Chương 117: The End of the Battle

Philias was also confused. What was going on with this guy who had been bothering him?

Is there some kind of powerful figure behind this?

How come there's nothing but a high-level divine artifact longsword? Even the material defense artifact is a mid-level divine artifact?

Moreover, this guy's realm does seem to be that of a mid-level god, but why does the divine power he uses always seem a bit strange?

And what's going on with his spiritual power level? How could a mere mid-level god withstand his soul attack without suffering any damage?

Could this guy be some kind of divine beast in human form? Or perhaps some special race?

Is his innate ability to evade his perception of space?

Anyway, I always felt that this guy was weird, not like a proper god.

Could this guy be a self-taught genius? Did he accidentally discover the profound mysteries of the Law of Fusion and embark on the path of fusing the profound mysteries of the Law of Fusion?

Thinking about it this way, Philias became more and more convinced that this must be the case.

So, he still has a fighting chance. Although this guy is strong enough not to be a mid-level god, he is not without a chance if he fights desperately.

The thought that this guy didn't have an old monster behind him gave him more confidence.

Putting everything else aside, escaping shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Despite the sharpness of the attacks from this guy, Philias was certain that this guy was completely afraid to take his attacks head-on.

As a mid-level god who didn't even have a high-level defensive artifact, he simply couldn't withstand his own attacks.

With just one strike, I could at least severely injure him, or even kill him outright.

Compared to his attacks, his defenses are as fragile as paper.

So, even though both of his divine avatars are currently being suppressed by Richard, he believes he still has a chance.

Unfortunately, the analysis was correct; Richard couldn't withstand his attacks, but he also needed to land the hits.

With his mastery of the laws of space and time, he had already seized the initiative, able to fight or leave at will.

He even used the Rinne Sharingan's nine-tomoe eye technique to amplify his spacetime abilities.

By now, the boost that the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan provides to him has decreased considerably.

Some time ago, when the Tree of Life martial soul condensed into the God of Creation position, the chakra in his body had already been transformed into divine power.

His body was also strengthened, and even his Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe was significantly improved.

Even its basic appearance has changed. When it uses the Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe now, it no longer has the same appearance of nine black tomoe in its blood-red pupils as before.

Instead, their pupils turned into a brilliant gold, just like the golden vertical pupils that originally adorned their foreheads.

Perhaps it should no longer be called the Nine-Tomoe Sharingan, but rather the Eye of God.

But even with this upgraded Eye of God, the boost to his strength wasn't as significant as before.

Ultimately, the Divine Tree of the Ninja World is far too weak compared to his current strength, so the power generated by the Divine Tree's fruit is somewhat unable to keep up with his strength.

He even considered taking some time to visit the ninja world again, to find the Otsutsuki clan in the starry sky, and ask if there were any higher-level divine trees so that the Tree of Life could continue to devour them.

Speaking of which, after the Tree of Life devoured the Divine Tree, Richard had the Tree of Life, which had gained the ability to nurture the Divine Tree's fruit, begin to nurture new Divine Tree fruits, wanting to see how different the fruits nurtured by the Tree of Life were from the original Divine Tree fruits.

However, this is only the beginning. Even though several divine avatars take time to infuse divine power into it, the life god avatar is currently staying in the small world without leaving it, and it is still a long way from bearing fruit.

After Richard took precautions, Philias wouldn't be able to touch him.

"No, I won't let you get away with this." After Richard's wind-elemental god clone suddenly appeared and unexpectedly attacked Philias's life-elemental god clone, Philias knew that he was doomed this time.

His attacks became increasingly frenzied, even resorting to offense without any defense, targeting Richard's wind-elemental divine clone.

Even if you can't kill Richard, you must kill one of his divine clones.

Richard's wind-elemental divine clone quickly teleported away, no longer staying in the same spot.

Wasn't the reason for not revealing the divine clone in the first place to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack?

Now that they've succeeded, they should make their escape as quickly as possible.

The wind-elemental god's clone quickly created distance. Then, it drew its longbow and fired an arrow at Philias.

Hehe, kite-style moves are so much fun.

It's even better if there's a shield in the front row to hold off the opponent; he can just shoot mindlessly.

Philias was incredibly annoyed, having to deal with the sudden sword light from the guy not far away while also watching out for arrows shooting from who-knows-where.

This guy is like a flea; I don't go near him at all, and neither of my two divine incarnations are like that.

Before long, Philias was caught off guard and suffered several more wounds.

His physical defense artifacts had already been destroyed, and he didn't even have a chance to replace them with new ones.

Richard kept a close eye on him, determined not to give him another chance. In his eyes, those were all his future assets; he couldn't let Philias waste them.

"Fine, fine, since you don't want me to live, then let's die together." Philias grinned maliciously.

He fully contracted all his divine power.

Richard's pupils contracted as he realized what the guy was up to. He teleported away at top speed.

Then came a deafening explosion.

The area spanning hundreds of thousands of miles was affected, and a small continent closest to this place was instantly flattened.

A black fissure several kilometers long appeared at the very center of the explosion.

Richard teleported to a short distance away and could see the irregular spatial turbulence behind him through the crack.

Philias's body was completely destroyed, with only his divine essence drifting away in the spatial turbulence. Richard quickly used his spatial abilities to retrieve it.

This is a huge loss. Philias's spatial ring has been destroyed by the explosion, and all the items inside have fallen into the spatial turbulence.

Most items were completely destroyed the moment they fell in.

The few items that could withstand the erosion were slowly drifting away.

Richard was quick-witted and agile; hurry up and grab as much as you can.

Artifacts and divine status. Basically, only these two things remain undestroyed.

Besides that, there was another tree-like thing that hadn't been destroyed, and Richard quickly retrieved it.

Anything that hasn't been destroyed by the spatial turbulence is no ordinary thing.

The artifacts that were not destroyed were mostly high-level artifacts. As for those below the high-level artifact level, they could not withstand the spatial turbulence and would be destroyed instantly.

Some of the higher-level artifacts have already been damaged; if we had been any slower, they would probably all have been lost.

As for the divine essence, it is indeed hard, much harder than a high-level divine artifact.

Moreover, the hardness of all divine cores is the same; even lower-level divine cores are as hard as higher-level divine cores.

Divine weapons forged from divine essence are no less durable than even the main divine artifacts.

Of course, it's not easy, in fact, difficult, to forge something so hard into a weapon; even the main god can't do it.

Only the God-Slaying Rat clan, with their formidable talent, could digest the divine essence and accomplish such a monstrous feat.

But there are only two god-killing rats in the entire world's eleven divine planes and countless material planes.

After rushing around as fast as he could, Richard finally managed to retrieve everything that had fallen into the spatial turbulence, leaving him exhausted.

Retrieving something from spatial turbulence is no easy task; if he weren't a master of spatial manipulation, he wouldn't even be able to dream of it.

Even so, due to the interference of spatial turbulence, it took him a tremendous amount of effort to use his spatial abilities to move the items out, a thousand times or even ten thousand times more effort than in the Tara plane.

The amount of divine power consumed was enormous.

If these weren't high-value items worth the effort, he would have quit long ago.

He cursed Philias countless times in his heart. This guy is such a sore loser. Can't he just die peacefully?

How much more work did this add to his workload?

Forget it, he won't argue with a dead man.

Only the supreme god can move freely in spatial turbulence. A great god at the Great Perfection level can survive in spatial turbulence, but if they fall into it, they cannot get out on their own and need the supreme god to rescue them.

Stronger higher-level gods can survive in spatial turbulence for a short time, but they will die eventually.

As for those below the higher gods, they disappeared as soon as they came into contact with the spatial turbulence.

Just like Richard right now, if he really dared to go into the spatial turbulence, he would be gone as soon as he got there.

Despite rushing around, we managed to salvage everything before the spatial rift closed.

Richard turned and left.

Although Philias self-destructed his main battle clone, significantly reducing the value of his spoils.

However, when the wind god clone attacked his life god clone before, it also seized the space ring. Although the wealth inside is definitely not as much as that on the main battle clone, it is still worth looking forward to.

I need to take a good look at everything when I get back.

After Richard and Philias's battle subsided, the few god-level powerhouses who hadn't yet left breathed a sigh of relief. They then became anxious again, though it was highly likely the battle was over and they no longer needed to worry about being caught in the crossfire.

But we also need to think about the future. Who won? If Philias loses, what will become of them?

Even if Philias wins, their lives won't necessarily be easier.

Even Karina was not at peace. Although she chose to believe Richard, she guessed that the unknown powerful figure had most likely won. But what if Richard was lying to her? What if he didn't have such a high status?

For a moment, several god-level powerhouses were filled with countless thoughts. They made preparations and waited anxiously for the victor's divine sense transmission.

But ten minutes passed and there was still no movement.

An hour passed, and there was still no movement.

A day has passed— One month — One year — Well, it seems they've hit the best-case scenario, or the victor isn't planning on ruling the entire Tara plane.

Either this person is too badly injured to attend to them, or they are too busy healing. A darker thought crossed my mind: perhaps these two perished together?

In any case, no higher-ranking gods have shown themselves since then.

Olissis, the King of Warcraft, and the First Pope of Light waited for a while, but no one sent them a telepathic message.

They tried to fly towards the Arctic ice fields, making it seem like they were heading to a divine realm.

In reality, she was mentally prepared to be stopped.

But once they all sat on the teleportation array to the divine plane, no one showed up to stop them.

And so they let the three of them leave.
