The scenery in front of them was changing rapidly, a huge iron cage was dismantled by a mysterious force and tilted to both sides. A vast space that was several times larger than the hall just now appeared before Raven and the others.
On the dark underground square, countless figures knelt down to Gargos on the high platform in the middle, reciting hymns of praise.
It's not hard to tell from their magnificent attire that most of them are people with high social status.
"They're... " Gripping the hilt tightly, Sains was extremely tense.
"Take a closer look, they're not alive."
"What is being prayed for?"
Lei Wen shook his head.
These somewhat illusory figures before you are not the praying ones, to be precise, they are the vengeful spirits bound here by Gaggs. Since Gaggs did not establish a divine kingdom, his followers entered this underground palace similar to the earthly divine kingdom after death, praying for Gaggs day and night, but without the welfare and treatment of the praying ones.
In fact, with the dissipation of Gargos's divine power, these ghosts have entered a stage of extinction.
And what about that arrogant Gargos on the high platform? Heh heh!
It's just a faint lingering spiritual thought that doesn't even have self-awareness. At the moment when Gaggs' main body and soul are both dispersed, it's a question of how long it can last.
The so-called Gogol's lineup is still very large.
All he saw was Gaggs raising his hand,
Innumerable specters of the faithful suddenly drew near, crouched down and arched their backs as flat as possible. Other specter followers climbed on top, maintaining a clever balance on the bodies of the lower-layered specter followers, continuing to pile up like a tower of human beings.
The moment he understood what they were doing, Sains had a nauseating feeling all over his body.
"Does Gargus really think he can use the souls of his followers as stepping stones to reach this lofty height? Among countless bards' tales, devout followers who attain eternal bliss after death are actually summoned for such a thing! It's too much!" Sains suddenly turned to ask Raven: "If you became a god, would you do something like that?"
Lei Wen curled his lip and shrugged: "No way. Look at those guys, they were either high-ranking officials who betrayed the country or decadent mages. Stepping on them wouldn't give me any pleasure!"
“……”
"If I were to exchange it for 998 golden dragons bowing their heads and letting me step on them to get on the high platform, that would be about right."
Yes, another world gold dragon edition luxury gold, just need 998, you deserve it.
Seans was completely speechless towards Raven.
As the two were speaking, Gargus stepped onto a twenty-meter high platform in front of Raven and Sains, overlooking them by trampling countless followers to form a staircase.
"Wretched mortals! I, Agrippina, now command you to look up and gaze upon my greatness."
Levin didn't even plan to lift his head. Instead, he turned around and faced Sains: "Is that so? I've heard that both parrots and monkeys like to stand in high places waiting to be struck by lightning. I don't know if it's true or not."
"Haha——" Even a poker face like Sai Ensu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Sever this dais! This thing is annoying." Raven ordered.
Xian's sword was drawn and then sheathed.
In just an instant, the cold gleam of the knife had already finished its slash.
A massive sword energy slashed through the air.
If Gargos has not fallen yet. Under the infusion of great divine power, the entire underground palace will be indestructible.
Now? A huge high platform, only a thin black screen barrier appeared, and it was over in less than one percent of a second.
The entire platform was suddenly cut out with a huge gap of about one meter wide, directly exposing the granite layer inside the platform. All decorative materials on the platform, along with the granite, were instantly vaporized by the knife light.
No dust, no smoke. It's as if someone cut a piece of cake and took it away directly.
"Ahhh——" The dim-witted Gaggs couldn't comprehend the situation at all. The concept left to him by the main body was that the underground palace should be indestructible!
The destructive force formed by the knife energy is not over yet, passing through the high platform and directly electroshooting onto the wall behind the high platform. Leaving a huge crack of more than ten meters long and three meters wide.
This is not the end, a burst of golden light flashed at the crack, and suddenly, the crack spread out, the huge wall collapsed, and the golden thing behind the wall rushed down like a broken dam.
Gold coins! Gems!
A countless amount of gold coins and jewels!
It felt like the golden city's lake could be filled with so much. The giant waves of gold coins and jewels were like a tsunami, instantly burying all the followers' souls under Gaggs' residual body.
Spirits are non-corporeal, but that doesn't mean they like to linger in walls or other solid objects. The dim intellect of the faithful spirits causes them to cast their bewildered gaze upon the hovering remnants of Gargos, seeking guidance.
Leiwen raised the Black Moon Blade in his hand: "Now you know why I had to come to Gaggs' treasury? Without these gold coins, it would be a long way off for me to forge the Black Moon Blade into a semi-divine artifact."
Sains let out a sigh. Without saying a word, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Gathos' misfortune. Why did he have to provoke Raven? Not only was the great god sold to the Justice Alliance, but even after death, his grave would be dug up by Raven.
At a glance, it's clear that Gargos' residual soul has no attack power. Sains suggests: "Lord Raven, let's take these treasures and leave."
Lei Wen shook his head, his eyes firm: "Just take these and leave? Isn't that the same as entering Baoshan empty-handed? I'm not doing something so stupid."
Suddenly realizing what Raven was going to do, Sains could only utter a "no" before Raven flashed over to the high altar in the center of the underground palace. With one slash of his Iron Flash, he broke through the last defense on the altar and grasped the peculiarly-shaped, gemstone-encrusted serrated dagger that lay upon it.
Cold sweat instantly soaked through Sains' back shirt.
She couldn't believe that Raven actually came up with the idea of using the【Sword of Betrayal and Manipulation】! That's a semi-divine artifact! Even if Gathos fell, he must have left behind his hatred and resentment towards Raven before he died.
If Kagutsu is left alone, the remaining divine will of Kagutsu will soon disperse. If this half-divine artifact were to be discovered, it would naturally be sealed by the Holy Warriors as well.
At this moment, Raven suddenly challenged the half-god artifact left by Gaggs.
This is a semi-divine artifact!
Even if the master of a semi-divine artifact has fallen, the residual divine will on it may not even have one percent of the power that Kagutsu had when he was alive.
However, Raven is only at White Silver rank!
Although willpower has nothing to do with cultivation level, if Lu Yan can't surpass the will of a half-God artifact, his soul and body may be controlled by Jia Ge's residual divine thought.
This could lead to a chain reaction. Gargos may take the opportunity to resurrect using Raven's body. It is unknown whether the soul contract between Raven and Layla is still in effect. After Gargos' resurrection, he will surely be able to sense Layla's true location through his close relationship with 'Raven', and then...
Seems almost unthinkable.
"Raven, you're either the strongest hero in history or the biggest idiot!" Sains' eyes welled up with tears as he swiftly moved behind Raven and raised his curved knife high.
She made up her mind that once Raven was controlled by Gaggs, she would behead Raven with one knife, even if it meant going against her oath.
But Leila was the one who mattered most in her heart!
For this, even if she were to be torn to pieces, she would not regret it!
On the other hand, in the spiritual world, Raven's battle with Gaggs' lingering divine thought has begun.
The first step of the war of divine thought: will!
Without a strong will, Raven's consciousness would be easily swallowed up.
However, from the moment he entered the world of Azeroth, he had been subjected to all kinds of spiritual shocks. How could Raven, who had endured his will until now, easily fail at this point?
The remnants of Gargos's divine will were indeed formidable, and as soon as they came into contact, the powerful divine will that felt like the end of the world and the collapse of the sky turned into a torrential wave that swept towards Raven's spiritual sea.
In the face of this crazy tide, Raven did not become arrogant, nor did he use his spiritual power to build a giant wall to resist this tide. He kept shrinking and compressing his spiritual power, condensing it into a walnut-sized nucleus in his perception.
Even if Gusev was a bit of a scoundrel, he used to be a god.
He has at least 10,000 to 80,000 followers with weak divine power. The spiritual sea that can bear so many followers worshiping and connecting spiritually at the same time is not a joke.
Raven, a god-level player from his past life, was very clear about what this meant.
Directly competing with spiritual quantity is courting death.
So Raven is shrinking the defensive line.
In Raven's spiritual sea, Gaggs was furiously roaring, venting the anger and resentment that had been transmitted before his physical body died.
"Raven--I curse you!"
"Raven, I will annihilate your soul! Destroy everything of yours! Take away your woman! I will use your body day and night to ravage them, then give them as gifts to the most depraved kings and the filthiest traitors to play with. Finally, I will send them to those dark sorcerers as experimental materials!"
Levin didn't respond, not even a hint of spiritual fluctuation. This mournful howl of a defeated dog, who knows how many times he had heard it in his past life. As a god-level assassin, if he was moved by the enemy's dying curse, Levin wouldn't have made it that far.
How much time has passed?
Levin didn't know, but after experiencing thousands of waves crashing against him, the exhausted Gaggs finally realized that continuing like this would only waste his already limited spiritual power.
Unfortunately, when Kagura compressed his spiritual energy into a needle, Raven had already compressed his spiritual energy into a black dot that was invisible to the naked eye, smaller than the tip of a needle.
Gargos's mangled form howled and bellowed, but was powerless against Raven's defenses.
Suddenly, the scene in front of me changed.
Levin could feel himself again. Across from him, Gargoth was no longer a simple spiritual energy body, in the visual realm, he had restored his appearance before fighting Til, that rough man with devilish bat wings on his back and covered in blood.
"Puny mortal! You don't even kneel before me?!" Gaggs' thunderous roar seemed to shake the heavens.
