Chapter 358: Slaying the Spear God, Drawing Out the Weapon God-King?!
.....
[System Log: Your "Spatial Suit" has triggered its set effect. You have obtained 7,200,000 Divine Power points!]
[System Log: Since this is the player's first time solo-killing the god "Holy God - Angel Cu," you have been awarded the Holy Divine Spark!]
"Tsk, tsk. That's a pretty hefty chunk of Divine Power points."
Hearing the system prompts echo in his mind, Seito smacked his lips. That bird-man had provided a massive payout, directly yielding 7.2 million points!
"What if I focus on hunting down independent, isolated gods first?"
With a sudden spark of inspiration, Seito formulated a new strategy. He planned to explicitly target independent gods wandering alone! After all, these entities could still provide him with an immense hoard of Divine Power points. If he could quietly accumulate enough to break through to the peak of the God-King Realm before making a high-profile entrance, he would hold a mathematically absolute advantage over everyone else!
With his blueprint finalized, Seito smoothly set out to execute the plan.
A significant period of time flew by...
The Central Region of the God-King Star Sector.
"Strange. Why have so many gods fallen today?"
"To lose this many within a single day... Has one of the God-Kings personally stepped onto the battlefield?"
"Bizarre. Truly bizarre. I can't find a single trace of whoever executed my subordinates."
"This is getting downright eerie."
Across the Central Region, numerous God-Kings monitored the sudden drop in their faction numbers, deep confusion and suspicion filling their minds. The sheer volume of casualties recorded today alone easily matched what would normally take a thousand years to accumulate in standard skirmishes.
One had to understand that as supreme God-Kings, they strictly withheld their hands from direct interventions. The task of siphoning and trading divine power was delegated entirely to the lower-ranking gods of the star sector. The God-Kings themselves spent every microsecond focusing on their personal cultivation metrics, building up their factions, and waiting for the absolute perfect window to launch a total war against one of the four cardinal rulers to seize a Main God Authority.
But today's freakish anomaly breached their established rules. If a God-King had actively descended to farm the lower tiers, it was a massive violation of their strategic playground! Filled with suspicion, the local rulers grew hyper-vigilant, expanding their perception tracking arrays to keep a continuous watch over their active subordinates. Although they couldn't decipher who the stealth killer was, the absolute microsecond another god fell, they intended to execute a localized flash-step straight to the coordinates.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the sector...
A Hidden Mountain Cavern within the Central Region.
"This feels absolutely spectacular."
Seito stared at his active status panel, a deeply satisfied smile playing across his features.
[Name: Seito]
[Divine Title: Space God-King]
[Rank: Early-stage God-King Realm] (Note: Interface text displays early-stage)
[Divine Spark: Spatial Divine Spark]
[Talent: Spatial Mastery]
[Divine Power Required for Breakthrough: 150,000,000 / 200,000,000]
[Skills: Speed Dimension (Exclusive), Spatial Teleportation (Exclusive), Spatial Phase-Step (Exclusive), Spatial Dragon's Roar (Exclusive), Spatial Dragon's Breath (Exclusive), Dimensional Slash (Exclusive)...]
[Weapon: Spatial Suit (God-King)]
Seito had completely lost track of how many gods he had executed by this point; he only knew that his current grinding efficiency was off the charts! His Divine Power pool had already sky-rocketed to a staggering 150 million points! At this rate, a few more successful rotations would be more than enough to trigger his breakthrough to the late stage of the God-King Realm.
To his current parameters, any entity below the God-King tier was nothing more than an ant. He could easily wipe them out from the world matrix with a single, casual skill activation.
Scanning the local coordinates, Seito quickly locked onto his next target.
The god possessed a human form, radiating a sharp, piercing aura that could slice through the heavens. His parameters sat perfectly at the peak of the God-rank. Peak God-rank powerhouses were Seito's absolute favorite targets—after all, their high levels guaranteed massive point payouts!
"Though, if I keep making a mess like this, I wonder if the local God-Kings will catch on to my coordinates?" Seito rested his chin in his hand, thinking it over.
He was well aware that his current actions completely disrupted the local meta.
Executing this many gods was a massive anomaly! It was only because he consistently deployed his spatial energy to mask his presence during each assassination that he hadn't been swarmed yet. But at this point, he couldn't afford to be careless. He refused to believe that the native God-Kings hadn't logged the statistical dip in their rosters.
"If worst comes to worst, I'll just execute a spatial retreat back to the lower realm!" With his backup plan locked in, Seito didn't waste another microsecond, instantly blurring out of the cavern.
On the other side of the mountains...
A towering, majestic peak pierced straight through the sea of ethereal white mist.
The deep green mountain ridges rolled consecutively like massive oceanic waves, stretching infinitely toward the edge of the horizon before dissolving into the dense fog. Looking at the sheer scale of the landscape was enough to instill absolute awe into any onlooker.
At this moment, a peak God-rank god was tracking his surroundings with extreme vigilance. Just a moment ago, his faction's God-King had sent out an emergency transmission across the mental channel, stating that a rogue God-King was actively slaughtering gods across the sector and ordering everyone to retreat to the home base immediately.
The warning had terrified him! It was the first time he had ever heard of a God-King explicitly hunting lower tiers, and the fact that their own faction leader couldn't even map the killer's coordinates made it an absolute nightmare.
"Die."
Suddenly, a thunderous voice boomed right next to his ear like a sudden crack of lightning.
An unimaginable sensation of fatal crisis instantly gripped his soul! Before his neurological tracks could even register a defensive reaction, his entire physical structure was instantly vaporized into ash!
[System Log: Your "Spatial Suit" has triggered its set effect. You have obtained 8,460,000 Divine Power points!]
[System Log: Since this is the player's first time solo-killing the god "Spear God - Linch," you have been awarded the Spear Divine Spark!]
Seito's silhouette materialized at the coordinate point.
"Oh? The Spear God?" Seito blinked as the system log processed. Had he just casually assassinated a core general belonging to the Weapon God-King's faction? Talk about a seamless coincidence!
"I have zero data on the Weapon God-King's exact power scaling. Time to slip into stealth first!" Seito executed a swift phase-step, disappearing cleanly into his Kamui dimension.
The Weapon Faction Palace.
BOOM!
Inside the grand palace, a terrifying wave of divine pressure abruptly detonated, shaking the pillars of the hall. The Weapon God-King's eyes burned with absolute fury.
"The Spear God has fallen?!"
Another one of his top-tier vanguard generals had been executed, driving his rage to an absolute boiling point. Without wasting a single syllable on words, the Weapon God-King blurred into motion, vanishing from his throne room.
Back at the coordinate sector where the Spear God had just been erased...
A dignified man clad in a traditional hanfu, his long black hair flowing loosely past his shoulders, abruptly materialized in the sky. He was none other than the Weapon God-King!
BOOM!
The sudden, unrestricted arrival of the God-King instantly generated a kinetic shockwave that pulverized several
surrounding mountain peaks into dust. He dropped down to the terrain, his eyes narrowing into a sharp, tight grimace as he scanned the exact spot where the Spear God's life signature had cut to zero.
"Who did this?"
There wasn't a single shred of residual energy left behind! From the exact microsecond he arrived, he had fully uncoupled his perception grids to scan the environment, yet the killer's data footprint was entirely nonexistent. It felt as though no one had ever been here, leaving the Weapon God-King deeply perplexed.
"Could the perpetrator possess a specialized concealment-type Divine Spark?"
The Weapon God-King automatically linked the anomaly to a specific archetype of power, since completely erasing one's footprint like this could only be accomplished through high-tier stealth laws. He suspected that a brand-new God-King possessing a master-class command over concealment had recently ascended in secret.
Standing in absolute silence, the Weapon God-King dropped his head into deep contemplation.
Right at that exact microsecond, a playful voice suddenly echoed out of thin air!
"You finally showed up? Get inside!"
