Chapter 976: Sharp Turn (Part 2)

Once the God of Aristocracy had ascended the throne, the MC, the God of Diplomacy, stepped forward and passed the scepter that represented the God King title to them.

The God of Aristocracy’s eyes were sparkling with joy, but their face was serene and unreadable. They received the scepter peacefully.

“Today is a glorious day,” they said. “Over the past few years, it has been hard on everyone.”

The gods all muttered various phrases along the lines of “not at all,” breaking the ice and acknowledging the God of Aristocracy at the same time.

Just at this moment, a shocked and bewildered expression appeared on the God of Aristocracy’s face. They bent their head assiduously and gazed at the throne they were sitting on.

“Your Majesty, what’s the matter?” the God of Protection asked worriedly.

It had not been easy for the Human God System to regain the glory of the past. They definitely could not afford to lose a leader that could bring them great development and progress!

The God of Aristocracy kept their head bent and did not answer the God of Protection.

The God of Protection furrowed his brows and glanced at the God of Vagrants.

The two Divine Powers used divinity to communicate silently for a while before standing up at the same time, heading for the throne. Something was amiss!

Right at this moment, however, the God of Diplomacy suddenly rushed up and blocked their path.

“Step down!” he yelled loudly. “Do you want to cross Our Majesty!?”

“Are you crazy? There’s something wrong with them right now!”

“Yes, but it is not your place to intervene! Step down!”

The God of Diplomacy was firm in his intervention and wanted to continue arguing with the two Divine Powers. Before he could do so, however, he heard a voice ring out from behind him.

A deep, dark and strong faith that shook the skies suddenly filled the air. This was a faith that no one would give up, a strong and mighty faith.

“Do not worry, I’m fine.”

The gods in the Human God System were all shaken to the core. Even the calmest amongst them could not help but stand up to glance at the shadow sitting on the throne.

The one who had spoken, the shadow, was not the God of Aristocracy, who was adorned in beautiful and stunning ceremonial robes. It was the God of Light, who was dressed fully in a body of black armor. His face was dark and had on a menacing look, with a gaze that pierced one like lightning, inciting fear in all present.

“What is happening!?”

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty has resurrected!”

There was temporal chaos among the human gods, and yet one raised hand by the God of Light was enough to quieten them all down.

“There’s no need to be shocked. There’s also no need to be worried, this is real. It’s not a dream,” the God of Light said somewhat slyly. “As you all can see, I have come back to life. I return to all of you in my original identity as the God King of the Human God System, and will continue to lead you all and bring us to glory like I had before.”

A few innocent, more naive gods couldn’t help but directly let out shouts of joy. On the other hand, a few wiser, older gods couldn’t help but feel slightly worried.

The resurrection of the God of Light was, of course, good news. However, they worried about the reaction of the Master of Order and the Master of Void Mask. What would they do or say? They definitely would not simply let the God of Light resurrect without any objection…

The next few words that came out of the God of Light’s mouth further shocked everyone present.

“To celebrate my resurrection, let us make use of the remaining useless fools out there.” He smiled an evil smile that had absolutely no trace of goodness. “Let the sacrifices begin!”

In an instant, the entire God Kingdom of the Human God System turned fully black like a giant, hard black stone. It suddenly appeared outside of itself and blocked the Master of Order and the Master of Void Mask, who were about to rush in.

“Oh no! We’re too late!” The Master of Order furrowed his brows.

Sui Xiong’s brows furrowed as well, and he immediately contacted his friends who were present at the coronation ceremony for the God of Aristocracy.

“Don’t waste time, quickly let go of your clones!”

However, it was too late. At the scene, all the gods, evil gods and demigods were all frozen like wooden statues, motionless. Under their feet, the giant magical array was glowing with a strange sort of light. This light was extremely bright, but yet it gave off an extremely evil vibe.

Under this evil glow, the clones of those present dissolved into a pool of bloody water and were absorbed into the ground. At the exact same time, their original physical bodies back in their own God Kingdom simultaneously exploded, causing the God Kingdoms to shake. A few gods who did not have souls to allow them to resurrect as well as those of a lower status were directly removed from the God Kingdom as well.

Inside the Pantheon temple, there was absolute chaos. In this short period of time, a majority of the seats, as well as the physical bodies of all the gods they contained, had disappeared at the same time. One was also unsure as to when or whether they would resurrect, as well as the number of who could do so… After all, there were several weak Divine Powers who did not have souls in the first place.

Sui Xiong and the Master of Order were both painfully aware of this, of course. After glancing at each other, they reached out without hesitation and launched a massive attack on the Human God System’s God Kingdom.

Previously, they were already unable to stop the resurrection of the God of Light. Now, they could only try to resolve the issue by making use of the God of Light’s incomplete power to destroy the entire Human God System’s God Kingdom along with him! As for the human gods… it was still possible for them to save these gods after they had destroyed the God of Light.

The combined attack by the two great Divine Powers was extremely powerful. However, when the attack hit the Human God System’s God Kingdom, which was now pitch black, there was not even a single crack that appeared on its surface.

From within the God Kingdom, the God of Light let out a hearty laugh.

“Do you still think that I’m the old me?” As he laughed uproariously, the God of Light emerged from the Human God System’s God Kingdom.

He was wearing a thick layer of dragon-printed, black armor while holding a sharp and deadly glaive, making the God of Light look extremely fierce and evil. Even with such fearsome-looking clothes and weapons, they were nothing compared to the evil look that was on his face.

“Being a great Divine Power is not the final rank of this world. Well, you could also say that the title of a great Divine Power that the both of you possess is actually incomplete. I, however, am different.” There was a cocky look on the God of Light’s face as he glanced scornfully at Sui Xiong and the Master of Order. “I have greatly surpassed you all and have reached an even higher level. Even if the both of you work together, you will definitely not be able to match up to me and will be killed by my hands.”

Sui Xiong and the Master of Order did not waste time trying to rebut the God of Light and instead rushed up towards him together.

Their attack was seamless and landed squarely on the unprotected God of Light’s body. However, it simply passed through his body and had no effect whatsoever, as if the God of Light were just a shadow and not an actual physical entity before their very eyes.

Sui Xiong and the Master of Order’s faces immediately changed as they had not expected this outcome at all. Towards great Divine Powers, the idea of physical entities versus shadows was never an issue. As long as they wanted to launch an attack, they could hit anywhere they wished, even if the enemy was not physically in front of them. Whether or not they could see the enemy was usually not an issue as well. Since they had decided to attack the God of Light together, unless the God of Light could singlehandedly defend against all their attacks, he should at least receive one or two blows instead of being how he was now, unharmed and calm.

The God of Light was completely oblivious towards the attack by Sui Xiong and the Master of Order. He instead spoke up with a smug expression on his face that made one feel like punching him and breaking his nose. “You both should be shocked by the lack of effect of your attack on me! Well, there isn’t much to be surprised about. I already mentioned this previously: I have already surpassed the level of a great Divine Power and reached a boundary higher than you could imagine. This is the true power of the great Divine Power Realm!

“I’m sure the both of you would like to reach this level as well. It’s time for you to activate your brain cells and start thinking hard. Maybe you should learn from me and my previous death, so as to understand my strength and how I reached this level… That is, if you stay alive long enough to do so!”
