Chapter 422: 43 Chief God Divine Cores, Assimilating Them All

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The Life Garden was a flowerbed that hung suspended high up in the sky. An endless amount of green foliage intertwined with one another to form a heavenly pillar covered in flowers. It supported the Life Garden, making it appear as if it was floating in mid-air.

The Life Garden wasn’t very big. Innumerable rare and precious flowers and plants grew everywhere inside it, giving off a rich and strong fragrance. In the center of the flowers and plants stood a shrine—it was none other than one of the Celestial Realm’s four Juggernauts, the Life Dominus’ shrine, known as the Life Shrine.

The battle in the Earth Divine Realm had nearly scared the living daylights out of the Life Dominus. When she returned to the Life Shrine, she had casually left behind some instructions and immediately entered seclusion.

She wanted to comprehend the supreme laws of nature further and become even stronger so that she would be able to respond to Meng Lei’s revenge anytime. She believed that Meng Lei would never let matters rest.

Boom, boom, boom!

At this exact moment, a series of booms suddenly traveled over from the sky, awakening the Life Dominus with a start. She lifted her head in surprise to see that a black hole—a gigantic black hole that was rapidly increasing in size and spreading—had formed in the sky a great distance away.

“What happened over there?”

The Life Dominus’ expression changed dramatically. She hurriedly flew out of the shrine and looked into the distance with the help of the Celestial Realm’s power.

What entered her sight was the supreme Celestial Realm currently under fierce attack. The attacks had even gone beyond the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls’ endurance capacity, causing the dimensional walls to be swiftly destroyed.

This greatly astonished the Life Dominus.

As a supreme existential plane that surpassed even high-end existential planes, the Celestial Realm boasted a stable dimension, where its dimensional walls were incredibly tough and durable. It was very difficult for Juggernauts like her to deal large-scale damage to the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls even if they were to borrow the Celestial Realm’s power.

Yet large expanses of dimensional walls were being destroyed and disappearing into nothingness. The Life Dominus couldn’t even imagine just what kind of intense attacks the Celestial Realm must currently be under in order for them to deal such an extent of damage to the dimensional walls!

“Who is it? Who exactly is attacking the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls? Could it be Meng Lei? No, that’s impossible! He’s not that strong! In that case, who exactly could it be?”

The look on the Life Dominus’ face was rather volatile, changing from time to time. Had it been any other time, she would have charged over a long time ago if anyone dared to make any trouble in the Celestial Realm. But this time…

The Life Dominus was hesitating. The other party was unimaginably strong. She didn’t dare to take any risks with her life at stake!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ten figures appeared one after another at this point—they were none other than the ten Chief Gods under the Life Dominus’ command.

There were a total of 44 Chief Gods in the Celestial Realm, with ten under each of the four Juggernauts and the remaining four not under anyone’s command.

“O great Juggernaut!”

Fear, alarm, and anxiety filled the ten Chief Gods’ eyes. All of them had become fearful and jittery ever since the battle in the Earth Divine Realm. Now that the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls had come under such attacks, how could they possibly not panic?

“O Juggernaut, it must be Meng Lei! He must be the one who’s attacking the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls! He’s clearly trying to destroy the Celestial Realm by doing that! What should we do?”

“O Juggernaut, hurry and think of something! The consequences would be unthinkable if he really destroys the Celestial Realm!”

“O Juggernaut—”

“Shut up, all of you!”

The Life Dominus had a terribly awful look on her face. She barked grimly, “Let’s go to the Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus first. We’ll deal with those powerful enemies together after that!”

Whoosh!

Someone teleported over at this point. The Chief Gods quickly turned over to the newcomer, upon which looks of joy immediately came over their faces. They chorused, “Greetings, Lord Death Dominus!”

The Life Dominus heaved a sigh of relief right away at the sight of the newcomer. She said, “You’re here, Hadas!”

“Mmhmm.”

The newcomer looked haggard and withered and was deathly pale. An aura of death also circled all around him. It was none other than the Death Dominus, one of the three great Juggernauts. His gaze swept across the ten Chief Gods before he subsequently looked at the Life Dominus. His voice was hoarse and sharp as he said, “Is Disaryl not here yet?”

“He’s not there?”

“No, he isn’t,” replied the Life Dominus with a shake of her head.

“Mmhmm.”

The Death Dominus made a casual sound of acknowledgment.

The Life Dominus nodded slightly. Then, the puzzled Life Dominus asked, “Why did you come by yourself, Hadas? Where are the ten Chief Gods under your command?”

“Them? They’re all dead,” replied the Death Dominus emotionlessly.

“They’re dead?”

Huge jolts went through the Life Dominus and the ten Chief Gods. Looks of incredulity filled their eyes.

“What did you say, Hadas? The ten Chief Gods under your command are dead? How can that be? How did they die? It can’t be that Meng Lei has killed them?”

“No, Meng Lei didn’t kill them.” The Death Dominus shook his head. “I did!”

“Y-you killed them?”

The Life Dominus and the ten Chief Gods’ expressions changed drastically. The Life Dominus shouted fiercely, “Why did you do that, Hadas?!”

“If they didn’t die, then I would have to!”

The Death Dominus spoke indifferently and apathetically as if he was just talking about something that wasn’t even worth a mention. He said, “Now that a freak like Meng Lei has been born in this universe, we, the three Juggernauts, are no match for him at all. I can only do my best to strengthen myself so that I can deal with him.”

“So, you decided to kill the ten Chief Gods under your command?”

The Life Dominus had an awful look on her face. She knew why Hadas had done something like that, of course.

Hadas must have killed the ten Chief Gods under his command, taken their Chief God divine cores, and then assimilated them to strengthen himself!

Indeed!

This was certainly a shortcut to quickly strengthen himself because the more Chief God divine cores he assimilated, the stronger Hadas’ control over the supreme Celestial Realm would become. By borrowing the Celestial Realm’s power, Hadas’ combat strength would increase rapidly—there was no doubt about that!

But how could Hadas bring himself to do that?

Those ten Chief Gods were already Hadas’ followers countless years ago, all trusted subordinates of his. How could he bring himself to do that?

“You’re out of your mind, Hadas!”

The Life Dominus gnashed her teeth in anger.

“Everything is for the sake of dealing with Meng Lei.” The Death Dominus remained apathetic as he said, “Meng Lei will eventually kill us all if we cannot fight back against him. Since we have to die sooner or later anyway, then why not let me kill them and strengthen myself instead?”

“You—”

The Life Dominus was at a loss for words.

What he says makes so much sense that I’m actually freaking lost for words?

“Take a look for yourself. Things have developed just like I expected. Meng Lei has indeed come, and on top of that, he’s become even stronger than before!”

The Death Dominus gazed into the far distance at the constantly enlarging black hole. He said, “We have to stop him. Thus, I need to gain even more power…”

The Life Dominus suddenly had a bad feeling. She asked, “What are you intending to do, Hadas?”

“Not much. Just borrowing their Chief God divine cores for a quick use!”

The Death Dominus turned to the ten Chief Gods with a look of absolute indifference on his deathly pale countenance. Then, he raised his right hand and made a light grabbing motion.

Boom!

A white bone palm suddenly appeared and grabbed at the ten Chief Gods.

“Noooo!”

“Dammit!”

“Spare us, Juggernaut!”

“Run!”

Upon hearing what the Death Dominus said and subsequently seeing the bone claw that suddenly attacked them, the ten Chief Gods under the Life Dominus’ command were frightened out of their wits. They ran at once, only to discover to their horror at the next moment that they had been completely trapped to the spot.

“The Celestial Realm’s power!”

“This is the Celestial Realm’s power!”

The ten Chief Gods knew what kind of power it was that was trapping them. They hastily activated their Chief God divine cores to mobilize the Celestial Realm’s power in an attempt to escape, but what they couldn’t accept was that the Celestial Realm power imprisoning them was far stronger than what they could mobilize!

They… were still immobile!

“Stop your futile struggles.” The Death Dominus said apathetically, “You can’t run from me.”

“Help!”

“O Juggernaut, save us!”

Terrified, the ten Chief Gods begged the Life Dominus for help. They could only pin their hopes on the Life Dominus at this point. She was the only one that could save them now!

“Stop it, Hadas!”

The Life Dominus let out a fierce shout. She wanted to disperse the Celestial Realm power that was imprisoning the ten Chief Gods, but what astonished her was that she had actually failed!

“How can this be?”

The Life Dominus tried once more, but it ended in failure again.

“I forgot to tell you something—not only have I killed the ten Chief Gods under my command, but I’ve also killed the 20 Chief Gods under the Space Dominus’ and the Destruction Dominus’ command, as well as those three that are not under anyone.”

The Death Dominus said dispassionately, “In other words, I’ve already assimilated 33 Chief God divine cores, and I’ve reached an unprecedented level of control over the Celestial Realm.”

“3… 33 Chief God divine cores?”

The Life Dominus almost lost her control over her bladder and wet herself in fear the moment she heard what the Death Dominus said.

33 Chief God divine cores! What kind of concept was that?

Legend had it that one could rival a Supreme God just by assimilating ten Chief God divine cores from high-end existential planes. In that case, now that the Death Dominus had assimilated 33 from the supreme Celestial Realm, how strong must he have become?

Boom!

The bone claw instantly engulfed the ten Chief Gods and thoroughly destroyed them in one move. Only ten Chief God divine cores remained at the spot where they had previously been.

At the sight, the Death Dominus couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile. Once he assimilated these ten Chief God divine cores, he’d have assimilated a total of 43 Chief God divine cores. When that happened, his combat strength would reach an incredible stage. Meng Lei… What was there to fear about him?

Whoosh!

Just as the Death Dominus was about to grab at the ten Chief God divine cores, the Life Dominus also moved. She teleported to the area right in front of the ten Chief God divine cores…

“Stop, you cheap slave girl!”

The Death Dominus’ expression changed at once. Powerful waves of Celestial Realm power emerged from him and went crushing toward the Life Dominus at once. He was dead set on taking those ten Chief God divine cores, so how could he possibly allow the Life Dominus to take them?

Boom!

As though they were torrential tidal waves, surging waves of Celestial Realm power attacked the Life Dominus in an instant, pouring down onto her all at once. The Life Dominus let out a cry and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The Celestial Realm power imprisoned her to the spot right away, and her face turned deathly pale.

“Hmph!”

The Death Dominus caught the ten Chief God divine cores in his hand and gazed coldly at the Life Dominus. He said, “That was a nice idea, cheap slave girl. It’s just a shame that… you’re too weak!”

“Hadas!”

The Life Dominus glared furiously at the Death Dominus, her expression one of savagery.

“As a Juggernaut, you’re too foolish.”

As the Death Dominus erased the Chief God divine spirits inside the divine cores, he also said apathetically, “To think you’re not even trying to strengthen yourself when we’re already in such a crisis. On top of that, you were even dreaming of protecting the Chief Gods under your command. There isn’t any Juggernaut who’s more foolish than you!”

“What do you want, Hadas?!” bellowed the Life Dominus.

“Why bother asking when you already know the answer?”

The Death Dominus let out an icy snort and began to assimilate the ten Chief God divine cores. It was very hard for ordinary deities to assimilate Chief God divine cores. They needed a very long time to do it, such as Puhaman and the others.

However, it was very easy for the Death Dominus to do so. After dripping his blood onto the Chief God divine cores to claim ownership over them, he stored them in his sea of consciousness one by one and successfully refined them.

Boom!

In the instant that the ten Chief God divine cores were successfully assimilated into his body, not only did the Death Dominus’ force of presence not become any stronger, but it even became barely discernible as though it wasn’t even there at all.

Yet the Life Dominus’ face turned even paler at the sight. In this instant, she felt as if the Hadas currently standing in front of her had already merged with the entire supreme Celestial Realm. It was as if… Hadas was the supreme Celestial Realm itself! And the supreme Celestial Realm was Hadas himself!

The Life Dominus knew that this was because Hadas had assimilated too many Chief God divine cores. It was to the extent that he had almost fully refined the whole supreme Celestial Realm!

“This is exactly the feeling!”

A hint of revelry appeared on Hadas’ face as he took in the sensation of the omnipresent Celestial Realm power.

“I feel even more like I’m about to become one with the supreme Celestial Realm now! Of course, I still need the last four Chief God divine cores if I really want to become one with the Celestial Realm!”

Hadas turned to the Life Dominus and said, “On account of how we’re both Juggernauts, why don’t you hand over your Chief God divine core yourself? I can spare your life.”

“Kill me if you’re that capable, Hadas!”

The Life Dominus’ voice was sharp and shrill as she said, “Hahaha, you can’t kill me! My divine spirit was modified by Eternal Energy a long time ago. It is immortal and indestructible and will forever exist. You can’t kill me at all!”

“I certainly can’t, but I can seal you for eternity!” The Death Dominus snorted coldly and reached out at once to gouge out the Life Dominus’ Chief God divine core.

Unexpectedly, it was right at this moment that a series of claps suddenly rang out beside his ear.

“Tsk, tsk! I didn’t expect that I would be in time to watch an entertaining show of people massacring one another. Looks like I’m not too late!”
