The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 785: Demon-slaying? God-slaying!

Since the dark figure descended, the entire world fell into a silence as oppressive as death. The arrogant Undead Lord, now kneeling on the ground like the lowliest servant, spoke with reverence and even flattery to the supreme being.

“Great God of Decay, your most faithful servant, Maldonis, humbly welcomes your arrival!”

The dark figure glanced over—though lacking the apparent organs of eyes, it seemed as if otherworldly eyes focused on the Undead Lord.

It was as if wailing demons from the depths of hell and the murmurs of gods spreading fear and death in the void echoed in the air.

“Maldonis, why have you summoned me to the primary realm? Did I not say that only in dire times, where life and death hang in the balance, should this opportunity be used?”

The Undead Lord, full of fear, lifted his head slightly but still dared not meet the gaze of the God of Decay, tremblingly replied.

“Great God of Decay, if not for dire circumstances, I would not dare to trouble you to expend energy to descend in avatar form. There is indeed an important matter that requires your attention.”

The Undead Lord shifted his gaze hatefully to Ji Chen, floating in the air, and continued, “This human is the Glory Lord who arrived in this world a year ago, a unique figure in this realm.

He has disrupted our demonic plans and affairs several times before, especially by slaying the Dreadlord Balzarna not long ago, causing significant damage to our strategic plans in the Western-Mid Ocean Region. He has become a great threat to us. I intended to devise a plan to kill him, but he has already been secretly aided by orderly deities, granting him some power…

To better fulfill your commands and the grand plans of our esteemed lords, and to thwart the sinister schemes of those hypocritical orderly deities, I had no choice but to request your presence…”

Ji Chen’s eyebrows twitched slightly, feeling disgusted by his flowery speech.

The Undead Lord admitted it upfront, but the latter part about the orderly deities secretly aiding him, and better fulfilling commands, sounded like shifting blame and finding excuses.

Who could have imagined that this seemingly crazy demon lord would end up being such a submissive creature?

But Ji Chen also became secretly vigilant. He had heard of this deity’s name.

The God of Decay, a mid-tier divine being, possessed the nineteenth-tier Decay Authority, governing decay and rot. His power could cause material to decay and rot at an extremely rapid rate, surpassing even the Corrosion Authority.

In the ancient divine wars tens of thousands of years ago, he had joined forces with other dark deities to hunt down more than five orderly deities, making him a well-known figure among dark deities.

Upon hearing the Undead Lord’s words, the God of Decay indeed turned his gaze to Ji Chen, the individual who concerned him the most. This mere human was aided by orderly deities?

But how could that be?

Those hypocritical and arrogant orderly deities had long been entangled and suppressed by them, the dark deities, and were barely able to protect themselves. How could they spare the energy to break through the rules and help a human who had only been in this world for a year?

The world’s rules repelled not only them but had rejected anything beyond the epic tier, including all deities, thousands of years ago. The dark deities had also known this in advance, which was why they had expended great effort to research methods to penetrate the barrier.

Upon hearing Marldonis’s words, the God of Decay became somewhat intrigued by Ji Chen. If it was indeed the intervention of orderly deities, he wouldn’t mind granting death.

A mere mortal? He cared not. But a mortal favored by the orderly deities? That piqued his interest.

The Decay God’s avatar looked at Ji Chen as one might glance at a passing ant, showing casual indifference, yet effortlessly exerting a chilling pressure reminiscent of descending into the depths of hell.

Under the threat of imminent death, the power of the ocean surged to its maximum, and the ocean domain expanded to its fullest extent.

Ji Chen’s face flushed red, gritting his teeth as he endured, his bones creaking under the strain.

Gods were of a different level, even if just an avatar, they possessed immeasurable power far beyond mortals.

“Oh? Is this the power of the ocean?” the Decay Lord exclaimed in surprise.

As a dark deity who had burned with divine fire for millions of years, his knowledge was vast, and feeling this familiar power aroused his curiosity.

Memories slowly resurfaced.

The original owner of this power—the God of the Ocean from the orderly divine lineage, a revered deity among gods, was one of the targets they pursued during the divine war.

Although hundreds of thousands of years had passed, he still vividly remembered the God of the Ocean. Despite being just a mid-tier god, he had withstood the combined onslaught of him and five other dark deities, three of whom were also mid-tier gods, resisting their siege for five full days with the help of the ocean environment and unique ocean power.

It was the resilient resistance of the ocean god that allowed several continent-tier armies of humans and elves to retreat from that battle, dealing significant blows to demons and orcs in subsequent battles.

In the end, they had to pay a considerable price to slay the ocean god and extinguish his divine fire, annihilating his deity status in the process, preventing him from resurrecting through faith or other means.

However, at that time, they hadn’t paid much attention to the issue of the power of the ocean. They hadn’t expected that after hundreds of thousands of years, it would fall into the hands of a lowly human.

Perhaps it was the orderly deities who intervened secretly, helping him gain this power..
