He slowly walked towards the Soul Fire, stopping a few steps away. He circled the wall of fire, chuckling gloatingly, and spoke to Rhode across the Soul Fire.

"Where do you think you are?"

Augustus had no intention of waiting for Rhode's answer, simply chuckling to himself as he answered his own question.

"This is my world of consciousness—"

"The Black Box you touched outside is my Soul Box. Everything here is under my control. I am the heaven here, the supreme god. How long do you think you can resist?"

Even though there was a layer of Soul Fire between them, Augustus seemed to already see Rhode's figure, nodding with satisfaction and a hint of arrogant pride.

Good, good.

It was worth spending so many good things to lure this explorer over. It was worth waiting for so long.

From the moment he knew his death was near, Augustus had set up a seemingly flawless trap for himself.

Soul Box—

Also known as the Black Box, used to store one-third of his remaining soul.

Placed around the altar.

As long as the explorer reached the altar and obtained the items there, they would definitely not let go of this box. After all, no one would know if there were greater inheritances or treasures inside.

To be on the safe side, Augustus had also set up some small spells on the Black Box to attract people.

As for the previous inheritances?

They were just three traps.

Anyone who targeted these three inheritances would definitely not be some old monster. Even if they passed the test, they would be scarred and exhausted. At that time, that young and talented body would become his for the taking.

He could then use black magic to parasitize this body and return to the world.

However, Augustus did not expect that he would wait for so long, from the initial confidence to the later anxiety.

Augustus also panicked in this day-to-day waiting.

He even felt that he might have made the wrong step, trapping himself in this Black Box, and even blamed the main body's decision.

But everything disappeared when Rhode arrived.

So what if he waited a little longer?

In this way, those old monsters from back then should all be dead. When he went out, wouldn't he directly dominate the entire continent?

The only thing he didn't expect was that Rhode would still have the strength to contend with him. Originally, in his vision, he could easily take down Rhode.

But this matter did not have a big impact on Augustus.

Rhode had already fallen into his trap. Taking Rhode's soul was only a matter of time. The fact that Rhode's body was intact proved that Rhode's talent and physical strength far exceeded his imagination.

With such a body, coupled with his profound knowledge of black magic.

From now on, who else could be his enemy?

No matter how Rhode resisted, he couldn't compete with him. From the moment Rhode entered the vault, the ending was already doomed.

Augustus looked at the wall of fire with smug satisfaction, as if looking at a trapped beast putting up a last-ditch struggle.

"I've been in the box for too long. I didn't know what the outside world was like…"

He sat cross-legged outside the wall of fire, his magic wand resting on his knees. His beard was long and dragging on the ground, but he didn't care. Instead, he provocatively spoke to Rhode.

"But just now, when you came in, I sensed a bit of your consciousness fragments."

Augustus's mouth under his beard opened wide, laughing silently, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, filled with red blood vessels. Only after laughing enough did he continue.

"Now it is a world without gods!!"

He looked at the flames arrogantly: "I must thank you for telling me this."

"Considering this, when I refine your soul, I will try my best to preserve your human form, so that you can be my servant for a longer time."

Augustus trembled with laughter: "Don't worry, as long as there are no gods, no one will be my opponent after I go out. Although you are just a servant at that time, without self-awareness, others will still think highly of you for being by my side."

"Lowly explorer, being able to dedicate your body to me and your soul to follow me will be the greatest honor of your life!"

Although Augustus himself was not necessarily afraid of the gods—

He was Augustus, the ancestor of black magic.

In the era when gods still existed, he was also a well-deserved strong man, and he had personally challenged the gods.

Although the ending was still a complete defeat, he was the one who lived to this day!

He was also the one who could return to the continent!

The world where the gods have disappeared will usher in their true master.

Augustus!

Thinking of this, Augustus's body trembled uncontrollably with excitement, and the look in his eyes as he stared at the wall of fire was like that of a hungry wolf, wishing he could swallow Rhode alive and replace him.

Rhode sat inside the wall of fire, and upon hearing Augustus's words, his expression did not change at all. Instead, he touched his chin and slowly replied.

"Didn't you see anything else?"

He really seemed to be underestimated.

Rhode clicked his tongue.

Of course, Augustus didn't know why Rhode would suddenly ask this, but he just regarded it as Rhode's last-ditch resistance, and just snorted with a laugh: "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

His tone was full of disdain.

Back then, he dared to fight even gods, let alone a mere youngster.

“So there isn't any.” Rhode's tone remained calm: “Aren't you afraid of taking a tumble because of this?”

Augustus didn't even have the mind for idle chatter.

These youngsters nowadays.

He chuckled, picked up his magic wand, and stood up.

They are just too arrogant!

Thinking that just because they passed the triple test he set, they are so powerful, little do they know that they are no match for him at all.

If you want him to take a tumble, you'd at least have to involve the gods, right?

Does a little youngster like Rhode deserve it?

“I just haven't talked to anyone for too long.” Augustus said slowly, then glanced at Rhode again: “Plus, seeing as you're about to die, I'll chat with you for a few words. Do you really think that the little flame of soul you set up can stop me?”

As soon as the words fell.

The magic wand in Augustus's hand burst out with a strong red light again, which was surprisingly bright in the midst of a black mist.

It illuminated his face, making it look particularly hideous and terrifying.

“The armor on your body was given to you by me. Want to stop me? Dream on!”

Along with his words, countless black mists poured towards the flame of soul in front of Rhode.

Pfft.

Rhode's fingers moved slightly, and the flame of soul in front of him suddenly went out.

Augustus didn't notice it at all, only stubbornly believing that the black mist had swallowed Rhode's flame of soul. Immediately, he ordered the black mist to capture Rhode, and the remnant soul unscrupulously released itself in the space, forming a huge mouth in the sky, fiercely devouring and gnawing at Rhode's consciousness.

He wanted to replace Rhode and completely seize Rhode's body!

Rhode never made any resistance, but instead had a faint smile on his lips, and the expression on his face could simply be described as extremely calm.

Chapter 259: This move, God's Domain!

For some reason, even though Augustus was full of confidence, when he saw the expression on Rhode's face, he couldn't help but speed up the devouring action.

This kid is too weird.

Clearly, he was about to be finished by himself, but his face had such a strange smile, which was simply creepy.

Augustus suddenly understood the principle that a long night invites dreams, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, burying his head and devouring Rhode's consciousness.

“Haven't you noticed?”

Rhode's voice was lazy.

He even yawned, and then looked down at Augustus, who was like a parasite: “You haven't devoured even a tiny bit of me, have you?”

What?

Augustus seemed to hear a trace of sympathy in Rhode's voice, and stopped his movements in astonishment, looking at Rhode's still complete soul consciousness.

Boom! !

He only felt a severe pain erupting from the depths of his soul, and then his entire body flew out and crashed heavily into the black mist.

Augustus's mind was filled with bursts of severe pain, making it impossible for him to think normally.

What exactly was that just now?

Logically speaking, there is no power in the current world that can hurt him.

He is the ancestor of black magic, and black magic cannot hurt him at all. As for white magic, isn't this kid Rhode afraid that his body will explode?

What's more, even if it is white magic, only old monsters of his age could possibly unleash such powerful white magic!?

His whole body was in tearing pain.

Tap tap tap.

Augustus heard Rhode's footsteps, and the tearing pain on his body made him instinctively cower, looking up at the direction where Rhode was.

Rhode slowly walked out of the black mist.

A trace of light lingered around him.

Augustus suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Rhode in disbelief, his beard constantly trembling with the amplitude of his lips.

“Divine power?!”

Augustus's eyes were about to split: “How could you possibly have divine power?! Didn't the gods disappear?!”

He looked like he was going crazy.

“No, that's not right! Even in the era when the gods stood tall, a person like you shouldn't possess divine power!”

Rhode clicked his tongue twice.

That's why he asked Augustus if he had seen more things.

If Augustus had seen even a tiny bit of something related to divine power, he should have understood that he couldn't go against him.

Unfortunately, Augustus was unlucky and only captured a little bit of information about the continent.

This is fate.

“Is it my inheritance? Is it that my inheritance contains divine power? This divine power should have been mine in the first place!!”

“Otherwise, how could a youngster like you come into contact with divine power? If there was such a channel, I should have been the first to know!!”

“Did you open the box?! No, it shouldn't be. You were teleported in when you touched the box. You didn't get the things in the box, so how could you possess divine power? Why do you possess divine power!”

Augustus had completely fallen into madness. The tattered soul torn apart by divine power was pieced together into a pile of paste, surging towards Rhode's direction with his old face.

Rhode's mouth twitched.

This old geezer has a problem with his brain. If this old geezer could really get divine power, would he still need to be screaming his lungs out.

“Forget it.”

Rhode squatted down slightly, looking down at Augustus.

Although Augustus was indeed a complete and utter ruthless scumbag with a not-so-good brain, he had, after all, taken three inheritances from him.

Therefore.

Just send him on his way happily.
