At the same time, Danason and Levis’ battle was destroying the terrain too. One of them had a Snake Tail Beast that was more than 200 meters tall, and the other was the son of the storm. Details of the battle could not be seen. One could only see the raging storms and the enormous shadow that passed through them.
The area in a radius of a dozen kilometers had been ruined by them. Mountains had been cut apart from the middle with pits here and there. It was utter destruction.
As time went by, their battle became fiercer and fiercer.
In other places, the battles were no less intense. Xiuban and Reina were surrounded and attacked by almost 10 holy light mages. Xiuban seemed scary with blood all over his body. There were wounds on his skin too.
He had been so infuriated by the holy light mages that he smashed a level-3 Heaven Rank holy light mage to death without defending himself against the attack of another six holy light mages. He smashed the guy into countless pieces so that the guy couldn’t recover. The cost was that his defense was broken, and he gained a few wounds that seemed rather scary.
Reina was quite cold too. The coldness that she emitted was already producing snowflakes. She had been driven mad by the holy light mages too.
After being cut apart from the waist, those guys could even sew their lower body back by themselves. Whoever fought them would be infuriated.
The battle between the Chester Family and the Storm Tower was just as heated. The battlefield of the Heaven Rank mages had already covered a radius of dozens of kilometers. As they moved, they ravaged everything in the range.
However, no matter how fierce the battles were, the egg in the center was still safe and sound. All the magic and shock waves that hit the egg were blocked easily. Nothing could possibly shake the egg…
The egg was immune to the battles. The Heaven Rank experts, who had been infuriated in the battle, had one fewer thing to worry about. They fought more and more crazily. All the mountains on the battlefield had been ruined and reduced to hills.
A lot of mines had been blown up, and many precious materials were destroyed, but nobody had the time to care about that.
Nobody paid attention to such details. Naturally, it escaped their attention that one drop of Xiuban’s blood happened to hit the surface of the egg when he flew past it while fighting the holy light mages.
The gray defense on the egg’s surface didn’t reject Xiuban’s blood as it rejected other things. Instead, it simply glittered, and let the blood pass the defense.
After passing through the defense, the drop of blood disappeared into the egg. Instantly, the vague sound of a heartbeat came out of the egg.
The power of gods only allowed things of the same nature to pass. The protection was like a piece of paper for gods, but for other creatures, it was an insurmountable barrier.
Xiuban had once bathed in the blood of gods, and then broken the blockage of the blood. He had also completely suppressed the power in the gods’ blood during the evolution to the Heaven Rank. His blood contained the power of gods!
Even though the power was extremely feeble compared to the blood of a real god, it had crossed the insurmountable barrier. At least, it counted as the power of gods.
Because of its unique feature, the drop of blood crossed the barrier, and melted into the egg.
Unfortunately, nobody noticed it, as the battle had reached the most heated moment…
Gradually, the heartbeat from the egg became louder and louder, as if a fetus was growing fast, and its small heart was growing mature.
Still, the heartbeat was eclipsed by the continuous explosions around. Nobody noticed it at all.
After the battle lasted half an hour, an unexpected accident finally happened. The gray defense on the surface of the giant egg dispersed without anyone realizing it. Cracks appeared on the egg’s surface, and dazzling brilliance emanated from the cracks. The space was enshrouded in a horrifying aura.
Everybody stopped fighting. Dalton flapped his wings and floated in the sky, gazing at the egg that had cracked. His spell missed the target by hundreds of meters, but he didn’t notice it at all.
Danason and Levis, who had been fighting a life-and-death battle, both stopped and stared at the cracks on the egg.
One of the holy light mages was so shocked that he forgot he was still fighting. He was smashed by Xiuban who had gone mad, and exploded. Another holy light mage was killed in the same way…
Everybody except Xiuban, who had gone berserk, was distracted by the egg. Xiuban, after killing the two holy light mages, suddenly detected something. His heart beat fast, and he couldn’t help but turn around and look at the egg.
The shocking incident continued to unfold. There were more and more cracks on the egg, and more and more dazzling light was erupting from the cracks. In the sky, the energy that contained fatal energy gathered into a vortex. From the center of the vortex, a tornado descended and hit the egg.
With a crack, an opening appeared on top of the egg, and endless light surged out. An irresistible pressure arose. Like a heavy stone on everybody’s soul, it suppressed everybody’s body, mana, and elemental power in the air. Nobody seemed able to resist at this moment.
Lin Yun gazed at the scenes, with a lot of questions popping up in his head.
What’s going on? Is the 73rd God reviving? Why is he suddenly reborn? Damn it, is the reborn 73rd God about to show up?
Has the 73rd God lost his mind in the passage of time? Does he want to kill all the intruders here in person? Or does he think this place is no longer safe?
His plan of resurrection has been half completed, and yet he is abandoning his thousands of years of efforts, and being reborn as a new creature?
Damn it, does he really think he can kill everybody here easily with a new reborn body?
Lin Yun was completely dumbfounded. Even if the 73rd God hadn’t intervened, as long as he was still conscious, he should know that all the intruders were trapped here, and nobody could possibly escape even if they didn’t die in each other’s hands.
If he had lost his consciousness, why would he abandon resurrection, and start transforming into another creature?
Lin Yun didn’t know what to say. He had no idea what was going on, either.
The brilliance emanating from the opening on top of the egg contained an abundant power of gods. It was continuously swallowing the energy that was gathered in the sky. But the energy wasn’t enough for a god to be resurrected; it was only enough for it to be reborn as another creature.
Even if he had accumulated a lot of strength for resurrection, after he was reborn, he would only be talented, but not too strong. Technically speaking, there would be four people who could kill the reborn 73rd God in this place.
Lin Yun was puzzled, but the others didn’t have any questions. Dalton, in particular, had always believed that the god was being reborn, and now just appeared…
Dalton’s face was full of greed. The fire of greed was burning in his eyes. He glanced at Lin Yun with killing intent.
Mafa Merlin, that greedy devil and smelly maggot. The fact is so obvious, yet he claimed that the god was being resurrected instead of reborn.
That’s truly the most hilarious joke. Even the most stupid moles in the desert would’ve laughed their a*ses off when they heard the joke.
The god wants to be resurrected? You must be kidding. It’ll be remarkable if he can be reborn. There’s no way that any god can be resurrected. How could Mafa Merlin have possibly said that?
Just wait for it. All I need to do is wait for the god to be reborn. Then, he’ll see me, and I’ll take him away. It will be fine even if the entire Noscent becomes my enemy. He is destined to ignite the God Fire!
Dalton stared at the giant egg, and so did everybody else.
Danason glanced at Lin Yun with a cold, mocking smile, but when he looked at Dalton, his smile turned into killing intent.
Flames of greed were also burning in Levis’ eyes, but he was a little bit confused.
Mafa Merlin didn’t seem to be lying when he claimed that this unknown god was trying to revive. However, the god is about to be reborn successfully.
Never mind. Nobody wouldn’t be greedy about a reborn god. Mafa Merlin must’ve done that for the reborn god. However, it remains unknown who can take away the reborn god.
Everybody waited quietly for the reborn god to emerge. At this moment, everybody knew that they would be torn into shreds by the horrifying power if they dashed forward. Just an examination of the energy made them realize that it was too powerful for them to touch.
Time went by bit by bit. Everybody waited to run forward the moment the thing inside the egg was born. The very first person that a reborn god saw was as important as the first person that a newborn beast saw. If the god had been reborn as some sort of beast, then it would probably go with whoever it saw first. Nobody else could take him away.
Unfortunately, nobody knew which direction the creature inside the egg was facing. It was purely a matter of luck.
More than half an hour later, the magnificent energy that fell from the top of the egg was gone. There were more and more cracks on the surface of the egg. The light from the cracks became more and more dazzling.
All of a sudden, the light from the cracks became even more dazzling, and enshrouded the entire egg. Facing the emanating brilliance, everybody had to back off a little bit. Only Lin Yun, Dalton, Danason, and Levis were able to resist the power, but even they had to wait three kilometers away. The others had all retreated almost 10 kilometers.
The light gradually dispersed, and a guy that was one meter tall slowly appeared in the remains of the light. Gradually, his eyes that were as dark as the abyss could be seen.
Excited, Dalton dashed forward without thinking, because the reborn god was facing him. He was the very first person to have eye contact with the reborn god.
Dalton charged forward, laughing crazily. He unleashed three extraordinary spells that attacked Lin Yun, Danason, and Levis with the power of the Heart of Luminosity, trying to block them.
“Hahaha. Bastards, I knew I would get this because of the grace of the holy light. Idiots, the reborn god is mine!”
Dalton dashed forward in a streak of light. At this moment, the tiny guy was fully revealed in the remains of light. He was a little beastman that was only one meter tall. He had a bloody skin that was full of magic tattoos. There were four little tusks inside his mouth and braids on his head. His eyes were as pure as those of a baby.
“Mother…”
Hearing the childish cry, Dalton grinned so delightedly that his face was almost twisted.
On the other hand, Lin Yun, who had blocked Dalton’s attack easily, but was still held back for a moment, came to a sudden halt. He looked at the reborn 73rd God with a weird expression. Then, he suddenly turned around, and looked at Xiuban.
All of Enderfa’s three faces were shocked. He tried to turn around and look at Xiuban, who was grimacing and staring at the holy light mages. Xiuban couldn’t care less about the reborn god. Rather, he was like a maddened animal that was trying to kill all the holy light mages that hurt him.
It was already extremely remarkable that his defense was broken, and he endured negligible wounds when he was attacked by the holy light mages whose level was higher, but for Xiuban, it was a humiliation. It had been a long time since he was hurt.
Even Lin Yun had forgotten to compete over the reborn god. Both Enderfa and Reina looked at Xiuban. Neither of them cared about the reborn god.
Having known each other for such a long time, they even knew how many hairs there were on Xiuban’s face. The reborn god was like a child version of Xiuban. Their skin, appearance, and even tattoos were almost the same.
Nobody would believe that the two of them were unrelated…
Lin Yun noticed it very quickly, but nobody else did. It was not unlikely for a god to be reborn as a beastman. Even if it was reborn as a slime or a pig, everybody would still believe that he would ignite the God Fire someday.
Lin Yun had forgotten the competition, but Danason and Levis didn’t. After blocking Dalton’s spell, they had charged forward without delay.
“Hahaha, kiddo, don’t be hasty. I’m going to take you home…”
Dalton approached the little beastman with a twisted expression. He was about to reach the little beastman, when the little beastman burped, and spouted a mouthful of gray air onto Dalton’s body.
Immediately, the expression of Dalton, who hadn’t even established his shield yet, changed. The moment the gray air hit him, he lost sense of his lower body. He looked down, only to find that he seemed to have been cut apart from the middle. His waist had been entirely eaten up. On the wounds on his legs, the gray air was spreading crazily, and turned his legs into nothingness in only one second.
At the same time, the gray air was also spreading upwards from the wound, quickly transforming his body into nothingness. He had no time to react. His body parts below the chest were gone. When he retreated in panic, the Heart of Luminosity in his chest was contaminated by the gray air too, and seemed to have lost all its power. It turned into a dim gem, and it was already not bad that the gem wasn’t turned into nothingness…
But Dalton was incapable of healing himself any longer. He could only watch his body be obliterated…
“No, it shouldn’t be like this. No. Kid, help me, help me…” Dalton screamed, hoping that the little beastman would save him. After all, the little beastman burped just now. It could be a pure accident…
But when Dalton extended his hand and screamed desperately, trying to grasp at something, the little beastman turned around in confusion, and walked with his back against Dalton, without any intention to stay.
Two seconds later, the gray air reached Dalton’s head. Immediately, Dalton’s scream came to an abrupt halt. His body turned into absolute nothingness. Only a gray gem was left, and dropped to the ground.
Dalton was as dead as anyone could be. Having been hit by the remaining power of a god, his soul was annihilated. Never had Dalton ever expected to be killed in such a way…
It only took him a few seconds, no, a burp for him to experience the greatest delight and the deepest desperation.
The naked little beastman ran clumsily, appearing like a weakling that anyone here could easily kill. However, at this moment, everybody had calmed down, as if they had been hit by a Freezing Spell and a Soul Shiver…
Danason and Levis lost the courage to charge forward too. Both of them retreated in panic. It was not until this moment that they finally remembered that even though the reborn god was extremely weak when he was born, he was only weak compared to his original self. Essentially speaking, the reborn god also carried the gods’ power, which was deadly poison that could kill any Heaven Rank when they touched it. It could even kill their souls…
