"Humans!"

The Ghoul God Dorison let out an angry roar.

In an instant, the stench of decay spread out.

Before He could rise from the White Bone Throne, several legendary warriors, approaching demigod power, quickly dealt with the Ghoul Guards.

Their actions were uniform and coordinated.

Almost immediately after mildly beheading the ghouls, multiple Level 9 martial techniques were unleashed right in front of Dorison.

The terrifying impact did not inflict much damage on the Ghoul God.

"Do you think... you can kill me?"

Dorison let out an angry roar.

He cast a spell.

[Time Stop]!

In an instant, the world fell silent.

The sound of the wind, the rain, and the breaking ceased in that moment.

However, a green light instantly threw the silent domain into chaos.

Chloe used a bit of the Vibrant Fragment, and the soaring power tore through the Time Stop field.

The moment they broke free from the confines, four legendary warriors fearlessly activated the [Glory of the King of Pride].

A terrifying aura steamed from their bodies.

Two warriors and a Red Jade Guard immediately charged forward.

The cold glow of swords and knives intertwined.

Dorison's resilient and hard-to-break shroud vaguely showed signs of breaking.

He launched a furious counterattack.

Yet the sole mage among the four legendary figures activated a variety of spells around him without hesitation.

Force Field Deflection Shield.

Group Protection Barrier.

Shield of Divinity.

Invincibility Technique.

...

Even Dorison couldn't immediately break through the mage's constructed defenses this time.

"Ah!"

The Ghoul God let out an unwilling roar, an unprecedentedly terrifying power erupted, instantly shredding the three legendary figures restraining him.

The lingering death storm was firmly held at bay by the mage kneeling and casting within the barrier.

Yet in this mere half a minute, the mage seemed to age over long years, white frost appearing at his temples.

The power of death swept across his head.

Deprived of life, the mage fell to the ground, lifeless.

But...

"You've exposed a flaw."

Dorison's expression twisted with anger.

On his body, at an unknown time, a large hole had appeared.

The edges of the hole were so smooth, showing a clearly visible fist imprint.

Chloe calmly withdrew his fist, taking several steps back to dodge Dorison's counterattack.

Countless foul-smelling bone spikes pierced through the ground, instantly transforming the land into a white bone forest.

Chloe winced in pain.

A decayed bone penetrated his left shoulder, though he promptly broke it to avoid the further encroachment of the bone forest, the decayed power still clinging to him.

Without hesitation, he tore off a piece of flesh to prevent the spread of decay.

In the next second, his blood scattered with the wind.

In the blink of an eye, he charged back to Dorison's front.

"You're too close."

The power of the Holy Bone wrapped around him, the roaring golden light condensing into Holy Qi, shredding the Ghoul God's body into fragments.

Chloe exhaled a long breath.

"Get too close, and you'll die."

With Dorison no longer restraining him, the decayed power entwining Chloe quickly dissipated.

As his flesh recovered, Chloe began to launch a devastating attack on the Ghoul Legion.

The momentum of the Martial Monk shredded every ghoul he could see like a knife through butter.

Without the restraint of top-level figures, the ghouls, with an average level of less than LV5, were nothing but lambs to the slaughter for him.

Soon, the battlefield fell silent.

He arrived beside the four legendary figures.

At that moment, the mage had already perished, his head crushed.

The two warriors, having borne the brunt of Dorison's attack, also died on the spot.

Only the Red Jade Guard remained, barely clinging to life.

When Chloe walked over, he saw the Red Jade Guard smiling.

"Your Highness, truly strong."

"Mm, but you're going to die."

"I know." The Red Jade Guard's voice was like a candle in the wind, but he smiled contentedly, "Trading legends for deities, there's nothing more worthwhile than this..."

His voice grew weaker and eventually fell silent.

Chloe gently closed his eyes and softly said:

"You all are brave warriors."

Recovery can mend the body's injuries, but it can't restore the burned vitality.

He rose, carefully collected the bodies of the four legendary figures, and took them away.

Left in the Shadow Plane, under the pollution of negative energy, especially that of an Evil God's battlefield, their bodies would swiftly mutate into vile creatures.

After tending to his own, Chloe finally went to claim the head of the Ghoul God Dorison and stripped him of his Divine Format.

Returning to Ensar's base camp in the Shadow Plane, Chloe finally saw the King of Crows, Lantel Luray, again.

"Your Highness, why were you so reckless, attacking with just a few legends?!"

The King of Crows, Lantel Luray, jumped almost as if stepping on lava, right in front of Chloe.

He glanced around, not seeing the four legendary figures who had followed Chloe.

Cautiously, he asked:

"Your Highness, where are our Royal Guards?"

"Dead, killed by the Ghoul God."

"..."

"It's okay, it's good that you made it back alive."

Chloe glanced at Lantel Luray.

His expression was obviously pained to the point of bleeding, yet he still comforted Chloe.

"They are all brave warriors, providing the necessary assistance for me to take Dorison's head."

He was too lazy to explain further, throwing a twisted, hideous head in front of Lantel Luray.

Chloe looked at this King of Crows and said:

"Lantel Luray, I will take the Ghoul God's divine format and divine remains first. Give me some time, and when I return, it will be time for the counterattack."

Lantel Luray stared blankly at the twisted, hideous head.

The White Crow Legion also fought against the Ghoul God's legion.

They had even caught a distant glimpse of the legendary Ghoul God.

But now that cold and powerful Ghoul God was reduced to just a head, discarded in his hands like trash.

That feeling...

Lantel Luray found it hard to describe.

Yet...

What a splendid sight.

Could it be that they really had a chance to retaliate, to pay back blood for blood?

...

Chloe did not stay long in the Shadow Plane.

He soon returned to the Stars Continent.

As soon as he reached the palace, Stuart's figure instantly appeared before him.

"Are you hurt?"

Chloe nodded and said:

"The Ghoul God does have some tricks up his sleeve, but it's not a serious problem."

He placed the extracted Extraordinary Origin and Extraordinary Traits from the Ghoul God's body in front of Stuart and said:

"The plan went quite smoothly. Taking advantage of the Abyss being oblivious to our existence, we quickly completed the first harvest. These Extraordinary Origins are enough for you and me to advance to demigods."

Stuart nodded, but his hand tenderly touched the wound on Chloe's left shoulder and said:

"It appears to be healed on the surface, but… it must still hurt a lot."

Chloe then frowned and said:

"I couldn't hide it from you… But it was all within expectations; to kill a legendary deity, how could there be no price to pay?

From my perspective, the price we've paid is almost negligible."

But Stuart would not listen.

She pulled Chloe to lie down on the bed and said:

"You rest for a while, I'll go find a magic potion."

"Okay."

Stuart left quickly and returned with a bottle of azure blue magic potion.

"Extraordinary Healing Potion? Haven't seen one of these in a long time."

"Alright, injured people shouldn't talk so much, just drink it obediently."

"But it's so bitter."

"Will you drink it?" Stuart threatened, "If you don't, I'll take action."

"What kind of action?"

Stuart drank down the bottle in one gulp and then pressed her lips against Chloe's.

Chloe's throat bobbed slightly, unconsciously swallowing the magic potion.

After releasing, Stuart's eyes were already slightly misty.

"You must take good care of yourself, don't forget we have a child."

Stuart's voice was very soft.

Chloe hesitated but finally nodded:

"I will try."

Some things, risks are unavoidable.

Currently, the situation in the Shadow Plane is indeed not good.

It used to be deadlocked, but now, under the pincer attack of the two World Groups, it's struggling even to defend and counterattack.

"I took a look; with some processing, the Extraordinary Origin of the Ghoul God is enough to gather the resources for both of us to break through to demigod."

"Hmm? His divine power level is quite weak."

Chloe hadn't expected this guy to be so valuable.

Stuart gave him an exasperated look and said:

"We are not demigods either. If an origin remnant provided by a divine-level entity cannot help a legend advance, the attrition rate would be too high."

"I guess you're right." Hearing this good news, he said with a wide smile, "What should we do with the Ghoul God's divine format? We can't just return it to the Abyss after going through all the trouble to obtain it."

There's no way the Abyssal Gods could gather in one place.

They each have their own interests.

So there will always be gods who are isolated.

Those unlucky isolated ones are the enemies Chloe and the others need to eliminate as soon as possible.

When entering the Shadow Plane, he sensed something unusual beneath his feet.

An invisible force is continuously siphoning Earth Power, channeling it to a certain battlefield.

That invisible force felt familiar, clearly the power of the Titan Race.

However...

He could feel that the power draw was somewhat weak.

At least not at the full strength of Jian's prime.

"Rephya seems to be in a bit of danger, we need to speed things up."

Chloe's voice was very soft.

"Yes, once we advance to demigods, we'll go down and take a look together."

"No way!"

Chloe instinctively said.

"Why not?" Stuart was taken aback for a moment, then her face broke into a happy smile, "Chloe, I am not the kind of woman who stands behind a man, watching you fight on the front lines bathed in blood."

Chloe's mouth went dry.

In the past, he never thought this way.

After all, back then, the Seven Heroes fought in blood together.

But now, things were a bit different.

He was quite worried about Stuart being injured.

"I know you worry about me, but that's no reason for me to avoid the battle."

Stuart gently embraced him and said:

"On the contrary, it's because of you that I should fight even more."
