"No, my vision and Spiritual Sense are both blocked."

An Demon Assessment participant exclaimed.

Following that, the sound of screams could be heard one after another.

"Buzz~!"

Hermes felt a jolt in his sea of consciousness, his Spiritual Sense rippled, and then he felt nothing else unusual.

"Everyone be careful, that blonde strongman is strange!"

A group of mysterious people wearing earth-yellow armor shuttled through the grid-like rooms of the Blocking Castle.

"Ah, a sneak attack!"

"Damn it, why are you attacking me?"

"Pfft pfft pfft~!"

Screams and the clash of weapons were incessant.

Relying on his strength and combat experience, Hermes engaged in fierce battles with the Yellow Armored People who appeared from time to time.

The Yellow Armored People were holding the Blocking Gold Sabers described in the quest item.

Because their dazzling color made them too recognizable.

"Bang~!"

He punched an explosion, obliterating a Yellow Armored Person who had tried to sneak attack him.

He casually tossed the broken body into his Space Ring, planning to sort through it later; he couldn't just swallow everything at once.

The amount of Ink Stones needed to refine Sovereign Power was terrifying, and it wasn't wealth that could be accumulated in a short time.

After killing just one person, Hermes also obtained a Blocking Gold Saber, effectively locking down the Demon Assessment mission in advance.

Then, He no longer rushed to kill the Yellow Armored People but carefully observed the yellow space before him.

"This Yellow Sand Domain is interesting. It seems to be a combined ultimate move cast by a powerful cultivator of the Great Earth Law."

Also cultivating the Great Earth Law, Hermes's Talent had a high upper limit, and his eyesight was naturally sharp.

He saw the key at a glance.

"Earth Element, Gravity Space, and it seems to involve the Earth Walking Technique."

Since it allowed the Yellow Armored People to move freely within the Blocking Castle, the Profound Mystery of the Earth Walking Technique must be involved.

"It's not perfect. The Yellow Sand Domain seems to have quite a few flaws."

Hermes simply stood there, threads of earth-yellow Great Earth Law constantly flashing in his eyes.

He saw the three Profound Mysteries of Law contained within the Yellow Sand Domain at a glance, and at the same time, he could also find the places where their fusion was not smooth.

"Perhaps it could be like this."

In just this moment, Hermes had already gained an initial understanding of the Profound Mystery of the Earth Walking Technique.

He also attempted the possible integration of Gravity Space and the Earth Walking Technique.

Among the two Profound Mysteries of the Great Earth Law he currently mastered, Strength was the first Profound Mystery he comprehended to become a god.

But Gravity Space was actually the one Hermes understood and felt most deeply.

Because of the Golden Space within his body!

Although they were two completely unrelated things, he saw commonalities between them.

This deepened his understanding of the Profound Mystery of Gravity Space.

"If I can completely integrate the 'Profound Mystery of Earth Walking Technique' into my ultimate move 'Mist Shadow Heavy', can my combat rhythm become even faster?"

Thoughts began to arise!

Hermes actually began to try to integrate them.

Anyway, the Profound Mystery of Gravity Space had long been mastered, and the Profound Mystery of Earth Walking Technique had just been newly understood.

Such an action precisely fit the essence of integrating Profound Mysteries of Law.

Don't think that mastering one Profound Mystery is beneficial for integrating Profound Mysteries of Law.

Mastering one Profound Mystery, is like first drawing out a complete thread of law.

Integrating Profound Mysteries is equivalent to condensing another thread of law with the first one drawn into an inseparable organic whole.

It seems like there are more choices, but it's actually not good.

Complete threads of law are complex and contain the Great Dao of the universe. Trying to select suitable parts for integration is actually very difficult.

For integrating Profound Mysteries, it is best to comprehend and integrate at the same time.

Hermes was already impatiently studying the fusion of profound mysteries of laws, even while still in battle.

There was no other way.

Such an opportunity was too rare!

"Damn it, my soul mist can't affect this guy."

The Weird Masked Person, holding the Withered Wood Scepter, roared, "Blocking Knights, hurry up and eliminate these insects! We also have to deal with those Star-level demons!"

"Yes, Gatekeeper Lord!"

Seven or eight burly figures clad in black heavy armor appeared and vanished into the sand and stone walls in an instant.

"Ah~!"

"Help~!"

These must have been the ace combatants of the Blocking Castle. As soon as they appeared, they reaped the lives of several assessors.

Although most were God, since they participated in the Demon Assessment, none of them were easy to deal with.

They either comprehended multiple high-level profound mysteries of laws or had touched the edge of fusing profound mysteries.

While it didn't increase their combat power, it allowed for more varied combat styles and deepened their understanding of the profound mysteries they had already comprehended.

It wasn't as if comprehending one profound mystery meant you had completely mastered it.

Let alone comprehending.

Even Paragon High-Gods who had fused an entire law into one dared not claim to perfectly understand the laws.

Because even among Paragon High-Gods of the same law, their understanding of the profound mysteries of laws could differ, leading to different combat styles.

Some excelled in the material aspect, while others focused on the soul.

The ultimate combat techniques created from complete laws were also not the same.

This was reality!

While there was no absolute hierarchy, there was still a possibility that even Paragon High-Gods couldn't comprehend certain aspects.

"I don't want to die!"

The moment the Blocking Knights attacked, the Demon Assessment participants, who had already suffered heavy casualties, fell silent in an instant.

At this point, only the Blue-Haired Hook-Nosed Man remained beside Freya.

His expression was grim.

"I never expected that a mere Demon Assessment would put me in such a desperate situation. I still have ideals, and I still want to become an unparalleled expert and return to my home plane."

The Blue-Haired Hook-Nosed Man had completely despaired.

What schemes, what alliances, were all bullshit in the face of absolute crushing power!

"Whoosh~!"

Another sturdy figure clad in dark heavy armor appeared, and a long saber suddenly slashed out from the sand and stone wall.

"Pfft~!"

The tip of the saber pierced through Freya's body. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and disbelief flashed in her eyes.

"Weren't they all my shields? How could they use me as a shield?"

"Hahaha, you stinky woman, are you surprised? Did you think we all fancied your beauty?"

The Hook-Nosed Man sneered.

"What are you dreaming about? In the face of absolute power, your beauty is worth nothing."

"Bang~!"

The black-armored shadow struck with a saber.

The moment Freya's Divine Body froze, another punch was thrown. Freya's head instantly exploded.

Her headless corpse was flung away, leaving behind a pool of strangely colored liquid.

The Hook-Nosed Man seized the opportunity to flash away, narrowly dodging this fatal blow.

"Damn it, what were those Star-level demons doing? They actually let these black-armored experts attack us."

Even though he was only a God, the Hook-Nosed Man knew that the heavily armored experts who had suddenly appeared were not someone they could deal with.

They were likely the targets of the Star-level demons who had come this time.

"Wuwuwu~!"

The Hook-Nosed Man wept bitterly. All of this was within Hermes's Spiritual Sense.

"Tsk~! So divine-level life forms also lose control of their bowels when they die?"

This Freya must have been a divine being in her own right; there was no sign of her true self escaping from the sea of souls.
