Chapter 786: Demon-slaying? God-slaying! (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The evil thoughts within him quickly grew.
The God of Decay intensified the pressure of his presence. Since that’s the case, he would complete the unfinished business today and thoroughly destroy this power!
Ji Chen’s face tightened, feeling the sudden surge of pressure, he didn’t hesitate to bring out the assets he had on hand.
[Ring of Mithril], [Charged Ring], [Deep Sea Dragon Scale Robe], [Royal Griffin Knight Emblem]…
The treasures Ji Chen acquired early on boosted his strength in different ways, but their abilities were quite limited. When faced with the overwhelming force of the God of Decay’s avatar, they couldn’t hold up and ended up exploding, leaving behind nothing but useless powder.
Only the Void Ring and the Abyssal Trident (Demon Slayer), high-level equipment, remained resilient, stubbornly resisting. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The God of Decay, seeing that his oppressive force couldn’t immediately overwhelm Ji Chen, frowned.
He hesitated for a moment.
He wasn’t descending in his original form but as a specially cultivated avatar.
Its power was less than one-thousandth of its original self, which allowed it to briefly manifest in the main realm.
If he excessively used his power and exposed himself, he risked being repelled again by the reactive barrier of rules.
After weighing his options, he decided to increase the intensity, to kill this human in its infancy and prevent further growth.
If it took just one year to reach the Epic Tier, wouldn’t he ascend to godhood in a thousand years?
“Insect, give up resistance. In my presence, you have no chance of escape.”
The God of Decay spoke to Ji Chen for the first time, his words dripping with sarcasm.
The difference between gods and mortals was immense. Even for powerful beings like the Five Demon Lords, who were among the top-tier Epic beings, compared to a god, even a lower-ranking one, they were as insignificant as rabbits. And beings of the Epic Tier were merely like insects, easily squashed without much effort.
Power equated to authority, and for beings who failed to understand this principle, they were overwhelmed and defeated.
However, this human before him, despite possessing the power of the ocean, only had a fraction of it. The complete version of the ocean’s power ranked among the top in the Mid-Tier abilities.
As for Marldonis, the Corrosion Authority in his hands was also just a fragmented version, greatly diminished in potency. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed a potentially dangerous force, capable of threatening him, to be wielded by a non-divine entity.
Ji Chen remained indifferent to his words, echoing his previous sentiment towards the undead demon lord.
“You talk too much.”
“Lowly insect, feel the wrath of the gods!”
The sky filled with gray particles. First, the dark clouds turned gray-white, then quickly dissipated. Everything around turned gray-white as if the world had become monochrome.
The gray particles domineeringly turned everything around them into shades of gray, effortlessly dispelling the power neglected by the Corrosion Authority.
The latter retreated like a hand that had touched hot oil, although it resisted reluctantly, it could only shrink back into the body of the Undead Lord. The power gap between them was too great. One was ranked thirty in the mid-tier, and the other was ranked nineteen in the mid-tier. One was incomplete, and the other was complete.
The deity unleashed his inherent authority, its power unimaginable.
Ji Chen stared tightly at the gray mist gathering like a swarm of locusts, shaking his head gently.
“I told you, you talk too much.”
His weaponless left hand rose at some point, emitting a dazzling purple light and a terrifying burst of energy.
The God of Decay stared at the purple light, stunned, then suddenly exclaimed.
“Thunder Authority!?”
This human still possessed a second type of authority?
His body trembled involuntarily, even his main body at the boundary shivered in fear.
The Thunder Authority ranked seventh among the mid-tier forty-eight authorities, governing thunder. But in terms of destructive power alone, it easily ranked among the top five. More importantly, the Thunder Authority was primarily about destruction, which posed significant harm to dark deities like them.
The Undead Lord below was already stunned. This human actually possessed a second authority? And it was the Thunder Authority, ranked in the top ten!?
Damn it, no wonder he dared to come even knowing about the trap. So that was it!
The lightning in his hand gradually spread, casting Ji Chen’s face in a colder light, his gaze devoid of joy or sorrow.
With a thought, thousands of thunderbolts erupted from his palm, flashing like spring thunder across the sky. The gray-white particles only blocked them for a moment before being overwhelmed like an avalanche.
The scent of destruction spread, driving away the decaying power.
The avatar of the God of Decay struggled amidst countless thunderbolts, unable to escape, or perhaps not even considering escape, because he knew he couldn’t escape under the Thunder Authority.
“Insect, I’ll remember you!”
All he could do was leave behind a hateful remark before his avatar was shattered by the thunder, dissipating into a cloud of ash.
Ji Chen remained expressionless, then turned to the now stupefied Undead Lord.
“You’re next.”
The Undead Lord trembled and, without looking back, fled into the distance.
“Shura Skeletons, stop them!”
The remaining Shura Skeletons, reluctant but compelled by the command, began to move involuntarily.
From the moment they became subordinates of the Undead Lord, their bodies and souls no longer belonged to themselves, merely puppets manipulated by others.
Ji Chen didn’t even bother to look at them, casually unleashing several bolts of lightning that sent them crashing heavily to the ground, enveloped in thunderous light.
Then, he chased after the fleeing Undead Lord.
It was better to pursue the remaining to hunt down this desperate foe.
If not now, then when would he slay the Undead Lord?
To lure Ji Chen into the trap, the Undead Lord specifically chose this archipelago, surrounded on three sides by vast oceans, with a considerable distance to the southern mainland.
Yet, this not-so-long stretch of sea became his biggest obstacle to escape at this moment.
The faint sound of thunder flashing from behind seemed like a death knell, terrifying Maldonis. At this moment, he had long abandoned any thoughts of turning back to resist.
If even the avatar of the God of Decay was shattered, what effective resistance could he offer?
But the ocean was Ji Chen’s domain. He quickly caught up and decisively drowned the fleeing Undead Lord in thunder.
He adhered to the idea of strike while the iron is hot.
Thunder continued to burst forth, one after another, the sky flickering incessantly. Though there was no downpour, the thunder roared continuously.
It wasn’t until the system prompt of killing the Undead Lord sounded in his ears that Ji Chen stopped.

“Ding- You have slain the Undead Lord: Maldonis (Above Epic), level up (67- 68).”
Ji Chen was slightly stunned and checked his records.
“Ding- You have slain the avatar of the God of Decay, level up (64—67)-” Killing the avatar of the God of Decay raised his level by three, while killing the Undead Lord raised it by two, not as much as when he killed the Dreadlord before. However, considering the increasing difficulty of leveling up at higher levels, this was understandable..
