A Change in Status

"Ahhhhhh..."

Under the powerful pull of gravity, the five Low-level Gods were dragged back to Roy even faster than they had fled.

Then—

"Almighty Push!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Caught between the opposing forces of Universal Attraction and Almighty Push, the five Low-level Gods were instantly reduced to a cloud of blood mist. All of them perished.

With a wave of his hand, Roy collected another five Low-level Divine Sparks.

"Th-this..."

"Lord Roy is so strong!"

Aboard the Metal Life, Kelsen and the four Low-level Gods stared in utter shock.

Just moments ago, they had believed that survival would be difficult this time. Yet with a single move, Roy had dealt with all three Mid-level Gods and five Low-level Gods.

The four Low-level Gods could not help but turn their gazes toward Kelsen.

Both Lord Roy and Lord Kelsen were Mid-level Gods taking the Demon Assessment. Since Lord Roy was so strong, could Lord Kelsen be just as powerful?

Kelsen's face darkened. Did these people even understand what Roy had just displayed?

If he possessed that kind of strength, would he need to painstakingly take the Demon Assessment?

He could casually join any city or Tribe and live far more comfortably than he would as a Demon.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and channel divine power into the Metal Life!"

After saying that, Kelsen hurried forward as well, pouring his divine power into the Metal Life to strengthen its divine power shield.

The battles of High-level Gods were not something Mid-level Gods and Low-level Gods could compare to.

A divine power shield capable of enduring several hours of attacks from Mid-level and Low-level Gods would only withstand a few extra blows before High-level Gods.

After discovering that all their subordinates had died, the Black Wolf Bandits' three High-level God leaders began to flee. However, held back by the two Three-star Demons, they were not moving very quickly.

Roy's body dissolved into a stream of yellow sand. After several flashes, he appeared above the five combatants.

The two Three-star Demons on Roy's side were overjoyed, their attacks immediately becoming even more imposing.

The Black Wolf Bandits' three High-level Gods, meanwhile, were clearly at a disadvantage, each searching for a chance to break through and escape.

Roy held his palms facing one another and condensed a black sphere the size of a fingernail between them.

Then, Roy tossed the tiny black sphere into the sky, pressed his hands together, and shouted, "Chibaku Tensei!"

At once, a powerful gravitational force began dragging the Black Wolf Bandits' three leaders upward.

The three Black Wolf Bandit leaders were horrified. Divine power erupted from their bodies, and every Divine Artifact on them shone with divine light as they tried to break free from Chibaku Tensei's pull.

Unfortunately for them, Roy's Chibaku Tensei had completely fused Earth Element and Gravity Space. Furthermore, Life Force had also been more than half fused into it.

It could be said that this was Roy's strongest move at present. Even a Four-star Devil could only obediently be sealed beneath this technique.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Endless Earth Element surrounded the three High-level Gods. Drawn by Gravity Space's powerful pull, they flew toward the black dot in the sky.

The three High-level Gods unleashed their ultimate techniques, dispersing the Earth Element around them and forcing back the pull of Gravity Space. Yet under the effects of Life Force's Profound Mysteries of Laws, they were soon bound again.

More than ten seconds later, the three High-level Gods were sucked into the air. Endless Earth Element surged toward the black dot, quickly forming a massive earth-yellow sphere a thousand meters in diameter.

"It's over!"

Roy released his clasped hands. Without the support of his divine power, the yellow sphere in the sky immediately fell toward the ground.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar rang out as the yellow sphere created by Chibaku Tensei smashed a massive crater into the ground. Layer upon layer of shockwaves churned the surrounding earth like ocean waves.

Trees and huge boulders were crushed apart amid the tide of soil.

Several minutes later, the destruction caused by the sphere gradually subsided.

At this moment, the two Three-star Demons approached Roy. The one with earth-yellow hair extended his hand to Roy. "Hello, I'm Yabo. This is Jody. We're friends from the same Tribe, and we're both Three-star Demons."

"Greetings. I'm Roy, from Sanhe City."

Roy smiled and returned their friendly gesture.

"Haha, I can tell. A genius like you could only come from one of the great families in a city."

Indeed, in Hell, strength was supreme. The strong would not easily reveal their cultivation secrets to others. For those of the Lower Class, merely staying alive already required every ounce of their effort. They only wanted to reach the Saint Domain and become Gods as soon as possible. Otherwise, they might be sold off at any time to a God-level expert specializing in souls and have their souls stripped away.

Only members of great families in cities, who did not need to struggle for survival, had the time to slowly comprehend and fuse Laws, then use their greater strength to protect and support their families in return.

Roy merely smiled and did not refute him.

Having a powerful name behind him could dispel some people's malicious thoughts and save him a great deal of trouble.

"What a powerful technique."

The three looked at the enormous sphere beneath them, and Yabo could not help but sigh.

Although those three High-level Gods had been weaker than Yabo and Jody, the difference had not been great.

Since Roy's move could seal them, if he had targeted the two of them instead, they naturally would not have escaped disaster either.

"What happened to those three?"

"My technique will continuously draw upon their divine power to reinforce the seal. Once the speed at which they recover divine power can no longer keep up with the rate of extraction, it will begin drawing their life and souls."

"If nothing unexpected happens, within a thousand years, only three Divine Sparks will remain."

"How ruthless!"

Upon hearing Roy's explanation, the way Yabo and Jody looked at him changed somewhat.

"With Roy's help, our mission this time is secure."

After chatting and laughing with Yabo and Jody as they entered the Metal Life, the three were greeted by the reverent gazes of Kelsen and the other four.

This was the rule of survival in Hell.

When facing the strong, it was best to maintain sufficient reverence.

Otherwise, if a powerful person killed you on a whim, no one would dare seek justice for you.

Yabo did not even glance at the five of them before speaking directly. "Kelsen, you'll be responsible for the Metal Life for the rest of the journey."

"Do not disturb us unless something happens."

"Yes, please rest assured, my lords."

Kelsen looked as though he was just short of pounding his chest in assurance.

After Roy nodded to the five of them, he entered a room together with Yabo and Jody.

After revealing his strength, Roy's status aboard this Metal Life had risen to the same level as the two Three-star Demons.

Not only the four Low-level Gods, but even Kelsen bowed and addressed Roy as lord whenever he saw him.

Throughout the journey, aside from leaving his room to fight whenever they encountered bandits, Roy spent all his remaining time immersed in comprehending and fusing Laws.
