantly and tried to remember which strongman of the current royal family this person was.

After a moment, he shook his head, a little sad.

Because of the holocaust, the offspring of Eagle had been declining in recent years and there were not many presentable strongmen of them. After many thoughts, he couldn't think of anyone named Leon who could touch the line and was about to cross the limit of mortals.

Maybe this person was not among the active ones in recent years, but one of the older generations that were living in seclusion?

He thought again.

Suddenly, he shivered, and his eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

He began to run at an amazing pace, showing absolutely no senility.

A moment later, he came to the room that stored classics, started a magic formation, and entered a secret room.

This place was the real top secret of this shrine and only the chief priests of the past generations could know of it from the gods in prayer. Chief priests of every generation must keep the secret until death, and couldn't tell anyone else.

Inside the secret room was a dark void, and tiny lamps floating like little stars were encircling him.

There used to be a lot of sparks that made this place look like a starry sky. At the moment, there were only a few rays of light. Even one who was dim-sighted due to old age could count the numbers clearly at a glance.

But he did not pay attention to the lights in front of him but looked to the corner.

In a dark corner, a small light was peacefully shining.

The old man reached out his hand nervously and touched the lamp with magic.

The lights became bigger and showed a proud and upright face full of vigor.

"It's really you!"

The old man smiled silently with his face full of gratification.

Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

Ray did not notice what had actually happened. He was now completely trapped in the fighting frenzy. At first glance, he would wield his sword to stab at whoever had scales, whether they were green, blue or red.

He did not wield his sword amazingly or particularly fast. Even the force of the sword was not so great, but the intimidation emanating from him made everyone who faced him fall in turmoil. They did not want to spare any effort to fight, but their actions would always be a bit slower. Often when they reacted, they had been lethally hit and killed by Ray's sword. They waved weapons in vain; they could not catch up to Ray who had left.

For a moment, the battlefield seemed to have fallen into stagnation.

A long time passed, suddenly a loud noise was heard: a magic cannon that was continuously shooting finally exploded because it overheated.

From the dark clouds that were low to the ground, rain poured down as if it was following the order given by this loud noise. Suddenly the world became dark. The torrential rain accompanied the raging winds, and rolling waves impacted the port and struck the maritime race's army.

In front of this force of the world, the maritime race finally retreated, returning to the sea to reorganize the troops, which gave the defenders a chance to breathe.

"How many people are still alive?" Ray had regained calmness, looking around and shouting, "Respond if you are alive!"

"Respond."

Ray was amused and looked toward the voice, but it was an adventurer. He was wearing a leather armor, holding a thin sword in his hand, and some small decorations on his clothes. Obviously, he was a bard.

It was no wonder that he was so humorous, and only those people who engraved humor into their soul would be able to make jokes at this time.

There were also many people who were making noise. Although most of them were exhausted and many people were seriously injured, there were still some people left.

The luckiest one was a savage who fell down due to exhaustion. He showed resourcefulness in an emergency and grabbed the bodies of two murlocs to cover himself, and he deceived the murlocs. Although he was suffocated by the bloody smells, he was wonderfully unscathed. Oh, excluding the wounds that he had suffered in the previous battles.

Ray smiled, greeted them one by one, encouraged them and comforted them. For those who were really unlikely to be saved, he would also take on the role of pastor and pray for them so that they could die smiling.

In his body, the brilliance worn away by years of suffering was reviving. At the moment, he did not look like a knight at all, but a king who was visiting the barracks after a great war.

This was the education he received before, and it was an instinct almost inscribed in the veins. Although these days, it had not been used because he had deliberately forgotten it. This time it had emerged again as natural as breathing.

But when he walked in front of the dying Rank, he no longer had the noble magnanimity of a king. Sadness filled his heart and tears overflowed from his eyes.

"Rank… why did you come back!" He saw at a glance that the student's injury was irreversible. His fate was unimaginable unless His Majesty Void Mask could come back or Steele could appear immediately.

But that was impossible. The message that came from His Majesty Void Mask was that he was fighting against the Goddess of Ocean, who was the patron of the maritime race, and the battles on the other side were far more important than theirs. And in the face of that woman tyrant who was also particularly powerful among the gods, even His Majesty couldn't spare any more efforts. This could be inferred from the particularly urgent and short words he used when he contacted Ray.

Steele was even less likely to return. She was helping Liv to protect the refugees so that they could escape. What was the goal that these men and women were fighting for? It was none other than shielding the slow-moving refugees so that they could escape! It was simply putting the cart before the horse to ask Steele to come back!

But at this moment, he was really shaken, and he wanted to pray to His Majesty or desperately seek help from Steele.

This was a student who he painstakingly cultivated! He wanted this successor to inherit his abilities!

Indeed, Rank's talent was not good, and could not be compared with the ingenious Ray, but this child had a very good attitude, practiced very hard, and made fast progress, so he could improve himself step by step. No matter how demanding a teacher was, he could not be dissatisfied with Rank.

Seeing Rank exhausted after hard training, but his eyes full of confidence and hope, Ray remembered himself many years ago and the calmness and beauty that had long since passed away.

Although he hadn't realized it yet, in his mind, Rank was not only a student but he had become like a child to Ray!

But now, Rank was dying.

Rank was dying…

Rank was dying!

Ray kneeled beside Rank who was lying in a pool of blood. He held his fists tightly, clenched his teeth and forced himself to speak in a hard and cold voice. Because if he did not do this, he feared that he could not help crying.

He was a strong man. He was once severely poisoned and seriously wounded, and also had lain in a pile of corpses watching his parents and brothers rot slowly. After that, he thought that his tears had already dried up. At the moment, he could not help but shed tears.

"Silly kid! Why did you come back!"

His tears fell on Rank's face and he woke the dying Rank. The pale-faced juvenile smiled and looked at his teacher with tears on his face.

"Teacher… Am I… like a… knight…?" he asked intermittently.

Ray nodded forcefully, "Yes! You are the best knight!"

"I… lived… not like … a knight," Rank could hardly breathe and his voice was so low that Ray had to concentrate to hear what Rank said, "at least… I will die… like a… knight…"

"Yeah!" Ray pressed his lips tightly and nodded heavily. Because of his grief, he couldn't speak again. He could only use one syllable to express his approval of his disciple.

Rank gasped a few times and his voice got lower and lower, "Teacher… Thanks…"

His last words stopped there, and he had not been able to finish his words of thank for his teacher.

Ray quietly kneeled beside him, choked with sobs.

The strongman, who was awe-inspiring and frightened the maritime race, now was crying like a child.

In the world that mortals could not see, a brawny man wearing ragged clothes and carrying a giant battle ax stood beside him. This brawny man's hair stood on end, as if it was furious, and his face was full of a heroic spirit intertwined with fierceness, anger, and bravery. Rank, who had just died, was now kneeling to the brawny man and worshipping him admiringly.

"Great Knight of Anger, may your glory shine upon all the worlds!"

The heroic brawny was the incarnation of the God of Justice. He felt that there was evil raging here. He happened to not be far away, so he rushed over, but he just encountered Rank's death.

"Boy. You did a good job," he smiled and raised Rank up with a huge palm. "I wanted to recruit you as my follower, but maybe you want to go to the Lonely Guardian, right?"

Rank laughed, "If His Majesty is willing to receive me, I am certainly happy to go to his kingdom."

"He will come to fetch you. You are a good knight!"

As they spoke, a light that only the gods and the soul could see fell and turned into a beautiful woman who combined charm and virginity. She wore an exquisite silver-white skirt and a feathered helmet.

This was the envoy of the God of Knights, a Holy Spirit condensed by the soft ideas of those people who began to fight to protect the humanity since the age of ignorance and finally died without regret. She was called "Valkyrie."

The Valkyrie first bowed to the God of Justice and reached out to Rank with her hand.

"In order to guard the warriors who died innocently in battles, your behavior deserves the name of knight. Please come with me. His Majesty and the souls of your predecessors are waiting for you."

Rank was overjoyed, saluted the God of Justice, and was about to hurriedly leave. But he immediately thought of something and looked to his teacher who was ignorantly crying in the wind and rain.

"My teacher…" he hesitated and looked at the Valkyrie who was responsible for fetching and leading heroic spirits. There was a look of inquiry in his eyes.

The envoy of the God of Knights looked at Ray and with regret in his eyes that could judge people's lifetime merits and demerits.

"He has committed serious sins and even if he makes atonement, he cannot be able to enter His Majesty's temple," she said. "This is the rule made by the God of Light, and His Majesty must also obey it."

"Oh! So many rules you have!" The God of Justice shook his head in disdain, "Just don't worry, kid, if the god of your church doesn't accept him, I will accept him! He is a great man who went into darkness, came out of the darkness, and fights for justice till the end, so he suits my church!"

Rank laughed with relief and disappeared without a trace with the Valkyrie by stepping into the beam of light.

The God of Justice laughed a few times, took the huge battle ax off from his shoulders, and rubbed the ax blade with his palms, which ejected countless golden-red sparks.

He looked at the sky, stared through a cloud of darkness and looked into the eyes of a large figure.

"Taklawur, you really can't learn from past lessons! You're helping Vorpocus to make trouble. Do I need to prune and trim your claws?"

A sound of thunder came from the clouds, and a pair of eyes flashing with infinite electricity looked back into his.

"Yorgaardman, you are really too nosy!"

The two powerful gods confronted each other without concession, and a battle was imminent.

At this time, the battle between the other two groups of gods was becoming more and more intense.

The result of the battle between the Goddess of Marsh and the Goddess of Harvest was already quite clear. The momentum-lacking Goddess of Harvest, after the complete collapse of the soul of Heli, could no longer sustain the situation of the battle and was constantly losing ground. For all the anger she had and the roars she uttered, she couldn't change the situation.

The Goddess of Marsh had even been able to free her hands and shoot poisonous arrows that killed those mortals who were bold enough to be involved in the battle between goddesses. She waved her hand, and a mass of dark-green poisonous fog was condensed into ten light arrows whistling away.

After a few waves of attacks, there were only two gods in the square.

"Admit that your misfortune is predetermined by God!" said the Goddess of Marsh as Sean laughed hideously. "Let me devour your supernatural power, and take possession of your most important place of faith. You, as an incompetent guy, have been at this high position for a long time. It's time for you to leave!"

"…You really think of yourself as a great man?!" Sui Xiong shouted. His mountain-like body stirred up waves and his tentacles, which were thick enough for horses to gallop on, fluttered. He was fighting fiercely against the super-heavy water element that was slightly more massive than him.

Although he was slightly disadvantaged in strength, his fierce fighting spirit and strong body effectively compensated for the lack of strength. More importantly, this jellyfish's body was only a set of armor for him. He didn't care about it being destroyed. He was not very scared of dying there either.

People were mortal. Brother Xiong had traveled through space, so he didn't fear death.

With the determination of not fearing death, he fought in a crazy way, making him frightening and awesome.

In contrast, the incarnation of the Goddess of Ocean was powerful but inferior to him in terms of fighting spirit. Therefore, not only was she not able to have an advantage, but it seemed that she was a bit passive.

This made the goddess, known as the "woman tyrant on the sea," very angry. She fought even more fiercely, but she was never able to overpower Sui Xiong who was most awesome and didn't fear death.

After all, this battle was nothing more than a saying:

"He who is brave wins the battle."

Chapter 120: Chapter 120

The storm was getting stronger and stronger.

The maritime forces tried to reorganize the formation. Thanks to a large number of casters in their group, the priests of the Goddess of Ocean who had a lot of experience in stabilizing the waves, gradually stabilized the formation, reorganized the troops, and launched attacks again.

This time, the attack on the Port of Garth defense base was not launched by the weak murlocs, but all kinds of Krakens.

For example, Medusa with snake-shaped hair; Siren with a human's head and a bird's body; a water demon covered with seaweed and barnacles, and sea elements like small whirlpools… All kinds of Krakens that normally appeared only in legends swarmed towards them, changed into the horrible nightmares of sailors, and rushed toward the exhausted defenders.

These were not ordinary monsters. All of them needed to be carefully handled by senior adventurers. Even if the senior adventurers were in good condition, they couldn't be sure that they would win. At this moment, they rushed towards the adventurers in groups as if to kill them!

"Ah, this time I will really be killed," The bard said with a smile. "I don't know if the Boy of Celebration will approve this way to die."

He cleared his throat and sang to the air, "Although I am a fool, I die for protecting mankind. Boy of Celebration, do not reject me."

The Boy of Ceremony was the God of Joy and Ceremony, a god who devoted himself to chasing joy regardless of time, place, and reason. He usually liked to become a bard and sing at ceremonies.

As the bard was so happy and was still singing and smiling when he was about to die, he surely deserved the title of the believer of the careless god!

With his blessings, all the nervous people were relaxed, and even the sad Ray recovered and turned calm with a smile on his face.

Inspired by him, many people imitated him and prayed to the gods they believed in. Some people who had not been sure about their beliefs were sullen and did not know what to do.

They never thought about whom to believe in on normal days. They just lived carelessly. At the moment, when they were about to die, they would go to hell if they didn't attach themselves to big gods. They might have to go to hell, and so they suddenly panicked.

"It is still not too late for us to believe in a god?" asked the savage, who was a top performer.

Ray walked over and patted his thick and broad shoulders, "Rest assured, a warrior who dies guarding innocent people will always be taken in by kind-hearted gods."

"Ha! I will rest assured if you say so." The savage nodded, suddenly realized and shouted, "I'm not ready to die yet!"

The loud laughter joined together and became even more intense than the sound of the rain and sea and the roar of the maritime race.

After a moment, a great war was again stirred up.

This time, the battle was more tragic than before. In the face of the powerful elite of the maritime race, the defenders who had been exhausted in the previous battle could not resist them. Most of them fell off almost after they began to fight. There were only a few masters who could barely hold on.

Ray was still playing the role of a mainstay. Even though his opponents were stronger than the previous murloc army, he was still invincible, killing every one of the enemies with his sword. And the strength he demonstrated this time was more exaggerated than it had been.

Medusa's petrifying stare was ineffective; the seductive song of Siren was ineffective; the seaweed that water demons used to wrap people was still ineffective. Only the sea elements that held on by using no tricks and relying on their great momentum and huge strength caused a little bit of an obstacle to him and made his swift pace stagnate.

The commander of the maritime race quickly noticed this, and he gathered a large number of elite sea elements and encircled him.

These sea elements were obviously among the elites of the maritime race, which could be judged from the appearance. The ordinary sea elements were blue, about the height of two people combined, with a whirlpool-like trunk in which there was a vicious face. The sea elements that were sent to encircle Ray were dark blue and the shortest one was as tall as three people combined. The torrents swirled around them and roared so that even people trembled.

A person hit by ordinary sea elements might spit out blood and collapse, but when hit by the elite sea elements, one would be fragmented and die, leaving behind an incomplete corpse.

Ray noticed this situation and tried to break through. However, the number of enemies was too large. No matter what direction he rushed out in, he saw more enemies encircling him…

After a while, he killed a number of particularly powerful sea elements, and broke through a heavy siege, but saw that the fighting was almost over. On the entire battlefield, he was the only one left and was completely encircled by the army of the maritime race.

Laughing came from afar from the commanders of the maritime race. They used an ambiguous language to clamor and yell and did their best to mock the warrior who had fought to the end.

"Now, only you are left!"

Ray shook his head without fear or despair. Instead, he was somewhat relieved.

"It seems… that my last moment has finally come…"

He sighed with some regret. His comrades had all collapsed. The broad road at this moment was completely defenseless and he could not defend it alone.

Dying while fighting was not terrible, but it was really regrettable that the original goal could not be achieved.

How wonderful would it have been if I could defend this place for a while!

At this moment, he heard a series of hoarse roars of rage from the top of his head.

"Long live Garth City!"

Along with the roars, towers on both sides of the road collapsed one after another, and gravel flew all over the sky.

At the beginning of the construction of these towers, ambushes had been laid. At crucial moments, the detonation of the magic formation could destroy all of them and form a huge pile of gravel to cut off the road.

According to the design, there should still be follow-ups. Even if the enemy removed the gravel pile, one could further detonate the deeper level of the magic formation and bombard most of the Garth Port so as to seriously hit the enemy. However, because of the absence of the city owner, Joseph, who was able to control the magic formation, Chief Priest Heli, Mr. Sean, and the commander of sea defence Silarui, a strongman of the collateral branch of the Riley family with legendary strength, the ultimate arrangement couldn't be started, which was a pity.

But now it was enough. Seeing that the counter-attack had failed and the invading maritime forces were about to drive straight in, the mages who were stationed in the tower negotiated before they used the trick of Destroying Indiscriminately to destroy the tower, so as to die with the enemy.

They were either members of the Riley family or orphans adopted by the Riley family at a young age, so they were loyal to the Riley family and Garth City. They were also willing to abandon their lives.

Along with an earth-shattering explosion, the expensive towers collapsed one after another, not only killing a large number of the elite maritime race but also completely blocking the road from the port area to the inner and outer cities.

Looking at the mountains of gravel, the commanding officers of the maritime race were mad. The maritime race was neither good at climbing mountains, nor were they good at working on land. It was unknown how much time and effort it would take to clear the barriers on the road.

By that time, it would also be unknown how far the terrible land creatures would have escaped!

However, they soon discovered that they had expected things to be too smooth.

In fact, they simply could not start working now because Ray had launched an attack.

When towers collapsed and countless gravel fell from the sky, Ray thought that his life would end there. But for unknown reasons, even after all the dust landed on the ground, not a single piece of gravel had fallen on him.

"I really have good luck!" He was dumbfounded for a moment and couldn't help laughing, "In this case, I can continue fighting!"

Saying that, he raised his long sword like a tiger about to go down a mountain and rushed to the soldiers of the marine race who were astonished by explosions and collapses.

Now he didn't need to consider the question of whether he could defend the road alone. It was just a matter of concentrating on fighting!

His sword flashed, and he was full of fighting spirit.

The elite soldiers of the marine race fell under his sword, but more came up.

"He's just alone! We must form a pile to kill him!" There was a strange voice yelling, but Ray ignored it.

As the high-intensity battle continued, he clearly felt his physical strength was declining.

Recalling carefully, he found it seemed that the fighting had been going on for a long time…

But he smiled a bit and put aside all those ideas and continued to focus on fighting.

Or, he concentrated on killing the enemies.

It didn't matter who came up, whether they were Medusa, Siren, water demons, sea elements, or something else. He just needed to kill them.

His comrades had all collapsed. All those active at the moment were all enemies!

"This kind of battle is really good!" he couldn't help but smile, "I don't need to care about how much strength I should use to hit them or about the safety of my companions. I have no worries or scruples. I can just concentrate on killing…"

"Maybe… this is the battle I've been waiting for…"

A sea elf that was much taller than the elves on the land appeared and used a variant elven language to shout "Fight to the death!" and the like. It wielded a sharp machete as if it wanted to have duel him.

Ray sneered and gently turned to change the direction of his momentum of assault. He passed by the sea elf, and, as if he was juggling, he stroked the sword over its eyebrows and cut half of its head together with what it was about to say.

A tall and mighty dragon man rushed in. With a snake-like lower body, a human-like upper body and a dragon's head, he was a strange creature of a famous and powerful race in the sea. His eight arms proved that he was a first-class strongman of his race, at least a prince. At this moment, his eight sturdy arms were each holding a big knife, and the flashing light was like a whirlwind.

Ray looked at it faintly, and he passed through a multitude of swords like a ghost. His longsword simply found a gap in the blade that appeared to have no gap and cut off the throat of the maritime warrior.

A snake monster that was far more glamorous and charming than the usual Medusa intended to use her bow and arrows to kill Ray at a short distance. The snake hair on top of her head fluttered around, and even the sea race cautiously evaded it because they dared not come close enough to be bitten by the snakes.

Ray did not give her a chance to shoot. He kicked a weapon on the ground and kicked it away; it shot her like an arrow. The poisonous snake lied down weakly; the whereabouts of her poisonous arrows remained unknown.

A sea elf, as huge as a hill, roared and rushed towards him, trying to crush him with its huge body. Wherever it passed, there was utter confusion. If the sea race evaded it even a little later, they would have been mercilessly crushed and killed.

Ray snorted, pointed the long sword straight ahead, rushed forward, and passed through the elf with his sword, leaving a huge hole on its body. The giant monster that had been rushing at a high-speed suddenly stumbled and fell into a pile of maritime race soldiers. An unknown number of soldiers were killed by it. It collapsed and never rose again.

He laughed, held his sword, looked at his enemies with disdain, and asked coldly, "Who else wants to court death?"

There was a silence and no one dared respond.

Chapter 121: Chapter 121

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

When Ray suddenly became powerful, the soldiers of the sea race were too shocked to speak. The commanders of the race were stunned as well, and couldn't believe their eyes.

The strong mermen were all famous fighters in the surrounding sea. They could frighten people in an area simply by stomping their feet. They had already killed countless strong men. These mermen meant to flaunt their prowess in battle; but before they managed to make a move, Ray, who was only a human, killed them in one shot.

Some commanders who had better powers of observation were very surprised. They didn't understand how, even after a long battle, Ray didn't tire, and instead become stronger. He was not as powerful before; how was this possible?

Ray was sweeping the battlefield, killing every merman that was in his way, as if he were the only one there. The dragon man in charge of leading the fight was desperate, and felt a chill as if he had drunk a bottle of icy water on a cold winter day. At that moment, lightning stuck the sky and the sound of thunder echoed. The dragon man came up with an idea.

"Throw the spears! Throw the spears! Shoot him to death!"

At this command, hundreds of dragon men gathered, every one of them with a few spears in their hands. The sea race never cared about accidentally injuring their own. Without warning their peers on the front line, they began launching the spears towards the bustling battlefield. The sound of the spears flying across the sky was as loud as a fiercely blowing wind.

Ray was alerted by this sound, and turned to see countless spears hurtling toward him. He didn't have time to think. He immediately put his sword back into his sheath, and caught two members of the sea race with both of his hands. Then, throwing them towards the sky, he made them his shields.

The spears fell to the ground like pouring rain.

Then, the heavy dead bodies of the two mermen fell on Ray and blocked his line of sight. He knew this would happen, but still, the weight of them knocked him back on the ground. Soon the bustling battlefield became silent. All the brave mermen on the front lines—no matter their age or identity—were killed.

"Wait a minute! Why did you suddenly order the soldiers to throw spears!" The merman commander of high rank shouted. "My sons are among them!"

"You have more than four hundred sons. So what if you lose one or two of them?" The principle priest said coldly.

"Then why don't you shoot your sons to death!"

"My sons have all died," the dragon man said. "Even my grandsons are gone."

Seeing the priest's face, whose scales had begun to rot, the merman commander was furious. He desperately wanted to eat the priest alive with the sharp teeth he had long been proud of.

A commander who was a member of the Medusa race came to mediate. "Stop quarreling," he said. "We have managed to kill that human, which is good. To protect our king's honor, some sacrifices are necessary."

Suddenly, another commander shouted, "My gosh! That man is still alive!"

All the commanders turned to find Ray pushing away the two dead bodies on top of him. He stood up.

He was intact!

"My gosh…" a commander said. "This guy really is a monster!"

"What should we do?" the merman commander said, grabbing the principle priest. "Can't you do something about this?!"

The principle priest was stunned, and made his decision. He ordered the dragon men to continue to throwing spears at Ray. "Throw more spears!" he shouted. "I don't think he can survive this time!"

Hearing this order, the dragon men continued throwing spears, and once again, the spears flew toward Ray like rain. This time Ray just piled up a few big bodies of the sea race and crawled under them. Countless spears fell on the ground next to Ray. The bodies covered in spears became like a hedgehog, and the area around him like a forest of spears.

"Isn't he dead yet?" the merman commander murmured.

"He isn't," the sea element commander said in a very low voice, after he observed the battlefield with his spiritual sensing. "Damn!"

"Then what should we do?" said a member of the sea race.

Everyone looked at the dragon man principle.

The whole sea race could not even defeat a human. This was disconcerting. The principle priest was a bit bewildered and could not come up with any ideas, since the enemy couldn't be killed by siege or spear. It was still thundering, and at last he came up with something.

"Use magic spells then!" he said. "Get all the spellcasters together and bombard that human with magic spells! I know these spellcasters like to throw fireballs at things. Let them throw, then. No matter if it's a fire ball, an ice ball, a thunder ball or a poison ball! Just blow him up, as well as the land he stands on!"

"This sounds good!" said a member of the sea race.

"Let's do it then!" said another.

All the spellcasters of different races gathered together and marched forward in disorder, under the protection of the elite army that was equipped with the long spears. When they got closer to Ray, these spellcasters that all came from peculiar family backgrounds began brandishing their wands and casting the most devastating spells they could.

The light balls were flying toward Ray one after another. The red ones were the burning fire balls, the white ones the ice explosion spells, the dark green ones the poison erosion spells, the light green ones the sound explosion spells, the blue ones the thunder explosion bombs… It was as if they were holding a presentation of all the energy spells.

Meanwhile, this was all futile! Although Ray was hiding beneath the bodies, he had been carefully watching his surroundings. When he knew where the spellcasters were, he immediately jumped out from the pile of dead bodies and rushed into the crowd of the spellcasters. Many were killed.

Although these spellcasters could cause severe destruction, when it came to the ability to fight with the enemy in close range, they were not that powerful. Ray could kill anyone in his way while facing a group of warriors of the sea race, so he could just as easily beat the spellcasters.

When the warriors of the sea race found that the spellcasters were going to lose, they tried to rush to save them. The spellcasters that had a noble bloodline were almost killed by Ray. The warriors managed to save less than ten spellcasters.

"I am so happy!" Ray laughed.

He had already put off all his psychological burdens, and only wanted to have a good fight. He had already killed many enemies. It's said one can't make any profit simply by killing one enemy, but he could make some profit by killing two enemies. If killing was profit, Ray had already earned enough to make others jealous.

But he was still not satisfied. Everyone only had one life; no matter how much profit one got, he could never be satisfied. Life was the most precious thing.

Ray only wanted to do one thing: kill! Kill until he could no longer move!

He heavily brandished his sword, and the light reflected by the sword shone on the blood that was everywhere. It seemed that the situation on the battlefield never changed. Ray held his sword and confronted thousands of members of the sea race, whose blood converged together and became a river. Dead bodies of the sea race were everywhere. He was fighting alone against a huge number of enemies just holding a long sword, while his enemies were all holding long spears. Even so, he was the one winning, and it almost scared the warriors of the sea race to death.

The commanders of the sea race couldn't bear to see this continue. They had a discussion and came out with another idea. This time, they sent out the wizards that were very rare among the sea race.

Every one of them was holding a magic wand in his hand, but didn't dare to get close to Ray. They just moved a little bit, and did a magic spell that targeted Ray, who was fighting.

The magic flying bomb spell was a very simple but classic magic spell. Although it was not that powerful, it was very reliable. One of its biggest advantages was that as long as the wizard locked the target with his mind, the bomb would not stop flying until it hit the target.

Ray had almost exhausted his energy since he had been encircled by the enemy and tried to dodge their weapons. He couldn't spare the energy to stop the wizard from targeting him. Soon light purple light balls were flying towards Ray, one after another, crossing the crowd like fish. They hit Ray directly.

Ray was busy fighting as well as being bombarded by the tens of magic flying bombs. Suddenly, his body trembled. Before he pulled himself together, the warriors of the sea race seized their opportunity. Ray was penetrated by at least four or five long spears, almost lifted up by them. Still, Ray brandished his sword and managed to kill every enemy that was getting close to him. At the same time, more magic flying bomb came towards him and hit. Ray now couldn't stand still, and his whole body was shaking.

Blood spurted from his wounds, and Ray's body was no longer agile. He began to react rather slowly. Seeing Ray was going to be defeated, the warriors began to cheer and rush toward Ray, each wanting to kill him with their own spear and share the honor of killing a extremely powerful enemy.

Meanwhile, they were just being naive. Ray's sharp sword awaited them. Although Ray was in great pain and felt his internal organs had already ruptured, he managed to force a smile. In the sea race's eyes, Ray was even more frightening than an evil ghost. He, a human, could still fight when he was so badly injured! They were afraid and didn't dare to get close, but circled him from a distance.

More magic flying bombs flew towards Ray and managed to cross the crowd. One hit Ray at last.

Ray could no longer stand, and he collapsed. He lied in a pool of his own blood.His vision was fading, and scenes from his past began flashing in front of him.

A five or six year old kid was happily running in the palace, and happened to see his grandfather reviewing a group of knights who had just won a war. His grandfather's hair had already turned white and his face was rather serious, the silver armour and the long sword shining in the sunlight. The hair of the proud war horse was combed and tidy.

I have wanted to become a knight since I was five or six years old, Ray thought.

Then the kid grew to seven or eight years old. He began to work very hard to exercise his swordsmanship by brandishing a wood sword and hitting a target under the guidance his grandfather had already abdicated. His grandfather could no longer stand as long he could just a few years ago, so he was smiling and sitting in a soft chair, watching his young grandson practicing his swordsmanship, giving him some instructions from time to time.

I wonder if it was at that time the rumor that I was probably the real inheritor of the eagle-wing sword began to spread.

A few years later, the kid grew to become a youth of 12 or 13 years old. He was riding a horse while brandishing his long spear, and penetrated a ferocious orc. He was fighting in a battlefield with other brave knights, and managed to destroy the formation of the orc army.

That was the first time that I was ever in a battlefield. My father didn't worry about me at all, since he allowed a youth of 12 years to fight with the orc; even if it was my first time joining a real fight.

The knights—who were wearing armor all over themselves and holding the long spears decorated with silk banners—were riding white horses and proudly proceeding the area. Under the helmet, the youth was laughing as bright as the sun.

I was a prince but I dressed up and joined the knight's tournament. How audacious I was!

Then a scene of fire, blood and battle appeared. The familiar faces all suddenly were no longer familiar. The sweet drinks were mixed with poison; many sharp arrows hit the royalties from behind; the relatives and the friends collapsed one by one, and sounds echoed in the room.

My teacher always said that many people died during the fights to become the next king. I finally understood its meaning that day.

The bodies of the most noble people of the kingdom were randomly thrown into a deep hole, since there was still poison inside their bodies. Even the flies and bugs didn't dare to get close to them. The youth was breathing slowly and lying among his relatives and friends who faces were gradually rotting. He gradually pulled himself together.

I had already experienced the most frightening thing possible. I never cried again.

Next a staggering figure was brandishing a branch in a valley. He didn't care if his body had recovered or not. As time went by, he became stronger and stronger. His face was gloomy and one could see the intention to kill in his eyes.

Back then I swore that I would revenge my family. But I failed to do that in the end.

An unsocial youth was asked to drink together with his adventurer peers. Everyone was laughing, only he was wearing a poker face; but in his eyes, one could tell there was a shred of warm light.

Those people. They could have been friends with anyone else!

Then the gate of a commercial corp was locked by a heavy chain, and the building was tightly surrounded by killers who wore black and held bows in their hands. A youth in black was wearing a sad face and walked through one room after another. The rooms were soaked with blood. He mercilessly killed anything that moved, even the people who he used to laugh and drink with.

From that day, I changed my nickname from 'cold face' to 'killer.'

The solitary black armored knight was riding a ferocious Nargakurga and ran after a group of people. He killed the notorious thugs one by one, then sifted through some treasured objects on the dead bodies that were soaked with blood, while smiling coldly.

It seems that it is true that people make good remarks about themselves when they are going to die. I killed other thugs apart from the bandit!

The black armored knight was about to get the crystal of divine power. Suddenly a huge green jellyfish appeared from nowhere, staying on his head and threatening him while laughing. All his spoils of war were taken away.

This was how I met His Majesty for the first time. Though maybe my first time meeting His Majesty was a bit different from my memory.

It seemed that the green jellyfish above his head like head meant to become a priest, since it kept telling him many things about justice and kindness, never stopping. The black armored knight was really bothered and wanted to kill it with his sword, but he always failed to do so.

That was so hard for me!

Under the damn jellyfish's "teaching", the black armored knight was forced to do good, and received many thanks and applause from the people. Gradually, he began to smile more, and his face became softer.

I think that's when I began to change.

Another member joined the team that was of a human and jellyfish. She was a concupiscent woman that was past help. She even dared to try to have s*x with him, which made the black armour knight very angry. Due to this he had chased after the woman countless times, and during this process, gradually began to laugh more often.

Steele… although she was sort of a clown, clowns can be beneficial to a team.

The black armored knight knelt before the huge green jellyfish, and made his vows. He looked very determined and his eyes were very clear.

Thank you for giving me a new life! I am sorry that I can't return this favor!

Then a teenager was working very hard on his training. Next to him stood a knight in white armour. The youth was so absorbed in his training he didn't notice his teacher's happy and nostalgic face.

I never thought I could become a teacher. I always felt I had become very old; maybe I just grew up.

Then the teenager was lying in a pool of blood, his face extremely pale. He was using his last ounce of strength to smile. Then eventually he stopped.

Ranke, my student, you were still a kid! Why should an innocent kid like die before an old man like me, who has done numerous bad things!"

The scene of the past was still flashing in front of his eyes; then every scene began to dim. Eventually his last breath left his body.

Maybe it was just an illusion, but next Ray saw refugees that were running for their lives, and Liv riding back and forth on a horse beside the refugees. She was yelling and waving her long sword like an experienced shepherd maintaining the order of the group of refugees, so that they would not flee in panic and step on each other.

Steele was flying around Liv and helping her maintain order. She also practiced her healing spell to treat the injured from time to time.

Suddenly, Steele stopped and turned around, looking in the direction of the bay of Garth City.

"What's wrong?" Liv asked curiously.

Steele didn't reply and stared at the city in silence.

Hey, you hussy. Goodbye.

"Goodbye," Steele said.

He then vaguely saw dirty currents, the raging sea, and four figures that fighting each other. Among them, there was one figure that looked a bit different from his memory, but it had the same style.

Your Majesty, I am sorry that I failed to meet your expectations. The transparent knight could not get close to the battlefield, but knelt down on one knee. Please forgive my incompetence.

Sui Xiong, who was in the middle of battle, suddenly shook all over. He turned around and found that transparent figure fading. Seeing this, he immediately knew what had transpired, and howled as if he were mad. The sky broke, as did the earth, and the dirty current raged

Chapter 122: Chapter 122

This time, Sui Xiong really went mad.

He was roaring, though even he had no idea what this roaring meant. Each time he roared, he hit the Goddess of Ocean with all the strength he had, or even more. Sui Xiong's firm and strong body couldn't withstand such power, and he soon got many tiny cracks.

The Goddess of Ocean never thought Sui Xiong could suddenly become so crazy. This madness was totally different from the mania Sui Xiong showed earlier. Now he showed a sort of neuroticism. Sui Xiong had lost every bit of reason he had. He was purely enraged and releasing his anger.

She could tell that the huge jellyfish God was on the brink of going mad, and that maybe soon, there would be one more crazy demogorgon who was just like all its predecessors. One who made destroying the whole world and killing every living creature their ultimate goal. They were disliked by both the kind Gods and the evil Gods. The Goddess of Ocean didn't care about what Sui Xiong might turn into, but she would never be willing to become an enemy that was hated by a demogorgon.

The demogorgon didn't need a reason to kill, but once it held a grudge against you, it would risk everything to track you down and make trouble. A demogorgon's existence relied on destruction, but the being itself could never be destroyed. Even if a demogorgon was sealed tightly away, it would somehow manage to escape.

Through the ages, there was a rule that with every birth of a demogorgon, came the death of the one that ever infuriated it or even drove it to madness. The Goddess of Ocean felt that she would also fit into this rule. Therefore, she would not allow the huge jellyfish God to go crazy!

She did not want to admit that she was feeling frightened at this moment, but she was frightened by Sui Xiong's resoluteness. Watching Sui Xiong yelling crazily and hitting his enemy with rage and in disorder, she was indeed afraid.

The Goddess of Ocean could even imagine what would happen next: the body of the huge jellyfish would suddenly collapse, and then the power that could lead the world to destruction would make a hole in the center of the jellyfish's body. As soon as the hole was made, the energy of destruction would continually flow out, and turn the jellyfish into an existence that was impossible to imagine. This energy would contaminate the world around them.

Now, the jellyfish had not completely changed into a demogorgon yet. But it would certainly become more crazy due to the misery and anger in its heart. Still, it would keep a last shred of reason in its mind, and with the help of that last shred of reason, it would go to find its enemy. Because of the energy of the destruction, the millions of worlds were all transparent to it, and defenseless before it. Thus, it could go freely and directly into its enemies' Holy Kingdoms, and then…

Then what?! There was no then!

When that time came, the Goddess of Ocean would die, and her holy Kingdom would be destroyed too, and it would be impossible for her to be reborn. So as for what would happen next, it had nothing to do with her!

"Sh*t! Who on earth has infuriated him?" she murmured while struggling to withstand Sui Xiong's more and more intensified attacks.

At this moment, she got a message from her ally, the God of Storm, who planned to build a divine department of natural disaster.

"You have really come up with a fantastic idea!" she said in response.

"Yes, I think so too. Still, your followers have done a good job. Currently we only need to get rid of these barriers. Then we can go directly after those people," the God of Storm said happily. "As for the damn God of Justice, as long as we don't kill the people ourselves, he cannot possibly protect them from being killed. And it is he that has made such a rule."

Meanwhile, Sui Xiong began to brandish all his tentacles and heavily attack the huge water element. On the physical side, this strike only hit off a part of the body of the water element. Since there was water everywhere, the water element could restore its body simply by absorbing water from around it. However on the mental side, this strike was instilled with divine power. It pained the Goddess of Ocean, especially when the connection between this incarnation and her real body was so close. Thus, her real body also felt the extreme pain. She almost passed out.

However, a God could never pass out.

After making such a heavy strike, Sui Xiong himself was also heavily injured; even the tentacle that first hit the enemy was broken. But Sui Xiong was in a fit and couldn't feel pain or other feelings; or rather, he could actually feel the pain, but the pain would only make him more crazy. For him, the pain could even make him feel better.

Ray was dead. He died while performing Sui Xiong's order. Actually, at that time, Sui Xiong only casually gave the order that Ray should help to stop the sea race from intruding the land, and make the refugees leave safely.

He really said it casually, without thinking. Ray took it seriously. He kept fighting with the sea race, and didn't retreat even if there was only one of him left on the battlefield. And he didn't get proud after killing a huge number of enemies; he fought hard until the last minute.

He even came to say goodbye to me, and felt guilty since he failed to perform my order.

Thinking this, Sui Xiong once again began to crazily attack the Goddess of Ocean, his tentacles breaking one by one. Due to the huge amount of energy each tentacle had inside, the broken tentacles fell into pieces and vanished instead of being washed away by the water.

Could he feel the pain? Of course he could. But Sui Xiong was manic, and the pain soothed him.

Even though Ray was severely injured, and there were many holes and spears in his body, he still worried about the safety of the refugees and the order I gave him until the last minute…

"Ow!!!"

The huge jellyfish gave another crazy howl, and an extremely powerful energy began to spread into the immediate surrounding area. Tens of miles of seawater was froze, and before it froze completely it suddenly exploded due to the energy, and fell into pieces. It became falling snow. The seawater collided with itself and created a sound that was as loud as a landslide or tsunami.

With the sound echoing, not only was the incarnation of the Goddess of Ocean, the water element, heavily shattered, but the shivering Haimu Sarah and Tim Saar were severely injured. Sui Xiong didn't care if he hurt his own peers, and every strike caused a huge explosion on a large scale. It was as if he meant to make a hole out of the Main Plate, a hole that led to the underworld, so he could try to get Ray's soul back.

"Hello, I think something is going wrong over your side," the God of Storm said. He didn't get any reply from his ally, so he made some observation and was surprised to see Sui Xiong's behaviour. He immediately sent a message to the Goddess of Ocean, saying, "What is going on? You said your enemy is an easy guy to deal with. Why are you being hit by him instead? Is what I am seeing an illusion?"

"F*ck an illusion!" the Goddess of Ocean finally managed to pull herself together and cursed. "That bastard has gone crazy! He is going to become a demogorgon!"

"What?!" the God of Storm was also someone who had seen a lot and done a lot, but as soon as he heard the word, he was so terrified that even his real body that was in his own Holy Kingdom shivered. "Demogorgon?! Who drove him so crazy?"

The God of Storm knew clearly how dangerous a demogorgon was, so he immediately asked a key question. Everyone knew that when a demogorgon was born, it would definitely kill at least one of its enemies. "Who drove it crazy?" was a key question.

"Who do think his enemy is?" the Goddess of Ocean said. "It's either you or me."

Hearing this, the God of Storm started shivering all over and asked: "You or me?! Which one of us then?!"

"If you really want to know, ask him! He is right here!"

The God of Storm was not stupid; he knew he would be killed on the spot if he went to ask Sui Xiong! Although he was not sure who his enemy really was, he thought that there was a bigger chance that the Goddess of Ocean was Sui Xiong's enemy. But if he went to ask Sui Xiong, he might become Sui Xiong's enemy!

Ally? Cooperation? Who would care about these sort of things now! Everyone knows that one should always put his own interest first, and a God must know this as well!

If they two were kind Gods, they might have helped each other; or if they were disciplined Gods, they would abide by the agreement they made together. Though the two were evil Gods, under this critical moment, they were being nice to each other; and though they didn't try to hurt each other, it was impossible for them to help each other!

Meanwhile, Sui Xiong was getting crazier and crazier, and his attack was getting stronger and stronger, so the Goddess of Ocean found it more difficult to withstand Sui Xiong's attack. Then she thought for a while, and directly cut off the connection between her real body and her incarnation, even she knew that doing so would cause damage to herself.

The result was like a man who had cut off one of his arms. The pain was so intense that the Goddess of Ocean was rolling on the ground. Still, as the saying goes: better a little loss than a long sorrow. It was better to cut off an arm than to be cut apart one piece of meat at a time by someone else. Besides, no matter which way she chose, she was bound to lose her incarnation.

The Goddess of Ocean cut off the connection and then fled back to her Holy Kingdom, leaving the water element behind to be hit by Sui Xiong. The incarnation had already become too feeble to withstand Sui Xiong's attack, and without the energy that was continuously being transported from the real body, it immediately collapsed. Sui Xiong hit it one last time, and it immediately became water.

Sui Xiong was stunned, and had no idea why his opponent, who was very powerful a few minutes ago, suddenly became a piece of crap that had no combat effectiveness at all. Then he suddenly realized what had happened, and got into the water. He absorbed the shattered body of the water element into his stomach, gaining great strength. Then his huge body became even larger. He looked like an enormous water ball that with countless tentacles; it was almost comical. But the face of the water ball was extremely terrifying; no one dared joke about it.

Sui Xiong managed to defeat the incarnation of the female tyrant of the sea! He even make the Goddess of Ocean abandon her incarnation and run away!

"It actually tasted pretty good," Sui Xiong laughed. Then he turned to the Haimu Sarah and Tim Saar, who were still fighting with each other. He waved one of his tentacles which was as wide a hill, and hit the divine core of Tim Saar. The core was shattered.

"Haimu Sarah, don't waste your time. Eat him and you will recover soon!" he said coldly. "I have something else to do and don't have time to take care of you. Be careful!"

"You… too," Haimu Saar said. He was a bit clumsy, but could feel Sui Xiong's extremely intense intention of killing.

Sui Xiong nodded and scanned around, finding the astonished God of Storm who was standing above the cloud.

"Good, there is still one that has not fled! Ray…don't worry, I will kill them all!"

He brandished his tentacles.

Chapter 123: Chapter 123

The "wind" was something that would never leave any trace, either when it came or left. Maybe it was because the God of Storm had gotten so used to being arrogant, he didn't even realize that he should immediately run away until Sui Xiong targeted him.

However, it was too late to run away now!

Sui Xiong brandished one of his extremely huge tentacles and flung it into the cloud, and made a sound that was as loud as thunder. The sea race either on the bay or in the sea all felt dizzy when hearing the sound, and the feeble ones instantly collapsed or sat on the ground. Some even sank into the water.

The God of Storm didn't have the time to think of what to do. He immediately showed his incarnation that had been hiding inside the cloud all this time; it was an amazingly huge wind element. When the wind element was in a state of rest, it had no form. But once it began to move, it would become a tornado that rotated at high speeds. Besides, countless black clouds were swirling inside it, as did the roaring thunder and terrifying lightning. This all made the winter element look very frightening and magnificent.

Normally, Sui Xiong would not probe the enemy if he looked magnificent, but now he was so angry that he could not think at all. He flung his tentacles right at the winter element without thinking.

The unlucky God of Storm was hit.

He never thought there would be a God that would do things without following the rules! How could he hit me without finishing his curse? Why did he initiate the attack while he was still cursing?

The huge tentacle hit the God of Storm who hadn't reacted in time. He almost passed out, and half of the thunder and lightning inside his body had gone. Even the rotating tornado became a bit slower.

"Seriously!" the God of Storm shouted and was hit again by Sui Xiong's tentacles.

"You!" he was hit again.

"Are!" again.

"Being!" once again.

"Ridiculous!" he was hit heavily by Sui Xiong again.

Sui Xiong didn't give any chance for the God of Storm to counterattack. The God of Storm was not able to make any defensive moves. He was only congregating his power enough to stand Sui Xiong's harsh attack.

One time, two times… 10 times, 20 times… 100 times, 200 times… the sound of thunder never stopped, not even for a second.

At last, the God of Storm realized that he could no longer keep his incarnation; he also understood why the God of Sea, who was much stronger than him, would leave her incarnation behind to be shattered by Sui Xiong, and run away.

Who said the damn jellyfish God was going to become crazy? It was already crazy!

Luckily, the connection between his real body and his incarnation was not as strong as that of the Goddess of Ocean. If he abandoned his incarnation, it would not do any harm to his soul.

So his real body could still sit calmly on the throne that was made of storm, thunder, and lighting, and contemplate.

"Why the jellyfish is behaving like this? It just lost one follower. Does it really need to make such a fuss!" the God of Storm looked at his empty Holy Kingdom and shook his head. "I almost have no followers, and I still managed to make it on my own until today…"

As an evil God that could bring on natural disasters, the God of Storm had almost no followers. Only some people who were extremely crazy or were frenzied about the violence and destruction would believe and follow him. Thus, although he was a powerful God, there weren't many followers in his Holy Kingdom, which made it look very desolate and bleak.

Those violent men could not possibly understand the depression their God was feeling after he was heavily hit by Sui Xiong, and began to fight against each other after seeing the God of Storm calmly sitting in his throne.

Compared with him, the Goddess of Ocean received a better treatment from her followers. This female tyrant was also the guardian of the marine creatures, so apart from the evil marine creatures, there were also many neutral, or even kind creatures. When seeing their severely injured Goddess come back, they immediately gathered around her and asked how she was. Although they couldn't help relieve her pain, she was much more calm.

"I am so happy that I have these followers!" she exclaimed with a bit of satisfaction.

In the human world, Sui Xiong was feeling rather gloomy.

After killing the incarnation of the God of Storm, Sui Xiong ate his remains, and then his body made a sound of roaring thunder, and was surrounded by countless strokes of lightning. A short while later, both the sound and the lightning faded, and his huge body began to shrink. At last, his body was around five meters in diameter. Still he looked very huge; but before, he was as big as a black cloud. Compared with that, he looked much smaller.

Sui Xiong flew back to the ground and stopped beside Ray.

Ray was lying still in a pool of blood. The storm failed to wash away the blood on him and his wound became white, since he had been soaking in the rain for a long time. He was penetrated by at least ten long spears, and his whole body caved in due to the hit of the magic flying bomb. His tall and straight body no longer existed any more. One could even see his bones among his wounds; the bones were all broken.

Seeing this, Sui Xiong almost burst into tears. This poor thing had sacrificed himself to perform Sui Xiong's order, and to protect the refugees.

Seeing Ray's wounds, Sui Xiong could imagine what Ray had gone through. He was fighting with countless enemies all by himself and finally was killed!

Sui Xiong was trembling and trying very hard to restrain his urge to kill all the sea race. Then he spread his soul's tentacles and began to search for Ray's soul.

"It is still not too late, I may still find some trace of his soul, maybe he is still…"

He was talking to himself, trying to comfort himself in this way.

But he was disappointed by the reality.

He had been trying very hard to search for Ray's soul, he managed to find some trace; but still he failed to find Ray's soul.

"Could it be possible that he has gone to the underworld? Or to hell?" Sui Xiong was contemplating. He drew some very complicated trajectories in the air with his tentacles, trying to summon back Ray's soul from the underworld by using Ray's body as the medium.

"No matter if you have gone to the underworld or to hell, come back, please!"

Sui Xiong's powerful energy was shining as brightly as a moon. The energy slowly spread out and even froze the seawater in the distance. Seeing this extremely powerful energy, the sea race were so terrified that they began to tremble and hurriedly ran away, hoping their fins could be a bit stronger, tails longer, claws more powerful, so they could get away faster.

Sui Xiong was not bothered by the terrified sea race at all. He was focusing on his magic spell, and searching for Ray's soul in the underworld, hell, and every possible place a certain soul might go to with the help of his magnificent will and powerful magic. All the powerful existences in this world were surprised by Sui Xiong's behaviour and had no idea what Sui Xiong—a God they had never seen before—really wanted.

But Sui Xiong was just searching for Ray's soul.

After a long while, the light of his magic faded. At the gloomy bay, there was a huge jellyfish feeling rather frustrated.

He failed to find Ray's soul, he didn't find any clue at all!

He thought Ray had gone to the underworld, but he didn't find him there; he thought Ray had gone to the hell, and didn't find him there either; he then searched for Ray's soul in the Shadow World; Ray was not there. He then searched again in the Star World Soul World; he even searched for Ray's soul in the heaven where the kind were, and the Element World that was at the outside of the Main Plate where a soul would sometimes go by accident. Still he couldn't find Ray's soul.

At last, he was desperate!

Maybe… Ray's soul had already disappeared. The transparent figure I saw just now might be Ray's last trace in this world…

Thinking of this, his body began to tremble. Suddenly, he came up with an idea, and he was so excited that he even jumped up.

It doesn't matter that his soul has disappeared, as long as I have got his body! It is not the soul, but the body that is the most important thing! I can definitely bring Ray back to life with his body, and the memory left in his brain! Even if his brain is dead, I can rebuild his character by using the thoughts left in his body!

He quickly got rid of all the long spears on Ray's body, and shrouded Ray with his tentacles. Then he activated his magic and began to heal Ray's heavily damaged body.

Treating a dead body would cost dozens of times of more magic energy than usual. Soon, Sui Xiong finally managed to heal Ray's body.

Then he began to heal Ray's brain.

Unsurprisingly, Ray's brain was already dead, and it was impossible for Sui Xiong to bring it back to life. Even if Sui Xiong struggled to input some electric current that a healthy human brain had into Ray's brain, nothing happened.

Sui Xiong didn't give up and continued to do the magic spell, trying to gather all the thoughts left in Ray's body and build a new character.

The new character was in fact a substitute for a soul, but it could not provide vitality. But he only needed to make some lollipops to provide the vitality to his body…

"I am really good at making lollipops, I even learned how to draw a lollipop from my teacher! When you wake up, I will make thirty different kinds of lollipops for you, so you can taste a new flavor everyday!"

Sui Xiong was murmuring. Then he activated his magic energy, trying to extract the thoughts left in Ray's body.

Countless light spots appeared around him, and Sui Xiong was shocked by this scene.

"How… how come there are so many light spots?!"

He should have remembered that in this battlefield, countless lives had been consumed, and they all left their thoughts here. Due to Sui Xiong's magic spell, all the thoughts had been activated, and then became a river of light spots.

Sui Xiong knew that it was impossible for him to spot the thoughts that belonged to Ray among all the messy light spots.

He was stunned.

What should I do?

Seeing the countless light spots, Sui Xiong could not possibly find the light spot that belonged to Ray.

He thought for a long time, then had no choice but to accept the reality that he really could not find Ray's soul.

Thinking of this, he became furious again. His eyes were full of anger that any audacious warrior would be frightened to death of if he ever saw them.

Sui Xiong then had a suspicious smile.

"Ray, you have a good rest here. I will come back soon." He gently put down Ray's body, then he raised up his head and stared at the sky.

"Goddess of Ocean and God of Storm, you think you two can really run away after abandoning your incarnations? This business hasn't finished yet!"

He jumped high up to the sky and took a long breath.

In the air that was at least a hundred miles above the ground, the magic power became disordered, and turned into a few huge power streams that were flowing toward him from all directions.

Sui Xiong was waving his tentacles and yelling while absorbing as much magic energy as possible.

"Bigger! Bigger! Bigger…"

Every time he said bigger, his body would be much bigger and at last, he became a beast that was huge enough to cover the sky and the sun. Most parts of the sky above the Kingdom of Blue Moon were blocked, as was the sunlight. People in the countries or regions in the long distance could also see the huge beast.

A terrifying enormous beast that would only appear in the legendary strong man's dreams!

Its body was just like a huge black cloud that could block a certain part of the sky, and most of the Kingdom of Blue Moon was in its shadow, as if it was already night. Its moving tentacles made people feel extremely frightened.

If one looked carefully, he would find this beast looked exactly like an ordinary jellyfish. But could it really be called a jellyfish when it was in this size?

No one would regard it as a jellyfish, or compare this huge beast that could block the sky with the ordinary marine creatures.

The huge beast was crazily absorbing magic power, and at the same time, many colorful lights appeared in the sky and were moving toward Sui Xiong. Soon, the huge beast's body began to shine in peculiar colorful light, which was indeed scary.

The light was actually warm and bright, but everyone felt cold and got goosebumps all over themselves.

In the peak of the Broken Cloud Mountain, more than one strong man were looking at the east in surprise. They could clearly feel the evil and the strong intentions of killing from the colorful light, and thought the huge beast was almost on the brink of going crazy.

In the Golden Desert, the sand was moving around. The old half-God that had been living since ancient times opened his eyes and looked it that direction and felt the huge beast had shared something in common with him. But the huge beast was full of sadness and anger, and was like a volcano that was going to erupt at any time.

In the deep of the Iron Cliff Mountain, a pair of scary greedy eyes was looking towards the north, but instantly the fear controlling it, and it closed again.

In the few biggest temples in the Kingdom of A Thousand Springs, both the Holy Lady and the principle priests frowned and worried that the huge beast might be threat to them.

The governor-general of the Male Eagle Country stopped checking the files and walked to the window, and stared at the bizarre scene in the sky. Then he had a long sigh.

In the shining temples of the Kingdoms of Holy Angel, many great existences suddenly gathered together and had a discussion. Then they all made their own oracles one by one.

In the dead silent Dead Meteorite Desert, someone made a sound of surprise in the deep of the sand sea.

In the vast east sea, countless creatures were trembling in fear, especially the followers of the Goddess of Ocean. Among them there were very faithful or powerful followers who realized that this magnificent and ferocious power was very similar to the power that injured their Goddess, and began to feel that something dangerous and scary was going to happen.

In the deep sea, some half-Gods who regarded the Goddess of Ocean as their enemy were feeling very happy and celebrating together. The more ferocious Sui Xiong became, the happier they were. Someone radical even even suggested that they should seize this opportunity to attack the followers of the Goddess of the Sea in the coastal waters and totally destroy her churches.

The whole Kingdom of Blue Moon turned into chaos. Everyone was freaking out and had no idea what they should do. All the cities, the temples and the magic pagodas had activated the most advanced protection magic arrays. All the armies and strong men were ready to fight.

Everyone was feeling very anxious, apart from those refugees who were too tired to care about any bizarre scene in the sky. For them, nothing could be more terrifying than the intrusion of the sea race!

In the wildness that was not too far away from Garth City, Liv was settling the refugees who had been running for a long time and asking them to rest here, while reading the message her mother—who had taken the risk to go to Garth City to find out what was going on—sent back.

The fight is still going on, and the Goddess of Harvest is going to lose. The bay is blocked by the gravel and rock, so I cannot not see what is going on on the other side. Just a while ago, the sound of fighting could still be heard, but strangely, it is now dead silent.

After reading this message, Liv frowned and was about to say something, but she bit back the words after seeing the worrying eyes of the refugees.

At this moment, she felt that the burden on her shoulders was getting really heavy. Thousands of people's safeties all counted on her; she felt like there was a mountain on her shoulders, and it made it difficult to breathe.

Steele noticed Liv was feeling a bit uneasy, so she smiled and came to Liv's side and comforted her. Then she turned her head around and stared at the sky above Garth City.

The huge jellyfish was slowly rising up and getting larger and larger. In a short while, it blocked the whole sky and the world became completely dark. By sensing what was going on with her magic power, she found that Sui Xiong was absorbing the magic power in the air, and the magic power gathered around him and turned into magic streams.

"What's His Majesty going to do?" she was confused and said to herself. Soon she guessed the answer and smiled with a bit of melancholy.

I really envy you, Ray. Even if you are dead already, His Majesty still thinks about you and is willing to make such a fuss to revenge you!

Meanwhile, Sui Xiong's followers all realized that their God was boiling with rage. This time Sui Xiong was rather different from the time the Dark Shadow Evil made trouble for him. He was neither agitated not depressed; rather, he was full of anger and rage. The rage was so intense and powerful it was like a ball of burning fire. Sui Xiong was determined kill the Goddess of Ocean and the God of Storm, even if it would cost him his own life!

Gerrard and the other followers all knelt down and began to pray.

However, they had no idea what they should be praying for. Gerrard, the chief priest, was not a sophisticated man. He was very good at fighting with others, but he knew nothing about how to make prayers. Satan, the chief wizard, had been very busy recently, and hadn't had time to write a prayer before he died just a few days ago. Palin, the librarian administrator, was still too young to make a prayer. Snow, the political officer, was already busy enough, and no one dared to bother her with such a trivial thing, unless he was not afraid of being changed into a frozen statue by her.

Bang!

The sound was so loud that one could hear it clearly, even he was thousands of miles away.

There was a big hole in the sky in the east, and the storm, the thunder, and lightning were all coming in from the hole. At the same time, Sui Xiong managed to rush into the Storm World via the hole, full of fierce wind.

In the blink of an eye, the hole was filled up again, and everything was normal. All the strong men and even the Gods in the Main Plate were shocked by this scene.

What on earth did the jellyfish really want to do?

Sui Xiong was gritting his teeth and rushing straight to the Holy Kingdom of the God of Thunder: the country of furious flame.

The God of Storm realized that Sui Xiong was coming for him and was stunned. He couldn't believe what was happening in front of his eyes. How unreasonable this jellyfish was! Coming to the Storm World by making a hole in the sky of the Main Plate? What was it even thinking?!

Obviously, Sui Xiong came for revenge.

Seeing this, the bad-tempered and proud God of Storm, who had never been treated like this by anyone else, finally got furious. He yelled and his enormous Holy Kingdom slowly changed its form, and became the infinitive thunder and lightning and flame tornado that was surrounding a floating land.

The Holy Kingdom was slowly flying toward Sui Xiong.

This was actually how his Holy Kingdom really looked, and how the name 'furious flame' came about.

"Come! Show me what you've got!"

Although the God of Storm was a bit worried that the jellyfish God might become a demogorgon, he would never abandon his Holy Kingdom and run away. He was determined to use all the strength he had to wage a life-or-death struggle with this jellyfish!

The Storm World was not that big; so the God of Storm quickly met Sui Xiong.

Seeing the God of Storm, Sui Xiong yelled. His body, which was already big enough to block the sky, got as big as the Holy Kingdom of the God of Storm. Sui Xiong brandished one of his tentacles that was huge enough to destroy a whole city and flung it toward the country of furious flames that was surrounded by the thunder, lightning and flames.

Bang!

The surface of Sui Xiong's tentacle was scorched. Even so, Sui Xiong managed to hit right at the outer layer of the country of furious flame, and the thunder, lightning and flames around the spot Sui Xiong hit weakened a bit.

The God of Storm who was standing in his throne trembled. When the Holy Kingdom was damaged, he was also affected. However, he was not bewildered or terrified at all. Instead he began to sneer.

"How dare you hit my Holy Kingdom? Aren't you tired of living?!"

The burning fire spurted out from the other side of the huge Holy Kingdom, and meanwhile, hundreds of layers of magic arrays appeared. In the blink of an eye, the Holy Kingdom was moving toward Sui Xiong's huge body with the fastest speed one had ever seen.

The God of Storm was very confident that the damn jellyfish God would be shattered to pieces by the hit!

But he was wrong.

Sui Xiong spread all his tentacles to withstand this hit with his body.

Countless cracks appeared in his body, as if he would fall into pieces in the very next minute. Infinitive thunder, lightning and flames were surrounding and burning his body.

Still, he made it through.

Moreover, he completely shrouded the country of furious flame with his huge iron chain-like tentacles.

Sui Xiong's whole body was almost scorched. Still, he was proudly smiling.

"I have caught you!"

Sui Xiong's voice was loud as the thunder, his sound was echoing inside the country of furious flame. All the followers who admired the violence and followed the God of Storm were shocked, and the God of Storm frowned.

He never thought that the jellyfish God was so powerful and so crazy, and everything now was out of his expectation and his control.

He shouted and slowly rose up from his throne, and showed himself.

It was an unimaginably enormous storm,with countless thunder and lightning bolts mixed in his body. A mountain, or an entire country, could be destroyed by it.

The God of Storm was rushing toward the core of the jellyfish, while yelling and shouting.

At the same time, the huge jellyfish was also yelling and opened its mouth to bite the country of furious flame.

The Palace of Tens of Thousands of Gods was a big meeting place where the Gods of the whole world would gather together. Whenever a new God was born, a new seat would be set in this palace. Normally, many Gods would leave their doppelgängers here, so they could communicate with each other. Up until now, countless agreements and conspiracies were made here, and friendship and hatred were evenly shared among these Gods. The relationship among these Gods had a very big influence of the whole world.

There were innumerable seats in this palace, and these seats were arranged according to the rank of the God. In the first rank, there were four seats, which were the seats of the God of Order, the God of Disorder, the God of Kindness, and the God of Evil. While the seat of the God of Order was still shining and looking very smooth, the other three seats were dim and full of cracks; this meant that the three Gods were sleeping their long sleep and might never be able to wake up, if they were not dead yet.

In the second rank were the seats of the principle Gods of all the departments, and the Gods who were stronger than a group of Gods added together. For example, the God of Justice. There weren't many seats in this rank. There was a strong man in rags sitting in a wide chair and yawning.

A bald man in the third rank suddenly jumped up and yelled: "Yore Gartman! You have set me up!"

The strong man didn't even bother to reply and was still yawning, then said, "You must be kidding me! If I really want to set someone up, I would set up that guy shining in silver light, who was in my front up! Who do you think who you are? I can kill you with one shot!"

"If it were not for you, why would that crazy jellyfish come to me first, instead of the Goddess of Ocean? Since it is she who was confronting him, not me!"

"You are being ridiculous! You always are upset by trifles, and then kill the people involved, or burn their houses down!" The strong man lazily picked his ear with the end of finger and said, "As for why he comes to you first, I have no idea, maybe it is because your Holy Kingdom was very close to the Main Plate."

Hearing this, the bald man got extremely angry, while the figure who was shining in silver light and sitting in the shining chair in the first rank finally opened his eyes.

"God of Justice, please mind your language. I accept your challenge, but I hope you shall challenge me in a decent way."

He was speaking in a very low voice, but his words were so powerful and magnificent that no one dared to disobey.

"Humph!" the strong man snorted. "Stop putting on a show! One day, I will break your wheel of order and completely overturn the world that has become so dull!"

"If that day comes, I will happily accept it, since it is how the world should proceed," the figure that was shining in silver light said calmly. "I am sincerely looking forward to that day!"

"Pah! I don't want to sit in your chair. I think I will definitely go blind if I sit there, since it is too bright!"

"If you can defeat me, you should naturally sit in my chair. It is an honor and your obligation also."

"I am done talking with you, you are so boring!" the strong man shook his head and turned to the seat behind him that was hiding in the black mist. "Hey! God of Conspiracy, what are you plotting now?"

A gloomy voice came out from the black mist, "I am not plotting anything; at least not now."

"You mean you plotted before?"

"I guess; but not now."

"Really?" many Gods who were sitting in their chairs looked at the God of Conspiracy curiously, their eyes were full of surprise.

The God of Conspiracy was someone who never stopped plotting, not even for a single minute. Why had he stopped now?

Was he lying again?

The strong man frowned. Then he immediately got the answer and began to laugh!

"You are afraid! You coward!"

The figure in the black mist sneered, and didn't reply.

Every God at present all understood what the God of Conspiracy meant, and also started to laugh.

In fact, the God of Conspiracy was not that powerful. In the past, he agitated someone who was very strong. Later this strong figure came to his Holy Kingdom for revenge, but he could not defeat him; so the God of Conspiracy abandoned his Holy Kingdom and fled. This happened more than once. A few times later, the God of Conspiracy learned his lesson and knew who he could mess with and who he couldn't. For example, the strong man in rags—who was sitting in front of him and was stronger than a bunch of beggars added together—was someone the God of Conspiracy never dared to mess with.

This time, the God of Conspiracy meant to frame a certain God. Later, he realized that this God was more powerful than he expected, so he changed his mind and began to behave himself, and simply became a bystander.

While the Gods were laughing, the angry bald man suddenly made a strange sound and vanished. At the same time, smoke rose up from his chair and quickly dissipated. Then countless cracks began to show on the chair; at last it collapsed.

Apart from the Gods who had been watching all the time, all the other Gods were astonished. The bad man was the formidable God of Storm who was recruiting other Gods to work with him to build the department of natural disasters. Why on earth he suddenly vanished?

Countless Gods began to cast their eyes at the Storm World, where the Holy Kingdom of the God of Storm, the 'furious flame,' was located.

Then they saw a scene that they would never forget in their whole lives.

A huge scorched jellyfish was flinging his tentacles at the broken Holy Kingdom again and again. His skin was cut open and his flesh was ripped. At the same time, his mouth was severely torn and green smoke was coming out from it. Even so, he was gripping a weakening tornado with his teeth, while thunder and the lightning were flying out.

"What is this monster?!" a God exclaimed. "Could it be an ancient evil monster?"

"Nonsense!" a God who had been watching all the time said with dissatisfaction. "It is just a jellyfish God, the God of Storm agitated it before, so it got crazy and came to his Kingdom for revenge."

"But I have never seen it in this palace..."

"Maybe it is because that it hasn't joined an apotheosizing ceremony, which is not that rare."

"It has already become so powerful before even joining an apotheosizing ceremony?! Could it be possible that it will become another poor crazy God?!"

"Excuse me! You should not speak ill of him behind his back! Be careful!" the poor and shabby God of Justice angrily shouted.

The God who just spoke realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, then screamed and vanished. Clearly, he wouldn't dare to show himself in this palace for at least a few decades.

Around eight Gods secretly made some plans and each made an incarnation; then the incarnation quietly went to the Storm World.

No matter how huge the jellyfish God was, it would be impossible for it to eat everything the God of Storm had. For the eight weak Gods, the "leftovers" left by Sui Xiong were already something valuable.

Among the eight Gods, a few Gods also had the priesthood of the storm, thunder, lightning, and violence. By inheriting them, they could probably have a better understanding of their own source power, or even upgrade to a higher rank!

When the incarnations of the eight Gods arrived, the huge scorched jellyfish was floating in the Storm World that was full of thunder and lightning. It was not moving at all; maybe it was exhausted or dying.

Even if it looked like it was dying, still, not a single God dared to fight with it.

That would be ridiculous. How could they dare fight the jellyfish? This jellyfish managed to destroy both the God of Storm and his Holy Kingdom, and it even devoured the God of Storm! Even though it was too weak to breathe in the air, and most of his tentacles were broken and so burnt they could be displayed in a dish, it could just simply kill these weak Gods with only one shot!

The eight incarnations bypassed Sui Xiong and began to collect the heritage of the God of Storm. Soon, everything that was left by the God of Storm had been taken away by them; then they quickly and secretly left.

After a long while, Sui Xiong finally regained some of his strength. First he absorbed around one tenth of the amount of the magic energy of the Main Plate; then he successfully destroyed the Holy Kingdom of the God of Storm, and even killed the God of Storm. But he was also badly injured. Not only had his body been severely damaged, his soul had also been heavily shaken, and he felt a bit dizzy.

That was why he had some rest, so he could regain his strength.

Now he was feeling much better and felt ready to fight again!

The huge jellyfish roared, and penetrated space again. He rushed toward the Sea World.

"My gosh! It wants to have another fight?!"

"Of course. He has another enemy; and if you can get revenge now, why leave it until later?"

"Revenge? There is only one God living in the Sea World. You mean the Goddess of Ocean was also his enemy? The Goddess of Ocean is much powerful than the God of Storm was, it could never beat her in its current condition!"

"When he was heading to the country of furious flame, I also thought e would definitely be killed, but he won at last."

Then all the Gods turned to the Goddess of Ocean. Her seat was next to the God of Storm's seat. One was shining in blue light, the other had collapsed, which was a bit ironic.

The Goddess of Ocean was watching the God of Justice in surprise, and said coldly, "Why did you stop me from killing it?"

"Because I stand for justice!" The shabby and beggar-like God of Justice took a deep breath and wore a solemn face. His eyes looked rather determined; even the Goddess of Ocean didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

The Goddess of Ocean was a bit afraid. Then she immediately regained her courage, and contradicted the God of Justice. "So I shall be killed by it, to help you to stand for justice?"

"You can either fight it or run away," the God of Justice replied coldly. "I just can't allow you and the God of Storm to siege. Besides, I didn't really stop you just now; but if you helped the God of Storm, I would have definitely fought with you. I think I am playing fair and square."

Hearing this, the Goddess of Ocean was furious, but since she could not defeat the God of Justice, she sneered and vanished.

In the blink of an eye, she returned to her Holy Kingdom, the 'wave garden.' Seeing the beautiful garden floating in the middle of the waves, and her followers who were either wandering in the wave or resting in the garden, she felt a little bit blue and nostalgic. Then she clenched her teeth and made the decision: she would fight with Sui Xiong outside of her Holy Kingdom!

Before Sui Xiong arrived, she waved her hand and a golden trident appeared. Then she stood up and her clothes instantly turned into blue armor. When she was in full combat dress, she jumped out of her Holy Kingdom, and grew into a giant that was as large as the Holy Kingdom.

The angry, huge jellyfish was coming.

"I need to tell you that your follower's death was just an accident; and I have lost more followers than you," She said in a high voice. "I know you don't want to hear all this, so let's finish this business by force!"

"Let's fight then!"

Hearing the declaration of the Goddess of Ocean, which sounded very powerful but was very feeble, Sui Xiong roared. He curled up to a huge ball and began to rush towards the Goddess of Ocean.

The trident of the Goddess of Ocean was named The Wrath of the Waves. It was a famous great weapon. It was the object created when God created the world, and had been deeply buried in the sea, condensing the strength of the holy mission of "Ocean". It was said that when the Goddess of Ocean was still a demigod, she once held this great weapon and separated the sea, and repelled the other six demigods of the deep sea. That was how he won the supreme throne.

After her official apotheosizing, she spent a great deal of time condensing the armor on her with divine power. She had not completed it until today, so it had not yet been given a name.

But the power of this armor was unquestionable. She had tried in private to use the Wrath of the Waves to stab this armor; it left only a small wound. Although she did not use too much force at the time, if it was able to endure to the power of the Wrath of the Waves, its solidity could be sufficiently proved.

At this moment, the Goddess of Ocean was wearing her holy armor, so she had a little more confidence. In the face of the menacing and aggressive Sui Xiong, she didn't withdraw or concede, but waved the Wrath of the Waves, and confronted him head on.

With a thud, the tough tentacles and sturdy shells of Sui Xiong did not work in defense, and they were immediately pierced by her powerful gun. The massive force immediately destroyed his body. Centering on the pierced wound, numerous cracks spread rapidly toward other body parts, and infinite beams of blue light overflowed from the crack and turned into torrents.

At first glance, he seemed to have become a pierced water ball, and it seemed that the next second he would be broken by the high water pressure, and torn apart.

The Goddess of Ocean could not help but smile. But the smile quickly froze on her face: Sui Xiong did not care about the injury. He didn't retreat but went forward, and took advantage of this opportunity to pull her closer to him. Tentacles, still full of scars, fluttered and wrapped around her tightly.

"Oh, huh, huh… ah, ha-ha-ha!"

The face of the giant jellyfish, which was burnt and scorched and full of horrible cracks, showed a crazy grin. "I have grabbed you! I have grabbed you. I have grabbed you!"

The Goddess of Ocean only felt cold air rush from her feet to the top of her head, and could not help but tremble. Although she did not know, just a few days ago, Sui Xiong had said the same thing to the God of Storm. She could feel the murderous arrogance in his voice.

After all, she was a God with much fighting experience. Especially when she defeated the demigods; she had many bloody battles in that process. The God of Storm could not even compare to her, because he focused on bullying the weak. Seeing that the situation was wrong, she immediately shouted, and her huge body suddenly shrank. In the blink of an eye, she became as small as an ordinary human.

However, as if Sui Xiong guessed that she would do this, he shrank his tentacles without hesitation at the same speed as her, even though his body was still so big. As a result, although the Goddess of Ocean became smaller, she was still entangled with many tentacles, and the situation did not change.

No, there were still changes: those tentacles seized the opportunity, and wrapped her tighter.

"Ahahahahaha! Ahahahahaha!" Sui Xiong crazily laughed, with pleasure and madness. His voice seemed to suggest that a blazing fire was turning his enemies into ashes.

Although the holy armor on her body was very strong and reliable, the Goddess of Ocean became more and more uneasy. she shouted and turned into a giant again, fully mobilized the power of the Wrath of the Waves, and set off a turbulent torrent into the body of Sui Xiong. She wanted to rip him apart before this damn jellyfish cast spells!

But just when she had only mobilized a little power, she heard the words of Sui Xiong, transmitted by his mind.

"Noble Goddess of Ocean, do you know how the jellyfish hunts?"

The Goddess of Ocean suddenly felt terrified and struggled to break away from those tentacles.

However, it was too late.

"It's a poisonous thorn! Ah hahaha!"

With the savage laughter, countless poisonous thorns darted from the tentacles that encircled the Goddess of Ocean. Although most of them were blocked by the armor, in the end, many of them still found a lot cracks in the armor, and stabbed in.

This was a weapon he had never used before. It was also the last resort of this jellyfish body.

Almost all jellyfish were poisonous, regardless of their size or type, except for some variations in special environments. Their tentacles contained stinging cells that secreted a variety of different poisons. Weak poison would make people feel a pain and numbness in the hands, which explained the Chinese name of jellyfish, meaning 'a stinger in the sea.' Strong ones secreted by jellyfish as big as a ship's bow could kill dozens of people. This was their most powerful weapon, and it was also the true means of survival of this seemingly delicate creature.

The jellyfish that Sui Xiong was attached to was certainly poisonous, and as he continued to strengthen this body, the poison also continued to strengthen. Whenever he had realized and made breakthroughs, the poison would generate new changes and add new features and powers. Until today, even he himself did not know how great this poison would be.

Because of his good character, he never tried this cruel trick. However, at this moment, he had extreme anger and hatred. He didn't care whether or not the trick was cruel! Besides, he really had no other option. In the battle with the God of Storm, he almost used up all his energy. Now the jellyfish was just an empty framework.

It was absolutely impossible for him to fight against the Goddess of Ocean for long, or to break into her kingdom and kill her. So on the way there, he already made up his mind.

Go up, entangle her, and use poisonous thorn.

If this doesn't work, then use soul attack.

He knew that there must be many gods watching at this moment. He did not know what the consequences would be if he exposed his true body.

But he didn't care!

The big events in the world were nothing more than a death. People paid each other back in death, so why couldn't he do that?

Even Brother Bao, who was once a trivial worker in a brothel, also said that loyalty is important for brothers. He dared to risk his head to save his old friend Mao XVIII. I, brother Xiong, am also a senior intellectual who is educated, and work in the artistic industry. To put it in a way that sounds good, I am a painter and a talented man, so how can I not dare to die!

I will have no wounds other than a bowl-size scar, and after eighteen years, I will be a hero again!

With such determination, and faced with the powerful holy gun of the Goddess of Ocean, he did not panic, but became happy. He rushed directly against the trident and let his body be pierced, seizing the opportunity to approach the Goddess of Ocean.

Then he waved his tentacles and tied her up firmly.

The Goddess of Ocean's reactions were so rapid that it almost scared him. However, once his tentacles tied his opponent, they would be shortened and become smaller and smaller even without him wanting to cast his own spell. It was all instinct; but the result was that the Goddess of Ocean became smaller and bigger in vain.

Sui Xiong seized this chance, maybe his last one, to strengthen all the poisonous thorns.

Then, he stabbed her with all of the thorns!

Although fewer than one percent of these thorns were lucky enough to cross the gap in the armor and pierce the body of the Goddess of Ocean, it would be enough for Sui Xiong if even one thorn hit the target.

Without hesitation, he injected all the poison he had accumulated for a long time into the body of the Goddess of Ocean, leaving nothing at all.

Then he was finally exhausted, and couldn't keep hold of his opponent. He collapsed.

If he had not been stabbed by the powerful gun, the Wrath of Waves, and could barely hold back by relying on the pain, perhaps he would flow anywhere like a pool of mud. Or perhaps he would be drowsy and sleepy due to relaxation.

Instead he was lying in the water, stretched his few tentacles that remained, and allowed the body to be skewered by a golden trident, as if he was on a barbecue stall. He was too tired to move.

On the other side, the Goddess of Ocean was plunged into endless fear and suffering.

Sui Xiong's poison was no joke!

Coincidentally, Sui Xiong only attacked enemies that were closer to him. He first attacked the God of Storm and then the Goddess of Ocean. His poison was really ineffective on the God of Storm, but miraculously effective on the Goddess of Ocean.

The real body of the God of Storm was just a gust of wind wrapped in thunder, and was not afraid of poison at all. The body of the Goddess of Ocean was an aquatic animal: a mermaid. In the face of Sui Xiong's poison, she was defeated.

The body of a god that was supposedly invulnerable to all poisons couldn't resist Sui Xiong's miraculous poison. Various kind of poisons wildly raged in the body of the Goddess of Ocean, destroying everything that could be destroyed. Muscles, blood, bones, nerves, internal organs. Even her supernatural powers, divinity, her soul. all were eroded by this poison. There was no exception.

The resulting pain made the Goddess of Ocean almost crazy.

Unknown kinds of poison were showing effects together. In an instant, it was like she experienced all the tortures on earth. There was pain from the soul to the body. It was not only pain, but all sorts of unpleasant feelings like numbness, burning, itching, cold, heat, stickiness, stiffness…

For a while, it was impossible to describe it, and all the feelings were combined into one scream.

"Ah!!!!!!!!!"

She screamed frantically, threw out her weapons, and fell into the stream of water, twitching, tumbling, and dying. She only hated the vitality that prevented her from dying in this circumstance.

Sui Xiong looked at the miserable appearance of the Goddess of Ocean and could not help but smile happily.

But the Gods watching the battle were all scared at the moment.

This big jellyfish was too powerful and vicious! It seemed that the Goddess of Ocean had better die!

Seeing two strongmen fighting, with neither intact, some Gods became greedy and wanted to take advantage of this chance to defeat them both. But the God of Justice coughed coldly, and dispelled these kinds of thoughts.

Obviously, the God of Justice is standing on the side of the big jellyfish this time. Let's not enrage the madman who was able to attack the supreme place to hit the wheel of order, and challenge the great God!

After a while, Sui Xiong recovered first. Although the long golden trident was still in him, without the control of the Goddess of Ocean, the power of the Wrath of the Waves did not show effect. They only caused ordinary injuries.

He stroked the few remaining tentacles and allowed himself to float slowly. He clenched his teeth to pull out the Wrath of the Waves, and directed it towards the Goddess of Ocean. In order to make sure he'd kill her with only one blow, he also attached many tricks on it. The tip of the golden trident became dark green, which was a bad sign.

He was still laughing wildly with a strange tone, and felt like a bow that had been pulled too tight, that could break at any time.

"Cry! Yell! Then you will die!"

Chapter 127

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

Sui Xiong crazily laughed and raised the specially-modified trident without any compassion in his heart in the face of the Goddess of Ocean, who felt as if she was not living due to the poison. She could only roll and twitch there, without the strength to escape, let alone fight back.

Just as he was preparing to approach the Goddess of Ocean and completely end the life of the female tyrant, there were many Gods and believers rushing out from the Holy Kingdom surrounded by turbulent flows. They knew that they were absolutely not opponents of the huge jellyfish that knocked down the Goddess of Ocean. Many were scared but bravely rushed towards him.

The holy envoys stopped in front of Sui Xiong and tried to protect the Goddess. The believers tried to move the seriously injured Goddess to the Holy Kingdom for healing.

Obviously, Sui Xiong wouldn't let them hinder him. He yelled and threw away the trident which directly stabbed the Goddess of Ocean.

The believers of the Goddess of Ocean panicked. They couldn't think. They lunged in front of the trident and used their bodies to block this powerful weapon. There were only screams and the sounds of collapse, and many of them died. In the end, it was a huge sea element that caught the opportunity that many companions sacrificed, and heavily hit the trident, making it deflect and fly far.

But Sui Xiong immediately went where it went, stretched his tentacles, and raised the trident again.

"Go away!" he yelled, "A good dog doesn't block the way!"

The surviving holy envoys did not move at all but remained in front of the Goddess.

In a furious manner, he once again raised the trident.

Holy envoys, put plainly, were the tools the Holy Kingdom used to battle. Except for in rare and unexpected circumstances such as being devoured by a jellyfish, it would not be long before they would be resurrected in the Holy Kingdom of God, even if they were destroyed. They were totally different from the ordinary believers.

So, of course, Sui Xiong would not have the slightest mercy towards them. He picked up the trident and rushed to kill those holy envoys. They were thrown into a disorderly formation.

The Wrath of the Waves deserved to be one of the best weapons. Not only was it amazing, but also when people held it in their hand, they could feel that endless power was slowly flowing into the body. Although it was not very fast, it was as mild as the water, and as profound as the sea. For Sui Xiong who had almost been exhausted of energy, it was a timely rescue!

With the power complimenting him, he felt that his strength was rapidly recovering and that he could use more power to launch attacks.

What was even more amazing was that this weapon made the holy envoys of the Goddess of Ocean seem completely vulnerable to his attack. Obviously, they were even more powerful than he was at the moment, but he killed him in an instant, as if he were chopping vegetables with a knife.

Although they could still be resurrected, everything would have to be determined then.

After killing all the holy envoys in the road, Sui Xiong finally took the gun and came to the Goddess of Ocean.

The Goddess of Ocean had now been tormented by the poison, and was completely exhausted. She was faintly lying in the water flows, looking desperately at Sui Xiong with her horror-struck eyes. Her body kept twitching occasionally due to the stimulus of the terrible poison.

Her believers had been trying to pull her away to the Holy Kingdom. However, because the Goddess of Ocean had made her body too large, their power had simply not been sufficient to move this truly huge giant. They had worked hard until now, with little success.

But the man who came to kill her had already come in front of her.

Sui Xiong grimly smiled, and was too lazy to talk nonsense to her. He slowly raised the trident.

The armor on the Goddess of Ocean was quite strong. He had to work hard to seriously hit her and kill her!

Then, it was so.

The giant jellyfish grit its teeth, and a pale white color shone in its giant mouth, which was so big that it seemed to have been torn up.

Just as he was ready to stab his gun at her, the believers suddenly roared and rushed towards him, one after another.

Their body and strength were simply not worth worrying about for Sui Xiong. As long as he waved the Wrath of the Waves, they would be killed without leaving a single piece of armor!

Moreover, they were not holy envoys who were already integrated with the Holy Kingdom. Even if they were partially transformed into divine creatures, they still had only one life. When they died, they died. There was no chance for resurrection.

Sui Xiong frowned and was about to pick up the gun and kill these guys who were making trouble. But when he was ready to wield his gun, he happened to see the eyes of several believers.

They were clearly full of fear, but also a forced calmness. It was obvious that they were not afraid of death, and rushed forward without hesitation.

He was dumbfounded slightly and heard just a few believers around the Goddess of Ocean whispering prayers.

"Farewell, my Goddess. I'm sorry we don't have the power to protect you!"

The giant jellyfish trembled. He held the trident high in the air and stayed there for a long time.

When death is close, they do not think of their own lives, but instead apologize to the Goddess…

He could not help but become lost in thought. He recalled the scene in which Ray insisted on bidding a farewell to him, when only a strip of the soul was left.

In the torrents of wrath, the pale transparent figures slowly kneeled down to him on one knee and whispered, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry I can't live up to your trust. Please forgive my incompetence."

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Sui Xiong yelled wildly. The remaining tentacles waved wildly, but the tentacle holding up the Wrath of the Waves could not stab at her. It was as if it had been petrified and solidified in the air.

"Why! Why! Why!" He growled furiously, and the entire sea swayed with his roaring. "She is an evil God who has descended countless storms and tsunamis to sabotage the common people! She is a madman who constantly drives you to fight and die in vain!"

"Why! Why are you so loyal to her, and even want to protect her, even when you are about to die!"

The believers of the Goddess of Ocean looked at each other and did not understand what the giant jellyfish was doing. After a while, there was a mermaid who was extremely old who whispered, "Although Her Majesty has changed, in my mind, she is always the queen of the sea, who guards us against all dangers!"

This believer was the most senior one under the command of the Goddess of Ocean. She followed the Goddess of Ocean even before the Goddess of Ocean was apotheosized. Over the years, she had witnessed the constant transformation of the Goddess of Ocean from the patron saint of marine creatures, to the Queen of the Seas, and eventually to the tyrant of the sea.

She was sad, she was in pain, but her loyalty had not changed!

Sui Xiong looked at her, kept silent for a moment, mobilized the power of the soul, and read her memories as if he was turning book pages.

This mermaid had a low level of strength. In front of Sui Xiong, her thoughts and memories were almost transparent, and not even the slightest piece could be hidden. As a result, Sui Xiong clearly saw countless scenes, as if he himself had become an old mermaid who had past experiences with the Goddess of Ocean.

He clearly saw that the princess Verbocus, who was dressed in a long dress, was playing with mermaids and dolphins, and grew up every day in this way. When danger came, she stepped forward to protect them, and never retreated, even if she was badly injured. In the face of everyone's gratitude and praise, she just smiled.

He clearly saw that one day, Verbocus, who was only a demigod, discovered the Wrath of the Waves in a deep trench. When she pulled up this gun, the entire sea seemed to cheer.

He saw that the Goddess of Ocean, with her gun, traveled through the vast sea. She persuaded the good ones and deterred the cruel ones. She defeated the unmovable powerful demigods more than once, and finally unified all the oceans on the entire main plane. She also established an unshakable and absolute authority. Under the praise and admiration of almost the entire sea race, she had broken through the final limits and entered the temple of the true Gods.

He clearly saw that the Goddess of Ocean became fierce and brutal as she absorbed beliefs of various fierce creatures that she did not like, and had no contact with. The mermaid girl who liked to sing and play the harps in the corals gradually disappeared. What was left was only a moody female tyrant holding a gun, wearing armor, and sitting coldly on her throne.

He clearly saw that with the transformation of the Goddess of Ocean, the races in the deep sea who had been faithful to her were despaired after persuading her in vain, and abandoned their faith in her. Weeping, they tore down the shrine that they had built and turned to honor the declined Goddess of Life.

He clearly saw how many times this loyal mermaid had cried, how many tears she had shed, how many times she was hurt. What stuck out especially was when the Goddess of Ocean completely demolished the Garden of Quiet-Flow that had been built by the people's hard work, and eventually turned it into a military fortress surrounded by waves that only had a name of a garden. At that time, these old believers were very heartbroken.

However, after all that, they stayed here and accompanied the Goddess, whom they had once deeply admired and, loved but who had hurt them deeply.

After watching these scenes, Sui Xiong was full of emotion, shocked by the times when this crazy female tyrant was gentle and quiet, and also shocked by her transformation after being apotheosized.

The mermaid princess who naturally gave people a good impression like a spring breeze; the heroic, upright, and great queen who was worshipped by all good and evil sea creatures; how could she turn into a vicious tyrant? How could she become a madman who took joy by carrying out war, killing, calling on believers to launch great struggles, and laughing amidst the corpses' blood?

Was this… the power of faith?

Could it be the reason the King of Sex and Lust resolutely refused to become a true God, was that he feared one day he would also change, due to faith?

If I am apotheosized in the future, will I also eventually become a villain with the increase of believers and the accumulation of belief?

His mind was heavy. He felt as if like his chest was pressed down by a rock, and his breathing became irregular.

The believers of the Goddess of Ocean still guarded the Goddess.

"Aren't you sad? Don't you regret it?" Sui Xiong could not help but ask heartlessly, after a long time.

The old mermaid stumbled, then received his thoughts, and suddenly thought of those sad things. Tears fell from her eyes.

But in the end, she replied firmly, "I feel sad, but I don't regret it!"

Sui Xiong couldn't help but roar to the sky, full of depression and anger. But he finally had lost the madness that he had when he was desperate to be destroyed together with his enemies.

"Look at them, Verbocus!" he yelled at the exhausted Goddess of Ocean. "As a God, it's shameful enough for you to let the believers sacrifice themselves to protect you. But you break even the lower limits. See what you've done! I would also feel ashamed if I were you!"

The Goddess panted violently, turned her head in powerlessness, and saw those believers who were still surrounding her now.

Most of them were familiar to her, many of whom were the followers who struggled with her to create their undertakings. However, they were no longer young. Even the sea elements whose ages couldn't have been told were already old. One could clearly see the traces of countless sighs and tears on their faces and bodies.

As for the murlocs and sea monsters, who always commemorated her merits and deeds, they upheld a chaotic, evil, and fierce style of bullying the weak while fearing the strong. So at the moment, they were waiting for him to fall in their Holy Kingdom. It was unknown whether they were looking forward to a resurrection in prayer, or directly wanted to replace her…

She, who had been pleased due to the smooth process of what she experienced, finally came back to reflect on her own path through the years.

"Why… why… why…" she trembled violently, the pain in her heart overwhelming even her physical pain. Before she only shed blood, but never tears—not even when she was intoxicated. But now she finally desperately roared, "Why have I become what I am now!"

She whimpered and cried in a miserable way, and the blue armor that once guarded her body suddenly collapsed, and turned into innumerable blades that crazily tore and cut at her body. That was similar to famous ancient tortures which were daunting.

But the Goddess of Ocean seemed to feel no pain at all. She just cried desperately, sometimes apologized, sometimes spit, and sometimes lamented, leaving her huge body to the blades. They created hundreds of holes, and left no complete flesh on her.

The face that once looked fine had been severely wounded; the once fierce and dignified eyes completely lost their light at that moment.

Sui Xiong could even feel that there was a breath, called desperation, spreading out from her body. After a while, her body was fragmented, and the breath of life became increasingly dim. At the very last moment of her life, she turned her head and stared at Sui Xiong with her blank eyes.

"Strong man from the ocean, remember my destruction! Do not embark on the same path as me!"

These were the last words of the powerful God.

As the believers cried, her large body slowly collapsed, and the entire Holy Kingdom collapsed too, slowly and firmly. Numerous fragments broke through the sky and fell from the sea domain to the main plane, like meteors crashing into the vast sea.

The Gods silently watched the Goddess of Ocean collapse with her Holy Kingdom and with the blue seat that was originally located in the middle of the third row of the Pantheon temple.

A God was strong because of her beliefs, and she was bound by faith, and even changed by faith. This was really a very heavy topic. Even the most powerful or most heartless Gods were not willing to talk about this topic.

For a time, the huge Pantheon temple was caught in a dead silence.

On the main plane, almost all the creatures on the continent witnessed the scene of the meteors falling like rain. All the creatures in the sea could not help but shed tears, especially the mermaids in the deep sea who sobbed and couldn't say a complete word.

They did have a lot of dissatisfaction with the Goddess of Ocean, and they even abandoned their faith in her. But they would always remember the beautiful mermaid princess, the heroic and upright sea queen. Countless mermaids were secretly hoping that their queen would one day repent, and change back to the queen they once knew. But now, all hope turned into bubbles, and their queen had fallen!

Sui Xiong also returned to the main plane with those fragments. He had now returned to his usual size, hidden in the clouds. He stared at the fragments falling into the sea and changing into countless bubbles.

This was the death of a powerful God, proclaiming the victory of his revenge battle.

However, he did not feel happy. He was somewhat embarrassed, somewhat empty, and somewhat confused.

"This is not the end I wanted!" He could not help but sigh, but his sigh was blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace.

In accordance with his idea, after a hard-fought battle, he would have finally defeated the enemy, and stabbed the Goddess of Ocean, who would have been half-dead. Then he would have opened his bloody mouth, devoured the wicked female tyrant like he had done to the bald guy before, chewed it, and swallowed it. Then he would have shaken his fork and laughed, declaring his successful revenge.

He never thought that the outcome of revenge would turn out like this!

"What is this?"

When all the fragments finally fell into the sea, Sui Xiong also fell to the surface of the sea, and sighed amid the countless bubbles.

The scenes seen from the past memory of the mermaid resurfaced again in his mind. He recalled carefully, admired at times, regretted at times, and finally uttered a long sigh.

"It's over! It's over! There is nothing other than what happened!"

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and felt that many powerful wills were spying around, and were about to take action.

He immediately understood: these guys all wanted the heritage of the Goddess of Ocean, and wanted to be the next Gods of Ocean.

However, from these wills, he could not feel even the slightest good intention. He could not feel the slightest idea of guarding the ocean, and protecting the infinite number of creatures in the sea. Instead, he felt only greedy, fierce, brutal, sinister intentions.

In a furious rage, he shouted, "You want to take advantage of this chance to get her heritage? Get away!"

Those wills dispersed like frightened birds, but they did not go far, and still watched.

As a result, Sui Xiong was so angry that he couldn't help thinking they were worse than the last generation. Looking at the slowly diffusing bubbles around him, he suddenly had an idea when he remembered the tough Goddess who decided to commit suicide in desperation when she found out that she had betrayed her ideals.

"Since those bastards don't behave, why don't I cultivate a person who will? He must be strong and kind!"

With a little thought, he threw the mighty weapon, The Wrath of the Waves, into the bubbles. At the same time he transmitted all the thoughts of goodness and kindness in his heart outwards.

It was strange that this obviously sturdy weapon fell into the bubbles and quickly dissolved like a spoonful of sugar falling into water, leaving no trace.

Then, all the bubbles concentrated at the place where it fell. They collided and surrounded it, and eventually turned into a white spray.

All people clearly felt that the deity and holy mission of the Goddess of Ocean, which should have been scattered after her death, were rapidly condensing towards the waves now.

A moment later, among the sprays, a large white shell rose, which seemed to be cut and polished by a beautiful jade stone.

Sui Xiong laughed and ridiculed the ghosts, "Sneaky beings! Now you can get away!"

Those wills finally left in disappointment, leaving only the laughing jellyfish to accompany the newborn deity.

After a while, the shell opened on its own. On its mattress-like pink flesh, a beautiful mermaid opened her eyes. She seemed to have just woken up, and stretched her body. She was graceful and infinitely beautiful.

"What is your name?" Sui asked with a smile.

The mermaid turned and looked at him. The green eyes were full of peace.

"I don't know who I am," she said. "I was born from the wreckage of the Goddess of Ocean, Verbocus and inherit her power, her past goodness, and sincerity. I also abandoned her greed and evil with your help. So who am I?

"You awoke her from a confusing dream to facilitate my birth. As my guide, could you tell me who I am"

Sui Xiong frowned and was lost in thought.

After a while, he no longer frowned, and his mouth gradually curled up, revealing a smile.

"The Goddess of Ocean, Verbocus, is dead. Her past has vanished. You are you and you have nothing to do with her!" he said. "I think the name Ariel suits you, because you were born out of the bubbles, and it reminds me of a very famous story: The Little Mermaid."

The mermaid smiled, and bowed her head to show gratitude. The shell gradually disappeared, and she changed into a human figure. She was standing on the surface of the sea, her slender legs seeming weightless.

In the Pantheon temple, a new chair rose, and the avatar of the mermaid was sitting on it.

Compared to the previous Goddess of Ocean, the daughter of the sea was obviously a weaker. But the smile on her face reminded many old Gods of Verbocus when she had just been apotheosized.

With the Gods looking at her, out of curiosity or gratification, she stood up to pay tribute to everyone.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ariel, the patron saint of good sea creatures, a mermaid princess, and the daughter of the sea."

Chapter 128

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

Sui Xiong became invisible, galloped in the sky, and flew towards Gars City.

Most of his injuries were healed, and he also carried a huge amount of wealth with him.

He did not know whether this would be a war remedy or a trophy, nor would he be bothered to ponder this boring question. At this moment, in his mind, he thought about issues such as Gods, beliefs, holy missions, and so on.

Watching the tragic death of Goddess of Ocean and personally guiding the birth of the daughter of the sea, Ariel, he was filled with emotion. There were countless thoughts coming one after another, but in chaos; as if he were faced with the legendary ball of yarn in the legend that made you the king of Asia Minor if you could disentangle it. But he couldn't cut it by using a sword, like Alexander the Great.

Numerous thoughts lingered in his heart, confusing his thinking. But as he gradually moved closer to Gars City, and could see the port still filled with traces of fierce battles and blood on the corpses that had not yet dried up, these thoughts were quickly calmed down. The left only sadness in his mind.

A moment later, he landed next to Ray's body.

"I have taken revenge for you." He sat on the ground without dignity, speaking in a muffled voice. "I killed the God of Storm who proposed a bad idea, and I destroyed his Holy Kingdom and devoured his body. The Goddess of Ocean, who launched the invasion carried out by the maritime race, also died. Although she committed a suicide, I put forth a lot of effort to kill her. As for the ordinary people of the maritime race, I think you probably won't care about them. And I'm too weak to chase and kill them one by one."

He thought for a moment, and he turned his eyes to the square where the battle had gradually come to an end. "To be honest, the God of Marsh and the Goddess of Harvest are also your enemies. As well as the Shadow Devil, who previously made trouble. Also the God of Aristocracy and the God of Conspiracies. I will never let them go. In the future, there must be a chance to kill all of them!

"But it's okay for now. I'm really tired. I need to take a rest for a while. Anyway, those guilty ones and I are all long-living. A little rest for ten or eight years, or even a little longer, presumably doesn't matter. There won't be such a big coincidence that they just die when I take a rest, right?"

He smiled and continued. "I just had a big fight. Now, when I think about it, it's actually a little regrettable. Maybe I have gone too far? This war made two Gods fall, and I'm afraid it will affect a lot of innocent people!

"Well, if you were still alive, you would probably say, 'Your Majesty, don't think about that; you should think about your safety first. If there is anyone that is wrongly killed, it's the fault of the one who started the war.' Well, you would definitely say so. Although you are not very long-winded, you are very knowledgeable and you are a prince!

"When it comes to your origin, I hadn't even had time to ask you. What is the origin of the name Leon Igor? What country are you from? I'm not familiar with the things in human society!

"Oh! I wanted to wait for you to tell me that when you were in a good mood. I have a long life, and it wouldn't take long before you entered the legendary realm, because you are so strong. Then, you would also have an eternal life, and we would have enough time to talk. And perhaps one day, you would be confused and old, and be bragging about how brave you when you were young, all day long…

"Then, even your children and future generations would probably find you to be long-winded, wouldn't they? But I would not, because I am a God! I did not feel bored when I repaired the submarine at the bottom of the sea for so long. How could I be bored when you told me stories?

"Oh my dear, among my believers, Gerrard can't say anything, even if there is something in his. His eloquence was terrible. Palin is a nerd, and he certainly has a common language with Olian, but perhaps not with me. Satan was busy researching spells all day long. Oh, he was killed too… even his soul was snatched away. After I take a rest, I'll snatch it back. Maybe I will also cure him slowly, so that he won't suffer any residual injury. Rhode…I have always felt that guy is very timid, and I'm afraid that he will not dare to chat with me. Wall is an industrious person, and I don't know if he has the habit of chatting with people. Olian may have no time to chat, because she is a city-owner. Steele…well, I'm afraid if I chat too much with her, she will think about having sex with me…

"Yes, I also know a few dragons, but unfortunately they do not believe in me. Also, I should exclude the strange boy and the girl who like to get up late. Snowflake is really a good girl with an artistic feeling. I think we must have a common language, and if I have the opportunity, I will introduce her to you.

"Didn't you always dream of becoming a knight? I remember you once said that the most powerful knights rode dragons and carried powerful weapons. When they went out, they glittered. Whenever they went, people cheered. In fact, I have giant dragons here; as for powerful weapons, although I do not have them now, it would not be difficult to grab some. Getting a gold-glittering effect is a matter of minutes; and with your qualities, you could have attracted a lot of cheers. You lack nothing!

"Well, you lack one thing."

Sui Xiong deeply sighed and was so frustrated that even his tentacles strained down. "You have passed away…

"Ray, I am very useless as a boss, right? Other priests cast a spell of resurrection, it as easily as they eat and drink. Not to mention doing that personally; even a medium-level priest can do that. But what about me? It took a lot of time and effort, but I still can't resurrect you…

"What is the use of being able to fight and being cruel! What kind of God am I? I can only destroy? I can't make things? I'm simply a devil!"

"Oh! It's a real misfortune for you to have followed me! I lost the treasure that was most difficult to get. You were a solitary thief, but you finally guarded the camps, and babysat, and finally you were killed by a group of people. If you were alive, you would also sigh that you have had the misfortune of following the wrong person.

"It's a mistake that you followed me, because I am a deplorable boss!

"I also know that I am deplorable. I'm not decisive, I'm not visionary, I like to talk nonsense all day long. I'm really bad compared to other, decisive people!

"Oh, when it comes to decisiveness, I remember things from the novels that I read in the past. According to them, people with a good background, profound hatred, and self-exertion would start to make a history after following a talented sage. But how come you died before you had time to make a history?

"Shoot! If we were written in a story, it would definitely be about deplorable people, who started to write stories, but failed to be popular even after decades, and were useless in their forties. And your death would certainly be a ridiculous scenario, because you would have much left to do!"

Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile. After a while, he sighed, "Unfortunately, life is not a story after all."

"It would have been good if we were in a story. In that case, I would go to the author of the story and, by bribing him, force him to change this to a scenario in which you are revived."

Speaking of this, he finally had nothing more to say, but sighed deeply. He became more and more frustrated and finally could not help but cry again.

Suddenly he heard a hearty laugh.

Alerted, he immediately leapt up, kept Ray's body behind him, and became defensive.

A light shimmered like a curtain, and a raggedly-dressed bulky man, like a beggar, appeared in front of him. The man was carrying an aggressive axe, making him seem by no means like a good man.

Although he smiled innocently at the moment, Sui Xiong was still distressed. He had carefully examined this area, but could not previously find this man. And it was scary that he didn't notice the him, who was close, until he appeared on his own initiative. This person's strength was simply incredible!

The man said with a chuckle, "You are a good man, because you cherish love and righteousness. You cry for your brother, so you are a hero!"

"Who are you?!" Sui Xiong couldn't help but accuse. "Did we know each other before?"

"We know each other, of course!" said the bulky man, laughing. "Before, when your brother was fighting here, I looked aside. The tower collapsed and the rocks flew. If it were not for my protecting him, he would have been hit by the stones."

"Then how could you not rescue him!" Sui Xiong was surprised, then he roared.

The man scratched his head, and said, "Who says I did not save him?"

He opened his wide left hand, where there was a ball of light in his palm. It faintly reflected the figure of a sleeping knight. Looking closely, countless tiny spots of light could be seen seeping into his body, making his image gradually clearer.

"Ray?!" Sui Xiong was dumbfounded.

"It goes against the rule for us Gods to directly intervene in mortal life," said the bulky man. "But after death, there is no problem. He is a good brother, because he even struggled to bid a farewell to you even though his soul would collapse. He deserves the bloody battle that you did for him!"

At the moment, Sui Xiong was too impatient to listen to his nonsense. He rushed to the man and shouted, "Return him to me!"

"Don't be so worried! He should rest for a while!" The big guy smiled. Even though he was doing nothing, Sui couldn't get close to him. "You. I want to talk to you."

"Give him back to me, and we can talk!"

"How can you be so anxious!" the man said, feeling frustrated. "His soul would collapse if you took him away now. Can you heal him?"

Sui Xiong shook his head hard.

"Then please wait obediently!"

Sui Xiong sat down to show that he would wait.

The man smiled and came to him, placing the Ray's light-wrapped soul on top of the body, and letting it float quietly. Then he joined him on the floor.

"Ha; let me introduce myself first. My name is Joel Cartman, God of Justice and Courage. In this world, I am also considered to be one of the strongest Gods."

Sui Xiong was stunned and looked at him carefully, but he couldn't see the slightest sense of a God in him. He seemed to be just a mortal person. But he still remembered his manners, and introduced himself.

"Oscar… your name seems to be decieving to others…" The God of Justice complained a bit and smiled. "Oscar, I think although you're not powerful enough, you are decent, honest, visionary, talented, and righteous. It is worthwhile to make friends with you.

"So, like they do in diplomacy, would you be willing to form an alliance with me?" he said. "But I should warn you; actually, I have no talent other than chopping people…"

As he was speaking, Ray's soul had been repaired, and slowly sank into his body. The body that had been fully restored to health was nourished by the soul, and it immediately regained its vitality. Ray moaned and slowly opened his eyes.

With great joy, Sui Xiong hugged Joel Cartman and laughed. "Talk is cheap. Let's do it!"

"What?"

"About allying with you; I completely agree!" Sui Xiong laughed and hugged the God of Justice with a dozen of tentacles that could suffocate. "Brother! You're really like my big brother!"
