Vol 18 Chapter 11: A Pleasant Surprise

Odins sudden self-detonation caused the eighty two Deities to be shocked. They all waited nervously.

Suddenly

Linley turned to look towards them. The eighty two Deities immediately said, Lord Linley, we completely obeyed your orders. Please spare us. What we did in the past, we did at the orders of Lord Odin. We had no choice.

They were all begging for mercy.

Father, you cannot spare them! Taylors frantic shout came from behind.

Hrm? Linley turned to look.

Reynolds, by Taylors side, said in an equally frantic voice, Third Bro, these eighty two absolutely cannot be spared. When those Saints were killed, it wasnt Odin who personally did the deed; it was these claws of his. George was killed by this group of people as well, and Dixie was killed by them as well!

It was them. Delia couldnt help but turn and look, her eyes filled with hatred.

What sort of status did Odin have? How could he possibly lower himself to kill Saints? All of these vicious acts had most likely been carried out by these claws of his.

The eighty two began to panic. Lord Linley, we cant be blamed. It was Lord Odins orders.

Linley swept them with a cold look. One of the Deities, terrified, actually began to flee while frantically calling out through divine sense, Flee, quick! He could already sense that things were growing grim from Linleys gaze. As he fled, immediately, the other eighty two began to flee as well.

Some flew into the skies, others drilled into the ground.

Rumble

An earthen yellow aura instantly spread out in every direction, forming an enormous sphere that was thousands of meters in diameter. It even sank two thousand meters into the ground. Within this sphere, the eighty two Deities were completely trapped. Even Seven Star Fiends would find it hard to resist this gravity.

Bang! A minority of them, those who had weak bodies, crumbled and collapsed from the gravity alone.

Fortunately, as long as a Deitys soul wasnt destroyed, death would not come. The eighty two Deities, although controlled by that powerful gravity and being pulled towards Linley, didnt die at least.

Lord Linley. The Deities who had been trying to flee were frantically begging for mercy.

Father. Kill them. Avenge Uncle. Taylor said frantically.

Third Bro. Reynolds said as well.

Linley swept the eighty two with his cold gaze. True, you were the subordinates of Odin and had to obey his orders. But in the past thousand years, none of you have departed from the Yulan Plane. You willingly remained behindand so you were serving Odin and obeying him out of your own free will. You cannot blame others for your death!

If these Deities had wanted to escape Odins control, they couldve simply gone to the Arctic Icecap and departed to the Higher Planes. Odin wouldnt have cared.

Linley, you, you

The eighty two Deities began to beg for mercy in terror, curse in rage, or just mumble. But under that gravitational pull, they flew at high speed to Linleys side. Linley sent out a surge of divine earth power like arrows into the eighty two.

A low rumbling sound could be heard. The eighty two figures transformed into dust.

Wharton, you take care of these things. The floor was littered with divine sparks, interspatial rings, and divine artifacts. They were caught up in a surge of divine power and floated towards Wharton. These Demigod sparks and God sparks, in a material plane, were still very precious.

Wharton immediately collected all of the things.

Lets return. Linley didnt have a hint of a smile on his face. He just charged into the skies.

The forces of Dragonblood Castle immediately flew into the skies as well, leaving behind only two Saints. These two Saints immediately headed towards the surrounded and bound Envoys of the Baruch Empire. Seeing the situation, the soldiers around the Envoys were so frightened, they hurriedly loosened the bonds.

Haha, your Odin Empire is finished. An Envoy said in a clear voice.

The ministers of the Odin Empire all looked at each other. They understood as wellthat in front of the overwhelming power of the Baruch Empire, the Odin Empire had indeed been finished.

The Empire is finished.

This battle in the imperial capital of the Odin Empire and Linleys sudden appearance and killing of Odin as well as eighty two Deities caused the entire Yulan continent to once more enter a state of chaos. Those experts who previously had been subjugated by Odins powerhow could they remain loyal to the Odin Empire now? They immediately rebelled against the Odin Empire.

In the space of a single night, the entire Odin Empire collapsed.

Although Odin had more than eighty two Deities under his control, with a few more scattered throughout the Yulan continent, once they learned that Odin and the eighty two Deities had died, they were so terrified that they immediately fled to the Arctic Icecap, all of them leaving the Yulan Plane.

The Odin Empire disintegrated at an astonishing speed.

And the Baruch Empire? It expanded at an astonishing speed. The entire Yulan continent once more knew of Linleys presence.

Grandmaster Linley, who had disappeared for nearly two thousand years, had suddenly reappeared.

That Emperor Odin had been killed.

The entire Yulan continent was rocked by the news of this battle.

Dragonblood Castle.

It had been nearly half a month since the killing of Odin. During this half month, Linley and Bebe had remained within Dragonblood Castle. Although Linley knew that Odins Death-type clone was in the Netherworld, the Netherworld was simply too vast. How could he find him? It was like searching for a needle in the sea.

Third Bro, drink less. Reynolds said.

At this moment, Linley and Reynolds were seated facing each other within a courtyard, drinking wine. None of them wanted to discuss Odin or Yale. Linley was actually just drinking nonstop, gulping down one bottle after another of wine into his belly.

Third Bro. Reynolds grabbed Linleys arm, forcing Linley to halt.

Linley slammed the bottle to the side, then looked bitterly at Reynolds, sighing softly, Fourth Bro, I feel miserable!

Linley raised his head, tears in his eyes. When I think of what happened to Boss Yale, I feel miserable. Have I avenged him? With all my power, all I did was kill Odins divine wind clone. To Odin, his divine wind clone wasnt nearly as important as his Death-type clone. And that clone is in the distant Netherworld.

And Boss Yale? He was so shattered that you had to go kill him, Fourth Bro. When Linley thought about what Yale had experienced, he couldnt help but feel the rage build in his heart, making it ache. I want to go to the Netherworld and kill Odin, butfinding Odin is too difficult. The Netherworld is simply too vast, too vast!

The Netherworld was like the Infernal Realm; both were Higher Planes.

Just by looking at the Infernal Realm, one could imagine how if Odin had secreted himself into a corner of the Netherworld, that Linley could spend countless years without being able to find him.

Third Bro. Reynolds was heartsick as well, but he consoled Linley, This isnt your fault. Boss Yale did die an unjust deathand extremely unjust one! But if you hadnt returned, we wouldnt have been able to kill even as much as Odins divine wind clone. Youve already done very well. I thinkif Boss Yale knew of this, he would also feel slightly consoled.

Linley laughed bitterly.

At most, slightly consoled.

In terms of pain, in terms of humiliation, in terms of tormentYale had suffered far more than Odin had. The loss of his divine wind clone didnt have too great an impact on Odin. He was still a Seven Star Fiend, and was still a powerful figure in the Netherworld. Whenever Linley thought about how Odin was free to roam the Netherworld, Linley felt the unjustness of it all.

He wanted to torment Odin, but in terms of what he was capable of, he had done all that he could.

Odin truly deserves to die. Linley couldnt help but say this yet again.

He does deserve to die. Ten thousand deaths wouldnt be enough. Reynolds said viciously as well. If he had simply killed Boss Yale, I wouldnt hate him as much as I do right now. But he Whenever Reynolds thought of the last time he had seen Yale and had seen how Yale was at the point of collapse, of that dispirited, tormented body

Yale had been too pitiable!

He had already gone insane.

Alas! Linley was still furious. He couldnt help but slam the table, and with a bang, the table split apart.

Boss, Boss! A voice rang out from afar.

Linley turned to look, only to see a black robed Beirut and Bebe enter together, with Wharton, Delia, Nisse, Wade, and the others following from behind. Beirut looked at the shattered table in surprise. Oh, Linley, what is it? Whyd you smash the table?

Lord Beirut. Linley forced a smile out. He was indeed in a terrible mood.

Feeling angry and upset over what happened to your friend? Beirut laughed calmly.

Linley didnt say a word. Actually, deep in his heart, Linley was still slightly upset at Beirut. Beirut definitely had known that Odins Death-type clone had left the Yulan Plane. But Beirut hadnt stopped him at all. StillLinley didnt say anything.

Because

Why should Beirut help him? The fact that he occasionally helped out was enough. He couldnt always be looking after Linleys affairs.

I know exactly what happened. Beirut let out a low sigh. Originally, I was planning to leave Odin for you to handle. But on one occasion, I was on a visit to inspect the Necropolis of the Gods. During that period of time, Odins Death-type clone left to go to the Netherworld. Beirut voluntarily explained, making Linley feel a surge of gratitude.

Actually, Beirut hadnt needed to explain.

The reason he explained was because he now considered Linley as a member of his family.

The Netherworld. Delia shook her head. The Netherworld is too vast. Finding Odin will be too hard.

Unfortunately, yes. Beirut sighed as well.

Bebe said resignedly, Grandpa just so happened to be in the Necropolis. Jeeze! Suddenly, Bebes eyes lit up and he looked at Beirut. Grandpa, my Boss said that this time, we should go adventure in the Necropolis of the Gods. Help us open it up sometime. This was something which Linley and Bebe had already discussed in the Infernal Realm.

On this return trip, investigating the Necropolis of the Gods was indeed something they had planned. But after the Odin event, Linley was no longer in the mood.

Investigate the Necropolis? Beirut raised an eyebrow, then shook his head. Bebe, theres no point for you going to the Necropolis. As for Linley Beirut looked towards Linley.

Linley couldnt help but listen carefully, musing to himself, When I went to the Necropolis of the Gods, I sensed that deep within it, something was beckoning to me. I wonder what lay hidden deep within.

Linley, you should indeed make a trip to the Necropolis of the Gods. Beirut laughed calmly. However, your strength isnt sufficient yet.

Not yet sufficient? Linley was startled.

In terms of power, he should be decent by now. He was definitely approaching the Asura level. But Beirut actually said his strength wasnt sufficient yet?

Based on what I know, the reason you are at such a level of power has something to do with the Redbud Sovereign. Beirut laughed gently. Your true power is far weaker.

Lord Beirut, when will it be enough? Linley asked.

Beirut laughed softly. When you reach Bluefires level.

Bluefires level?

Linley was slightly puzzled, but then he understood. Actually, he wasnt in the mood to investigate the Necropolis of the Gods either. Yales affair had caused him to feel mentally exhausted and worn out. He had no interest in going right now.

Alas, your friend did indeed die an unjust death. Beirut let out a sigh. Unfortunately, Im not the Emissary of a Netherworld Sovereign. Otherwise, I could go beg a Netherworld Sovereign to have him help you find the undead which your friends spirit was transformed into after dying and being drawn into the Netherworld. If a Sovereign were to intervene, then it would be easy for the undead to regain its former memories.

Linley was stunned.

Spirits are drawn into the Netherworld? Linleys mind seemed to suddenly explode. Right. If a soul isnt destroyed, then a person hasnt truly died. Even if one is drawn into the Netherworld and becomes an undeadthe soul will remain! They can regain their memories as well! Right, Boss Yale, Second Bro, Dixie, andand my father!!!

Linleys face instantly turned red.

Red from excitement!

Linleys greatest regret was his fathers early death, and the unfairness of it. His father didnt know that he had gotten revenge and killed their enemies, and also didnt know that the Baruch clan had been restored to glory.

And Yale, who had died so unjustly. His friend.

Lord Beirut Linley hurriedly spoke out.

Lord Beirut, my elder brother, he Delia spoke out hurriedly as well.

Lord Beirut, then Boss Yale, he Reynolds spoke out as well.

Instantly, everyone began to ask questions frantically and excitedly.
