Chapter 367: Besieged By Five Deities, Weapon Enhancement

Dead silence filled Monarch Mountain.

Gaianos and the other four deities stared at Ebenezer’s corpse, feeling as though an extra-powerful tsunami with huge, rolling tidal waves rising to the heavens had struck their hearts.

Ebenezer!

A Great Perfection-level Giant Elephant God!

He had died just like that?

How could that possibly have happened?

How could that be?

One must know that he was a Great Perfection deity!

An existence second only to a Chief God!

How did he die?

How could he die?

Extreme astoundment filled the five Great Perfection deities in this instant. All along, lesser deities and intermediate deities had always frequently perished while only a very small number of higher deities lost their lives.

As for Great Perfection deities...

Unless a war between gods and demons broke out, no Great Perfection deities would perish at all!

Over time, this had given the gods the impression that Great Perfection deities would never die.

Yet Ebenezer had perished! The resulting astoundment was no less shocking than a hydrogen bomb going off!

However, what shocked and horrified them even more was that Meng Lei acted as if all he had killed was just a mere chicken and nothing more after he killed Ebenezer. Calm and tranquil, he wasn’t excited or agitated in the least.

“That guy... Who exactly is he?”

A bone-deep chill ran down the five Great Perfection deities’ spines as they stared at the calm Meng Lei.

They had suddenly realized that they couldn’t tell how strong or weak Meng Lei was at all. He was just like an ordinary person that didn’t give off even a hint of any aura.

This was what alarmed and frightened them the most—because it meant that there was an incredibly huge gap between Meng Lei and themselves!

“Now that one’s dead, there are still five left.”

Meng Lei turned to Gaianos and the other four deities and asked calmly, “So, who’s next?”

Meng Lei’s gaze greatly alarmed the five Great Perfection deities and gave them incredible pressure. They hastily began to communicate with one another via their divine spirits in search of a solution.

“What should we do, everyone?”

Marshall, the Great Perfection-level Angel God, said, “That guy is unfathomably strong. If we continue to engage in fierce battle with him, it’s very likely that we’ll end up like Ebenezer. Why don’t we... Retreat instead?”

The other Great Perfection deities fell silent at once. They couldn’t accept such an outcome at all. They were Great Perfection deities; how were they supposed to face the world if they retreated just like that?

Yet if they didn’t...

They really didn’t have the guts to battle Meng Lei!

Just as the five Great Perfection deities were caught in a dilemma, Meng Lei spoke once more. He looked at Gaianos and said calmly, “You made the most noise just now, so you’ll do.”

Gaianos’ eyelid twitched, and he instantly tensed up. However, before he could respond, Meng Lei had shown up right in front of him like a phantom.

They made eye contact.

Meng Lei gave him a slight smile.

A huge shudder went through Gaianos.

The next moment, a blood-red glint flashed across, and the Grim Reaper Scythe instantly cleaved onto Gaianos’ neck with a crisp clink.

Then, something awkward happened:

Apart from causing a series of sparks, the Grim Reaper Scythe wasn’t able to slice open Gaianos’ skin at all. In fact, the blade even curled somewhat.

“(⊙o⊙)”

Meng Lei was stunned for a second before an embarrassed smile formed on his face. He said, “Sorry, I forgot to enhance it!”

No matter what, Gaianos was a Titan with a Great Perfection-level body. Not only did he possess Herculean strength, but his body was also incredibly strong and powerful. How could his divine body’s defenses possibly be sub-par?

On the other hand, the Grim Reaper Scythe was just an ordinary high-tier divine weapon. While it would do if one were just trying to slice open a higher deity, it was somewhat inadequate if they were trying to slay a Great Perfection deity instead.

But no matter, he could just enhance it.

“Ding! The Grim Reaper Scythe is currently an intermediate high-tier divine weapon and will rival that of an advanced high-tier divine weapon after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 6 million Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”

“Yes, enhance it!”

Whoosh!

A blood-red glow flashed across the Grim Reaper Scythe, causing the aura around it to become even more unholy. As the blood-red glow intensified, the blade’s curled edge also returned to being straight and level, becoming even sharper and chillier than before, as well as receiving an upgrade in level.

“This isn’t enough, though. Enhance it further!”

“Ding! The Grim Reaper Scythe is currently an advanced high-tier divine weapon and will rival that of a Great Perfection-level high-tier divine weapon after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 1.2 billion Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”

“Yes, enhance it!”

Whoosh!

Another blood-red glow flashed past...

Just as Meng Lei was in the midst of enhancing the Grim Reaper Scythe, Gaianos finally snapped back to reality.

“Die!”

He raised his gigantic fist and smashed it toward Meng Lei without a second thought. Although he didn’t know why Meng Lei had suddenly frozen in mid-air... It didn’t matter as long as he could kill him!

Boom!

Gaianos’ punch was filled with incredible might. It smashed ruthlessly into Meng Lei, sending him flying like a launched cannon.

“Attack!”

Adolphus, Burnside, and the other two hurriedly launched into a flurry of attacks at the sight.

“Holy Judgment!”

Marshall, the Great Perfection-level Angel God, roared furiously. A huge light sword that flashed with platinum-silver light descended from the sky, stabbing right at Meng Lei’s head.

“Dragon Breath of Destruction!”

Adolphus, the Great Perfection-level Colossal Dragon God, also let out a loud and sonorous dragon roar. He opened his mouth and sprayed out a wave of violet-red dragon breath that blasted Meng Lei mercilessly.

The violet-red dragon breath contained extremely great destructive power capable of wrecking everything in the world. The moment it appeared, it destroyed the dimension around it without any prior warning whatsoever.

“Berserk Punch!”

Burnside, the Great Perfection-level Behemoth God, let out a bellow. His divine body started to furiously expand, instantly becoming as big as 1,000,000-feet-long, and he threw a punch.

“Inextinguishable Phoenix Flames!”

Roald, the Great Perfection-level Fire Phoenix God, emitted a crisp and clear cry as he transformed into his true form, the Fire Phoenix. Crimson-gold flames burst forth with a strong flap of his fiery-red wings as he tried to burn Meng Lei into ashes.

“Ten Thousand Thunderbolts!”

Gaianos didn’t stay idle, either. He knew very well the true essence of the saying “Kick a man when he’s down”. He brought out a pair of hammers with a flip of his wrists and smashed them viciously against each other.

Crackle!

The two hammers crashed against each other, producing dazzling violet thunderbolts that struck mercilessly at Meng Lei.

For a moment there, a gigantic light sword, Dragon Breath of Destruction, Berserk Punch, Inextinguishable Phoenix Flames, and violet thunderbolts came blasting from five different directions, their terrifying might seemingly going to crush Meng Lei and reduce him to dust.

“Look out, Master!”

The tremendous might flattened the Great Prophet, Olio, and the others to the ground, rendering them limp and unable to even speak. All they could do was shout furiously in their hearts and watch helplessly as the series of attacks engulfed Meng Lei.

Boom!

A destructive force capable of wrecking the world erupted as the five attacks landed on Meng Lei. The place where he stood instantly became a black hole. Violent, raging energy waves shot into the surroundings. Even the five Great Perfection deities became somewhat unsteady on their feet as the force pushed them back.

The energy waves continued to spread. True to expectations, Monarch Mountain was turned into dust. As for the Great Prophet, Olio, and the others at the summit, they were sent flying right away like leaves drifting in the wind.

In this instant, the sky within 10 million kilometers of where they were... was turned into a black hole. The whole area had completely become a doomsday scene right out of hell.

The skies became dim and overcast as light from the sun and moon was blotted out.

This was exactly what a battle among Great Perfection deities was like!

“Is he dead?”

“I should think so?”

“He’s doomed for sure after suffering all-out attacks from the five of us!”

The five Great Perfection deities steadied themselves and watched the center of the black hole nervously, waiting for the outcome of their attacks.

“How is he?”

“How’s Master?”

The Great Prophet, Olio, and the others who had been sent flying into the distance were also watching the center of the black hole nervously. Since they were able to survive a siege by a million experts, they were naturally also very strong.

That was why they had been able to survive the residual shock waves just now. Otherwise, they’d have been destroyed a long time ago!

“I hope Master’s safe. Otherwise...”

An incredibly nervous Olio clenched his fists.

“Master is the heir whom our great Juggernaut has selected. How would he possibly perish here?”

“He’s alive! He’s definitely still alive!”

The residual shock waves gradually faded away, and the broken dimension slowly recovered.

When everything had been restored...

“How can that be?!”

“I knew it!”
