The border of the Jade Realm.

A Material Plane World hidden in a corner of the Star Realm.

WHOOSH...

Suddenly, an eerie gale swept across the entire World, and a Black Mist of Death immediately surged forward like a tidal wave.

As the eerie gale carried the Black Mist and swept through an Extraordinary City-State,

the once bustling city-state’s countless pious Believers died one after another.

In just a short while, the entire city-state met its doom.

And with the destruction of this city-state, a great number of city-states, and then the entire nation—even the entire World—swiftly faced its apocalypse in the face of the Evil God Calamity.

"Damn that Evil God!"

The next moment, an enraged projection descended.

It was the furious projection of the Middle Rank God of Light, whose Believer’s World was being destroyed.

The instant it descended,

BOOM—

a terrifying bolt of disaster lightning, long since settled in the ancient river of time, struck out violently.

TSSSSS...

The ancient disaster lightning transformed into countless eerie electrical currents, instantly seeping into the body of Beckman, the Middle Rank God of Light.

He was about to try and withstand the power of the disaster lightning,

but its terrifying force tore his Divine Will projection to shreds on the spot.

...

In a distant Divine Kingdom.

Beneath the towering Tree of the Magic Ring,

an illusory shadow of Light Divine Power twisted and writhed behind the body of Beckman, the Middle Rank God of Light whose projection had just been destroyed.

His body sizzled.

His Divine Will projection had been destroyed, and his true body had suffered a degree of backlash.

"This..."

Beckman was both shocked and enraged as he recalled the scene of his projection being annihilated by an Ancient God Curse.

There were three Believer’s Worlds there, one of the most important sources of his Faith.

He could not possibly ignore them.

After his Light Magic Ring and Divine Power had stabilized,

he sent his projection out once more.

This time, he was prepared.

Even so, the moment he descended,

RUMBLE...

a giant black palm slammed down violently.

Roaring repeatedly, Beckman, the Middle Rank God of Light, immediately cast a Divine Power Forbidden Curse to fight back.

However, facing the well-prepared Evil God,

he only lasted for a moment before that terrifying Ancient God’s Hand crushed his body.

"Damn bastard!"

His projection destroyed once again, Beckman’s will returned to his body, and he roared with rage in the grand hall.

His Divine Power surged with the heat of the Sun, engulfing the entire hall in scorching hot flames.

’That last place was too close to that damned Evil God.’

’This time, I’ll project farther away. I’ll prepare my Ancient God Curse first, then approach.’

’That way, I can effectively stop that guy from destroying my Worlds.’

He took a deep breath, calming his furious emotions.

"Those damned Evil Gods from the Calamity Court! They can’t win on the main battlefield, so they resort to these insidious methods to launch surprise attacks on our Divine Kingdoms. Damned rats!"

Soon, Beckman, the Middle Rank God of Light, once again stabilized his Divine Power and his Light Rune Magic Ring.

This time, he chose to project to a coordinate a considerable distance away.

This way, he would have ample time to prepare his Ancient God Secret Technique.

Now fully prepared to teach that damned Evil God a lesson, Beckman, the Middle Rank God of Light, projected himself once more.

However!

The moment he projected this time,

he saw that the region he had appeared in was already completely dominated by an Insect King Curse that occupied the entire Star Realm Sky Curtain.

The Eating Phase·Insect King Curse!

He had clashed with this ancient Divine Curse from the Calamity Court Magic Ring many times over the long years of conflict.

He knew all too well just how terrifying this Ancient God Curse was.

And now, his arrival was like willingly walking into a trap to be devoured.

He had materialized completely within the attack range of the Eating Phase·Insect King Curse.

’How is that guy’s attack range... so vast?’

As the Insect King Curse’s attack descended,

this thought couldn’t help but surface in the mind of Beckman, the Middle Rank God of Light.

KRAK!

As the Eating Phase Insect King Curse chewed and swallowed the projection of the Middle Rank God of Light,

Zorn completed his triple kill on the Middle Rank Divine Spirit’s projection.

Zorn slowly composed himself.

On one hand, he used the Cosmic Time Magic Net to carefully sense any potential new projections from the Middle Rank God of Light.

On the other, he carefully studied the Divine Artifact: Sikes’ Magic Wand in his hand.

Over the past three months,

Zorn had gradually built parts of the framework for several Ancient God Curses—such as Evil God Calamity and Ritual Fire—into Sikes’ Magic Wand.

The various techniques he had used in the battle just now were all unleashed through Sikes’ Magic Wand.

The results were even better than Zorn had expected.

’Next, I’ll kill a few more Divine Spirits and use the Ritual Fire to refine them. That will continuously increase the number of Magic Rings on my Divine Artifact, allowing it to gradually evolve into a Middle Rank Divine Artifact, and then even an Upper Rank Divine Artifact.’

’After all... this Ritual Fire is the perfect catalyst for upgrading a Divine Artifact.’

’And it’s my own Unique Secret Technique.’

Now that his strength had reached Level 24, making him a Legendary Demigod, Zorn’s efficiency at the Destruction of the World had also increased dramatically.

With no interference from that Divine Spirit,

Zorn successfully destroyed the three Worlds in about three days.

Afterward, Zorn’s projected will swiftly returned.

...

「Black Star Divine Kingdom, Steam Magical Castle.」

His will having returned, Zorn looked outside.

He saw that the entire Black Star Divine Kingdom now held the auras of a considerable number of Middle Rank Gods—over a hundred of them.

The number of Lower Rank Gods was even greater, reaching five to six hundred.
