Rahman was the most frightening godhunter leader that Han Shuo knew of in Fort Verka. For such a character to suddenly appear in a gymnasium specially designed to test godhunters, there was definitely something fishy going on!
Han Shuo retreated from the energy tower in front of Barnett. He was in no hurry to leave but carefully observed Rahman and the others' actions. He wanted to know what these true godhunters were up to by coming here.
At present, there were eighty-seven people gathered in the largest gymnasium. Other than twenty-one divine guards from the House of Croton, the rest were cultivators of the edict of destruction. Only half of those who cultivated in the edict of destruction had passed the test. Those who passed the test were not in a hurry to leave but were observing the situation in the energy tower in front of Barnett.
As cultivators of the edict of destruction, they were not in a hurry to leave because the godhunters roaming around Fort Verka had become a threat to their lives. They wanted the House of Croton to figure out the situation and capture those godhunters.
After all, as long as the godhunters were not captured, they, as cultivators of the edict of destruction, would become the targets of those godhunters! The feeling of being treated as prey was not a good feeling for anyone!
It could be said that basically all the lowgods of destruction in Fort Verka had gathered in this gymnasium. Han Shuo was certain that there were godhunters among them. The reason why the energy tower could not detect them was because they had completely fused the divine energy they had absorbed with themselves.
Han Shuo carefully observed the crowd and discovered that the eyes of the dozen or so lowgods of destruction who were originally in the gymnasium started to flicker when they saw Rahman and the others. They secretly communicated with Rahman and the others with their eyes, as though they were preparing for something.
Han Shuo immediately realized that something was about to happen in this gymnasium. He was in even more of a hurry to leave.
"Rahman, why are you here? You cultivate in the energy of darkness. There won't be any problems. "Barnett recognized Rahman and shouted at the approaching Rahman.
"Haha, I brought my friend here to take the test. I'm just cooperating with you," replied Rahman with a warm smile. He did not look as cold and sinister as he did back in the shop. It seemed that this man was very good at disguising himself.
"Thank you!" Barnett expressed his gratitude and instructed the divine guards in front of him, "Make way. Let Rahman and his friends come first."
Rahman was a midgod. But no matter where one was, powerful people would always enjoy special privileges. There were only so many midgods in Fort Verka. As a member of the House of Croton, it was normal for Barnett to be familiar with Rahman.
Rahman led a few people who cultivated in the energy of destruction through the crowd and arrived in front of Barnett. Like Han Shuo, those who had seen the scroll that Rahman had deliberately distributed but did not rebuke him on the spot had all infused their divine energy into the energy tower. The energy tower then emitted white light as usual, indicating that they were fine.
But Han Shuo was almost certain that the people who came with Rahman were the culprits of the murders in Fort Verka. The fact that the energy towers didn't emit white light could only mean that they had fused with the divine powers.
"There's no problem. I believe Rahman is your friend. He wouldn't do something so suicidal." Banite nodded. He seemed to be very familiar with Rahman.
"Of course!" Rahman laughed heartily. However, his eyes were roving all over Eunice's body. He smilingly said, "Miss Eunice, you have been working hard these past few days. Those matters must have troubled you, haven't they?" There was a trace of lecherous glint in his eyes as he looked at Eunice. Those without keen senses like Han Shuo would not have noticed it.
"As a member of the House of Croton, this is what I should do. There's no need to talk about hard work!" Said Eunice coldly. For some reason, she had an instinctive disgust for Rahman. Every time she saw him, she would feel uncomfortable all over.
"Miss Eunice, if there's anything you need my help with, please don't hesitate to ask." Rahman's eyes roamed all over Eunice's body. His gaze lingered on her chest for the longest time.
"No need!" Eunice coldly snorted and flatly refused. Women were very perceptive in this regard. She had long known that Rahman had lusted after her. She was also aware of the sordid affair between Rahman and the salesgirl in the store. Therefore, she was very disgusted with Rahman. No matter how Rahman tried to please her, she would never show him any kindness.
Rahman did not get angry. He merely laughed dryly. When he lowered his head, a fierce glint flashed across his eyes.
"Alright, Rahman. You may leave with your friend." Barnett smiled faintly. He was also aware of Rahman's feelings for Eunice. However, as the House of Croton was in charge of everything in Fort Verka, he was not afraid that Rahman would dare to do anything immoral to Eunice.
Rahman nodded and turned to leave. Along the way, he kept exchanging glances with some of the people in the crowd. Those who met Rahman's gaze all nodded almost imperceptibly, as if telling Rahman that everything was ready.
Han Shuo carefully kept his guard up as he observed every little action of those people. He knew that a good show was about to unfold. Han Shuo, who possessed true strength that allowed him to be unafraid of a late-stage midgod, was not the least bit worried about his own safety. Instead, he wanted to see what Rahman was going to do.
Under Han Shuo's watchful eyes, Rahman had arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium and was about to leave. Han Shuo was astounded. He thought, Did I make a wrong judgment? Could it be that Rahman has no intention of doing anything here?
Right at this moment!
While most of the people's attention was once again focused on the energy tower in front of Barnett, a dark golden sphere suddenly appeared in Rahman's hand. Barnett, Eunice, and the other members of the House of Croton were busy testing the others and did not notice Rahman at all.
Rahman did not let Han Shuo wait a second longer. He immediately tossed the dark golden sphere into the air.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura of destruction violently gushed out from the sphere. It flooded every corner of the gymnasium like a breached dam and formed a Domain of Divinity that enveloped the entire gymnasium!
"What's going on?" The gymnasium was filled with cries of alarm.
There were so many people cultivating in the energy of destruction and the gymnasium was so small. The terrifying energy of destruction that suddenly erupted immediately caused the crowd to gasp in bewilderment.
"Goddammit, who deployed his Domain of Divinity?" some of the people who couldn't figure out what was going on cursed.
Barnett who was testing at the energy tower suddenly had a huge change in expression. He cried out in alarm, "Who is it? This is Fort Verka under the City of Shadows! Who dares to be so presumptuous here? " Barnett could sense that the aura of destruction that suddenly erupted in the gymnasium was not something he could withstand.
"Uncle, the intruder is very terrifying. I have never felt such terrifying energy of destruction!" Eunice, who was relatively calm, softly shouted to Barnett. She was on high alert as though she was facing a formidable enemy.
The dark golden sphere floating above the gymnasium continued to release the aura of destruction. It formed a Domain of Divinity that enveloped the entire gymnasium. When the crowd discovered that the intruder was the dark golden sphere floating above their heads, they raised their heads to look at it. Suddenly, ink-black spheres of light flew out from the dark golden sphere and flew toward the boundary above the gymnasium.
Those ink-black spheres of light attached themselves to the boundary above the gymnasium and started moving at an extremely fast speed. Wherever the spheres of light passed, they would leave behind trails of electricity that changed the structure of the boundary above the gymnasium. The aura of destruction in the gymnasium grew denser and denser.
Han Shuo was greatly astonished. His eyes were glistening as he stared at the boundary. He did not dare to relax for even a moment. The energy of destruction contained in the ink-black spheres of light that flew out from the dark golden sphere was too obvious and too concentrated. Han Shuo, who had been secretly cultivating the Orb of Destruction for some time, could immediately tell that those ink-black spheres of light were Orbs of Destruction!
The Orbs of Destruction were constantly flying above the boundary, leaving behind trails of black electricity that changed the structure of the boundary. This caused Han Shuo to be even more puzzled.
The scrolls that Han Shuo used to cultivate the Orb of Destruction came from Rahman's scroll shop. This made Han Shuo even more puzzled.
"Who are you? Show yourself! " Barnett shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice was extremely penetrating. It appeared that he was trying to attract the attention of the divine guards outside the gymnasium.
"It's useless. No one will be able to hear anything that happens here. Even if you shout yourself hoarse, your voice won't be able to penetrate the barrier!" Rahman suddenly walked back the way he came, a sinister smile on his face. He had a calm expression on his face.
"It's you?" Eunice cried out in surprise. Her pretty face was ice-cold as she asked, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in our Fort Verka? "
"Miss Eunice, you will soon know who I am! Hehe, when I have you under my crotch and toy with you, I will slowly tell you everything! "Rahman no longer concealed his lustful thoughts towards Eunice. He started laughing in an unbridled manner.
"Shameless!" Eunice clenched her teeth and shouted angrily in response to Rahman's lustful gaze and impudent words.
"Rahman, do you know what the consequences of making an enemy of the House of Croton will be?" Barnett took a deep breath to steady his anger that was about to explode at any moment. He stared at Rahman and asked in a calm manner.
Rahman nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, chuckled sinisterly, "Do you really think that a puny House of Croton is worthy of our attention? Poor Barnett, you think too highly of the House of Croton! "
As Rahman spoke, more than twenty people who cultivated in the energy of destruction walked out from the crowd one after another. They stood beside Rahman and made their stand clear.
"Godhunters! They are all godhunters! " Eunice suddenly came to a realization. She pointed at the twenty or so people and shouted. She was so angry that her body was trembling. She secretly blamed herself for not discovering their identities earlier.
Those people standing beside Rahman coldly faced Eunice's accusation and did not utter a word.
"Kill them! Those damned godhunters! Their existence is our nightmare!" Lacey, who was once brought here by Eunice along with Han Shuo, shouted in righteous indignation. He had been fawning over Eunice all this time and it was obvious that he adored her. Now was the perfect opportunity to stand up for her. After he shouted, those victims who cultivated in the energy of destruction immediately responded.
Although Rahman's side had more than twenty godhunters who cultivated in the energy of destruction, Barnett and Eunice had more than twenty divine guards. In addition to those who were not godhunters, Rahman and Eunice's side had more than twenty divine guards.
When Eunice saw that Lacey had taken the lead to help her, she smiled at him as a way of expressing her gratitude. Lacey became even more excited after seeing Eunice's smile. He took the lead and walked towards Rahman and the others. It seemed that he was prepared to take the lead and win Eunice's favor.
Idiot! Han Shuo cursed in his mind. He thought to himself, If Rahman dares to reveal his identity with so few people, it means that victory is already in his grasp. But this Lacey, in order to win Eunice's favor, is he tired of living?
Just as Han Shuo expected, before Lacey could reach Rahman, three Orbs of Destruction fell from the sky in a crisscross pattern and instantly bombarded Lacey's body. He let out a miserable shriek. Under the gazes of the crowd, Lacey's divine body abnormally swelled up. His bony body suddenly expanded to three times its original size and was still expanding.
Poof! A muffled explosion sounded from his body. Lacey's divine body that had expanded to its limit shriveled up at an even faster rate. He collapsed to the ground as though he was boneless. Blood flowed out from every pore of his divine body.
"Impulsive youngsters usually don't come to a good end!" Rahman softly concluded. Soon after, he put on a sinister smile and said, "Why would we show ourselves if we weren't absolutely certain? What do you guys think?"
Upon hearing those words, the group of people that had followed Lacey and were about to attack Rahman and the others came to a sudden halt. After thinking for a moment, none of them dared to act rashly.
"It wasn't easy for us to create such an opportunity to gather all those who cultivate in the edict of destruction together. This is all out of good intentions. As long as you all cooperate with me, I believe that most of you will be fine!" Rahman nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the group had stopped advancing.
"Rahman, we will not compromise with you! Godhunters are nothing but a bunch of scoundrels. Don't even think of making us join your evil deeds! " Shouted Barnett in a cold voice. He took the lead and walked towards Rahman. The divine guards of the House of Croton and Eunice immediately followed behind him.
"It's not up to you to decide whether or not you will join us in our evil deeds!" Rahman put on a mocking smile. He pointed at the godhunters behind him who also cultivated in the edict of destruction and said, "In the past, they didn't know how to use the energy of destruction to devour others. That was why they were content with the status quo. But look, after I told them the method, didn't they become the same kind of people as us? Barnett, you've never tasted that wonderful feeling, that's why you're saying that. If you've used the power of death to devour someone, you'll know that it's the most memorable feeling. Do you want to try it? "
"I want to know what it feels like to kill you!" Barnett was not swayed by Rahman's words. He resolutely walked towards Rahman.
"Barnett, don't be so impulsive. Don't you want to know what I am trying to do?" Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Rahman resorted to another method – to pique Barnett's curiosity.
Clearly, Rahman's method was effective. Barnett stopped, stared at Rahman, and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"You will know very soon!" Rahman proudly pointed at the boundary that enveloped them and shouted to the crowd, "The boundary is shrinking. If you don't want to die, gather at the center. I will bring you to a place where you can escape the fate of being bombarded by the energy of destruction on the boundary!"
Upon hearing those words, the crowd raised their heads and looked at the sky. Sure enough, they discovered that it was just as Rahman said. The boundary that looked like an enormous cover that completely sealed off the gymnasium was shrinking bit by bit as the Orbs of Destruction rolled down. Thin and long electric sparks were leaping on the surface of the boundary, forming waves of energy of destruction.
The dark golden sphere that had been hovering motionlessly above their heads had stopped spewing Orbs of Destruction. It was like an eye coldly looking down at the crowd, giving off a terrifying pressure.
By now, Han Shuo, who was hiding among the crowd, was almost certain that the dark golden sphere was an extremely powerful divine weapon and its owner was absolutely a terrifying highgod cultivating in the energy of destruction. Only a divine weapon in the hands of a highgod could produce such a terrifying effect.
There were approximately three hundred Orbs of Destruction drifting out from the dark golden sphere. All of them attached themselves to the boundary and revolved. Based on what Han Shuo knew about the scroll, he believed that the owner of the dark golden sphere was the person who produced the scroll and mastered the Orbs of Destruction.
It was precisely with this understanding that Han Shuo, who could use the earth elite zombie to leave from the depths of the earth, didn't take advantage of the chaos to escape. Instead, he boldly mingled in the crowd and watched the development of the situation without batting an eyelid.
The boundary outside the gymnasium was still shrinking. Rahman, who was standing at the center of the gymnasium, had erected another Bidirectional Spacetime Portal.
The Bidirectional Spacetime Portal was a special divine weapon used for short-distance teleportation. It was manufactured by mighty gods cultivating in the edict of space and was extremely precious. By utilizing the Bidirectional Spacetime Portal, two people who owned two portals could freely travel back and forth to meet each other. The original creator of the Bidirectional Spacetime Portal was to make it convenient for a couple in a foreign land to meet each other.
That couple did not cultivate in the same energy. One cultivated in a secret location in the north of Elysium that was rich in elemental energy, while the other cultivated in the south of Elysium that was rich in elemental energy. If the couple wished to meet each other, they would have to travel across more than half of Elysium. That was how the Bidirectional Spacetime Portal came into being.
Although the Bidirectional Spacetime Portal could not be used for interplanar teleportation, it could be carried around and was very convenient. As the materials needed to construct the Bidirectional Spacetime Portal were rather precious and could only be manufactured by highgods cultivating in the edict of space, the Bidirectional Spacetime Portal was exceedingly precious and ordinary people could not possibly own one.
Rahman was just a midgod of darkness. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to own such a precious Bidirectional Spacetime Portal. As soon as Rahman erected the Bidirectional Spacetime Portal, Han Shuo immediately realized that it must have belonged to the owner of the dark golden sphere.
While Han Shuo was pondering, Rahman laughed loudly and pointed at the opened portal. He smilingly said, "Go in if you don't want to die! Barnett, if you want to know what's going on, you have to go in too! I don't mind telling you that the boundary around here was created by a highgod divine weapon. If you don't go in, you will die! "
"Hmph, I'll go in and see what you're up to!" Barnett coldly groaned and strode into the portal. However, he seemed to have lost some of his confidence. Han Shuo knew that he had no other choice.
"Little beauty, you go first. I'll be with you shortly!" said Rahman with a big smile when it was Eunice's turn.
"Pooh!" Eunice could not restrain the disgust in her heart. She spat on Rahman's face to make her stand clear.
But when Eunice spat on Rahman's face, she panicked. By then, her uncle Barnett had already entered the portal. Most of the people who stayed behind were on Rahman's side. She was afraid that Rahman would take drastic action.
To the crowd's surprise, Rahman did not immediately flip out. Instead, he reached out his index finger to touch the spittle on his cheek. Then, he put the spittle into his mouth and began sucking on it right in front of Eunice's face. He looked extremely obscene!
"Disgusting!" Eunice was in a panic. She no longer dared to look at Rahman. She entered the Bidirectional Spacetime Portal in an extremely sorry state. Her heart was filled with humiliation and unwillingness!
"Haha … haha …" Rahman laughed maniacally and was extremely pleased with himself. It was only after Eunice disappeared into the portal that his attitude turned cold. He grinned hideously and mumbled to himself, "Eunice, you can't escape from the palm of my hand! When the time comes, I'll let you know what it means to beg for death! "
The barrier around the gymnasium shrank tighter and tighter. Those panic-stricken people entered the portal one after another. Soon, it was Han Shuo's turn to enter.
"Huh?" Rahman stared blankly at Han Shuo for a moment. Then, he suddenly asked in a puzzled tone, "I know you. You've read the contents of the scroll, but you didn't show any extreme reaction. This means that you've also thought of using the devouring method written on the scroll. But why didn't you stand with us? And why didn't you do anything special after that?"
Han Shuo had long known that Rahman was using a special device to clearly see everything that happened inside the shop. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to tell that those people were disloyal and would gradually become his people. Han Shuo was not surprised at all by Rahman's words. He smiled and said, "That's right. I've also read the contents of the scroll and I'm really interested in it. It's just that I've been delayed by some matters and haven't found a target yet. Hehe! "
"Haha, kindred spirits! I'm sure you'll have a target once you enter! " Rahman grinned sinisterly at Han Shuo's words and patted Han Shuo's shoulder. He must have regarded Han Shuo as one of his kind.
"I hope so too!" Han Shuo replied cheerfully and hastily walked toward the portal. However, he was cursing in his heart. Damn it, don't touch me with your dirty hands!
