The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 577 - Consecutive Killings

The fourth guard splayed his palm, and a strange wind arose in the air. Thousands of wind palms blocked the girl’s escape paths. As they slowly closed in on her, she closed her eyes in despair, preparing for a painful death.

Nothing happened.

She hesitantly peeked an eye open. A dependable figure had blocked the palms and was destroying them with ease.

“Do you still have the strength?” Han Wu asked the girl, keeping his eyes fixed on the fourth guard. “Run southwest. It’s safer there.”

The girl nodded before rushing southwest.

Meanwhile, the fourth guard was eyeing Han Wu with glee. “Killing one strong person is far better than killing ten weaklings! Brat, you’re worthy of being my prey!”

Anger welled up within Han Wu as he took in the destroyed college around him. They had ravaged his school! More concerning than the ruined building, however, was the well-being of his mentor and friends.

Although Han Wu couldn’t discern the fourth guard’s strength through presence alone, the floating Divine Ring was enough to show that he was a World life form. Only World life forms could fight another World life form.

“Who are you?” Han Wu questioned as he gathered his energy. “Why are you destroying the Imperial College?”

“I’ll tell you once you’re dead!” The fourth guard cackled, thrusting his palm forward numerous times, filling the space with palm illusions.

As the fourth guard was a World life form, Han Wu decided to go all out from the beginning. Channeling his energy into Replicate, he grew into a World life form, and the elemental Divine Ring appeared behind him.

This wasn’t the end of it, as he then activated the Black Dragon King Transformation as well. Dense Dark Energy took over half of his Divine Ring and infused it with the power of Dragon Fear.

Dragon Fear alone was enough to shatter most of the palm illusions. A serious look came over the fourth guard’s face as he too decided to go all out against the now World-life-form Han Wu.

The fourth guard’s hands turned a jade-like color. The Divine Ring behind him mirrored that transformation, becoming akin to a jade ring that radiated soft light.

Born from the True Martial Civilization, the fourth guard didn’t hesitate to use his strongest Skill, the Profound Jade Coffin Splitter! It was a Skill strong enough to injure even a World life form.

Han Wu retreated, simultaneously opening his dragon maw to unleash his destructive dragon breath. Even the Profound Jade Coffin Splitter couldn’t block the powerful debuffs from the dragon breath, much less the four additional attributes infused into the attack as well.

Only a pair of jade-like hand bones and a Divine Ring remained after Han Wu ended his barrage. Unfortunately, the strength of his attack came at the cost of high energy consumption. Han Wu wouldn’t be able to use the Black Dragon King Transformation for an entire hour.

Turning back to his human form, he collected the jade bones and the divine ring before placing them in a knapsack. He needed to rescue even more students.

At the same time, the other God Kings had encountered similar issues after separating.

However, unlike Han Wu, they were having a far easier time defeating their enemies.

They had encountered the eleventh guard, who hailed from the Malevolent Civilization. The guard prepared to kill the four God Kings and their units with a cursed technique, but before he could act, Death struck first.

“Kill yourself,” Death ordered, pointing at the eleventh guard.

The eleventh guard uncontrollably choked himself with his own hands while unleashing all of the curses he knew onto himself. In the end, he died in terrified bewilderment—a meaningless death.

With that, Death recalled his command.

As the God King of Death, he held dominion over the purest form of Death. Only those stronger than him, or with willpower that exceeded his, could ever hope to survive under the Proclamation of Death, much less escape it.

Both Blaze and Commerce were stunned. While they had known about the massive gap in power between them and Death, they had never expected it to be that wide, especially for Blaze.

Blaze was roughly as strong as the eleventh guard, and a fight between them would’ve been a true coin toss when it came to victory. After witnessing Death kill the eleventh guard with a single utterance, Blaze realized that his strength was better framed as equally weak instead. After all, if he were to fight Death, he would likely die instantly as well.

What Blaze didn’t know was the caveats that Death kept secret about his powers.

In truth, Death had spent a third of his energy killing the eleventh guard, and he decided right then to reduce the number of times he fought alone in the future to preserve his strength. The two World life forms that he had summoned would protect him from any ambushes.

Darkness used his powers to check the eleventh guard’s corpse. After confirming that there wasn’t any trap, he brought out his Darkness Jurisdiction.

The Darkness Jurisdiction was extremely versatile and could be used to attack, curse, and summon Dark Beings or Dark Undead.

Dark Energy flowed into the corpse. Its eyelids fluttered open, and it stood up in an uncannily disjointed manner.

The God King of Darkness had made the eleventh guard into a Dark Undead. Part of its powers from before its death had been preserved, and it also retained its rank as a World life form. A twisted Divine Ring formed from darkness and bleak gray appeared behind it. It was truly unnatural to look at.

“Go and kill your companions,” Darkness commanded.

The Dark Undead sprang into action, charging toward where its previous companions had last been seen.
