Wodema was scared witless.
He abandoned his Believers and fled in a panic.
Wodema's move had been so abrupt that surely no one had expected it.
Yet Ye Yu had been keeping his eye on Wodema the whole time.
When he saw Wodema turn and run, he let out a cold laugh.
"Trying to run?"
"Did you ask me first?"
As his voice fell, Ye Yu moved, raised his arm, and threw a punch with all his might!
Rumble!
In an instant, a tremendous boom rang through the void.
It sounded just like the thunderous roar of an airplane engine at takeoff—an astonishing, terrifying noise!
The players fighting the giant bats were all startled.
They instinctively looked up at the sky.
They saw Ye Yu hurtling toward the fleeing Wodema like a cannonball, with unstoppable force.
Amid a resounding boom, Ye Yu's fist struck Wodema.
For a moment, time seemed to stop.
Ye Yu and Wodema hung motionless in midair, the scene frozen in place.
About a second later, a sharp crack rang out.
Wodema's body abruptly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which gradually dissipated into the world.
Ye Yu drew back his fist, clasped his hands behind his back, and floated in the air.
His expression was calm, his gaze sweeping over the blood mist as it began to fade.
"No matter how astounding your talent or how noble your bloodline, in my eyes, you're still nothing more than one Collapsing Fist!"
As his voice fell, the players were stunned for a moment.
Then they burst into earth-shaking cheers.
"Make way, Brother Yu's showing off!"
"Hahaha, I love watching Brother Yu show off!"
"666! Whenever things get critical, Brother Yu always shows up to show off!"
"I don't respect anyone else. Only Brother Yu!"
"That's right! Brother Yu shows off so naturally, without even trying. I, Patrick Star, hereby proclaim Brother Yu the Fifth King of Show-Offs!"
"Fifth King of Show-Offs? So there are other Kings of Show-Offs?"
"Bro, you're out of the loop. Haven't you heard of the Four Great Kings of Show-Offs: Dongbei Xuan, West Zhang Xuan, South Qi Ye, and North Xu Que? From now on, we'll have to add our Brother Yu to the list!"
The players were quite fond of Ye Yu, their "NPC."
Their talk of showing off was just their way of teasing him.
Wodema's death sent the players' morale soaring, and they swarmed toward the Blood Bat Race's Believers.
The remaining Blood Bat Race Believers had already completely fallen apart after their Ancestor God died.
How could they stand against the players, who were as fierce as wolves and tigers?
In just a short while, the players slaughtered every last Blood Bat Race Believer.
Giant bat corpses lay scattered everywhere across the ground.
Thus, this Divine War ended in a complete victory for Ye Yu.
Watching the scene unfold, Ye Yu couldn't help but reflect as he floated in the void.
This Divine War had been far easier than he'd imagined.
Even Wodema had been pitifully weak before him!
He hadn't even managed to withstand a single punch before suffering Divine Fall.
"Congratulations to the players of the Yanhuang camp! Your bravery has driven back the invaders from America, led by Wodema!"
"You have won this Nation War! Rejoice, Yanhuang Players!"
The moment the announcement sounded, all the players raised their arms and cheered.
They, the Yanhuang Players, had won this trial run of a Nation War!
"Nation Wars are damn awesome!"
"Yeah, especially since this game is 100% immersive. It's just a shame this Nation War was a little small-scale!"
"Didn't the announcement say it was a trial run? The real Nation War hasn't even opened yet!"
"I think we should be satisfied. Let's look forward to the Nation War rewards, hahaha!"
"Same here!"
The players were thrilled, chattering excitedly among themselves.
Ye Yu shook his head as he floated in the void.
Ignoring the excited players, he looked at the blood mist, which had almost completely dissipated.
He could now clearly see the crystal-like Divine Spark.
"Once I devour Wodema's Divine Spark, my Divine Domain will be nearly as vast as it can get for a New God!"
"For the next little while, it's time to keep improving the Immortal Path and boost the players' strength."
"The players are still a little weak. I can't keep stepping in personally every time there's a Divine War!"
After a moment's thought, Ye Yu made a rough plan for the coming days.
Just then, Wodema's Divine Spark spun around in the void.
Then it shot toward Ye Yu.
When the Divine Spark entered Ye Yu's body,
his head suddenly rang with a booming sound, as if a bell had tolled.
The next moment, he clearly saw Wodema's Divine Domain, over a thousand square kilometers in size, merging with his own.
"Let's see what I gained this time!"
After the Divine Spark finished merging, Ye Yu thought to himself.
His character panel appeared before him in an instant.
He skimmed past the irrelevant information.
His gaze fell on the Divine Spark and Divine Domain entries.
[Divine Spark]: Demigod Spark (Excellent, Extremely Powerful)
"This time, my Divine Spark improved by a lot!"
Ye Yu was slightly stunned as he looked at the Divine Spark entry.
The last time, after he devoured Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark,
his Divine Spark had gone from Ordinary to Ordinary.
But after devouring Wodema's Divine Spark this time, it had become Excellent Powerful!
Not only had the Divine Spark's base rank jumped from Ordinary to Excellent,
its suffix had also leaped to Extremely Powerful.
This meant that Ye Yu's Divine Domain had improved greatly in terms of resources and other aspects.
Thinking this, Ye Yu swept his Divine Sense across his entire Divine Domain.
He found that his Divine Domain had indeed changed dramatically.
The increase in its area was expected.
What surprised him was that within the Divine Domain, now more than two thousand square kilometers in size, he found several wild creature populations!
There were even quite a few rare metal deposits and the like!
"What a pleasant surprise!"
Ye Yu withdrew his Divine Sense, overjoyed.
His gaze returned to the character panel.
[Divine Domain]: 2085 square kilometers
After Ye Yu advanced to Three-star Demigod, his Divine Domain had reached 1,015 square kilometers.
After Wodema devoured Zhang Dongyang's Divine Spark, his Divine Domain had also grown to 1,000 square kilometers.
Then Wodema advanced to One-star Demigod, gaining an additional 70 square kilometers of Divine Domain.
So Ye Yu's Divine Domain now covered 2,085 square kilometers. The numbers added up perfectly.
"The system really is incredible!"
"Take an ordinary deity who follows the path of hunting others and devouring their Divine Sparks!"
"They'd suffer some losses when merging Divine Sparks, one way or another!"
"But every time I do it, the merge is perfect. I don't waste a single bit!"
Ye Yu couldn't help but marvel to himself.
Being a Hacker really was better than having any amount of talent!
"Next comes the most exciting part!"
Ye Yu took a deep breath and looked toward the Contribution points entry.
When he saw how many Contribution points he had now, he was still stunned, despite having been mentally prepared!
"Wodema really was a fat sheep!"
"He was much richer than Ma Baoguo!"
