The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 552 - Objective: Revenge!
Han Wuβs core race had gained the ability to change their race, albeit unpredictably, after obtaining Random Evolution. This meant they only had a minute chance of evolving into an exceptionally powerful race. πππ¦β―πΈπ¦ππππ·β―π.πππ
However, with the Heart Eater Sacred Object set, they now had the option of selecting which race they turned into through consuming a heart from that race. This was infinitely more reliable than Random Evolution.
Equipping the set allowed the effects of the Sacred Objects to affect all members of his core race, and many didnβt hesitate to consume their own hearts on the spot to permanently increase their strength.
Amelia was the first to ascend. Though originally a locust, she had transformed into a War Angel through Random Evolution and had swiftly become an Earthsunder life form. Consuming her heart elevated her into the foremost Heavenrender life form in Han Wuβs core race.
Dark Locust quickly followed suit. The Dark Energy within its body swelled with the consumption of its heart. Gaining full control over this energy similarly allowed it to reach Heavenrender rank.
Many of Han Wuβs units used this chance to increase their strength, bringing him a wave of powerful core race units. Unfortunately, units not of his core race didnβt have this privilege.
Steely, Han Wuβs first strong unit, was somewhat crestfallen at this.
He had been there from the beginning, steadfast as Han Wuβs strongest unit, outpowering even an Ancient Dragon. His growth was nothing short of miraculous. However, he simply couldnβt compete with the benefits that Han Wuβs core race was receiving, regardless of how hard he worked.
Being born into a rich family was truly better than working hard to be rich. Dark Locust and the other members of Han Wuβs core race simply didnβt have to work as hard to become Heavenrender life forms.
His frustration bled through to Han Wu through the strands of faith.
This wasnβt just an isolated feeling either. Other units not of Han Wuβs core race felt the same as well. It was less about envy at the core raceβs growth and more so frustration at themselves for their own slowness. They lamented their inability to be of service to their God.
From an outsiderβs point of view, Steely and the others were actually growing at an unprecedented rate. For a regular Heroic life form to become an Earthsunder life form in just a few years was a feat most other Gods and Major Gods couldnβt have achieved. If they were to hear of Steelyβs frustration, they wouldβve cried at their own incompetence.
Still, Han Wu needed to do something to encourage them. If Steely and the others were motivated to grow stronger, it was his job to try his best to make it happen.
Han Wu racked his brains for a solution.
His fragment of Faidoβs Divine Ring contained the essence of 500 different beasts, each with a sliver of a God Kingβs power within them. This would help an Earthsunder life form tremendously if they absorbed it.
Grabbing the fragment of Faidoβs Divine Ring, Han Wu allowed Steely his pick of the essences within. Han Wu planned to do the same to any other units that had accrued merits during the challenge, though they had to line up after Steely.
After perusing through the selection, Steely chose four: the Gale Eagle, Gale Tiger, Flutterfly, and Tempest Scorpion. Absorbing the essences of these beasts would boost his growth tremendously.
Following Steely were Alpheus, Erebard, Smog, Bakir, Umbral Mouse, and the others. The reward selection ended once all the essence within the Divine Ring had been claimed.
Han Wu waited impatiently, eager to see the outcome of his units absorbing this essence.
Three months passed in a flash.
All of Han Wuβs avatars finally returned. After fusing with them, he broke past the bottleneck of an Earthsunder life form to finally become a Heavenrender life form. This wasnβt a temporary power granted by Replicate; it was his true strength.
Many of his units had also upgraded a rank, giving him a total of six Heavenrender life forms: Dark Locust, Steely, Amelia, Alpheus, Smog, and Umbral Mouse.
Besides that, he also had twenty-six Earthsunder life forms and 200 Sage life forms. He was now a hundred times stronger than before. The sight of his army brought a thrill of exhilaration through his veins.
This newfound strength gave Han Wu the confidence to deal with Faido.
Faido was undoubtedly biding his time to recover and seek revenge. This unpredictable time bomb for both Han Wu and the Blood Coliseum was a threat Han Wu needed to remove before it was too late.
When the management of the Blood Coliseum heard that Han Wu was going to hunt down the Asura Coliseum, they sent their strongest Sanguine Combatants, numbering one Heavenrender-rank, sixty-eight Earthsunder-rank, and 1500 Sage-rank. The remaining Sanguine Combatants were all too weak to participate.
The legion left Han Wu in shock. The Blood Coliseum didnβt have so many powerful Sanguine Combatants before.
Seeing his astonishment, Marks explained that the Blood Coliseum spent all their savings over the past three months to nurture as many Sanguine Combatants as possible. While they hadnβt managed to get another Heavenrender Sanguine Combatant, they did double their number of Earthsunders and even nurtured 1500 Sage Sanguine Combatants from nothing. Han Wu was naturally ecstatic with the results.
βSir, destroy the Asura Coliseum for the sake of the Blood Coliseum!β Marks called out.
Han Wu nodded resolutely. Gaze sweeping across his mighty army, he commanded, βLetβs depart!β
His army moved as one. Their presence alone emitted an aura of power so great that foreboding blood clouds formed above them.
A bloodbath was coming for the Asura Coliseum.
