Chapter 100: Power of the Evil God

Using high-level invisibility, the interference nullification barrier given by George, Gune's own darkness-aligned concealment, and his innate ability to resist being spied upon,

Gune slipped in silently through the passage, unnoticed by anyone.

With the Eye of Fate, Gune easily located the fifth-rank peak earth elementalist, whose escape abilities were unremarkable.

Aligned with the dark essence, Gune, about a hundred meters from the elementalist, completed a series of operations including Arcane Shot and the charging of the Great Thunder Flame Curse.

Then, in an instant, the power of these spells was all poured into the elementalist's body.

The result was clear to see.

A single wave took out the unfortunate elementalist, who couldn't even react.

As the thunder exploded,

dazzling purple lightning, like a purple dragon, illuminated the entire space.

It was even more dazzling than the brightness of the energy barrier above the altar.

Having struck successfully and taken the body, Gune silently re-entered stealth and quickly disappeared.

The others, who had thought themselves well hidden, saw the terrifying spell eruption in that corner and their faces changed drastically.

If they continued hiding and were found, even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured.

The other three still in hiding reacted quickly, abandoning concealment and darting toward the altar.

As they fled,

Bang, bang, bang...

Several consecutive Arcane Shots erupted one after another.

Muffled groans and bursts of blood filled the air.

Moments later, three figures appeared within the altar's energy barrier.

Fifth-rank "Claudia" had a grim expression, one of his arms clearly broken off.

He had been targeted while fleeing.

Fortunately, the enemy had revealed their position, and he was careful to conceal his own movements.

Even so, the terrible Arcane Shot had shattered one of his arms.

He didn't even dare to retrieve his severed arm, only rushing into the energy barrier as fast as possible, or else his life would be lost.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The next three bullets struck the altar's energy barrier, which was a full two meters thick.

Such a thick barrier naturally blocked all of Gune's Arcane bullets.

"A decent turtle shell."

Having killed a Star Sequence expert, Gune nodded with satisfaction.

Claudia, his face livid, wrapped his wound with source power and downed a high-grade refined life potion.

Combined with his own vitality, it would allow him to regrow the broken half-arm within ten minutes.

Meanwhile, George and Siegfried appeared at the entrance to the altar space.

One dead, one severely wounded.

Plus the super-caster "Captain Jack," who could slay sixth-rank mid-stage experts,

The trio's side was now no weaker than the Evil God's Daughter and her group of four.

"Himmel, long time no see." Holding his Dragon-Slaying Blade, Siegfried looked at the altar with a mocking smile.

"Siegfried, you traitor, you still have the nerve to show up here." Himmel's tone was murderous.

"Traitor? I just hid my true faith and faked a false one."

"The Evil God was foolish enough to believe it."

"Heh... when I escaped, that counterattack from within killed three Transcendent Masters—truly satisfying." Siegfried laughed darkly.

"Siegfried, do you know what your stupidest mistake is?" Himmel gritted his teeth.

Before Siegfried could retort,

Himmel continued,

"Your stupidest mistake is your arrogance."

"You got lucky that time, and you think it was your own skill?"

"It was just luck."

"Do you really think the three of you can match us this time?"

"Don't forget, this is an altar, a complete, massive altar, hahaha..."

With that, Himmel burst into loud laughter.

"I planned to gather more power, but since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."

Siegfried's eyes narrowed, sensing something wrong.

"Kill them all!"

Himmel on the altar suddenly roared.

In an instant!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Four terrifying auras that shook the soul erupted from the altar.

At that moment, Himmel, Ashly, Lovis, and Claudia on the altar each exuded an extremely fearsome aura.

The aura was so vast that the entire altar space trembled violently, with dust and debris falling.

The commotion was several times greater than when the binding power appeared.

It seemed as if the whole world trembled under this power.

Seeing the unleashed power,

Siegfried's face changed drastically, and he roared with all his might,

"Damn it, run!"

"This energy shield isn't for defense—it's to cover their sacrifice."

"They've channeled the Evil God's power here. Get out!"

As he spoke, Siegfried and George retreated rapidly along the passage.

"As planned, kill them all." Wielding the Evil God's power,

the Evil God's Daughter leaped, flying directly out of the altar's barrier, chasing after Siegfried and George.

Alongside her flew Lovis, the sixth-rank mid-stage expert.

Both were now harnessing the Evil God's power, flying in pursuit.

The other two, Ashly and Claudia, also flew out from the altar and attacked Gune's hiding spot.

Empowered by the Evil God's power, their attack power and range were magnified tenfold.

From over a thousand meters away,

Ashly sent a barrage of thunderbolts.

Originally the size of a human head, the thunderbolts were now as large as half a car.

Each fireball radiated destructive terror.

They easily crossed a thousand meters and crashed down.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Each fireball flattened an area of fifty to sixty meters with a terrifying shockwave, while destructive thunder and lightning flashed.

The barrage of fireballs obliterated the entire area around Gune's position for hundreds of meters.

At that moment, Gune, standing still in his actual location, watched the large-scale devastation.

His eyes were unusually calm.

Earlier, Gune had sensed the terrifying power within the altar.

But the shield was too thick for him to break.

He thought the power was meant to protect the barrier from being breached.

He never expected it to be the Evil God's power channeled by the Evil God's Daughter.

Fortunately, Gune had kept a trick: he left a puppet decoy at his original hiding spot, while his real body had secretly moved.

Sure enough, the two empowered by the Evil God's power aimed directly at the puppet decoy's location.

"So this is the Evil God's power?"

Feeling the power from afar, Gune pondered.

"The pressure isn't as terrifying as I imagined. It's probably not pure Evil God power, just a trace of divine essence in their source power. That greatly enhances their strength without causing too much damage to them."

"Otherwise, divine power not of this world would incur the backlash of the entire world."

"Even so, this power is beyond me. It's comparable to an ordinary Transcendent Master of the seventh rank."

"I hope they don't find me. Once this power duration ends, it'll be their time to die." Gune thought to himself.

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind,

"Found him! He's here!" A roar came.

"Huh? Bluffing my position?" Just as Gune had that thought, he saw a sky full of thunderbolts hurtling toward him.

"Damn, they really found me."

Boom, boom, boom...

The overwhelming destructive attack instantly engulfed the area hundreds of meters around Gune.
