City of Dawn Light.
Klakauska rubbed his hands together as he stared at the distant city, which, unlike Landen, didn’t have a vast shield of light in the sky, yet it was still considered a main city in this world.
His enemy was here...
Incidentally, the fire dragon was introducing the city to Zheng Yichen, explaining that there were several demigods within the city. Unlike True Gods who had their own Divine Kingdoms, demigods lived in the Mortal Realm and naturally had ample contact with humans.
Therefore, it shouldn’t be too surprising to hear one day that a demigod was residing in one’s area; it was rather normal.
However, the number of demigods in a city was a testant to that city’s foundation.
Not every demigod wished to create a small nation for fun nor to establish a city of their own.
"I’ve encountered demigods who beca rcenaries before."
Listening to the fire dragon’s explanations, Zheng Yichen asked with a hint of speechlessness, "...Wouldn’t it be quite boring for such beings to beco rcenaries?"
"That depends on what they’re doing. They are simply enjoying life. During battles, they don’t have to go all out. They can even have an equal fight with their targets and fight alongside their comrades. As long as they’re not omniscient and omnipotent, there are too many things that can bring them joy."
"Fine, your enemy did such a thing and yet lives here in the City of Dawn Light, tsk, it reminds of an old novel I once read."
Klakauska’s enemy was a demigod nad Kraywatt. Having killed nearly ten demigods by now, Zheng Yichen had gained quite an understanding of the divine beings in this world. The number of Divine Runes didn’t necessarily determine the strength of a demigod, but those with fewer Divine Runes certainly wouldn’t be weak in harnessing and maximizing their power.
Kraywatt was one of the demigods with very few Divine Runes. Though Klakauska had never seen him undressed and thus couldn’t be sure just how few his Divine Runes were...
As for what Kraywatt had done, Klakauska had already told Zheng Yichen before, involving the breeding of Evil Dragon Beasts using a mother dragon. The fire dragon had ntioned to Zheng Yichen the problem of the Dragon Tribe’s XP—so creatures with dragon blood weren’t just about the enriched XP that ca occasionally from dragons.
Those creatures had dragon bloodlines because of incidents similar to what a demigod like Kraywatt had done.
Moreover, there were hardly any normal half-dragon hominids in this world!
The fire dragon and Zheng Yichen had emphasized this point. The XP of Dragon Tribe was rich in so aspects. Dragons, at least, had a sense of aesthetics; for the most part, humans really didn’t fall within the aesthetic range of dragons.
"What?" the fire dragon asked with curiosity.
"It’s about how the Luminous Church is always evil..."
Upon hearing this, the fire dragon couldn’t help sneering, "Would you dare say that in the city where the Luminous Church is located? The Luminous Holy Maiden would be checking your water ter in no ti!"
The fire dragon had told Zheng Yichen before that the Luminous God in this world liked to raise daughters.
"I am oriented towards the light," Zheng Yichen said, his body gaining a glow from the light energy, which was quite excellent in the Three Suns World and was versatile for offense, defense, and healing. After being reversed, it had high piercing and damaging effects, making it increasingly likable the more one used it.
Klakauska rolled his eyes at Zheng Yichen, feeling it was quite shaless for him to say that. After interacting with him for so long, the only positive power Zheng Yichen could present was this light energy, with elents manipulation being a neutral type of power.
Just recently, this guy had even conjured up the power of Hell, albeit in a small amount, but that was still the power of Hell, a power associated with Hell and usable only by Hell creatures, like the Headless Knight, Wraith Knight, Hell demon dragon, demons, devils, and such.
The power of Hell and the Power of Death were highly compatible, but they were not the sa type of power. The Power of Death brought living beings closer to death, while the power of Hell’s effect on living beings was ’corruption, Hellification.’
One leads to the transformation of living beings into Undeads while the other transforms them into Hell creatures.
If one day Zheng Yichen grew horns like those of demons or devils, Klakauska would find it perfectly normal. Yet, when Zheng Yichen wasn’t using those small amounts of Hell power, he showed no external signs of the Hellish aura.
But regardless, this person, who had harnessed various abnormal powers, claid his heart was oriented towards the light?
Rember to display those abnormal powers at the trial.
"Hey, what’s with that look? Just say whether what I’m doing and saying right now is consistent or not!"
The fire dragon smacked its lips, "Cough, I’m not denying that."
As long as it helps him take his revenge, that is being oriented towards the light!
```
The question arose, how to lure out the target?
"Kind of tricky," the fire dragon scratched his own hair. Recently, Zheng Yichen and his team had beco too famous, with quite a few demigods taking the initiative to head to Landen, City of Peace.
The demigods they dealt with all had a lot of skeletons in their closet, all deserving death, but you can’t ignore the high number of demigods dying in a short ti. Even if so demigods started seeing patterns from the exploits of those who had been killed, none would bet on the chance of being targeted themselves before the ’Godslayer’s’ purpose was clear.
Demigods were a part of a large circle, yet also a small one. Given their long lifespans, they had so familiarity with one another. If one demigod was killed by them, others, after hearing about it, would have so level of reassurance that the killed demigod was weaker than them, so they wouldn’t worry too much...
Then another demigod they couldn’t beat also died.
Confidence instantly turned into panic, and there was nothing to say anymore. The demigods who didn’t want trouble or to cross paths with it fled to Landen.
Klakauska confird through the secret techniques of the Dragon Tribe and contact with his kin that among the demigods currently in Landen, seven out of ten had shady backgrounds.
It was evident that those who once acted unbridled but also relied on their demigod status, were now rattled.
Because he was too well-known, if he actively provoked a confrontation now, Kraywatt might not even show up. Instead, the other side might realize he was the fire dragon connected with the ’Godslayer,’ and while they might not hide away, they could unite with other demigods to eliminate Zheng Yichen.
"I think we could give it a try."
"Are you crazy?" Klakauska widened his eyes: "Do you really think you’re a True God? There’s a difference between attacking an unprepared demigod and facing one that’s ready for battle, they’ll call for their daddy!"
Zheng Yichen rolled his eyes: "So you’ve just associated demigods with calling for daddy, huh? Regardless of anything, demigods have their dignity."
A demigod might call for daddy when in danger, but that didn’t apply to all demigods. Zheng Yichen had previously encountered a battle-crazed lunatic demigod who really benefited from the Asura Battle Intent buff. Even when being beaten to death in a head-on fight with Zheng Yichen, that demigod hadn’t tried to call for daddy once.
They died still relishing the ’joy’ of battle.
The fire dragon spread his hands: "But the problem is, many people have that impression of demigods. Even if so demigods say that this is slander, there’s a real abundance of those that do call out for daddy... This isn’t what we should be discussing right now; you really want to fight several, perhaps more, prepared demigods?"
"If necessary, it’s worth a try."
"..." The fire dragon’s expression turned serious: "Are you serious?"
Zheng Yichen looked towards the City of Dawn Light and said, "Actually, it’s not that bad. If necessary, I can still create a significant ho-field advantage."
Entering the sa battle state as when facing the Great Evil God, a few demigods? Bring on ten tis as many!
But doing so would an destroying the City of Dawn Light, and in a world where True Gods exist, if he went too far, a True God might co down and deal with him—that would be difficult to handle. Without extre asures, he still held the advantage against multiple powerful opponents. The more opponents he had, the more demonic thoughts he could gather, several tis over.
The stronger and more pure the demonic thoughts generated by powerful beings, the stronger the power of the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills when he used them. Furthermore, in this world, he was fully capable of sustaining the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills by his own abilities.
Defeating the Great Evil God not only granted him extraordinary ntal perception but also significantly improved his resistances and other characteristics that weren’t exactly abilities, such as his resistance to the impact of demonic thoughts. Even without the Ice Heart Mantra, he had plenty of extra resistance to these forces born from negative emotions.
After all, an entity like the Great Evil God, which thrived on such power, couldn’t be killed by the very virus it spread. He was not the Great Evil God, but his extraordinary abilities had absorbed part of that being’s soul. Rounding up, maybe he could count as a nanoscopic Evil God...
Zheng Yichen thought for a mont and then, with a hint of modesty, said, "Actually, I have an even greater advantage in group fights."
Klakauska rolled his eyes: "By that logic, should I find a True God for you to challenge one day? There are plenty of strong beings in the Divine Kingdoms of a True God. If you invade a Divine Kingdom, wouldn’t your advantage be even greater?"
Zheng Yichen pondered briefly: "It depends on the situation. If a divine war really breaks out on your end one day, rember to let know."
Seeing that Zheng Yichen was seriously considering getting involved in a divine war made Klakauska’s eye twitch: "I don’t even recall how long it’s been since the last divine war. Besides, divine wars are sotis very secretive, and ordinary people don’t notice them at all. It’s only after the followers’ god dies that people realize a divine war has taken place and ended."
"No big deal, it would be great to co across one, but it’s fine if we don’t. There’s a lot we will encounter in the future, why fixate on a divine war?"
Klakauska nodded at Zheng Yichen’s words: "True, I am a Dusk rcenary now. Once this is over, I’ll go to other worlds to explore. Having more experiences might bring forth all kinds of events... Wait, that’s not what we were talking about, right?
How did we get from dealing with demigods to divine wars?"
The fire dragon brought the discussion back on track.
