Chapter 1039: Chapter 720: Breaking the Shadow, Obtaining the Stone of Creation

The Rat Nest, at this moment, had become nothing more than ruins.

Kana deliberately chose the edge of this Rat Nest city as the battlefield, his fierce battle with the Evil Rat had undoubtedly destroyed almost the entire city.

The black spire where the Evil Rat originally resided, from which once surged a dark green beam of light, was still emitting chaotic magic power. However, the situation had now changed.

Even though the hidden altar was shrouded in shadows and the entrance was impossible to find from the real world, the black spire began to shake at this time, and the chaotic magic power it emitted was gradually weakening.

"This is impossible!"

It was not the shadow that let out the sharp cry of confusion, but the Evil Rat standing beside it.

He simply couldn’t understand the situation in front of him.

This black spire had always been the Evil Rat’s backup plan and his absolute reliance to maintain an advantage.

From the moment of his birth, the Evil Rat had been accumulating and perfecting his power at the top of this black spire.

This spire had long since ceased to be merely an altar spewing chaotic magic power but had gradually grown into something that could potentially become an Evil Rat’s divine artifact.

In a sense, it could be called a divine artifact embryo, and if the Evil Rat successfully became a god, this tower could naturally ascend to the status of a divine artifact without any forging process.

The shadow had long laid its power surreptitiously around.

As the Rule Power of an Evil God, once hidden, no one present could find a path to enter.

Even if several other Evil Gods visited this place, they would probably just wander around aimlessly.

Therefore, from beginning to end, the Evil Rat never imagined that this spire used to hold the geographical advantage would be freed from control.

Unless he died, how could such a situation occur?

But now, the control of this spire was indeed lifted, and the Evil Rat had no solution for it.

Because the shadow’s shielding power affected even him, causing him to temporarily lose contact with his divine artifact and unable to exert control.

He was full of confusion, unable to understand why the connection between him, as an Evil God, and his divine artifact was shielded and how Kana managed to achieve this.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Kana launched the first attack.

He suddenly dashed forward, almost appearing instantaneously in front of the two Evil Gods with sheer powerful force that resembled teleportation.

The Blade of Frost in his hand hacked mercilessly towards the shadow.

Faced with such a sharp attack, the shadow instantly dispersed into a mist.

Kana followed up with a flying kick, sending the Evil Rat flying. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The sudden attack caught the Evil Rat completely off guard.

The abnormal flickering of the spire’s beam had already disturbed his mind, and Kana’s sudden melee attack took him entirely by surprise.

Previously, in order to quickly extricate himself from the predicament, he had focused his attention on the puppet and the two giant dragons holding him back, leaving no room to consider the battle situation with the Blood God and Kana.

When the battle on that side ended, he only saw the Blood God vanished, and Kana in poor condition, he naturally classified Kana as a magic system character, not realizing that Kana also possessed a melee capability as strong as the Blood God.

After kicking the Evil Rat away, Kana paid it no mind and immediately redirected his attention to the shadow.

"I can’t let you escape so easily," Kana said, clapping his hands fiercely.

Silvery liquid, glowing with a milky white light, began spreading across the ground, instantly dispersing the shadow wherever the liquid flowed.

The shadow dodged everywhere while its voice spread through the air: "Well played, you have once again predicted my actions, even placing the means of dispelling inside the spire early on."

The shadow quickly understood the reason as soon as the issue arose.

Indeed, when the shadow cast its shielding power, outsiders couldn’t enter.

But if certain existences were sealed inside from the start, naturally, there was no issue.

The shadow hid merely the space inside the spire, preventing outsiders from seeing the hidden content within, while those inside could move freely.

The rats inside the Rat Nest were numerous, with dozens or even hundreds of rats inside and below the spire being completely normal, and these rats were easily sealed in.

But who could have anticipated that a lurking agent would also be sealed in? The shadow and the Evil Rat thought their plan was exceptionally secretive, never expecting Kana to see through and break it.

This further proved Kana’s predictive ability concerning his actions.

"I’d really like to crack open your head to see how you do it," the shadow unabashedly expressed its amazement, continuing to dodge.

Kana gave the opponent no chance to catch a breath.

At this time, the spire’s beam had already begun to flicker erratically, diminishing at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.

The surrounding chaotic magic power faded away at a pace that could be clearly perceived along with the beam’s disappearance.

In such an environment, the shadow could no longer freely exert its power.

Kana pursued unrelentingly, leaving the shadow no time to utilize its power to influence the surroundings, thereby protecting the Round-eared Rat People.

"Boom!" a muffled sound echoed.

The beam completely vanished, and the chaotic magic power began to disintegrate instantly.

The will of the world descended, suppressing the chaotic magic power in this region with its great power.

Suddenly, Kana felt a sense of weakening and destruction emanating from his shoulder and back.

The silvery liquid quickly climbed up, like tubular blood, pierced into the flesh and instantly curbed this adverse trend.

At this point, the Evil Rat rejoined the battle.

"It’s too late now, just leave this world," Kana said, ignoring the Evil Rat’s attack and heavily stomped the ground.

The silver liquid, coated with a layer of milky white gold light, spread outward like waves.

Other powers moved in harmony, instantly shaking the shadow loose.

At this moment, the shadow was almost utterly powerless, with the surrounding environment and everything resisting it.

Simply put, as the chaotic magic power faded, the entire world began rejecting him.

Under such circumstances, even as the Shadow Evil God, it seemed powerless.

"This time... you’ve won," the shadow left those words before disappearing into the air.

A gem fell, instantly swallowed by the silvery liquid.

The most important spoils of war were finally in hand.

Kana turned around, casting his gaze towards the Evil Rat behind him.

"Cowardice and timidity, that is your essence, so you need not make futile resistance any longer."

"Shut up, you hypocritical savior!" the Evil Rat screeched a curse, but it was clearly meaningless.

The cowardice and timidity radiating from the Evil Rat were almost visibly clear.

After all, as the Evil God of the Ratman race, it’s impossible to possess only the merit of a rat and discard its flaws.

Cowardice and timidity were deeply ingrained in the very bones of the Ratman race, merely taking on different forms. Even as an Evil God, shedding this trait was difficult.

At this moment, his various strategies were repeatedly dismantled and broken by Kana.

Under this series of blows, his former advantage gradually vanished, leaving him in a completely adverse position.

Even though his current power was still considerably stronger than Kana’s, the cowardice inside him made it impossible for him to wield his power freely.

"Now, it’s just the two of us left, let’s settle this."
