Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 1043 Powerful Divine Power - The Incarnation of the Goddess of Wisdom (4K, Requesting Monthly Tickets~)

In the central tower of the Heart of Wealth, Iverson Carlos slammed his fist into the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, his eyes bloodshot, his already deeply lined old face now twisted like a demon.

"He actually ran away! How could he just run away! You're a god!"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed, nor dared to believe, that the gods they placed such high hopes on would actually flee without a fight when faced with a mere human.

The other eight directors in the meeting room stared wide-eyed at the scene, and even with their intelligence, they couldn't understand what had happened for a moment.

Why would the gods they worship and rely on flee without a fight?
Moreover, at the very beginning of the battle, the deity fired only one arrow before fleeing without looking back.

What kind of mortal could make a god flee without a fight?

No one could answer their questions, but then their expressions turned extremely grim.

The gods' retreat without a fight rendered all their schemes futile.

Originally, they thought that no matter how strong Gao Yang was, he should have no power to resist the siege of dozens or even hundreds of peak legends.

But who would have thought that even the most legendary and immortal figures would be so utterly vulnerable when facing Gao Yang and that greatsword?

When the immortal legend who had escaped brought this news to them, they easily understood what Gao Yang wanted to express.

However, the supreme power that has long controlled a plane, and even made the entire crystal system operate according to their will through wealth, also breeds arrogance that looks down on everyone.

They are unwilling to give an explanation, and even less willing to give an explanation in such a humiliating way that they cannot accept.

Because they are the masters of the entire Crystal Wall System, they hold endless wealth and powerful figures in their hands, and in Salisbury, there exists the deity they worship.

Even if this mortal possesses peak combat power far exceeding what mortals can achieve, he is still just a mortal who has not ascended to godhood.

When encountering the true form of a god, they will inevitably be destroyed and killed without any power to resist.

And they, the masters of Salisbury, will intervene before Gao Yang is killed, stop the gods, save Gao Yang, and thus obtain the secret of the longevity gem.

But now, even the gods are fleeing in panic when faced with this human. How can these mortals, who are at most legendary, possibly win against this human?
Faced with a power that even the gods fear, the authority to rule over all living beings, the supreme status among mortals, and the inexhaustible wealth could not provide them with even the slightest sense of security.

Deeprock Nora crushed the wine glass in her hand, the scarlet wine mixed with glass shards flowing down.

"Iverson, didn't you say that Gao Yang couldn't resist the gods? What's going on now? Our supreme god is being suppressed and beaten by Gao Yang!"

"What's the point of saying all this now? Let's think about what to do next."

Whirlwind Fitzgerald frowned, his eyes darting around.

This scene made her realize the major mistakes in her previous decision-making.

"What else can we do? I don't believe you haven't analyzed this VIP client's personality. Just as we thought, if we don't give him any way out, he naturally won't give us any chance to survive either."

With his full head of silver hair and aristocratic air, Yale Kanvis kept his hands tucked into his sleeves. Even as he saw their greatest asset fail, he calmly said:

"Once we make a decision, we must bear all the consequences of that decision."

No one can win forever, and no one can do things without paying a price.

Even if we flee Salisbury now, where can we escape to?

Even if Gao Yang doesn't hunt us down, do you really think the remnants of the enemy forces who fell to us will let us go?

Leon Richard nodded slowly, his steel-needle beard making his aged face appear even more dignified. Looking out the window at the ruined city of Paradise, he said in a deep voice:

"Pray, my friends, pray with the most devout souls you have had since birth."

We pray that the life we ​​believe in and rely on will completely destroy our enemies.

Otherwise, then one should obediently offer one's neck for slaughter; perhaps that way one can retain some dignity.

As soon as he finished speaking, Deeprock Nora muttered a couple of curses under his breath, then turned and strode out of the conference room.

As for where he went or what he wanted, the others no longer cared.

Those board members who have been suppressed by them will not let such an opportunity pass them by.

Now, for all the directors of the Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild, it's time to place their bets. They can be fence-sitters, but remaining neutral means missing out on the sweet fruits of victory.

Just now, a glimmer of victory has begun to appear.

Because no matter what Deeprock Nora does, he can't leave this towering building.

The events that occurred inside the Sky Tower did not affect the battle between Gao Yang and Gnu Tick.

In just a few dozen seconds, Gnu Tik's robes were completely reduced to rags, and his divine body was covered with wounds of all sizes that could not be healed. Even the monocle he wore over his left eye was nowhere to be found.

'What should I do? What should I do? I can't escape, I can't fight back, am I really going to die here?!'

Gnu Tike used all his strength to resist Gao Yang's attack. In fact, if he hadn't expended so much of his divine power, he would have already died under Gao Yang's sword.

Gao Yang remained calm. He felt that the deity opposite him was the one with the worst combat skills and awareness among all the battles he had experienced.

If the opponent hadn't possessed divine power and been a true deity, with His terrible fighting spirit alone, He should have been hacked to pieces long ago.

Even so, the opponent couldn't hold out for much longer.

Under the combined influence of Eternal Radiance and the power of Godslaying, His divine body's self-healing ability has been greatly restricted.

With just a little more force, His divine body could be completely destroyed. Without His divine body, leaving only His consciousness hidden within His divine essence, He would face only utter death.

Even if the other party wanted to return to the divine kingdom now, Gao Yang was not worried at all. If it were the divine kingdom of a god of mid-level divine power, he might be somewhat wary.

But the divine kingdom of a deity with only a weak divine power is no longer a forbidden zone for him.

If the other party truly returns to the divine kingdom regardless of the cost, he can still obtain a plane core.

Gao Yang's mind raced, but he showed no mercy and slashed down with his sword. Now it was up to his opponent to decide what to do.

Gnu Tick grew increasingly anxious. It was no use saying anything now; the other party was determined to kill him.

Gnu Tick naturally understood that in this multiverse, killing a god could bring not only fame, but also various tangible benefits.

Putting aside everything else, a complete divine spark alone is enough to transform a mortal into an eternal and immortal god, just like he did a thousand years ago.

Not to mention, the various legacies that can be inherited from a god after slaying him are all benefits.

Most importantly, this mortal has killed more than one deity; the title "Bleacher (Brilliant)" says it all.

"If this continues, I will definitely die. I will die completely at the hands of this mortal. I don't want to die!!"

Gnu Tike's eyes bulged out, and his face, shrouded in divine light, began to distort and deform, his heart filled with the fear of death.

Even after becoming a god, he still feared the death that was equal for all living beings.

Gnu Tick was momentarily dazed, and the next instant, intense pain pierced his consciousness like a barrage of needles; his left arm was severed at the shoulder.

Divine blood spilled uncontrollably, His face instantly contorted in a ferocious grimace, He gritted His teeth and roared repeatedly, "You forced me to do this! You forced me to do this!"

With His low growl, the divine light began to fluctuate violently, and layer upon layer of divine power enveloped Him, with wisps of oppressive aura emanating from the divine light.

Gao Yang's expression was solemn. From the divine light that erupted at this moment, he felt a sense of threat that he had never encountered before.

The sensation was so intense that it caused a stinging pain throughout his body.

Amidst the divine light, Gnu Tik lowered his head unwillingly, gazing at the being enveloped in light standing above him, a flicker of thought passing through him:
"Goddess Merylkel, I submit to your great and profound wisdom, may the light of your wisdom shine upon me."

A wave of consciousness emanated from Him, and the light above His head trembled slightly. Then, a grand and gentle voice appeared in Gnu Tik's mind: "Gnu Tik, your choice was correct."

In return, the difficulties you face will no longer bother you.

Gnu Tike breathed a sigh of relief. The goddess of wisdom, Merylkel, had contacted Him long ago, wanting to bring Him into the pantheon of wisdom.

In this way, the goddess of wisdom, Meryl, could naturally expand the scope of her divine duties, thereby strengthening the source of her faith acquisition through quantity.

Of course, more importantly, the expansion of the scope of divine authority will enable the goddess of wisdom, Merikael, to continuously advance on the path of becoming the chief god of the pantheon, that is, a god of great power.

In fact, all powerful gods do this: they continuously expand their divine domain and the ways they can acquire faith, thereby accumulating their divine power to achieve great divine power and become the chief god of the pantheon.

However, Gnu Tick did not agree at the time. Back then, he was just an ordinary extraordinary being who was extremely fortunate to obtain a complete divine spark, which allowed him to successfully ascend to godhood and become a deity with weak divine power.

Back then, He was arrogant and had lofty ambitions. Naturally, He did not choose to agree to the invitation from the goddess of wisdom.

But in reality, it was because his divine domain was more inclined towards trade and buying and selling than the invention of wisdom. If the goddess of wealth had come to recruit him back then, he might have agreed long ago.

Unfortunately, the goddess of wealth doesn't seem to have any intention of expanding her divine authority; she has never had any thought about it, and there's not even any communication about it.

Throughout these millennia, the goddess of wisdom communicated with Him many times, but Gnu Tiki's attitude remained ambiguous, and He kept delaying.

But this time, faced with the heavy threat of death from Gao Yang, He had no choice but to accept the invitation from the Goddess of Wisdom, hoping to use her power to resolve the current crisis.

As for whether he would regret it later, Gnu Tike was just a shrewd businessman, not a fool. The power of a powerful god was beyond the comprehension of a god with such weak power as himself. Joining the party would be like having a powerful backer.

The previous reserve was nothing more than waiting for the right price.

The exchange between the two deities, though seemingly lengthy, was actually completed in a mere instant.

Under Gao Yang's wary gaze, he saw the layers of divine light surrounding Genu Tik begin to condense, along with a massive amount of magical power in the world, and countless tiny, glowing white dots the size of fireflies surging in from all directions.

Its terrifying power even stirred up a terrifying gale in front of Gnu Tick, powerful enough to tear an ordinary legend apart.

At the same time, Gao Yang suddenly looked up at the top of Gnu Tick's head. He could feel that something was watching him from the top of the other's empty head.

Under the other's gaze, a massive amount of magic power and shimmering white light points continuously converged and compressed, transforming into a human female figure two meters tall in a very short time.

The moment the human woman appeared, Gao Yang felt the gaze that had been fixed on him disappear, and then the woman in front of Gnu Tick slowly opened her eyes.

A pair of clear, black and white eyes appeared in Gao Yang's field of vision, filled with endless wisdom. Just one glance was enough to make Gao Yang feel an inferiority complex, as if he were being intellectually crushed.

snort!
A golden sword shadow flashed through Gao Yang's mind, extinguishing all the distracting thoughts that had just arisen.

Gao Yang looked at the woman in front of Gnu Tik, and the network notification appeared in his eyes:
"Network notification: Warning, you have been marked by the Goddess of Wisdom - Merylkel (Powerful God/Lawful Neutral/Avatar Form/Medium God Template)!"

"Network notification: Warning! The incarnation of the goddess of wisdom, Merylkel, has descended!"

"Network Scene Warning/Extremely Harsh Environment Warning: A powerful divine incarnation has appeared in the surrounding area. All life forms in this area must undergo an Intelligence/Willpower check. Those who fail the check will have their Intelligence and Agility temporarily reduced by half until the end of the battle."

Gao Yang tightened his grip on Yongyao, his azure-gold will coloring his entire fighting spirit with a golden hue.

He had finally encountered a being of this caliber, a god of immense divine power.

Even though it was just an avatar, it possessed the strength of a mid-level deity, and the oppressive feeling it brought was even heavier than that of the God of Conspiracy and Lies, who was also a mid-level deity.
