The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 631 - Truth of the Match

Jia Gui only dared to look back after running a distance away. Confirming that no one had given chase, he let out a long breath of relief, patting his chest. “That was terrifying. I thought he was going to kill me!”

At that moment, he realized he had run all this way but had yet to accomplish anything.

No! I can’t let them say I’m slacking off!

Despite his internal convictions, he was undeniably frightened of the Divine River Civilization’s team, fearing that every member was as intimidating as Carnage.

After much consideration, Jia Gui decided to return to hunt more beasts. Moving like the wind, he ran back to his territory in the blink of an eye.

He searched the map for uncleared nests and soon reached one. Xu Hai was using Fireball to land the final blow on the beast. One more strike, and he would gain experience and gold.

At the last second, Jia Gui abruptly appeared and slapped the beast. With 52% of his strength unlocked, even a casual slap from Jia Gui was as powerful as a blow from a Heavenrender life form. The beast was turned into meat paste.

After claiming the experience and gold, Jia Gui chuckled and said, “No need to thank me.”

With that, he disappeared, already running toward the next nest.

Xu Hai clenched his fists in anger. He hadn’t felt such a strong desire to hit someone since ascending as a God King, not even when the Thirteen Guards invaded the Imperial College.

The beast had been on the verge of death after a full minute of Xu Hai wearing it down. For Jia Gui to appear and steal his kill was outrageously despicable.

“Fuck you!” Xu Hai cursed furiously.

Jia Gui had already run off and didn’t hear the stream of cursing he had left in his wake. The worst part was that he truly thought he was contributing.

Jia Gui ran between nests from the top, middle, and bottom lanes. It took him only five minutes to traverse them, thanks to the unparalleled speed of his twenty-one boots. He even stole kills from Han Wu and the Origin of Mutation twice.

Rage swelled uncontrollably within Han Wu. He was truly considering sacrificing Jia Gui to his Slaughter Knife.

Jia Gui not only hadn’t gone into enemy territory but was even stealing his allies’ kills! More importantly, there was nothing they could do! They couldn’t match his speed, nor would he listen to anything they said. He was actively disrupting their growth in a competition where they couldn’t afford any infighting!

Han Wu had to spend half a day just to calm himself. Then, after consulting with Xu Hai and the Origin of Mutation, he said, “Our only option is to steal the enemy’s resources!”

Xu Hai agreed. The Origin of Mutation nodded too, albeit somewhat hesitantly, as if it had something to say to Han Wu but didn’t know how. The three charged into the enemy’s territory together.

Naturally, Oracle was aware of this and notified Carnage to stop guarding the crystal and fight them. Carnage had just killed two more of Selene’s summoned goblin waves and had grown even stronger than before. The bloodlust around him was almost tangible.

Carnage departed to deal with the invaders once Oracle had returned to guard the crystal.

A dragon’s roar suddenly resounded. Glancing at their maps, the participants saw a patch of grass turning into a dragon nest. A dragon descended from the nest with a roar that shook the entire field.

Han Wu was familiar with the Great Dragons and knew from the roar alone that it was a World-rank Great Dragon. If he were at full strength, he could’ve easily slain it for experience, gold, and materials. Unfortunately, his strength was still only 15% unlocked.

Even if he activated his True Demon King Transformation, it would only boost his parameters by 150%, elevating him to an ordinary World life form. It was fine to deal with trash like Jia Gui, but it was suicidal to fight a Great Dragon with it.

“Should we fight the dragon?” Xu Hai asked Han Wu, the main decision maker of the match.

Han Wu hesitated. Jia Gui had informed them about a powerful expert stationed at the Divine River Civilization’s crystal.

There was always the possibility that this powerful opponent would attack them while they were busy with the Great Dragon. If he did, could Jia Gui, the fastest of them, launch a sneaky counterattack? As long as Jia Gui distracted Carnage, they could have a shot at taking the dragon down.

Han Wu decided to take the gamble. “We fight!”

Xu Hai and the Origin of Mutation agreed. They led several hundred mutated locusts toward the dragon’s nest. Carnage, Warmaster, and Torrent were also rushing over, and both sides crossed paths near the nest.

Han Wu sensed Carnage’s powerful presence and assumed that he was the one Jia Gui feared. Silently messaging the group chat, he instructed Jia Gui to seize this chance to attack the opponent’s crystal while they stalled for time. The only issue was that Han Wu wasn’t sure if Jia Gui would listen.

The three contestants from the Divine River Civilization grew serious when they saw the Origin of Mutation. As Super Genesoldiers of the first series from the Divine River Civilization, they had high enough authority to know that the Origin of Mutation was the dreaded Ultimate Horror.

The Origin of Mutation could fundamentally mutate genes and cause their collapse. This was the single largest threat for a Super Genesoldier. The higher-ups of the Divine River Civilization had commanded them to kill the Origin of Mutation at any cost.

In truth, this match was just a facade to maintain the relationship between civilizations while still allowing them to accomplish their goals. Winning or losing didn’t matter as long as they killed it.

The trio’s focus was firmly on the Origin of Mutation rather than the dragon. Noticing this, Xu Hai secretly reminded Han Wu to be careful. The three were most likely going to attack the Origin of Mutation.

Han Wu finally understood that this match was just a farce to kill the Origin of Mutation! However, the success of this mission still rested on the strength of the Divine River Civilization’s team.

The Origin of Mutation could guess Han Wu’s thoughts from his shifting expressions and shot him a resigned smile.

Han Wu chuckled bitterly. The Origin of Mutation didn’t believe in them.
