Chapter 44: The Abyssal Plane, Terrifying Demons
The commander of the Thunder God Army was not only called the Thunder God because of his abilities, but also because of his main god weapon—the Thunder God’s Hammer.
It was said that it could be used to mobilize the thunder energy in the deep space of the universe to help the owner of the Thunder God’s Hammer fight.
And the Thunder God’s hammer that Sullo had obtained was only a replica, its quality a quarter of the original thing.
Whether it was attack power or an increase in attributes, it couldn’t be compared to the real Thunder God’s Hammer.
However, it could also greatly increase his own lightning output. He could even extract some of the thunder energy in the sky to replenish it. The effect could be considered pretty good.
Many veteran Thunder God captains were very envious of the replica of the Thunder God’s Hammer.
Just as the Thunder God squad was feeling amazed that their captain had obtained this treasure…
On Sullo’s side, a change suddenly occurred once he placed the hammer into his divine domain for safe-keeping.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained a middle-grade divine weapon, the imitation Thunder God’s Hammer, triggering a thousand-fold amplification effect. You have now obtained a middle-grade sovereign weapon—the Thunder God’s Hammer.]
A pitch-black hammer with rough workmanship and two streaks of lightning surrounding it suddenly exploded forth.
Lightning surged within the deity’s domain. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, uncountable amounts of lightning energy surging towards the hammer.
In an instant, the five great believer races of the entire deity’s domain, including the Divine Domain Snakes, the World Trees, the Gold Beamons, the Holy Spirit Humans, and the twelve-winged Holy Angels who had just been assigned to the Heavenly Star, were all alarmed.
“Great God! Your humble believers beseech you, please take a breather from the wrath of lightning…”
“We have sinned and offended the god. This is a punishment from the god…”
“Merciful God! Are you blaming our faith for not being devout enough?”
Seeing this scene, Sullo could not help but feel angry and amused.
He sent a thought into the divine domain, a vast voice resounding in the world.
“You are all innocent. Disperse!”
Only now did the boundless lightning bolts finally disperse.
A silver hammer wrapped in lightning appeared before Sullo’s thought.
“All the lightning laws can be doubled in effect? And now I can draw on lightning essence in the universe to replenish the lightning energy I’ve used? Hiss! Isn’t this the main god weapon of the Thunder God Army? Only the true Thunder God’s Hammer should have this effect!
“Legend has it that the Thunder God’s Hammer is unique, but I actually managed to create another one. This is such a huge gamble. It’s just that I wonder, between my Thunder God’s Hammer and the Thunder God’s Hammer of the Thunder God Army, which is stronger?”
The Thunder God’s Hammer was the symbol of the Thunder God Army. Whoever controlled the Thunder God’s Hammer would be able to command the Thunder God Army.
This wasn’t just a sovereign artifact, it was also a scepter-like treasure.
However, Sullo was also very clear that with his current strength, he simply wasn’t strong enough to possess such a sovereign artifact.
As the saying went, there couldn’t be two tigers in one mountain, unless there was a male and a female.
If the outside world were to find out that he possessed a second Thunder God’s Hammer…
The current commander of the Thunder God Army would probably be the first to jump out and kill him.
Fortunately, the Thunder God’s Hammer could still disguise itself. As long as it wasn’t used in front of some true experts, it wouldn’t be recognized.
Sullo secretly made up his mind. Unless he had no other choice, he would definitely not use the Thunder God’s Hammer in any situation.
Just as Sullo was thinking about this, the voice from the logistics department interrupted his train of thought.
“Captain Sullo, just three months ago, the Frost Abyss invaded one of our planes. The third Thunder God Army Team you belong to is currently engaged in a bloody battle with the demon army at the front line.
“Now that you’ve passed the test and officially become a member of the Thunder God Army, you and your team will be transferred to the front line battlefield to participate in the battle there.
“I have to warn you that those demons are very terrifying. They are different from all the gods that you have seen. Among the same level, the demon gods are even more powerful.
“This is also the reason why the Thunder God Army was formed. Firstly, it is because thunder can restrain the demons. Secondly, we need geniuses who can fight beyond their level in order to restrain the demons’ attacks. Now, do you still insist on joining the Thunder God Army?”
Upon hearing the news of the Abyssal Plane and the Demon Army, the entire Thunder God squad could not help but breathe heavily.
All 15 pairs of eyes were focused on Sullo as if everyone was waiting for his decision.
The logistics officer quietly looked at Sullo, a faint smile on his face as he did not urge him any further.
Sullo looked around to the faces looking at his, smiled, and said two words, “Of course!”
The abyssal plane was actually the divine domain of the gods or a world formed after countless years of evolution after the fall of some primitive planes.
For example, when Sullo had just established his divine domain, the primitive plane had been destroyed by him and the instructors of the academy.
After countless years, it was possible for an Abyssal Plane to form.
Such a place was dark and devoid of light and lacked resources. It was very difficult for any living creature to survive.
However, after countless years of evolution and elimination, some special creatures would be born in the Abyssal Plane.
These creatures struggled to survive in the abyss. In order to fight for the pitiful resources, they had to fight with others every day.
In the end, only one in ten thousand could survive.
It was such a cruel environment that eventually forged some very terrifying creatures, which were collectively known as demons by all the divine civilizations.
They were powerful and incomparably cruel.
It was rumored that wherever the demons passed by, not even a blade of grass remained.
All resources would be snatched by the demons, and all living creatures would be devoured.
Any god-level civilization would hate these demons to the extreme.
It was possible that the demons that could survive in such a terrifying place like the abyss just happened to be extremely powerful.
Among those of the same level, the strength of the demons far surpassed that of other creatures.
For example, a three-star lower God would almost certainly die when facing a god-level demon of the same level.
If one wanted to defeat a three-star lower god-level demon, one would need to be at least a four-star God to act.
However, they could only be defeated, not killed.
The demon’s survival ability and battle will were truly too strong.
Even if they were on their last breaths, they would definitely not give up their courage to fight and their determination to flee for their lives.
From this, it could be seen just how terrifying these demons from the Abyssal Plane were.
When they received Sullo’s confirmation, the Thunder God squad was both happy and worried.
A second ago, their faces were still full of eagerness.
But in the blink of an eye, they were now tinged with fear.
Obviously, they were both eager to go to the front line to make a contribution but were afraid of the demons’ strength. That was why they had such a complicated expression.
Meanwhile, a gratified look appeared on the logistics officer’s face.
“Haha! Good, only such figures are qualified to join our Thunder God’s Army. Let’s go! I’ll send you to the front line now…”
