"I'm the one who's going to kill you!" John said coldly, his expression hardening as he
activated Sword Mastery once more. The Wind Sword whistled through the air, slicing across Humr's neck in an instant.
Humr felt a sudden dizzying spin, and then he saw his own headless body...
His eyes widened in terror before everything went black.
The Wind Sword completed its arc, returning smoothly to the sheath in Chris's hand.
The surrounding mbers of the Blues Family stood in stunned silence, staring at John as if they had seen a ghost.
Only Sini remained relatively calm, having already witnessed John's prowess with Sword Mastery.
"Master, what happened while I was away?" John's voice snapped Chris out of his daze. Gulp!
Chris swallowed hard, taking a long look at John before explaining, "The Azure Family has resurfaced. They're a family comparable to an Ancient Martial Arts sect, and they've also entered the World of Gods, gaining the ability to fuse attributes. It seems they're sohow connected to the Mike White Family."
Chris gave a brief overview of the situation.
John frowned deeply. Even though he had revealed how to obtain the attribute stones, the Mike White Family, with their current strength, shouldn't have been able to acquire Attribute Fusion Stones on their own.
Unless the Dark Humans or the Angels were secretly supporting them.
Attribute Fusion Stones are rare and valuable, even for the Dark Humans and Angels. The fact that they would give them to the Mike White Family indicated there was likely so larger conspiracy at play.
"By the way, where's Tracy?" John asked, noticing her absence.
Armstrong quickly responded, "Don't worry, brother-in-law. My sister is with Ritchie. She'll be safe."
John's frown deepened, his expression growing more serious. "I just received news that Tracy left without a word this morning. She should have already returned to the Blues Family."
"What?" Armstrong exclaid, concern washing over everyone.
"Has sothing happened to Tracy?" Sini asked, her voice filled with panic as she looked to John for help.
"Don't worry, she might just be delayed on the way," Chris reassured them, though he was clearly troubled as well. He quickly gave orders, "Armstrong, take a group of elite disciples and search along the route."
"Yes!" Armstrong replied, ready to leave imdiately.
"I'm coming with you," Sini said, stepping forward.
Armstrong hesitated, looking to Chris for approval.
John intervened, "Let her go. Be careful on the road, and notify as soon as you have any news."
Sini, being a Shadow Assassin, was skilled in tracking, making her well-suited to find Tracy. The two quickly assembled a team and left without delay.
John turned to Chris and asked, "Master, where is this Azure Family located?"
The existence of the Azure Family was a lingering threat, and John intended to eliminate it completely.
"I don't know," Chris replied, shaking his head with a sigh. "The Azure Family is extrely secretive. No one knows where they are."
John frowned, feeling a deep sense of unease. This put them in a reactive position, having to wait for the Azure Family to make a move.
It was a situation he found highly frustrating.
"How about the Mike White Family? Could they know?" John asked, considering the possibility that the Mike White Family might have so connection to the Azure Family. "Unlikely. The Azure Family would never disclose their location to a re worldly power," Chris replied, knowing the Azure Family's cautious and ruthless nature.
Even so Ancient Martial Arts families were unaware of the Azure Family's existence, let alone locating them.
John fell silent, pondering his next move. It seed that the only option now was to take action against the Mike White Family.
Originally, John had hoped to avoid causing too much of a stir in the real world.
But the Mike White Family's actions had escalated beyond his control. He needed to eliminate them before they could cause even greater harm.
"Master, I'm heading back into the World of Gods. Contact imdiately if anything happens," John instructed, before re-entering the World of Gods.
...
In the World of Gods
John reappeared in Death Land.
"Master, have you taken care of things in the real world?" Anna asked as she approached him, leaning into him suggestively.
John couldn't help but smile as he planted a kiss on her cheek. "I still have so other matters to handle, but I'll spend ti with you once I'm done."
"Okay," Anna replied, a little disappointed but still obediently nodding.
John had been in Death Land for a while now, and he figured that the God's avatar had likely left by now.
He placed the demon race artifacts he had seized from Owen into Death Land, then focused his mind and returned to the World of Gods.
The scene before him was one of utter devastation. The surrounding mountains, grass, and trees had been reduced to nothing, with an eerie, lingering sense of destruction hanging in
the air.
It was clear that after he had fled, the God's avatar had unleashed its fury on the area, destroying everything in its path.
"My strength is still too weak," John muttered, frustrated. He could barely handle seventh- tier epic-level opponents, let alone a God.
With a determined thought, John summoned Avis from Death Land.
The enormous dragon appeared with a burst of energy, looking thrilled. "Master, where are
we going?" Avis asked eagerly.
He knew that John's strength had significantly improved and that he was no longer much help in battle. If John had summoned him, it was likely for travel.
"Death Land, Fla City," John said as he leaped onto Avis's back, giving the dragon a
reassuring pat.
"Got it!" Avis responded eagerly, launching into the sky. The flight was smooth but not overly
fast.
John leaned back, closing his eyes to rest while his mind raced, pondering what the Mike White Family was planning.
...
The strong winds whipped around them as John and Avis quickly arrived in Fla City. Avis's enormous figure imdiately drew attention, and Ritchie was the first to greet them. "Boss, how did things go with the Blues Family?" Ritchie asked as soon as he arrived. "It's handled for now. Let's talk at the City Lord's Manor," John replied, leading the way.
Once inside the study at the City Lord's Manor, Ritchie ordered the soldiers to keep everyone out and closed the door behind them.
"Boss, a lot has happened these past few days," Ritchie began, detailing the recent events to
John.
The Mike White Family had suddenly acquired a large number of Attribute Fusion Stones and was receiving backing from the Azure Family, causing quite a stir.
The news of impending disaster in the World of Gods had also gained traction, and many
people were beginning to believe it.
Taking advantage of the growing fear, the Mike White Family started promoting sothing
they called a "Noah's Ark," openly selling tickets.
"Noah's Ark?" John scoffed. "Do they think there's going to be a flood?"
Ritchie explained, "Boss, 'Noah's Ark' is just a codena for their operation. I suspect the
Mike White Family has so hidden agenda."
John nodded in agreent. "Is there any way to get our hands on one of those tickets?"
Ritchie shook his head in frustration. "No luck. I've tried every angle, but it's impossible to infiltrate the Mike White Family. Their screening process is extrely strict, and they haven't publicly revealed who has secured tickets."
John frowned, deep in thought. After a mont, he said calmly, "Start preparing to take action against the Mike White Family in the real world. I'll handle it personally." "Understood!" Ritchie replied with excitent. He had been itching to take on the Mike
White Family.
"Let in! I need to see Ritchie..." A commotion erupted outside the door.
John recognized the voice-it was Gaia. "Is that guy still here?" he asked, puzzled.
Ritchie nodded. "The Mike White Family has several powerful mbers who've fused their attributes with the real world. Gaia couldn't handle them, so he fled here for protection. He's been the source of much of our information on the Mike White Family."
"He's still as much of a nuisance as ever," John remarked dryly. In the previous tiline, he
hadn't had much contact with Gaia.
The Mike White Family was a core force, a towering presence in his eyes.
But things were different this ti around.
John glanced at the door and said calmly, "Let him in."
The door swung open, and Gaia burst into the room.
He looked even more haggard and worn out than before, his spirit clearly drained.
"Ritchie, I have urgent-" he started, but then his eyes landed on John. "Godslayer, you're
finally here!"
He exclaid, dropping to his knees with a thud.
John was taken aback by Gaia's dramatic entrance. "What's going on?" he asked, frowning as he looked down at Gaia.
Gaia's expression was grave as he hurriedly explained, "I've got intel that the Mike White
Family is planning to prematurely open a gateway between the World of Gods and the real
world."
"What?" Ritchie jumped to his feet, shock written across his face.
John's expression also grew serious, his brows knitting together. Others might be unaware of the disaster that the World of Gods could bring, but he knew all too well.
"Who told you this? And how exactly are they planning to open the gateway?" John asked, his
voice laced with urgency.
John had lived through the catastrophe that the World of Gods could unleash, but he didn't know how the connection between the real world and the World of Gods could be established.
In his previous life, the gateway had opened when many players had already reached the ninth
tier.
Based on the current tiline, that event was still five or six years away.
"It was Dark Angel who gave the information," Gaia replied. "But I've lost contact with him—I suspect sothing happened to him. As for how they plan to open the gateway, he
didn't know."
John fell silent, uncertain about the truth of this information. He turned to Ritchie and asked,
"Do you know anything about this Dark Angel?"
Ritchie shook his head.
Gaia, however, was desperate to convince them. "Godslayer, Dark Angel might have had his
differences with you, but that was when he was still with the Mike White Family. I know him well-he wouldn't joke about sothing like this."
John remained quiet, but he had already decided to take action against the Mike White Family, regardless of whether this information was accurate.
Even if the mysterious Azure Family was backing them, he felt no fear. Ritchie, recalling sothing, asked Gaia, "Do you know anything about the Mike White Family's Noah's Ark project? Is there any way to get a ticket?"
Gaia shook his head. "Dark Angel ntioned it. The project is top secret-only those who pass
their tests can get a ticket. He didn't pass, and when he found out about the Mike White
Family's true intentions, he defected." Ritchie's disappointnt was evident. He suspected that the Noah's Ark project might not be
about saving people, but about destroying them.
John turned his gaze back to Gaia and waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, you can go now."
But Gaia didn't move. Instead, he pleaded urgently, "Godslayer, I swear everything I've told
you is true. Only you can save the world. If you don't believe , I'll lead the charge against the Mike White Family myself—I'll be the vanguard, even if it ans being cannon fodder!" His voice was full of conviction.
