Carefree Path of Dreams

Flames rose as evil spirits roared.

Dozens of the surrounding buildings instantly turned into powder.

After the fierce battle, Nietzsche stood there expressionlessly with the high priest’s neck in his hands.

“Ha…” The high priest’s face was blank. As the cost of transforming into a spirit, he had lost his intelligence long ago.

“Burn!”

Golden flames burnt him into practically nothing, but Nietzsche did not feel the satisfaction of revenge, only endless emptiness and fear.

He looked up at the sky.

Above the curtain of night, the vertical eye within the triangle grew increasingly vivid, containing the feeling of being unparalleled.

Even in his current state, he still felt helpless against the entire sky.

The next moment, Nietzsche sensed something and jumped into the sky.

A massive symbol of the Dark Ritual suddenly concentrated into a black ball and descended like a meteor.

Smack!

The black ball landed in the center of Kimbert City. As it touched the ground slightly, it exploded open.

A layer of black water spread across all of Kimbert City. From above, it looked like someone had knocked over a bottle of ink.

Many buildings, plants, and life forms—whether humans, Extraordinaries, or even followers of darkness—all corroded in that instant.

With merely one blow, all of Kimbert City was extinguished!

Kaboom!

And in the core of this darkness, many blood vein-like tentacles suddenly broke through the black membrane and appeared in the world.

The darkness split open, revealing a giant eyeball.

“I am a son of Omar, the Ancient Eye of Darkness! I have been appointed to rule this entire planet!”

The moment it appeared, every organism on this planet felt an unprecedented trembling in their hearts. This was its unparalleled might and pressure!

After completing the Dark Ritual, Omar truly sent one of its progeny here to rule this planet!

“Looks like… the legends about the Ancients were actually true!” Nietzsche watched on quietly and sighed.

While he was feeling that way, the sky and ground around the Eye of Darkness were instantly contaminated, transforming into a huge blackish-green swamp.

Followers, one after the other, crawled out from the swamp and formed an army of darkness.

An Eye of Darkness was a terrifying source of contamination. Not only could it contaminate the surroundings, but it could also create an unending army of followers!

Not only that, but the Eye of Darkness also possessed a formidable psychic ability that could enslave any intelligent life form.

This was also why just a single Eye of Darkness could rule an entire planet!

…

Green Forest City.

“Quick! Don’t bother about the walking dead here! Order all the troops and elites to head to Kimbert City immediately!”

Barton roared while staring at an ancient map in his hands.

The map seemed to be drawn on parchment, and its edges were already turning yellowish.

On it were all the cities of the Carls Federation. Every other place had a small green dot, while the dot that represented Green Forest City was red.

But just a few minutes ago, Kimbert City, which had only been slightly red, had suddenly turned completely red.

Not only that, but the degree of redness continued to deepen before finally turning blood red and then pure black.

Whoosh!

A small flame appeared from the center of Kimbert City and turned the entire map into ashes.

Smack!

Barton’s hand was trembling. He slapped himself on the face and finally came back to his senses. “Ask for help! Ask for help from every country! And also the Church of Black Iron God! After so many years of working together, it’s time for them to pay the price! Immediately contact the chief magistrate and let him know that this isn’t one country’s disaster but the threat of world annihilation!”

…

As a planet once ruled by the Ancients and then regained its freedom, it naturally had some foundation.

Although it was because it had received help from outsiders, some powers still remained on this planet.

When an Ancient of darkness descended once more and wanted to rule this planet again, everything burst out immediately.

Holy Celbera, headquarters of the Church of the Black Iron God.

“My Lord, please bestow strength upon us…” The pope knelt within the church and began praying silently. “Darkness has descended once again… We pray for your strength…”

Outside, numerous church members were hurriedly launching a religious ritual, leading over a hundred thousand devout believers to start a grand ritual.

Kaboom!

An immense earthquake rumbled, and half of the church collapsed. A cellar appeared, and within it was a set of black full body armor.

Buzz Buzz! 

The black armor roared and suddenly turned into a meteor, surging toward the sky.

“That is the… body of the Black Iron God?” Seeing this, an archbishop wearing red was in disbelief.

“That’s right! The so-called Black Iron God is actually a weapon bestowed upon us by aliens. The previous generation hero saint relied on this to defeat the Ancients who used to rule the planet!” The pope explained these secret details. “At this time, we… can only pray! Victory will once again belong to us!”

…

Although there were the three Yellow, Black, and White continents, the ocean was still the largest on the planet.

In that boundless expanse of deep ocean, there were countless secrets and areas that humans had yet to explore.

Above a sea, fierce lightning danced and rumbling thunder boomed as a fearsome storm surged violently.

Tsunami after tsunami came as an incomparably enormous figure surfaced.

It looked like a massive octopus and was even larger than a small mountain. Huge waves suddenly rushed toward the White Continent.

Kaboom!

Completely immeasurable tsunamis drowned the entire White Continent in that instant.

In front of a natural calamity like this, all modern civilization and technology were useless, unable to withstand even a single blow.

The waves completely destroyed countless cities as the immense amount of seawater continued surging toward its target—the Eye of Darkness in Kimbert City!

…

Nietzsche clenched his teeth as the flames of the sun around him grew dimmer. His mind also suffered continuous lashing.

It felt as though he had an Eye of Darkness in his heart, constantly urging him to serve it.

This was the psychic ability of the Eye of Darkness. The moment he could no longer support himself, he would completely lose himself and become its slave.

“So this is the strength of a Dark Young? It’s truly too strong, so powerful it’s beyond human… If they’re like this, what about the Outer Gods?” Nietzsche had this sudden thought while he was struggling desperately. He looked somewhat disappointed and frustrated, and seemed to have forgotten something important.

What he had forgotten was naturally all the information about Fang Yuan.

At this crucial moment of fishing, Fang Yuan naturally had to add a layer of insurance. With his paramount magic power, he hid everything about himself in this world, including all memories!

Otherwise, Nietzsche would have definitely been baffled. How could the store owner Andy, who was much stronger than him, die under the Dark Ritual?

“Submit! Submit! Submit to me!”

The Eye of Darkness danced as its tentacles fluttered, sending out a series of soul attacks.

Nietzsche gritted his teeth as cold sweat dripped down his forehead while blood flowed from his lips.

Swoosh!

Right when he was about to collapse, a black meteor flew in from the sky and landed on his body.

Crack!

It was a suit of black armor that fit seamlessly onto his body, and it blocked all psychic abilities.

The entire world suddenly fell silent, and Nietzsche received a message. “Black Iron Armor… created by the Lord of War who lives above the Jade Star… The Lord of War is a benevolent Elder God who, for some reason, chose to bestow hope upon the humans of this planet…”

Even though the Elder Gods were a bunch of stay-at-home Gods, they occasionally had wars with the Outer Gods.

Evidently, the destruction of the Ancients of this planet should have been a peripheral battle in the war.

Kaboom!

The next moment, Nietzsche saw a white line.

It was a wave with unsurpassed might and as massive as a mountain surging toward Kimbert City.

Splash!

The waves splashed against the shore, and a tremendous force swept through. The azure ocean seemed to contain an indescribable horror as it instantly swallowed all the dark followers who emerged from the ground.

The waves receded, leaving behind only the humongous octopus. Its green skin reflected a diamond-like luster.

“Son of the Deep Sea!!!” the Eye of Darkness roared.

The other party was also a progeny of an Outer God. This Outer God and Omar were in hostile camps, and the return of the Eye of Darkness had undoubtedly triggered the octopus, making it not hesitate to strike from the deep sea.

Nietzsche had a complicated expression as he looked at this scene.

Although this massive octopus could be considered a helping hand, its emergence had created tsunamis that caused tens of times more damage than the Eye of Darkness’s sacrifices in Kimbert City had caused! A hundred times!

After all, it was a descendant of an Outer God, so how could it care about the lives of ants?

But at this time, Nietzsche suppressed the anger in his heart. Compared to this monster that lived in the remote deep sea, this Eye of Darkness that wanted to rule the planet was the greatest enemy.

There was no need to say much when two descendants of enemy Outer God crossed paths. They fought ruthlessly at close quarters.

One side was an eye with countless blood veins, while the other one was a mountain-sized. As the two monsters clashed, it was as though a comet struck the planet. In one exchange, the heavens rent asunder, and the earth cracked; flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Seeing this, Nietzsche furrowed his brows even harder than before.

Although this deep-sea octopus had emerged in an astonishing manner, its aura was gradually falling, and the Eye of Darkness was clearly ruthlessly suppressing it.

“Is its status lower than the Eye of Darkness’s? Or is it seriously injured?”

Nietzsche did not think any further as he extended his right hand.

The black armor mobilized and created a strange-looking black saber with a hook on the blade.

“Die!”

The golden sun reappeared, bigger than before, and black flames were burning around it.

Following Nietzsche’s shout was an incredibly huge sun descending from the sky toward the Eye of Darkness!

Kaboom!

The three strongest on the planet clashed.

Or rather, Nietzsche and the Son of the Deep Sea were joining forces against the Eye of Darkness.

This battle would determine the future of the planet!
