Chapter 444 - - 429 The Tongue of Beguilement_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“We’re running out of time. The Evil God has already infiltrated the Mortal Realm, and there’s not much time left for us. Once someone awakens the other Ancient Deities, even the Solar God might be roused,” Duge shook his head.

Actually.

He wasn’t overly concerned about the fivefold disparity; whether it was in the simulation arena or on the Alien Battlefield, he had numerous experiences in battling against higher-ranked opponents.

The gap this time was only fivefold.

To be honest, the fact that the Solar God was this weak was beyond his expectations, almost like a pleasant surprise.

He had only entered the Alien Battlefield twice, whereas the Solar God had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Now what Duge lacked was merely a stronger ability, or rather, a more suitable partner.

…

It was more fitting for the Ancient Deities to confront the Evil God,

Instead of dealing with the Evil God, first by eliminating our own powerful God Spirits…

All the Archangels understood this principle.

But at this moment, none of the uneasy Archangels contradicted Duge; they weren’t afraid of the Solar God, but they feared being secretly targeted by Duge’s insidious abilities.

“It would be great if an Evil God could corrupt the Solar God,” Remiel said.

Without an Evil God, and with the Sea God not dead, Reilir glanced at his foolish brother and sneered internally, the Evil God is King Holley, isn’t it!

“The Forest God has cultivated a highly toxic herb that, after verification, can weaken a God Spirit’s Divine Power by half within a short period,” Phyra suddenly said, looking towards Duge.

“You…” Reilir’s eyes widened, “Phyra, are you in collusion with the Forest God to…”

“Nobody wants the Ancient Gods to awaken, not even the Forest God, who doesn’t want a deity looming over him who could suppress him at any time,” Phyra revealed her deepest secrets, going all out, “A long time ago, the Forest God once tempted me to kill the Solar God and take his place.

He thought Miller and I really each possessed half of the Solar God’s Divine Power. By weakening the Solar God, he could kill him, but he didn’t know that even if the Solar God was only left with one-tenth of his strength, I would still be no match for him, so I didn’t agree. I’ve been blackmailing him with this secret to make him work for me…”

She looked at Duge, “I can go to the Forest God to get the herb and also bring the Forest God himself as a helper.”

This would reduce their power by half!

Duge’s eyes lit up as he looked at the other Angels and said, “Many hands make light work. What about you? Do you have any good methods?”

“I can ask The God of Craftsmen for his God-slaying Sword and armor of defense,” Taimel said, “His armor can fend off the scorching flames of the sun.”

“I can bring the Prairie God to fight alongside us,” Averill said, “He’s infatuated with my body and does whatever I ask…”

“I also could try to unite with other God Spirits,” Remiel shrugged, “But doing so is extremely risky, and I can’t guarantee their loyalty…”

“Then let’s not do something so risky,” Duge cut off Remiel and turned to Averill, “Also, that Prairie God, if he can’t even beat Miller, there’s no need for him to help in the fight. However, the poison from the Forest God and the sword and armor from The God of Craftsmen should be acquired as soon as possible. If The God of Craftsmen has any other appropriate artifacts, they can be brought over too…”

“Hmm,” Taimel and Miller nodded in agreement, but neither moved. They exchanged glances and Taimel asked, “Holley, if we truly kill the Solar God, how will you treat us?”

“You will still be Archangels,” Duge said with a smile, “But with much greater authority. Moreover, everyone can benefit from the fallen body of the Solar God.”

“What benefits?” Miller asked.

“You don’t think that the fall of Ancient Deities is the same as the death of mortals, do you!” Duge looked around at everyone and smiled, “What do you think I got this Sea God’s Power from?”

With that said,

Everyone was stunned.

Even Reilir, who knew Duge’s details, was wavering at this point. He even began to doubt if Duge had really killed the Sea God…

Nobb sighed faintly, the story was getting more and more elaborate, you really aren’t afraid of them seeking proof!

“An Ancient God’s entire being is a treasure,” Duge said, “The Solar God’s divine blood, even his flesh and bones, can greatly enhance you. If you’re lucky, one of you might even inherit the Divine Power of the Solar God and become the new Solar God, just like me.”

All the Angels held their breath at the same time.

They were the most powerful Angels with extremely long lives, but not without an end. However, God Spirits had no such end.

Becoming the Solar God meant they could live eternally, forever revered by others, and worshipped…

“Is that true?” Phyra asked.

“Of course it’s true,” Duge nodded.

“How did you become the Sea God?” Miller asked.

“When my sword pierced the heart of the Sea God, his fresh blood sprayed into my mouth, cleansing my body, and then, I naturally possessed the Sea God’s Power,” Duge said. “I don’t know if the divine inheritance of the Solar God is any different from that of the Sea God, but you can also try it.

I already have the Sea God’s Power, so it’s highly unlikely that I can inherit the Solar God’s Power too, but you can.

As long as you don’t shrink back during the fight, the opportunity is fair for everyone. Maybe each and every one of you can become a Solar God. Who says there must be only one Solar God, right?”

In the midst of the increasingly heated gazes of the Archangels, Duge smiled and said, “In any case, no matter which of you becomes the new Solar God, I will give you my most sincere blessings. That is my promise.

Do not feel guilty in your hearts. What good is a God Spirit who bears a title but sleeps all day long?

We kill him to better serve this world. Once we all become Solar Gods, we will unite to drive out the Evil Gods from the Mortal Realm, establish new prestige for the new God Spirits, and make you truly recognized as God Spirits…”

Duge hadn’t forgotten his own nature and casually pinned a hat of sin on the sleeping Solar God.

Listening to the increasingly rapid heartbeats of the surrounding Archangels, Duge smiled and continued to entice: “Of course, there is the worst possibility that only one person becomes the new Solar God.

But don’t forget, there are also the sleeping God of Death, Moon God, Earth God, and Element God.

To kill one is to kill, and to kill four is also to kill. Everyone has the chance to become one of these God Spirits. After all, our experience will only grow more abundant, and our strength will grow stronger, won’t it?”

…

If initially the deicide was compelled by the fear of exposure of their crimes, now, with a new motive, all the Archangels exhibited initiative. Each of them believed they had the chance to become the new Solar God.

Duge was right; no one stipulated there must be only one Solar God.

Moreover, aside from the Solar God, there were three other sleeping Ancient Deities. With nine Archangels, the chance for one-third of them to become a God Spirit was worth everyone’s gamble!

…

Suddenly, all the Angels busied themselves, preparing for the God-slaying.

Duge took Reilir and Nobb away from Bordeluna, headed to other kingdoms in search of Alien Warriors.

The Archangels indeed offered various methods, but Duge hoped more for the skills of Alien Warriors, preferably his own people from Qiyuan Star, as that would be safer in a fight.

The herbs of the Forest God can only weaken half of the Solar God’s Divine Power, and even with only half remaining, he was still stronger than him.

The Archangels are too weak; in the battle of gods, they could probably only play the role of a cheerleading team…

…

Reilir drove the Chariot of the Solar God and asked with a trembling voice, “King Holley, are you telling the truth?”

“What?” Duge asked back.

“After killing a god, will you inherit their Divine Power?” Reilir inquired.

“Of course,” Duge nodded.

“But you didn’t kill the Sea God…” Reilir stammered.

“I killed a Sea God, just not one from this world,” Duge laughed.

“…” Reilir was stunned, his incredulity towards Duge giving way to reasonable explanations for his doubts at that moment.

Duge glanced at him and continued, “Reilir, the Solar God is an Ancient Deity. When he was born, the Divine Power that dispersed could create sanctified places like Bordeluna, and your Holy Pool can heal your wounds. A tree that lives for tens of thousands of years becomes a treasure of heaven and earth, and what of an Ancient Deity? The method of inheriting from Ancient Deities that I’ve mentioned is indeed one of them. Trust me, I’m not wrong.”

Reilir swallowed hard, silently driving the chariot, but it was apparent he had become somewhat distracted.

“Reilir, the Sea God of this world isn’t dead,” Duge’s manipulative voice continued to resonate. “They don’t know, but you do. This actually means another opportunity for inheritance, doesn’t it?”

Nobb licked his lips and sighed silently, marveling at how Duge had played so many Archangels with just a few words, even planning out the path for the upcoming deicide.

As long as the Solar God was successfully killed, none of the remaining God Spirits would escape. With Duge’s pace, none would even dream of harnessing the Ancient Gods’ spiritual power.

No wonder his spiritual power was so high. Madness!
