The Descent of the Ancient Gods

The Dragon God needed a great deal of time to devour the Dragon God’s soul and bones, so the moment it returned to Wang Bert’s body, it immediately fell asleep.

"Once the dragon soul awakens, it will become a new Dragon God and gain the attributes of poison and devouring."

Wang Bert nodded in satisfaction. In fact, it was not only the Dragon God that needed to digest its gains. He also needed to absorb the Dragon God’s blood to raise Blood God Power to the divine level.

"A complete victory."

At that moment, Wang Bert spotted the Dragon Tooth. After some thought, he sealed it away in his pocket dimension, planning to slowly figure out its purpose after devouring the Dragon God’s soul.

Meanwhile, Adam arrived beside Grandmaster and the Succubus Lord. The Succubus Lord claimed credit. "Adam, I’ve already destroyed most of the runes. These two altars will soon lose their effect completely."

Adam looked at the gradually extinguishing altars, his brows slightly furrowed. On the surface, Grandmaster’s actions did not seem problematic, but for some reason, Adam had a persistent feeling that something was wrong.

After hesitating for a moment, Adam swung his sword at Grandmaster. Grandmaster was startled and hurriedly leaped aside to evade the blade.

With a flick of Adam’s hand, Cosmic Energy transformed into a semicircular barrier that trapped Grandmaster inside. Then Adam sneered. "You really do have a problem."

Grandmaster pulled out a strange Energy Gun and fired at the barrier. At the same time, he asked with an ugly expression, "How did you find out?"

"I didn’t. I was just testing you. Hmph, you dodged so quickly, which means you were never under control."

As Adam spoke, he slapped through the air. Grandmaster’s Energy Gun exploded at once.

"What? Grandmaster wasn’t under control?"

The Succubus Lord asked in shock and fury. That bastard had actually deceived her?

"Succubus Lord, you’re even more useless than I imagined. You couldn’t even seduce someone properly."

Adam cursed, grabbed the Succubus Lord, and threw her into Doom’s Mirror Dimension. "Watch Doom and the others. Make sure they don’t die. That’s about the only use you have."

The Succubus Lord was deeply aggrieved and unwilling. She glared at Grandmaster through gritted teeth. If she did not know he was certain to die, she would have torn him to pieces.

"Adam, it’s not too late for you to surrender. Two ancient gods will descend soon."

Though trapped, Grandmaster showed no fear. Instead, he said arrogantly, "Blood God is indeed powerful and capable, but no matter how powerful or capable he is, he cannot possibly be a match for an ancient god, much less two of them."

Adam could not be bothered with Grandmaster. He directly swept his sword toward the two altars. At that moment, both altars began to shake violently. Then the surrounding space-time started to distort. No matter how the greatsword attacked, it could not truly strike the altars.

"This is the power of ancient gods. They can even muddle space-time."

Grandmaster burst into laughter. "This time, Blood God is really, truly, absolutely dead."

Adam put away his greatsword and asked with a frown, "Didn’t you fail to offer sacrifices? Why can they descend?"

"That altar was constructed from souls. It doesn’t need sacrifices at all; it only needs to be activated."

Grandmaster said smugly, "Never seen such an advanced method before, have you?"

Just then, a beam of holy light shot in from the side and instantly pierced Grandmaster’s body. Grandmaster stared at Wang Bert as he descended from the sky, disbelief written all over his face. He actually dared to kill him? He was an Elder of the Universe! To be honest, Grandmaster had always been somewhat fearless. Killing him meant offending all the Elders of the Universe. No matter how arrogant someone was, they would only dare seal him away, never kill him.

That was why Grandmaster had been so reckless.

Wang Bert beckoned, and the Spear of God flew back into his hand. He said coldly, "Grandmaster, I told you that you would die a miserable death."

Grandmaster wanted to say something, but his body was rapidly purified by the holy light. Then Wang Bert seized his soul from afar and stored it in his pocket dimension.

The moment Grandmaster entered the pocket dimension, he heard Astronomer roaring nonstop. "Blood God, how dare you kill me? Do you know who I am? Do you know how many powerful gods I know? Do you know…"

Not only was Astronomer there, but Runner and Annihilator were as well. The two sat weakly on the ground, waiting for their final fate.

Grandmaster swallowed and asked, "Were you killed by Blood God too?"

"Yes. Thanks to you, we were all killed by Blood God."

Runner glanced at Grandmaster and snorted. "This time, we really should thank you properly."

Grandmaster roared in shock and fury, "Blood God actually dared to kill us?"

Runner said irritably, "Hey, don’t go insane like Astronomer. One madman is already annoying enough. I don’t want to see a second one."

"Astronomer went insane?"

Grandmaster was stunned. Runner nodded. "Yes, he went insane. Honestly, I never expected Astronomer to be so fragile, so afraid of death. I used to admire him so much."

Annihilator spat beside them, clearly just as disdainful of Astronomer.

Grandmaster looked at Astronomer, his heart turning ice-cold. He asked, "Um, how does Blood God intend to deal with us?"

Runner shrugged. "Nothing much. He’s just going to have tens of millions of souls bite and tear at us."

"Tens of millions of souls biting us? And you call that nothing much?"

Grandmaster’s eyes widened in shock. A moment later, he wailed loudly, "Blood God, I surrender! Spare me! I can serve you! I can atone for my sins…"

"Another one has gone insane."

Runner spread his hands at Annihilator. Annihilator shook his head and said, "Just wait for death. It should be soon."

Runner said calmly, "Probably. This is our retribution."

Leaving the Elders of the Universe aside for now, after dealing with Grandmaster, Wang Bert brought out the Space Stone to suppress the void. The two altars gradually settled down.

"Looks like the Space Stone can suppress them."

Adam smiled. Just then, both altars exploded simultaneously, and two black holes appeared in the void.

Then, a dark crimson phantom emerged from the black hole on the left. It was the ancient god worshipped by Ebony Maw. Though it had not truly descended yet, its terrifying killing intent already filled the entire planet. The Kree soldiers aboard the Blood God collapsed to the ground in terror, trembling uncontrollably.

From the black hole on the right emerged a grass-green tentacle. The instant it appeared, the entire planet descended into chaos. The Kree screamed continuously like madmen.

The two ancient gods were about to take the stage. Ego, who called himself a Celestial, trembled in fear. What the hell was that bastard Grandmaster doing? He had actually summoned ancient gods?

If the planet had not been sealed off, Ego would already have fled.

"So this is the so-called Celestial race?"

Star-Lord was full of contempt. This guy bragged as if he were invincible, but he was actually just useless trash. Uh, why did that sound so much like himself?

"Damn it. Flame Demon, Demon Dragon, come over and prepare for battle. Doom, deal with the Gargoyle Lord as quickly as possible."

Wang Bert frowned and shouted as he attacked the two black holes. The Flame Demon Lord and Demon Dragon Lord flew over sluggishly with bitter expressions.

"I knew we shouldn’t have surrendered to Blood God. We’re finished now."

The Flame Demon Lord complained to the Demon Dragon Lord, "Those are ancient gods, and there are two of them. How could we possibly beat them?"

"We’ll find a chance to betray him later."

The Demon Dragon Lord spoke softly. At that moment, both his and the Flame Demon Lord’s souls were struck by intense pain. They knew Adam was warning them. With helpless sighs, they quickly flew toward the altars.

Next, Wang Bert and the three Hell Lords joined forces to attack the two black holes repeatedly, but every attack vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever. Even the Space Stone’s attacks were the same.

"Blood God, the time for you to pay the price has come."

The dark crimson phantom slowly emerged from the black hole, its immense killing intent filling heaven and earth. It felt as if even the planet itself would be killed by it.

Just then, the tentacle that had emerged earlier suddenly lashed viciously at the black hole. The black hole distorted violently and rapidly collapsed.

"Shuma-Gorath!"

The dark crimson phantom roared and desperately tried to descend into this world, but the tentacle struck the black hole again and again, forcibly destroying it. The dark crimson phantom vanished along with the black hole before everyone’s eyes.

Everyone stared in astonishment. Wang Bert lowered his hand and quipped, "Looks like you really are insane. You even attack your own people."

"Since when was he one of my people?"

As the Eye Demon slowly descended, he said, "He and I are mortal enemies. Besides, I alone am enough to deal with all of you. Why should I let him have a share?"

The Eye Demon was neither brainless nor insane. It was simply extremely confident in itself.

Though it was not descending in its true body, only as a projection, it was enough. There were merely four Hell Lords; to it, that was no great difficulty.

Every ancient god possessed such confidence—God was, in fact, also one of the ancient gods.

"You think you’ve already won?"

Wang Bert smiled disdainfully. "Eye Demon, let me show you what a real madman is!"

As the Eye Demon squeezed its way through with all its strength, it said disdainfully, "Then I really will have to see it. If you put on a good show, I’ll leave your corpse intact."

Wang Bert did not waste any more words. He raised his left hand, and the Infinity Gauntlet appeared on it. Half a Reality Stone glittered brightly—he had never returned the gauntlet after borrowing it.

The Eye Demon scoffed. "It’s only half an Infinity Stone. Do you think it can scare me?"

"Of course an Infinity Stone can’t scare you. But what about this?"

Wang Bert raised his right hand. The One-Eyed Lord’s remnant soul roared in his palm, "Blood God, don’t expect to use me to threaten the Eye Demon. No descendant of the Eye Demon fears death."

"Shut up. Even if you feared death, your ancestor wouldn’t care about your worthless life."

Wang Bert said irritably. Seeing that the One-Eyed Lord had ultimately fallen into Wang Bert’s hands, the Eye Demon cursed in displeasure, "Trash, completely useless. This time, I’ll kill you along with them."

The Eye Demon was not employing some strategy. It genuinely meant it. Fortunately, Wang Bert had never intended to use the One-Eyed Lord to threaten the Eye Demon.

"Control the One-Eyed Lord, and you control One-Eyed Hell."

Wang Bert shouted, "Reality Stone, I sacrifice the One-Eyed Lord and One-Eyed Hell in exchange for the power to repel the Eye Demon."

As Wang Bert shouted, the Reality Stone lit up with a dazzling red glow. The red light engulfed the One-Eyed Lord, then the entirety of One-Eyed Hell was shrouded in crimson radiance.

And that was only the beginning. As the Reality Stone took effect, One-Eyed Hell began to collapse as though the end of the world had arrived.

It was a true collapse of heaven and earth. Even the void was shattering. At the same time, red light swept across the world. The moment demons were enveloped by it, both their bodies and souls were taken away.

Aah! As the Reality Stone absorbed One-Eyed Hell, it poured an enormous amount of power into Wang Bert. The energy was so vast that Wang Bert could not help roaring. His entire body lit up with dazzling red light, his hair rose into the air, and strange energy patterns appeared over his body.

"Wow, Super Blood God."

Adam laughed, then shouted to the Demon Dragon Lord and Flame Demon Lord, "Pour your power into Blood God, or he may not be able to endure it."

"Oh, right, right."

The two demons snapped out of their shock and hurriedly joined Adam in sending power into Wang Bert’s body, helping him suppress the violent energy.

To be honest, the two Demon Kings were utterly stunned—sacrificing an entire layer of Hell, what kind of madman could come up with such a crazy method?

Hell not only possessed vast territory, but also tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, of demons.

Even the Eye Demon was somewhat startled. It said, "You really are a madman."

"So what?"

A blood-colored Magic Array suddenly appeared before Wang Bert. Then a blood-colored Shockwave roared out from it, destroying space all the way as it blasted toward the Eye Demon.

Even a Hell Lord could not withstand such a Shockwave, but the Eye Demon was not a Hell Lord. It was an ancient god. With a loud shout, its tentacles drew upon the power of its dimension and smashed down at the blood-colored Shockwave as if wielding an entire world.

Boom! The tentacles and the blood-colored Shockwave collided violently. Both time and space became warped and chaotic, while massive spatial cracks appeared all around, as if the apocalypse were about to descend.

These spatial cracks were no joke. The surrounding ground vanished in succession like bites taken out of an apple.

Even Ego was scared out of his wits. These two were too terrifying.

The Eye Demon roared, "Blood God, even if you sacrifice an entire layer of Hell, you still cannot kill me. I am Shuma-Gorath!"

"If one layer isn’t enough, then I’ll use two, three, four, five. I have plenty of Hells."

Wang Bert’s voice was even louder than the Eye Demon’s. "And I still have the Power Stone. At worst, I’ll sacrifice everything. Eye Demon, I refuse to believe you can withstand so many attacks."

Even the Eye Demon was somewhat shaken. In its own dimension, it would not care about such a threat at all, but in the Main Universe, it could not withstand that kind of attack.

Ancient gods were ultimately not Creator Gods.

"Sacrifice all the Hells? Damn it, Blood God really is a madman. He flips the table at the slightest provocation."

The Demon Dragon Lord and Flame Demon Lord could not help cursing inwardly—Blood God intended to sacrifice their Hells.

Unable to restrain himself, the Demon Dragon Lord asked Adam mentally, "Adam, aren’t you angry? Why don’t we just rebel?"

Adam said nothing. He merely used the contract to viciously stab the Demon Dragon Lord’s soul. The Demon Dragon Lord cried out in pain and no longer dared say anything reckless.

Other demon gods might retreat in the face of such an attack, but the Eye Demon would not. It laughed loudly. "Blood God, you truly are a madman. Fortunately, I’m not exactly normal either. Let’s have some fun."
