RUMBLE...

Beneath the burning black ritual flames,

the Undead Skeleton·Magic Ring Tree of another Lower Rank Evil God came crashing down with a deafening roar.

"Traitor... Traitor..."

The wails of the Undead Evil God, who had held out for so long, swept across the entire Divine Kingdom, amplified by his Divine Power.

But alas, no one paid any mind to this final, mournful dirge.

When the tides of war surge, even Divine Spirits are mercilessly crushed.

With the death of this Undead Evil God,

Zorn, who controlled the ritual flames, turned his gaze to the Middle Rank Evil God, Ferdinand, who was a full Level 25.

The divine war in the Evil Divine Kingdom had begun a year ago.

Under the combined might of Zorn, the Female Sword God Abigail, and Cosmos·Originator Sigmund,

one Divine Kingdom after another was annihilated.

During this time, Zorn had repeatedly sent the ritual flames to the Tree of the Magic Ring of the Middle Rank Evil God, Ferdinand.

This made the Middle Rank Evil God, Ferdinand, extremely wary.

He didn’t dare to leave his Divine Kingdom rashly.

Afterward, over the course of the year, Zorn systematically eliminated three Evil God Divine Kingdoms and six Evil God Worlds.

Not only did the Evil God skeletons and Trees of the Magic Ring need to be cleansed, but so did the rampant corruption, aberrant Heroic Spirits, and frenzied Believers in the Evil God Worlds. This, in fact, was what took up most of the time.

Among them, three Evil Gods from two Evil God Divine Kingdoms and one Evil God World had surrendered to the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom early on, thus avoiding annihilation.

After a full year of fighting,

with the incineration of the last Lower Rank Evil God and his Tree of the Magic Ring,

Now, in this entire cluster of Evil God Worlds,

only the final Middle Rank Evil God, Ferdinand, remained.

And Ferdinand’s situation was clearly not good.

The three Evil Gods who had surrendered were now waging a divine war, their vast armies of Heroic Spirits assaulting Ferdinand’s Divine Kingdom.

At the same time,

under the leadership of Lord Ossirion,

two Middle Rank Gods,

and over thirty Lower Rank Gods were also launching an all-out assault on Middle Rank Evil God Ferdinand’s Divine Kingdom.

Furthermore, after repeated deliveries of the ritual flames, Ferdinand’s Tree of the Magic Ring was also scorched in multiple places.

Under normal circumstances, he could have recovered from the injuries, but he was currently in the midst of a war.

Even though this Middle Rank Evil God, Ferdinand, was quite powerful, it was difficult for him to recover under such a concentrated barrage of attacks.

At this moment, Zorn was also trying to find a way to deliver the ritual flames to the Middle Rank Evil God’s Tree of the Magic Ring.

However, that Middle Rank Evil God was exceptionally cunning. A deeper layer of the Magic Ring’s Crystal Wall added another layer of security to his Tree of the Magic Ring.

Even if Zorn could send the ritual flames inside, they would be incinerated in an instant.

As he pondered, Zorn watched the joint siege of the thirty-plus Divine Spirits.

Zorn shook his head slightly.

’No matter how this guy struggles, he’s doomed to die.’

’Not to mention, my Evil God Calamity is still eroding his Evil God World right now.’

Just as Zorn was steadily advancing his Evil God Calamity,

RUMBLE...

the Middle Rank Evil God’s Divine Kingdom suddenly began to shake violently.

Zorn immediately used the Cosmic Magic Net for a detailed Insight.

’This is... splitting?’

After a moment of careful Perception, Zorn was secretly amazed.

’I sensed this Middle Rank Evil God had this characteristic before.’

’It’s just that his power will weaken drastically after splitting. I didn’t think he’d actually dare to do it.’

’However...’

Zorn paused.

’If he doesn’t split and flee, the only outcome is Death anyway.’

Realizing this, Zorn immediately contacted Lord Ossirion.

"Lord Ossirion, that Middle Rank Evil God, Ferdinand, is attached to his Tree of the Magic Ring and is in the process of splitting himself."

"Although this will severely weaken him, he can escape in multiple directions, taking the split fragments of his Tree of the Magic Ring with him."

"Splitting to escape?"

Hearing this, Ossirion raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

"I thought he was going to fight to the bitter end. I didn’t expect him to have an escape plan prepared."

"But this is good too. It saves us a lot of time."

"Also, can you pinpoint the location of the piece carrying his Divine Artifact?"

Zorn observed carefully for a moment and had already locked onto the location of the Divine Artifact’s fluctuations.

"I can!"

"Good. When he splits and flees, lock down the position of the fragment carrying the Divine Artifact,"

Ossirion said in a low voice.

"Yes, Lord Ossirion."

As an expert at the Legendary Realm, the ancient Middle Rank Evil God’s Middle Rank Divine Artifact would be of immense help to Ossirion.

This strenuous siege on the Middle Rank Evil God Ferdinand was, on one hand, to completely eliminate the Evil Gods here so they could take control of this cluster of Worlds.

On the other hand, it was for the Middle Rank Evil God Ferdinand’s Middle Rank Divine Artifact.

That Middle Rank Divine Artifact was already at the Middle Rank Peak.

After Ossirion ascends to the Upper Rank Level, he could nurture and reforge it slightly, and it would become an Upper Rank Level Divine Artifact.

That would be far better than slowly forging one himself.

RUMBLE...

Before long, large cracks abruptly spiderwebbed across the Crystal Wall of the Middle Rank Evil God’s Divine Kingdom.

The many attacking Divine Spirits were overjoyed.

Just as they were about to charge in,

the auras of more than a dozen Middle Rank Evil Gods suddenly surged out from the cracked Crystal Wall.

Each one moved with astonishing speed.
