Chapter 147: The Siege of the Intercession Society

No sooner had the message been sent than, within a minute,

the communicator in Balotan's hand began to buzz.

Balotan tapped it lightly.

"Buzz!"

On the communicator, the avatar of a foreign god with demon horns appeared.

This "Nightmare God," who possessed the bloodline power of Cthulhu creatures, was one of the five rulers of the "Intercession Society."

He was a formidable expert at the fifth level of godhood.

The Nightmare God spoke in a deep voice.

"Balotan, is the information you just sent reliable?"

"Lord Nightmare, the information is one hundred percent reliable. That demigod has now ascended to godhood, but only at the early first level."

"He is heading toward the 'Ermos Region,' where the Intercession Society is mainly stationed. Based on his flight path, he will likely enter through the 'Gate of Extinguished Fire.'"

Balotan replied truthfully.

"The Gate of Extinguished Fire."

After a moment of thought, the demon-horned Nightmare God nodded slightly.

"Your information has rendered great service this time. If we capture this fellow, you will naturally be rewarded."

Hearing this, Balotan's face lit up with a smile.

"Lord Nightmare, I will quietly follow him and send you his location in real time."

"If the kid changes course midway, I will inform you promptly."

Balotan said.

"Alright, but to be safe, turn on the location sync first. If he comes to the Gate of Extinguished Fire as expected, we'll wait here—after all, we have considerable forces near the gate."

"We are now gathering our strength. When that kid arrives, he'll fall right into the trap."

"If he changes course, we can pursue him immediately."

"Yes, Lord Nightmare, no problem. I'll turn on the location sync now."

...

During flight,

Gunie glanced at the adventure system page to see if there was any content.

On the other hand, he was naturally trying to apply his cosmic momentum.

Various profound principles, when infused into powerful Cthulhu scriptures, could greatly enhance the power of those scriptures and energies.

The infusion of cosmic momentum further elevated the scripture's power across dimensional thresholds.

However, Gunie had always cultivated in secret and had never specifically applied or used cosmic momentum.

Now, heading to the Ermos region, battles were inevitable.

After all, that place was generally only traversable by gods at the third or fourth level.

Second-level gods were rare.

And as a first-level god, he looked like easy prey.

Easy to crush.

By now, he was becoming proficient in applying cosmic momentum.

So when battle came, he wouldn't be rusty.

During the flight, Gunie occasionally glanced behind him.

"Just now, I sensed a battle between a third-level god and a first-level god."

"Then the first-level god's aura vanished, clearly killed by the third-level god."

"Then that third-level god quickly concealed his aura."

"Though the distance is too great for me to detect his aura, I have a faint feeling of being watched."

"Could that third-level god have set his sights on me?"

After a moment's thought, Gunie smiled lightly.

"Now, crushing a third-level god is as easy for me as crushing a first-level god when I was a demigod."

"I won't bother too much with him."

"First, I'll enter the Ermos region."

"The Ermos region is fraught with danger; once inside, no one can easily track me."

"If I can find a good cultivation spot there, I can train in seclusion."

"This time, I need to pass through the Gate of Extinguished Fire. I've heard it's very chaotic, with many strong individuals."

"Getting out won't be easy, but getting in is quite simple."

With this thought, Gunie's Wind Spirit Wings flared slightly, and his speed increased further.

Flying at lightning speed, after seven or eight hours, Gunie was already close to the Gate of Extinguished Fire, the entrance to the Ermos region.

At this point, Gunie slowed down.

He became cautious.

The area near the Gate of Extinguished Fire was very quiet, seemingly without any danger.

But in reality, Gunie knew well:

The quieter it was, the more dangerous.

No one knew how many god-level experts were hidden in the shadows.

It looked empty, but in the next second, twenty or thirty gods might jump out and attack together.

The higher one went on the Ermok Ancient Divine Mountain, the more gods there were.

And the more intense the slaughter.

Just as he was flying,

Gunie suddenly sensed something.

The next moment,

"Swish!"

An indescribable sharpness pierced through, aimed directly at Gunie's head.

It was the sneak attack of a fourth-level god.

This fourth-level god, who had been gathering power in the shadows, was a master of the Wind Principle.

His speed was unimaginable.

The moment Gunie sensed him,

he was already right behind Gunie.

"Hum!"

This spear perfectly embodied the Wind Principle, with endless sharp wind converging, causing even space to ripple under its force.

The spear thrust directly at Gunie's head.

"What a powerful strike."

Gunie thought to himself.

"This guy is among the strong even among fourth-level gods."

If this strike hit a fourth-level god, even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured.

"Boom!"

The spear, gathering immense power, struck Gunie's head.

Within a radius of ten thousand meters, a hurricane-like wave raged wildly.

At the point of the spear's impact,

a layer of golden glass slowly flowed at the center of Gunie's brow, completely blocking the fourth-level god's strike.

"This..."

Seeing this, the fourth-level spear-wielding god was stunned.

He had been informed earlier that this first-level god had astonishing defensive abilities.

But he never expected the defense to be so powerful, far beyond his imagination.

He practiced the way of the spear and comprehended the Wind Principle.

His divine ability concentrated infinite power into a single point.

With a sneak attack after gathering power, this spear could definitely pierce the head of a fifth-level defensive god, causing severe injury.

He had thought that even if this sneak attack didn't kill, it would at least cause some damage.

But he never expected that even his strongest strike

seemed unable to even scratch Gunie's skin.

Staring at this fourth-level spear-wielding god, Gunie had already sensed something.

"I must say, your strike didn't even hurt." Gunie said coldly.

The next moment,

with a "whoosh,"

Balot flames, infused with a certain cosmic momentum, blazed fiercely on the fourth-level spear-wielding god.
