Chapter 397: The Secret Revelation
Chapter 397: The Secret Revelation
The power that surpassed Tier 3 distorted time and space, causing Baro's perception to become chaotic.
Not only was he unable to intervene, but he didn't even have the qualifications to witness the battle.
He merely turned his head, and the blinding light pierced his eyes, causing white hair to grow on his body.
His cells and organs were affected by the two overwhelming energies, undergoing changes.
Baro felt his body elongate, twist, and fold into bizarre shapes.
He didn't know how long it lasted.
Suddenly, the chaos behind him came to an abrupt halt.
"Boom!"
He appeared in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground, his entire body aching. He struggled to get up.
The final victory belonged to the Ancient God, Es!
The childlike Ancient God, Es, hovered in mid-air, surrounded by several rhomboid crystals.
"Pure Divinity!"
Ancient God Es licked the corner of her mouth, her eyes gleaming with fervor.
"And it contains power beyond that of an Upper Rank Sixth Tier God. Hehe... It's all mine now."
"There are no true deities, no power beyond Tier 5, only mortals who steal the power of the gods."
"Gaga..."
She couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What a perfect world!"
Ancient God Es, after defeating Hymnist Seraphiel, was also severely injured, and her power was at a low ebb.
Initially, she felt anxious, fearing that the commotion would attract a powerful entity.
After all, such massive energy fluctuations would undoubtedly be perceived by certain beings in her era.
There were also those who benefited from the chaos.
Until...
She browsed through Hymnist Seraphiel's memories.
Instant ecstasy!
This world had no gods, and even restricted power above Tier 3, which meant...
For Es, who was close to Tier 5, this world was almost invincible.
Even if there were a few who could match her power, killing her would not be easy, and ensuring her survival was not a problem.
Even more surprisingly,
Although the gods were gone, this world still had the power they left behind, and some of those who possessed that power were not deities.
This meant that Es could collect the power of the gods, break through her limits, and become a deity in the mortal realm.
Furthermore,
She could become an Archgod, surpassing even the Upper Rank Sixth Tier Gods!
"This is the worst of times, without the gods or high-tier wizards and foreign demon gods." Ancient God Es clenched her fists, her body trembling with excitement:
"But it's also the best of times. Once sealed by the gods, I can now trample on their remains and become an Archgod."
"Haha..."
The laughter abruptly ceased.
Es lowered her gaze to Baro on the ground.
"Young man, you're lucky. Encountering me in a cheerful mood, you can become my first follower."
"Let's go!"
She waved her hand lightly.
"I'm hungry. Let's find somewhere to eat."
Baro touched his slightly flat abdomen and smiled with a peculiar expression.
...
Mountainous terrain surrounded Blaze, who stood atop a peak, gazing into the distance. His view consisted of one mountain after another.
Fortunately, there were trees on the peaks, making the landscape less dull.
"Boom!"
"Thud..."
Above.
Several dozen black bats flapped their wings, dancing rapidly in the air, creating ripples.
The air wall was real.
However,
They couldn't get out.
"Swish!"
The bats gathered and transformed into a human form.
Monica, with a somber expression, landed beside Blaze and shook her head gently.
"We're trapped here. Unless Ancient God Es willingly lets us go, we might never escape."
"..." Blaze forced a faint smile, saying, "It doesn't matter. At least I can be with you."
"Yes." Monica lowered her head.
"The only good news."
"I was afraid Es would go after my father and the others, and that the Bitak Group would be affected too."
"Monica." Blaze spoke softly, "Your clan can kill gods, so naturally, they can also kill Es, who is sealed by the gods. Don't worry too much."

"Maybe..." Monica, as a 'Neophyte' vampire, wasn't aware of the strength within her clan, but hearing Blaze's reassurance, she felt slightly relieved.
"Right." Blaze found a stone to sit on and curiously asked, "Can you tell me about your clan?"
"Vampires? Gods?"
"Yeah."
Monica pondered for a moment, then replied, "I don't know much either. According to the clan's records, in the ancient era, the gods ruled this continent, and even its name was called the Eastern Kingdom Continent."
"The people living on this continent were the source of the gods' faith, generation after generation, enslaved by the gods. Even if a powerful kingdom wanted to resist the gods, they would be easily crushed due to their lack of strength compared to the gods."
"Until..."
"A mysterious wizard appeared."
"A wizard?" Blaze's curiosity piqued.
"A legendary being with mysterious powers?"
"Yes." Monica nodded.
"That wizard gave a spear to the angel Remiller, and that spear had the power to kill deities."
"Later..."
"The king of the Cologne Kingdom obtained it."
"Angel Remiller was a servant of the Dawn Sovereign, and the Cologne Kingdom worshipped the Sun Sovereign. Remiller enticed the king of Cologne, leading him to kill the Sun Sovereign with the Godslayer Spear."
"So..." Blaze interjected,
"Did the Dawn Sovereign win in the end?"
"No!" Monica shook her head, her expression odd. "Do you know the surname of the Cologne Kingdom?"
"What?"
"Gangro!"
"Gangro?" Blaze furrowed her brows, her eyes suddenly brightening as she stood up. "Luther Gangro, the first president of the Alliance!"
"That's right." Monica nodded. "He was not only the first president of the Alliance but also the first vampire. He created the twelve vampire clans."
"Killing the Sun Sovereign was just the beginning. He went on to kill other deities until the gods fell!"
"Could Gangro kill the gods?"
Street Stall.
Barrow spoke with curiosity:
"Aren't the gods immortal? With their Sixth Tier power, could they be killed by mortals?"
"Yes." Ancient God Es, still dressed as a young girl, sat on a stool, swinging her legs as she laughed, "Normally, mortals can't kill deities, but there are exceptions."
"Gangro appeared to worship the Dawn Sovereign, but in truth, he never liked the high and mighty gods."
"He didn't use the Godslayer Spear to assassinate the deities but instead ground it into a powder and had some people ingest it."
"Giggle..."
"I don't know what he did, but the faith of those people was no longer a source of power for the gods but poison."
"The gods died from consuming the poisoned faith, and before they died, they cursed that group of people..."
"Turning them into vampires!"
"Vampires can't reproduce, so the poison only affects a small number of people. As long as they are all eliminated, the gods can safely return. So, the Temple of the Gods has given the task of resurrecting the gods and killing the vampires equal priority."
