Garen's expression tensed.
The G.o.d of Time and Shadow. This fellow was an Ancient G.o.d. He was not one of the members of the many Pantheons who currently appeared in the eyes of mortals.
This was an existence who could control time, he was one of the most ancient Divine Souls in existence. Even the oldest Earth Mother could only at most level with him.
He was also the most secretive, rarely showing himself. Even when Miss Shar took over the Shadows, a part of his Divine Domain, he did not express any dissatisfaction, freely allowing his followers and priest to slip away.
“The Grey Shadow Society up north is actually the actual location of his church.” Ann continued, “the main goal of him creating the Shadow Council was actually to find my whereabouts.”
“If that's the case, the rumor is true?” The DemiG.o.d Lich Gawain frowned.
“Yes, even though I'm sealed but they still could not find a way to effectively finish me off. Not even the pulling force of the Astral s.p.a.ce could harm me,” Ann explained calmly. “After so many years, The G.o.d of Time and Shadow Flame Elemental Thane has been searching for a way to kill me but to no avail. Five hundred years ago, I found an opportunity to directly strip off this entire sealing ground into the crevice with unlimited plane movement, allowing me to flow through the s.p.a.ce tunnel. This would completely make them lose my tracks. After so many years of being sealed, it's time for some payback…”
Gawain's mouth felt dry. He was engulfed in flames, but he started to feel a slight sense of unease.
“Your goal, it can't be to…”
“Your guess is correct…” Ann smiled slyly. “It's time to take back what's mine… all the G.o.ds now are all in a mess, there's no better time to strike.”
Garen s.h.i.+vered, Ann's intentions were clear.
Slaying the G.o.ds!
Slaying Divine Souls with the same Divine Domain as her.
Shadow and Time, Ann's abilities were also in this aspect. Looks like the other G.o.ds had specifically found a specialist Divine Soul to monitor the seal.
The G.o.d of Time and Shadow was someone with an Upper-Middle Level Divine Power. Although Ann had Middle-Level Divine Power, the two operated based on different concepts. After all, Ann had been sealed for so many years, she was excessively weak right now, otherwise, she would not have asked for the aid of the Demon Lords and True Souls.
“I'll go back and try to get into contact with even more Demon Lords and True Souls,” Garen said after thinking briefly. “Of course, you don't have to worry, I won't just leak this plan out to anyone.”
“That's fine,” Ann nodded satisfactorily. “Garen, you truly have great potential. Within such a short time, your growth rate is so fast that it had even far surpa.s.sed that of the Void Creatures. You already have enough power to threaten a DemiG.o.d, maybe in a bit more, I wouldn't even be able to see-through you anymore.”
What she meant by see-through was that if Garen truly entered the DemiG.o.d Territory and formed his own territory, although DemiG.o.ds were still far from achieving the Middle-Level Divine Power, they were still beings on the same level. Thus, she would no longer be able to see-through Garen completely with her natural inspection ability.
After hearing this evaluation, the DemiG.o.d Lich at the side looked at Garen intently, reevaluating him again. He was initially friendly to Garen because Ann told him to.
Garen did not care much. If Ann wanted to slay the G.o.ds, this was quite frightening news. He was still a long way from reaching the Divine Soul. Being able to threaten a DemiG.o.d does not mean that he could threaten the Divine Souls at the Divine Kingdom. An a.n.a.logy for this would be that you might be able to stab a person in front of you to death with a knife, but it would not be that easy if your target was a country's President, even though a President was still an average human…
“Alright, you can leave first.” Ann noticed that Garen looked like he had something to say to her. Hence, she decided to shoo off Gawain for now.
As soon as Gawain's ball of fire teleported away, Garen heaved a long sigh of relief.
He started to talk about his developments in the Abyss and the problems he faced.
Ann listened to his rants attentively.
“An Evil G.o.d?” After Garen finished, she pondered for a moment. “I don't have a lot of enemies within the Abyss, but Big Mistress is considered one of them. Looks like she's taking action…well, there's no rush now after I succeed in my plans, I will personally go talk to her…” Her eyes suddenly filled with a sense of bloodl.u.s.t.
Casting a glance at Garen, she casually asked.
“You're also considered one of my pseudo-disciples. The Divine Weapon on hand is something someone else gave you, right? Don't you need stronger souls? What's the strongest soul you can absorb right now?”
Garen was at first surprised by her words but then felt delighted. According to his calculations, there was no limit on the number of strongest souls he could absorb right now, but if there were no new inspirations, it would not be able to condense the Soul Seeds and Soul Rings, only turning them into backup Potential Points. He currently already had a lot of Potential Points, there was basically no way for him to use up all of it. What he was lacking right now were Soul Rings that could raise his Soul Limit. No matter if it's condensing True Souls or increasing the attributes, what he lacked was Soul Rings.
“As long as it's not a DemiG.o.d, I should be able to absorb it!” Garen answered directly. “However, the best-case scenario would be to absorb the soul of a territorial master with special inspirations. The level of power is not that important.”
Excluding Divine Souls, there was no one who could compare to Ann's kill count.
“Master-level souls with special inspirations?” Ann frowned slightly. “I don't have too many of these types of souls, Major G.o.ds, and the other Magic G.o.ds and Evil Gosa all like these kinds of souls. These types of souls are Holy Souls and can be transformed into incarnations of G.o.ds, it's far different from other souls.”
She hesitated briefly before waving her hand.
Suddenly, a puff a grey mist appeared in front of Garen.
“These are two souls from masters of construction. They're the only ones I've preserved, the others I had already used as bartering resources.”
Garen was in joy. He directly accepted the two souls with his Death Bracelet.
“Thank you, teacher!” He was once again rea.s.sured of his relations.h.i.+p with Ann.
Truly, without Ann's help in the beginning, he would have been completely annihilated by the Suffering Knights back when he first set foot here. He also learned countless things from her later on, hence having this sort of relations.h.i.+p with her was nothing much.
Ann also did not reject this sort of relations.h.i.+p. She only casually nodded her head and waved her hand again. Garen immediately disappeared from the bottom of this abyss.
When he reappeared, he was already in the sky of the Fiery Blaze Mountain Range.
“Oh right, I accidentally caught a Void Creature earlier. Her body seemed to somehow have an aura related to you. So, I decided not to eat her. I'll let you investigate more for now.”
As Garen was preparing to set the transport spell back to the Dragon King Mountain, Ann's voice suddenly transmitted over.
Without any time for him to react, he saw a black hole appear in the sky. Then, suddenly a small black cage was flung out of the black hole and fell into his hands.
The cage had a few small silhouettes in them.
One of them was a young girl in an earth-style mini-skirt. This girl had a head of waist-length black hair. She wore a super short pleated skirt, her face looked as delicate as a doll. She was sleeping soundly inside the cage.
The other two were a male with blood-red hair, down to even his eyebrows and beard; and a girl with long blue hair, and non-human eyes like embedded gems.
“Na… Nadia?!” Garen involuntarily reminisced of the Nine-Headed Dragon King he encountered back in the Blood Breed World.
After a few more looks at the beautiful young girl in the cage, he confirmed that she gave off the same impression as when he first saw Nadia. If not for him acquiring the Holy Phoenix Scriptures at the end, he most likely would not be able to deal with Nadia's projection back then.
“Is that a Demon King? A Demon King Level Existence?” The other two were still awake as they seemingly made out Garen's ident.i.ty.
“Your Respected Excellency, although we were once pursuers, now that the Void has been unified, there are no longer any factions. We will pledge our lives to serve you, Your Excellency!”
The man loudly begged. He seemed to sense Garen's ident.i.ty as a Void Pursuer, his face suddenly revealing a joyous expression.
“Are you guys Void Pursuers?” Garen asked softly in the Ancient Endor language.
“Yes, my name is Rosta, she is my companion Elphis. This one here is one of our targets in the past the Nine-Headed Dragon King Nadia. However, now…” The man Rosta laughed bitterly. This former great enemy was nothing more than an ant in the hands of the powerful creatures of this world.
They were the last remnants of the Ancient Endorian Civilization. They had always fought at the frontlines to secure and protect Ancient Endor's legacy. They had almost ended the Warlock's legacy completely, but they did not expect the Mother Stream's power to suddenly increase and pulled out a large number of True Soul Imprints that were almost fading away and ejected them with power. Within a brief moment, countless True Souls surged into the Mother Stream, the Warlock's Civilizations seemed to have returned to its golden era. Their mission had then came to an end.
Originally, they thought that Ancient Endor and the Void would once again have a ma.s.sive war, but no one expected that both parties united and formed the two organizations, Void Temple and Mother Stream Alliance, joining forces to invade an extremely huge world.
After being captured by a Void Demon King, they were forced to be shot into this world as a test shot, without any hopes of returning alive but miraculously they survived.
“Nadia… She's actually the Nine-Headed Dragon King, huh?” Garen smiled. After coming to this world for such a long time, he had finally seen someone who had fallen as much as him from the start.
In the beginning, the Nine-Headed Dragon King Nadia did bully him a lot.
Now, looking at the Nadia inside the cage, Garen could not help but let out a grin filled with bad intentions.
From his point of view, although Nadia's power was excessively strong, with his current physique she was nothing more than an ant. It was like the difference between an Army Level with a Demon King Level, especially in terms of resistance. A Demon King would be able to resist most special abilities an Army Level threw at him, but an Army Level would not be able to defend against the various special abilities of a Demon King Level. The two also had ordered soul suppression. When facing off, their attributes would be suppressed to a certain level.
With Garen's current Demon King Level, to defeat Nadia, just the ordered suppression would be enough to suppress most of her abilities to the original degree of the most basic Army Level.
In other words, the Garen now just had to purely rely on the attack based on the natural law of physics to completely crush her like an ant.
“Understood, I didn't think I would get a bonus reward this time around.” Garen kept the cage and with a slash with both of his arms, he ripped open the s.p.a.ce in front of him. Walking in, he arrived inside his Cold Winter Tower.
The Cold Winter Tower had already been transported over to the Dragon King Mountain. This type of top-level Wizard Tower was almost like a battles.h.i.+p fortress, it could move freely through s.p.a.ce. However, the number of resources needed was slightly high. But to Garen, there was nothing money could not solve!
