"Another main god has appeared? No, it seems somewhat different from the main god on the Red Sun."

"They seem to be in an antagonistic relationship with our main god. Moreover, relatively speaking, despite their terrifying aura, they don’t seem to match our main god."

The underwater giants discussed with horrified expressions.

At the same time, Waldo glanced at the two injured demigods on the ground.

In the end, he refrained from attacking.

"The strength of the three main gods in this world appears to be somewhat greater than mine. I’ve miscalculated, I can’t even contend with one main god. And there are three main gods on the Red Sun."

"If they were to unite, I wouldn’t stand a chance, and I might not even escape, ending up dying a miserable death in the underwater world."

"Hence, escape is the only option!"

"Escape as fast as possible!"

Waldo found the strength of the three main gods somewhat unexpected. If a battle occurred and he was surrounded by them, he wouldn’t even be able to escape.

Consequently, he didn’t even bother killing the two severely wounded demigods. He vanished completely to flee, creating an illusion in his place to deceive onlookers.

Swish! His form disappeared on the spot.

To divert attention, he left behind a shadow clone in his original position, fooling everyone’s sight. His true self rapidly moved away, heading towards the vortex black hole leading to the underwater world.

At the same time, from the Red Sun, a terrifying roar resounded.

"Surface-dwelling human? You will die!"

The Red Sun quaked, and a massive palm descended from the sky.

It was a crimson palm, spanning over ten miles in range and containing an unimaginable level of power. Emerging from the Red Sun, it covered an unknown distance before striking down.

The horrifying power it held even caused the faces of distant demigods to turn pale.

Soon, the palm came crashing down from the sky!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Damn it! Main god, Red Sun, how dare you challenge me? You just wait; I’ll bring down the Red Sun and slaughter the main god!" Waldo cursed loudly, displaying immense arrogance.

Since his real self had already escaped far away, this was just a shadow clone, and he didn’t care about it being destroyed.

"Break it!"

Waldo even roared, directly facing the terrifying palm.

With a deafening rumble, the earth trembled. A massive palm print appeared on the vast and boundless land. In the center of it, there was a pitiful figure, swaying and dressed in tattered clothing, covered in bloodstains.

"Isn’t that the arrogant surface-dwelling human from before? Hahaha, this is perfect! Wasn’t this bastard being incredibly arrogant before, chasing after us and even boasting that he’s not afraid of the main god? Well, look at him now! As soon as the main god acted, he was exposed!"

The laughter of the various demigods filled the air.

"His strength is indeed impressive, but it still can’t compare to the main god. The main god is the most highly evolved being in the world due to years of constant exposure to the Red Sun’s radiant energy. His level of evolution far surpasses ours. While we are also considered gods, the gap between us and the main god is like night and day!"

"Yes, this surface-dwelling human may have a powerful main god, but he’s still no match. He might be arrogant, but one slap from the main god is all it takes. It’s comical!"

"However, we must remain cautious. This surface-dwelling human is full of schemes and deceit. He’s skilled at disguises. If we allow him to escape and deceive us, we’ll be to blame!"

The remaining four demigods nodded in agreement.

They continued to closely watch the forlorn Waldo in the deep pit.

At this moment, deep in the pit, Waldo felt somewhat shocked. The main god’s strength is truly formidable, beyond my capabilities, and even my true form wouldn’t be able to contend with it.

"I only have one ability that’s reached its maximum level. To stand a chance against the main god, I’d need to upgrade one or two more abilities to their maximum level, at least, to have a fighting chance."

"However, it’s not a guarantee. I also have a unique ability, ’Time Stop.’ It’s quite special, and if used during combat, it’s practically invincible. But I haven’t used it, so I’m not sure about its full power."

"This means I might not be weaker than the main god, and I might even be stronger. However, it’s better to be safe and leave. If they break through this ability of mine, I’ll be in real trouble!" Waldo thought to himself.

"To upgrade my other abilities to the maximum level, I’ll need at least a hundred thousand evolution points. I’ve killed many underwater giants during my time here, but I haven’t obtained the evolution points I need. Is there no reward for killing underwater giants, system?" Waldo asked.

"Yes, you’ll receive rewards once you leave the underground," the system replied.

Waldo understood. Meanwhile, his shadow clone, though severely disfigured by a powerful slap, shouted in anger, "Main god, with such meager strength, you think you can take me down? You’re still too green! Show your face, if you dare! You coward, what are you even worth?"

Waldo’s shadow clone cursed hysterically. But as he continued, another palm, filled with boundless might, descended from the heavens. It struck with the force of a comet, causing the very fabric of space to tremble.

The earth itself seemed to wail and plead beneath the impending palm, and the land quaked and groaned.

BOOM!

Waldo’s voice abruptly fell silent, and the earth once again sank. The pit’s depth increased from five meters to eight meters.

"Another round? That’s a peculiar request!" came the coarse chuckle from the Red Sun above.

The voice thundered like a storm, rumbling throughout. Almost every underwater giant could clearly hear it.

However, the mocking laughter from the Red Sun suddenly paused. It was because the main god on the Red Sun had noticed that the surface-dwelling human he had slapped underground was still alive.

"Strange, is his body really this resilient?" the main god from the Red Sun muttered, showing a hint of surprise.

Waldo, who had stubbornly stood up, once again started cursing furiously. "You worthless, spineless creatures! I’m still alive! Even if you kill me, there are thousands of me! You can’t exterminate me! Is this all the strength and tricks you’ve got? Haha! I could just charge up to your Red Sun right now and ransack your lair and steal your women!"

Waldo’s shadow clone shouted arrogantly, despite his current dire situation, looking quite miserable. But it was all a facade. Waldo’s shadow clone was an energy form, and the so-called bloodstains and clothing were all illusions.

Nevertheless, his shadow clone couldn’t hold on for much longer. It would probably disintegrate shortly.

In this limited time, Waldo decided to vent his anger on the main god of the Red Sun by hurling a few more insults, and it worked. The main god on the Red Sun was genuinely getting irritated.
