Chapter 83: The Greed of the Evil Gods

Sitting down beside them, he poured himself a cup of coffee.

Guné looked at the burly man beside him.

"This must be the Dragonslayer!"

"Dragonslayer, Sigurd." Sigurd introduced himself succinctly.

"Guné Lawrence. Of course, I'm just an ordinary blood curse mage, not as dazzling as your stellar sequence powerful professions."

"Dragonslayer, Time Hunter—these titles alone are enough to strike fear into one's heart."

Taking a gentle sip, savoring the rich flavor of the coffee, Guné said.

"You flatter me, sir. The identity of 'Super Caster' is far more awe-inspiring than us who rely on extraordinary professions."

"A sixth-order six-star meat-tank demon knight was easily killed at your hands; we could never do that."

"Alright, stop flattering each other."

George, sitting nearby, interrupted their mutual praise.

Then George looked at Guné and spoke softly.

"This time, I never expected to run into you here."

"I merely guessed that the Super Caster 'Captain Jack' might be you, so I left a few traces, and it turned out to be true."

Hearing this, Guné nodded slightly.

"If you could guess it was me, then those trying to assassinate me should also be able to guess that Captain Jack might be Guné Lawrence."

"Fortunately, I'm no longer too worried about assassination by Extraordinary Masters now."

For Guné, his increased strength meant he no longer feared Extraordinary Masters.

On the other hand, Dragon Head Harbor was extremely far from the inland continent of Oya. Even if Extraordinary Masters wanted to assassinate him, it would take them a month or two to get here.

Even if they came, they might not find him in Dragon Head Harbor.

Besides, who knew where Guné would be in a month or two?

After some casual chat, George poured Guné another cup of coffee, his expression turning serious as he said cautiously.

"The main reason I called you here is that there's a very important plan that requires your participation."

"A plan?" Guné's brow twitched.

"What plan?"

"About the Daughter of the Evil God." George lowered his voice.

"The Daughter of the Evil God?" Guné couldn't help but rub his fingers lightly, listening quietly.

"Of course, part of it is about the Daughter of the Evil God, and another part is about the place that the evil gods and those stellar sequence powerhouses from the stars have long been plotting on the ocean—the Elemental Forbidden Land."

"The Elemental Forbidden Land?"

Guné's heart stirred slightly.

"I've always sensed that those evil gods were plotting something in the ocean. So it's the Elemental Forbidden Land they're after."

"What is this Elemental Forbidden Land, and why are they after it?"

Guné looked at George and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know much about these things. Sigurd knows a great deal; let him tell you."

With that, George's gaze fell on the burly Dragonslayer Sigurd.

Guné, holding his coffee cup, also looked at Sigurd.

Before coming, Sigurd had already had an in-depth conversation with George and knew that this man named Guné Lawrence was trustworthy.

Moreover, with his strength, he was indeed a very powerful ally.

Sigurd paused for a moment, then began to speak in a deep, resonant voice.

"I was once a member of the Shepherd God Church's evil god sect, and a very important core member, the kind groomed for leadership."

Sigurd's words made Guné's brow twitch slightly. He was a little surprised but waited calmly for him to continue.

"Don't misunderstand. Due to my special identity, I can't disclose details. Just know that I deliberately became a member of the evil god sect to uncover their many secrets."

"Within the Shepherd God Church, because of my identity as Dragonslayer, my status was no less than that of the Daughter of the Evil God of the Giant God Church. Moreover, it was precisely because of the powerful stellar sequence of the Dragonslayer that I came to know a great many secrets."

"One of those secrets is a very large and important plan between the evil god sect and the Southern Church."

"If this plan succeeds, not only will the three northern empires be in danger of destruction, but the entire continent of Oya will likely fall under the dark and bloody rule of the evil gods."

"As a spellcaster, from the journals of travelers from the extraordinary worlds beyond the stars, you should know the fate of worlds ruled by evil gods, right?"

"Mm." Guné nodded.

"A world under the rule of evil gods?"

Guné narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing darker.

"That would be the beginning of death and doom for the entire world."

There are many extraordinary worlds among the stars.

In some extraordinary worlds, those with righteous hearts and a yearning for light ultimately triumph.

These powerhouses build altars of faith, eventually using the power of faith to ignite divine fire and become powerful gods of light.

In fact, that's exactly what the first batch of powerful human gods on the continent of Oya did.

It was under the protection of these gods that humanity survived the darkest ages and, in later eras, continuously expanded its territory, multiplied, and became the absolute dominant race on Oya, with a population of tens of billions.

Unfortunately, due to some special reasons, that batch of powerful gods left this extraordinary world.

And the development of those churches eventually turned into iron-fisted ruling machines using faith as an excuse.

In the regions now ruled by the churches, anyone who does not believe in the church's gods is a heretic and will be burned at the stake. This is already similar to the rule of evil gods.

Some worlds are occupied by evil powerhouses who worship darkness and love slaughter.

In such worlds, these powerhouses also build altars of dark faith, ignite divine fire, and become 'Dark Gods' of darkness, slaughter, and bloodshed.

A world that takes slaughter as its faith can easily produce powerhouses, but it will also see more deaths.

Sometimes, because the internal strife and attrition are too severe, it actually weakens the extraordinary power of that world.

In some extraordinary worlds, the powerhouses are strong but have no desires. They build altars, become gods, and take a laissez-faire attitude toward the world's development—such laid-back gods also exist.

In some worlds, after establishing a unified faith, the powerhouses are keen on war, opening the gates of extraordinary worlds and constantly conquering one world after another.

It is said that the source of power advancement in some extraordinary worlds comes from this.

But no matter how they develop,

these powerhouses always take their own world as the core and do not destroy the extraordinary world they inhabit.

But those 'evil gods' that wander through various extraordinary worlds, more terrifying than blood-sucking parasites, think nothing of the sort.

Their idea is simply to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, to drain the pond to catch all the fish.

Every time they arrive in a world,

they establish absolute rule of faith and build blood and flesh altars.

Then, like locusts, they begin a frenzied massacre of all intelligent life in the entire world.

The evil gods do not necessarily need the power of faith; what they need is the nourishment of blood, flesh, and soul power.

When they have slaughtered most of the intelligent life in the world, they build an 'Extraordinary Source Altar' to extract the source energy of the entire extraordinary world.

Extracting the source power of the entire world is the true goal of those evil gods.

An extraordinary world suppresses evil gods that come from outside.

What these arriving evil gods want to do is to kill this extraordinary world.

Over the course of hundreds of years, as the power of the extraordinary source is extracted,

the power of the evil gods grows stronger day by day.

Meanwhile, the entire extraordinary world gradually weakens.

A world that was once at the 'medium-magic' level descends to 'low-magic'.

As the extraction of the extraordinary source continues, it eventually becomes a weak 'micro-magic' world.

At that time, source power recedes, life force withers.

The number of extraordinary beings plummets, extraordinary失控 increases, evil forces breed layer upon layer, and resources become extremely scarce.

The entire world will fall into a prolonged—Dark Age.

If extraction stops, after the world sinks into a Dark Age teeming with dark creatures for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years,

it will slowly recover and usher in its own—Age of Revival.

And that is the best outcome for a world facing invasion by evil gods.

But most outcomes are—the evil gods will completely drain all the power of this world.

At that point, the framework of the extraordinary world collapses. The entire extraordinary world will turn into an 'Extraordinary Comet' with a long tail in the starry sky.

Every time an extraordinary world turns into a comet and shines with its own brilliance, it is the final silent sigh of that world.

In just a few hundred years, killing countless lives and destroying an extraordinary world!

Such is the terror of the evil gods.
