Becoming a God through the Death Rule

Alex panted, casting a glance at the massive corpse on the ground before sneering, "Hmph, divine beasts are truly blessed by the heavens. This innate divine ability is indeed formidable. Combined with your savage physical attacks, even after I used a Sovereign's Power, I was still left in such a sorry state. But you still had to die."

In truth, Alex had not intended to use a Sovereign's Power for this battle; after all, such items were meant for life-saving. He had originally planned to let those fiends exhaust the three of them, then finish them off one by one through skirmishing. He hadn't expected their strength to exceed his expectations, leading them to wipe out all the fiends directly.

Furthermore, those three fellows had unleashed their innate divine abilities the moment they started, especially the Jade Cold Toad, whose innate ability had frozen the very space around him. Alex had no choice but to use a drop of Sovereign's Power to break the deadlock.

Moreover, Adam's beast-like fighting style afterward had truly left him exhausted. Fighting someone who disregarded their own life was always an arduous task, and the Sovereign's Power on Alex had already completely dissipated.

Alex killed the three of them and immediately gathered their Space Rings into his hands. Looking at the three rings, he couldn't help but wear a face full of excited smiles, "Haha, with the wealth of you three, I can refine a new drop of Sovereign's Power again."

A drop of blood fell onto the Space Ring, and he had just invaded the ring with his divine sense. This was truly the moment when Alex's mind was most relaxed, as there were no longer any powerhouses nearby capable of threatening him.

Yet at this very moment, a strange, dazzling cyan-green light streaked across, accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound. A crack was sliced into space itself, and a bloodstain instantly appeared across Alex's throat.

Following that, Alex's head was sucked into the spatial rift. Alex's strongest Earth Element God Clone was destroyed.

Then, an Alex in a fire-red robe emerged from the Earth God Clone; this was precisely Alex's other High-God Fire Element clone.

Alex's expression changed, "Hodan? You aren't dead yet?"

Dark gray energy flames appeared on Alex's Fire Element God Clone; clearly, Alex had used a Sovereign's Power again. Then, Alex turned and prepared to flee the area.

But it was obvious that this Fire Element God Clone of Alex was merely an ordinary High-God. Even with the use of a Sovereign's Power, he had barely reached the level of a Six-Star Fiend.

Moreover, Hodan had long been guarding against the possibility of Alex having another God Clone. Hodan had no intention of answering Alex's words, and immediately, Zhengdu pierced through the head of Alex's other God Clone, completely annihilating him.

"No—" Alex let out a final cry of unwillingness. He was filled with hatred. Alex's eyes suddenly bulged wide; he didn't even have time to feel regret or remorse before he crashed to the ground.

"Refining Sovereign's Power?" Hodan muttered, having heard what Alex said earlier. He was confused for a moment; Hodan did not believe that Alex could refine Sovereign's Power himself. One had to know that those in Hell capable of refining Sovereign's Power were all peak powerhouses, and there was no one named Alex among those peak powerhouses.

He looked around at the corpses of the several Six and Seven-Star Fiends and shook his head with a sigh. These people were the tiny fraction of the pinnacle in Hell, yet now they had all died here, while he was the final victor.

Now, the entire Black Water Tribe was filled with smoke and fire, with ruined walls everywhere. The corpses of the two tribes were scattered all over; the entire battlefield was filled with blood, severed limbs, and despair.

Hodan truly felt the cruelty of war, watching one vibrant life after another vanish before his eyes. Hodan felt that he had never been so close to death. Right there on the battlefield, Hodan reached godhood in the Death Rule.

"Boom!" The grand Laws of the World descended.

Hodan chose to reach godhood outside his body without hesitation. After experiencing the splitting of his soul once more, Hodan gained a Death God Clone. What was slightly different was that the robes and hair of the Death God Clone were gray.

Afterward, Hodan left in a hurry. The great battle here and the descent of the Laws of the World had already attracted attention from the surroundings; after all, Hodan was also someone who had accepted this fiend mission. Hodan did not want to be exposed to others, nor did he want others to know that he had killed his employer, as that would do no good for his reputation. Hodan still needed to maintain a good reputation, which would be beneficial whether dealing with the Four Divine Beasts Clan or for his own clan. No one would be willing to make friends with someone who killed their own employer.

Of course, before leaving, Hodan did not forget to scrape the wealth here clean, mainly the Space Rings of Alex and the three leaders of the Black Water Tribe, as well as the rings of those few Five-Star Fiends and some other tribal powerhouses.

After finishing all this, Hodan transformed into a streak of light and traveled tens of thousands of miles in the direction of Silvermoon City, far away from the Black Water Tribe.

Appearing before Hodan was a vast mountain range. In these ancient mountains, trees that were a thousand feet tall and required dozens of people to encircle could be seen everywhere, overgrown with weeds and all sorts of strange plants.

Everywhere revealed the aura of having experienced vast ages of time. Hodan randomly chose an inconspicuous mountainside, where he carved out a large section to form a deep cave dwelling, staying there temporarily.

Inside the cave within the mountain range, Hodan was counting the spoils he had looted. He couldn't help but reveal a smile, "So many Space Rings, and the Space Rings of these two tribal leaders. These are the Space Rings of Seven-Star Fiends. As expected, these powerhouses are the biggest bosses to walk around. In this Hell, I'm afraid many people engage in this kind of 'no-capital' business."

"Ooh, not bad. This guy actually has over three hundred billion in his Space Ring," Luo Feng laughed. Luo Feng's divine sense entered the Space Rings of Adam and the others, scanning them. As expected of tribal leaders at the Six-Star Fiend level, each person's net worth was no less than three hundred billion Inkstone; they were wealthy indeed. Adam, as the leader, contributed fifteen thousand billion Inkstone to Hodan.

Finally, only Alex's Space Ring remained. Seeing this Space Ring, Hodan thought of Alex's eyes, which were bulging wide, still staring blankly. At the moment of death, his eyes were full of disbelief and despair! Just a moment ago, he was trembling with excitement, imagining a beautiful future, but all of this was shattered in an instant.

He, Alex, died with his eyes wide open in resentment!

At the same time, he also remembered the muttering Alex had done when he obtained Adam's Space Ring.

However, Hodan would not feel any apology for Alex's death. Hodan was no fool. Alex had gone to the Fiend Castle to hire fiends to exhaust the three leaders of the Black Water Tribe, clearly because he was reluctant to use his Sovereign's Power, only using it to kill Adam and the others when he was forced into a corner.

Looking at Alex's behavior of using these fiends as cannon fodder, if they hadn't died after wiping out the Black Water Tribe, Alex would definitely have made a move on Hodan. Hodan naturally wouldn't go soft on such a person, killing him in one stroke while he was distracted, and the wealth he had schemed for fell into Hodan's hands.

His divine sense invaded, and seeing the scene inside, Hodan was stunned.
