Jason's life in this other world for hundreds of years has completely changed him.
If Jason had just arrived in the Coiling Dragon World, he would never attack anyone who hadn't provoked him, much less harm innocent people. Even if a family had a grudge against him, Jason would at most adhere to the principle of "the vengeful have their culprits" and wouldn't let the casualties escalate.
But Jason now showed no mercy in killing members of the Bagdi Tribe, even though it was their first time meeting.
The Bagdi Tribe's Deity-level have initially assembled a team of over forty people, with thirteen Midgod as their leaders, attempting to block Jason and his group.
The Deathgod Golem is undoubtedly powerful, but its drawbacks are also obvious: it is slow and only has physical attacks, while the Scaled Earthwalker Beast, which has the home-field advantage, has the ability to burrow underground.
Delisha was far too careless in sending those twelve Midgod. Jason had subconsciously thought that since the enemy's Highgod were dead, what decent resistance could they possibly encounter within a mere tribal alliance?
At that time, they forgot that the underworld was completely different from the surface world. The environment of the Netherworld limited the range of divine sense. Underground, vision was limited and battle fluctuations were weakened. Under such circumstances, the news of the fall of the family's Highgod could not reach the ears of every clan member in a short time, so there was naturally no rout.
"All the Highgod in your family have been killed by our patriarch. Don't make any futile resistance, surrender immediately!" Landon shouted directly.
However, it had no effect. After all, it was Deity-level being, and once a battle was decided, it would not be easily disturbed by its opponent.
Jason's side only has twelve Midgod. If they manage to separate the team using their earth-burrowing abilities, the Deathgod Golem won't be able to protect everyone, and they are likely to lose.
"Where is Bili?" Jason asked.
Delisha and the two Fiend were acting alone, and the rest of the group couldn't be contacted. However, someone in the group had a clone within the family who could contact Bili, who was stationed within the Rhine Clan.
Although sending Bili to provide support would leave the Rhine Clan's defenses somewhat vulnerable, the Rhine Clan cannot afford to lose more than a dozen Midgod at the moment, so they have no choice but to send Bili to provide support.
"It will probably take some more time!" said a female Midgod, whose true form remained with her clan.
"Prepare the Godslaying Arrow!" Landon said to the surrounding clansmen.
However, he then used his divine sense to say to Jason, "It's too late. The enemy has already begun to regroup. You lead the others to break through."
The "opponent" that Landon was referring to was not the enemy in front of him, but the more than four hundred Lowgod who were gradually gathering behind him.
After the initial panic, the Scaled Earthwalker Beast realized that the invading enemy was not very strong. Although they still had doubts about the absence of their clan's Highgod, they began to return one after another.
Clearly, Landon spoke with Jason alone because he believed that once the enemy's hundred-plus Lowgod gathered, even if Bili arrived in time, it would be difficult to protect them. As for the Godslaying Arrow, it would be ineffective against Deity-level capable of burrowing underground.
Therefore, Landon wanted to sacrifice himself to save his people while he still had the upper hand in the battle.
"You underestimate me too much," Jason scoffed.
Jason admitted that he was not as good as Linley Midgod period in the original work. After all, Linley at that time had the Coiling Dragon Ring and a body of top-grade Highgod Artifact level, making him almost Undying Midgod to kill.
However, Jason is not weak now, especially with the bloodline of the "Thunderwing Angel," which makes his physical strength reach the level of Midgod Artifact. His soul and body have extremely strong recovery abilities, and Jason's understanding of the laws is more than enough to deal with a dozen Midgod.
Jason immediately revealed his Thunder Angel form, unleashing two lightning chains from his wings that directly entangled the halberd in the hand of one of the Midgod.
The opponent thought Jason wanted to steal his weapon, so he lowered his body slightly. His companions around him didn't do anything about it, since in terms of physical strength Earth Element Deity-level had never been afraid of Deity-level of other attributes.
Unexpectedly, Jason transformed into a bolt of Lightning Flash and merged into the two chains, flashing directly in front of the Midgod.
Raising his halberd, the Midgod gathered a layer of earth and stone around himself, attempting to block Jason's attack. However, as an earth-attribute Deity-level, his soul has always been a weakness.
With a single, decisive strike, the opponent's soul was rendered powerless to resist; their consciousness instantly became Deathly Stillness, and their body plummeted to the ground.
Some of the Lowgod around panicked upon seeing this, but under the telepathic command of one of the Midgod, they immediately conjured several earthen walls in an attempt to trap Jason there.
At the same time, the Midgod who had gone underground also saw this as an opportunity and burst out of the ground, standing between Jason and the Rhine Clan members behind him.
Clearly, they had also realized that Jason was the "leader" of this group and wanted to surround and kill him here.
Although it was described as an encirclement, Jason was surrounded by only four Midgod and fifteen Lowgod, which they considered a formidable encirclement. The rest of the enemies were either resisting the fierce attacks of Landon and his group or burrowing underground to attempt a sneak attack, since the two Deathgod Golem posed the greatest threat to them at the moment.
However, they failed to recognize Jason's true strength, since Jason was now confident that he could hold his own against Four Star Fiend for a while.
Jason cleaved through the "wall" built by the Lowgod with a single slash and charged toward the nearest Midgod.
The Midgod was terrified and fled underground. Lightning extended from Jason's body, striking the opponent's armor directly. The next second, Jason's blade, crackling with lightning, appeared beneath the earth, forcing the opponent out of the Essence of the Earth. Then, with a slash of his left hand, he killed the opponent.
The Bagdi Tribe's Deity-level nearby instantly realized that Jason was not someone they could withstand.
However, before he could make a decision to escape, a bolt of lightning shot out from underground, connecting Jason with one of the Midgod.
This time, the Midgod realized Jason's methods, immediately abandoned the Divine Artifact in his hand, and then quickly retreated.
Jason appeared next to the discarded broadsword, and was immediately met with a barrage of fire.
The two remaining Midgod and a group of Lowgod unleashed their full ranged attacks on Jason. Jason's strength had already deterred them from getting close, leaving them only able to attack from a distance.
Most of the attacks were physical, which were directly blocked by the Highgod Artifact on Jason's body; a small number of attacks penetrated the Highgod Artifact and acted on his body, but since the attacks of the Midgod were weakened, they could not cause any damage to Jason, who possessed a body at the level of Midgod Artifact, in a short period of time; as for the small number of soul attacks, they had no effect on Jason at all.
Surrounded by attacks, Jason could no longer use the "Lightning Escape" technique he had just used. He relied on his body, Midgod Artifact, and the Highgod Artifact on his body to charge towards the group of Lowgod.
The two Midgod are already on guard, and it will be difficult to kill them quickly under the interference. The right approach now is to deal with the Lowgod first, even if it's just to drive them away, and then attack the enemy sandwiched in the middle to relieve the pressure on Landon's side.
"Ah~----" came the continuous screams.
Jason glanced to the side.
It turned out that a group of audacious Lowgod of the Bagdi Clan had gathered together, attempting to attack Landon and his companions from the side.
Landon and his men didn't hold back in this situation. They unleashed the "Godslaying Arrow," which they had originally intended as their trump card. More than thirty of the hundred or so Lowgod died, and the rest quickly fled in disarray. Even the Midgod of the Bagdi Tribe in front of them became wary and retreated slightly.
After all, it was only Lowgod, and it had no power to resist the Godslaying Arrow.
In a brief moment of distraction, Jason had already rushed into the middle of the group of Lowgod.
Some of the Lowgod, seeing the situation was dire, had already fled underground, while those Lowgod still had the will to resist were easily killed by Jason.
Looking back, the two surviving Midgod had already fled.
Jason turned and tried to attack the enemies who were entangled with Landon and his group.
"Attack those Lowgod first, disperse them! We can hold them off," Landon's divine sense transmitted.
Just now, Landon was determined to die because he feared the organized attack of more than five hundred Lowgod.
Jason knew the strength of Landon and his group; with the Deathgod Golem, they wouldn't be in danger for the time being.
As for the more than four hundred Lowgod, perhaps if they organized themselves and focused their attacks on him, they could really kill him. Even Highgod would have to temporarily avoid his sharp edge if they encountered him.
However, after Landon and his men fired a batch of Godslaying Arrow, the Lowgod of the Bagdi Family are once again caught in a dilemma of "attack or flee"—because so many of their people have died, and their Highgod leader has yet to appear!
Jason showed no mercy and transformed into a bolt of lightning, striking directly at her.
Scattered ranged attacks attempted to stop it, but the attacks from the Lowgod had no chance of even hitting Jason.
Like a tiger among sheep, Jason tore open a gap in the Lowgod were gathered and completely blended into the crowd.
At this distance, even if a certain number of Lowgod organized themselves, it would be difficult for them to accurately hit Jason among their own kind. After all, only a minority of Lowgod could be so ruthless as to not distinguish between friend and foe.
Thus, the thought of "escape, escape to the leader's side" became uncontrollable, and Jason routed more than four hundred Lowgod in just two minutes.
The rout of over four hundred Lowgod naturally alerted Landon's side, who were locked in a stalemate.
As expected, the twenty-odd Deity-level who had been blocking Landon and his group, showing no fear even when facing the two Deathgod Golem, all fled underground upon seeing this.
Landon and the others tried to stop them, but only managed to kill two of them before they were finally able to escape into the depths of the earth.
"Phew, that was close." Jason rejoined his teammates.
"You were almost invincible among Midgod, thank goodness it was close," Landon remarked.
Jason waved his hand. "No way, not at all. Anyway, Bili's nearby, right? Let's hurry and meet up with her. I'm afraid some enemies might come back."
The twelve people stopped pursuing the Bagdi Family members and, following the communication between the team members and their clones, began to sneak towards Bili's burrow.
