Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom Chapter 187: Betray
Profaner lokuhle?
At the final mont before leaving the Multiple Layers of Space, Enzo and Norma heard a muffled voice.
It was the na of the strange beastman.
His na was lokuhle. At the sa ti ,he held a peculiar title—Profaner.
This was not a flattering title. It implied a desecration of the deity, a provocation to the divine. However, lokuhle ntioned it with such ease, clearly indifferent to the impact of the title.
That only deepened Enzo's curiosity.
He was eager to know what the so-called tests were and what kind of trials Maude and Rexfit had undergone.
However, it wasn't the right ti.
As Enzo and Norma erged from the multiple layers of space, they happened to encounter Torrian and his group. The timing was quite delicate, as Torrian's group was currently in a standoff with another group that was entering the secret realm.
"It's you two!"
Seeing two people suddenly erge from the rock wall, Torrian was startled. But upon recognizing them, he imdiately laughed and said to the other group, "Rodney, let's put our conflict aside for now and join forces to deal with these two troubles, shall we?"
The middle-aged man nad Rodney nodded.
He belonged to a small faction in the Dark Night Forest, known for his considerable strength and so renown in the region. However, he was still sowhat inferior compared to Torrian. If it weren't for the Spatial Stone, he wouldn't want to offend Torrian.
Now, with Enzo and Norma's appearance, Rodney saw an opportunity.
He added, "Torrian, we can join forces, but I want half of the Spatial Stone we get after dealing with them."
This condition made Torrian's expression darken.
However, he had no choice but to agree. If he refused, Rodney might choose to aid Enzo and Norma, putting him at a disadvantage.
After a mont of thought, Torrian agreed, "Alright."
Rodney smiled and said, "Then let's have a pleasant cooperation!"
Torrian did not respond but instead focused on Enzo and Norma. The thought of killing Enzo and receiving the reward promised by Curtis stirred his excitent.
Without further hesitation, he shouted, "Attack!"
The cavern's space was already tight, and the mbers brought by Torrian and Rodney nearly blocked the passage entirely, leaving Enzo and Norma with no escape route.
The two did not falter in the face of this.
Enzo lowered his voice and said, "It's ti to fight."
Norma nodded, glanced around, and replied, "I'll deal with Torrian. You handle Rodney. Be careful—Rodney seems to have mastered so kind of powerful magic."
The battle was about to begin.
Seeing Enzo's aggressive move, Rodney sneered, "Kid, with your level of power, you dare to fight ? You're asking for death!"
In the next mont, Rodney's hand crackled with electricity.
The lightning crackled continuously with a terrifying aura, then transford into a pair of gauntlets which Rodney equipped. Such a weapon was quite rare.
Then, Rodney directly launched a powerful punch.
Enzo, rapidly approaching, felt a powerful force seal off all space in front of him, with lightning darting through. He had to halt and retreat to a safe spot.
Rodney mocked, "Is that all you've got, kid?"
Rodney then slamd his fist into the ground, causing a burst of lightning to crack open the earth, creating a fissure that extended towards Enzo.
Enzo quickly evaded, but the lightning continued unabated, hitting the cavern wall and creating a deep pit, sending debris flying and causing the entire cavern to tremble.
As Torrian grappled with Norma, he cursed loudly, "Rodney, what are you doing?"
Rodney quickly responded, "My mistake, my mistake."
Torrian, infuriated, found himself distracted by Rodney's miscalculation, which not only missed Enzo but also affected him.
This distraction allowed Norma, with her extensive battle experience, to seize the opportunity.
She swiftly ford a spatial blade and slashed towards Torrian's heart. Although Torrian reacted in ti, he couldn't fully evade the attack, resulting in a narrow but deep wound on his chest. Blood gushed out, and the intense pain drove him into a frenzy.
"Damn it!"
Torrian swore and roared at Rodney, "Rodney, deal with that guy quickly!"
Realizing that Norma's strength exceeded his expectations and sensing impending danger, Torrian feared for his life if the battle continued.
Hearing Torrian's shout, Rodney understood it was ti to get serious.
He turned to Enzo and declared, "Kid, this ends now!"
Surging lightning erged from Rodney, coalescing into a long spear. The spear's tip crackled with electric light, radiating an incredibly fierce aura.
Rodney, with a serious expression, declared, "Kid, it's your honor to die under the Thunder Spear!"
Thunder Spear?!
Was this the powerful skill that Rodney controls?
Enzo beca increasingly cautious, but Rodney did not advance. Instead, he manipulated the Thunder Spear and aid it at Enzo.
Whoosh!
The Thunder Spear moved at lightning speed. Enzo barely had ti to react before the spear was right in front of him, about to pierce his chest.
Rodney seed to foresee Enzo's fate, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
But soon, he realized sothing was wrong.
Enzo's face showed no sign of panic or fear. Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. What alard Rodney the most was that he noticed the Thunder Spear had not hit Enzo.
There was a tiny spatial rift at Enzo's chest.
At that mont, the Thunder Spear was being absorbed by the rift.
Rodney's face turned grim as he demanded, "How did you do that?"
In this secret realm, influenced by the Spatial Stone vein, manipulating spatial elents was extrely difficult. It was even harder to control spatial forces as precisely as Enzo did.
Could it be that he has so secret?
Rodney couldn't help but doubt.
The more he doubted, the more convinced he beca that his suspicions were correct.
He thought to himself, "Torrian, though usually prone to arguing and creating conflicts, always shows sufficient respect when faced with truly powerful individuals.
This ti, Lady Norma has demonstrated formidable strength and has a close relationship with that young man, yet he still chooses to oppose Norma."
"This doesn't add up!"
"Torrian must know more!"
Rodney's greed surged within him.
At that mont, Enzo noticed Rodney's brief lapse in focus and quickly summoned dozens of vines to bind him. Unfortunately, Rodney reacted in ti, his body crackling with lightning that shattered all the vines. He disdainfully said, "Is that all you've got, kid?"
Indeed, a formidable opponent!
Enzo took a deep breath and focused intensely.
However, he soon noticed Rodney's strength seed to be waning, as if he was deliberately controlling it.
On the other side, Torrian was retreating steadily.
Finally, he called out to Rodney, "Rodney, co help !"
But Rodney did not move imdiately. Instead, he said, "I can help you, but I want seventy percent of the Spatial Stone's profits."
Torrian was caught off guard by Rodney's sudden demand for a larger share.
Seeing Norma launching another attack, he had no choice but to begrudgingly agree, gritting his teeth and saying, "Fine!"
After receiving the reply, Rodney casually knocked Enzo back and then walked toward Torrian. Just as Torrian believed Rodney would ally with him against Norma, Rodney instead used the Thunder Spear to pierce Torrian's heart directly.
Thanks to his own strength, Torrian did not die imdiately.
He looked at Rodney in disbelief and asked, "Why?"
Rodney sneered, "Torrian, I'm just doing what needs to be done. After all, no one wants to share readily accessible wealth with others."
This turn of events was unexpected for both Norma and Enzo.
Norma even mocked, "Torrian, look at the kind of ally you chose."
Upon hearing this, Torrian coughed up blood, shivered, and his breath finally ceased.
Rodney casually tossed Torrian's lifeless body aside, and the people Torrian had brought were also struck down by several bolts of lightning. After handling these matters, Rodney turned to Norma and Enzo, saying, "Ms. Norma, do you still intend to resist?
If you're willing to submit to , I can offer you half of the Spatial Stone."
Norma scoffed, "Rodney, do you think I'm a fool?"
Rodney shook his head and replied, "Actually, it's a very sincere offer. After all, if you refuse, your only option will be death."
Norma remained disdainful, "Do you really think you can defeat ?"
Rodney suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Ms. Norma, if I'm not mistaken, your strength is almost depleted, while I am at near full power. As for the guy beside you, I'm afraid he's too weak and will only be a burden."
Norma shook her head, "I don't think so."
Although her own strength was waning, Enzo was not significantly depleted.
Norma knew from experience that Enzo's true abilities were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Seeing that his persuasion had failed, Rodney lost his patience. He once again summoned several Thunder Spears and said harshly, "If that's the case, then die!"
With that, the Thunder Spears shot out towards them.
