Chapter 957: A War of Annihilation of Demons Beyond Common Sense (Part 2）
Back in the year that the God of Wind fell, it was because he did not fully recover from the serious injury in the battle against “Aging Tajik,” and had fallen into a predicant of constant aging. In order to avoid a fall due to aging, he divided himself into four and beca four Gods of Wind, one in each of the four directions of North, South, East and West. Yet even so, the core of “wind” was still constantly aging and collapsing. It beca food for the demon to grow and strengthen itself.
Ti passed by day after day. The demon went on becoming stronger while the four Gods of Wind was still unable to show any further improvent because the core part was damaged. The plan to get the God of Wind to “first self-split to avoid the attack, and when the four Gods of Wind beca stronger, they would rge again to directly step up to the level of a great Divine Power,” beca nothing more than a stillborn baby. There was no way it could be executed.
But now, Tajik was destroyed by Sui Xiong. The power that had been eroding the core of the “wind” disappeared. The forr God of Wind got ready his ans and imdiately launched the plan to re-rge the four Gods of Wind of the North, South, East and West, so that he could recover his complete self as the “God of Wind.”
This God of Wind was the successor of the previous God of Wind back in those days. He was also a fusion of the four Gods of Wind from the four main directions. He had all the abilities and mories of the previous God of Wind, as well as those of the four Gods of Wind. Upon rebirth, he had returned to a level that was close to a great Divine Power.
Not only that, he was continually getting stronger. Under the watchful eyes of the gods, he had broken through the limit of a mid-level Divine Power and stepped up to the level of a great Divine Power.
The four Gods of Wind had accumulated much over the years, so of course, everything would not be in vain. Though most of Tajik’s power was swallowed up by Sui Xiong, and the amount that could be returned to the God of Wind was only about 20 to 30 percent, the God of Wind was originally just a minute distance away from becoming a great Divine Power. With that amount of power returned to him, he imdiately broke through the limit to beco the new great Divine Power.
At first, the gods were startled. But they were quick to see the light and understood what was going on. So those gods who once suffered losses in the battles they fought against the demons instantly felt high-spirited. They all looked hopefully at Sui Xiong, who was charging towards the Abyss. They looked forward to him destroying the demons that had wounded them so that they could recover from their wounds, and even hope for further progression.
Sui Xiong did not disappoint them and successively killed four demons in one go.
These four demons were all renowned figures like “Belligerent Pigg” and “Aging Tajik.” Considered to be active mbers of the horde of demons, they often ventured out to stir up trouble. In the past, they recklessly and rampantly brought grave disaster to the whole world. Yet there was no one who could do anything to stop them. But now, they finally ushered in their own hour of doom. One after the other, they were crushed and swallowed by Sui Xiong. Their immortality that once left all the other gods so helplessly at their wits’ end was rendered completely ineffective.
“Auscar, how did you do that?” asked Javier, the God of Pleasure. He could not hold back his curiosity and borrowed the spiritual channel among the allies to ask.
Sui Xiong smiled and made no reply.
He could not possibly give an explanation like, “Actually, I’m a great devil skilled at swallowing souls. After I have swallowed these fellows, their souls will not be able to escape from my stomach because I have devoured them...”
That would tarnish his image!
In fact, Sui Xiong himself had not expected such an outco. When he was up against “Belligerent Pigg,” he only felt that the demons were extrely difficult to deal with as they were undying and indestructible. From all the ans he knew, there was nothing that could really destroy them, so he intended to try using the power of his soul to launch an attack. After he defeated the demon, he realized that he could indeed “eat” the soul of the other party. And not only that, he realized that after he had eaten away a part of the soul, the soul of the demon did not show the slightest sign of recovery.
This was a little strange. Since ancient tis, the demons had been undying and indestructible. The gods had exhausted all possible ans, but they had not been able to truly exterminate the demons. Regardless of how they were beaten, how they were wrecked, they would always recover rapidly. Even if they had been completely destroyed, they would still be resurrected in the Abyss. Therefore, it was concluded that the demons could not be destroyed, they could only be sealed.
By right, soul attacks were not actually considered a rare ans. In the past, among the gods who had fought against the demons, the number who knew how to launch soul attacks was definitely not in the minority. There was quite a substantial number of gods who actually made use of such a ans. But it did not have any additional effect and it was not any more effective when compared to other forms of attacks.
So why did Sui Xiong’s attack work so effectively?
Sui Xiong did not understand.
However, he could always figure out the reason behind it in the future. The most important thing to do at present was to fight the battle and claim victory. That was all.
So he decisively executed a ans that he had not used for a long ti. Without inhibitions, he tore and devoured the souls of the demons. If he rely relied on the ordinary ans of contact, his “eating” speed would be much too slow. So he simply grabbed the demon, crushed it up and directly swallowed it—in fact, this was all just so that he could devour Pigg’s soul more efficiently.
After eating Pigg’s soul, Sui Xiong instantaneously felt a great boost in his spirits. He felt as though he had eaten a legendary Great Power of the Dragon and Tiger Pill. His entire being was filled with strength. His back was no longer tired, and he no longer felt weak in the knees. He could carry two buckets full of pure water up five floors without panting... So subsequently, when he had to confront the other demons, he naturally chose this thod.
That was all.
But such things should never be said out loud. If everyone knew that the Void Mask, Auscar, was a great devil who could swallow the souls of demons, who knew what kind of looks they would cast in Sui Xiong’s direction!
Sui Xiong might be soone who did not know much of the ways of the humane world, but he was no fool!
So he rely smiled and pretended to be mysterious!
In truth, it was simply because he could not think of a reasonable explanation. That was all.
Since ancient tis, the demons had been undying and indestructible. They could be defeated but never destroyed. No matter what kind of special performances Sui Xiong had put up in the past, it was still difficult to co up with a reasonable explanation for the matter on how he managed to destroy the demons.
Naturally, Sui Xiong would know the answers. So other than putting up a mysterious front that showed that “this is my secret,” he really could not think of any good answer.
It was like those humorous stories on the Internet. The commoners would consult the Zen master for enlightennt on so teachings, but the Zen master would smile without replying. The commoner would persist and ask, “Master, I really grasp no understanding of what you an, can you enlighten ?” As a result, the Zen master flew into a rage and gave the commoner a good beating... Smiling could be because he was sure of all the answers and thus pretended to be mysterious. And of course, it could also be because he was trying to cover up his embarrassnt, thus pretending to be mysterious.
Sui Xiong belonged to the latter.
But all of this was hidden behind his smile. Javier might be a knowledgeable and well-inford God of Pleasure, but he knew very little about things like criminal investigation. Therefore, he was unable to spot any clues from Sui Xiong’s expression. This was how Sui Xiong managed to fool Javier.
Of course, even a criminal investigation expert would not be of much use. In this whole wide world, there probably would not be a single criminal investigation expert with the ability to study the expressions and psychological state of a jellyfish’s face. Even the head of national intelligence of the Republic of Northwest, Easter, who was once an ace spy, would not be able to accomplish such a feat.
So Sui Xiong simply covered up this matter with a mysterious smile. Javier even helped him to explain to the other gods, saying, “This is one of Auscar’s ultimate tricks that he has never told us about.”
Right, an ultimate trick. This was an ultimate trick that he had kept a secret. This was simply a fabulous excuse!
Sui Xiong was secretly amused by this thought as he quickened his pace and charged towards the ensuing demons that were approaching him in succession. Once again, his expression beca serious.
This battle where he was going to et the demons and Chaos head-on, had just begun.
