Chapter 311: Unexpected Reinforcements, Destroying the Altar
It's over...
Grimnir's face turned pale, and despair filled his heart. Without the Split Void ability, he had no way to break the spatial lock.
If it were just Ice Talker alone, he wouldn't be afraid in the slightest.
But there was also Terran and John.
He had virtually no way to fight back and was being relentlessly pummeled by the combined efforts of the three.
John seized the opportunity and landed a fatal blow, triggering his Plunder talent and gaining 1% more of the Shadow Power of Laws.
"Godslayer, it's just the Hunters army left. We should be able to hold them off!" Ice Talker saw a glimmer of hope. She quickly made her way to the city wall, blocking the gap and putting everything into stopping the incoming Hunters.
John joined the battle, and with a thought, he summoned the Elves, Beast Clan, Blues Family members, and the Skyline Continent humans to help halt the Hunters' advance.
With their combined efforts, they gradually regained control of the city wall and sealed the gap where the Hunters had breached.
Seeing this, Ice Talker felt a rush of joy. Perhaps she really could build the first city on Shadow Star, making her future plans much easier to carry out.
What shocked her most, however, was John's strength. He had actually killed Kangus and defeated the peak-tier Shadow Clan upper-tier gods—a force of over a hundred thousand.
The only regret was that The Absolute and Wrath of the Heavens had managed to escape.
She sighed inwardly but didn't dwell on it. She turned her full attention back to fighting the Hunters.
Meanwhile, John wasn't hurrying to join the fray. Instead, he made his way toward Tracy.
It was thanks to her that they had been able to destroy the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star, allowing them to escape the danger.
Now, Tracy was pale and weak, slumped against the city wall, clearly exhausted.
That last strike had drained too much of her energy.
"Tracy, are you alright?" John asked, concern evident in his voice.
"It's alright, let the others handle the rest. You go rest in World-in-Hand," John said, gently channeling pure life energy into her to replenish her mental strength.
The little girl weakly shook her head and, with a soft sigh, opened her arms to him. She leaned into his embrace, speaking in a faint voice, "Old man, I'm a bit drained."
"It's alright, let the others handle the rest. You go rest in World-in-Hand," John said, gently channeling pure life energy into her to replenish her mental strength.
"Okay," Tracy nodded obediently. She couldn't be of any help at the moment. Moreover, she had gained new insight into the power of Star Dust and wanted to return to World-in-Hand to continue understanding the Immortal inheritance.
John then pulled Tracy into World-in-Hand, before turning to Jean. "Jean, you can't help here either. Go back to World-in-Hand and look after Tracy."
"Alright," she answered without hesitation.
Among the women, apart from Sini, Jean was the one closest to Tracy, and the two of them got along extremely well.
Now, John joined the battle. The vast Power of Laws surged from him as he put everything into holding off the Hunters.
With his Wrath of the Gods talent, his skill cooldowns and energy consumption were nearly negligible. His power alone was enough to block an entire wall of Hunters.
However, he didn't reveal too much of his strength. Instead, he slowed the pace of his attacks slightly and worked with the Blues Family members to hold the line at one section of the wall.
The one most pleased with this was Sini. Although the battles of the day had left her somewhat mentally fatigued, it didn't affect her speed in slaughtering Hunters in the slightest.
John confirmed that Tracy was in no danger, and with the protection of powerful Beast Clan warriors like Cand-Dragon, he allowed her to fight freely.
"Ice Talker, we're here to help!" A clear voice rang out, and four figures rapidly approached from the horizon.
The Overseers!
...
Three system announcements rang out, and only then did Ice Talker let out a sigh of relief, her face lighting up with joy.
"We did it!"
"Shadow Clan is nothing to worry about after all."
"Nonsense. How could those despicable bastards compare to us, the Nature Clan?"
Cheers resounded on the walls as well.
However, John's brow furrowed. He kept his eyes fixed on the four figures—Centeror and the others.
At that moment, the four seemed to make a move, and Thunderover quietly began flying toward the city.
His target was the city's altar stone!
If the altar of the city was destroyed, the entire city-building effort would fail.
John quickly reacted and warned, "Ice Talker, be careful! That guy is trying to destroy the altar."
"You dare!" Ice Talker also noticed Thunderover's movement and shouted angrily, preparing to take action to stop him.
But Centeror charged forward, blocking her path.
Ice Talker was furious. "Centeror, do you want to make an enemy of the Nature Clan?"
"Don't misunderstand," Centeror explained with a smile. "I only promised the Shadow Clan that I wouldn't let you establish a city. I don't wish to become an enemy of the Nature Clan."
"Very well. It seems you and the Shadow Clan are cut from the same cloth!" Ice Talker retorted angrily, no longer willing to waste words. She waved her hand, and several vines flew toward Centeror, aiming to strike him.
"Attack!" Centeror said, seeing that their plan had already been exposed. He no longer bothered with Disguise.
Beside him, Saukers moved to engage the Terran, while Swordman from the Sea Clan immediately turned his attention toward John.
"Human, today I will avenge Lord Sea King!" Swordman shouted coldly. With a wave of his hand, Spatial power surged, and he instantly pulled both John and Sini into his World-in-Hand.
Clearly, his goal was to kill the two of them and claim the Shadow God reward.
John found himself in an unfamiliar world, where towering mountains loomed and the air was thick with a powerful, cutting aura.
This was obviously Swordman's World-in-Hand.
In the moment he had left the city, he noticed that Thunderover had already destroyed the city's altar. It seemed that Ice Talker's effort to establish the city had failed.
"Sini, enter my World-in-Hand first," John said, worried for her safety.
She glanced around, sighed helplessly, and nodded in agreement.
She mastered the Power of the Nine Nether, which could counteract the World-in-Hand, but her strength was still too weak to destroy Swordman's World-in-Hand. She realized that she would be of no help here and could only be a burden.
Buzz!
Sini's form disappeared as she entered John's World-in-Hand. Swordman appeared in front of him, floating in the air, his long blade held in an embrace, his gaze disdainful. "Human, I highly doubt you can kill Sea King." He said coldly.
John smiled faintly, looking around at Swordman's World-in-Hand. "You'll find out soon enough," John said calmly.
"Heaven and Earth Transformation!" He shouted, and the winds began to howl. A terrifying aura spread, and his body rapidly enlarged, transforming into a towering giant, over ten thousand feet tall.
Swordman was momentarily surprised by the sight, but he wasn't intimidated. He sneered. "Human, it's useless. In my World-in-Hand, I am invincible. Just die already."
With that, he drew his long blade, and the Sword Intent surged. The entire space seemed to bend and obey his command as countless blades of light gathered, roaring toward John, ready to strike.
Boom boom...
The explosions were deafening, and John was instantly obliterated, his form crushed under the sheer force of the assault.
