Swamp Lord: I have an intelligence system.

Lear took a deep breath and looked behind him.

Greed, cruelty, sloth, lust, plunder.

All five powers are negative powers; once one wields them, one's character will be affected by the power. The only power that can block this influence is the one that grants power.

Karanis!

Only that being with an unwavering will can wield these negative powers unscathed.

However, it's not absolute; a brutal authority could indeed be bestowed upon Haggs.

This leader of the wetland lizardmen had fought alongside him in countless bloody battles, and his merits were already more than enough.

Moreover, the lizardmen are inherently brutal, and they only appear obedient and docile under his iron-fisted suppression.

This power being bestowed upon the other party is quite a good match.

Plundering authority is a perfect fit for the Barbarian, Bettina!
The demigod who revived from ancient times has now regained his demigod strength.

He was just one step away from the final promotion.

The God of Plunder sounds pretty formidable.

As for greed, sloth, and lust, since there are no suitable candidates, let Karanis take control.

Only she could control these powers, instead of letting them sway her will.

As he pondered, his gaze fell upon the battlefield below, where the fighting was still raging.

Although the dragon army suffered repeated defeats, it still numbered in great numbers.

Lear made no move, letting the army hunt him down; he couldn't possibly have time to act at any time.

There will be many more situations like this in the future, and it's not a bad thing for the army to see more bloodshed.

And what is the configuration of the army he commands?
Still worried?

Half an hour later, the last dragon fell to the Chaos Angel's sword.

The power of the five-colored evil dragon Tiamat was completely annihilated.

After the battlefield calmed down, Lear didn't hesitate and immediately summoned Bettina, who had fought alongside the Chaos Angels, while also calling Hagus from behind.

Once the two had arrived, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"I now bestow upon you the power to govern well!"

Without waiting for the two surprised individuals to react, Lear swiftly guided the two streams of energy from the sky into their bodies.

In that instant, Bettina felt an indescribable aura surge into her soul.
She touched and controlled it subconsciously.

Then, he felt lighter and his aura began to surge.

Hagus had not yet been promoted to demigod, and now that he had touched the power, he found it somewhat difficult.

But with Lear as his backer, he would never allow the word "defeat" to ever be associated with him.

Lear directly mobilized divine power, raising the opponent's level to demigod level 24.

Then it guides its soul to perceive authority.

With this dual-track approach, it quickly caught up with Bettina's pace and began to transform.

The two-headed ogre chieftain on the other side saw this scene with a hint of envy, but no jealousy. At this moment, he only had the desire to make a name for himself.

Your Majesty's arrangements will certainly not have any problems!
If he wasn't selected this time, it must be because his performance on the battlefield wasn't perfect!
He will surely achieve even more great feats in the future, so that he can be worthy of His Majesty's reward!

The fighting spirit is high.

Lear and the other two fell into a deep sleep, their attention drawn to their surroundings.

They directly mobilized the power of the swamp kingdom to completely engulf Tiamat's kingdom.

How terrifying power does a powerful god's kingdom contain?

The area of ​​the Swamp God Kingdom has increased from 800 kilometers in diameter to 900 kilometers!

The power of the planes became visibly abundant.

At the same time, plants on the earth began to sprout new buds, and more grasses and trees that did not exist before quietly emerged.

The rules are being improved.

Upon realizing this, Lear felt pleased.

At the same time, he finally discovered Tiamat's treasure trove deep in the earth!

It was an underground castle made entirely of gold, and in the center of the castle was a dragon's nest filled with all kinds of precious gems and ores.

The dragon's nest has a diameter of over three thousand meters and a depth of over five hundred meters!
However, this enormous dragon's nest was still filled to the brim!
In addition, next to the Golden Castle, there are ten treasure vaults, each a kilometer wide, filled with various ores and gems.

Lear was shocked by this scene.

He had seen Daenerys's kingdom, but it was not his spoils of war.

But at this moment, everything about this powerful divine force has become his!
That feeling was completely different.

Lear was unaware that, as the god of the five evil dragons, the five evil-tempered dragons under his command would sacrifice one-tenth of their treasure to him every hundred years.

Over tens of millions of years, who knows how many treasures have been accumulated!
Moreover, they wouldn't even consider someone ordinary.
What does "get rich quick" mean?

That's it!

The city of Weilu is lacking in resources, but the thought of plundering a treasure trove of a dragon god that has been accumulating for tens of millions of years is simply insane!
Other deities, upon obtaining the treasures, will most likely use them to train their armies and enhance their combat power.

But dragons are different, being one of the most outstanding creations of the creator god.

They possess powerful bodies, immortal souls, and unparalleled talents; as long as they survive, they can continuously grow stronger.

They don't need to do these things at all, so the treasures they obtain are hidden away instead of being consumed.

Of course, the main reason is still the greed in one's heart.

But now, everything Tiamat had accumulated has become his!

Lear was in an exceptionally good mood.

Without further ado, he waved his hand.

Rumble~
The earth trembled.

Then, the treasure trove and golden castle buried deep in the earth surfaced.

The treasure trove, filled with riches, was laid bare before everyone without reservation.

Even the gods had never seen such a scene before, and they were all stunned for a moment.

The Night Elf God took several deep breaths to barely suppress the turmoil in his heart.

There was a hint of envy in his eyes.

After this wave of harvest, the swamp has truly reached its peak.

Without wasting words, Lear immediately opened a portal to the city of Weilu, ordering the city hall to send people to inventory the goods.

Any items that are needed should be moved back immediately.

The accumulation of a lifetime of powerful divine strength is enough to excite anyone just thinking about it.

The crowd immediately sprang into action.

This is the most comfortable time after a battle. Time to collect the spoils!
Meanwhile, Lear retrieved Tiamat's artifact that had been knocked away.

Surprisingly, this weapon was indeed a high-level artifact, but it wasn't the Blade of Tiamat.

Instead, it is a unique artifact—the Heart of Spirituality—that can be shaped by divine power to create armor or weapons that perfectly suit one's habits of movement.

These attributes are somewhat similar to those of alchemical mechanical armor.

Moreover, its level is quite good; it's also a high-level artifact.

However, this weapon simply could not withstand the Holy Angel's Sword.

With the supreme artifact, plus his power, the sun of the Crown of the Sun, and the convergence of several chains of battle intent, it would be strange if it could be stopped.

With a thought, Lear directly injected power into it.

The next moment, this unique weapon began to twist and melt.

Then, as if it had a life of its own, it transformed into gray-black energy and surged directly towards him.

It covered the body directly.

Gradually, it coalesced into a set of pure black armor, with dark gold patterns engraved on it.

Coupled with its overwhelming momentum, like mountains and seas collapsing, it immediately gives people a strong sense of oppression.

His eyes were like torches, and he exuded an imposing aura even without anger.

That excessively young face didn't seem out of place at this moment; instead, it exuded endless mystery, completely defying the childishness one would expect from someone that age.

Lear felt a sense of solidity emanating from the Heart of Spirit, a feeling heavier than mountains.

He was very satisfied; perhaps its creators originally intended it to be a defensive weapon.

I just didn't expect Tiamat to use it as a weapon.

I feel much better now.

Seeing that the situation was settled, the God of Night Hunters did not linger and left after taking his leave.

Lear didn't try to stop him, but he did tell him something: if Rose attacked in the future, he could save her once.

The Night Elf God was extremely excited; with this promise, this was a win-win situation no matter what.

He immediately thanked them respectfully and left.

With the only outsider gone, Lear immediately felt relieved.

For the next few days, the city of Leyte continued to digest Tiamat's treasure.

There are just too many. Even though Bubble Beast is moving them day and night, it still feels like it can't finish.

It's like moving mountains away.

The resources transported back to the territory were quickly absorbed by the blacksmith shops and alchemy workshops and transformed into military supplies at the fastest speed.

Most of the materials for creating the god-slaying mechanical puppets have been found, with only a few missing, but they are all common metals.

Lear mobilized the forces of the city of Weilu and gathered them up in just a few days.

They worked like this for a full half month, until March 17th, when they finally finished taking stock of the supplies.

The harvest was nothing short of extravagant; even the rarest and most precious metals, such as mithril and adamantite, could fill enormous rooms.

Not to mention anything else.

Unfortunately, a large portion of them were worthless trinkets like jewelry, and Lear bestowed away those that were of little use except for their aesthetic appeal.

This made everyone very happy.

However, something did cause a delay. The Goddess of Misfortune informed Lear that her plans for his ascension to godhood had to be postponed due to the extremely turbulent situation.

Lear wasn't disappointed. He hadn't had any expectations to begin with. If he had placed his hopes on others, he wouldn't have made it this far.

On the same day, the 51st Godslayer Mechanical Puppet was officially completed, marking the start of the second round of large-scale troop production.

With ample resources available, the two major military industrial sectors are once again ramping up their efforts.

The sheer volume of resources produced daily can only be described as exaggerated.

It's worth mentioning that the number of goblins has increased to 35, all of whom have been crammed into the alchemy workshop.

The number of blacksmith shop employees has also increased to an astonishing 30.

In order to enable the Lava Dragon to maintain its output, when the intelligence was updated on February 20th, Lear relied on one of the pieces of information that the Abyss God - the Magma Grand Duke - would appear in the wilderness.

He took direct action, targeting the magma duke with the power of a weak god, but the duke was more skilled and retreated back into the abyss.

But before he could even rejoice, Lear charged straight into the abyss and killed him on the spot within his plane.

Then, 40% of its authority—magma—was extracted and bestowed upon the lava dragon, elevating this demigod, who had devoted himself day and night to the blacksmith's shop and the alchemy workshop, to the status of a weak god.

With a deity providing a constant supply of fire, the output of each department began to become even more extravagant.

The previous situation of not having enough dragon breath will never happen again.

Moreover, the dragon's breath from the gods carries abundant magical energy, which also enhances the attributes of the equipment forged. April 1st marks a full month since the dramatic shift in the situation, and in this past month, the area outside the prime plane has been like a powder keg that has been ignited.

Every day, gods fight each other, new gods are born, and old gods fall.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

The main plane was also affected, and the tentacles of the gods began to reach into it.

Various demigods led their armies, with ultimate units as the main force, and divine legions began to appear on a large scale in the main plane, expanding their territory, building walls and cities.

The situation has entered a new phase of turmoil.

At this moment, Lear could also sense that the restrictions imposed on the gods by the rules of the prime plane were becoming increasingly weak.

Only the last layer of shell remains, and it could break at any moment.

On April 7th, the number of Godslayer Mechanical Puppets exceeded 80!
To maintain production, Lear has intensified his hunting efforts in the Abyss these days.

With the situation so chaotic, no one knew what he was doing. The world was in chaos, and who cared about outsiders?

By April 15th, after two months of hunting, the number of Abyss Dukes who had died under the Holy Angel's sword had exceeded 50!

This data is absolutely outrageous!
Normally, the entire Abyss would be in an uproar, but now, the power of the Abyss is becoming increasingly violent, with a large number of demigods and extraordinary beings being promoted to new Grand Dukes of the Abyss every day.

These evil gods mostly wield three powers: the abyss, darkness, and evil.

Although most of them only account for 0.01%, even a small amount of power still constitutes power, enough for them to cross that threshold and become legitimate deities.

This also gave Lear the feeling that he could never completely kill the evil gods of the abyss.

But this is good, he really likes killing evil gods that can't be completely eradicated.

While conquering the abyss, the number of demons killed was also insane.

They directly fed the cold-blooded cavalry.

He slaughtered an entire abyss plane.

At its peak, it could kill millions of demons every day.

Most of them are level 15 or above.
With such an abundant supply of flesh and blood energy, in just over a month, Lear amassed a full million level 18 cold-blooded cavalry.

In addition, there are 10 level 18 Dragonfly Knights, 15 Eternal Night Eagle Knights, and 10 Eternal Night Arbiters.

Meanwhile, Lear also took the time to directly open the spatial dimension of the Rainbow Candy Dragon and conquer the 4 level 16 Rainbow Candy Dragons inside.

We will no longer need to use the extra honey from pitcher plants to recruit people.

In addition, the number of newly recruited lizardman warriors has reached 30.

With Lear's orders, the Congregation for the Faith of the Vatican began recruiting without restraint, completely unafraid of being discovered or offending any deity.

The military strength of the entire territory can be described as skyrocketing, finally showing some of the grandeur that a powerful god should possess.

By April 20th, the number of Godslayer mechanical puppets had reached a historic high of 100.

Meanwhile, Bettina, Hags, and the two-headed ogre chieftain for whom Lear recently found suitable authority have all been elevated to godhood.

The number of god-level combatants under Lear's control has exceeded one hundred.

The speed of expansion was so exaggerated that he couldn't believe it.

At this moment, the goddess of misfortune once again came to the city of Weilu.

And she brought him great news—the plan had worked, and she had secured the resources for Lear to ascend to godhood.

Looking at the aloof goddess before him, whose eyes held a hint of joy, Lear felt a touch of emotion.

The other party's hard work and dedication are genuine, and that's what touches people the most.

"Your Highness."

The Goddess of Misfortune smiled and stopped him from speaking. With a wave of her hand, a golden fragment of law appeared before him.

His tone carried a subtle undertone.

"These are fragments of the Golden Law that we retrieved from the ancient battlefield of chaos at a great cost."

"As long as you master the power within, you can advance further. However, this golden law has been corrupted by the power of chaotic gods and demons."

"It could very likely involve significant risks, and you'll have to make the decision."

Lear reached out and took it, feeling that it was a treasure ten or even a hundred times more complete than the fragments of the Golden Law he had obtained before, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He nodded firmly.

"I will make a breakthrough as soon as possible."

He remembered this kindness.

As for the chaotic power inside, do you even have the courage to break through it?
The goddess of misfortune gave him a deep look.

"If something is impossible, don't take risks."

Lear smiled and directly channeled his divine power into the Golden Law.

The next moment, this power of law, containing an extremely terrifying aura, merged into his mind.

The divine essence immediately shone with brilliant light and began to slowly dissolve this power.

Upon seeing this, the goddess of misfortune couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The eyes are a little complicated.

This young man was the most amazing person she had ever seen, rising from nothing to something in less than two years.

And now, they even have a goblin golem army of over a hundred people, comparable to gods!
His 5-star ultimate unit, Chaos Angel, numbers as many as 10!
He also wielded the Holy Angel War Sword, a supreme artifact.

Unbeknownst to her, the person who had initially appeared weak and insignificant in her eyes had become a top-tier giant who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

She even had a feeling that the other person might soon be able to reach a higher level than her.

Thinking of this, his gaze became even more complicated.

Finally, he took a deep breath and vanished as a stream of light.

Regardless, the two sides are now allies, friends, and comrades-in-arms, and their strength is a great thing.

Upon seeing this, Lear's eyes deepened.

After a long while, he came to his senses and immediately returned to the Swamp God Kingdom, preparing to devour the authority.

While suspended in the sky, he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the sun is shining on the earth, which is 900 kilometers in diameter.

The intense energy was so clear, so striking.

Lear seemed to be deep in thought.

He reached out and took out the Holy Angel Sword.

His gaze flickered as he looked at the chains of battle intent above.

Since divine artifacts can be upgraded through the refinement of the sun, why can't they use the sun to forge the Golden Law?

Moreover, the sun is under his control, so there's no need to worry about any problems arising.

In the Golden Rule, that terrifying chaotic power is extremely aggressive.

If consumed in the normal way, the soul will inevitably be contaminated.

But no matter how powerful this force is, it is like a rootless duckweed or a tree without soil.

Can it still withstand the scorching sun?

With this thought in mind, there was no hesitation.

It flew straight away and entered the sun.

In an instant, one felt an endless heat surge over them. In the sun, even the void was completely annihilated, swallowed up by the intense heat.

Even a god who has mastered all divine power cannot last long!

At the same time, a moss-green flame rose from all around, slowly merging into Lear's soul and attaching itself directly to the fragment of the Golden Law that exuded ferocity.

In an instant, he closed his eyes.

Closely monitoring the movements in his mind, he attempted to mobilize the sun and the primordial fire to burn the fragments of the Golden Law.

That treasure of rules, formed at the very beginning of creation, emitted a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine after being burned.

Ancient, weathered, and terrifying.
That power came from the remnants of the chaotic gods and demons.

It is an immortal power on par with the creator god.

At this moment, the power of the Golden Law, which had spread out, surged into Lear's soul, attempting to erode everything about him.

But at that very moment, the primordial fire and the sun's blazing flames exerted their power simultaneously.

It directly burned away that chaotic divine and demonic power.

However, that force was extremely tenacious, remaining steadfast even when burned, and was eliminated very slowly.

It even wanted to absorb the surrounding power to replenish and recover.

But Lear didn't give it that chance. He frantically mobilized his forces to burn.

As time passed, the aura of the Golden Rule was gradually eroded.

Lear completely forgot about the passage of time.

I don't know how much time passed, it felt like a day, or a century, before the remaining chaotic energy was finally completely eliminated.

At that very moment, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he abruptly channeled the primal fire into the Golden Law.

The laws, scorched by the primordial fire, melted like ice and snow, directly merging into Lear's soul.

The soul of a high-ranking deity is now more than ten times stronger than that of a mid-ranking deity!
Devouring became very easy.

With the continuous influx of power, Lear grew stronger every moment. His soul became stronger, his body became more perfect, and every cell was transforming, containing more energy.

He was completely absorbed in it.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last fragment of the Golden Law was completely devoured, his soul reached an unprecedented level of strength.

An explosive force surged through his body like magma, and every breath felt like the sun exploding.

After calming down from that vast and overwhelming power, Lear slowly opened his eyes.

this moment.

The millions of followers of the Swamp Cult trembled violently and knelt down in the direction he was standing.

The sun-like blazing light, the great ruler, the immortal god, has broken through once again.

His personhood has been elevated once again!

With a slight thought, Lear floated in the air above the Swamp God Kingdom.

At this moment, his own power surged unrestrainedly in all directions.

The entire divine kingdom, even the three-tailed boar, wailed and prostrated itself on the ground.
Snap~ Boom~
The edge of the swamp kingdom began to extend outward at this moment.

The range has been increased from 900 kilometers to 1000 kilometers.

At the same time, the dimensional barrier gradually shrank from its extreme thickness to one-tenth of its original thickness.

But the surface has all turned into honeycomb-like crystals.

Although the thickness of the shield has decreased, its hardness has increased more than tenfold!
Lord God!

After many trials and tribulations, Lear finally took this step and reached the pinnacle of the gods!

At this moment, no one could ignore his presence.

His will will make the gods take notice and the world tremble!
Just then, a familiar notification appeared in my mind—

[You have accumulated more than 20 pieces of intelligence without refreshing. You can refresh for one piece of golden intelligence. Do you want to refresh now?]

He glanced at the time; the panel displayed July 15th.

Lear frowned.

In other words, his transformation took a full three months?
A sense of unease lingered in my heart; I wondered what the situation was like outside during the months he was gone. (End of Chapter)
