American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

"Ilúvatar, compared to becoming the master of a dimension, is naturally more perfect in becoming a single entity with the power of thousands upon thousands of forces combined."

"After this station, I can promise you that when the time is right, I will personally help you break through the single-target barrier."

0.9 Upon hearing this, the entire Creator God trembled instantly.

After a moment of silence, Ilúvatar took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, I look forward to that day."

Locke smiled and nodded: "Then you should make preparations first. Also, tell me the exact number of Vera and Veri you're taking with you, so I can make arrangements."

Ilúvatar smiled without saying a word, then simply pointed her finger, and a glimmer of light, imbued with information, instantly entered Locke's brain.

A moment later, Locke's eyes lit up.

Good heavens, that's really something! There are over thirty Vera and Veri who want to leave. And each of those Vera and Veri is a being of the level of a sub-father.

As for the lesser gods, Maiar, there are even more, estimated to be over fifty.

Locke glanced at Ilúvatar without realizing it, and could only say that she truly lived up to her reputation as a creator god whose primary focus was on life.

The Law of Life, also one of the top-tier laws, is relatively weak in combat, but its auxiliary effects are ridiculously strong. It can not only heal life, but more importantly, its ability to nurture powerful beings far surpasses that of other laws.

After all, powerful beings are, in essence, just at a higher level of life; they are simply different levels of life.

Chapter 115 The Imminent Birth of the Underworld Scene

Gu Yi gently waved an ancient fan. It has to be said, her demeanor was so refined that if it were an old man with white hair, he would have completely captured the essence of her.

Of course, now is not the time to complain about this.

Locke looked at the Ancient One, whom he had invited, and said, "Ancient One, I need your help."

"Oh, tell me about it~"

"I need your help to cover up the arrival of a group of gods."

In fact, the Ancient One knew about some of Locke's abilities long ago, such as his ability to obtain things from other worlds.

The reason is simple: it would be difficult for a supreme sorcerer who monitors the latitudinal fluctuations of the entire world not to notice this situation.

She was a bit irritable at first, but Tom disciplined her a few times before she calmed down. Now she's just given up and doesn't care what Locke invites her to anymore.

Not only that, she would also go to Locke's place every few days to eat and drink, showing that she wanted to eat back what she had lost!

She ate, and Locke wasn't intimidated. Every few days, he would go to Kamar-Taj to enjoy tea and read books. And you know what? That's how their relationship developed.

The Ancient One is someone Locke considers a close friend.

Sure enough, whenever Locke needed help, the first person he thought of was the Ancient One.

As for Odin, the cheap father-in-law, it's probably not because the other party is about to kick the bucket, right?

Ancient One showed a hint of curiosity: "It seems that the one you summoned this time is no ordinary being, a god? Or a very powerful being from another world?"

Ancient One asked out of pure curiosity; in reality, she didn't care much about Locke's abilities.

Being able to connect with other worlds sounds impressive, but that's about it. As the Sorcerer Supreme, and a powerful one like the Ancient One, do you really think it would be difficult for her to connect with other universes?

The fact that there are hundreds of thousands of Supreme Masters on the Supreme Master's unique online platform is probably a joke.

This is also why the Ancient One always seems so nonchalant and calm in the face of anything. I may not be able to beat you, but I don't mind calling on a stronger Sorcerer Supreme to slap me in the face.

The Ancient One used this method against Tom, but it failed her, which is one of the reasons why the Ancient One was so wary of Tom.

"Strong? It's alright, the main thing is the quantity."

"????"

A series of question marks popped into Gu Yi's mind.

What the hell is this? You've taken over their entire pantheon?

Gu Yi's curiosity was satisfied in the next moment.

A dark, impenetrable teleportation tunnel, from which powerful auras emanated.

One share, two shares... ten shares, twenty shares...

"?"

Even Gu Yi was stunned for a moment. While she was stunned, Locke was not. He quickly took action, and the power of the Phoenix and the power of Chaos transformed into a double-layered canopy, suppressing the aura of the alien deity that resembled the void.

Ancient One also quickly intervened. The two Heavenly Father-level beings worked together to barely suppress the powerful and incongruous alien aura generated by the fusion of nearly three-digit alien gods.

A moment later, the way the Ancient One looked at Locke became incredibly subtle.

“Thirty sub-fathers and one superior father, you didn’t actually dig up an entire pantheon, did you?”

Locke chuckled: "You know what, in some situations that's actually true."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to include these guys in the Lord of the Rings pantheon.

The next moment, a powerful and overwhelming will appeared beside Locke and the Ancient One.

Locke casually pointed: "Let me introduce you to some. Ilúvatar, the creator god of a world, whose strength is comparable to the high-ranking Godfather of the life system."

Gu Yi's eyes lit up immediately. Life type, let's just say it's the most popular type. Most powerful people, upon hearing "dark type," would just start beating it up, since there's a 99% chance it's not a good thing anyway, and killing it won't make a difference. But upon hearing "life type," almost 99% of life forms, their first thought is to befriend them. That's how appealing the life type is.

"This is the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, the Almighty Heavenly Father. Her mastery of the Time Law has reached a level close to breaking through to the level of a single individual."

The creator god Ilúvatar's expression immediately hardened. He had heard of the Almighty Father; he was an exceptional being among the Fathers, and one whose primary focus was time. One could only imagine how powerful he was.

Hello~

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

The Ancient One and Ilúvatar were both very friendly and greeted each other warmly.

"Come on, let me show you my new territory, which will also be Ilúvatar's future residence."

Ilúvatar said gently, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Locke."

Three figures vanished from their spot in an instant, along with nearly a hundred Vera and Maya.

.........

Hellfire Mars—it doesn't matter what this planet was called before, it's called Hellfire Mars now anyway.

The Ancient One simply sat down and left. It wasn't that she wasn't curious about the newcomer, but rather that it wouldn't be appropriate to do too much since they had just met. Locke probably had his own things to do as well. Anyway, there was plenty of time, and with the Ancient One's 'freebie-making skills,' she had plenty of ways to get closer to him.

Vera and Maya were also left to the Hellfire members to arrange, leaving only Locke and Ilúvatar, who ended up together.

Looking at Ilúvatar, who resembled a 'man of light', Locke asked with some curiosity, "In your current state, have you completely severed ties with Middle-earth?"

Ilúvatar nodded: "Yes."

"Now, I am a wandering star god who has lost the 'main world'."

"So what are your plans next? Will you connect with the planet beneath your feet, or do you have other ideas?"

Ilúvatar smiled slightly: "The Star God is my essence, from which I was born, but now that it has been severed, what is the point of being a Star God anymore?"

Once you become a Star God and form a connection with a world, everything will be nurtured by that world. The world can nourish the Star God and make it stronger. Even if it suffers severe damage, it can gradually recover in the core of the world, unless it is directly annihilated. However, it is not without its flaws.

The drawbacks are twofold: first, the physical body can never leave the Earth's core. Just like before, apart from the brief encounter with Locke, Ilúvatar's movements outside are always in the form of phantoms or projections. Second, everything depends on the world itself, and the possibility of cultivating on its own has been isolated.

Now that Ilúvatar has completely broken free from the constraints of being a Star God, she clearly doesn't want to continue being one.

"If you're not going to become a Star God, then your true form should be fully formed by now, right? You can't continue to stay in this state, can you?"

Although Xiao Guangren's condition is not a big problem, who would want to be a Xiao Guangren all the time, given their rich emotions?

Suddenly, Ilúvatar smiled, giving off a gentle, comforting feeling.

“In fact, my true form has been fully formed and now possesses a human form that truly belongs to me. Lord Locke, would you like to take a look?”

“Okay~” Locke nodded. To be honest, she was really curious about what the creator god really looked like.

The starlight surrounding him dissipated, and a stunningly beautiful figure appeared in Locke's sight.

Standing at 178cm, she exudes a slender and tall presence. Her hair is as white as snow, and her skin is as white as jade, radiating a refined beauty reminiscent of cold white jade. Her white long skirt doesn't feel overly revealing; instead, it evokes an ethereal and pure white aesthetic.

Upon seeing Ilúvatar before him, Locke took a deep breath: "Savannah?"

The human form of Ilúvatar before him was strikingly similar to Savannah, the most beautiful elf Locke had ever seen in his previous life, a being who had amazed the entire world.

"So the owner of this is called Savana~" Iluvita said with great interest.

"???" A series of question marks popped into Locke's mind.

"Lord Locke is very curious."

"Well, sort of."

“I sensed a particular understanding in you. It seems that in your mind, the most beautiful elves should look like this. Out of curiosity, I started to change in that direction.”

"How are you feeling, Mr. Locke?"

"How about it……"

"Hiss, I think I should probably leave."

Locke was afraid something would happen if he didn't leave. Savannah, the most beautiful elf who had amazed the world back then, was now considered by many to be computer-generated.

That's not all. The most beautiful elf is just an ordinary person at most. She's beautiful, but her temperament can't compare to that of the true creator god. This is a plus version of Savannah whose temperament has been elevated to the extreme. Who can resist that?

Locke felt he needed to calm down; what if he acted impulsively again?

Anyway, there's plenty of time later, cough cough.

Behind him came Ilúvatar's clear, flowing laughter, as if she found Locke's behavior... quite amusing.

Locke, having left Hellfire Mars, looked utterly helpless. He could only say that this being, who had lived for so long, was truly remarkable. If Locke's motivation and drive to help Ilúvatar achieve her individual goal was 10 before, it had now exceeded 1000!

But I have to admit, it's really good!

Suddenly, Locke's expression changed, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant. When he reappeared the next moment, he was already at the Hellfire headquarters.

Even after the new Hellfire Mars was built, Locke did not abandon this headquarters. After all, he had lived there for quite a long time and was almost used to it, so there was no need to demolish it.

Then, the interdimensional trading interface was opened at lightning speed.

I just received a notification that a new trading plane has been connected.

Accompanied by the familiar snowflake symbol, a scene appeared in Locke's sight a moment later. It seemed to be a temple, not a fake temple, but a temple that truly possessed special power. Just by looking at it, Locke could vaguely feel some kind of special power contained within it, or perhaps divine power.

Locke's eyes lit up immediately. Could this be some kind of mythological world?

If it truly is a mythical world, then its resources and everything else would be far superior to those of any ordinary world.

The next moment, a figure appeared in Locke's line of sight.

Locke's brow furrowed slightly. She was a beautiful woman, but only slightly less so than Ilúvatar, whom he had just met.

You should know that Ilúvatar's beauty is a level above all of Locke's women. This one is only half a step below Ilúvatar, so you can imagine how stunning her appearance is.

"Trader, state your name."

"Greetings, esteemed unknown deity, I am Medusa, daughter of Phorcys, the god of the sea."

"???"

Medusa? Greek mythology?

Moreover, the other party's background is that of a certain temple.

Good heavens, could this be the place where that 'underworld spectacle' is about to unfold?!

Chapter 116 Medusa's Fear

Seeing Locke fall into a long silence for no apparent reason, Medusa suddenly asked with some fear, "Your esteemed divine presence, did I say something wrong?"

Seeing the other party's fearful and apprehensive appearance, Locke shook his head.

Although the other party is also a descendant of gods and can be called a demigod, to be honest, demigods in the Greek pantheon are not really worth much. Except for a few who can truly possess power comparable to gods, most of them can only be considered extraordinary beings.

"Daughter of Phorcys, the sea god, I have glimpsed your destiny, the destiny of eternal tragedy."

Since it's a mythological world, there's no need for a lot of explanations. Just say a few mystical things, and most divine beings will accept that.

In an instant, Medusa's exquisitely beautiful face turned deathly pale.

In the Greek pantheon, there are quite a few gods who are well-versed in the power of fate.

Most importantly, Medusa did indeed run into trouble, as the sea tyrant Poseidon coveted her.
