The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 576 - Entering Imperial College

The four God Kings, Death, Darkness, Blaze, and Commerce, soon arrived. Their presence made Han Wu feel much more secure. He was about to touch the barrier and enter the college when a black shadow stopped him.

Darkness spoke first, his tone direct. “The space within the college has been sealed. We can’t teleport inside directly, nor can we communicate with those within. It’s also very likely that we will be unable to open our divine realm to summon our units once we enter. I suggest we summon our units now, just in case.”

The others hadn’t considered that possibility. Realizing the risk, they summoned their strongest units to aid them in battle.

Death was one of the oldest God Kings. His overall strength ranked highest among the four, and his units were the strongest. He summoned thirty-two units. Two of them were World life forms, while the rest were Heavensunder life forms.

The moment his units emerged, the Will of the Divine Civilization immediately detected them. However, upon sensing the Divine Points radiating from them, it imposed no restrictions.

Darkness was only slightly weaker compared to Death. He summoned two World life forms and twenty-five Heavenrender life forms.

Next came the Blazing God King, who had ascended only recently. His units were slightly weaker. He had no World life forms and only one Heavenrender life form, but he compensated with eighty Earthsunder life forms. They all originated from the Fire Ring that he had previously purchased from Han Wu. The ring continuously supplied him with energy, and with enough time, it would allow him to produce more powerful units.

Last was Commerce, the weakest of the four. He hesitated for some time before summoning five Earthsunder life forms.

The other three God Kings looked at him, and he spoke with dissatisfaction. “We are here to rescue Imperial College together. There’s no need to compare ourselves to one another.”

Han Wu thought, It’s true that there’s no need to compare to one another, but why are you summoning only five Earthsunder life forms? How stingy can you be?

Still, Commerce himself was a World life form, and his presence alone would help them a lot.

Then it was Han Wu's turn. He opened a gate to his divine realm, and a formation of powerful units walked out. The first to step through was a smiling young woman wearing an all-black dress. She was holding only a massive mouse that glistened with darkness.

She was the other World life form within Han Wu’s divine realm, the Umbral Mouse. Her strength had advanced greatly, especially after consuming most of the energy from Shadow Demon, Faido’s strongest underling.

Shadow Demon and the Umbral Mouse belonged to two closely connected races. Since Shadow Demon had already reached the World rank, the Umbral Mouse had only needed to refine the absorbed energy. Her power had risen rapidly, until she became Han Wu’s second World life form.

Unfortunately, the Umbral Mouse was still the same. Even after gaining Shadow Demon’s power, she still hadn’t learned any attacking Skills. In a sense, she was an extreme specialist.

Following the Umbral Mouse was the Origin of Mutation, Han Wu’s strongest unit and target for Replicate. After going through the Death Tower within the divine realm, it had gotten stronger, though it was exuding only the aura of a Sage life form.

The four God Kings grew interested when they sensed the Origin of Mutation’s strange aura, but this wasn’t the time to investigate.

Han Wu then summoned six Heavenrender life forms, surpassing even what Commerce had summoned. He was a newly ascended Major God, yet he already commanded Heavenrender and World life forms. By contrast, Commerce had been a God King for so many years and still lacked a proper unit. The contrast was embarrassing.

Commerce looked at Han Wu’s units, then looked back at his five Earthsunder life forms with a trace of shame. Out of frustration, he commanded his units to approach the barrier surrounding the college.

The moment they came into contact with it, the barrier swallowed them. All connection to the outside world vanished. Commerce noted that the strands of faith were still there. He could faintly feel their presence, which meant they were alive.

The four God Kings examined the situation and quickly formed a rough understanding of the barrier.

Death spoke first. “It seems to be a barrier that only allows one-way entry.”

“Can we break it?” Darkness asked.

“We can, but it will take time. Even with the four of us here, it would take at least half a day,” Death replied.

Han Wu immediately saw the problem. That was far too long. By the time they broke through the barrier, many students and lecturers would likely already be dead. The earlier they entered, the more lives they could save.

“Your Highnesses, please stop wasting time and follow me into the college to investigate what has gone wrong,” Han Wu urged.

The four God Kings froze and stared at him in confusion. Since their ascension, no one had ever pressed them to act faster. Han Wu was the first.

Death nodded. “In that case, we should stop wasting time and enter the barrier.”

Darkness agreed. “No problem.”

Blaze and Commerce were weaker than the other two God Kings, so they fell in behind them.

They stepped into the barrier and were met with utter chaos. Destruction consumed the college. Buildings lay in ruins, rubble filled the open grounds, and the air rang with the cries of students screaming for help.

“Help me! How could you be so shameless? You said you wouldn’t hurt us if we stayed out of it!” a girl shouted as she fled.

Someone was chasing close behind her. That certain someone exuded a World aura.

“Third Brother made that promise. What does that have to do with me?” The fourth guard cackled and launched an attack that landed just behind the female student. “I am the fourth, and I love killing. I will kill anyone I see, and you won’t escape me today!”
