Chapter 1360: Massacre and Divinity 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The White Dragon Mountain had requested a hunting order towards the Dragon Clan Alliance as the major churches had sent out their elite forces to work together.
There was evidence stating that Garen had achieved the peak of mortals, which was Level Fifteen. In fact, Tiamat’s oracle might have suggested that Garen had already obtained the Demigod’s Divinity.
A Level Fifteen Demigod Powerhouse would be impossible to be chained or killed without a Clone of God or three similarly powerful powerhouses surrounding him.
However, as the Gods were being suppressed by the Void in the overall situation, the Pantheons were still facing the constant destruction imposed by the three major Void beings. The Eye of the Slaughter seemed to have been revived as he was spreading the Evil Eye Church within the inner region of the Element Plane and he had also swallowed the Big Mistress’ Church in the Abyss.
The Fallen True Soul seemed to have acted on his own as well as he started to spread something across the Primary Plane.
The Distortion Demon Master who was the only who knew his place had even started to gather and invading the lands. He had already occupied more than half of the lands in the eastern empires.
The Pantheons had formed an alliance and sent out a united group of incarnated armies to retaliate against the Distortion Demon Master. Ultimately, the battle reached a stalemate and they had barely stopped the Demon Master’s Void Armies from advancing their invasion.
Under these circumstances, the Church Pantheon basically did not have the power to deal with Garen. They had no choice but to let the Dragon Clan Alliance to handle the situation.
The death from the war spread across the world as it covered the sky.
The True Souls and Demon Masters started to come out from the Distorted Void Crevice. The majority of the True Souls and Demon Masters did not belong to any organization. They were merely here to kill and increase their own strengths.
These monsters were even more terrifying than the Disaster of Dragons. They killed everything wherever they went as they did not want any witnesses to tell the tale. These massacres were similar to swallowing everything up as even their souls were not spared during the massacres.
Hence, these had caused a huge discontent from the Abyss and Hell.
The rumors of the Child of Hell has started to spread across the globe as a solid line of defense that spanned hundreds of kilometers was swiftly formed. This divine defensive line was very effective in preventing the advancement of the Void Creatures. As the Gods joined forces to cast an extremely huge Void Detection Spell and an actual Higher Divine Soul had descended into the mortal realm.
The God of the Sun, Osiris had brought his Blazing Legion from the Heavens. His Divine Kingdom could be seen through a portal which appeared just behind the divine defensive line. A swarm of Blazing Angels flew out of the entrance as they joined in the intense battle against the Void Creatures.
Garen, on the other hand, was currently in a district just outside of the divine defensive line, which was located within the swarm of Void Creatures.
The battle became more chaotic as death and blood spread about. The majority of the people in many cities started to flee. The number of people fleeing from the city grew further as the size of the city increased.
Many Teleportation Portals appeared on the Primary Plane as the Gods opened up the channels connecting the Upper Inner Plane to the Primary Plane. Countless of Elemental Armies, a variety of legions from different factions, Heavenly Creatures, Hell Creatures, Abyss Armies, and so on gushed out from the portals.
All of them had joined in the battle against the Void Creatures.
As Garen was wreaking havoc and searching for the Fragments of the Inspired Soul, the local forces had gained a slight advantage in the battlefield. However, a huge number of lower level citizens were massacred by the Void Creatures, causing a reduction in production as many cultivated lands were left unmanned. Hence, this had caused the gradual disappearance in logistics as well.
The number of humans was drastically reduced in this chaos and what had replaced them were the main clans from the higher plane. One of them that had become the majority was the armies of different layers from the Abyss and Hell.
The reincarnation of the Gods, Demon Masters, True Souls, Thane of Hell, and the Thane of Abyss. All of them whose existence only seen in the form of names in the ancient records had started appearing. They appeared in the Primary Plane as they killed each other in the sky, throwing the entire Primary Plane into blood and fire.
*************
An incredible huge grey snake’s corpse was floating in the evening sky.
The snake covered half of the sky. Two bloody sockets were left behind as the eyes had been taken out. Its body was filled with densely packed white thorns and some of these thorns had already snapped in half.
It was still oozing out black gas around its body and this had frightened other living beings from getting near to its corpse.
Garen lowered his head as he looked away.
He quietly avoided the forces that way after him as he arrived at an inconspicuous area.
It was a coastline by the south.
A huge battle had just occurred here recently and that huge snake corpse which had covered half of the entire sky was the corpse of the True Soul which had fallen here. Its corpse was still oozing out a horrifying deadly aura even though it was dead for dozens of days. Any living being which had been infected by it would immediately grow old and die.
Garen strolled about alone by the port of the completely silent Crystal City.
This city was already dead as it was covered by the auras of True Souls and Gods during their battles here. All beings of Level Eight and below were instantly killed.
“Two Demon Masters and one True Soul had fallen here. Naturally, our battle result is glorious as well since we’ve managed to kill five Divine Souls and one of them was a Middle God.” A voice of a young woman appeared beside Garen’s ears. “We’re responsible in cleaning up the aftermath. The Soul Fragments you’re searching fall does not lie here and even if it does, it has already been taken as well. However, this is the best place to obtain the inspiration of the Death and Decaying Divinity as the Divine Souls, True Souls, and Demon Masters who had fallen here are related to the two Divinities.”
“Thanks.” Garen nodded. The one who spoke to him was one of the Demon Masters of the Mother Stream Alliance responsible in this region. He found out about this place and purposely came here in hope to obtain some gains as he had received intel from the Snake Princess.
He had massacred over fifty thousand lives. Garen’s reputation had spread across the entire northern region as he became one of the strongest Demon Masters. Although he was still not the strongest, he was the most discreet when it came to killing. His melody of massacre did not contain any signs of spell as he would be able to force countless of people to commit suicide purely by sound hypnosis.
This was the main reason he became notorious.
“Alright. I’ll mind my own business and you should as well,” Garen replied softly.
“It’s nothing. I should be thanking you for giving me more work.” The woman started to laugh softly as her voice gradually faded.
At the port of the Crystal City, the most famous landmark building was the gigantic glass tower located at the center of the port.
It was the Wizard Tower that controlled the entire city’s central region, the Crystal Tower. It was managed by the City Master who was a Level Fifteen Great Arcanist.
Garen looked over at the Crystal Tower which looked like a broken wooden stick as the top half had already fallen onto the abandoned buildings beside it.
It looked like it was broken beyond repair.
It was also the place where the presence of Divinity was the strongest.
He blinked his eyes.
“Let’s do it.”
‘Beginning to scan for traces of Divine Power…” His consciousness had finally able to create an effect towards the external surrounding.
Its sensation surpassed Garen’s by dozens of magnitude as it utilized Garen’s current sensation and response towards the traces of spells.
It was able to quickly find any clues no matter how subtle it was.
Garen walked slowly towards the Crystal Tower in this ruins.
Both sides were filled with the lifeless white buildings which the majority of them had spired at the very top. The body of the buildings was filled with dome-shaped windows and the streets beside them were filled with the wilted corpses, shirts, broken stone or copper sculptures and so on.
As he walked past a pond, he could see it was polluted with black and rancid fluid. The birds which had died and floated in the pond did not have any maggots or flies feasting on their carcasses.
‘Traces of Death Divinity has been detected… Divinity Radiation Level 11%… 15%…’
Garen stopped moving as he pondered for a while before moving on.
‘Radiation is increasing… 21%… 27%… 30%.”
Garen halted once more. He raised his hands and he could see traces of his skin wilting. What was originally a well-stacked skin had started to wrinkle.
“What powerful energy… To be able to affect me in such a huge manner even when the battle has ended long ago. It is truly a battle of the True Soul Level.” Garen gasped.
“This place should be able to increase my deconstruction of the Decaying Divinity.” Garen sat on his knees.
He sat quietly as he felt the remaining residue of the energy and its aura.
His brain then started to compute at high speed.
Garen’s Soul Limit had already reached two hundred and sixty points. The Despair Skull had given him Potential Points as it absorbed the souls whereas the Death Bracelet had absorbed the fragments while providing him Soul Seeds and Soul Energy.
Both were able to bring out the best in each other.
The first thing Garen increased was his Intelligence as it was the key in his brain’s computing power. Two hundred and sixty points worth of Intelligence would provide him an incredible fast computing power.
The deconstruction of the Decaying Divinity had reached the critical stage. If he were to succeed, he would be able to fully understand the root of decomposition and construct a Divine Persona based on the decomposition.
“Perhaps the other Demon Masters have their ways in dissecting this issue, they definitely don’t have the computing ability that is as advanced as mine. My computing power is countless times faster than theirs and even I need such a long time to barely able to deconstruct a rather reclusive Divinity. If it were them…” Garen’s method was completely unique and inimitable.
He loosened up and emptied his mind as he focused his energy on his computing power.
“What a chaotic era…”
Garen gave off a gentle sigh as the Enneahedron in front of his chest shattered, forming into pure energy that had entered his brain.
It was one of the ways to use the Enneahedron. This pure energy could be used to evolve or increase any aspect of his body, including computing power.
The energy of fifty thousand living beings that were massacred instantly nourished Garen’s brain to the point where veins started popping up on his face.
Buzz!
A black halo slowly appeared behind Garen’s head. The halo contained countless algorithms that were densely packed together as it started to spin slowly.
‘Obtained an unknown source of energy, computing power is now greatly enhanced…” A message appeared in his mind and it was immediately dismissed.
The black halo behind Garen’s head started to spin faster over time.
Pew pew pew!!
Suddenly, the halo gave off a big amount of black rays as they spread across all directions. These streaks of light were like iron as it penetrated through the grounds and Voids.
It then started to absorb the surrounding nutrients like a giant tree’s root.
As Garen saw this, his slightly surprised and pondering expressions were written all over his face.
He then shut his eyes and immersed himself into computing once more.
As he took his posture, he had sat down for ten days.
