Chapter 820: The Might of the Gods (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Heroes of the Ocean Crown saw the overwhelmingly dark divine apparitions, feeling as if a mountain were pressing down on them. Despite their reluctance, they knew that facing enemies at this level would only burden their Lord.

If they were to stay forcibly, it would only drain Ji Chen’s energy to protect them. Therefore, at this moment, they all remained silent and retreated a considerable distance with the Ocean Crown army.

The dark divine apparitions paid no attention to these insignificant beings and let them depart.

Ji Chen looked at the five dark divine apparitions before him and suddenly chuckled, causing the dark divine apparitions to freeze in place.

“You lowly scum, even at the brink of death, you dare to laugh,” the Decay God frowned.

Ji Chen slowed to a stop, his tone mocking.

“The memories left behind by the previous generation of the God of the Ocean from tens of thousands of years ago tell me that back then, you were all thoroughly beaten.

If it weren’t for a sneak attack by higher-ranking gods, several of you wouldn’t even have been able to defeat a single God of the Ocean. It’s truly lamentable.”

The Decay God and the God of Fury were first stunned, then their faces darkened.

It was something they preferred not to discuss.

In reality, at that time, the God of the Ocean could easily suppress them with just his own divine power. If not for the later sneak attack by their higher gods, the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain for both sides.

Because it was embarrassing to admit being overwhelmed by one against five, they had always kept silent about it.

Now that Ji Chen had exposed it so blatantly, they immediately felt the strange gazes from the other three allied divine apparitions, causing them to become increasingly infuriated.

The Decay God didn’t want to waste any more words and released a wave of grayish decay.

“Scum, feel the anger of the gods!”

The Decay God launched an attack, and the God of Fury no longer hesitated, activating the Authority of Fury. Ji Chen suddenly felt a rush of restlessness and anger in his heart, and his vision began to turn blood-red. He felt an intense urge to vent his anger.

The Authority of Fury stirred up the primal rage deep within the hearts of living beings, causing it to multiply infinitely. It could blur combat awareness, expose numerous attack vulnerabilities, and, in severe cases, lead to a loss of rationality and become slaves to the rage, regardless of friend or foe.

It was related to the most primitive emotions of living beings, which was why it was considered a lower-tier authority but had effects comparable to intermediate-tier authorities.

Ji Chen couldn’t help but be affected, feeling the desire to unleash this emotion. However, the power of the ocean circulated throughout his body in the next moment, clearing his burning mind and gradually restoring his vision to normal.

The Authority of Fury had been broken.

The God of Fury widened his eyes in disbelief. How could this human block his authority so quickly? He hadn’t even had a chance to act yet!

For some reason, a sense of unease surged in his heart.

Therefore, during the first divine battle, the God of the Ocean also easily blocked his authority of rage…

The decay energy emitted by the Decay God was also blocked by the “Power of the Ocean” that surged forth. As a specially crafted divine descent body, it could not contain more power than the avatar he had previously used.

Therefore, he did not intend to rely solely on himself to deal with Ji Chen.

Seeing the “Power of the Ocean” entangled by the decay energy, he urged slightly impatiently, “Strike now.”

“Alright, let these ants witness the true power of a deity.” The gaze of the Sinister God was like that of a venomous snake as he opened his mouth to utter a curse.

A sharp and piercing sound suddenly spread out, as if it could pierce deep into the soul and turn into a soul puppet.

The authority of [Sinister Speech], its effect was quite similar to Alice’s mind control but more domineering. Words spoken would lead to action, directly grinding away the souls of living beings, leaving only their bodies like a puppets controlled by the authority.

But [Sinister Speech] also had another name, called [Divine Speech].

When used by evildoers, it was the power to grind away souls, an evil force. But when used by good people, it was the power to soothe the soul and inspire it.

Ji Chen felt a series of extremely piercing noises in his ears, like the wailing of evil spirits from the bottomless abyss, and the wailing of demons from the boundless purgatory. His soul was in turmoil, and his consciousness was swaying.

Using the divine descent body to display authority, although not at full power, its might was still considerable.

If he had already ignited the divine fire and transformed into a god, he would naturally not fear this. However, at this moment, he was still in a mortal body, and [Sinister Speech] was an intermediate-tier authority. Even with the protection of the Power of the Ocean, he was still significantly affected.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar rang in his ears, dispersing the sinister words of those fiends.

Gradually, his consciousness recovered.

And a mighty divine descent body had already arrived not far away.

“Insects, dying by my hand is your honor!”

The Mighty Strength God swung his fist, and even the air emitted a sharp sound not inferior to the sinister words.

This power even sealed off the surrounding space, making it impossible to use the teleportation ability of the Void Ring. Realizing that it was difficult to evade, Ji Chen hastily erected a water curtain to block it.

Boom!

Countless splashes of water rose into the sky as a figure flew backwards into the sea like a cannonball, causing towering water columns to surge.

“My Lord!!”

Alice and the others exclaimed in shock.

Ji Chen reappeared from the sea, but his clothes and hair were slightly disheveled, and there was a hint of blood at the corners of his mouth.

The blow from the Mighty Strength Demon just now had inflicted considerable damage on him. At least, the hastily erected water curtain couldn’t block all of the force.

The full-force strike of the divine descent body had already caused damage to this body that was evolving towards godhood, but ultimately it was not the body of a god. Four or five ribs were broken, there was internal bleeding, organ damage, and ruptured blood vessels…

Ordinary beings would have long since perished from this blow, but Ji Chen was, after all, above the epic tier, so he barely withstood the blow.

The power of the ocean flowed continuously from his feet, repairing damage throughout his body, while also working at full capacity to heal.

But the enemy didn’t give him any time to recover. The sky suddenly lit up, and tens of thousands of flames fell abruptly, evaporating countless seawater before reaching the surface. In the rising white mist, Ji Chen’s clothes began to ignite spontaneously.

In the sky.

The Master of Hell cast a cruel and cold gaze, and with a wave of his hand, another blaze that burned all things fell.

The authority [Inferno], the twentieth intermediate-tier authority.

Just as the sky was about to engulf the human in flames, a vast and boundless storm suddenly rose from the sea, extinguishing the flickering flames and, in an instant, enveloping the five divine descent bodies.

When this mighty storm swept in, the five dark gods exclaimed in unison.

“Storm authority!?”

They had not expected that this human, in addition to the power of the ocean and the authority of thunder, also possessed the nineteenth intermediate-tier authority, the authority of storms!

Even the Decay God had not anticipated this. Realizing that there was no turning back, he had to grit his teeth and say, “With three authority powers combined, this person is a great threat to us. We must not let him ignite the divine fire. Now is the best time to kill him!”

The five dark gods reached a consensus and no longer concealed their power, unleashing the full power of this divine descent body.

Sinister words surged, flames engulfed the sky, words of rage resounded, mighty forces tore through the air, and decay pervaded.

However, they underestimated Ji Chen’s power.

They saw that this storm was not just the power of the storm authority alone. An invisible domain unfolded, with thousands of thunder serpents flashing above, and the mighty power of the ocean permeating every part of the storm.

This was a composite attack formed by the convergence of the power of the ocean, the authority of thunder, and the authority of storms, creating an endless assault of storms, lightning strikes, and violent eruptions of ocean power, like waves of relentless attacks.

The murmurs of sinister words were overshadowed by thunder, the rage was washed away, the inferno was extinguished by the storm, the stench of decay disappeared with the rolling waves, and the ferocious might swayed weakly in the wind.

That figure stood amidst the storm, merging with it.

Though not a god, he wielded the power of a god.

When the storm subsided and the thunder dissipated, what remained was a tall figure.

Alice and the others finally let go of their held breaths at this moment, cheering loudly.

And in the city, which resembled a ruin, countless demons watched this scene in dumbfounded amazement, their expressions filled with confusion.
