Chapter 938: The HIdden One

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

In a place the other gods couldn’t even catch a glimpse of, there was a stream of still waters. In the middle of it, a group of injured soldiers quietly nursed their wounds.

This was the Human God System, which the other gods would never be able to find. Accurately speaking, this was the remnant of the Human God System.

The might of the “Fearless Special Attack” of the Sky Devourer Canine, Lefon, was indeed beyond imagination. This was also completely beyond the expectations of the human gods. Fortunately, at the most critical moment, the God of Light had reacted in time. He had created a clone of himself to drive the Human God System, the “Light Plain,” crashing into the “Endless Field.” Then, the split second before the collision, he had transferred all the human gods and a majority of the Oracles away. Just one blow was powerful enough to make the Human God System suffer a loss of more than 90 percent.

But the God of Light certainly lived up to his reputation of being a particularly powerful god among the others. That split moment where most of the gods had not been able to respond was more than enough for him. Though they were forced to cut off contact with their God Kingdom, with the human gods being badly wounded and the Oracles left in the doldrums, at least the Human God System was not fatally wounded. For this level of war, the degree of injury had not yet reached the extent of immediate death.

What was all the more fortunate was that, for some reason, the God of Light had long prepared a Sanctuary that was thoroughly obscured and isolated from the outside world. Even other gods would not be able to find it easily.

It was just that… back then, he had not anticipated the need to cram so many people into this shelter. So this place had gotten a little too crowded.

The Oracles had fallen into a deep sleep. Because all the “savings” of their God Kingdom had been for naught, this was the only way they could save up on Divine Power. And the gods, while relying on the Divine Power that the God of Light had left here, were trying their best to heal their wounds and recover as quickly as possible.

This Sanctuary had a twofold isolation effect. It made it difficult for the enemy to locate the whereabouts of the human gods and also greatly obstructed the contact between the human gods and their followers and Oracles. Even news from Earth was only received intermittently. They were often required to piece together news obtained from several gods to create a complete set of information.

“Report. The murloc race is launching an attack on the ‘Highest Tower,’ the capital of the Mifata Federation. They have gathered a large army with an alarming number of people and even summoned the Lord of the Abyss, ‘Yuslar.’”

The God of Light, who had gone very pale, shut his eyes. He listened to the intelligence with a cold smile.

“Another gang has emerged onto the scene! Orcs, dwarfs, elves, Marsh natives, underground races, pygmies… now, even the addition of the murlocs. Haha. I won’t be surprised if even the barbarians and dragons come to declare war on us.”

“Your Majesty, what should we do?” asked the God of Heroes worriedly.

“We don’t need to do anything much. Just focus on recuperation,” said the God of Light, who still wore a sneer on his face. “I know you are all very anxious, but do remember this: the chance of turning the tables in this war is only possible if you have all recovered well from your injuries. Before you all can completely regain your combat power, I will absolutely not allow anyone to leave this Sanctuary! We have already suffered a great loss in terms of power. We can’t afford to lose anymore.”

The God of Heroes was silent for a moment, then he asked, “So what about the war on Earth?”

“Trust our people. The long years of operation have given our people a deep foundation. It may seem as though the entire world is their enemy right now, but I trust that they can hold out until we recover,” said the God of Light. He opened his eyes. There was fatigue and anguish in his eyes, but more of it was a vivacious fighting spirit. “The situation now must be very difficult for them, and also for us. But be it the humans or us, we’ll all be able to make it out of this predicament. And in the end, we will turn the tables and trample upon our enemies without showing them any mercy!”

Having said that, a harsh, murderous intent arose in his eyes. Then he said, “We’ve really been too gentle and easy in the past, so much so that even random cats and dogs dare stand up against us and give us fierce looks. This time, we must learn our lesson. We must be ruthless and merciless. We must make this such an unforgettable memory for those onlookers that they won’t be able to forget it…”

The God of Heroes froze for a moment and asked in surprise, “You intend to annihilate all the races that lay siege on us this time?”

“Yes. The Orcs, dwarfs, elves, pygmies, those mud-covered fellows from the Marsh, the ghosts and monsters from underground, and also, those shrimps… This time, I’m going to kill them all, from gods to mortals alike. Even the old men who are breathing their last, or the babies who were just born into this world. All of them shall die!”

The God of Light’s expression had become very gloomy and ferocious, malice threatening to overflow out of his nostrils. He went on to say, “There’s no need for so many races in this world in the first place!”

Having said that, he closed his eyes again and said, “Don’t waste your energy. Just heal your wounds well. The sooner you recover, the sooner we can set out for the kill. Until then, feeling anxious or getting angry will just be a waste of energy. Our energy is precious. Don’t waste it.”

The God of Heroes was quiet for a long time. Then finally, he sighed deeply and lowered his head.

Be it the gods outside the Sanctuary, who were anxious and burning with impatience, or the gods inside who were doing their best to suppress their nervous states as they recuperated, neither side could detect a trace of each other’s existence.

Though… they were, in fact, very close by.

On the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World, at the highest point of the Wheel of Order, which was overflowing with dazzling light rays, a greater Divine Power in silver armor watched everything in silence.

There was no joy or sorrow in his eyes, only a mechanical kind of calmness.

But if another master of equal strength were to observe him up close, that master might be able to see that in the depths of that mechanical calmness, there were still some hidden traces of anticipation.

“I’ve grown tired of how orderly this world has been for so long. No matter who it may be, just let me see some changes.”

As he mumbled to himself as such, the Master of Order cast his gaze upon Sui Xiong again.

Sui Xiong was in the sky, somewhere near the Highest Tower. He had kept himself hidden from everyone and was frowning as he watched the ongoing war.

He had prepared himself well. If that Lord of the Abyss were to lose control and attack, he was prepared and ready to strike. Though this might be contradictory to his position of neutrality, it was obviously much more important to prevent the Lord of the Abyss from causing great damage to the humans.

The Lord of the Abyss was no ordinary monster. Once it lost control, even if it was a brief moment, it could still cause terrible damage that would make anyone shudder in fear. Take a great city like the Highest Tower, for instance. So long as the Lord of the Abyss launched a serious attack, at least half the entire city would be reduced to nothing, along with the vast majority of living creatures within the city.

But if anyone was likely to survive its attack, that might not necessarily be a good thing. That meant that they would be affected by its powerful, chaotic, and evil forces. And if they were lucky enough not to turn into monsters, there might still be traces of devilish elements left in their blood—this was how many “descendants of demons” came into existence.

Of course, Sui Xiong would never allow such a thing to happen. This was why, although he still remained invisible and did not allow anyone to see him, he had already adjusted himself into a position where he was ready to go all out.

When it came to such matters, Sui Xiong would never allow for accidents to happen!
