Chapter 149: Killing a Fourth-Rank God

Amidst the battlefield slaughter.

The members of the Intercession Society were gritting their teeth and persevering at this moment.

If not for the "Nightmare God" presiding over this battle, they would have long since scattered and fled.

By joining the Intercession Society, they enjoyed its powerful advantages, but they also had to obey the absolute commands of its high-ranking strongmen.

The Nightmare God, as a powerful fifth-rank god, his commands were something these fourth-rank gods had to obey.

If they fled before the battle, their fate would be to face pursuit and killing by the Intercession Society.

The Intercession Society had some control over their divine crowns.

And this Nightmare God was an extremely bloodthirsty being.

Once they fled, after this Nightmare God returned to the main hall of the Intercession Society, he would surely hunt them down one by one.

Thus, at this moment, each person was desperately enduring the black flames, evading the black scouring light, and unleashing various types of attacks on Gune.

They had never imagined that a first-rank god could possess such terrifying strength.

Whether it was the dreadful black flames or the destructive rays of light.

Every second of burning, every wave of scouring, inflicted deadly, devastating blows upon them.

Fortunately, this god was only first-rank.

Whether in speed, reaction ability, or the power to deliver a decisive killing blow, he was far inferior to a true fourth-rank god.

Coupled with their numerical advantage, they were able to hold out against him for so long.

Otherwise, the six of them would have long been slaughtered by this single first-rank god.

Even so,

after several minutes of continuous combat,

their bodies and souls had long been riddled with holes.

Even their divine crowns were quite damaged.

In contrast, that first-rank god,

from the start of the battle until now,

compared to his formidable Cthulhu attack methods,

it was his terrifying defense that truly drove them to despair.

Their attempts to annihilate his soul or strike at his divine crown could hardly inflict effective damage.

Amidst the slaughter, Gune remained calm and composed.

The Balor flames continuously scorched these six individuals, and the divine annihilation light ceaselessly rained down.

At the same time, Gune did his best to evade the attacks of the six gods.

The powerful defense of his physical body was Gune's greatest advantage.

But this did not mean Gune was invincible.

After several minutes of continuous combat,

Gune's star soul had shattered no fewer than twenty times.

The attack methods of these fourth-rank and even fifth-rank gods were indeed quite formidable.

Even Gune's soul found it hard to withstand them.

The shattering of the star soul was not a major issue.

After all, Gune's blood sea already contained over three thousand star souls.

At the same time, the blood sea's continuous transformation allowed Gune's star souls to keep regenerating.

The only slightly weaker point was Gune's divine crown.

Fortunately, Gune's divine crown was fully integrated within his body, with the all-around support of the Immortal Holy Armor.

These six had launched various attacks on Gune's divine crown many times.

But Gune withstood them all.

However, these individuals were after all top-tier fourth-rank gods, and there was also a fifth-rank god who posed a threat to Gune.

Gune's divine crown had sustained some minor damage.

But compared to his own injuries, it was clear that the six opponents were far more severely wounded.

Gune could still hold out for a long time.

But these six gods—Gune could sense—could not hold out much longer.

Even that fourth-rank god, the gunslinger, was on the verge of death.

Two eerie halos with soul-destroying properties once again enveloped Gune.

Gune narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had already endured these eerie halos several times before.

Dodging was utterly useless; he could only endure them head-on.

Hum! Hum!

Sizzle—

Gune's soul was annihilated once more.

Then a star soul regenerated within Gune's divine crown.

At the same time,

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three thick beams of divine annihilation light tore through space, descending from three directions and engulfing the fourth-rank god, the gunslinger.

Go!

Sensing the danger, the gunslinger god desperately fled to one side.

But this time, Gune had no intention of letting him escape again.

Hum!

The surging blood sea burst forth mightily at this moment, while the pressure of the Cthulhu creature and the cosmic force all poured into the blood sea.

When fighting these high-ranking gods,

their speed and evasive abilities were extremely formidable.

Gune could not easily kill them with the divine annihilation light alone.

He could only use the Balor flames to continuously scorch them, steadily weakening their strength.

And now, that most severely wounded gunslinger god had been weakened enough.

With the eruption of the blood sea, Gune could directly slay him.

Rumble...

The blood sea erupted violently, and for a moment, within a radius of over ten kilometers, waves of blood surged sky-high.

At the same time, an indescribable Cthulhu aura spread through the area.

Whether it was the observing gods

or the Intercession Society members fighting Gune,

when they sensed this terrifying Cthulhu creature aura,

their expressions changed drastically.

Cthulhu aura!

It's actually a Cthulhu aura.

Haha... this kid is so powerful.

A future god controller—no wonder this first-rank god is so formidable; it's because of this.

Many observing gods in the distance saw this and immediately began discussing among themselves.

These powerful third-rank and fourth-rank gods naturally knew how to become a god controller.

A god controller is essentially a fifth-rank god.

The only difference between them and other gods is that they have absorbed the power of Cthulhu creature remains.

This grants them the characteristics of a Cthulhu creature.

Only then, after reaching the peak of the fifth rank, can they undergo a transformative leap and become so-called god controllers.

Generally, it is only at the perfect peak of the fifth rank that one has the opportunity to master Cthulhu characteristics.

After all, at that level, a god is nearly perfect in every aspect.

But these many gods never expected

that this mere first-rank god already possessed Cthulhu creature characteristics.

And this meant that once this first-rank god reached the perfect peak of the fifth rank in the future,

he would directly become a so-called god controller.

In other words, this first-rank god could be regarded as a "quasi-god controller."

When Gune erupted with the Cthulhu creature aura,

the six members of the Intercession Society all changed expression drastically.

Their hearts churned with turmoil.

They too had not expected this insignificant first-rank god to be a "quasi-god controller."

While they were stunned, Gune did not hesitate at all.

Under the suppression of the blood sea and the Cthulhu creature, the already severely wounded fourth-rank gunslinger god could no longer flee.

Die!

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Three beams of divine annihilation light converged into a pillar about three meters wide, its power surging sharply.

Under the successive onslaught of these various means,

the fourth-rank gunslinger god could no longer hold on.

Save me!" Under desperate circumstances, the fourth-rank gunslinger god roared with all his might.

Boom!

His divine crown shook violently, his soul extinguished, and his entire presence dissipated.

The fourth-rank gunslinger god had fallen.
