Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Arrows rained down from the sky like a sudden storm.
Soul Manipulator·Zade was still wondering why, even though Soul Devourer had clearly been unsealed, it still could not eliminate the divine power inside his body.
He did not even have time to react before he was swallowed by the rain of arrows.
-183695!
-173649!
-188888!
At this stage, a Level 100 Ghost King of the Divine Oracle Supreme Race, the Ghost Clan, was indeed invincible.
But as it turned out: a Ghost King in a 90% weakened state was indeed no match at all.
After taking the full combo of Lin Mo's SSS-rank skills, Soul Manipulator·Zade's HP, which had already been reduced to just 10%, suddenly dropped to 7%.
At this moment, Ji Ningshuang and Super God Athena were both baffled.
"How could this happen?"
"Didn't you say that as long as we had this Soul Devourer, we could recover from the weakened state?"
At this point, Soul Manipulator·Zade carefully examined the Soul Devourer in his hand and finally discovered where the problem lay!
"The grade of this weapon is wrong!"
"Why is it only C-rank?"
"Back when it was in the hands of Lord Lafa, this was clearly an S-rank weapon!"
"Damn it! It must be because it has been dormant for too long! Its quality has been damaged!"
At the same time, over here,.Qin Feng, Ling Xiao, and Xia Wanwan, who had originally been worried that after Soul Manipulator·Zade obtained Soul Devourer, it would use Soul Devourer to recover from its weakened state and start killing everyone, instantly relaxed.
Looking at Lin Mo and Ning Xi, who had remained calm and unhurried from beginning to end, Qin Feng suddenly realized, "Brother Mo! Sis-in-law! Did you already know that even if this Ghost King obtained Soul Devourer, it temporarily couldn't use Soul Devourer to recover from its weakened state?"
Lin Mo said casually, "According to Divine Oracle's game lore, this divine weapon was originally specially made by the Ghost Clan Ghost Venerable Soul Reaper·Lafa to fight against the God Clan."
"Only when Soul Devourer's grade reaches at least S-rank can it fully counter the power of the God Clan."
"Even after unsealing it and restoring its unlimited growth ability, its current grade is still C-rank. It's nowhere near enough to use it to eliminate divine power and recover from the weakened state."
Hearing this, Super God Athena's blue eyes showed both shock and anger, "So you already knew this, which is why you handed Soul Devourer over without hesitation!"
"That whole act just now was fake! You deliberately put on that act for us!"
Qin Feng held up three fingers, "I swear! I'm not an actor! I really didn't know!"
Xia Wanwan stuck out her tongue, "I didn't know either~"
Ling Xiao became even more convinced of his own speculation, "When Boss made this decision back then, I said that since Boss was doing this, he must have a plan of his own. And now, it looks like that was indeed the case."
But what Lin Mo said next made Super God Athena so angry that she nearly spat blood on the spot.
"You're half right."
"There's another half."
Lin Mo said, "Soul Devourer can only be unsealed by a bloodline at or above that of a Ghost Clan King."
"You…", At this moment, even Ji Ningshuang, who realized it only afterward, found it unbelievable, "You deliberately used us to unseal Soul Devourer?"
Using the Ghost King Soul Manipulator·Zade to unseal Soul Devourer, restoring its unlimited growth ability, and then killing the Ghost King.
This had been Lin Mo's original plan.
It was just that Qin Ming and the others happened to stage this kidnapping of Ling Xue in Ghost King City, forcing Lin Mo's plan to be brought forward.
From the God-Sealing Diagram; to the Divine Refining Cauldron; and then to Soul Devourer.
"Why?"
The disbelief in Ji Ningshuang's cold, beautiful eyes grew stronger, "Why can you always grasp the initiative one step ahead of us?"
Ji Ningshuang and the others naturally could not figure it out.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi had a super trump card in their hands that was no less powerful than an SSS-rank talent, Ning Fei!
Including this time, being able to discover ahead of time that [Soul Devourer] had to reach S-rank or above before it could fully counter the power of the God Clan, thereby eliminating the divine power inside Ghost King Soul Manipulator·Zade and restoring its weakened state.
This too had been deduced by Ning Fei by calculating the growth curve of the divine weapon Soul Devourer.
"So, are you still planning to continue being our enemies?"
[T/N: WTF is this nincompoop halfwit eunuch talking about? Kill them, you moron! Stop being so wishy-washy ass licker all the time.]
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Qin Ming made an immediate decision, "Protect the Ghost King!"
Super God Athena said angrily, "Is there any need to protect this useless thing?"
Ji Ningshuang said, "As long as Ghost King Soul Manipulator·Zade doesn't die."
"Besides, Soul Devourer is already in our hands."
"All we need to do later is raise Soul Devourer to S-rank, remove the divine power inside Soul Manipulator·Zade, and restore its weakened state. Then we still have a chance."
Thus, following Qin Ming's order...
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
A large group of Genesis Guild players suddenly charged out from both sides.
Holding swords and shields, they formed a defensive line and guarded in front of Ghost King Soul Manipulator·Zade.
Seeing this, a trace of coldness appeared in Lin Mo's eyes.
"I respect your choice."
Watching Soul Manipulator·Zade, which had transformed into a cloud of black smoke and fled toward the depths of Ghost King City under the cover of the Genesis Guild players, Lin Mo raised Illusory World·Wrath of Thunder.
Full combat mode, mixed with Thunderous Might.
Red lightning erupted around his body.
His fighting spirit instantly reached its peak.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
With the 220%+ basic attack speed bonus from the S-rank Black Dragon Emperor Ring, arrows rained down from Lin Mo's hands.
Relying on basic attack damage in the hundreds of thousands, combined with the ricochet effect of Arrows of Thunder, he wiped out all the Genesis Guild players blocking the way ahead.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless white lights shot into the sky.
In the distance, Liu Kai, who watched this scene, had a look of pain on his face.
"Damn it! Isn't the Super God Guild supposed to be so damn awesome?"
"Super God got wiped out, and they're treating my Genesis as cannon fodder!"
If his father had not given him a death order, who would be willing to become enemies with Rulebound?
Even the Super God Guild had been wiped out, the Genesis Guild players were even less capable of stopping Lin Mo.
In an instant, they were slaughtered.
And the Ghost King Soul Manipulator·Zade in its weakened state had all its attributes, including speed, reduced by 90%.
With its current speed, it could not escape Lin Mo at all.
After eliminating these obstacles from Genesis, Lin Mo easily caught up with Soul Manipulator·Zade.
"Damn human!", Soul Manipulator·Zade jumped around like an ant on a hot pan.
"It's time to end this."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo locked onto Soul Manipulator·Zade and drew his bow, firing an arrow.
SSS-rank Ice and Snow·Grasp of Extreme Cold.
The temperature of the air instantly dropped to zero.
At the instant the cold arrow cut through the air and shot straight toward Soul Manipulator·Zade, suddenly, with nowhere left to escape, Soul Manipulator·Zade plunged into the ground and disappeared.
Lin Mo noticed that at the spot where Soul Manipulator·Zade had disappeared, a strange-looking black vortex had suddenly appeared on the ground.
Soul Manipulator·Zade had not burrowed underground.
It had instead rushed into this vortex.
Lin Mo could not help but frown slightly.
Such an opportunity, he absolutely could not let Soul Manipulator·Zade escape with Soul Devourer. [T/N: But, he will. Because he has to suck Nether's tiny dihh again, right? Isn't that the whole plot about?]
Thus, Lin Mo also followed and stepped into the vortex.
The next second...
Whoosh!
His entire body was sucked into the black vortex and disappeared from Ghost King City.
