Chapter 722: Sacrifice

“Where is… this?”

Amanda shook her head and stood up, feeling slightly dizzy.

There was an abnormal darkness in all directions, with only a slightly devilish purple glow in the sky, allowing her to barely distinguish the nearby terrain.

Beside her, a slightly gasping sound was heard. “This is the eighth tier of Purgatory, the land of silence and territory of fear! Any fear in your heart will be magnified to the greatest extent and even materialize into an Evil Demon!”

“You are… Zorro?!”

Amanda was very surprised.

Her recollections still remained during the moments in the Sun God Nation when she was conversing with George. “Why are you here? Where’s the Sun God?”

“He’s already been killed by Apophis, and even the Sun Godhood has been stolen! Furthermore, it’s now already the time for the final battle. All the Sons of Purgatory are inside the Nine Tier Purgatory. Otherwise, Apophis’ will would directly kill them!”

Zorro was in an extremely bad condition, his whole body constantly dripping with dark golden blood.

“The Master of the Nine Tier Purgatory… Apophis?!” Amanda’s voice trembled.

Accompanying her fear, the sky shook and an aggressive Evil Demon with nine pairs of wings suddenly appeared.

“Don’t be afraid! Don’t fear!” Zorro shook his head, and his slaughter clones leapt forward. “Kill!”

A bright light flashed past. The Evil Demon was stunned, its body splitting into pieces. “In this Purgatory tier, they becomes stronger based on our amount of fear. We can’t let the fear in our hearts be captured by them.”

That Evil Demon was the image of Apophis in Amanda’s imagination. Furthermore, the power of fear that was absorbed was not much and still calculated as easy to deal with.

What actually troubled Zorro was his own fear!

With his ability, once the power of fear that he emitted was converted, it really was possible for an incarnation of Apophis to descend.

“I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid!” Amanda said as if she was hypnotized, but her body was still shivering.

Black gas visible to the naked eye dispersed near her and landed on the ground, forming a black python.

“…” Zorro was speechless.

After a long while, Amanda finally managed to barely control her fear.

“Listen. What I’m going to say next is very important…” Zorro’s current state looked even worse as he constantly coughed out fresh blood. “The Fear Evil Demons in this Purgatory are still unable to injure me. What actually caused me to become like this was Death God Jay! He’s the Evil God that controls the power of death and wants to obtain my Godhood in order to contend with Apophis. However, we both know that this is merely fantasy. Apophis has already swallowed the sun and is invincible inside the Purgatory. Even if the Gods united, they’d be unable to defeat him!”

“What should we do then?” Amanda tried to calm her voice.

“When I fought with Jay, I suffered massive injuries. My state of mind is about to collapse while my body is constantly deteriorating… Cough cough … There’s no hope.” Zorro’s condition looked even worse, but his eyes were very bright. “However, I want to pass my Godhood to you! From now on, you’re the new Slaughter God! Your job is to join the Gods and annihilate Apophis!”

“The Gods?” Amanda was slightly doubtful.

“In this current situation, even if its the last Son of Purgatory or the Gods, they’d still be no match for Apophis. The only way we can win is to unite! The Gods have already accepted many Sons of Purgatory and won’t take notice of your addition.”

Zorro shivered as his right hand reached into his chest and grabbed a golden crystal. “Take this! This is my final gift!”

“No, I can’t do this!” Amanda’s hands were greatly shaking.

She was completely mentally unprepared to become a God.

“Go!”

However, Zorro did not care, and using his spiritual will, the golden crystal directly flew into Amanda.

She gasped in astonishment, and her entire body started emanating dark golden radiance.

Originally, it was an extremely difficult task to absorb a Godhood and their strength. With Amanda’s abilities and willpower, she would not even be able to step across the threshold.

However, now, with a God taking the initiative to sacrifice himself, everything was naturally quite different.

“Zorro… why must you do this?” Amid the glow, tears filled Amanda’s face.

“Hehe… Perhaps, I simply don’t want Jay to succeed?” After the Godhood had been delivered, he no longer had power left to suppress his injuries. Traces of black flames suddenly formed on Zorro’s body. “Also… live on well! You and her look really similar… Both of you have such beautiful eyes…”

In the black flames, Zorro struggled, seeming as if he wanted to raise his hand and caress the face of the girl opposite him.

However, the next instant, the flames surged and instantly engulfed him.

Because I look like… someone you know? Amanda stroked her face.

She thought of Zorro. Although he had acted cold and heartless previously, he still saved her from Lauder and once again in the God Nation. All of this was not fake.

“Jay… and also Apophis!”

With the sacrifice from the Slaughter God, Amanda had already matured into a true Slaughter God.

Her face was cold and, after identifying a direction, immediately charged toward the sky.

…

“Slow! Too slow!”

Inside the Nine Tier Purgatory, Fang Yuan saw the scenes of Sons of Purgatory killing each other and revealed a sinister smile as he loudly snapped his fingers.

Smack!

The crisp sound suddenly rang out inside the Nine Tier Purgatory. “From now on, after every hour passes, you will need to enter the next Purgatory tier. Those still remaining behind will be killed!”

“That voice… is it Apophis?” Heim frowned and looked at the corpse in front.

This was a Legend Son of Purgatory who was an exceptional stalker, and the divinity in his body was incomparably strong.

Unfortunately, in front of him, the Evil Demon powers had nowhere to hide.

The powerful Purification Domain had immediately suppressed the Legend. The divine armor and weapons on him further made Heim grasp the opportunity to kill him in one blow!

“Damn… this divinity is too tenacious!”

After killing him, a group of divinity voluntarily flew into Heim due to the characteristics of the Son of Purgatory.

With a painful expression, scales started appearing on his body as two huge bundles protruded from his back. At any moment, a pair of Evil Demon wings would appear.

Such divinity even endlessly enhanced his strength, causing him to start breaking through to Legend!

It can do what all the Gods can’t. Is this the evil power of Apophis? Damn… I can’t die!

Heim gritted his teeth and thought of the Gods’ warnings.

A Son of Purgatory could directly devour the divinity and become stronger, but as the Son of Salvation, he had another choice.

That was to completely cleanse the divinity in his body!

This was discovered by the Knowledge God, and the only way to eliminate divinity!

“But… it’s so difficult just for a Legend’s divinity… I need to quickly ascend be able to cleanse more divinity… Moreover, I still can’t rely on this evil power…”

Heim roared and struggled with indomitable determination in his eyes.

A while later, he released a deep breath, the abnormalities on his body simultaneously retreating.

“Finally, I’ve cleansed that Legend’s divinity. Also…” He looked at his hands. “I’ve become a Legend? It seems that after cleansing divinity, there’s still a pure power left behind?”

“Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Knowledge God. I’ll work harder to cleanse more divinity and reduce Apophis’ power!” Heim muttered in prayer.

But he did not realize that after becoming a Legend, there was a bit of black in his eyes.

…

“In the name of the Mother Earth Goddess, Earthquake!!”

Django was wearing a set of fitting armor and had a solemn expression.

Below him, the ground split and horrifying powers gathered, crushing a small group of Evil Demons into meat paste.

As a believer of the Mother Earth Goddess, his profession was very rare; he was a Walker of the Earth.

Walking the earth, he was instinctively able to use the powers of the earth to strengthen earth elemental fighting spirit and various spells.

“The Purgatory… is indeed the most suitable place for those with divinity!”

He did not have as many worries as Heim as he had greedily absorbed divinity, quickly breaking through the barrier of Legend.

After a Walker of the Earth became a Legend, they would form a special field attracting the essence from the most firm ores in the earth to become protective armor.

With this layer of protection, Django’s pace was faster.

He did not choose those Sons of Purgatory. Instead, he used the pulsations of the earth and found groups of Evil Demons, killing as he pleased.

As long as a certain number of ordinary Evil Demons gathered, they would also have the power of divinity.

Needless to say, there were already powerful beings with divinity among the Evil Demons.

Kaboom!

Abruptly, a violent fluctuation rang out in front.

“No!”

A shrill scream that could practically be heard from any distance sounded.

This voice was full of desolation and unbearably hoarse, as if it was the lament of an Evil Demon about to die.

Django thought for a moment and suddenly raised his head.

Thump!

A huge Evil Demon head crashed in front of him and a golden crystal popped out.

“This…”

A strong desire to devour caused him to step forward and lightly clutch it.

Buzz!

Instantly, he was fully enveloped by a dark golden light as the divinity in his body became extremely concentrated, transforming into a small flame.

This was divine fire! The Half-God realm that only a Son of Purgatory could have! The power that could contend against a True God!

“Who was it? Who took my spoils?”

However, in the next instant, a horrifying will completely locked down Django.

A God wearing a black robe suddenly appeared in the sky with blood-shot eyes. It was Jay!

“A small bug even dares to steal my divinity?”

He laughed viciously, and the entire Death domain pressed down.

“It’s a Purgatory Evil God! He killed the Evil Demon grand duke before?”

Django was extremely frightened, but his face immediately turned determined. “Fight!”
