Chapter 677: Godlike
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
Inside the pitch-black Molten Domain.
The intense fight was still underway.
But over the course of a short three minutes, the situation of the battle had gradually become clear.
Marvin's state of having to just passively defend had completely reversed after he learnt how to use Shadow Fire and then formed the Shadow Blades.
And the additional power granted by Ruler of Shadows was no joke. With his attributes doubled, Marvin was clearly stronger than a Mid God!
And the halo of the Child of the Plane allowed him to completely disregard all Laws, while his imperturbable willpower let him easily resist the mental attacks of the Molten Archdevil.
All his weak points had been complemented and his strong points strengthened.
The stone avatar simply couldn't keep up with Marvin's enhanced Post-Godly Dexterity!
"Woosh!"
The daggers made of Shadow Fire cut the stone figure's arm once again, almost slashing down the neck on the way!
Despite the enemy having such powerful regenerative ability, Marvin wasn't worried at all.
He paid attention to what cards the opponent held while continuously attacking him with a certain steady rhythm.
The battle seemed to have already been settled.
The aura of the Molten Archdevil's avatar clearly seemed weaker than it should have been. This might have been due to him suffering an injury before being driven out of the Molten Hell. The injury he suffered wasn't light either.
Diross and Marvin, this grandfather-grandson pair, were both fierce. One was dealing with the main body while the other took care of the avatar. They were completely annihilating the Molten Clan.
Many people were already thinking about Marvin's earlier offer.
With Marvin's currently identity and status, he naturally wouldn't just say something like that for no reason.
There was definitely an important reason for him to want to find that young boy.
They began trying to recall the appearance of that boy, but strangely, some of them couldn't remember his appearance despite the fact that they could just moments ago!
And these people weren't ordinary mortals!
They were Divine Servants or Apostles with Divine Blessings. For something to be interfering with their memories, there could only be one explanation: This boy that Marvin was looking for was extremely powerful!
He must be using some ways to alter the memory of his appearance, making others recall a blurry face instead.
For this kind of ability to affect those gathered, his power should be on the level of the Gods.
Upon realizing this, many of the Divine Servants who had enmity with Marvin suddenly felt their hearts sink.
Marvin's strength kept changing their understanding of Feinan.
They originally thought that after all the Plane Guardians died, they would be able to do whatever they wanted in Feinan.
They didn't expect Marvin to be so shocking!
He killed the forces of three Gods on his own, and he wasn't losing to the Molten Archdevil's Avatar. Even if he had no aid, he probably would have been okay, but without him saying a single word, Feinan's Legends gathered before the forces of the entire Universe!
The strength still left in Feinan had been greatly underestimated.
'It looks like… the return of the Gods won't be as simple as the prophecy foretold.'
A Divine Servant inwardly sighed, 'This Marvin, if he keeps growing, he will definitely soon be the new generation Plane Guardian!'
'Unfortunately, the truly powerful ones are fighting that Astral Beast. Only after they take care of that threat would they be able to do anything about Marvin.'
And everyone couldn't help being worried.
Marvin's rate of growth was unprecedented. In a mere six months, he reached the level of power that a Half-Plane Guardian would have. He also had the support of the famous Goddess of Truth and the tyrannical Lord of Hell Diross. If it turned out that the Gods couldn't deal with him, who could?
If he wasn't killed now, then after growing some more, wasn't it possible that he could end up becoming the next Nicholas?
After all, even the Gods had to admit that if the Great Elven King hadn't received that earlier grievous injury, causing his strength to weaken, he wouldn't have died so easily outside the Universe Magic Pool. His strength was great enough to defeat any of the New Gods in a duel, apart from the Three Great Gods!
Before everyone realized it, the First Mountain Range thoroughly turned into Marvin's stage.
Everyone looked silently at the Molten Domain, watching as Marvin's sturdy body cut through the air, slowly chipping away at the Molten Archdevil!
His dagger techniques had reached the pinnacle, and his moves were only trained to take human lives. The Molten Archdevil's body was sturdy, but it was only an avatar. Marvin's moves were like gradually boiling a frog with warm water. When facing an opponent with such immense vitality, there was no need to focus on killing them quickly. It would actually be better to slowly weaken them. As long as one was patient enough to remain single-mindedly devoted to the task at hand and not make any errors, the final outcome would be perfect.
Because of the Laws of Hell, even if someone wanted to charge in to help the Molten Archdevil, it would be impossible.
Moreover, with powerful allies like the Copper Dragon or the Blade Master near Marvin, most wouldn't even be able to think about approaching the Molten Domain.
The group from the Astral Sea was in a daze.
The Berserk God's mien was particularly grim, and his grip on his hammer kept tightening. Just looking at him, one might think that he was trying to keep his anger in check, but only he knew that what he couldn't keep suppressed was the fear of those blade techniques!
As a God, he had lived for too long, and was now very afraid of death.
Over the years, he had gone on rampages in various parts of the Universe while relying on the name of the War God, and no one dared to stand against him.
But he met a different type this time. He could see true killing intent in the eyes of Kangen.
Each slash frightened him. Whether it was in pure physical strength or its power with the Laws, both exceeded the limitations of mankind.
He was truly one of the [Godlike]!
Those so-called Godlike were a group of extraordinary Humans. In all of Feinan's history, they were very rarely seen. They used some unknown methods to forcibly break through the limitations of the Human body, gaining the ability to contend against the Gods. They weren't Plane Guardians, and they also didn't draw support from the Fate Tablets. Instead, they accomplished this through their own perseverance and willpower!
Blade Master Kangen was such an example of a fierce and unfathomable Godlike.
As other people saw it, Kangen and Professor were the same, both with fighting strength at the level of Half-Plane Guardians. But in the eyes of the Berserk God, who had been locked in combat with him, Kangen actually far exceeded those at the level of Professor, Eve, and Marvin. The strength of the latter two was incredibly shocking, but was in part due to the unique weapons they held, while the former was simply frightening.
'It's been so many years since a Godlike appeared…'
The Berserk God's mood was complicated. 'If at that time, with my talents, I had resisted the temptation, could I have become like him?'
But there was no "if". Many years ago, in the 3rd Era, he didn't listen to his elder brother's warning and directly used the Fate Tablet Fragment to ascend, brushing aside the idea of freedom on the way.
And now, he stood in front of a true Godlike. Besides respect and fear, he also felt some inexplicable jealousy deep in his heart!
Despite so, the Berserk God still didn't choose to fight.
Taking advantage of Marvin and the Molten Archdevil fighting, he slowly diluted his aura through the First Mountain Range.
But a voice suddenly echoed beside his ear.
"Want to run?"
"I did say that I didn't have many close friends. You Gods killed one, so I'll get some interest first."
"This shall be the gift that I deliver to the War God."
As these words were uttered, a fierce blade pierced through space and ruthlessly cut the Divine Source of the Berserk God just as he was about to flee!
"Aaaaaaaah!"
The mournful howl spread throughout the entire First Mountain!
