Chereads / Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God / Chapter 560 - Chapter 560: Desperate Straits

Chapter 560 - Chapter 560: Desperate Straits

Rolensia was very cautious.

She knew just how many opportunities an unprotected stray soul fragment wandering outside could give to enemies in the dark. If used in a trap, a piece of one's soul would be far more damaging than hair or flesh.

Therefore, she had no intention of accepting the soul fragment delivered right to her door. Instead, she made up her mind to destroy it and learn about the mastermind's goal in the process.

But in this instant, she suddenly sensed a mysterious power fluctuation.

Next to her, Dong Xun couldn't move at all, but he could feel the power raging in his body, followed by a sharp stab of pain in his heart. A small black dagger instantly shot out, piercing through his chest and aiming straight for Rolensia.

Evil God!

In this instant, Rolensia not only recognized the other party's identity, but she also understood the whole trap.

Using the soul fragment to distract her while the Evil God brought his hidden power inside her Divine Kingdom—that was the other party's true goal!

For Gu Nan, the hardest part to killing greater gods was actually how to get close to them and strike while they were defenseless.

Greater gods who were already vigilant and prepared—like Eugene, Daphne, and the others earlier—were actually not easy to kill at all.

With Gu Nan's current strength, even Austin would have a hard time if he was directly hit by the Evil God physique, but the only problem was that Gu Nan couldn't hit them.

He'd launched a sneak attack on Daphne earlier, but before he could truly strike, the highly-vigilant Goddess of Nature had already avoided it in advance, using her laws to delay Gu Nan's movements slightly and escape.

But not even greater gods could be on high alert all the time. The instant they relaxed was the perfect time for assassination.

This was true for the current Rolensia. Most of her thoughts were focused on the soul fragment, wanting to see what Mu Qishuang's intentions were after setting up such a scheme.

It wasn't that she hadn't checked Dong Xun before, but the Luxuriant Blossoms soul fragment at the forefront of Dong Xun's soul completely covered up Gu Nan's power, and it wasn't until this instant that the hidden fangs were bared.

The black dagger was as fast as lightning, arriving in front of Rolensia almost as soon as it appeared.

Before Rolensia could block the dagger's attack with laws, she realized that the dagger stopped on its own and then exploded.

The energy of shadows instantly filled the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom, and a figure emerged from it, instantly punching down on Rolensia's head.

The shadow dagger was not a fatal attack, but a springboard for Gu Nan's descent!

From the dagger's appearance to Gu Nan's punch, the entire process was completed in one go without giving Rolensia any breathing room.

Rolensia's divine body was shattered without any suspense, and Gu Nan immediately started destroying the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom without hesitation.

During the earlier ambush on Valen, this work was completed by Jiu Po and Lu Wen, but in fact, Gu Nan was equally skilled at it.

He stabbed the shadow longsword into the ground with one hand, and endless shadows quickly spread outward, covering the entire Divine Kingdom in the blink of an eye.

Gu Nan's law of shadows was already at Tier 12, so he was able to do this with ease.

The apostles were dragged directly into the shadows one after another or killed by the emerging shadowy figures. They had no room to resist at all.

In a short seven to eight minutes, the entire Divine Kingdom had been completely destroyed. Gu Nan's efficiency was astonishingly high.

Rolensia never showed up again ever since her divine body was shattered by Gu Nan. But after realizing that it was useless to resist through laws, she finally created another body again.

"Evil God… you are indeed the source of all evil!" Rolensia said in a heavy voice, but she began to radiate a crimson light.

Her Divine Kingdom was invaded and a large number of its inhabitants died, forcing her into desperate straits.

But in the end, Rolensia was a ruthless person who dared to slice up her own soul even before she became a greater god. At this time, she had no intention of just sitting back and waiting for death. Instead, she wanted to make a last ditch effort.

Inexhaustible crimson light burst out of the edge of her Divine Kingdom. On every continent in the World of Gods, people could see a streak of crimson light shooting into the air, drawing a scarlet rainbow in the sky.

And all the greater gods simultaneously responded, rushing to the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom.

During the Great War, everyone's attention was on the frontlines. They didn't expect someone to attack Rolensia, who was in the rear!

In the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom, endless blood pierced Gu Nan's whole body, while Gu Nan's fist also blasted apart Rolensia's head.

Rolensia made the most decisive choice in this split second between life and death—she would force Gu Nan to stay behind at the expense of her own life!

As Rolensia's flesh and blood flew everywhere, Gu Nan's Evil Value soared again, exceeding the threshold of Tier 13, but it was already too late to level up right now. The remaining eleven greater gods had already arrived.

Rolensia had already fallen, but the last trace of crimson light she left behind condensed the remaining power of her Divine Kingdom, trapping Gu Nan like a cage.

Although Gu Nan broke the cage with a single punch, this delayed him for a split second and prevented his immediate escape. Following that, holy light suddenly descended.

"As expected of Rolensia…"

Austin was still the first to show up, and he slashed down with the holy sword without hesitation, sealing Gu Nan's escape path.

If Gu Nan wanted to forcibly retreat, he would inevitably… He retreated!

Gu Nan tanked the holy sword's damage and forcibly opened a spatial passage. This wasn't the first time Austin had seen such a scene.

But the situation was different this time. Austin's expression shifted slightly while his hands kept moving, as if he would let Gu Nan escape, just like this.

But at this moment, an all-consuming darkness fell onto Gu Nan's head, covering his whole body.

Boundless and inescapable.

Goddess of Darkness Daisy!

The scythe surrounded by death energy and the sky-piercing cyan light struck at the same time, targeting Gu Nan's back.

Death God Baal and Ruler of Ashen Cyan Boswell!

Almost instantly, Gu Nan had to face the simultaneous attacks of the four strongest greater gods, and there were more gods arriving behind him.

Just moments earlier, he had put Rolensia in a desperate situation. Now, it was his turn.

"Come!"

Gu Nan's gaze was cold. He took the holy sword's power with his back, then slammed a punch into the death scythe and cyan light, parrying them.

As the holy sword entered his body, terrifying holy flames instantly ignited Gu Nan's whole body, and the all-devouring darkness began to envelope his head, dropping Gu Nan's consciousness into total darkness and making him lose all sense of perception.

The Dark Lady was a top powerhouse who wasn't much weaker than Austin. In terms of the nature of her power, it was even harder for Gu Nan to deal with her.

But Gu Nan still didn't care. Even though he completely lost all his senses, he was still moving forward along a pre-established route.

The route he set was very special. It did not lead to either of the two worlds, but to the Gap World.

The World of Gods was the home base of the gods, and he would have to pass through the dimensional wall to return to the Myriad Heavens, which meant he would likely be stopped midway. Thus, the best destination was undoubtedly the Gap World.

Charge! Charge over!

In the boundless silence and darkness, Gu Nan still maintained his consciousness and clear mind.

At this instant, Gu Nan rushed through the spatial passage, and the combined power of the four greater gods also completely destroyed that space at the same time, leaving no trace behind.

Austin glared coldly at the spot Gu Nan disappeared from and ordered darkly, "Find him."
