DEVIANT

377 Efforts of the black flame Emperor

How can someone who was created in this realm do something like this in just one day?

At most l, the level of this attack was slightly over the level of the archangel level, yet why do they feel anxious?

Feng Xi couldn’t help but shiver. The thought of someone rising from the angel realm to the archangel realm is unheard of. Even the Reboot God who is the ultimate among the false gods and the only true God in that settlement could not do this.

While it sounded impossible, they have all watched Alex grow during this time. He made a name for himself in the mortal world and even stopped their extermination plans. How could he not be unknown amongst these gods?

They even watched him kill the Dàn-T?? Emperor

“We may be overthinking this… The scorching marks were not caused by black flames so it’s safe to say he is not the one responsible for this. In fact, there is also a possibility he got caught up in whatever happened here and is dead as well…. Something that can steal territories? Hmph!, Even your black flame Emperor wouldn’t be capable of this when he first came here so don’t get your hopes up” Lord Xi said with a frown on his face.

He seemed so insecure about Feng Xi’s loyalty to the Reboot God and the other gods. He felt like if the black flame emperor were to show up now she would turn her back on them.

What was worse is that he suspected she would rather protect the new defect but all of these things are merely suspicions so he couldn’t act on them but that didn’t mean he would let his guard down and ignore the possibility.

That way when something finally happens, he will be ready.

.....

That is how he has managed to survive all these millenniums!

Thinking about this he gazed at the slope leading to the hole below. After pondering on this for a while he quickly ordered a retreat.

“Something or someone consumed a territory in less than an hour last night. I think this is something the Reboot God needs to know about. Outside that, we should all send scouts to check this and return with more information. We can’t allow whatever happened here to go unnoticed” Lord Xi said decisively and Feng Xi couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

As much as she hoped an ally did this, she couldn’t disprove the possibility of it becoming an enemy. The Reboot God is the supreme being in this part of the God realm, if someone will know more about this it should be him.

“Agreed” Feng Xi said with a stern look on her face.

Only after hearing this did Lord Xi let out a sigh of relief.

Only after she said this did they turn and begin returning to their home but leaving behind a handful of new gods to keep their eyes on the situation and not to investigate.

New gods are hard to create. A day here is worth a thousand years in the mortal realm yet even in this place, gods don’t spawn often. After the black flame emperor, Alex has been the newest god to appear in over a century!

A century!

That is to show how long the black flame emperor held back these old gods from wiping out humanity and the other races again. This explained why the entire settlement ended up turning on him and the Reboot God turned a blind eye to what happened to him.

......…..

Meanwhile, ?’l remained oblivious to what was happening in the last place where he once fought. He didn’t expect people to come for him or anything, plus he has been on the move since last night.

The power accumulated from wiping out all the beasts of that Territory wasn’t even enough to push his rank from the archangel level to the next one.

Well, this was expected since the power of faith left in these god beasts was dwindling and they were at their final moments. He couldn’t even find anything substantial in them.

“Empty barrels make the loudest noise… who would have thought they were near their deathbeds coming at me… this also explains why they were as suicidal as they were. God beasts like that who have come to terms with their fate will never be normal. Apparently, they all have something to prove” ?’l said in a cold tone as his scarf and hair fluttered in the wind.

After acquiring the territory, he has been exposed to quite a lot of things and knows more about this world. It seems like knowledge and power work hand in hand since with each milestone of strength he gains, more secrets of the world are revealed to him.

Right now, he realized each territory had a divine gear in its location, which can only be claimed after taking over a territory. This made ?’l wonder where the Xinxiu healing goddess got the scarf from.

Judging purely based on her fighting capabilities and individual strength, he could confidently use the word impossible when describing such a feat for someone like her. He wasn’t naive enough to believe she had some hidden strength she didn’t get to reveal,

He quickly concluded that she must have picked it up, and that’s why she had the guts to refuse his offer. She must have thought she could escape with the help of this tool.

“Unfortunately, I am the one she came across,” ?’l said with indifference in his eyes as he looked deeper into the darkness and frowned.

This was within the hole where the territory was located. After consuming the territory, he gained knowledge of the divine tools and that’s why he came here. He has been descending for a while now in the darkness but strangely now he could see perfectly well.

Jumping into the hole allowed him to drop on what he considered a mountain top and since the previous night, he has been descending this mountain which seemed to have no end.

Another person who comes here may not be fortunate enough to even be able to navigate their way through this darkness. Only their wielder of the territory can see within the darkness of this hole.
