Slaying the Beast God

"You brat, you're courting death!" the Beast God roared. Wielding his massive axe, he charged at Olivier.

"Ah, ah, die!"

What came crashing down was not only his divine artifact axe, but also countless axe phantoms condensed from Earth Element, each carrying the force to split mountains. Their power was astonishing; even Hemerson could not compare to the Beast God's mastery of the Earth Element laws.

Olivier's soul had reached the level of a Highgod, while his divine body possessed the strength of a mid-level divine artifact. His fusion of the Light Elemental Profundity and Darkness Elemental Profundity was equivalent to fusing three profound mysteries of the same type of laws.

His fused divine power was slightly weaker than Highgod power, and Olivier was somewhat disadvantaged in terms of divine artifacts and combat experience.

However, overall, Olivier's strength was still comparable to that of a Highgod who had fused two profound mysteries of the same type of laws.

Facing the Beast God's all-out strike, Olivier did not dare be careless.

"Sizzle, sizzle."

He gripped the Mystic Ice Sword.

Fused divine power, the Light Elemental Profundity, and the Darkness Elemental Profundity—all of them erupted. Even Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, which he had not used for a long time, was unleashed. Countless sword phantoms condensed throughout the surrounding space, and some could vaguely be seen gathering together to form enormous swords.

These enormous swords collided simultaneously with the Beast God's divine artifact axe and the Earth Element axe phantoms.

"Clang, clang!"

"Bang, bang!"

After the collision, Olivier swiftly thrust several more times, striking the Beast God's axe.

Clang after clang rang out.

Olivier's swordsmanship was nimble and ever-changing, and his speed was extremely fast. Every move of the Beast God's great axe was immensely powerful, but it lacked variation and was slow.

In an instant, they exchanged several more blows.

Olivier discovered that the Beast God possessed tremendous strength and formidable material attacks. However, he was still slightly inferior to Olivier. Relying on that tiny advantage, it would be very difficult to win.

As for soul attacks, Olivier was ultimately only a Lowgod. Though his soul was comparable to that of a Highgod, he held no great advantage in that regard against a true Highgod unless he broke through to become a Midgod. Furthermore, Olivier had never specifically studied soul attacks; this was his weakness.

Since becoming a god, Olivier had gained far too little experience fighting divine-level opponents. In his two battles against Lowgods—against O'Brien and on the twelfth floor—he had killed his opponents instantly. As for Midgods, he had only just slain two of them in an instant.

Strictly speaking, Olivier had not yet brought his strength to its fullest. He had not created a unique ultimate technique based on the profound mysteries of laws he had comprehended.

In the original work, every time Linley made a breakthrough, he maximized the power of the profound mysteries he had comprehended and created the most suitable ultimate technique. The technique he created by combining the Soul Stone had nearly raised his strength by an entire level.

There had been too little time, and he had seen too little.

By comparison, the Beast God had created an ultimate technique of his own. Therefore, even though Olivier's true strength was slightly greater, it was still difficult for him to defeat the Beast God easily.

Practice made perfect. As his battle with the Beast God continued, Olivier's control over his own power became increasingly refined.

Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin was an application of swordsmanship. The faster it was, the greater its power. It was a sword technique focused on material attacks. Since creating it, Olivier had barely used it; he had never encountered a worthy opponent.

Now, the Beast God had been somewhat weaker than Olivier from the start. After fighting for a while, Olivier had completely seized the initiative.

It was time to unleash his killing move.

"Beast God, take my Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"

Countless Oliviers and countless sword phantoms condensed into a single sword almost simultaneously, converging at one point. Immediately afterward, innumerable sword phantoms gathered together again, like a mountain flood bursting forth in wave after wave, instantly breaking through a dam and surging onward.

"Bang!" Sword and axe collided.

The power of Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin lay in its swords layering atop one another, forming a continuous attack that could even produce a multiplied striking effect.

The Beast God felt it most directly. In the first wave, he was blasted backward and could barely defend himself.

"Splash!" Blood sprayed everywhere.

In the second wave, the Beast God could no longer defend himself. His great axe was sent flying, and Olivier's sword pierced through him in the same motion. Under the impact of the immense energy, the Beast God was torn in half.

The once-arrogant Beast God had fallen just like that.

"Ah."

The Beast God's sudden death stunned everyone present.

The two had clearly been evenly matched, trading blows in a fierce deadlock. Then Olivier suddenly erupted and directly took the Beast God's life.

The Wolf God and Isabelle, who had been fighting, immediately stopped.

When the Midgods and Lowgods of the Orc Race saw that the Beast God had fallen, the leading Midgod said nothing and turned to flee. The others quickly followed.

In an instant, the Wolf God was the only remaining foreign divine-level expert.

Coming back to his senses, the Wolf God also wanted to leave immediately.

"Wolf God, don't be in such a hurry to leave," Olivier called.

He had already put away the Beast God's spatial ring, great axe, and Earth Element Highgod spark. Seeing the Wolf God preparing to flee, he naturally would not let him go.

"Th-this lord, I never wanted to trouble the Moon Elf Race. The Beast God threatened me into coming. If I refused, he would have killed me. And I never used my full strength; I was only putting on an act. Isabelle knows that best."

The Wolf God showed none of a Highgod's dignity and immediately began begging for mercy.

"I enjoy killing people and taking their treasures." Seeing how spineless the Wolf God was, Olivier unexpectedly tried to intimidate him.

As a Lowgod, he could take a Highgod's life with a laugh and a smile. Such bearing had never been seen before and would never be seen again.

"However, I do not like killing. I came from outside and need to pass through here to reach the next level. I heard that you sealed the entrance. As long as you help me break the seal, I can spare you," Olivier said.

"My lord, that will not be a problem. I will definitely help you," the Wolf God said.

In the end, the Wolf God was kept in the Moon Elf Race by Olivier.

For the Moon Elf Race, the ups and downs of life had come far too quickly. They had originally prepared to fight to the death, only for defeat to turn into victory in an instant. From then on, the Moon Elf Race would dominate this land.

Olivier became the Moon Elf Race's savior, and his treatment changed completely. Isabelle arranged four breathtakingly beautiful moon elf women for him, all of them willing, and many more moon elf girls competed for the chance to serve him.

However, aside from the first four moon elf beauties, Catherine blocked all the rest. Olivier was often scolded by Catherine as a lecher, but he truly had done nothing.

News of the Beast God's death quickly spread. The Moon Elf Race launched a counterattack against the Orc Race. The Orc Race did not dare resist and many were killed. In the end, the Moon Elf Race did not dare exterminate them completely, fearing that their divine-level experts would be driven to desperation and launch sneak attacks against the Moon Elf Race.

In addition, Olivier had the Elf Race spread word to find the Wind God and ask him to help break the magic array.

After all, the magic array sealing the entrance had originally been set up by four Highgods. At least four Highgods would be needed to break it.

Life among the Moon Elf Race was wonderful. There were especially many beauties, pleasing to the eye. Catherine had found members of her own race, and the two of them nearly forgot that they were in the Graveyard of the Gods.

"Olivier, you are clearly a Lowgod. How can you be so powerful?"

Ever since Olivier killed the Beast God, this was the eighth time Catherine had asked him.

"It's a secret, one I can only tell the person closest to me."

Olivier always answered this way.
