Chapter 462 - - 439 Hurrying will not achieve success_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Moreover, whether it was because of his own propaganda on the road or the angels of Bordeluna had taken effect, Duge’s attributes had increased significantly.

He was no longer as embarrassingly inept when dealing with the Moon God as before, and in fact, seemed quite skilled to perfection.

Indeed, Duge’s divine power could not catch up to the Moon God’s, but don’t forget, they also had the assistance of half a Solar God. The divine power contained within the three severed limbs of the Solar God seemed infinite, showing little depletion even after a full day’s battle.

What’s vital is that the Frost Dragon was not a God Spirit; being continuously drilled by the Solar Divine Power, its internal organs had suffered severe damage, and it was flying slower and slower.

Now, the body of the Frost Dragon was enveloped in a layer of moonlight, which must be the Moon God using his own divine power to assist its flight and heal its injuries.

“Raphael, do you know of any other sleeping places of the Ancient Deities?” Duge asked Raphael casually while he left the driving of the Chariot of the Solar God to Nobb and Andy, standing on the roof of the chariot himself.

“I don’t know.”

Raphael shook his head with a gloomy face.

When he saw the Moon God healing the Frost Dragon, he finally realized that the Moon God might not have been corrupted by the Evil God; all of it might be the mischief of the man beside him, but by now, he was already riding the tiger and found it hard to dismount.

Raphael’s biggest worry now was that Holley and Duge of the Demon Realm were in cahoots.

The Solar God had already fallen, and if they were to lead the Moon God into the Demon Realm, and if the Moon God also perished as a result, only three Ancient Deities would be left in the Mortal Realm, likely incapable of resisting the invasion of the Demon Realm.

In that case, he would truly become the sinner of the Mortal Realm.

At this moment, the Moon God probably also had an enlightenment, realizing that she couldn’t kill Duge on her own. Thus, as they passed through a forest, she hesitated for a moment, then suddenly changed direction, steering the Frost Dragon without any hesitation towards the south.

Nobb and the others had no idea what was happening behind them and continued to drive the Chariot of the Solar God ahead at full speed, quickly increasing the distance from the Moon God.

Raphael breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fuck!” Duge cursed and quickly teleported back to seize the controlling rights of the Chariot of the Solar God from Nobb’s hands, bringing it to a halt. But with that sudden change of direction, he knew he wouldn’t be able to catch up to the Moon God.

“Phyra, what’s to the south?” Duge asked.

“The ocean,” Phyra replied.

Sea God!

Duge instantly understood the Moon God’s intention. He looked in the direction the Moon God had left, his face shifting with unsettled emotions, yet he did not drive the Chariot of the Solar God to pursue. He hadn’t forgotten the disparity in strength between them; catching up wouldn’t mean he could win, and if he let the Moon God and the Sea God unite, it would be like walking into a trap…

“Brother Du, what should we do?” Nobb asked. “If the Moon God awakens the Sea God, and the two of them ally, we might not stand a chance against them.”

“The worst fear is that they could also awaken the Element God and the Earth God,” Phyra added somberly. “By then, all the angels of Bordeluna combined won’t stand a chance against them…”

Too greedy, alas!

Duge sat atop the Chariot of the Solar God, lost in thought.

If, after he killed the Solar God, he hadn’t been so hasty and had instead taken his time to slowly manipulate Raphael, leading the angel army to the Heaven-Demon Battlefield to incite a divine-demon war, would the situation be better than it is now?

Although doing so means losing the 400,000 units of spiritual power required to awaken the Ancient Deities, at least it ensures that the 300,000 units of spiritual power needed to trigger the Heaven-Demon War will be secured…

The world is so vast, to claim all the spiritual power rewards from Pan-Universe Entertainment for oneself has never been an easy feat.

The most crucial point is that once the four Ancient Deities assemble and prove that they haven’t been corrupted by the Evil God, the upright image he constructed for himself would instantly crumble, and all his attributes might plummet…

Stripped of the regenerative abilities conferred by those attributes, relying solely on Divine Power and skills, he might be able to deal with Alien Warriors, but would definitely be no match against the four Ancient Deities combined.

For the first time, Duge had driven himself into a corner,

Indeed, greed is the original sin.

The battlefield of Alien Warriors possessing God Spirits is not something that can be conquered by rushing, he was overly arrogant!

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Duge, facing so many errors even when dealing with the God Spirits of the Alien Battlefield, what about the more powerful Pan-Universe Entertainment?

Can he truly rebel with just the Split Soul skill?

Ten planets, perhaps centuries of struggle, has not a single capable person emerged?

Winning a few battles on the Alien Battlefield made him feel like he could take on Pan-Universe Entertainment, too blindly confident, too optimistic!

“Brother Du, what are you thinking about?” Nobb asked.

“I’m reflecting,” Duge glanced at him with a faint smile and said, “Let’s go, pay no mind to the Moon God anymore, head to the Heaven-Demon Battlefield…”

At that moment, Duge had fully regained his composure.

“Are we just going to ignore those Ancient Deities?” Phyra asked, “The Moon God knows we killed the Solar God, and once they join forces…”

“I know,” Duge interrupted him, smiling, “But the safety of the Mortal Realm is more important. The Ancient Deities may abandon the upcoming Heaven-Demon War for personal gains, but we can’t, we must keep the Demon Realm’s army at bay, outside the Mortal Realm.”

“…” Phyra stared at Duge as if he didn’t recognize him anymore. Had he been playing the Divine King too long, forgetting he was actually an Evil God?

Raphael jolted: “Holley, you…”

“Raphael, I know what you’ve always been thinking, you’ve never trusted me, but the enlightenment won’t be false,” Duge said with a smile, turning towards him, “Approaching the Heaven-Demon Battlefield, the Moon God has given up the chase which further proves she’s been corrupted by the Evil God because she wouldn’t fight against the Demon Kings but would devote her entire might to oppose me, the true hope of humanity.”

He sighed deeply, smiling wryly, “Being a hero is too difficult, if possible, I’d rather remain an ordinary youth forever!”

Raphael’s throat felt dry: “But if she’s been corrupted by the Evil God, wouldn’t it be easier for her to join the Demon Kings in the Demon Realm and kill you?”

“Raphael, you’re too naive!” Duge looked at Raphael with pity and shook his head, “Ruling the Mortal Realm in the name of Ancient Deities, people won’t resist. Once the public learns they are Evil Gods, what’s the point in corrupting the Ancient Deities? All human heroes, Acquired Deities, would rise to oppose them, for courage has never been in short supply throughout history. So, they must remain as Ancient Deities, for that image, they might even pretend to engage in a battle with the Demon Realm’s army…”

A heavy charge was firmly placed upon the heads of the Ancient Deities.

In agony, Raphael knelt before Duge, his face filled with sorrow: “Divine King, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”
