Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 553: Restrain

This gods hatred for Evil Gods essentially stemmed from their fear.

They feared that the Evil Gods tremendous power and cunning, unpredictable methods would cause the entire world to perish.

The gods' belief in ancient legends and reverence for mysticism made them emphasize the terror and power of Evil Gods, even if they had to ignore their own experiences.

In other words, they would rather believe the legends than risk the destruction of the world.

This kind of thought process would cause Gu Nan a lot of trouble in a world where there were only gods, but in a place where two worlds coexisted, it turned out to be something he could take advantage of.

When Gu Nan announced his plans to attack a certain greater god, all the greater gods would inevitably take action in response; one dared to underestimate him.

Gu Nans announcement at the Unified Dao meeting actually reached all the greater gods ears already, but its authenticity had yet to be verified.

It wasnt like the Unified Dao cultivators could just run over and tell them the news was true, so it would still take some time to confirm, but protective measures for Eugene had already started in the meantime.

Eugene sat at the very back of the World of Gods and directly commanded all armies, so that the power of the gods could be twisted into a firm rope that could bring out 120% of its strength.

And Austin always left a clone by his side. If something happened, Austin could return at any time.

In fact, every single greater god was surrounded by the wills of the top greater gods to prevent them from being defeated one by one.

The Light Faction had Ruler of Light and Justice Austin and Ruler of Ashen Cyan Boswell, while the Dark Faction had Dark Lady Daisy and Death God Baal.

The Ruler of Ashen Cyan was the oldest greater god still alive today and could be called a living fossil among gods. On the other hand, the God of Death wasnt very old, but his laws were special, so he could be regarded as one of the strongest greater gods.

Austin was out at the moment, so Boswell was guarding Eugene.

The Ruler of Ashen Cyan was dressed in dark blue robes, holding a wooden staff that was taller than a person. He had a long beard and white hair, and even his eyebrows were white.

Eugene was still issuing orders and directing frontline operations, but today, he wasnt as efficient and often hesitated.

"Relax." Boswell tapped the staff in his hand and said to Eugene, "The Evil God must be destroyed, and he will certainly be destroyed."

Eugene let out a long breath. He did not deny that it was the Evil God's words that brought him pressure, but he knew that it was not fear, but caution.

If he forced himself to underestimate the other side because of the Evil Gods existence, only then would he truly be affected.

"Lord Boswell, is the Evil God truly so frightening?" Eugene couldn't help voicing the doubts in his heart when no one else was around.

With the Ruler of Ashen Cyans strength and experience, it wasnt unusual for Eugene to use honorifics with him.

It was impossible for the greater gods to hold no doubts about the legends of the Evil God.

As mentioned before, this was a mentality where they would rather believe the worst-case scenario than be caught off guard, which was why no one among the gods would publicly voice any doubts. Only in front of a knowledgeable person like the Ruler of Ashen Cyan would Eugene even ask such a question.

He originally thought Boswell would quote the classics and use various methods to demonstrate the Evil Gods power and cruelty, but the latter only said one sentence.

"Yes." Boswell merely nodded. "No matter the circumstances, never underestimate the power of the Evil God."

All the way towards the rear of the World of Gods, the ancient Boswell stood before Eugene. His extremely certain expression gave the latter an unspeakable shock.

"I understand." Eugene nodded heavily, having completely restrained his unruly nature right now as he responded with the utmost caution.

However, just when Eugene made up his mind, a foreign energy started to appear near the two.

"Hes here." The Ruler of Ashen Cyans voice suddenly paused. The staff in his hand was already pointing towards a certain corner, and a cyan beam of light directly hit Gu Nan, exposing his location.

As the oldest god in the world, the Ruler of Ashen Cyan's level was roughly between Tiers 14 and 15, but in an actual fight, not even Austin dared claim he could win for certain.

If Gu Nan was at Tier 15, he would have more confidence in his chances than Austin did, but unfortunately, he was still only at Tier 12 right now.

The level suppression caused his law of shadows to lose its exceptional concealment abilities, making it impossible for him to launch a preemptive sneak attack.

"Boswell?" Gu Nan's eyes landed on the Ruler of Ashen Cyan, and he couldn't help smiling. To think even you came out."

Ruler of Ashen Cyan and Demon King Stanleythese two old farts had always been the most mysterious among the greater gods, and they rarely appeared in public. Unexpectedly, even Boswell showed himself.

The Ruler of Ashen Cyan had no intention of speaking with Gu Nan. He waved his staff again, and the cyan light began to envelope the entire hall.

As soon as Gu Nan appeared, the power of holy light also descended simultaneously, the holy sword crashing down on Gu Nan's head again.

Austin had arrived!

It could be said that these greater gods did not give Gu Nan even the slightest opportunity. In just an instant, Austin arrived directly. It was impossible for Gu Nan to kill Eugene now.

But Gu Nans figure vanished instantly without the slightest hesitation. This time, even the Ruler of Ashen Cyan couldn't tell his location.

"He ran away. Hes also targeting someone else," Austin immediately said after scanning their surroundings with holy light and finding no trace of Gu Nan.

The greater gods were not fools. Gu Nan's sudden appearance and disappearance undoubtedly contained ulterior motives. The most likely reason was that he had another target.

At this moment, Austin's gaze suddenly shifted again, and his figure quickly vanished.

"Daphne."

Gu Nan suddenly showed up on the battlefields frontlines at precisely Daphnes location, which shocked the two currently fighting.

Daphne was one of the greater gods who came to the battlefield in person, and the one fighting her now was Underworld Heavens Qin Guanruo.

The two laws of life and death rapidly alternated and collided, dyeing the entire sky two different colors. This display continued until Gu Nans sudden appearance, shocking Daphne into quickly retreating.

This was not the first time that they encountered a "gank" during a proper fight.

After all, not all the greater gods and Unified Dao experts had shown themselves, and Gu Nan wasnt the only one to come up with the strategy of concentrating firepower to kill a single person.

Daphne retreated in time, but Gu Nan moved even faster. Almost as soon as he appeared, his fist landed on Daphne's head.

But this attack was different from the sneak attack on Valen. It could be said that Daphne had always maintained the utmost vigilance.

As soon as Gu Nan struck, she had already erected a law barrier. Although Gu Nan's fist instantly shattered it, the punch was delayed slightly, giving her the chance to retreat.

More importantly, with Daphne's split-second delay, the holy light found them again. After being played by Gu Nan several times, Austin seemed furious.

"All evil will eventually return to nothingness!"
