Richard held the ancient god statue and quickly approached the rotten tree that had yet fully recovered.
Although the rotten tree already waved its branches, it only subconsciously defended itself and had not regained consciousness if one had to judge from its stiff posture.
The ruler of the abyss did not control the rotten tree either.
The dim light of the ancient god statue resisted the corrosion of the decaying authority.
Not only did the power not dissipate, but it became even hotter.
Desire…The ancient god statue was like a hungry shark that smelled blood.
It was restless.
Richard flew over slowly. The sand around him would quickly decay and crumble once it left the range of the light.
It was as if nothing could last long in the decaying authority.
That was the power of laws that robbed time.
The closer he got to the rotten tree, the more he could sense how terrifying the pressure was.
The twisted branches waved slightly, and extreme evil darkness shrouded the tree trunk with countless human heads.
Ordinary people that stood under the tree trunk were as small as ants before an elephant.
Richard approached Renee. She tried her best to control the rotten tree with her divine power.
This divine soul’s body had already become transparent, and the aura that her body emitted was supremely frail.
The rotten authority could devour it at any time.
Richard placed a hand on Renee’s shoulder, and in the next moment, the dim light of the ancient god statue spread out and protected Renee.
Instantly, the feeling of being on the verge of collapse disappeared, and she slowly returned to normal.
“Lord, the power contained in the rotten tree is too overwhelming. I can’t control it with my divine power.”
Guilt engulfed Renee’s gaze.
She didn’t expect that even though the rotten tree partially regained consciousness, the subconscious release of the ancient god statue’s power to protect her made her feel helpless.
Moreover, a majestic power hid in the other party’s body. It was like an abyss sea. It was endless.
Her strength was like a child’s compared to a dragon’s.
Richard nodded slightly.
“Let me do it.”
The rotten tree was complicated. The source of its power was the ruler who controlled the entire plane of the abyss.
Even though it was still far from recovery, it was still not something ordinary people could imagine.
“If you are outside, other demons will approach.”
Renee held her chest.
“I will obey your orders.”
As soon as she finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared and appeared outside.
Several demons guarded the rotten tree. The ruler must have planned something new with the cunning of these evil creatures.
Richard looked at the rotten tree before him. It seemed to suppress the lava about to erupt.
The surging energy and pressure made his skin hurt.
No one could imagine how exaggerated the scene would be if this giant tree were to revive.
Although the enemy was powerful and fierce, his gaze was burning with passion.
“The rotten authority… The power of laws.”
“This is the closest I’ve ever gotten to the ultimate power of this world.”
“If I can obtain the power of laws that only gods can control now, then in the future, whether it’s becoming a transcendent, a glorious, or even planning to become a god, there will be great benefits.”
His gaze became increasingly wanton. He gripped the statue in his hand tightly and pressed it against the tree trunk.
‘Peng!’
A dull sound rang out.
In an instant.
The ancient god statue shone brightly like a candle splashed with gasoline.
It burst into flames.
The dim light quickly spread along the trunk of the rotten tree. In a few breaths, it enveloped most of it.
‘Gu gu gu!’
The dark light was like a dried sponge thrown into the river. And it began to devour the power of the rotten tree.
The mist-like rotten power in the surroundings gradually thinned.
It shook the foundation of the rotten authority.
The rotten tree’s twisted trunk increasingly swung as if it sensed an incoming danger.
Some of the tree trunks began to smash toward Richard.
One could compare it to a battering ram three times thicker than a millstone.
Richard did not back down. He pressed down on the ancient god statue and waved his hand. He turned his flesh and bones into the sand.
‘Bang!’
The tree trunk smashed down.
The sand exploded, and a portion of it flew out of the area covered by the dim light and directly rotted and collapsed.
After the remaining sand had formed, Richard frowned. His body was now half broken.
It looked miserable.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground into an exaggerated hole. The yellow sand on his body surged.
In the next second, the sand outside the rotten authority surged out.
The vast amount of yellow sand enormously delayed the time of decay and collapse.
A large amount of sand rushed over. It repaired the damaged body.
Richard made up his mind.
The rotten authority was the power of rules. But there was only a wisp of it, and no one initiated to control it.
Therefore, there was an obvious flaw–the energy of rotten items had an upper limit.
He continued to control the sand on the ground to rise with a wave of his hand.
Around him formed a thick yellow sand shield several meters.
It forcefully blocked the smashing of the withered and twisted giant tree trunk.
Sand and gravel flew in the sky.
At this moment, the ancient god statue emitted an aura and became increasingly turbulent.
The rotten authority covered an area and gradually shrank.
Richard could sense that something gradually added power to the statue.
It carried an ancient, lonely, dark, and decaying aura that time had washed away.
It made one’s heart palpitate inexplicably.
The ancient god statue devoured the rotten authority!
At this moment, a series of shrill roars came from afar.
Richard’s heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and saw a demon that blotted out the sky in the center of the collapsed ruins.
The flying troops of the abyss had arrived.
These demons had sharp bone spikes that were half a meter long. It made them appear like hedgehogs.
It raised the long trident in its hand.
It flapped its wings and quickly flew toward the rotten tree.
[Spiked Demon]
[Level: 12]
[Glorious 3-stars].
Their numbers probably exceeded a large group.
“Skeleton blood dragon, stone statue of the dead, protect the lord!”
A cold and clear sound rang out as Renee brandished her sword and charged forward without hesitation.
The Twilight City troop chased away the demons on the ground and quickly changed direction.
They flapped their wings and charged at the spiked demons.
In a battle between flying troops, the speed of the encounter was often supremely swift.
They collided in the blink of an eye.
‘Whoosh!’
The first to attack was still the stone statues of the dead.
They had enough range advantage with an attack range of 80 meters as long as the opponent was not a long-range archer.
The battle tomahawks whistled out.
The spiked demons’ wings flapped as they nimbly dodged the incoming tomahawks.
A round of attacks failed to hit.
But before the demons could get excited, the tomahawks that missed them shattered like glass.
A terrifying metal storm erupted in midair.
Moreover, it was different from the ground. The ground quickly offset the damage from the broken battle tomahawks.
Tomahawk Slaughter in the air would deal severe damage.
The 600 stone statues of the dead only attacked the front half of the attack. The first round of Tomahawk Slaughter caused the metal storm to engulf the area before them.
The Slaughter Tomahawk was more ferocious and had a 30% Instant Death characteristic and the fire-killing effect granted by the initial fire. The spiked demons exploded, and balls of flames rose in the air.
The stone statue of the dead, which was immune to magic, didn’t hesitate to charge through the colossal flames and engage in a melee battle.
The spiked demons suffered heavy losses in an instant. They were already furious. The spiked demons wanted to crush the soldiers before them when the enemies approached, most of whom were only level-9.
The trident in the spiked demons’ hands tore through the void. They stabbed out with endless anger.
However, in the next second, they felt the terror of the trump card of Twilight City.
In close combat, the stone statue of the dead was still fearless.
Every time the heavy tomahawk in its hand broke, it trembled the spiked demon’s heart.
One could describe the other party’s strength as terrifying.
Even if their level was lower than theirs, it was useless… The enemies still had suppressed the spiked demons.
A frontal charge defeated the initially confident spiked demons.
The number of soldiers in a brigade was less than a squadron…
Several gamers who had run for a distance sensed that the danger had disappeared. They stopped to see what had happened.
They used a strategic treasure like a telescope. They had happened to see the aerial battle from beginning to end.
A level 12 spiked demon with such outstanding attributes. It thought the mysterious player who provoked the big boss would suffer a heavy loss this time.
But it slaughtered those spiked demons in the blink of an eye…
The group looked at each other speechlessly and only spoke after a long time.
“Which god is that player? Damn it, how could the enemy defeat a level 12 spiked demon so easily like a little chick?”
He was as curious as a cat as he scratched his head.
Half a year had passed, and the skeleton blood dragon was no longer exclusive to Twilight City…
So they couldn’t figure out who could have such fierce power.
Richard felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched his troops snipe at the spiked demons that guarded the rotten tree.
These were all top-notch troops that he had personally nurtured.
The trump card of Twilight City.
However, outsiders could not imagine how much he had paid to nurture this troop.
After Richard settled the danger in the outside world, he immediately focused on the rotten tree.
The area that the rotten authority covered had already shrunk to 50 meters…
The extra energy in the ancient god statue gradually became denser.
Its terrifying degree even triggered the soul of the sealed kobold god.
The other party struggled unconsciously. It was like it had sensed something extremely terrifying.
That also made his gaze burn even more.
Rotten authority.
The ultimate power of this world… He wanted it!
He could faintly hear a shrill roar.
“Ancient god statue…”
It was a high-level language full of evil and darkness, and Richard immediately understood the meaning.
