Exile

Banishment

Suddenly, he felt a Divine Sense sweep over him, and his expression immediately turned unpleasant. It was one thing for someone to probe while on the road, but for someone to dare do so on his own turf, they had to be severely punished! Immediately after, a surge of Thunder Divine Clone power rushed toward him. Black sensed it for a moment; although the newcomer was a High-God of the thunder element known for speed, this fellow's speed was not particularly fast. At most, he had fused two Mysteries, and neither of those two included the speed of lightning.

He felt slightly speechless. Did this rookie not know whose territory Dark Gloom Peak was? To be so bold! Black never once considered that this might be a High-God hiding his true strength. If he were a Paragon, they would know each other; if he were a Seven-Star Fiend or a Shura-level expert, he wouldn't dare provoke him. Even if he did, Black's Death Divine Clone would have nothing to fear.

"Black, you son of a b*tch!" Before the strange High-God even flew close, his Divine Sense transmission arrived first. Black was stunned, then instantly overcome with rage. Even Sovereigns treated him with courtesy; how dare this bastard!

As his anger flared, Death Divine Power permeated the air, and two soul attacks shot directly from his eyes into the opponent's body. This strange High-God was naturally Percy. He was only at the level of a Five-Star Night Demon and had no resistance against such Shura-level attacks. He instantly fell from mid-air, writhing on the ground in agony, yet he still cursed, "You... son... of a... b*tch!!"

Black was even more incensed. A Soul Leech appeared in his hand, and he raised his arm to force it into Percy's body, causing Percy's eyes to roll back as he convulsed, unable to speak. Black walked up to Percy, his gaze like a blade, cutting into Percy as if he were being bitten by ten thousand insects or being skinned and deboned.

"I won't be satisfied until I've tortured you for millions of years. Let me pry open your head and see who gave you the courage for this!" Black said viciously, preparing to strike again.

Suddenly, a Divine Sense swept over from afar, and a surge of Radiant Divine Power struck, accompanied by a stern voice: "Black, let him go!"

Black casually blocked the attack, already knowing who had arrived. The two or three dozen Paragons and suspected Paragons had already studied the combat footage of others countless times, so he was very familiar with their appearances. However, as a true Paragon, he could tell whether Willpower had been used in a battle.

A mere suspected Paragon dared to order him around? Black didn't take it to heart at all.

As his divine power continued to invade Percy's body, Black was just about to examine his memories when a surge of Radiant Divine Power blocked him in a strange way. Black tried to force his way through this barrier, but the Radiant Divine Power refused to budge. Amidst the collision of the two divine powers, Percy's divine body was already on the verge of shattering.

"I said stop!" Lincoln manifested seven pearls and pushed them toward Black. The pearls emitted a "Sacred" radiance. "Black, if you don't stop, I will definitely make you regret it!"

With years of combat experience, Black saw that the Seven-Star Heaven had extraordinary power. Thinking that he wouldn't be able to obtain Percy's memories in the short term, Black simply picked Percy up and threw him toward the seven radiant pearls. The poor High-God died in the endless radiance, still twitching in pain and unable to make a sound.

Lincoln flew over, his hair standing on end with rage. "Black, how dare you!"

Black didn't care at all, looking at Lincoln with contempt. "Of course I dare. Lincoln, don't think that just because you've been praised as a suspected Paragon, you can stand on equal footing with us Paragon High-Gods. If you aren't a Paragon, you will always be a tier below us!"

Lincoln sneered upon hearing this. "Fine, what a fine Shadow Night Demon. Today, I will trample this Death Divine Clone of yours under my feet and see what a Paragon High-God can do to me!"

Before his words faded, Lincoln raised his left hand high, blooming with infinite radiance. "Prison of Light!" Beams of light intertwined, instantly enveloping and trapping Black completely. As soon as Black touched them, he felt his soul being purified and damaged. "Not bad, Lincoln. The Laws of Death have the deepest research into the soul, yet you can actually hurt me. However, if you want to fight, then let's fight. As a dignified Paragon High-God, would I be afraid of you?"

After Black finished speaking, Dark Sovereign Power surged within him, and those beams of light were directly severed by the Sovereign Power, as if they had lost their vitality. He controlled the Dark Sovereign Power to form giant scythes and attacked Lincoln. "Soul Reap!"

Lincoln scoffed, Dark Sovereign Power surging within him. Those rays of light retracted, but in the air, they formed a decree: "Heavenly Execution!"

Lincoln's Laws of Light were only half a step away from being a Paragon, while Black's Laws of Death were only equivalent to an ordinary Shura; there was already a gap in strength. Furthermore, Lincoln was using Sovereign Power of the same attribute, increasing his strength by several hundred times, while Black was using mismatched Sovereign Power, increasing his strength by only a hundred times. With the two combined, Black's moves were directly scattered, and he was struck squarely by the Heavenly Execution.

The Prison of Light was essentially the precursor to Heavenly Execution; once tainted, one would be locked onto and hit by the Heavenly Execution.

"Eden Javelin!" Following the Heavenly Execution was a transparent javelin glowing with seven-colored light. Its attack power was even greater than the Heavenly Execution, and it also struck Black directly, erupting with intense, dazzling light.

Lincoln stared intently. From the gradually dissipating light, a figure appeared—it was the nonchalant Black.

Lincoln's eyes narrowed slightly. "You didn't dodge on purpose. You have a material defense Main God Artifact."

"That's right, Lincoln. Even if the Sovereign Power doesn't match, you might not be able to break my soul defense, and as for material defense, you definitely can't break it. I didn't expect that besides your Dark Divine Clone, your Radiant Divine Clone would also be this strong. Unfortunately, being mediocre in many skills is not as good as having one specialty. Once my Dark Divine Clone arrives, prepare yourself to regret this!"

Lincoln truly wanted to destroy this Death Divine Clone, but it was still not the time to expose his Willpower.

"In that case," Lincoln changed the subject, once again drawing on a drop of Sovereign Power to launch an attack, approaching Black at extreme speed. The Laws of Light were among the fastest laws, and Black couldn't dodge in time before being struck in the abdomen by a punch. Then, countless punches rained down on Black, making it difficult for him to parry.

Using the Mystery of Light Speed as the core, other Mysteries as support, and a Main God Artifact body as the foundation, this move, "Lost Paradise!", was enough to kill an enemy instantly. Even with high material defense, it could leave the enemy temporarily unable to react. To ensure the success of his plan, Lincoln had brought his Saint Original Body out this time instead of leaving it in the safer Material Plane.

Likewise, his Thunder Divine Clone, Wind Divine Clone, and Fire Divine Clone could all rely on the speed of lightning, the Mysteries of Fast and Slow, or the Mystery of Explosion to perform this move in coordination with his Saint Original Body.

Seeing that the time was right, Lincoln used all his strength to kick, sending Black high into the air. Lincoln casually tore open a spatial rift, then quickly moved above Black and struck with both hands, banishing the defenseless Black into the Spatial Turbulence.

"No--!" Finally reacting, Black screamed frantically.

Lincoln just watched with a cold sneer. "Go ahead and throw your weight around in the Spatial Turbulence!"
