Outside of Ethereal City, that subordinate of Polo who walked out of Baum's City Lord's mansion suddenly felt extremely uneasy. His face darkened and he suddenly let out a low whistle.
Not long after, a dozen or so dark shadows flew out from the depths of the forest and immediately surrounded him.
He solemnly handed the big bag in his hand to one of them and said in a deep voice, "I don't know why, but I feel that something isn't quite right!"
"Lord Kodiak, you are being too cautious," one of the godhunters flattered. He smilingly asked, "Should we head back immediately?"
Kodiak nodded and replied, "I have left a message in the city. Han Hao will surely find us when he sees it. Everyone, please be careful. This divine body is worth two million black crystal coins. It took me a lot of persuasion to get it from Baum. We must not lose it."
"I don't think anyone would want to snatch a soulless divine body, right?" the godhunter smilingly replied.
"Maybe not!" Kodiak bunched his brows and looked behind him.
Little Skull Han Hao did not conceal his figure or aura at all. He deliberately let Kodiak sense his presence. He slowly walked out of the forest, threw a big bag of black crystal coins at Kodiak's feet, and said, "Here are the remaining black crystal coins. Give me the divine body!"
As soon as Kodiak saw that it was Little Skull Han Hao, he heaved a sigh of relief. He first respectfully saluted Little Skull Han Hao in the manner of a godhunter before he smilingly said, "So it's you." Kodiak looked at the big bag of black crystal coins at his feet and said rather awkwardly, "The divine body is supposed to be yours. It's just that His Lordship told us to bring it back first. Why don't you come with us?"
Han Hao shook his head and walked straight to the godhunter who was carrying McKinley's divine body. He took the divine body from him and said to Kodiak in an indifferent tone, "Go back and tell Polo that the body is in my hands. I will give you all the black crystal coins. This deal is over!"
Upon finishing those words, Little Skull Han Hao did not even look at them. He grabbed McKinley's divine body and left hastily.
"This?" That godhunter who was fawning over Kodiak put on a bitter smile and asked, "Will there be any problems?"
"Let's see if we have enough black crystal coins." Kodiak waited for Han Hao to leave before he immediately opened the bag of black crystal coins at his feet. He lowered his head to check the coins and said with a smile, "Sure enough, this Han Hao is really straightforward. Let's go back and report to Master Polo. Since we are out of Ethereal City, I don't think Master Polo will blame us. "
…
Tanai and Little Skull Han Hao tossed the big bag to the ground and opened the animal skin wrapping the bag, revealing an ice crystal coffin. Inside the coffin was a well-preserved divine body that had lost its divine soul.
"The Ice Crystal Coffin can keep McKinley's divine body in an active state. How thoughtful of Baum." Han Shuo smilingly touched the Ice Crystal Coffin and carefully sensed for a moment before he said, "Baum has left his unique imprint on the coffin. Fortunately, we are not in Ethereal City. Otherwise, he would be able to sense it as soon as we touch the coffin."
As Han Shuo spoke, a stream of demonic yuan flowed into the Ice Crystal Coffin. It looked like a black thread swimming around McKinley's divine body inside the coffin, slowly melting away the imprint Baum left on McKinley's divine body.
After a while, Han Shuo withdrew his hand and took out the Holy Grail that contained McKinley's divine soul.
"I can feel it, I can feel it. It's been ten thousand years. Finally, I can feel it …" Before Han Shuo could speak, McKinley's divine soul inside the Holy Grail emitted a strong fluctuation. McKinley's mind was in a complete mess. The Holy Grail that contained his divine soul was glistening with divine light.
The divine body inside the Ice Crystal Coffin was McKinley's. Naturally, McKinley could sense the existence of his divine body at such a close distance. He was so excited that he became incoherent. His ten thousand years of waiting had finally come to an end. He no longer had to live in the dark Holy Grail. To McKinley, there was nothing more exciting than the reunion of his divine soul and divine body.
The Holy Grail transmitted a message to McKinley's divine soul. Gradually, a hazy shadow floated out of the Holy Grail. Han Shuo had removed the energy that imprisoned McKinley in the Holy Grail. McKinley could now fly out of the Holy Grail unimpeded.
After McKinley's hazy divine soul came out of the Holy Grail, it carefully moved towards the crystal coffin. Like a drop of water falling into the sea, it smoothly melted into the crystal coffin.
Suddenly, a strong spatial fluctuation came from the crystal coffin. With a crack, the crystal coffin was covered in cracks. The pale skin of McKinley's divine body inside the crystal coffin slowly turned rosy. The aura of life finally appeared on his divine body.
McKinley in the crystal coffin was an elderly man with sparkling white hair. His white eyebrows were so long that they reached his cheeks. However, his skin wasn't soft at all. Instead, he was as muscular and strong as a young man. When the aura of life emerged in his divine body, he discovered that McKinley's entire body was rapidly transforming.
Gradually, his face turned rosy. His muscles became more and more taut. His eyelids twitched and he opened his deep and bright eyes.
With a loud bang, the crystal coffin finally broke into pieces. McKinley moved his limbs and shook his head excitedly. He subconsciously shouted, "Haha, Baum, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm back! I'm back! Phil, I'm finally back! Just you wait, just you wait! "
Han Shuo and Little Skull stood to the side. Their gazes fell on McKinley, watching him shouting and yelling. Both of them knew that McKinley had stayed inside the Holy Grail for god knows how many years. Now that his divine body and divine soul had been reunited, and his strength had been restored, he was no longer a pushover.
It was no wonder that he was so excited to see the light of day again after holding it in for so long.
After a long while, McKinley finally calmed down. He laughed heartily and hugged Han Shuo. He said, "Thank you, Brian! I really didn't expect that you would help me recover my body. This is unbelievable. I don't even know how to thank you! "
Han Shuo felt very uncomfortable being hugged so tightly by such an old man. He struggled a little and pushed McKinley away. He smilingly asked, "How do you plan to deal with Baum? If you are willing, I can help you get rid of Baum when we return!"
The position of City Lord of Ethereal City originally belonged to McKinley. Once Baum was dead, McKinley would very likely become the new City Lord. To Han Shuo, his relationship with McKinley was much closer than his relationship with Baum. Once McKinley became the new City Lord of Ethereal City, it would be much more beneficial to Han Shuo's future development.
"I can help you refine many space divine weapons. You know, this is what I'm best at. Interplanar transportation matrices, magical mirrors, whatever you need, I can refine them for you," McKinley promised with a hearty laugh. He knew what Han Shuo needed the most.
On Elysium, divine weapons of the space element were extremely rare. They were not something that an average alchemist could forge. Therefore, divine weapons of the space element were very expensive. Sometimes, even if one had enough black crystal coins, one might not be able to find a suitable expert in the edict of space to forge a divine weapon for them.
McKinley had reached an extremely high realm in the cultivation of the energy of space. If he dared to make such a promise to Han Shuo, he must be really good at it. And this was precisely what Han Shuo lacked the most. Therefore, upon hearing McKinley's promise, Han Shuo was overjoyed. He smilingly said, "That's great!"
"But not for the time being. I need to make a trip to the Temporal Temple and report my experience to the Overgod. As long as the Overgod approves, I can immediately return and deal with Baum. Since Baum is currently the City Lord of Ethereal City, I will have to seek the Overgod's permission before killing him, no matter what he has done, "McKinley said to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo understood McKinley's concerns. He nodded and said, "No problem. I am currently at the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy in Ethereal City. Come and find me after you have sought the Overgod's permission." The Divine Temple of the Space Overgod must be located in a secluded location in the Space Dominion. McKinley must know the way to the Space Dominion if he could obtain the Mark of the Overgod.
"Alright, see you later," McKinley said smilingly. The excitement on his face had yet to recede.
"Off you go. It's more important to take care of your business first!" Han Shuo knew that McKinley couldn't wait to get his revenge and therefore urged him.
McKinley thanked Han Shuo profusely and promised that he would find Han Shuo as soon as he was done reporting the matter to the Overgod. He would help him make a few of his most commonly used space divine weapons. He seemed to be very embarrassed. In the end, under Han Shuo's urging, McKinley finally bade farewell to Han Shuo. He prepared himself for a moment before he tore open a spacetime rift and disappeared into it.
"Father, do you think he will succeed?" Little Skull, Han Hao, seemed a little unsure. He asked, "Baum has been the City Lord of Ethereal City for a long time. He has become even closer to the Overgod. Do you think the Overgod will not believe McKinley's words?"
"Who knows! But judging from McKinley's confident look, he seems to have something up his sleeves. Maybe he has some secret trump card, "Han Shuo thought for a moment and suddenly felt that what Little Skull, Han Hao, said made sense.
… …
Two days later, Han Shuo, Little Skull, Han Hao, and Han Hao returned to Ethereal City. While Han Hao was inspecting Metal Elite Zombie's injuries, he suddenly sensed that the entire Ethereal City seemed to shake.
Han Shuo was startled. The demon general that was observing Baum suddenly saw that the City Lord's Mansion was shrouded in a violent spacetime fluctuation. The spacetime fluctuation carried an unparalleled energy and crushed the entire City Lord's Mansion into dust. All the divine guards in the City Lord's Mansion were suddenly killed.
"No! Spare me, Overgod! "screamed Baum from the center of the mansion.
Hundreds of Space Blades descended from the void and slashed at Baum's body. Baum did not let out another cry. His entire body was reduced to ashes by the Space Blades. Nothing was left of him.
Han Shuo felt an intense stinging pain in his consciousness. The next moment, Han Shuo discovered that the demon general that was placed in the City Lord's mansion was also affected and exploded. The last image that the demon general transmitted to Han Shuo was the flattened City Lord's mansion. Not a single person was left alive in the enormous mansion!
