Apology (Robbery)
Kailina isn't the only smart person.
Richard still had people trying to test him, after all, he was the first person in the last one or two hundred years to become a god.
Although his trajectory before becoming a god was clearly visible, having already comprehended multiple laws to the Saint Domain Limit, becoming a god was only natural.
But it just so happens that after he became a god, so many people became gods one after another, and after becoming gods, they all went into hiding.
It's hard to believe he has nothing to do with it.
Even other God Level powerhouses within the Osiris Empire were curious and came to inquire.
Richard could only tell the First Generation Osiris that he had not only become a god of the Wind Element, but also a god of the Water Element.
He had revealed all the laws he comprehended before becoming a god, as he needed to demonstrate his strength to maintain his position among the powerful figures of the Saint Domain in the Osiris Empire.
Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that at that time, he had comprehended the profound mysteries of three Law Profound Mysteries —two Wind Element and one Water Element —to the point that he was only one step away from becoming a god.
Therefore, after he became a god through the Wind Element, he was also very lucky and fully comprehended a Law Profound Mysteries through the water Water Element, so it's understandable that he could become a god in one step.
Other God Level powerhouses would at most be jealous of his good luck.
Therefore, one of those God Level powerhouses who concealed their identities was Richard's Water Element Divine Clone.
He had originally planned to keep it as a trump card, but he couldn't withstand the pressure and revealed it to the First Generation Osiris.
This is something known only to the God Level powerhouses within the Osiris Empire.
This incident can be considered an explanation to the God Level powerhouses within the empire who are also on the same side.
Before long, those God Level powerhouses couldn't care less about Richard's situation.
Because his Life Divine Clone and Water Element Divine Clone also began to break through to the Mid-level God.
Two more waves of godhood-attaining energy arrived, this time appearing simultaneously and very close together.
The prepared God Level experts rushed to the location from which the fluctuations originated, and the closest ones immediately scanned the area with their divine senses.
Richard also wanted to choose a place far away from the various God Level powerhouses, but the entire Tara Plane was only so big.
These God Level powerhouses aren't stupid; they didn't react in time to the previous sudden events.
But nowadays, in order to uncover secrets, some bored guys are going to various remote places to keep watch.
Richard even discovered that several Mid-level God were not in their lair, but were wandering around outside.
Basically, no matter where he becomes a god, people will quickly arrive.
Unfortunately, Richard's true form was guarding him this time, so let him come. His true form had eaten the God Tree Fruit, and now his Divine Power fluctuations were truly different from those of other Divine Clone.
He's just afraid of revealing his true identity; he can still show some of his strength.
This will also serve as a deterrent to these God Level powerhouses, so they won't be idle all day watching these things.
The main body directly and unceremoniously repelled all the Mental Power Scan that probed this area.
He even retaliated fiercely with his Divine Power.
All the Low-level God suffered considerable losses and obediently stopped. Judging from the Divine Power attack, their opponent was at least Mid-level God. Knowing that it was not something they should be spying on, they dared not approach any further.
But they didn't leave. After all, there were Mid-level God around here; they wanted to see how it went, right?
The two closest Mid-level God Divine Power no less than Richard's physical body, and the two joined forces to approach, determined to investigate thoroughly.
Even with Richard's Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan amplification, he couldn't suppress the two for the time being. There were even two other people rapidly approaching.
Even Mr. Steven, the Plane Overseer, was quite curious about the newly emerged powerful figures. It would be good if a powerful figure could be recruited into one's own power base.
If all else fails, I can recommend going to the Heavenly Realm; the mission objectives still need to be met.
Okay, so you want to get closer, huh?
Richard hardened his heart.
With a wave of his hand, a Black Longsword exuding an aura of Destruction appeared in his hand.
It was High-level Divine Artifact with Destruction attributes that was obtained from Leimo.
It is also the most powerful Divine Artifact in Richard's possession at present.
The moment the Black Longsword appeared, the hearts of the several Mid-level God who were approaching tightened.
"High-level Divine Artifact."
They themselves were Mid-level God, and they were well aware of the power of Mid-level Divine Artifact. The power emanating from this longsword far exceeded that of Mid-level Divine Artifact.
They know very well what this means.
Judging from the clash of divine senses just now, the opponent was only at the level of Mid-level God.
For a moment, they were both wary and irresistibly excited. This was High-level Divine Artifact; if they could seize it, their strength would increase several times over.
Perhaps this will allow them to suppress the other Mid-level God and dominate the Tara Plane.
The group glanced warily at the others; they were now rivals and needed to be careful not to let the others beat them to it.
Those who can become Mid-level God at the very top of the pyramid in the Tara Plane naturally have confidence in their own strength.
They were confident they could snatch this High-level Divine Artifact.
"Heh." Richard sneered as he saw the four Mid-level God still approaching.
Richard was well aware of these guys' plans and didn't hold back, even though one of them was the First Generation Osiris.
Although they were far apart, Richard used his spatial abilities to send the attack right in front of them.
With his current mastery of spatial manipulation, even if they are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, it's no different from if they are right in front of him; the attack power will not be diminished in any way.
This was his first direct battle against Mid-level God, and four of them at once.
It's a good opportunity to see how strong I am now.
These guys are capable of cultivating to the Mid-level God in the Material Plane, so they must have some talent. They've also cultivated for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, so they can't be considered ordinary Mid-level God.
His physical body lacked Divine Domain, which put him at a disadvantage in a fight against these four. However, at this distance, he wouldn't need to use his Divine Domain. He was confident he could end the battle before they got close.
Faced with Richard's all-out attack, which combined multiple laws and Rules and included both material and soul attacks, the group realized that this attack pattern had long since exceeded the scope of a single law in the Coiling Dragon World, becoming bizarre and unpredictable.
This is not a fusion of different laws or Rules. In this world, apart from those with Soul Mutant, it is simply impossible to fuse different laws.
It can only be considered a combination of different laws, but this combination is a killer move that Richard spent a lot of time creating to suit himself.
Faced with this deadly move, even though several Mid-level God were not careless because of their High-level Divine Artifact, they all immediately activated their Divine Domain.
It didn't weaken the sword energy attacking them much either; the sword energy seemed to exist on a different time and space level than they were, completely unaffected by the Divine Domain.
Instead, it was affected by the Laws of Time and Space attached to the sword energy.
He could clearly see the sword energy approaching, but he could only watch helplessly as the surrounding space seemed to become incredibly heavy.
Time seemed to slow down; movement was sluggish, making it impossible to avoid.
With a single sword strike, four people were severely injured.
The four Mid-level God were pale-faced, and one or two of their physical Material Defense Divine Artifact were damaged.
Physical attacks can be defended against, but soul attacks cannot.
After enduring Richard's soul attack, the group stopped and did not approach any further.
While their Divine Power was comparable to Richard's, none of the four were adept at matters of the soul.
They were able to fight Richard head-on with their Divine Power just now, but after Richard used such a bizarre soul attack, they dared not approach any further.
Material attacks can be withstood with Defensive Divine Artifact, but even Richard's material attacks are terrifying, destroying one or two Mid-level Material Defense Divine Artifact on each of them with a single blow.
But if they gritted their teeth and attacked together, they could hold out. Taking a gamble for that High-level Divine Artifact wasn't out of the question.
Soul attacks won't work, Soul Defense Divine Artifact are very rare; they don't have any of them.
The only way to deal with soul attacks is to tough them out; if you can't withstand them, you'll perish silently.
Let's forget about it; I don't dare take the risk.
This person has proven his strength, and they no longer want to provoke him.
While the High-level Divine Artifact is tempting, it's highly unlikely we can defeat it, even with four people attacking together. If obtaining this High-level Divine Artifact requires sacrificing our lives, then forget it.
So the group turned to leave. Since it was impossible to find out the situation or seize the High-level Divine Artifact, they decided not to stay and humiliate themselves.
But Richard has already intervened, how could they be allowed to leave just like that?
"What, do you all think you can just come and go as you please? What do you take me for?" Richard said through Divine Power while swinging his sword again.
The faces of those who took another sword strike grew increasingly grim. Some even had their Defensive Divine Artifact destroyed and had to take out several more from their Space Ring to replace them.
"What do you want?" asked Osiris, who had fiery red hair and a slightly irritable temper.
"I apologize for the offense. This is my apology." The true form of the Beast King, who had transformed into a human, was slender and appeared very polite. He took out a Mid-level Divine Artifact as an apology.
"I was just passing by. Please forgive me if I have offended anyone," said the First Generation Pope of the Light Empire, dressed in a white robe and looking like a kind old grandfather.
"I am Plane Inspector, directly under the Chief God. Do you dare kill me?" Steven, relying on his status Plane Inspector, was extremely arrogant.
Excluding Richard, these four are the only remaining Mid-level God in the Tara Plane.
There were originally five, but Leimo was killed by Richard.
The group reacted differently to Richard's message. Two immediately backed down, while one remained wary. Steven, on the other hand, was quite arrogant.
"Don't try to scare me with your status as a Plane Inspector. Don't think I don't know that as long as I don't kill you, why would the Chief God care about such trivial matters?" Richard replied to Steven.
Steven felt a little uneasy. This person seemed to know something about the Divine Plane; he didn't seem like a country bumpkin. Could he be from another Divine Plane?
That's impossible. I've been guarding the teleportation array all day; wouldn't I know if anyone's coming?
"You've all offended me, it wouldn't be right not to offer some compensation, would it? This gentleman, do you think Mid-level Divine Artifact is useful to us?" Richard first addressed the others, then spoke privately to the Beast King.
"What does Your Excellency require?" After exchanging glances, the Beast King finally spoke.
They're on the same side now, brothers in arms. Let's put aside past grievances for now and get through this difficult time first.
"Unbind the Space Ring you're wearing and hand them over to me." Richard made an outrageous demand.
"Impossible! Don't go too far!" The Light Pope's expression changed drastically. The other three also looked grim.
Their Space Ring basically contained their entire fortune, the wealth they had accumulated over most of their lives, including their most prized possessions.
"That does seem a bit too much. How about this, you can each take five items. Only five items." Richard thought for a moment and then compromised.
