Chapter 3380: Return
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Finally!
The God Clan had returned!
During these three days, the surviving church leaders had either surrendered to the so-called Shadow God or, like them, hidden in the ruins scattered across the city, secretly preparing to strike back.
Finally!
Daybreak had come!
"Everyone, rise,"
Eugene suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what happened during these three days?"
A bishop hurried forward, his voice carrying some unease. "A god claiming to be the Shadow God descended and massacred your people. Threatened by the Shadow God, many church members were forced to feign surrender."
"The Shadow God’s power was terrifying. We simply could not resist. As you can see, large parts of the city were covered by fungal mats, and the Shadow God’s subordinates, the vampires, continued to slaughter your believers relentlessly..."
"Bastard!"
Eugene’s anger flared instantly, an invisible coercion radiating out, pressing the church members around him to the point of suffocation.
"He is looking for death!"
When had the God Clan ever suffered such humiliation?
"Eugene, calm down,"
Vera quietly urged from the side.
Previously, they were unsure who their enemy truly was.
Now, it seemed almost certain the enemy was related to the Seed of Ouroboros.
Eugene forced down his anger and cast a cold glance at the kneeling church members. "Where is he? Where is he now?"
"In the Netherworld,"
The bishop reported softly, "The Shadow God recently occupied all the church temples, completely sealing them off. The Shadow God and his subordinates have remained in the three central church temples. We learned that most of the time, he used the church teleportation passages to enter the Netherworld..."
Netherworld?
Eugene and the other God Clan members exchanged glances, each seeing a heavy seriousness in the other’s eyes.
A bad premonition surged in their hearts.
Strange — why would the Seed of Ouroboros be interested in the Netherworld?
Perhaps their true target all along had been the Netherworld?
"Let’s go! To the temples!"
They transformed into streams of light, flying swiftly toward the church temples of the Central Divine Kingdom.
...
Central Church.
When the five God Clan members arrived, the rebellious church forces had already taken back control of the temples.
Upon learning of the God Clan’s return, the church forces that had been hiding in the shadows almost fully mobilized and launched a counterattack against the Shadow God’s followers.
Strangely, the resistance from the Shadow God’s subordinates was extremely weak — so weak it was almost nonexistent.
As a result, the situation was quickly brought back under control.
The bishop in charge of the occupied church, Kel, immediately led people forward to greet them. "Welcome back, God Clan."
"Where is Adam?"
"We have asked around. Earlier today, Adam and the Shadow God’s group entered the Netherworld through the temple descent passages and have not emerged since."
The five God Clan members exchanged glances once again.
As expected!
The Seed of Ouroboros was here for the Netherworld!
But the situation was still under control.
The entire Netherworld seal was controlled by the God Realm, and at least before their teleportation descent, the God Realm had not detected any alarm signals from the Netherworld.
There was still a chance to turn things around.
Vera asked, "How has the Netherworld situation been recently?"
The bishop reported, "As far as I know, it’s bad. Many temples have triggered anomaly alarms. We just reclaimed control of several temples but haven’t yet had time to enter the Netherworld for a thorough inspection."
Eugene scanned the surroundings, his gaze gathering on the teleportation array at the Netherworld passage.
Last time, he had been too careless: all three had entered the spiritual world, causing their main bodies outside to be ambushed by the Shadow God and heavily injured. Afterwards, even their spiritual bodies suffered great backlash while trying to leave the spiritual world.
That was why they had been pushed back to the God Realm by the Shadow God.
So this time, was the enemy planning to use the same trick?
No.
The Netherworld was different.
Entry was made through physical bodies.
Vera quietly said, "Eugene, they might have set a trap in the Netherworld. Instead of dispersing our strength, it’s better to gather and enter the Netherworld together."
"Well said. Let’s go see what tricks they are playing in the Netherworld!"
...
Netherworld.
Outside a temple.
Over twenty beams of holy light descended.
Eugene raised his head, looking toward the temple shrouded in an undead aura, his eyes filled with wrath.
The temple’s seal had been broken!
Vera whispered, "They came prepared. Be careful."
In the Netherworld, their power would be greatly suppressed.
"Hmph! Let’s go inside and see."
Insignificant ants!
Even in the Netherworld, so what?
Eugene strode forward, releasing ripples of holy power.
Domain power radiated outward.
The undead aura that blanketed the surroundings was forcibly separated by the sacred domain, creating a region densely condensed with holy power.
Entering the temple, Eugene and the others walked toward the center until they reached a stone tablet.
Eugene looked up at the stone tablet.
The seal had been completely undone.
But no sign of Adam was found nearby.
Instead, a faint aura lingered around.
The Seed of Ouroboros!
What were they planning?
Vera communicated quietly through mental strength to the other God Clan members, "They may be hiding in the shadows. The Netherworld environment prevents us from pinpointing their exact location. Let’s try to lure them out."
Eugene barely nodded, reaching out toward the central stone tablet.
"Buzz..."
The stone tablet trembled slightly under the influence of the holy aura, releasing thick black fog.
A massive shadow condensed above the stone tablet.
Countless Netherworld evil spirits formed a body before everyone’s eyes.
"Roar!!"
The Soul Binder let out a piercing soul howl, unleashing a dark death wave that spread instantly outward!
"Hmph!"
Eugene snorted coldly and stepped forward.
With his step, a scorching beam of holy light materialized and radiated outward, colliding fiercely with the death wave.
"Boom!!!"
The aftershock of intertwined light and darkness exploded.
Dark red chains erupted from the Soul Binder’s body, stabbing toward Eugene.
"Bang! Bang bang!!!"
The chains repeatedly struck the God Clan’s holy shield and were repelled.
"Roar!!"
Seeing both his attacks unable to affect the God Clan, the Soul Binder let out another chilling scream.
At the same time, dense evil spirits rose from the ground all around.
Eugene remained standing, a look of disdain on his face.
Wave after wave of evil spirits charged at him, but before they could get close, the sacred domain surrounding him burned them to ashes.
"Attack! Seal it first."
Eugene nodded at the others nearby, and they immediately surged forward, forming a pentagram shape around the Soul Binder.
