Chapter 328 -330: The Almighty Divine Monster: Asreaga (10,000-Word Mega Chapter)

“Ding~ You have hatched a Divine Being—Divine Monster, gaining 200,000 character experience.”

What?

Divine Monster??

Upon hearing the system’s notification, Lide’s expression was priceless.

Why would a Divine Monster, a mythical being from legends, hatch from a bronze egg he had seized from the Spider Plane??

Isn’t that a bit far-fetched…

Follow current novels on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

Divine Monsters are born of divine beings that died young or creatures that received divinity and were cursed by divine beings.

There are countless types of Divine Monsters; no two are the same in the world. These bizarre, terrifying, and ferocious beings embody all the evil in the world—a great terror unimaginable, untouchable, and indescribable to ordinary people.

All beings of light and goodness curse Divine Monsters; they are the mortal enemies of all intelligent life.

The appearance of a Divine Monster could instill panic in a nation, even an entire plane.

Luckily, since ancient times, most Divine Monsters have been sealed by powerful divinities in the Abyss and various Lands of Extreme Evil.

Although the Main Plane of Glory has a long history, it seldom hears news of such extremely evil and cruel divine beings.

Yet now, the system was telling him that a seemingly insignificant bronze egg from the Spider Plane was harboring such an extremely evil and terrifying being.

Isn’t that a joke??

It gave him a surreal feeling, like accidentally finding a nuclear bomb while taking a casual walk outside.

Taking a deep breath to calm his mind, Lide’s gaze slowly returned to normal; his experienced heart had enough resilience.

To prevent any accidents, he immediately closed all the space gates inside the Land of Bone-Burying.

The existence of a Divine Monster was too evil; he couldn’t guarantee absolute safety.

Instantly, only the cracking bronze egg and the Cow Bone Undead trembling in fear in the corner remained in the Land of Bone-Burying.

The aura of Extreme Evil emitted by the Divine Monster could instill fear in any being in this world.

Even the undead belonging to the Evil Camp seemed as pure and innocent as maidens under the influence of the bronze egg’s aura.

Untouchable, unimaginable, indescribable.

The aura emitted by the Divine Monster, even to Lide, the Lord of the Land of Bone-Burying, contained a terrifying dread that sent shivers down his spine.

In the deathly silent Land of Bone-Burying, on the bone-strewn white skeletal ground, the ancient bronze egg began to crack little by little.

Crack~

Suddenly, a loud bang, and a forelimb with sharp claws emerged from the bronze eggshell; the world’s most evil being was about to be born…

Merely the appearance of this claw made the oppressive atmosphere inside the Land of Bone-Burying denser by more than tenfold, making even the deathly air seem to tremble.

The bizarre Cow Bone Undead had hidden as far away from the bronze egg as possible, its soul trembling, visibly emanating fear from its soul, a being that gained strength by gnawing on skeletons.

Lide’s eyes narrowed at this scene.

It was coming out…

After the sharp, scythe-like forelimb tore open the bronze eggshell,

Crack~ The originally barely intact bronze egg shattered as if a piece of glass heated to a high temperature was suddenly thrown into cold water.

Bang~

A crisp sound echoed in the Land of Bone-Burying.

At the moment the bronze egg burst, a heartfelt, ominous burst of chaotic light flashed.

The body of the Divine Monster emerging from the eggshell suddenly swelled, growing to a height of three blades before Lide could even blink; conventional logic simply did not apply to this divine being.

As the pale white, mixed with pale green and pale blue, chaotic light faded, the true form of the Divine Monster appeared before Lide.

Powerful and evil—that was Lide’s first impression of the Divine Monster before him.

Three blades tall, its strong body appeared as if it had been molded by melting bronze and then poured into a sculpture crafted by the finest artisan in the world, each inch, each muscle exuding an explosively powerful force that made one’s heart tremble.

Beyond imagination, incomparable.

With dark gray wings that cannot be described for their terror sprouting from its back, the gruesome barbs on those flesh wings could make a warrior holding a thick shield tremble in fear—they were the bloodiest of weapons.

Its narrow eyes glinted with an extreme murderous intent, embodying the purest form of evil, devoid of any trace of humanity or kindness.

That was the gaze of a demon, the whispers of a Grim Reaper, the indescribable terror that came from a Divine Monster.

Its horns slightly curved, forming a bow shape, exuded a sense of strength.

Covered in gray skin, its densely inscribed body emitted a chilling aura of Extreme Evil.

These were the marks passed down by the Ancient Gods, blasphemous language, words that could end the world—mere sight of which could drive ordinary humans instantly into madness.

The hands of the Divine Monster were not humanlike but were dagger-sharp claws; no one could doubt the lethal capability of those cold, gleaming claws, strong enough to slice through dragon scales.

Behind it, a tail as long as five spears, reminiscent of a knight’s lance, carried a deadly and dangerous presence. The tip of the tail sported a pitch-black eye, as hard as forged metal spear tips or like an abysmal eye choosing its prey, its mere movement enough to send chills down one’s spine and make one’s hairs stand on end.

It seemed like the next second, that tail of Extreme Evil might launch a devastating strike.

A killing machine.

Every part of this Divine Monster’s body was honed for slaughter.

The claw-like fingers sharp as daggers, the barbs on the wings that could tear shields apart, the abyssal eye-like sharp tail tip, the scythe-like hooks on its knees, and toes colder than razors.

No one could imagine the exaggerated destructive power this being would unleash upon entering an enemy’s ranks.

Lide suppressed his emotions and opened the attribute panel of the Divine Monster.

The attributes displayed made him take a deep breath.

This Divine Monster truly lived up to its name… these attributes were against the heavens.

Introduction: Survived the Battle of the Ancient Gods, hid in a Bronze Dragon Egg to evade the gods’ detection. Although most of its power was lost during its slumber, its divinity remains unextinguished, still possessing terrifying potential and power. Permanently at odds with the Light God System and Natural Divine System, permanently enemies with the Good and Neutral camps.

Seeing the attributes of the Divine Monster gave Lide a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Even though this Level 19 Divine Monster didn’t have many skills, each was terrifying.

First, the two titles—God Eater (All attributes +1000%, increases damage against the Light Attribute and Natural Divine System factions by 1000%), Curser of the Gods (Causes panic in beings with a Legend Level below 50, decreasing all attributes by 30%. As long as divinity is not extinguished, the Divine Monster remains immortal, damage against divine-powered beings increased by 1000%).

These titles were ridiculously powerful, almost bursting the scale—Lide thought that the two titles he gained after activating his Divine Position couldn’t even compete.

A Divine Monster truly does not play by the rules of strength.

The remaining skills—Extreme Evil, Eternal Body, Body of Divine Monster, and Space Mastery,

Added up with the Bloodline: Extremely Evil Blood.

Lide scrolled back and forth several times to review the skills, and finally had to admit, the combat power of this Divine Monster was beyond the skies.

Just summarizing it made him feel goosebumps arise.

Immune to all negative statuses, immune to Five Circle and below spells, immune to space-type spells, immune to instant death and mind-control skills, as long as it still had divinity, it could continuously resurrect, freely traverse spaces, and permanently enhance its own power by devouring negative energy…

And an exaggerated percentage increase in all attributes…

Lide was somewhat tempted to ask, “Is there anyone within Level 19 who can contend with this Divine Monster?”

“I’m not targeting anyone… but all those at Level 19 are a pleasure to behold.”

“These life forms that survived from ancient times really don’t make any sense.”

It took a while before Lide could somewhat calm his spirit.

However, his expression turned complicated after seeing the Divine Monster. Could this creature possibly devour its master?

It was impossible to comprehend the existence of a Divine Monster, and he couldn’t determine it either.

With a thought, he directly connected to the Plane Stone of the Land of Bone-Burying.

Moments later, he sighed in great relief.

He could feel that his soul mark was imprinted on the soul of the Divine Monster the moment it was born at Level 19.

At this moment, the Divine Monster, which had survived from ancient times until now, was under his control.

Furthermore, due to the Power of Faith, he felt his control over the Divine Monster was even greater than the first life born in the Land of Bone-Burying, the Cow Bone Undead.

With a thought, Lide waved his hand in his office, and under the watchful eyes of Harrison, who had been quietly waiting for him, opened the Space Gate to the Land of Bone-Burying.

Zzzap—

The space shattered, but just as the Space Gate opened,

the Level 19 Divine Monster, sensing the presence of an outsider, suddenly turned around. Its narrow, crimson eyes emitted a lethal ferocity, and its sharp claws fiercely slashed through the air, the blade-like chill gleaming upon them.

Tap, tap—

Tap, tap—

Lide stepped through the Space Gate in his black Mage robe, looking directly with an indifferent gaze into the cruel and bloodthirsty crimson eyes of the Divine Monster,

as if the terrifying gaze that could shatter the resolve of a stalwart warrior didn’t exist.

After getting slightly closer to the Divine Monster, Lide could see more clearly the killing machine towering three blades high.

A sense of oppressive force from its massive form hit him face-on.

Yet, he faced it as if it was merely air, his gaze indifferent.

“Asreaga the Destroyer…”

However, before Lide could finish his words, the Level 19 Divine Monster suddenly stepped forward a few paces, then knelt on one knee before Lide.

That head, bearing enormous bull horns, deeply bowed.

“Father God…”

Father God? What an odd title.

And this language…?

The words spoken by Asreaga were in none of the languages Lide had ever heard, though he could understand their meaning.

This unfamiliar language even made his skin crawl; he could vividly feel that the words of this Divine Monster were spoken in an Ancient Profanity, older and more malevolent than the three Extreme Evil languages: Abyss Profanity, Undead Profanity, and Hell Profanity.

The tone and intonation were strange, accompanied by a strong mental impact and soul cleansing, enough to cause a mental breakdown in ordinary people upon hearing this language.

Lide’s eyes narrowed slightly; if it was Father God, then Father God it would be. He looked piercingly at Asreaga.

“My child, Asreaga, why were you slumbering inside a Bronze Dragon Egg?”

This was what puzzled Lide the most. From the system’s description, it was known that the egg hatching the Divine Monster was a Bronze Dragon’s egg.

It was unbelievable that a Divine Monster could enter and survive countless years inside a Bronze Dragon egg.

The Bronze Dragons, masters of space among dragons, are counted alongside the Golden Giant Dragons and the Five-Color Dragons as one of the three great races of the Dragon Clan.

The ancient Bronze Dragons were capable of contending with deities, and the protective nature of dragonkind was well-known in Glory, let alone among the Bronze Dragons, a mighty and rare species.

Upon hearing this, Asreaga, the Level 19 Divine Monster, appeared slightly stunned, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. After trying to remember for a moment, he shook his head.

That ancient language of evil rose again.

“Father God… countless years of slumber have caused me to lose most of my power and memories. I only remember that I was torn apart by an indescribable mighty deity, then fell into a long sleep.”

Some confusion lingered on Asreaga’s face, etched with evil inscriptions.

Sleep had overtaken him for far too long, so long that he had forgotten everything about his past.

Lide’s mouth twitched slightly; being torn apart by divine beings, it must have been the gods who killed him.

However, the fact that the other party had lost their memory was somewhat regrettable to him.

During the ancient times, there had been several Battles of the Gods, but much of that information had been lost to time and the intentional actions of some.

Now a Divine Monster, alive for over two million years, lacked those buried memories, which made him feel a sense of loss.

If the other party still remembered his former treasure, the Divine Artifacts…

Cough cough, indeed it was impossible for him to have all the good fortunes to himself.

“Asreaga, how were you born?”

The birth of Divine Monsters had always been a mystery in Glory; some wandering poets said that after the divine beings fell, Divine Monsters were the grudges of the gods born from divine corpses,

there were also legends that Divine Monsters were Divine Sons born from divine beings, naturally possessing divine power but easily cursed by the abyss and hell; once cursed, the Divine Sons would turn into Divine Monsters, becoming undying beings.

Although Divine Monsters were renown for being undying, if their divinity was eroded away, they could still be killed.

However, because the divinity was so overwhelming, even divine beings needed a long time to erode it, so most defeated Divine Monsters were just sealed by divine beings in secretive places, hoping to destroy them over time.

It wasn’t that the divine beings didn’t want to kill these Divine Monsters outright, but rather that they couldn’t; the divinity was indestructible, and even if their bodies were torn apart and their souls strangled, they would reconstitute in some land of extreme evil; sealing thus was the best countermeasure.

Asreaga, looking at Lide’s serious expression, seemed puzzled, “Father God, it was you who granted me rebirth.

In the chaos and the void, I heard your call; you reshaped my body with the Power of Death, formed my soul with divine power…”

Me?

Lide was slightly stunned but still felt somewhat helpless looking at Asreaga’s serious expression.

This guy, it seemed, really had lost most of his memories.

After a moment of thought, he grew curious about the process that had revived Asreaga.

He hadn’t expected that the Power of Death and Power of Faith would turn out to be the key to activating Asreaga.

“It must be that the Power of Death formed Asreaga’s body first, followed by the Power of Faith which formed the soul;

This was the only explanation for why the Bronze Egg’s panel stated it required powerful life force for incubation, yet Death’s Power was used in the end.”

Subsequently, Lide asked Asreaga some questions, but still failed to gain any useful information.

This Divine Monster, speaking the Ancient Profanity, knew nothing about the past except for being killed by divine beings; all memories had been lost with his power during the long slumber.

This made Lide lose interest in continuing the conversation.

“Asreaga, my army is fighting in the Underworld, I will send you to…”

This was a Level 19 Divine Monster, whose powerful battle capabilities could undoubtedly become his ace.

With Asreaga stationed in the Underworld, he could pull his forces from below, as the players were about to arrive; he needed to personally oversee the upcoming upheaval.

“Asreaga will follow your orders, Father God…”

In front of Lide, the Father God who had granted him new life, this ancient Divine Monster with two horns and an evil existence was very submissive.

This eased Lide’s initial worries.

His biggest fear about sealing the Land of Bone-Burying was the weirdness and unknown nature of Divine Monsters; after all, Divine Monsters were beings even divine beings dared hunt, no one could be sure if they would turn against their master, but clearly, he had been overthinking it.

“Asreaga, before you head to the battlefield, you need to learn to use the common language of Glory.

The Ancient Profanity you speak is too evil; my subordinates cannot converse with you.”

As the Blood Clan Ancestor, whose blood had been purified by the remnants of divine beings, Lide naturally did not need to elaborate on his Magic Resistance.

But if his strength was discomforted by the Ancient Profanity of this Divine Monster, one could imagine how ordinary subordinates would fare against this terrifying being.

This was a difference in the level of life, unbridgeable.

After all, Asreaga had previously battled divine beings; the divinity within him was a living presence.

“Yes, Father God…”

Lide looked pleased at the Level 19 Divine Monster, and with a wave of his hand, reopened several Space Gates that he had just closed.

Currently, there are four Space Gates opened in the Land of Bone-Burying.

One gate was fixed at the breeding farm, another opened at the walls of Dawn City, and the other two were created at the entrance to Giant Valley leading into the underworld and in the passage of the underworld.

Through the establishment of these space gates, the transportation efficiency of Dawn City’s military and other later-stage supplies was immediately and dramatically improved.

For example, troops could be dispatched directly from the space behind the walls of Dawn City into the underworld passages.

What used to require Magic Language Bats for a journey of five or six Sunshine Hours could now be reduced to less than a minute, saving a great deal of time and energy in logistics.

However, the opening of the space gates required a certain amount of Power of Death. The more supplies that passed through and the longer the opening time and the greater the distance, the more power was consumed, which limited Lide’s idea of opening unlimited space gates within Dawn City.

But overall, the space gate at the Land of Bone-Burying was indeed another trump card in Lide’s hand.

The fact that Grey Stone Castle could remain firmly implanted at the entrance to the underworld facing the endless onslaught of Cave Spiders without a scratch over these past few months, was undeniably due to the enormous logistical support system at its core.

Without Crossbows capable of removing magazines, without continuous bombing from Alchemy Bombs, without various solid equipment and a rich reserve of supplies, Grey Stone Castle could not have withstood the endless assault of Cave Spiders that occupy half a plane.

Dawn City was confronting half a plane with the strength of a single city. And how long had the Cave Spiders existed? Fifty thousand years? A hundred thousand years?

In terms of comprehensive strength, the Cave Spiders were far stronger than Dawn City.

Dawn City relied on its incredible tenacity to forcefully target the Cave Spiders.

“Father God, so many fresh souls, is this all food for me?”

At the moment Lide activated the space gate, Asreaga immediately sensed the tempting souls outside the gate.

The bloodthirsty desire in his eyes stirred.

The presence unique to the Divine Monster once again permeated the Land of Bone-Burying.

The Cow Bone Undead, which had just caught its breath, trembled once more and curled up again, this time the bizarre skeleton dared not even look at Asreaga, as if afraid that the evil being would commit a heaven-defying atrocity.

So scared…

“Father God, at the deepest part of this plane there is a life full of Light Power.

That must be an angel from the Light God System, right?

Father God, I smell weakness in her soul…”

Asreaga turned his gaze towards the White Bone Altar just as Lide was about to open his mouth to explain.

The terrifying aura that made one’s blood run cold intensified.

“She also contains rich divinity… Father God, that is my food…”

Lide’s mouth twitched harshly.

So, you’re not just talking about the humans outside, you want to target that Twelve-winged Blazing Angel too?

If you hadn’t lost your power, maybe it would be feasible, but now… even though injured and asleep, the opponent is a Divine Creature above level 30, capable of killing you in a second if awakened.

“Asreaga, outside is Dawn City, all life there is under my command, they are the foundation of Dawn City’s rise, you must protect them from enemies instead of harming them.”

Lide’s expression grew serious, this Divine Monster was too strong; if it went berserk, no one in Dawn City could control it except him, so it was essential to give a warning.

Hearing this, Asreaga nodded, the bloodthirstiness in his eyes slightly faded.

“Yes, Father God, those are all your personal property, I will protect your food…”

Food? Lide smirked, it seemed the being was not wrong, after all, the Bloodline’s food is indeed blood, although now the residents of Dawn City offered their blood more willingly than anyone…

“The angel within the Land of Bone-Burying was once suppressed by me, she is a Twelve-winged Blazing Angel, a Divine Creature above level 30, and the Seventh War General under the Master of Dawn.

She is still slumbering, but the power within her is not something you can consume.”

He refused Asreaga’s idea mercilessly.

If Lide could consume her, he wouldn’t allow this creature to do so either, after all, she was a Twelve-winged Blazing Angel.

After accumulating more Power of Death, he would be able to hasten his transformation of her.

Compared to this level 19 Divine Monster, a level 30 Blazing Angel fascinated him more.

Only the long conversion time of over ten thousand years had previously dampened his spirits, but after fighting the Cave Spiders and accumulating Power of Death, he saw a chance to transform the Twelve-winged Blazing Angel.

So, no matter whether Asreaga could consume her or not, he would ruthlessly refuse.

Go play by yourself; want to compete with me for an angel? Ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?

And besides, how impressive would it be to bring out an angel; everyone would be envious.

If he carried a Divine Monster with him, it would be like hanging a golden taunting halo around himself; any sane person would want to kill him.

After all, “Divine Monster” was synonymous with destruction, making even an extremely evil being like an Abyss Demon seem dull in comparison.

“Yes, Father God…”

After the Divine Monster’s soul was reshaped by the Power of Faith, it began to obey Lide’s commands unconditionally.

At that moment, Lide also realized this, and with a thought, he stopped observing Asreaga through the Plane Stone and directly communicated his Power of Faith… A moment later, his eyes shifted.

Lide could clearly perceive through his Power of Faith the Spiritual Sea and soul of Asreaga.

Even if he wanted, he could now directly control or erase the other’s soul through the Power of Faith.

This discovery made Lide’s eyes reveal a hint of contemplation.

“My only Divine Art: Soul Assimilation, uses the Power of Faith to forcibly change the soul attribute of the other party to gain their faith, and the soul of Asreaga this time was entirely condensed by the Power of Faith.

Thus, although this Divine Monster hasn’t become a Holy Temple Knight of the Dawn Sect or anything else, I have already mastered his soul.

No wonder the legendary synonym for destruction is so obedient.”

After some reflection, a smile appeared on Lide’s face.

Glory is a real world, so solely studying skills from the attribute panel’s descriptions and explanations would leave many hidden attributes undiscovered, hence further exploration is necessary.

After slightly clarifying his thoughts, Lide waved his hand and opened a Space Gate leading to the office.

Harrison had just sensed a fleeting Divine Monster aura in the Land of Bone-Burying as Lide opened the Space Gate, causing him to shudder.

Though he had great confidence in Lide, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried and stayed in the office without leaving.

The mysterious presence made his heart palpitate.

Seeing Lide emerging again brought a trace of joy to his face, but his expression changed upon seeing Asreaga, the level 19 Divine Monster, appearing behind him.

Danger, extreme danger.

Even just a glance at Asreaga made Harrison’s scalp tingle, and every cell in his body was reminding him of the terror of this being.

“Clan Leader…”

Sensing the undisguised gravity in Harrison’s eyes, Lide revealed a smile.

“Harrison, this is Asreaga… a new member of Dawn City.”

After a brief introduction, he casually added,

“Asreaga is a Divine Monster who survived from the ancient times.”

Gulp.

Harrison, who had been managing the City Hall of Dawn City through countless trials over the years, subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

His eyes, filled with incredulous brightness, stared at the evil presence towering over 9 feet, with double horns on its head and wings on its back.

A Divine Monster?!

This, how is this possible?!

A Divine Monster, that was the extremely evil entity daring to kill even the Divines.

The Clan Leader could even subdue a Divine Monster??

With this thought, Harrison’s eyes revealed a fervent admiration.

Asreaga seemed to sense something, his narrow crimson eyes glanced at him once, but even this simple glance made Harrison feel like his soul had frozen.

Terror, sheer terror!

“Concerning matters of Dawn City, explain them to Asreaga, and also go to the Dawn Mage Tower to find a few mages who can solidify the common language of the continent.

Asreaga currently uses the Ancient Profanity, a language that can even defile the Divines, believe me, you won’t want to hear him speak.”

Harrison took a deep breath, and although he had received many tasks from Lide’s hands before, this was the first time he truly felt pressure.

A pressure emanating from the depths of his soul.

Facing Asreaga made him feel a heartfelt fear, an intimidation from a higher being that was unavoidable.

Although Bloodline was considered an Upper Race, compared to a Divine Monster with divinity, it was still a far cry.

Looking out across Dawn City, except for that Twelve-winged Angel suppressed by the Land of Bone-Burying, only Lide could slightly dominate this Divine Monster.

After all, Lide himself had undergone a Divine Calamity, strong and resilient enough to make knees weak.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

“Asreaga, you and Harrison go down. Remember, this city is my city, the residents aren’t your food. The Underworld will have the souls you need.

Harrison will hand over everything about Dawn City to you, and you must follow Harrison’s orders.”

Lide’s will was a divine decree that Asreaga, a level 19 Divine Monster, couldn’t refuse; he immediately nodded.

“Father God, Asreaga obeys your commands…”

The moment those blasphemous words in the Ancient Profanity echoed within the room, Harrison’s face drastically changed; he even sensed the murderous emotions rushing to his brain, turning his eyes blood-red instantly.

How?!!

He hurriedly took a few deep breaths, and only after Asreaga remained silent did Harrison manage to suppress that killing intent.

When the City Hall chairman recuperated and looked at Asreaga again, his expression became solemn.

This Divine Monster… too powerful.

Lide also noticed Harrison’s earlier state and turned to glance at Asreaga, his eyes filled with some emotion.

This was still a Divine Monster that had lost most of its power. If it were in its prime, how powerful could it be?

And how powerful would the divine being that could kill this Divine Monster be?

Still need to grow… the outside world is full of bosses.

“Asreaga, until you learn the common ‘Glory’ language, you are not allowed to use Ancient Profanity in public,” Lide instructed.

The Divine Monster, sporting two large curved horns, was slightly startled but immediately nodded.

But this time, he remained silent.

Harrison finally sighed in relief and promptly led Asreaga away; although Asreaga made him feel uneasy, any task Lide assigned must be completed immediately regardless of the circumstances.

Watching the two disappear through the door, Lide wore a complex expression.

“Raising a Divine Monster, tsk tsk, feels much more formidable than raising a giant dragon…

The only trouble is that this guy absolutely cannot appear in the Human Empire.

Otherwise, Dawn City would face encirclement and suppression from the entire main Plane of Glory.

Good grief, Asreaga makes enemies with both the Light God System and the Natural Divine System, as well as the Good Camp and Order Camp.

The mocking aura on this guy is definitely maxed out; Withered Bone, the chatterbox, is just like a little brother before Asreaga.

And once his identity as a Divine Monster is exposed, needless to say, even the strongest empire in the central region of the main Plane of Glory would be alarmed.”

Thinking of this, Lide couldn’t help feeling both delighted and troubled.

Asreaga’s strength was undeniable; he would undoubtedly be a super trump card in his hand, and this Divine Monster’s potential was also terrifyingly formidable; with some time to grow, even slaying gods was not an unreachable dream in the future.

But his identity meant he would have to live in the Underworld for a long time and couldn’t appear on the battlefield in the surface world.

If the Undead Clan was considered a public enemy by all life on the main Plane of Glory, then Divine Monsters were fear incarnate.

Because, according to legend, once a Divine Monster appeared, it would destroy the entire Plane, a literal annihilation, these supremely evil beings’ ultimate pursuit being silence in the world; they would tear the Plane apart into nothingness, turning it into chaos.

Even the Undead could not tolerate such extreme madness, which is why Divine Monsters were so feared.

The Bronze Egg had hatched, settling one of Lide’s desires.

But seeing the Power of Death on his attribute panel, which had been accumulated over several months and was now depressingly empty, he couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

“I thought I was going to be rich, but in the blink of an eye, I’m back to square one.

This is really… too hard.”

“And at this rate, when will the Twelve-winged Blazing Angel be successfully converted? A level 30 Divine Being, much tougher than Asreaga.”

The Twelve-winged Blazing Angel had almost become an obsession for him; the scene of forcibly preventing the god from descending to the Bone-Burying Plane had never faded from his mind.

But it was clear that the Twelve-winged Blazing Angel was not coming out any time soon.

“And about upgrading the Land of Bone-Burying from rare to rare, it needs a million Power of Death, and at current rates, should take about a month. But when will my Frost Giant Dragon be recruited?”

Moreover, according to the current situation, recruiting the Frost Giant Dragon would definitely require an astronomical amount of the Power of Death.”

Even hatching an egg consumed over 3 million units of the Power of Death, and even that wasn’t enough, it also required 200,000 units of the Power of Faith. God knows how much Power of Death it would cost to recruit a Frost Giant Dragon, the ultimate life form of the Undead race.

After a moment of thought, Lide couldn’t help but show a wry smile. “This is too difficult.”

He felt his poverty once again.

The bigger the enterprise expanded, the poorer he became.

When Dawn City was first developing, it lacked basic resources such as food, cotton, and steel, but now that it had grown to a point where not even Gold Puck was lacking, it lacked high-level rare resources like the Power of Faith, Power of Death, and Magic Crystal Stone.

He felt like he had never been wealthy.

Thinking about it, Lide suddenly laughed out loud.

“A poor sod who can make a few hundred thousand Gold Pucks a month?”

“Isn’t that a bit too much? I am Little Ma; even though I make hundreds of billions a year, I have no interest in money, I haven’t touched money my whole life…”

“I am Brother Qiang. I have face blindness. I don’t even know if my wife is beautiful…”

“I grew up in an ordinary family…”

“Ten billion is just a moderate amount, let’s set a small target for him first, say, one billion…”

Indeed, on the road to success, one still needs to learn from the tycoons.

Three Sunshine Hours later.

Lide nodded in satisfaction at Asreaga, who had been brought back by Harrison.

“Have you learned the common tongue?”

“Yes, Father God…”

When Asreaga spoke, it was already in the common tongue of Glory, but the strange accent made it a bit uncomfortable.

But however uncomfortable, it was much better in Harrison’s eyes than the Ancient Profanity that Asreaga had spoken before.

That was a terrifying language not bearable by the life on the Main Plane; he could hardly endure it.

Harrison even suspected that this Level 19 Divine Monster, merely reciting the Ancient Profanity in the airspace above a human city, could cause the entire city’s populace to mentally break down.

“Very well, Harrison must have already communicated the basics about Dawn City to you.

We are now conquering the Underworld, and I plan to bring that vast land under my domain.

Currently, the Cave Spiders that occupy half the plane are hindering our progress.

And I need you to fight for me.

Asreaga, are you willing to become the sharp blade of Dawn City, become my spear in hand, become the eternal nightmare of all enemies?!”

Asreaga looked at the domineering and forceful Lide standing before him, his narrow crimson eyes flashing a frenzy.

It was an unconditional trust and worship toward Lide. The loyalty of this Divine Monster, whose soul was reshaped by Lide, was no less than that of anyone else.

“Father God, Asreaga will fight for you with my soul, my divinity, my everything.

One day we will surely kill those filthy, disgusting gods, behead them, shatter their Divine Countries, and devour their believers.

This world will ultimately belong to you—the great Dawn God who masters blood and Bloodline.”

Hearing these fanatical words, Lide’s heart shuddered. “Are you trying to defy the heavens? Wake up; you’re not at Level 20 yet; you’re not the same Divine Monster as before.

If I let you out, it wouldn’t take three days before the churches with immense hidden power would send Legendary fighters to kill you, and some of those ancient Demigods might even show themselves.

“Asreaga, follow me, you will become my sharpest spear in conquering the Underworld.”

Fortunately, the Underworld hasn’t been conquered yet; deploying the Divine Monster there is making the most out of him. No worries about him being discovered.

Moreover, Asreaga’s Extremely Evil Talent—able to devour all negative energy to permanently increase his strength—suitably fits the current state of the Underworld.

This talent has a knack similar to the Bloodline’s growth through devouring fresh blood.

Of course, the potential of this Divine Monster is definitely higher than an average member of the Bloodline.

“Yes, Father God…”
