Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
Chapter 186: Greatsword

In the face of Big Brother's movements, the other six moon thrall kings glanced at each other, then also stretched out their palms one by one.

Seven palms of different sizes gathered together, and the faint moonlight fluorescence became fiercer and fiercer. The light even looked somewhat harsh under the night sky.

When the seven moon thralls stood together, the gap between them became obvious.

Big Brother, who was created from 100,000 moon thralls, was not only the tallest, but also the strongest, so it was obviously the leader.

Second Brother, Third Brother, and the youngest Seventh Brother were in the second echelon because they were created from the three survivor camps. The rest weren’t worth mentioning.

Tian Tian stood by and watched this scene nervously. She knew that Big Brother seemed to have reached a critical moment.

Gu Nan had reappeared again at some point. He stood to the side and observed this scene with great interest.

"Is it really seven fusing into one? Looks like I named them quite fittingly[1]…" Gu Nan rubbed his chin. Look at this scene, the names he gave them in playful taste might really come true.

When the moonlight condensed to a critical point, Sixth Brother, the weakest one, suddenly felt a shock, then turned into a mass of white light and was absorbed by the other six moon thralls.

The remaining six moon thrall kings’ strength suddenly rose, and the most powerful Big Brother even broke through the threshold of Tier 3 directly, giving a loud roar.

｢Side Quest Complete: Level the moon thrall’s king to Tier 3｣

The words from the Evil God Temple made Gu Nan smile. Based on this dungeon’s difficulty, this meant a reward of at least 20 Evil Value.

It's just that it wasn’t a large-scale mission this time, so the reward would only be given when the main mission was complete.

Moreover, side quests were usually clues for the main mission, so now that this side quest was complete, a clue for the main mission should appear soon.

‘But no new NPC appeared…’ Gu Nan's eyes swept over Lin Duo and her companions, and the corners of his mouth smiled even more.

The "fusion" of the seven moon thrall kings continued. One after another, the moon thralls shattered and caused the remaining moon thrall kings’ strength to rise wildly.

In the end, even Second Brother and Third Brother shattered, leaving only Big Brother, which had swelled into a giant of nearly 20 meters high, and Seventh Brother, whose shape was almost the same as his.

Big Brother opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the big fellow beside him, as if wondering why Seventh Brother didn't break into pieces.

But just then, Seventh Brother’s originally stiff expression suddenly revealed a strange insidious smile.

It was a smile that shouldn’t have existed based on the moon thrall kings’ low intelligence. Big Brother didn't even understand the meaning of this smile, but he felt a pain in his neck.

Seventh Brother suddenly opened his mouth and bit him on the neck!

Big Brother immediately gave a pained roar and tried to pull his hand back, but Seventh Brother gripped that hand in a death grip, not letting him move at all.

He raised his hand to fight, but Seventh Brother’s movements were much more flexible than his. His every move was like a master who had been immersed in martial arts for hundreds of years, and Big Brother couldn’t even touch a hair on him.

After several seconds, Seventh Brother took another bite. This time, half of Big Brother's face was torn off, revealing the glittering and translucent blue veins underneath.

There was a loud scream from Tian Tian, who wanted to hurriedly rush forward but was caught by Gu Nan.

"Let me go! Put me—”

Crack.

The sound of bones breaking rang out as Gu Nan broke one of Tian Tian’s arms. He stared at the girl coldly. If he didn't have some suspicions about her identity, he would’ve broken her head instead of her arm.

The power of shadows sealed Tian Tian's mouth so that she couldn't scream in pain. She could only struggle in vain.

As if triggered by her friend’s misery, Lin Duo suddenly stepped forward. "Mr. Gu Nan… I-If you do this again, I will send you back to the Heroic Spirit Space!"

People in the Morningstar Plane believed that Heroic Spirits came from one of two places—the continent itself or the infinite Heroic Spirit Space outside the continent.

In reality, of course there was no such thing as the Heroic Spirit Space, but Lin Duo’s threat to Gu Nan was real.

Gu Nan gave her a cold look. Before he could respond, a voice had already sounded, "Hahahaha! Heroic Spirit, so you are a Heroic Spirit!"

Ghost Tree’s figure had already appeared behind Lin Duo at some time, looking deranged. "If I kill her, then you must return to the Heroic Spirit Space… I’ve waited so long for this moment!"

The red-robed old man was already a spent force at this time. The moon thralls had consumed too much of his strength, and he also had serious injuries.

But at this moment, he felt that all the waiting was worth it.

Gu Nan was actually a Heroic Spirit!

‘Yes, he’s very good at running away. Not even my domain can trap him. Revenge for my children had almost become an extravagant hope… but he’s a Heroic Spirit!’

‘Wouldn’t it be the best revenge to kill the Heroic Spirit summoner, send him back to the Heroic Spirit Space, and make all his efforts so far go to waste?’

‘This will make him feel far worse than just killing him!’

Ghost Tree’s thoughts turned sharply, but his hand movements didn’t stop. Countless branches instantly shot toward Lin Duo.

"Lin Duo!"

Lin Ke couldn't stop it at all. She could only watch this scene happen and let out a sad cry.

The sun and moon twin spirits were already standing in front of Lin Duo, their faces full of a dying will.

The purpose behind their awakening was to fulfill their ancestor’s will and resolve the moon thrall calamity. Even if they died, they must never let their contractor die.

However, Lin Duo's shadow on the ground suddenly began to boil at this time.

A dark shadow stood up from Lin Duo’s shadow and turned into Gu Nan's appearance in the blink of an eye. It was the shadow clone that he always kept by Lin Duo’s side, which played a crucial role at this moment.

This time, the branches pierced Gu Nan's abdomen without hindrance.

"Mr. Gu Nan…" Lin Duo looked at this scene in shock, unable to speak for a while.

Gu Nan's vitality, which was boundless to the point of terrifying, made Ghost Tree almost faint with excitement—as long as he sucked this fellow dry, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to step into that legendary realm!

Gu Nan's face, however, showed a grim smile, and a sword of shadow suddenly appeared in his hand.

This sword was very strange. Not only was its style quite different from usual, but it was clearly a greatsword that glowed with a faint white light.

Ghost Tree was someone at the Dao Lord level. He vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn’t see what was off.

Gu Nan, however, sneered. ‘A boss on his last legs dares to run up to me, someone who has an execute type skill. What kind of spirit is this?’

｢Righteous Judgment: In the name of justice, cause true damage to the target based on the amount of HP the target has already lost｣

Gu Nan's expression turned righteous, his entire person began to exude a radiance of justice, and the sword of shadow in his hand also seemed to be glittering—of course, this was all in his imagination.

But the skill effect wouldn’t be affected just because there was no special visual effect.

‘Take this greatsword!’

Gu Nan added the voice line in his heart.

When this sword fell, it was as if the whole world was shaking. Ghost Tree was instantly blown to pieces by the golden light falling from the sky.

Gu Nan was entirely unconcerned by this. For him, it was nothing more than the skill’s special effects causing the game screen to flash white for a second.

Lin Duo and her companions watched, stupefied. Their hearts were full of shock and they couldn't even speak.

There was only a strange but sinister voice speaking from behind Gu Nan, "As expected of My Lord, to think you still had such a secret skill… But I wonder how many more times you can use it?"

Behind everyone, Big Brother had already disappeared, leaving only Seventh Brother, who was back to normal size and had an insidious expression.

Upon closer inspection, Seventh Brother’s face looked somewhat familiar.
