Chapter 909 - Mysterious God
GDK 909: Mysterious God
Yarus, Darkwater, and Darkstone had long stopped fighting. They kowtowed on the ground as a familiar aura of divinity emanating from the sky filled their humbled hearts.
A death-like trance seized upon every living being in the City of Gorging Clouds. Every god in the city stopped whatever they were doing and instinctively kowtowed with respect and fear.
The city had sunken into absolute darkness and silence as though all the world was dead and cold; as though there was no night or day, but only darkness. The concentration of the darkness element in the environment became a few hundred times more intense than usual and all other elements had been displaced.
The elements of darkness had been converging above the Broadhurst Residence and grew more and more intense at a frightful velocity. And soon, a massive figure with an indistinct outline was formed. A divine aura of pure austerity, dignity, and magnificence erupted and it caused many to awe and tremble.
“Yarus, Darkwater, Darkstone. Let go of your grievances. You are all City Lords of My Dominion. Do not fight among yourselves over a matter so small, “ a deep, reprimanding voice sounded from the sky. It was not advice but a command that was to be obeyed.
The three who were fighting each other to death immediately replied affirmatively in respectful manners.
Yarus then raised his head and gazed at the colossal figure made of pure darkness energy. He respectfully requested, “My Overlord, Hofs and Wallace have just been killed. The one they call Bryan is a great menace to Your Dominion. Even I could not defeat him. My Overgod, please put an end to his existence!”
“I’m aware. He will not return to My Dominion. But if he does, I will end him,” replied the colossal figure in the sky. Then, It instructed Yarus, “Relay My commands: Andre of the Sainte House will be the City Lord of the City of Shadows; Felder of the Lavers House will be the City Lord of Hushveil City.”
Yarus was stunned and puzzled. He did not understand why the Darkness Overgod did not kill Han Shuo. From Yarus’ point of view, even though Han Shuo had disappeared from the city using a miraculous method, if the Darkness Overgod wanted to, Han Shuo would have no chance of leaving the Darkness Dominion alive.
In his trip to the Darkness Dominion, Han Shuo had accomplished his objectives by killing Wallace, Hofs, Larikson, and Ralph. However, by murdering those people, Han Shuo had offended Yarus, Darkwater, and Darkstone. He might have even provoked the Darkness Overgod. But Han Shuo believed that once he returned to the Fringe and settled the House of Han in the Pandemonium, they would have no fear of these threats.
<i>I have killed two of his City Lords. Why didn’t he attack me?</i> thought Han Shuo.
The only matter that still rather bothered Han Shuo was the Darkness Overgod. He did not understand why the Overgod had not tried to kill him when he had caused such a great disturbance in the Darkness Dominion. Based on the strength that the Darkness Overgod revealed in the City of Gorging Clouds, Han Shuo knew that he wouldn’t have been able to escape so easily if the Overgod had tried to stop him in any manner.
Han Shuo had been stuck on the question for a long time. But even after he entered the Ronson Canyon, he was still nowhere close to unraveling the puzzle.
Han Shuo decided to ease his mind of the thought momentarily and go about with his business. He expanded his consciousness and quickly found a godhunter who had concealed himself.
Han Shuo’s body vanished and reappeared before the godhunter in a snap. Before the godhunter could react, Han Shuo buckled his neck, immobilized him, and asked, “Where is Scarlett?”
“Who are you? What do you look for our Chief for?!” shouted the panicking godhunter.
“Oops.” Han Shuo put on a smile, let go of the godhunter, and replied, “I’m from the House of Han. Scarlett has assisted us and I want to personally thank her for her help.”
The godhunter heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Han Shuo’s reply but he remained very cautious. He asked, “But, how can I know if you are actually from the House of Han?”
Han Shuo bunched his brows slightly and asked, “Han Hao used to be in charge of everything here, right?”
The godhunter showed revering emotions when he heard the name ‘Han Hao’. He asked, “Yes, back when he was still in Ronson Canyon, every godhunter here had to obey his words. Do you know Han Hao?”
Han Shuo smiled and replied, “Take a good look at me. Don’t you think that I look a lot like Han Hao?”
It seemed as though the godhunter was only aware of it after hearing Han Shuo’s words. He squinted and looked carefully at Han Shuo before his eyes widened and he immediately replied, “Alright, I shall lead you to my Chief!”
Han Shuo traveled deeper into the Ronson Canyon with the godhunter leading him the way. Along his journey, Han Shuo discovered many well-concealed godhunters as though they were on a major operation. Out of curiosity, Han Shuo asked, “What are you all hiding all around for?”
“We are scouting for movements and activities. There have recently been quite a number of people traveling from the Death Dominion to the Destruction Dominion. They originated from various family clans of the Destruction Dominion. We Ronson Canyon godhunters are planning and preparing to attack the smaller ones, ” answered the godhunter truthfully.
With one thought, Han Shuo realized why there were suddenly so many family clans leaving the Death Dominion.
These people from the Destruction Dominion had probably traveled to Witherbone City for matters relating to the House of Han. They must have realized that the Witherbone City was now Deadbone City and therefore left the Death Dominion.
