“Ghosts do exist.” Magus nodded solemnly.“For instance, think of what happened in God's Tomb. Those Demigods turned into Innate Energy after their deaths. GPE gathered those energies and used them to revive Apophis. The soul and innate energy are quite similar. You did get possessed by the remnant soul of the ancient God back then too.”“Does it mean my mother is very likely to be a spirit”Magus shook his head and said, “If she’s a spirit, you wouldn’t be able to feel her warmth, but you said that you were lying in her arms. Besides, her tomb had been removed and it turned out to be an empty grave. Her body wasn’t in it at all.”“Master Magus, what do you mean by that?”Magus said, “Maybe your mother didn’t die back then.”“If she’s alive, why did she still maintain her youth when I saw her? She doesn’t seem to have aged over the last twenty years!”Magus became solemn at this point. He said, “If this is the case, then there should be another possibility.”“What sort of possi
Tyr and Magus started to drink the water from the river like how they did in their childhood days.A loud and pleasant burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the river upstream just as the two of them were enjoying drinking the refreshing river water.Both the Demigods were taken aback, and they turned their heads around subconsciously. They saw a simple wooden bridge that appeared twenty meters above the river.A group of children, aged six to seven years old, stood on the wooden bridge. Most of them wore burlap clothes, and their hairstyles were combed smoothly and sleek. They weren’t dressed in modern attire; their attire was similar to that of the Aricia Era.Several children had already taken off their pants and displayed their penises. They stood on the bridge and peed in the river. The children’s giggles were heard incessantly.Tyr and Magus looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.“This river water is indeed a little sweet!” Magus looked at Tyr embarrassedly, whil
Everything in this place seemed very dated unlike other places in the outside world. So, it came as no surprise that the kids were given such traditional names. In the countryside, it was common practice to give babies strange names so that they were less likely to get sick while allowing their parents to raise them easier.The two followed the little boy and headed to the village. The sun was nearly setting. Over time, the sky had grown dark.The two noticed an old lady with silver hair running in their direction in a panic as soon as they arrived in the village.“Grandma!” Abraham immediately approached the old woman after spotting her. As soon as he got close to the old lady, she raised her hand and repeatedly smacked his butt. “You brat!” she yelled. “I told you repeatedly to stop fooling around! Stop scurrying about! It’s going to get dark soon! I told you that you can’t stay outside at night fall! Why won’t you listen to me?”Despite appearing to be quite old, the grandmoth
The old lady wanted to say something, but the old man silenced her. Later, she instructed them, “You two can stay here for tonight, but keep in mind that it’s dark now. Regardless of any outside activity or sounds that you hear, you can’t leave the house.”Tyr and Magus looked at each other. The old woman’s words confirmed that whatever they guessed was right.The old lady continued, “Gentleman, it’s quite late now. I’ll clean up the room for you two. I hope you two can make do for one night.”“Thank you so much.”Soon, the old lady was done cleaning the room. After the two washed up, they went to Abraham’s parents’ room.There was a window in the room, but it was tightly shut. The window was sealed with paper, and the forest’s outline could be seen vaguely. Through the paper, they saw the shadows of the trees that swayed in the woods. The window did not provide much sound insulation. The sound of the wind blowing outside could be heard. In short, it gave them a weird sensation.
“Tyr, drip this in your eyes!” Magus tossed a bottle toward Tyr. Tyr opened it and a stench came out of it. “What the hell is this?” Tyr asked with his hand covering his nose.“They’re cow’s tears! You can see those things coming from the underworld after dripping them in your eyes. Simply put, I never had the opportunity to use it in our world, so it might have long since expired. Just deal with it.”Tyr was speechless, but he still dripped the cow’s tears into his eyes. It’s strange how quickly Tyr felt his visibility had increased after that. It implied that the air was filled with something evil. He can see through those things now that he had dripped cow’s tears into his eyes.“From the location of the child’s room, we can roughly deduce that he should have gone into the woods. We have to look for the boy in the woods.”After they left the cottage, Magus determined the location where they needed to look for the boy right away. Tyr agreed with Magus’ point of view. Hence, the
Magus and Tyr were somewhat flabbergasted when they heard the old man’s words. Tyr asked, “Uncle, have you heard about the Aretuza Priests before?”The old man replied, “Doesn’t that term refer to those proficient in the art of taming ghosts and exorcising evil spirits?”“Oh! This is weird.” Magus began wondering on his own.This space was not the same as the outside world. However, Aretuza Peaks truly existed in the outside world, so how were the Aretuza Peaks known to those in this space?“Why would you be aware of the Aretuza Peaks, Grandpa?” Tyr asked with an odd expression.The old man seemed to have thought of something. He explained, “Could it be that you two actually come from the outside world?”“Outside? What are you referring to as ‘outside’?” Magus asked.The old man studied Tyr and Magus’s clothes once more. After a while, he murmured, “You two looked very weird. You don’t look like those who came from the same world as us. My grandfather claims that they arrived he
Following that, those villagers were too afraid to go outside at night. Each night, they lived in intense fear.At this point, the old man was sweating profusely while looking very scared.He continued, “To be honest with you, all the villagers in Dundeeville have died as early as two months ago. No one dares to approach that village since then, even during the daytime. During the night, monsters wander the streets of the village.”After listening to the old man’s story, Tyr was astounded deep down. In this case, there was no doubt that these things that roamed at night were the undead.“Master Magus, after someone with a heavy and foul aura dies, will that person become an undead after their death?” Tyr asked.“No!” Magus repeatedly shook his head. “According to the records in the Aretuza Grimoire, if a person has a strong foul aura after they pass away, that person will only become an evil spirit instead of a zombie,” he explained.“Then… ”Magus said, “The situation in the Mo
The smell of rotting flesh permeated the entire village. Soon after the two arrived in the village, a large number of zombies began to flock toward them.Magus charged at these zombies with his sword without hesitation.Everything the old man described was true. The population of this village was between three hundred and four hundred, which meant Dundeeville’s entire population had turned into zombies. When the two entered the village and made some noises, countless zombies besieged them from all directions. Magus was so excited about this. He took out all the talismans that he had kept for a long time. Then, he began to frantically attack those zombies.After getting used to the atmosphere, Tyr started to feel a little bored, so he was just waving his fists casually. Every punch he blasted would smash a zombie to pieces. Simultaneously, Tyr released some of Demigod’s aura from time to time. This aura alone made the zombies in his vicinity avoid approaching him.To have fun, Mag
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt depressed.“Are you kidding me?” Those from Regal Palace couldn’t accept Magus’s speculation. Clifford chided, “Stop talking nonsense, old priest! My boss has experienced all kinds of life and death challenges along the way. How can he possibly be comatose?”Everyone in Regal Palace was very emotional. Magus just shook his head repeatedly and stopped refuting. Finally, Jim took control of the situation by force and declared, “It’s pointless for us to say all this. Let’s settle the current situation. We’ll discuss the aftermath once Boss is awake.”The battle of Gods had ended. Tyr, who had returned as a God, had slain Apophis and opened up the Heavenly Gate. In order to protect mankind and prevent a recurrence of the tragedy that took place 3,000 years ago, he had forcibly closed the gate with his luck and cultivation. He ended up falling into a coma. No one knew when he would wake up.The threat posed by Apophis had ended. W
Tyr stood before Apophis and raised the Celestial Blade above Apophis’ head. If he continued to let out another powerful slash with his blade, Apophis would disappear from the face of the earth.Yet, Tyr suddenly stopped at this point when he was one step away from wiping out Apophis. He could slay Apophis with a single attack, but he hesitated to kill him.“Muahahahahaha! Bahahahahaha!” Apophis’ hideous laughter suddenly sounded in Tyr’s ears. The eerie laughter made his scalp prickle in discomfort.A crack appeared in the black hole in the void behind Apophis. A flash of white light appeared amid the crack. It appeared as if there was a terrifying eye peeping from somewhere behind the white light from the crack.“What the heck is that thing?”“What’s going on?” Those powerhouses who stood somewhere far away also witnessed the scene.Tyr’s terrifying blade earlier on had shattered the angel who stood behind Apophis and the void into pieces. Perhaps he had used too much power for
The golden dragon constantly churned in the angel’s hands. The moment the majestic beast was released from its restraints, it opened its mouth wide and bit the angel.Tyr waved the Celestial Blade in his hand simultaneously. “Binding Soul!”He performed the sixth move from the Seven Blade Forms casually. Initially, this blade technique belonged to the God’s realm. Since Tyr had become a God, he was capable of displaying the full power of the Seven Blade Forms.It was a peerless attack. Tyr had opened a massive rift in the void, and the crack was still blasting atApophis. In the face of such a terrifying attack, Apophis dared not take it lightly. A huge energy barrier instantly enveloped his body and blocked off Tyr’s attack.With a single blow, Apophis’ energy barrier was shattered. He was also blasted by the attack and flew toward the back. After he stabilized his body, Apophis trembled slightly. At this moment, his expression suddenly turned a little solemn.When he gazed at Tyr
Another terrifying energy ball of light had descended from the sky. It appeared as though a giant meteorite from outer space had fallen from the sky. A large area of whiteness suddenly appeared in front of their eyes. The meridians of those Transformation powerhouses who experienced the frightening energy fluctuation were shattered, and they were on the verge of death.Whether it was the Demigods or general powerhouses, all of them felt that death had come to them and they couldn’t escape.“It’s over!” Jim shut his eyes. The Ragnarok Formation had disintegrated instantly under the second attack of Apophis. Everyone was exposed to this desperate situation of death.Boom!The second ball of light had successfully fallen from the sky. However, it did not cause the same lethal destruction as everyone had imagined. On the contrary, they seemed to have entered a parallel space.They saw the terrifying energy spread frantically in all directions in front of them. These people didn’t feel
At this moment, nearly half of the powerhouses had died under Apophis’ oppression. Even the generals in Regal Palace had suffered casualties. Apophis pushed forward for another kilometer. He almost floated above everyone’s heads at this time.“I’m losing it! How much longer does Tyr need to show up here?” Dillon and Keane vomited blood. That terrifying oppression even made them feel as if all the bones in their bodies were almost broken. “If he doesn’t show up now, all of us would die!”Jim didn’t dare continue to observe the Nostro Compass. Instead, he focused his full attention on the Ragnarok Formation. He seemed to have activated a special ancient formation. In the next second, those white beams of light, which had become much weaker, once again rushed straight into the sky.“Everyone! Form a formation!” Jim roared. “Tyr has become a God, and he’s on his way here! We only need to hang on for thirty minutes!”When the news of Tyr’s return as a God spread, everyone who had fallen
“He’s here!” Everyone on Mount Rospids became alarmed as they witnessed an incredibly powerful force sweeping at them from the horizon. “Start the formation!” Jim erupted with a roar, and everyone used their full power and poured it into the Ragnarok Formation. Immediately, countless beams of light rushed straight into the sky and connected with the huge whirlpool in the sky.“Three thousand kilometers worth of sword energy!”Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Hundreds of thousands of sword energy flew out from the whirlpool as they formed a tidal wave and shot straight toward Apophis. The void shook tremendously. The sword energy poured out frantically and flew for more than ten kilometers.“God Killer Swords!” Apophis was floating in the air. An excited smile appeared on his face in the face of the berserk surging tide of the sword energies.“I can’t believe that formation is capable of piquing my interest in this world. I don’t mind having some fun!”A purple barrier that was shaped w
In the towering crystal tower located in the Arctic, there was a layer of purple light that wrapped all over Apophis’s body, which seemed to be forged by the Amethyst.Under the leadership of the Dark Pope and Dark Priest, many of GPE’s top executives knelt on the ground and worship Apophis.An enormous vortex had formed in the sky. It was formed with the convergence of the reiki in the entire Arctic. Apophis flew into the air. He opened his mouth and sucked the reiki in the vortex ferociously. Soon, he sucked the entire massive vortex into his body.Roar! With a loud roar, the thunderclouds in his surroundings scrambled all over. After a while, Apophis’ back began to crack, and golden wings began to burst out from his back.Two wings, four wings, six wings… In the end, a total of sixteen wings appeared on his back. He appeared incredibly majestic and terrifying.When Dark Pope and others saw this scene, they were very excited.Apophis was suspended high in the sky. He fluttered
Though Tyr was ten kilometers away, Xavion and Magus couldn’t help but feel like they had the urge to kneel down and worship him. Even Cicero, a Son of Heaven, felt as if his legs had gone limp and his body was trembling all over.Roar! Roar! Roar! The roar of the golden dragon came incessantly; its roar resounding throughout the world.Soon, Tyr stepped on the golden dragon and flew down from the void while the Eternal Dragon still hovered in the air.“Tyr, congratulations on becoming a God.” The group couldn’t contain the excitement in their hearts as they walked toward Tyr.“Hmm.” Tyr tucked away the majestic radiance that radiated from his body.The golden light on his body gradually disappeared. When he was reborn, he felt his whole body was brimming with power, and he had just undergone a rebirth.“Tyr, what does it feel like to become a God?” Cicero stared at Tyr with a smile and asked.“Dude, I thought you’ve ascended to the heavenly realm.” Tyr slapped his hand heavily on
“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!” Cicero waved his hand repeatedly. He didn’t expect his nickname to be widespread in Dragun Squad. Even the almighty Demigods like Magus knew his name.Cicero rebuked, “My name is Cicero Julus! I’m not a horny cat!”Magus sized Cicero from the head to toe, a number of questions popping up in his mind.He couldn’t help but ask, “Dude, I heard that you were invited by the squad to explore Emperor Martyn’s royal tomb with Tyr in the past. After that, you shattered the void with a million of clay soldiers inside the royal tomb. Why would you suddenly show up here? According to Tyr, you are most likely to be the reincarnation of Emperor Martyn. By right, you have ascended to the heavenly realm under the escort of the clay soldiers.”“F*ck the heavenly realm!” Cicero cursed loudly. He stared at Tyr, who was waiting for the ninth lightning to strike, and explained, “I’ve broken through the void for the sake of that guy!”“What do you mean?” Magus and Xavion were startl
