Chapter 476: Chapter 274 Perfect Kill! The Mastermind Behind the Scenes!

Perhaps curious about who the true mastermind was, even the Sun God had lightened his actions.

The Dwarf King didn’t care; if his life was truly at an end, his hatred would definitely not be directed at the divinities of Teraxil before him.

Fortunately, those two Gray Dwarves were already gone, dead without ever realizing that they had actually made contact with Gray Dwarf territory, only to be intercepted by a restless princess. She not only came looking for trouble herself but was even keener on seeing these useless Gray Dwarves wiped out.

"You speak so nicely~" A skinny figure appeared at the top of the furnace, "Yet I didn’t see any reluctance when your people were sacrificing themselves to summon me, did I?"

"Greed is simply in the nature of the Golden Dwarves." The Dwarf King didn’t care in the least, "It was you who deceived me, causing the pointless sacrifice of my people and the decline of divine power!"

In his eyes, those people were merely tools for providing Faith Power.

This is what defines the Evil Faction, not a villain in a romance novel who commits countless sins yet still retains a sliver of goodness.

Hill couldn’t help but sigh in relief; it was a good thing he hadn’t been reborn in the Abyss.

The dwarf on top of the furnace was somewhat stunted in growth, practically a gnome.

His attire was a strange mix of white, grey, and black swirling together in a long robe. His white, lifeless eyes were so large that they took up half his face, frighteningly ugly.

"You are not a living being! What are you? Evil! An enemy of life!" The Sun God roared furiously.

"Ah? I am a Lich, an immortal and undying Lich. Hehe~" The scrawny Dwarf’s voice was shrill as he laughed, "In this world, death is still the complete end; there is no realm of the dead! How uninteresting, even powerful spellcasters are doomed to total annihilation!

Those naive fools, believing that killing can grant immortality!

Only by following me can one attain eternal life!

Alas, I was just one step away—if you hadn’t dealt with it earlier, the Mages’ Association would have been all mine!

The spells I taught them were powerful, weren’t they?"

Before the echo of his words faded, Draculus couldn’t restrain himself any longer and cast ’Meteor Burst.’ A series of burning meteors smashed towards the culprit who had ruined the Mages’ Association.

Draculus truly didn’t care about the survival of the Mages’ Association, but that didn’t mean he was indifferent to someone causing trouble over his head.

Had it not been for this what Lich, the Mages’ Association, though somewhat corrupt, would never have fallen to the point where half its members were so depraved as to turn toward the path of Demons.

He quickly understood; there was no afterlife, so it was impossible to become a Lich like this creature.

Therefore, those idiots tempted by immortality had ended up becoming Demons.

Draculus might not have known exactly what a Lich was, but he was well aware that most mages had fairly low moral standards; their powerful abilities had long led many to see themselves as a different species from ordinary people.

Thus, if they were told that killing could grant them immortality, at least half of the mages wouldn’t hesitate.

The Lich’s robe shimmered, and a vortex swallowed all of Draculus’s attacks.

Fran beside Hill took a light breath; regardless of how unbearable his personality was, Draculus was still the most powerful mage in the world.

"Ah!" The Lich exclaimed in surprise; while his mind was preoccupied resisting Draculus, the God of Time and Space summoned countless tiny spatial cracks above him and his furnace artifact.

The Lich managed to block the attacks aimed at himself but couldn’t protect the entire Furnace Artifact.

Suddenly, the Dwarf King bellowed, "Where are my people? Why do I not sense a single one, even with the lid opened?"

"Of course, I killed them all!" The Lich said nonchalantly, "You’re still so stupid to think I’d recruit a bunch of brutes as my followers?"

"You came for the Furnace, Dylinka!" the Dwarf King’s teeth ground together with a grating sound, "Why did Moradin only expel you?"

"Of course, it was for the Furnace." Dylinka touched the artifact he was sitting on, "I had no idea before coming that this world belonged to the World Tree, that this broken planet had anything precious.

Unfortunately, although you Dwarves aren’t too bright, your strength is quite formidable. Even if this avatar of mine could kill you all, I still couldn’t lay my hands on the Furnace Artifact!

Luckily, you were dumb enough to sacrifice your own people! The Furnace is the racial treasure of the Golden Dwarves—it would, of course, abandon trash like you who betrayed your own people.

Ah, such a pity. I was just a little bit away from getting a World Tree artifact!"

"What do you plan to do with Teraxil?" asked the God of Time and Space coldly.

"This Furnace has everything going for it, except it’s a bit ugly. If I could merge it with a World Tree, it would surely become a more perfect artifact!

What a pity, these Dwarves are so useless!

And those Elves! Coron’s children, each one more cunning than the last, so why on earth is the one in this world such a simpleton!

I offered him countless ways to kill all the native life on this planet, to make the Elves the supreme rulers!

Yet, he insists on preserving the Neutral Faction, not daring to make a move!

It’s such a waste. I had hoped to let him exterminate all life, then perish alongside the Dwarves!

Such a perfect ending, and it failed because he was too stupid, truly disappointing!"

The Dwarf King suddenly shouted, his followers desperately holding back the gods of Teraxil.

With the situation turning out somewhat unexpected, even the gods of Teraxil were slightly distracted and actually allowed the frantic Dwarves to delay them for a few seconds.

The Dwarf King seized the opportunity to rush toward the furnace, plunging without hesitation at the sneering Dylinka.

In his hand, Dylinka held a small, white magic wand, pointing it at the Dwarf King and casting a slow halo.

From behind him, five peculiar magic lines shot out, three aiming at the besieging God of Time and Space, Sun God, and Agleya.

One stole the Moon Halo flung from a distance by the Goddess of the Silvermoon.

Another one protected his perimeter, blocking the unending spells of the Legendary Mages.

Hill had not unleashed a tornado; although the furnace was large, the lich’s stature was too diminutive.

Agleya was also attacking with an ice sword.

Hill had a feeling that the God of Time and Space was holding back a powerful spell, as even though his spatial cracks and space dragons were fierce, they were nearly as effective as Agleya’s attacks.

Thus, he drew twelve thin swords, letting them dance around the area while he, too, summoned ice swords to strike like Agleya.

It seemed the Legendary Mages had all realized that this lich was indeed an Evil God adept in magic.

Their spell attacks gradually turned into physical assaults; pure elemental attacks were no longer utilized.

Except for Fran, he was actually employing some light magic.

Hill didn’t even know when his maternal grandfather had learned this type of Holy Magic.

Suddenly, the Dwarf King cried out again, "Don’t get close to him, it’s poison!"

The Goddess of the Silvermoon looked strangely at the now deranged Chief Dwarf God, who was desperately trying to break free from the slow spell.

Hill didn’t know what the goddess was thinking, but in any case, she lent a hand to the Dwarf King, rescuing him from the spell.

As the Dwarf King charged forward, all the Legends and Deities quickly got out of his way.

Although Dylinka was his most hated enemy, the Divine Mages of Teraxil were also foes of the Dwarf King, and no one knew if he might go mad en route and attempt to dispatch the passersby.

However, the intensity with which the Gods and Legends attacked Dylinka suddenly increased—they needn’t worry about what the Dwarf King intended to do; the enemy had to be annihilated!

The Dwarf King charged towards the lich: "Let’s die together, bastard!"

Dylinka suddenly let out a heh heh and then, with a wave of his robe, appeared ready to cast some sort of teleportation spell.

"Ah?" However, he only let out a gasp of surprise before going still, directly meeting the intense explosion from the Dwarf King’s self-detonation.

Hill’s eyes widened as he directed the twelve thin swords to dive together.

Along with the Light Arrow spell unleashed by the Sun God, who knows how many arrows simultaneously pierced the small, blasted body of Dylinka.

With the Light of Illumination blazing fiercely, Dylinka’s incarnate slowly turned to ash.

In the end, everything concluded in a thunderous explosion.

The Furnace Artifact, for some unknown reason, also exploded into fragments.

Hill turned to look and saw that the Human Deities had already slain the desperate Dwarven Gods.

Perhaps because the tribe of the Golden Dwarves had been completely exterminated, the racial artifacts also lost their reason for existence and self-destructed along with them.

Hill picked up a fragment that fell by his foot, purified it, and tucked it away.

"What spell was that just now?" Hill heard the bearded Legend asking Draculus.

"Something like a pause in time, perhaps?" Underneath Draculus’s seemingly unconcerned tone, there was a deep sense of apprehension.

They had all become accustomed to treating the God of Time and Space as merely a spatial god, forgetting how powerful a law time was.

Compared to other deities, the God of Time and Space posed a greater threat that others feared over that of the Legendary Mages.

A large shard was brought before Hill, who chuckled and used a Purification Technique on it.

Fran was pleased to collect the purified fragment.

Fran, with Hill in tow, bypassed the whispering circle of Legendary Mages and walked up to Agleya, who was observing the still-burning ruins.

"Dad Hill!" Agleya suddenly brightened up, "Was I very impressive today?"

Hill bent down to address the Little Sea God, "Today’s Agleya was incredibly strong! True to the Sea God! Teraxil’s seas will surely belong to you! In the future, I’ll also rely on Agleya’s protection!"

Agleya squinted her eyes and smiled, "Of course! Dad Hill will always be safe at sea! The ocean will never harm Dad Hill!"

Hill could feel a wave of coolness in his Mental Sea; Agleya had grown so powerful that she could now be compared with the Sun God and Goddess of the Silvermoon, her blessing now recognized as a Main God’s blessing by the World’s Will.

Hill turned to look at Fran, "Agleya has grown stronger."

Fran understood what Hill meant; the World’s Will had begun its distribution of divine rewards.

"Has Agleya aged a few years?" Fran examined the Little Sea God closely, then suddenly burst into laughter.
