Fusion of Three Mysteries

"A woman from a Material Plane."

Linley wore a look of interest, never one to wrong himself when it came to enjoyment, and asked with a smile, "Is there anyone on Diana's level?"

He completely avoided any thought of avoiding Durandal. After all, who present did not know of this relationship? A thousand years had already passed, so there was no need to be secretive and coy.

Thomas shook his head regretfully and said candidly, "Not that kind."

Linley was unimpressed, and so the topic ended there.

When Thomas and the others returned, Linley separated out two of his Divine Avatars to continue cultivating while his Sanctuary True Body entered the bedroom, only to see a golden-haired noblewoman with an exquisitely beautiful appearance sitting upright in front of the dressing table.

"Milord."

Diana saw Linley in the mirror and hurriedly stood up to welcome him, her smiles as brilliant as blooming flowers.

Linley sat down on the edge of the bed, beckoned to her, pulled her straight into his arms, and said with a half-smile, "Why didn't you come out earlier?"

With Linley achieving godhood in the Destruction Rule amidst such a massive commotion, it was impossible for Diana, who lived inside the castle, not to know.

Diana tucked a wisp of fine hair behind her ear and said with a calm expression, "I knew Durandal would come to visit Milord, and to avoid any awkwardness, I figured it would be better to keep out of the way."

"Mhm."

Linley understood as well. Abandoning a husband and son to throw oneself into the embrace of another man out of a worship of strength was indeed not a glorious thing, but it was extremely commonplace amongst women in Hell. Once the timeline of living a precarious and trembling existence was stretched out, so-called love became cheap and laughable.

Diana wore a sweet smile and said softly, "Congratulations, Milord, on achieving godhood in the Destruction Rule!"

Linley's excellence made her infatuated, and she was extremely satisfied with her original choice; such a man had a boundless future.

"Ten years from now, I'm going to Red Stone City... The few of you stay put at home and behave."

As Linley spoke, he rolled over and pinned her down, removing armor, removing armor, and removing armor once again...

After the storm passed.

Diana snuggled in Linley's arms, deeply feeling his intense masculine aura, her pretty face somewhat intoxicated, and said with lingering reluctance, "Milord has one more Divine Avatar now; when you have time, can you accompany me a bit more?"

Over the past thousand years, Linley frequently went into closed-door cultivation for a few months or a few years, with his Sanctuary True Body and Lightning Divine Avatar taking turns enjoying the service of Diana and the four maids, yet not a single woman had ever fallen pregnant.

Without children to act as a bloodline and emotional bond, Diana knew she would forever remain nothing more than a fickle, dispensable plaything—especially as Linley's strength grew stronger and stronger, and the number of women he could come into contact with and possess in the future would only increase. This made her increasingly anxious, and she desperately wanted to conceive a child.

"We'll see."

Linley would not make her any promises, casually brushing her off. Once finished, he put on his clothes and left without looking back, immediately proceeding to have a round of intimate exchanges with the four maids as well before finally beginning a new round of closed-door cultivation feeling refreshed and satisfied, each time lasting anywhere from a dozen days for a short retreat to a year or two for relaxation and enjoyment. Such a life was very stable.

Time flew, and seven years passed.

"Finally succeeded!!"

On this day, the magic array inside the castle used to assist in cultivation suddenly erupted with intense thunder and lightning. Linley laughed up to the sky, his demeanor carefree and his face blooming with an excited smile.

The Lightning Element, Lightning Speed, and Electromagnetic Space—these three mysteries had thoroughly fused to perfection! Linley's strength surged tenfold! And this was merely the theoretical baseline; in reality, the amplification of combat power by advanced mysteries was far greater than that of low-level mysteries!

Now, even if he encountered a Mid-level God who had fused two low-level mysteries, Linley would be confident in fighting them by relying on the amplification of Magnetic Field Power!

He came outside the castle to demonstrate...

The commotion caused here was quite large, attracting Thomas and the others. Feeling Linley's powerful aura, which made them feel suffocated, their expressions turned extremely wonderful one by one.

"What, you've already completely fused three mysteries?!"

Linley was in a great mood and had no intention of concealing this news.

"The Overgods above."

Dennis exclaimed with an exaggerated look, saying, "Once Linley you become a Mid-level God—no, a Mid-level... once you become an Upper God, wouldn't you be guaranteed to be a Six-star Demon!"

Donald and the others were all dumbfounded. They were well aware that Linley's innate potential was enormous; as long as he didn't fall halfway, becoming a Six-star Demon was just a matter of time, yet they never expected Linley's growth speed to be this fast!

Fusing mysteries was far, far more difficult than comprehending them!

Given Linley's talent, no one doubted that he could become an Upper God in a short period of time, as long as he was willing!

Linley nodded with a smile, admitting, "You could say that."

Thomas and the others did not know about the amplification of Magnetic Field Power, so thinking this way was entirely reasonable.

Judging from past experience, Linley anticipated that once he became an Upper God, Magnetic Field Power would usher in yet another qualitative change. Even if he maintained the status quo and only fused three mysteries, his strength would be sufficient to rival a Seven-star Demon!

Three years flashed by in a blink.

Linley, Thomas, and Corey set off for Red Stone City. Lacking a metal life, they could only fly on their own.

An Upper God's Spiritual Sense scouting range was only about a thousand meters; this bit of coverage was as negligible as a drop of water in the ocean to Hell, and most of the time it was still inferior to just using one's eyes. At times like this, certain races with exceptional vision were much more useful.

Within a valley shaded by green trees.

Standing on a leafy tree branch was a young man with golden hair that curved up like wings behind him. His amber eyes were as sharp as a falcon's, able to clearly see the textures of tree leaves tens of thousands of meters away.

"Hm, prey has arrived. Three god-level individuals; this flying speed should be Mid-level Gods."

The young man instantly perked up, leaping from his position and quickly reaching the base of the tree. He passed through a subterranean cave passage to enter a concealed castle, his Spiritual Sense covering a stout man with short golden hair to report.

"Big brother, there's a situation..."

The stout man, currently in the middle of cultivation, abruptly opened his eyes. They were sharp and fierce, and he grinned broadly, laughing, "Of course we can't miss this! These are three Mid-level Godheads; they're worth our brothers taking a risk!"

No sooner said than done, dozens of god-level figures streaked out from the forest like black dots.

"An ambush!"

The path of Linley and his two companions was blocked.

Thomas and Corey wore solemn expressions; a rough sense indicated that there were four Mid-level Gods on the opposite side, and although the remaining dozens were all Low-level Gods, this numerical advantage could not be underestimated.

Linley's expression remained calm and unruffled, feeling no particular surprise. His Magnetic Field Power had long since captured a ripple of killing intent transmitting from afar, and he had already prepared himself mentally beforehand.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Linley sent a voice transmission to Thomas and Corey.

In reality, he didn't delay for even a single second!

His figure flashed with brilliant lightning as he charged forward rapidly, showing no intention of stopping to negotiate!

The long saber in his hand was raised, wreathed in boundless lightning. The scorching, explosive energy made souls tremble, and he slashed down carrying an unstoppable, crushing momentum!

"So fast!"

Seeing this, the leading short-haired golden stout man felt a shred of regret abruptly rise in his heart, realizing that his luck was poor today and he had run into a genuine expert. With no other choice, he had to go all out and fight for his life.

"Screee!"

"Roar!"

"Awoo!"

These four Mid-level Gods were all Divine Beasts!

At the juncture of life and death, they erupted with their innate divine abilities: two Golden Eagles, a Flame Lion, and a Silver Wolf respectively.
