The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 280 The Ancient Gods Attack!
Before long, the stars twinkled, and the ancient aura that permeated the star realm slowly dissipated.

Many of the higher-ranking gods also withdrew their gazes.

Zorn's gaze swept over the magic rings of the dozen or so gods and their projections, and he spoke loudly.

"My friends, you high gods, each of you occupies a vast world territory."

"However, merely dwelling in these worlds without participating in the wars that ushered in the mythological era will never allow one to leave behind ancient sacred marks and remain estranged from the ancient gods."

"As you all have clearly seen in this war on the Stardust Plateau, both great nations are suffering defeat after defeat."

"Why not join our Disaster Court Kingdom and participate in the war against the two kingdoms of Eternal Curtain Star? Perhaps we can even leave some ancient holy marks in this war, which will greatly increase our chances of becoming an ancient god in the future."

"Heh... Lord Zorn, that's quite a nice thing to say."

The Void Supreme God of the Nine Sacred Stars, Tai Xing Gu, responded softly.

"Unfortunately, we are used to freedom and do not like to join any force and be driven by others."

"Moreover, we are not people of the Disaster Court, and we might be sold out while still counting the money for the seller."

These ancient gods, who have lived for countless years, would not be easily persuaded to surrender by Zorn's few words.

"On the contrary, Lord Zorn should be careful."

The Taixing dialect carried a hint of amusement.

"Previously, your Disaster Court first wiped out the ancient divine kingdom of the Emerald Kingdom, and then you launched a sneak attack on two ancient gods of the Emerald Kingdom."

"As far as I know, Lord Zorn is involved in all of this."

"Now, that newly ascended ancient god is suspected to be from the Emerald Kingdom."

"Hehe... If that newly ascended ancient god from the Emerald Kingdom were to come and seek revenge on you, the evil god Zorn, that would be interesting."

Upon hearing this, Zorn's eyes narrowed slightly. He stopped talking to Tai Xinggu and silently increased the intensity of his actions in all aspects.

Now that his strength has increased considerably, it's time for him to enter the even stronger stage of the War of the Heroic Spirit Kingdom.

They seemed to sense that Zorn had intensified his attack.

The higher-ranking gods also unanimously increased their military strength.

Before we knew it, five or six years had flown by again.

At this moment, in the astral void outside the divine realm, in the middle of the opposing Law Ring Trees.

An extremely fierce battle of gods is underway.

Although the number of people on one side of the Alliance of High Gods is large.

However, over such a long period of time, Zorn had already refined a considerable portion of the opponent's heroic spirits.

This leads to the situation becoming increasingly complicated over time.

The Alliance of High Gods was forced to bring out mid-level Heroic Spirits, and even high-level Heroic Spirits.

Whether it's a high-ranking or mid-ranking Heroic Spirit.

In the ensuing conflict, they were repeatedly imprisoned and restrained by Zorn using the ancient artifact [Resurrection Cosmic Death Ring], resulting in the deaths of a considerable number of them.

During this period, the Alliance of High Gods also attempted to launch a large-scale attack using High Heroic Spirits, hoping to completely annihilate Zorn.

However, after more than two years of large-scale battles, Zorn brought out hundreds of thousands of high-ranking Servants and millions of mid-ranking Servants.

If they persist, they might actually have a chance to defeat Zorn.

But they will inevitably pay a heavy price.

Ultimately, the Alliance of High Gods was unwilling to expend so much of its High-Ranking Heroic Spirits.

After all, even if they lost, some of the gods among them wouldn't suffer any losses, so naturally they wouldn't fight to the death.

Ultimately, both sides ceased hostilities and continued to exhaust each other.

But as time goes by.

As Zorn begins to increase his strength.

These alliances of higher gods began to suffer visibly increasing losses.

After all, by constantly being restrained by Zorn using the ancient artifact [Resurrection Cosmic Death Ring], they would only become weaker with each battle, while Zorn was getting stronger and stronger.

Zorn was 80-90% confident in his original plan.

However, on this day, the situation changed.

Zorn, who was in deep meditation, paused slightly.

He vaguely sensed something.

"not good!"

Zorn, who was sitting cross-legged on the Tree of Laws, suddenly stood up.

The next moment, a terrifying power of an ancient god suddenly descended.

Before Zorn could escape along the cosmic web...

"Boom... Sizzle..."

A green lightning grid had already spread out, covering the entire area.

Not only was Zorn enveloped in it, but the projection of the Calamity Ring Tree beneath Zorn was also enveloped in it.

Even Zorn's cosmic magic network was suppressed to some extent.

Zorn's possibility of escaping by projecting into the cosmic magic network was also directly nipped in the bud.

Knowing that he was about to lose his life here, Zorn calmly looked at the ancient god who had ambushed him.

"Belliar, it really is you."

After examining the ancient divine image for a moment, Zorn spoke calmly.

"Huh? You know me."

The ancient god's phantom was slightly taken aback.

Zorn simply stared expressionlessly at the majestic and vast phantom of the ancient god.

How could I not recognize him? He was destined to be the first new generation of ancient god born in the Emerald Kingdom, the absolute darling of the era.

Even more so, a terrifying being who could lead the Emerald Kingdom to even greater heights in the future.

Moreover, the opponent's illusory shadow technique is quite difficult to deal with.

The Shadow Ancient God, Belial.

Once it grows up, it will definitely be one of the most difficult ancient gods to kill.

Of course, if you don't let it grow, it's relatively easy to kill.

"It seems you know quite a bit about our Jade Kingdom. I have been cultivating in seclusion for many years. Although I have made a few moves, not many people know about me."

"I didn't expect that you would call out my name so quickly when I made my first move after just advancing to the Ancient God realm."

"I originally wanted to kill you outright, but now I might let you live a little longer."

The newly ascended ancient god Belial spoke with absolute confidence.

It was as if he could destroy Zorn with the slightest gesture.

"Let me live a little longer?"

Zorn couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

He already knew a great deal about the methods and abilities of this newly ascended ancient god Belial.

While the other party may not be completely unaware of his methods, they are highly likely to have known about his core techniques.

Based on its status as an ancient god, its ancient divine power, and the cosmic pressure it wields.
"Even though you have ascended to become an ancient god, your arrogance is perhaps a bit too much."

As he spoke, Zorn had already begun to secretly devise various schemes.

This newly ascended ancient god used his special methods to directly enter this border world.

It may seem like he's acting alone, but it's bound to involve some ancient gods from the other two great divine kingdoms and the Emerald Kingdom, and might even involve some ancient artifacts.

Zorn was confident he could escape.

However, there are still some ancient artifacts that can threaten him, or even severely damage him.

When caution is needed, Zorn will not let his guard down for a moment.

When Zorn confronted this newly ascended ancient god.

The situation is that the newly ascended ancient god of the Emerald Kingdom has intruded into the border region.

Naturally, it was sensed by the three ancient gods of the Disaster Court Divine Kingdom.

Their enormous silhouettes appeared on the Tree of Laws immediately.

But at the same time.

The four ancient gods of the Eternal Curtain and Star Remains kingdoms on the Stardust Plateau appeared as if they had made a prior agreement, forming a confrontation with the three ancient gods of the Disaster Court.

Meanwhile, in the borderlands, the powerful projections of two other ancient gods were also faintly visible, threatening the Kingdom of Disaster.

Five ancient gods, plus two powerful projections of ancient gods.

The combined power of seven ancient gods put pressure on the three ancient gods who were backed by the Tree of Calamity.

While rapidly contacting the ancient gods of the Hidden Wasteland, they also looked towards the two great divine kingdoms of Eternal Curtain and Star Desolation.

"Gentlemen, your kingdom can no longer hold on. Are you preparing to start the ancient war of the gods?" Antisum, the leader, spoke in a calm yet chilling voice.

"Hehehe... Couldn't hold on? Of course not, it's just that that little evil god was too much of an eyesore, and I'm just going to teach him a little lesson today."

"Hmph! To teach a high god a small lesson, you actually have to use so much ancient god power."

"Even an ancient god wouldn't receive such treatment."

"Ha ha……"

The ancient god star skeleton laughed heartily.

"If you wish to save that evil god Zorn, then go ahead."

"I'm afraid that even if we manage to save that evil god Zorn, you yourselves will likely be at risk."

"If you don't believe me, then go ahead."

The three ancient gods exchanged glances. Although their expressions were not good and they were quite worried about Zorn's safety, they dared not make any rash moves.

Before the forces from that hidden wasteland arrive to provide support, any rash actions could indeed cause serious losses.

The power of ancient gods is astonishing.

Even after death and resurrection, one will enter a long period of weakness.

The weakened state after resurrection makes you vulnerable to being caught by enemies, which would be troublesome.

"Urgently urge the officials from the Hidden Wasteland to come and provide support."

Antisum transmitted his voice.

"We've already urged them twice, but the Emerald Kingdom is clearly prepared. We need to delay them for a while longer before the people from the Hidden Wasteland arrive."

"Delay it a little longer?"

The other two felt a slight sinking feeling upon hearing this.

Delaying the inevitable is probably what the Jade Kingdom wants.

"Now we can only hope that Zorn has enough trump cards and that the newly emerged ancient god of the Emerald Kingdom will not be able to find a weakness."

Looking towards the distant border of the Stardust Plateau, Antisum frowned slightly.

"For now, that's all we can hope for."

…………

During the standoff, the other party did not immediately strike.

Zorn naturally guessed what they were thinking.

Simply killing Zorn once, and then having Zorn resurrect and leave, is meaningless.

They naturally wanted to completely eliminate Zorn.

Zorn also knew that the other party did indeed possess an ancient artifact with this function.

However, given Zorn's current arrangements deep within the Stardust Plateau, and the strength of his divine realm today...

Even when faced with the methods of those ancient artifacts, they would mostly be unable to threaten him.

At this point, Zorn didn't mind the standoff.

after all!

At this moment, the entire Stardust Plateau was under the shadow of the war ritual initiated by the ancient gods sacrificed by Zorn.

For Zorn at this moment, confronting the ancient gods is the "Ancient War".

Each confrontation with this ancient god yields more ancient holy marks.

Even fighting against ancient gods would catalyze the creation of astonishing ancient holy marks.

If the other side knew that Zorn had sacrificed an ancient god and initiated a war ritual, they certainly wouldn't have done it.

But no one knew that Zorn had orchestrated an ancient war within the Stardust Ancient Worm Path that radiated across the entire Stardust Plateau and encompassed the three Great Magic Ring Trees.

A battle against an ancient god would probably yield more ancient holy marks than the ones transformed over a hundred years.

Confrontation with Zorn.

The newly ascended ancient god Belial also noticed something amiss.

But he simply assumed it was a method secretly left behind by other ancient gods.

Regardless of how other ancient gods may have protected Zorn, today Zorn is to be destroyed.

The evil god Zorn has had such a tremendous impact on this war that he cannot be allowed to live any longer.

"Zorn, you are exceptionally talented and have a profound foundation. You are the kind of talent our Emerald Kingdom needs."

"Why don't you pledge your allegiance to my Emerald Kingdom today?"

In the past, it was Zorn who persuaded others to surrender, but today he was the one who was persuaded to surrender.

Upon hearing this, Zorn pondered for a moment before replying.

"It's not impossible for me to surrender."

"Ok?"

That Beria was just saying it casually to buy time.

He naturally couldn't believe the other side had surrendered, after all, how many people from the Emerald Kingdom had the soldiers preparing to kill?

If he truly surrenders, the number of gods who want to kill him is countless.

But the evil god Zorn actually seemed to agree, which was quite unconventional.

"Oh? Tell me."

At this moment, the ancient god of shadow, Belial, did not mind stalling for a little longer.

“The ancient god spell I possess is extremely powerful. If Belial can withstand this ancient god spell of mine without getting injured, I will be willing to consider surrendering.”

Zorn spoke with great conviction, but no one could be sure whether what he said was true or false.

"Oh? You want to attack me?"

The ancient god of shadows, Belial, smiled.

“Zorn, you have only been a high god for a few hundred years.”

"You must know that there is a huge gap between ancient gods and high-level gods. Not only is there a qualitative change barrier in their levels, but they also have completely different ancient divine power. More importantly, the cosmic pressure from the ancient level makes ancient gods and high-level gods not even on the same level."

"Go ahead and attack me. Today I'll show you the vast difference between ancient gods and high-ranking gods."

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Zorn squinted.

The ancient god of shadow, Belial, solidified his illusory shadow even further, then let out a few cold laughs.

The longer it drags on, the more certain it becomes that Zorn will die.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Zorn first donned the Ancient God's Veil.

Then the Hand of the Ancients erupted.

"Boom boom boom..."

One blow after another relentlessly bombarded the body of the ancient god of shadow, Belial.

Zorn's attack caused many high-ranking gods to change their expressions slightly.

Those experts from the Seven Saints Stars, and even the Nine Saints Stars, all sensed the terrifying destructive power contained within.

however.

The ancient god Belial, who blocked these attacks, remained calm and composed.

But a slight ripple stirred in his heart as well.

"This evil god Zorn has only cultivated for a few hundred years, yet he possesses such strength."

"Just as the other seniors said, we absolutely cannot let this evil god Zorn advance to a high god, or we'll be in big trouble."

"Boom boom boom..."

Despite the continuous attacks, the ancient god of shadow, Belial, remained unmoved.

However, during the attack, Zorn could clearly feel that his ancient holy marks were rapidly catalyzing during the ritual.

The Emerald Kingdom, the Starry Kingdom, the Eternal Kingdom—these ancient gods sought to annihilate Zorn. The tide of sequence, centered on Zorn, further propelled him toward becoming one of the ancient gods.

In the midst of his successive attacks, Zorn had also prepared most of his backup plans.

In fact, Zorn had already sensed those hidden fluctuations using the Stardust Plateau's Ancient Insect Path.

As Zorn attacked, the ancient god Belial, the shadow, seemed to receive some command. He smiled slightly and looked at Zorn, saying in a deep voice.

"Zorn, the evil god, you've attacked enough. It's my turn to strike!"

The next moment, he suddenly attacked Zorn.

Interspersed among them were some strange, ancient powers.
