Chapter 374: A Chief God Bandit, Mysterious Black Fog

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Earth Divine Realm was indeed inconceivably huge. It took them a whole week just to get out of Double Realm Mountain.

Of course, this was also partially due to Meng Lei. In order to “take” all the Divinity Crystals lying in abundance everywhere, Meng Lei had refrained from using the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique, leading to their slow progress.

As the saying went, “From small increments comes abundance”. After a series of ransacking, he had collected a fairly impressive amount of riches. Going by a rate like that, Meng Lei believed that he’d be able to put together enough money very soon for the 5 trillion Divinity Crystals that he needed in order to buy credit for one of his supreme laws of nature!

The path ahead was a smooth and level one!

Thus, Meng Lei was naturally filled with motivation.

Half a month later, they finally arrived at Dragon-Elephant City. This was a city so massive that it was pretty much boundless. In comparison, Double Realm Mountain was just like a little pond sitting next to the boundless oceans.

There was no comparability between the two at all!

“It’s huge!”

“How many light years does this city stretch on for? Are all the cities in the Divine Realms so excessive?”

Terribly astounded, the group of them floated in mid-air and overlooked Dragon-Elephant City that stretched on far beyond one’s line of vision.

“Dear sirs, Dragon-Elephant City stretches on for 200 light-years from the east to the west and 180 light-years from the north to the south. It’s one of the 66 cities under the Caesar Dragon-Elephant Gods’ command.”

Upon seeing their astounded reactions, the bandit chief, a Divine Realm native, actually felt a small sense of smugness come over him. He explained with a smile, “Dragon-Elephant City has a resident population of 98,000 quadrillion people, among which the number of higher deities has reached as many as over one million, and more than 10% of the population are intermediate deities. It’s considered a fourth-rate city in the Divine Realms.”

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing his explanation.

A distance of 200 light-years from the east to the west!

A distance of 180 light-years from the north to the south!

A resident population of 98,000 quadrillion people!

Higher deities that numbered as many as a million of them!

Huge!

It was too huge!

It was to the extent that one could no longer imagine how big Dragon-Elephant City was just by their imagination alone!

Meng Lei was also astounded. Even if he were to use his Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique, he’d have to spend quite a long time before he could get out of Dragon-Elephant City. This was simply too excessive!

However...

“The bigger it is, the better it is!”

The corners of Meng Lei’s lips curled upward, and his divine cognition gushed down like flowing mercury, instantly enveloping the whole area within a billion kilometers beneath them. Then, he cast his special ability—Transfer!

Transfer was a special ability that he had plundered from the Dark Mother Tree back then. He could disregard all obstructions and spatial barriers and transfer anything to his target location with this ability.

Meng Lei rarely used Transfer in battle because it wasn’t very suitable for use in battle. Its biggest functionality was emptying treasuries and ransacking safes...

“Collect!”

With a thought from Meng Lei, all the Divinity Crystals, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, and even spatial rings that he detected during his scan—be it hidden in treasuries or hidden in the soles of one’s shoes—were all transferred over to him!

“Collect them all, system!”

Whoosh!

An insane spike went through his Wealth value in the system. By the time it came to a stop, it had actually increased by a terrifying 7 trillion Divinity Crystals. This was simply too dramatic! One must know that Meng Lei had only looted all the Divinity Crystals within a billion kilometers of where he was!

How big was Dragon-Elephant City?

How many billion kilometers must it be?

“To hell with the Monarch’s treasure and the God of Time’s riches!” Meng Lei couldn’t help but let out an emotional sigh. “The Divine Realms’ deities’ riches are the true and biggest treasure of all!”

No matter how much riches a person had, there was ultimately still a limit to it simply because they were just an individual. This was true even if the person they were talking about was a mid-level Ancient God like the God of Time or a Supreme Juggernaut like the Boundless King.

Conversely, no matter how poor the masses were, once their riches were put together, it would come together to form a dramatic number.

Was Bill Gates rich?

Yes, he was!

But did he have as much as the total savings of 1.3 billion common people?

Of course not!

This was exactly what was so fearsome about a huge base number!

“Let’s continue!”

Since he’d already gotten a taste of the benefits, all the more, Meng Lei would never let the opportunity slip him by. Even though his actions were very shameless and had crossed the line and even caused innumerable deities to lose everything they had, what did it matter?

As the saying went, “If one doesn’t take what the heavens bestow upon them, misfortune brought about by it would instead befall them”. In a dog-eat-dog world like the Divine Realm, one’s strength was what was the most important instead. Who would care about the weak’s mad barking?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Meng Lei looted the wallets and assets of all the deities in Dragon-Elephant City without any limit. Wailing and lamenting followed in the wake of everywhere he went.

“Damn it!”

“Who stole my wallet?!”

“My spatial ring! Where’s my spatial ring?!”

“That goddamn thief! How dare you steal my treasures!”

The large-scale theft naturally caught the city governors’ attention. The Caesar Dragon-Elephant Gods’ higher management officials in charge of Dragon-Elephant City deployed the city guards at once and began a search for the thief.

However, it was destined that they would never find him.

Who would be able to find Meng Lei when he had already mastered spatial laws of nature and was hiding in the sky with the others?

It was nothing more than just a futile struggle.

“How strange!”

“Why are there suddenly so many people in Dragon-Elephant City?”

“What are they ranting about?”

“What a mess...”

Meng Lei and the others were standing right above Dragon-Elephant City, so the ongoings in the city naturally didn’t escape them. All of them looked absolutely puzzled when they noticed the chaos in the city. Everything had been perfectly fine just now. Why had the city suddenly gone into utter chaos?

What exactly had happened in Dragon-Elephant City?

“Haha!”

Meng Lei merely chuckled in response and continued his shameless actions. If one were to say that he had the decency to feel a little embarrassed about his actions, in the beginning, all sense of shame and guilt had been tossed out of his mind by now at the sight of his currently rapidly increasing wealth.

Embarrassment?

All I want is Divinity Crystals!

In the city governors’ residence...

“A bunch of good-for-nothings!”

Dowa Caesar, a man with a dragon head, a human body, and a pair of horns on his head, yet also an elephant’s trunk on his face, was so furious that he smashed the table into pieces with his fist. With his finger pointed at a group of subordinates, he broke into a huge rant.

“There are so many of you, yet you can’t even catch a single thief! What’s the point of having all of you here?!”

“My lord, please calm down!”

“Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down?”

Dowa Caesar was fuming mad. “With so many deities robbed, everyone in the city is fearful and in a panic. If this goes on, Dragon-Elephant City will become totally destroyed!”

“My lord, that thief is simply too arrogan—”

“Cut that useless crap and find that goddamn thief at once! Otherwise, there’s no point in your existences anymore!”

“Yes, my lord”!

“A bunch of good-for-nothings!”

Dowa Caesar took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down as he stared at the now empty hall. However, he simply couldn’t.

Theft was actually just a trivial matter, but with so many deities robbed—especially when innumerable higher deities had been robbed of everything they had—this was no laughing matter!

One must know that a million higher deities were residing in Dragon-Elephant City. In contrast, there were no more than just a mere total of 100,000 higher deities in the whole of the Caesar Dragon-Elephant Gods!

If all one million higher deities came together to create a fuss, the Caesar Dragon-Elephant Gods wouldn’t be able to handle them at all!

Therefore, they absolutely had to find the thief and take back the treasures that the residents had lost.

Otherwise, Dowa Caesar had no guts to even imagine what might happen next!

“Kekeke, you’ve run into trouble, haven’t you?”

A series of piercing, owl’s hoot-like sounds rang out, and then, a black fog arose and started to circle and dance around Dowa Caesar.

“You bastard, who let you out?”

Dowa Caesar took a few furtive glances around him like an alarmed little rabbit. After ascertaining that no one had discovered them, he heaved a sigh of relief before shouting furiously, “Are you worried that no one will find you or what? Hurry and go back!”

“What’s there to be scared of? Everyone has already left.”

The black fog let out a couple of strange cackles and asked, “It seems like you’ve run into some trouble, and on top of that, it’s pretty serious?”

“It’s just a few petty thieves. It’s not much of a problem!” Dowa Caesar snorted and ordered, “Go back for now. Let’s communicate via telepathy instead.”

The black fog was unmoved. Instead, it replied, “A few petty thieves? You’re oversimplifying things. Do you know who the one that stole those innumerable deities’ riches is?”

“You know who it is?”

Dowa Caesar was puzzled.

“I’m afraid it would frighten you to death if I say his name!” replied the black fog mockingly.

“Who exactly is it?”

Dowa Caesar gnashed his teeth in fury.

“A Chief God,” uttered the black fog leisurely.

“A Chief God?”

A shudder went through Dowa Caesar’s entire body, and he almost wet himself in fear.
