The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 626 - Slaughter Knife

The liger’s death not only gave Han Wu experience points, but also 80 gold and its pelt. Placing his hand on the material, he saw it could be used to craft a variety of items. At the moment, he also had a total of 189 gold—50 came from the Demon Soldier Ants, 80 from the liger, and 59 from his locusts’ shared gold.

If he had powerful locusts, he could easily stomp the enemy’s crystal. Unfortunately, at his level, he found it hard to roam his own territory, much less destroy the opponent’s crystal.

Checking the map, he noted that six nests were in cooldown. One from the top, one from the bottom, and four from the middle. He and the Origin of Mutation were clearly very efficient, each equivalent to two Xu Hais or four Commerce God Kings and Jia Guis.

As he glanced at the map, he saw that another nest in the middle had been defeated. At this rate, they would likely destroy all the middle nests within a few hours. Han Wu decided to change directions.

After farming some more, he realized the nests were actually a type of resource. Having more nests would raise the speed at which they could level up. The Origin of Mutation could handle all of the nests in the middle, and the top and bottom nests would be dealt with in due time.

With all three lanes accounted for, Han Wu pondered the bold idea of heading into enemy territory to farm their nests instead. Defeating nests on the enemy side meant occupying one of their resources. Every nest he conquered would only widen the gap between the two teams, effectively securing victory for their side.

Gratified with this strategy, Han Wu charged in the direction of the opponent’s territory, dealing with any nest he came across along the way. On the journey, he ended up leveling up twice, placing him at level four. When it came to upgrades, he selected the option to unlock his strength by 1% both times.

Half an hour later, he reached the border between the two lands. The area in front of him was the enemy’s territory. Although the map revealed nothing but white fog, Han Wu could observe the land with his own eyes.

There was a nest situated near the border of the two lands with eight Saber Rabbits. As no one had dealt with them for a while, the rabbits had reached level 6.

A thrill ran up Han Wu’s spine just considering the amount of experience he would get. It could even be enough for him to level up twice!

Deciding to act swiftly, he used Black Dragonification to turn into a black dragon. Unfortunately, having only 3% of his strength unlocked meant he wasn’t large at all—only 3 meters long.

Though not as intimidating as a Great Dragon, he was still in excellent form. This form doubled his strength, which would make it effortless for him to defeat the rabbits.

He charged in and started beating up the Saber Rabbits. The rabbits fought back valiantly, but couldn’t pierce through his scales. It only took him a minute and twelve seconds to defeat them all, obtaining an abundance of experience, gold, and materials in the process.

Having reached level 5, he was once again given three options to upgrade himself. The reward selection was noticeably better this time.

[1: Unlock 2% Strength]

[2: Upgrade Black Dragonification]

[3: Special Equipment: Slaughter Knife]

Han Wu carefully considered the latter two options. Upgrading the Black Dragonification granted him the Black Dragon King Transformation and would triple his power while transformed. It was extremely tempting.

However, after checking the stats for Slaughter Knife, he discovered that it could unlock 1% of his strength after killing 100 life forms with it. Han Wu’s eyes lit up with glee.

Strength was the basis of everything. Even a 1% increase had a notable effect on his abilities. Thus, he chose to abandon the second option in favor of a strong foundation.

Despite not having an equipment slot yet, Han Wu decisively chose Slaughter Knife. With the special equipment ready to go, Han Wu’s desire to level up only grew more fervent, prompting him to venture ever deeper into enemy territory.

Outside the challenge grounds, the livestream displayed the conditions inside the competition venue. The spectators held their breath as they saw Han Wu rashly enter the enemy’s territory.

The top-down view of the match showed Carnage and Warmaster lying in wait ahead of Han Wu, as if aware that he would appear on their path.

The livestream became flooded with comments crying “rigged” to express their opposition.

“Everyone, don’t worry. Warmaster and Carnage aren’t there because it’s rigged, nor is it a coincidence,” Qiu Yun hastily explained. “It’s because the Divine River Civilization’s team has a powerful sensory-type warrior. His title is Oracle. You can see that the first ability he selected is called All-seeing. This ability allows him to view the entire field from above. That’s why Warmaster and Carnage know to wait for Han Wu there.”

Qiu Yun’s commentary cleared up most of the spectators’ doubts, and the comments saying “rigged” in the chat rapidly disappeared.

“Doesn’t that mean Han Wu is in great danger right now?” Yu Meng exclaimed in alarm.

That single sentence tugged at the hearts of many audience members watching the livestream.

“Who is this Han Wu that Yu Meng cares so much about? I’m going to look him up.”

Thirty seconds later, this guy posted another comment. “I’m an idiot to even dare question the ability of our Boss Han Wu. He’s too overpowered!”

“He’s a second year, but he’s not only ascended as a Major God, but also the owner of the Blood Coliseum?! Is this real?”

“I feel like my university education was a waste. Stupid principal, give me a refund!”

Han Wu’s achievements left the commenters and audience members in shock.

Even so, that didn’t change the fact that he was walking steadily into Warmaster and Carnage’s trap.

Everyone, including the emcees, had their eyes fixed firmly on the screen.
