Chapter 243: The Death Gods, The Fire Demon Overlord
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What the heck! Where did you get this from?”
Astonished by the sight of the blood-red scythe in ng Lei’s hand, Dodola looked as if it had just seen a ghost.
“I took it from the Titan Empire’s treasury!”
ng Lei said honestly, “I’ve tested it. This scythe is extrely sharp and has astonishing might. It’s probably a very powerful divine weapon!”
“How does ‘powerful’ even cut it?!”
With a shake of its head, Dodola said, “This is the Grim Reaper Scythe. It’s the companion weapon to the Netherworld’s Grim Reapers and has beheaded so many deities that one can’t even keep count anymore!”
“The Grim Reaper Scythe?” ng Lei gasped. “What’s a Grim Reaper?”
“The Grim Reaper is also known as the God of Death and refers to the deity that rules over death. Of course, the Grim Reaper doesn’t just represent one person. Rather, the na refers to a whole clan instead—the Death Gods!”
Dodola explained, “Although there are only very few Death Gods in comparison to clans with great numbers like the Titan Gods and the Angel Gods, every single Grim Reaper is an extrely fearso existence—because all the Grim Reapers are higher deities!”
“They are all higher deities? My goodness, had there been more of them, would other races even have a shot at survival?”
ng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. A clan where every single person was a higher deity—just what kind of concept was that?
“Thus, the Death Gods are one of the most powerful forces in the Netherworld. Although there are only very few of them, no-one dares to look down on them!”
Dodola added, “In particular, the Death Gods’ ruler—the Grim Reaper King—is even one of the greatest and most noble existences in the vast universe!”
ng Lei could hardly contain his excitent. He asked, “So, this ans that this scythe is a higher deity’s weapon?”
Dodola nodded slowly. Then, it said, “But I wouldn’t recomnd that you use it because the Grim Reaper Scythe is extrely bloodstained and unholy. It’ll affect your state of mind!”
“Weapons are inanimate, whereas humans are alive,” ng Lei remained noncommittal to Dodola’s suggestion. He said, “As if inanimate objects can take control of a live human! Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing!”
Dodola chastised him. “You mustn’t be negligent!”
“Alright, alright!”
Then, ng Lei left the Tower of Ti.
One must admit that the Grim Reaper Scythe indeed looked very impressive and domineering. When ng Lei hoisted it over his shoulder, even he felt that he looked rather cool!
“I must try this treasure out when I get the chance to!”
ng Lei had taken a huge fancy to the Grim Reaper Scythe. Only after fiddling with it properly for quite a while did he leave the half-plane and return to the Titan Spiritual Peak summit.
“Master!”
Nadja, Seisia, and Bubbles hurriedly ca forward to receive him. Klaus, who had previously headed to the Great Earth Pillar Nation, was also back.
Klaus handed a spatial ring over and said, “Master, these are the Chiras’ assets!”
“Thanks for your hard work!” said ng Lei received the spatial ring from him. The Chiras’ assets certainly in no way matched up to the Titan Empire’s, but one shouldn’t underestimate them, either.
An inventory of the assets showed that they had brought ng Lei another two million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, as well as innurable other rare and precious treasures!
“Our trip is complete. We can leave now!”
After collecting the rest of the treasures, ng Lei summoned the Thunder Titan Emperor over again. He said, “Thunder Titan Emperor, you’re a pretty nice guy, so I won’t take your life!”
“Thank you for sparing my life!”
The Thunder Titan Emperor was so grateful that he was close to tears.
“I’m about to leave. I’d like to ask you for one last favor!” ng Lei asked, “I wonder if that’s okay?”
The Thunder Titan Emperor quickly replied, “Your wish is my command, sir! I will definitely do my best to fulfill it!”
Right now, all he wanted was to see ng Lei off—never to return again, preferably!
“Spread the news of everything that has happened here everywhere. Let the Titan Empire’s people know what exactly has taken place here!”
ng Lei smiled calmly and asked, “Can you do that?”
“Yes! Absolutely!”
The Thunder Titan Emperor hurriedly gave his word.
“Great!”
ng Lei gave him a slight nod. Then, he said, “Let’s go!”
“Yes, Master!”
Klaus transford into his true form and left with ng Lei and the others on his back.
The Thunder Titan Emperor watched as they went far away into the distance until all he could see was a tiny black dot. Only then did he finally heave a long sigh of relief and collapsed onto the ground weakly.
“He’s gone! That devil is finally gone! I’ve managed to stay alive sohow, thank goodness!”
“Your Majesty!”
The Titan Empress and other survivors walked over, their expressions one of relief from surviving the ordeal.
The Thunder Titan Emperor felt like crying as he looked at them, however. The half-deity grandmasters were all dead while only a handful of court officials, nobles, and Saint Domains were left.
How were they supposed to survive?
“That renegade! Knave! Treacherous bandit!”
The Thunder Titan Emperor gnashed his teeth, wishing he could rip ng Lei into shreds. “I’m so mad!”
“It’s over! All over!”
“Oh, my empire...”
...
As though a red bolt of lightning, Klaus soared swiftly in the sky while ng Lei, Bubbles, and the others sat on his back and chatted idly.
“Are you also a Titan, Master?”
Bubbles asked as he watched ng Lei, his eyes full of excitent and curiosity.
“Not really, I guess! I’m a Hundred-Ard Giant!”
ng Lei shook his head with a laugh.
“A Hundred-Ard Giant?”
Bubbles broke into a slight frown—he’d never heard of the Hundred-Ard Giants.
“Hundred-Ard Giants refer to the legendary Titan mutants. However, they were expelled by the Titans and beca the Supre God of The Underworld’s guards in the end,” explained Seisia, the Thunderbolt Queen.
At the sa ti, an even stronger sense of curiosity also filled her eyes as she gazed at ng Lei.
First, it was the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline, and now, it’s the Hundred-Ard Giant bloodline. Master has simply too many secrets. He’s just like a ball of mystery!
“A Titan mutant? That’s also a Titan!”
Bubbles’ eyes lit up as he burst into loud laughter. “Master, the sa blood flows through our veins! Hahaha!”
“Well, I guess so!”
ng Lei shook his head lightly. Then, he brought out about 100 half-divine weapons that were giving off power of divinity energy fluctuations.
“I took these half-divine weapons from the Dragon God Empire and the Titan Empire’s treasuries. Each of you can pick a few for yourselves as weapons!”
“So many half-divine weapons!”
Bubbles and the other three half-deities were so astonished that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. They were half-deities, hence in terms of weapons, half-divine weapons suited them best.
Yet as underground half-deities...
All of them were as poor as a church mouse!
When had they ever seen this many half-divine weapons?
“Can we really take our pick, Master?” A rather agitated Bubbles asked in a loud outburst as he looked at ng Lei hopefully.
“Of course! Take whatever you want!”
ng Lei gave them a slight smile. Then, he closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the Tower of Ti.
The 96th level was still the sa dim and dull blood-red world with blood-red skies and blood-red lands.
Unlike in the past, however, the entire half-plane was dead silent and completely soundless now.
The dark-elental Magical Beasts were nowhere in sight, and neither were the tens of thousands of Devils he’d stocked up here!
They’d all vanished!
As for Little Cola...
ng Lei found her in a pile of bushes. The little fellow had wrapped her wings snugly around herself and was exceptionally blissfully fast asleep.
“She’s really eaten them all? Isn’t that too great an appetite?”
ng Lei was rendered sowhat speechless. In spite of that, what must be summoned still had to be summoned. Otherwise, the little fellow would have to starve.
At once, ng Lei tried to detect the faraway Demon Realm’s location and began to summon the Devils.
As a high-end existential plane, the Demon Realm and Heaven’s Vault Continent difference was apparent to ng Lei.
The laws of nature were more obvious there, and magic elents were also richer in concentration there. Dark magic elents, in particular, were extrely abundant. It was practically the dark-elental beings’ sanctum!
Apart from that, the Demon Realm’s dinsional structure was also stabler. Half-deity-level attacks were completely incapable of shaking the space-ti dinsion there!
Ripping a fissure into the void?
Don’t even think about it!
Of course, the Demon Realm was also wider and vaster than Heaven’s Vault Continent and was nearly boundless.
For the sa reason, many regions in the Demon Realm were void of any presence.
And wasn’t that so? ng Lei had been wandering about in the sky in the Demon Realm for half a day, yet he’d only managed to catch a paltry hundred or so Devils. It wasn’t even enough as a snack for Little Cola!
“This won’t work. I have to find a Devil who’s about as strong as myself and ask them for directions...
“Eh? The demonic aura there is so strong!”
ng Lei had spied a large, bald mountain devoid of any vegetation. Smoke rose from the mountain.
Evidently, that was a volcano, and the demonic aura was coming from the volcano’s mouth!
He ca to the volcano’s mouth. The boiling-hot lava inside constantly bubbled as it gave off shockingly high heat. A torrential wave of demonic aura was also coming from the lava.
ng Lei mumbled, “It’s probably a half-deity-level Devil!”
Then, he manifested his divine cognition into a humanoid form and began to provoke it!
Roar!
A low, deep roar traveled over to him, and then, a gigantic ram-horned head erged from within the lava. Its eyes were blood-red like rubies and looked incredibly unholy.
“Lowly, cheap human Magician, how dare you disturb the great Lord Gabriel’s slumber! I’m going to eat you!”
“This aura... It’s... A Fire Demon?”
Surprise appeared on ng Lei’s countenance. He’d found the demonic aura from the volcano very familiar when he was on the way over just now. As it turned out, a Fire Demon had been in deep slumber in the volcano!
The Fire Demon!
There was no way ng Lei could forget about it, of course. He had assimilated the Fire Demon bloodline back then, after all!
Roar!
The Fire Demon in the lava launched its attack. A couple of fire dragons ford from lava soared out of the volcano and rushed toward ng Lei!
However, with a flick of ng Lei’s fingers, the two fire dragons imdiately turned around and flew toward the Fire Demon instead.
“Damn it!”
At the sight, the Fire Demon smacked the lava lake, causing a waterfall of lava to rise from the lake and using it to block the fire dragons.
“Surprisingly, you do have a bit of skill to you. This is my turf, however, so how can I allow you to horse around here?”
The Fire Demon let out an icy snort. Then, it slowly rose from the lava—it was actually a 100-feet-tall adult Fire Demon bathed in flas!
“Die!!”
The Fire Demon roared, instantly turning into a flash of lightning that shot toward ng Lei.
ng Lei uttered two words, “Ultimate Alchemy!”
He was currently here in the Demon Realm in his divine spirit form, so he couldn’t use his divine body, his power of divinity, his special abilities, or his divine weapons. Thus, his combat power had taken a huge dip!
There were simply too few options available to him while he was in his divine spirit form. Apart from spiritual attacks, laws of nature were the only option he had!
If he wanted to subdue the half-deity-level Fire Demon within the shortest amount of ti possible, then the only choice he had was to use his most powerful skill—his control of tal laws of nature!
Whoosh!
A dazzling golden light beam descended from above, instantly crashing down onto the Fire Demon and completely transmuting it into gold in a split second.
ng Lei opened up the Devil channel and brought the Fire Demon out with him before dispelling Ultimate Alchemy’s effects on it.
Roar!
The Fire Demon was right about to attack the mont it was freed, but upon sensing the aura in the surroundings, it beca thunderstruck at once, and a look of fear and shock appeared on its face.
One, two, three, four, five!
There were a good five half-deities around him, and every single one emanated an aura that was much more powerful than his!
“S-sir...!”
The fearful Fire Demon bowed down to ng Lei at once.
“Raise your head!”
ng Lei replied calmly.
“Yes, sir!”
The Fire Demon trembled as it raised its head, looking at ng Lei with an expression of fear. By now, it could already tell that ng Lei was the one who had brought him here.
“Tell about the Demon Realm!”
