Chapter 42: Chapter 42-Battle with Full Gods
Ernst had fully consolidated his breakthrough to a full God for the past month. He already finished fusing his insights in the same Elemental Laws. His bodily defense is now comparable to a Highgod artifact. His divine sense have increase by ten times and can cover half of the thirteenth floor.
"It's time to see what's inside these interspatial rings." Ernst binds every interspatial ring with his blood and took out everything inside and place it to the ground.
He did a quick inventory on the treasures of the dead Demigods. In the end, he was disappointed. "These guys are too poor. I'm only found more than one million inkstones with various artifacts and divine sparks. If I sell the artifacts and divine sparks in the Infernal Realm, I could only get less than twenty thousand inkstones. Enough for this. It's time to go to the fourteenth floor and see how powerful those full Gods are." Ernst smiles in anticipation for his upcoming battle against the full Gods. Flying towards the entrance to the fourteenth floor.
Seeing Ernst already left, the two Island Lord and their subordinates watching from afar could finally relax. During the past months, when Ernst was fusing with his insights, they all live in fear in their islands. After Ernst promoted to a full God, they are even more terrified. Now, Ernst already left, they can finally feel happiness for being the survivor of disaster.
"The evil God finally left, let's celebrate." One of the Island Lord shouted.
"Yeah.Celebration." Every Demigod cheered.
Stepping in the fourteenth floor, Ernst observes the surroundings. The fourteenth floor is an ice world similar to the eight floor, but much colder. In the distance, he can sense more than two thousand full Gods clustered in the three places. He also noticed, there are three small cities made of ice. Each city have a patrolling guards at the city walls.
Ernst looks at the nearest city and smiles, then he flew leisurely towards the city.
Nearing the city, the city guards saw an unknown God approaching their city. They become vigilant. "What if this God is an enemy from the other two cities." They thought.
"Halt! No one is allowed to enter without inspection." An angry guard roared at Ernst.
Ernst did not mind the guard's warning. He flew inside the city and landed at the center.
The full Gods living in the city were annoyed by the intruder who did not know the rules. Almost all citizens of the city arrives in the city center, surrounding Ernst.
"What courage? Are you not from this floor? Don't you know the rules? For ten thousand years, no one violate the rules. Any violators will be punished severely." The city leader bellows angrily. They are living in this city ever since they are imprisoned in this floor. The rules are strictly enforced to avoid sneak attacks from the other two cities.
Ernst just shook his head after hearing the city leader. He intentionally angers them so that they can fight them with all they got.
Ernst shows the white of his teeth and smiles widely, then began talking at the inhabitants of the city. "I'm here to rob all of you. Hurry up! Unbind your interspatial rings and show me all your treasures including inkstones, artifact and divine sparks. If you are all obedient, maybe I will let you all live."
The inhabitants of the city were all stunned of Ernst brazenness. They all thought to themselves, "He is going to rob their treasures and let them live if they are obedient.". They felt they being mocked. There are at least more than six hundred Gods here surrounding a single person.
"Hahaha..." The city leader started laughing. "Want to rob us? Do you know how many Gods are surrounding you? Instead of robbing us, you should be asking for our forgiveness for trespassing in our city. Guards. Seize him!"
Over three hundred Gods walk towards Ernst wielding their weapons with a smile of ridicule on their faces.
Ernst becomes excited seeing the approaching Gods. With a flip of his hand, the Blackshadow sword appears.
The city leader begins to frown, seeing the intruder did now want to surrender, he orders quickly.
"Kill him!"
Over three hundred Gods obeys the city leader's order and prepare their most powerful attacks.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
Different rays of light moves towards Ernst while there are over two hundred weapon shadows following the rays of lights. These are soul attacks and material attacks.
Ernst is really excited. He suddenly vanishes from his spot and appears near the attacking Gods. With lightning fast movements, he manage to evade every soul attacks while slashing his sword continuously at every opponent within his reach.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"
One God after another falls to the ground. The Gods have been divided in two from head to bottom.
In the blink of an eye, all the attacking Gods are lying on the ice cold ground. The previously white-ice colored ground, now turns into a bloody color.
The city leader was shaking nonstop as look over the dead bodies of Gods lying on the ground. This time, they met an expert.
With a thought, Ernst collected the interspatial rings, artifacts, divine sparks and transparent attribute bubbles. He smiles seeing the attribute bubbles:
(Physical Attributes +301,000)
(Spiritual Energy +301,000)
(Laws of the Earth +4700)
(Laws of Fire +4500)
(Laws of the Wind +7500)
(Laws of Water +3000)
(Edict of Destruction +4500)
(Edict of Death +4500)
(Edict of Life +500)
After collecting the treasures, Ernst look towards the remaining Gods and said casually. "Now, would you like to unbind you interspatial rings and pour its content to the ground, or I will personally unbind your interspatial rings."
The remaining Gods felt fear and did not hesitate, they immediately unbind their interspatial ring and pours its content to the ground.
Seeing so many treasures, Ernst could not help but smile. There are roughly three hundred million inkstones aside from the artifacts and divine sparks. He collected all the inkstones and choose weapons, defensive and soul protecting artifacts that interest him.
"Thank you for cooperating with me. You can take back the rest. I will stay in this place for a couple of months, so please don't disturb me." After talking, he left and went to a secluded room to absorbs the attribute bubbles.
The city leader and the remaining Gods angrily stared at the leaving intruder who killed their fellow citizens and rob their treasures. They want to kill him, but they are too weak to do anything to him.
After six months, the other two cities, suffered the same fate as the first city. Ernst was not benevolent as he did in the first city. The two cities have been robbed cleanly by him and killed more than half of the population of the last two cities.
Ernst current wealth is more than one billion inkstones, not including the artifacts and divine sparks. Aside from this, he also gathers books about formation, alchemy and crafting. These books may have a huge help to him in the future.
Again, Ernst stayed in the fourteenth floor to fuse Profound Mysteries.
Fifteenth floor. One year later. A battle is ongoing at the desert.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
Hundreds of material attacks from various Gods landed on Ernst body.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
A metallic sound ringing continuously around the battlefield. The previous flat desert is now full of craters, both big and small.
After the dust and smoke was settled, the Gods hope to finally kill the intruder. They tried different attacks, but it did not work. Even their group soul attacks were easily evaded by the intruder.
In the center of the big crater, Ernst clothes are destroyed, his hair was burnt but his body has no injuries.
"My body defensive test is finally finished. Now, I am sure all physical and material attacks are ineffective against me. My only worry is the soul attack of powerful Highgods. I need to strengthen my soul defense." Ernst said to himself.
He look towards the group of Gods who attack him mercilessly with a wide grin. He said to himself. "Now its time to finish this battle."
Ernst's look at the surrounding Gods who are still standing around the crater like an idiot. He immediately charge at the nearest God with his bare hands. After the test, it proves again that his body is his greatest weapon.
"Bang!"
The head of the God exploded after it was hit by Ernst punch. He vanishes again and appears again at the group of Gods.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
In a short time, more than two hundred Gods died.
"Quickly, attack together. If not, we will all die here." A muscular God with a hammer shouted.
Ernst evaded his opponent's soul attacks with minimal movement, but for physical and material attacks, he let it landed on his body.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
A flurry of punches landed on his opponents head. Every punch would produce a sonic boom.
One punch, one kill.
After sometime, the various Gods notices their numbers keep decreasing at an alarming rate. From the previous three thousand Gods, there are now only less than five hundred remaining. If this continues, no one of them could survive.
"I surrender!" One of the Gods shouted.
The remaining Gods realizes their situation and hurriedly shouted. "We surrender!"
Ernst stop attacking after hearing his opponent's surrender. "After killing more than two thousand five hundred Gods, I also felt it was enough, and the test is already completed." Ernst said to himself.
He changes his clothes and walk towards the remaining Gods while collecting the treasures on the ground and attribute bubbles.
"Alright, unbind your interspatial ring and pours its content to the ground for me to see. Aside from the artifacts that interest me, I will take all your inkstones." Ernst said while he observes the remaining Gods.
The remaining Gods have no choice but to unbind their interspatial rings and pours its content to the ground.
Ernst collects all the inkstones, artifacts and books lying on the ground, then leave the other treasures.
"Thank you for giving me your treasures. I will leave now, but please don't disturb me." Ernst said, then he left to find a quiet place.
The remaining Gods look at him with grievance as he left.
Ernst went to one of the oasis in the desert. In there, he binds all the interspatial ring with his blood and pours its content on the sandy ground. All the items are pouring out forming a small mountain.
Seeing the treasures, Ernst laughs heartily.
"Hahaha...I'm rich! The amount of inkstones here are approximately five billion. In addition to the inkstone I robbed earlier and from the lower floors, I have a total of eight billion inkstones. Not including the artifacts and divine sparks. Robbing is really the fastest way to get rich."
"Now, its time to absorb the attribute bubbles and see If I can fuse four Profound Mysteries now." Ernst thought. He absorbs the attribute bubbles from his interspatial ring.
"Crack...crack....."
His bones made a cracking sound while digesting the attribute bubbles. After digesting, his body was strengthened by a bit.
"My original body get stronger again and my body defense improved by a small margin. Hmmmm.....The attribute bubbles are still not enough to fuse four Profound Mysteries. I need to fight and kill Highgods to shorten the fusion time of the Profound Mysteries and increase my understanding of the Laws." Ernst concluded.
