Jerome Quintus calmly instructed without showing any emotion. “Yes,” replied the servant. Soon, Joe Quintus, dressed fully in black with his glasses removed and hair slicked back, entered through the door. He no longer carried the temperament of a feeble bookworm, but was instead exuding the threatening aura of an authority figure. Once inside, Joe immediately greeted Jerome and Jemma Quintus. However, there wasn’t a hint of respect in his tone as he said, “Joe Quintus, here to greet Second Uncle and Fourth Aunt.” Jerome and Jemma didn’t press on this issue. After all, each one of them had ulterior motives. They all knew what the other was thinking, so there was no need to pay such formalities any mind. “Joe, we’re very saddened by your father and brother’s issue. We also hope you’ll be able to cheer up soon and stand up again,” Jerome said. “Thank you for your kind words, Second Uncle.” Joe nodded. “Father and Big Brother’s deaths were too tragic. And it was the fault of K
There was no need for Joe Quintus to put on an act. In fact, he had come here just to tell Jerome and Jemma Quintus that he would become the family’s patriarch. Moreover, he didn’t come here to discuss this with them, but to gain their affirmation instead. “Joe Quintus, the nerve of you! Ungrateful child!” yelled Jerome.He didn’t anticipate such a reaction from Joe, so he couldn’t contain himself anymore. Since Joe had torn down all pretense, there was no need for Jerome to continue faking it. “Haha, ungrateful?” Joe roared in laughter. “Second Uncle, it was you who said you didn’t qualify as the head of household. What? Are you going back on your word so soon?” For a moment, Jerome was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Jemma spoke, “Joe Quintus, you’re only Big Brother’s illegitimate child. You have no right to take the Quintus family’s throne.” At the mention of ‘illegitimate child’, Joe’s mental state seemed to have suffered a huge stimulation. Immediately, the hostility h
Buzz! Jemma Quintus only felt her mind explode. What did Joe Quintus mean by this? Could he mean that Jakoda Quintus and Yulian Quintus were both murdered by him? This was too insane. Was Joe a demon? How could he do such a thing? For a moment, Jemma could sense every cell in her body being submerged in deep fear. It was a kind of horror that stemmed from within her soul, causing her body to shiver uncontrollably. “Hehehe!” Joe chuckled before getting up and turning to look at Jerome Quintus. By now, Jerome was frightened as well. Because this was his first time realizing how crazed and terrifying this illegitimate child whom the family had been underestimating was. “Second Uncle, it’s now time for you to choose.” As Joe spoke, Serpent held his snake-shaped soft sword to Jerome’s neck. There was an invisible and piercing aura seeping out of Serpent’s blade. Jerome had no idea if he was hallucinating, but he felt a stinging pain around his neck. “Second Uncle, I’m giving y
Of the Quintus family resources, Quintus Gym was the least remarkable business and of the least worth. But at the same time, it was also the family’s most important asset. To be precise, it couldn’t be considered a business because it was the residence of Quintus family’s third master, Lewis Quintus. Lewis Quintus had a martial arts complex and was always immersed in studying martial arts. In his younger days, he set up this gym and hosted highly rewarded tournaments for the sake of attracting experts to duel with him. However, three years ago, Lewis removed the tournament when he realized that everything had become meaningless. None of the experts who came to challenge him could match up to him. Hence, for the past three years, Lewis had been living in this gym alone. He rarely went out and would stay there to develop his abilities whenever he had time. This was the reason why outsiders said the Quintus family’s third master was a martial arts maniac. They said he had no int
Crackle!Outside the door, another bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the deluge of rain came pouring down right on schedule.Lewis Quintus’ face once again displayed a hint of profound bitterness as he stood up and strode towards the door of the assembly hall.Outside the martial arts complex, leather soles trampled the ground, mingling with the sound of torrential rainwater pelting down.Pitter-patter!Splish-splash!“Faron, won’t you… call me Father?”Uttering these words had sapped away all of Lewis’ strength; he had never lowered himself in front of his son to such a degree since the day Faron was born.On the other end of the call, Faron Quintus was left stunned. “Are you pulling my leg, old man? You rarely ever drink. Have you gotten drunk today?“If you really miss me, drop your stinking pride for once. Do you want me to come see you, or do you want to meet me in America? I’ll even take you sightseeing here.”However, Faron was destined to be unable to hear his fa
No one knew whether or not the stone structure had been made brittle with age. In any case, the entire wall collapsed when Kamaitachi collided with it.The battle lasted less than three minutes, ending with Kamaitachi and Phoenix’s defeat. Despite having joined forces, they were still no match for Lewis Quintus.Such a sight left even Joe Quintus, who always had a plan, astonished. From the start, he had known that Lewis was formidable, but he had not expected the man to be quite this powerful.Lewis was indeed worthy of being the Quintus family’s martial arts enthusiast. With strength like his, even if one were to look to the entire south, he would probably be among the best.Rumble…Thunder rolled overhead like the fury of the gods.A bolt of lightning streaked across the length of the sky, and the light illuminated Joe’s face. In that instant, Lewis could discern a hint of fear in Joe’s countenance.“You’re afraid,” said Lewis, a hint of sardonicism surfacing in his tone. “Yo
In a matter of seconds, Raiden dealt a barrage of blows to Lewis in succession. With one final blow, Raiden vaulted high into the air and struck down like a thunderbolt, smashing Lewis’s skull.Boom!It was as if Lewis had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank as blood streamed out of his mouth, nose, and ears.Lewis fell to his knees with a resounding thud, his head sagging, and never got up again.With that, Raiden called it a day. Taking one more look at the still-kneeling Lewis, he saluted him—a show of respect from one strong man to another.Kamaitachi and Phoenix came his way and greeted him with great respect, “Master Raiden.”“Hm,” Raiden responded indifferently, then turned to look at Joe.Armed with a dagger in his hand, Joe approached Lewis. His visage was no different from a devil’s as he cruelly stabbed the blade into the downed martial artist’s chest.Raiden frowned, grabbing Joe’s wrist as he coldly questioned, “What are you doing?”Joe looked downright
Tyr Summers was the first to greet the other party by name.There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, before a deep, steadfast voice filtered through, “You’ve grown up. You don’t even call me uncle anymore.”“Is there really a need?” Tyr chuckled. “After all, we’ll be enemies soon enough. Did the Summers family send you here because they finally decided they couldn’t sit still anymore?”“I didn’t come to the south for you. The Quintus family was originally a chess piece of the Summers family. It’s just that fate is fickle, and I got involved in your mess. I naturally would know about things like that, Tyr. Why don’t you help me this once?”“Help you?” asked Tyr, huffing out a laugh. It was as if he had heard the most hilarious joke of the century. “Do you want me to restrain myself, go see the Summers family with you, and then obediently let that woman order someone to extract my bone marrow and give it to Kirin Summers?”“That’s pretty much what I meant,” repli
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
