Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Gods Unite, Portal Opens



Several notification messages flashed.

John awoke from his cultivation, utterly shocked.

His main body and three avatars had each gained 100,000 points in their basic attributes.

Additionally, his Immortal Sword Technique, Divine Path, and Overwhelming Battle Energy all automatically reached level 10,000, unlocking three powerful abilities.

Nine Heavens Sword, an Immortal Art-he didn't know its exact level, nor did it have a detailed description, but he could feel its terrifying power.

Then there was Divine Mindless, a forbidden spell, and a rare soul curse! Forbidden spells required the strength of at least a lower-tier god to master. Yet, despite only being at Tier Nine, John had already comprehended one.

Though it wasn't an offensive curse, it allowed him to control his targets.

Just imagine—if you were in the middle of a chaotic battle with multiple enemies, and one of them suddenly turned on their own allies, it would cause an unexpected and devastating effect.

His Beast Clan avatar also unlocked an overwhelmingly powerful and borderline monstrous ability.

Heaven and Earth Transformation, a skill that increased his size to tens of thousands of feet tall and boosted all his attributes a hundredfold.

John was confident that once he activated Heaven and Earth Transformation, he could go toe- to-toe with upper-tier gods, even the strongest among them.

However, the cost was enormous-10,000 points of spiritual power and 10,000 points of demon power per second.

Even with his Wrath of the Gods talent, he couldn't sustain it for long.

Of course, his human avatar on Skyline Continent had also improved.

Its four basic attributes increased by 100,000, along with an additional 50,000 points in Soul Technique, though no new skills were unlocked.

John regretted having pushed his Soul Technique to level 10,000 too early.

Otherwise, he might have unlocked a powerful new skill.

Though he still didn't know the exact levels of Immortal Arts and Divine Powers, he had a feeling these two abilities far surpassed forbidden spells.

"Merge!" John commanded, and his three avatars fused into one.

He immediately felt his strength surge dramatically, with his Soul Technique reaching over 147,000 points.

If he activated Heaven and Earth Transformation, his attributes would increase a hundredfold, easily surpassing a billion points, making the defeat of upper-tier gods well within his reach.

However, the skill's energy consumption was staggering. With his current spiritual power and demon power, he could only maintain it for just over 40 seconds.

And that was with his Wrath of the Gods talent reducing the energy consumption by 99%.

Even so, it was still a monstrous ability.

"Hmm? The connection portal!" John's brow furrowed. With his increased strength, especially the immense boost to his Soul Technique, he could now clearly sense the connection portal to Skyline Continent.

Skyline Continent was in shambles, its energy rapidly depleting as it was being siphoned through two connection portals, drawing energy from other worlds.

One of the portals had become dangerously thin, on the verge of being fully opened at any moment.

A massive force was actively wearing down the seal on the portal, attempting to fully connect Skyline Continent to another world-Earth.

At the current pace, the portal would be completely opened in less than a week.

"Damn it!" John cursed, his killing intent surging. He knew this was the doing of the upper- tier gods from the various races.

He had to stop them.

John focused his mind, attempting to break open the other portal-the one that led to Shadow Star.

"Hmm, such a powerful force blocking it!" His frown deepened as he felt a terrifying power preventing him from opening the portal.

Despite his newfound strength, he was still far from a match for this force.

It was clear that relying on his strength alone, breaking through to connect Shadow Star was impossible.

"Am I really going to have to slaughter the gods from the other races?" John muttered to himself, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The thought had certainly crossed his mind.

But he decided against it. He was only one man, and the elves and Blues Family members were far too weak to assist him.

Moreover, he wasn't sure he could defeat all the upper-tier gods. If he went down that path, even Elsa, Tony, and Ben might not survive.

"Maybe... I can use their own power to open the Shadow Star portal," he thought, his mind drifting to the powerful forbidden spell he had just mastered-Divine Mindless.

He couldn't break open the portal alone, and those upper-tier gods certainly wouldn't help

him willingly.

But he didn't need their cooperation-he only needed to control them.

Divine Mindless was a forbidden spell. While it was impossible to control them for an extended period, short-term control was definitely feasible.

With this thought, John acted immediately.

In an instant, he appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The area had already been cleared, and Sara, Sini, and the others were fully engaged in slaughtering Hunters to level up.

"Chris, Bonnie, do your best to keep leveling up. I have something important to handle. If anything happens, message me privately," he instructed Chris and Bonnie.

"Got it. These Hunters are no longer a threat to us," they both nodded in agreement.

John was still a bit concerned. Though the Hunters couldn't pose a threat to them, he feared that powerful members of the Shadow Clan might descend again.

Without wasting any more time, John took off in Sword Flight, leaving the Ancient Battlefield Ruins behind.

Now that he was Tier Nine, he could fly unaided, but his flight speed was still much slower compared to Sword Flight.

As he cut down Hunters along the way, he quickly exited the Ancient Battlefield Ruins.

Roar...

Furious roars echoed as Hunters swarmed the area surrounding the ruins, rushing toward

him.

John's thoughts moved, and crimson flames erupted around him, enveloping the approaching

Hunters.

Agonized wails filled the air as their souls were instantly wiped out, leaving their bodies

untouched but lifeless.

John didn't bother continuing to slaughter them, instead focusing on the coordinates of the

Void Area.

Buzz!

With a fluctuation of spatial power, his body suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment,

he appeared in the Void Area.

A massive, oppressive presence filled the space, and among the dozens of powerful auras, there were at least a dozen that made him wary.

These were upper-tier gods, all on the same level as Cand-Dragon.

Without needing to focus too hard, John swiftly made his way to the center of the Void Area.

There, over three thousand upper-tier gods were gathered.

They all working together to break open the portal to Earth.

"Godslayer!" Heidern noticed John and sneered, "I've been looking for you. Didn't expect you

to walk right into our hands!"

He was about to order his subordinates to attack John.

It was a critical moment in their efforts to open the Earth portal, and they couldn't afford

distractions.

"Calm down," John interrupted, his gaze cold as he addressed the gathered divine beings, "You're all trying to open the portal to Earth, right? Let me lend you a hand."

The gods looked at him in confusion, but before they could react, John unleashed his

forbidden spell-Divine Mindless.

Buzz...

The air trembled as a powerful wave of soul energy surged, instantly taking control of over three thousand upper-tier gods.

In that moment, a searing pain tore through John's head, as though his mind was about to

explode.

John's Soul Technique was still too weak. Controlling so many upper-tier gods at once had

already pushed him far beyond his limit.

Fortunately, Divine Mindless didn't come with any backlash.

Clenching his teeth and enduring the searing pain, he coldly commanded, "Attack!"

He directed the powerful gods to unleash their strongest attack, aiming it at the connection

portal to Shadow Star.

Boom!

A deafening explosion shook Skyline Continent violently.

Though the combined attack of over three thousand upper-tier gods didn't fully open the

portal to Shadow Star, it caused a massive crack.

Instantly, Skyline Continent abandoned its connection to Earth and began frantically drawing

energy from Shadow Star.

"Cough!" John spat out a mouthful of blood as a sharp ringing echoed deep in his mind. While Divine Mindless had no backlash, pushing it beyond his limits had still damaged his soul. "You bastard, what have you done?!" The gods were stunned, frozen in place as they watched the scene unfold. Then they turned their furious gazes toward John.

If the connection to Shadow Star was fully opened, they would all be doomed. Heidern glared at John with cold fury and quickly shouted, "Hurry, everyone! Repair the rift!

We cannot allow Skyline Continent to connect to Shadow Star!"

The other gods realized the danger and threw all their energy into sealing the crack in the

portal.

John frowned, ready to intervene and stop them.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a tremendous force surged forward, like a giant sword, directly piercing the

connection portal to Shadow Star.

John was shocked-it was the power of the Immortal inheritance!

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled as boundless energy erupted, forcibly tearing open the portal

to Shadow Star.

Amid the overwhelming energy, four massive words appeared in the sky: Enter the Game with

Your Body.

Blinding light illuminated the world, lingering for what seemed like an eternity.

At that moment, the upper-tier gods were struck by the backlash of the Immortals' power.

Blood spilled from their mouths, and their faces were a mixture of despair, fear, anger, and unwillingness.

Each of them was overwhelmed with conflicting emotions.

John, however, erupted into wild laughter, pointing at the four words glowing in the sky,

"Hahaha! I get it now! 'Enter the Game with Your Body' means dragging all of you down with

me!"

[Announcement: The World of Gods has connected to Shadow Star. The ultimate treasure of

Skyline Continent will emerge in three months.]

The announcement echoed three times.

Players, confused by the situation, focused solely on the words "ultimate treasure,"

assuming it was some unimaginable fortune.

The ignorant are fearless-they had no idea that this wasn't a treasure but a catastrophe.

And no one was there to explain it to them.

...

In the Void Area, the gods finally grasped what had happened.

"Damn you!" "Human! Do you even know what you've done? You have no idea how terrifying the Shadow

Clan truly is!"

"Godslayer, you've doomed us all."

"Stop wasting time-kill him! Offer him to the Shadow Clan, and maybe we can appease them

and buy ourselves a sliver of hope."

Furious curses filled the air as every god turned their wrathful gaze toward John.

Whoosh!

The terrifying darkness of The Power of Laws surged as Beelzebub struck first, hurling a black

spear charged with immense soul energy, aiming directly at John.

Boom!

A violent explosion shook the realm as devastating soul energy rippled outward.

John was instantly obliterated, but The Blessed Ring triggered, reviving him. Even so, his soul

took a severe hit, and he coughed up blood.

Fortunately, with his massively enhanced Soul Technique, Beelzebub was no longer able to

kill him in one blow.

"Demon race, I've tolerated you for long enough!" John's icy voice rang out, booming like

thunder, echoing across the entire Void Area.

As he spoke, his body grew immensely, towering over everything, radiating a terrifying

pressure.

He had activated the divine power-Heaven and Earth Transformation!
