Chapter 822: Chapter 346: After Several Days, the God of Slaughter Is Finally Unearthed!
After receiving a response from Kalanis, Lear felt reassured and re-entered Katana.
Controlling the vine body, he flew directly to the excavation site of the God of Slaughter.
The night sky of the Long Thorn Mountain Range was shrouded in mist, the air carried a hint of chill, and the torches at the excavation site flickered in the wind, illuminating the busy figures of the cavemen.
After such a long time, this mountain peak had already been leveled and excavation into the underground had begun.
Looking afar, one could see a huge pit had appeared at the excavation site, with dark red soil piled around, emitting a faint bloody odor in the air.
This soil stained with divine blood would be transported by the Bubble Beast to be dumped back in the Swamp Divine Kingdom.
The Land of Crimson Rot would absorb it, turning it into pure energy; this was all essence and couldn’t be wasted.
All around, thousands of tall and strong Ancient Tree Guardians rooted in the ground, their bodies forming a natural barrier, firmly guarding the area.
The Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights hovered in the air, vigilant against any possible disturbances.
When Lear arrived, the Goddess of Misfortune was solemnly gazing at the ground.
He felt something was off about the other’s aura and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, have you discovered anything?"
The Goddess of Misfortune did not turn around, her eyes fixed on the deep pit.
"You’re just in time, the presence of the God of Slaughter is becoming increasingly strong... it will be excavated no later than tomorrow."
"But I sense, besides the power of the God of Slaughter, there’s a new presence inside."
"I am somewhat uneasy."
Lear’s gaze focused, suddenly becoming vigilant.
To cause the Goddess of Misfortune to feel uneasy?!
This was not a good sign...
"Your Highness, can you discern the origin of that presence?"
The Goddess of Misfortune slightly frowned, deeply gazing at the bottom of the pit.
"Chaos... but not pure, like the remnant of some ancient existence, somewhat similar to the Chaos Grass in your hands, but more frenzied, carrying a flavor of destruction."
"The God of Slaughter fell back then, probably due to a battle against some existence from the chaos..."
Lear raised his brows slightly.
"Your Highness, could it be related to the bone fragment tainted with chaos power..."
The Goddess of Misfortune heard the reminder, nodded then shook her head.
"Although the chaos power below shares the same origin, it’s not a singular existence; it’s more powerful inside."
"The opponent of the God of Slaughter back then was likely no ordinary entity... probably an Ancient God-level creature."
"Ancient God?"
Lear’s gaze focused.
Images of the Ancient God phantom encountered with the Goddess of Misfortune in the Abyss flashed in his mind.
That immortal creature suppressed by the Creator God to the deepest depths of the Abyss, even a mere phantom posed a formidable threat to the Goddess of Misfortune.
Moreover, Kalanis herself possessed Ancient God’s blood... if the God of Slaughter had indeed fought such an existence, there might be even greater secrets hidden at the site of its fall.
The Goddess of Misfortune’s tone grew serious.
"Be careful when the divine body is unearthed tomorrow."
"Although there’s little chaos power remaining, once it gets out of control, it could lead to unpredictable consequences, I will personally stand guard."
"If you wish to wield the authority of slaughter, be prepared mentally..."
Lear nodded.
"I have my own path... my subordinates are more suited to wield the authority of slaughter."
The Goddess of Misfortune was slightly surprised and glanced at him.
"This is an authority that could yield powerful divine power... are you certain you want to give it up?"
Lear smiled.
"What is strong is the person, not the authority."
His attitude coincided with that of Kalanis.
The Goddess of Misfortune looked at him with appreciation.
"You have indeed found your own way."
To withstand the temptation of wielding new authority is rare even among powerful divine spirits.
And those with firm will are invariably beings of great power.
The greater the chew, the less digestible; authority is not about quantity but quality.
Morning of June 14th, Weilu City.
A golden light streaked across the sky.
Kalanis, clad in pure gold armor, her battle spirit burning fiercely like flames, landed upon the city wall.
Her aura was several times sharper than when she left, her strides exuded a terrible pressure that slowed the surrounding space.
The Cold-blooded Cavalry on the city wall felt as though they were being eyeing by an Ancient Giant Dragon at the sight of her.
Hair stood on end, their backs turned chilly.
Even knowing she was an ally, instinctively they grasped their weapons tighter...
Upon learning of the news, Lear immediately returned from Katana to Weilu City.
Summoning her to the City Hall for a meeting.
The moment they met, their eyes met, and they exchanged a smile.
Kalanis’s face carried a hint of chill like a gentle breeze, softening her expression.
She was the first to hold her chest and bow.
"Good day, Milord..."
Lear’s gaze swept over her armor, feeling its surging power, he praised.
"No need for excessive courtesy... had a fruitful harvest over at Firina?"
When she wielded the authority of contract, he was aware, though he hadn’t imagined she would reap such unexpected rewards this time.
Kalanis slightly nodded, a complex glance flashed in her eyes.
"Firina truly is an admirable figure."
"The divine spirits of Lorand City have been entirely cleared, and I snatched 60% of the authority from the hands of the God of Contract."
"However..."
She paused, her tone somber.
"Firina executed the Rose Canon, using legal codes to expel the gods... she’s bound to face backlash."
Firina’s ideals were certainly noble, but challenging the limits of the gods, sooner or later, those immortal beings would unleash their wrath.
Yet this calamity must be handled by Firina herself, otherwise, how could she tame the divine spirits and govern the world with Law?!
