Amanda disappeared into a screen of golden light.
Saint George stood silently as the glow of calculations constantly flashed through his eyes.
“Destiny is ready to sacrifice the Lord and allow the Purgatory Gods to obtain his power to fight against Apophis!
“In fact, destiny is slightly more favorable towards the two Evil Gods. However, the Lord still has powerful strength and gave me the authority to control the God Nation.
“With this, there’s an opportunity to retaliate!
“I can increase the divinity in this Son of Purgatory and allow her to contend against the two Evil Gods, causing destiny’s powers to confuse each other and gain some time for the Lord!”
In reality, the reason why destiny made this decision was simply because it needed an existence that could resist Apophis.
As for who it was in the end, that was completely unimportant.
Pope George knew a huge secret.
The deep sleep of the Sun God was indeed partially due to the huge injuries received saving the world. However, it was also partially due to refining the divinity!
As an experienced God, as early as the Evil Demons had appeared, he had obtained huge amounts of data on divinity from the Purgatory.
After experiencing the might of origin power and the difficulty in dealing with the Nine Tier Purgatory, he chose to detour.
What he needed to refine was obviously not the kind the Sons of Purgatory had. Instead, it was to completely dispel the imprints in divinity left behind by Fang Yuan or, in other words, to defeat Apophis’ will!
It was precisely because of this that Ramon would choose to be in deep sleep inside the Demon Territory.
Yet it was only now that he had just realized a huge problem within!
“Apophis is really too crafty!”
Thinking of Ramon’s oracle from before, Saint George’s face changed. “An existence that is a Legend or above is basically unable to entirely refine divinity. That’s because they have to accept the reconstruction of divinity when they’re still ordinary in order to be able to truly integrate... The Lord is stuck on this step, so he needs an apotheosized Son of Purgatory to be the sacrifice in order to entirely digest this divinity!”
There were perhaps other Sons of Purgatory that had secretly apotheosized, but at the moment, there were only two who had entered the Sun God’s God Nation, death and slaughter!
“The Lord has been long prepared. With the foundations of the God Nation, even a True God could fall... But we still need more divinity to interfere with the power of destiny carried by the Evil Gods!”
As he was thinking, George waved his hand and a wary one-eyed man appeared. It was actually Lauder.
“Who are you? What do you want to do?” Apprehensive, Lauder caused the scimitar in hand to release a scarlet glow.
“I am the Sun God’s Pope George. Son of Purgatory, do you want to become a Legend and apotheosize?”
Looking at him, Saint George’s face was completely still. He was tempting Lauder with profits and power to get him to obediently agree.
He had used this tactic to attract many Deities over to him. Be it through suppression or persuasion, they had all entered the golden pond’s bottom.
Kaboom!
After a while, the faint outline of a golden palace appeared.
“It’s sufficient! This is faster than expected. Seems that the power of destiny in that female archer is quite dense!”
A gleam flashed through Saint George’s eyes as the images in the air merged and revealed the outlines of Jay and Zorro.
However, even at this moment when he was preparing to act against the Evil Gods, he did not notice any abnormalities in Fang Yuan at all, even unable to monitor him, as if he had completely disregarded him.
...
“It’s not here either!”
Jay had transformed into an Evil Demon and completely destroyed a giant pyramid.
“After becoming a God not long ago, I am still far inferior to other Gods in terms of experience constructing a God Nation and the foundations of rule comprehension! However, I also have my own advantages, which is powerful strength!
“These pyramids are definitely the foundations of the Sun God’s God Nation. If I destroy them one by one, I’ll completely destroy its defenses and reveal the true core!”
Although this method was desperate and clumsy, it was indeed effective.
After destroying nine pyramids, Jay suddenly discovered that he was sensing and dismantling pyramids faster.
“I found another one. Hmm?”
After rushing over to the next target, Jay’s pupils shrank and did not make a move.
“We finally meet, my blood brother!”
Slaughter God Zorro slowly walked out from the other side of the pyramid. “Seems like it’s the deliberate arrangements of the Sun God or his subordinates.”
“Slaughter God!” Jay saw Zorro, but his face was instead cold. “I noticed you when you were apotheosizing. You’re quite good as the second apotheosized Son of Purgatory, but still worse than me.”
“I don’t think so.” Zorro laughed slightly.
“... You thought that I wouldn’t notice the men you planted in my team?” Jay laughed viciously. “I’ve already secretly marked those people. The only thing they’ll be encountering is death.”
“I never expected much of them... If they could create even a little trouble for you, that’s already good.” Zorro brandished a black dagger. “Then, my dear elder brother, do you want to fall into their plot and fight me here?”
“Even if it’s a plot, it’s nothing much! Could it be that as the Slaughter God, you’re still scared of this?” Jay laughed weirdly, looking toward Zorro with a greedy look. “It doesn’t matter even if it’s a plot. It’s our fate as Sons of Purgatory is to kill each other when we meet!”
He was clear that as long as he killed this Slaughter God and obtained the Godhood and divinity from him, he would not have much to fear even if the Sun God recovered.
All of the divinity is mine!
A cold light flashed through Jay’s pupils as he suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at Zorro. “Death Wither!”
Bang!
Seemingly having teleported, a dark light appeared and struck Zorro.
The black robed person instantly decayed and turned into ashes before scattering away.
“Incarnation, huh?” Jay did not have a trace of happiness from winning, instead staring at where Zorro had decayed while frowning.
“My understanding toward slaughter is like your’s toward death!” In another location, Zorro’s figure slowly appeared. “I have eighteen slaughter clones, and any killed will immediately recover!”
“A truly very irritating ability!”
Jay suddenly transformed into a large Evil Demon and flapped his huge wings that looked like two black shields, blocking the slashes of the two ‘Zorros’ from behind.
“Stop probing uselessly. As Gods, the techniques of mortals are practically ineffective against us.”
Jay roared, the illusion of a nation abruptly appearing behind him.
That was a God Nation that was overcast with dark clouds. Many dead spirits, zombies, skeletons, and bone dragons gathered, forming a nation for the souls of the dead.
“Are we competing in foundations? I inherited everything from the Slaughter God, and his God Nation may not necessarily be inferior to the Death God’s!”
Zorro gritted his teeth, and a dark red domain opened.
The illusions of the God Nations were vast and magnificent, even dispelling the glimmers of the Sun God Nation, and were like two giant beasts fiercely tearing each other apart.
...
“Yes! Yes! Just like this... mutually exhaust yourselves!”
On the golden sacred mountain, George looked at this and was nearly so ecstatic that he started dancing. “Truly, the Sons of Purgatory are all fools, their minds filled with the desire to kill! This is good too. Doing this will save me a lot of effort.
“Fight! Fight! Fight until you’re both heavily injured, until it’s time for my harvest!” he said, staring at the image that was starting to be covered by the God Nations’ illusions.
...
Unfortunately, this expectation of George was not fulfilled.
The next instant, two light pillars broke through the obstructions and flagrantly descended onto the golden sacred mountain before materializing into two God Nation illusions. One was filled with slaughter, while the other carried the aura of death.
“You?!” George was filled with anger and astonishment.
“Hehe... There really was someone making arrangements in the dark!”
Zorro glanced at the golden sacred mountain and George. “Petitioners, God guards, and a Pope... Seems that the Sun God is sleeping here!”
“Even though you’re a sacred spirit, you dared plot against True Gods and must pay the price!” Jay stared at George and declared, “I bestow upon you... death!”
Rumble!
George’s face changed, and cracks started appearing on his sacred spirit body.
At this moment, a sacred light appeared behind him, and the platinum holy robe he was wearing automatically burst into pieces.
After the platinum holy robe was destroyed, George’s sacred spirit body finally stabilized as he stared at Jay in horror.
“Artifact? Seems like there are many good things here!” Jay frowned. “Zorro, let’s attack together and break this sacred mountain! As for splitting benefits, we’ll do it after confirming the death of the Sun God. How about it?”
“Sounds good. My thoughts exactly!”
Zorro laughed out loud, and a dark red light engulfed everything like the tides. Many petitioners were swept into the tides and were instantly utterly destroyed, disappearing without a trace.
“Sun God Guards!”
George shouted loudly as dozens of golden guards suddenly flew out from the giant golden mountain. They wore golden armor, had extraordinary valor, and the powers and fluctuations of Legends. They were actually the past powerful believers of the Sun God.
Taking advantage of the opportunity they bought, George arrived beside the sacred pond and jumped toward the illusion of the golden palace.
Kaboom!
The palace immediately solidified and emitted horrifying fluctuations.
“An artifact palace?”
Jay casually pointed, and a Sun God Guard suddenly stagnated as its body split.
However, the next moment, an identical guard once more flew out from the Sun God Palace.
Not only that, a golden curtain abruptly came from the palace and engulfed downward, wrapping the entire golden sacred mountain within.
Rays of enhancements landed on the Sun God Guards, causing them to become even more difficult to deal with.
“The archetype of these Sun God Guards are all renowned Legends. Under the enhancements of the palace, they’re on par with Half-Gods that have ignited their divine fire! Furthermore, they can constantly revive...”
Zorro flashed, cut off a guard’s head, and saw the corpse transforming into golden sand and then quickly fly out from the palace unharmed. He nodded. “Seems like this Sun God Palace is the God Nation’s final defense!”
