Dagmar snuck into the Omphalos at all costs. He was prepared to be severely injured or even killed. But why?
It was all for the Quintessence Shard in Han Hao's body!
Greed had destroyed his rationality and made him come here in a frenzy. He could give up on his subordinates who had been following him all this time. But for the Quintessence Shard, Dagmar had completely lost his mind.
When he found no trace of the Quintessence Shard in Han Hao's body, he became hysterical. He grabbed Han Hao's chest and howled, "Hand it over! Hand it over!"
Han Hao looked at the deranged Dagmar with an indifferent face. There was no sadness, no joy, no shock, no fear. It was as though Dagmar was grabbing someone else and he was just an indifferent bystander!
"Commander, someone is coming. Hurry!" That subordinate heard the shrill howls from afar and knew that the experts of the Fringe were gathering here. He hastily warned Dagmar when he saw that Dagmar had lost his mind.
"Han Hao, hand it over and I won't kill you! I promise, I won't kill you! "Dagmar's eyes were as red as blood as he held onto Han Hao tightly as he yelled, enunciating each word.
"Just kill me," said Han Hao coldly.
"Do you really want to die?" Dagmar bellowed. The veins on his forehead bulged. He was in a dilemma. On one hand, he wanted nothing more than to tear Han Hao into pieces. On the other hand, he wanted to know the whereabouts of the Quintessence Shard from Han Hao.
"Commander, we're running out of time!" The voice of one of his loyal subordinates was already sobbing, for Dagmar's usual composure was nowhere to be found, and he had stayed far longer than he had expected.
"Fine, I'll fulfill your wish!" Dagmar roared. He steeled his heart and prepared to kill Han Hao.
All of a sudden, a frigid aura enveloped the entire area. The white, frigid aura instantly fell on Dagmar's body and completely enveloped him. The bone-chilling power immediately affected Dagmar, causing his limbs to stiffen and making him unable to exert his strength for a moment.
At the same time, the frigid aura rapidly spread from Dagmar to the surroundings. Dust, gravel, and wood were all frozen. Dagmar's aura that had locked onto Han Hao suddenly broke!
The frigid aura seemed to have a life of its own. It affected Dagmar, his subordinates, and even inanimate objects. However, it spared the Little Skull, Han Hao, in Dagmar's hand!
Han Hao, who had been prepared to be killed by Dagmar's attack, keenly grasped this rare opportunity. The moment Dagmar and his subordinates were trapped by the frost energy, he immediately retreated and fled from Dagmar's side without a care for anything else.
Although Dagmar's hand had reached into Han Hao's chest, it didn't take his life. This was because Dagmar knew that the Quintessence Shard was his main target. When his other hand reached into Han Hao's abdomen and discovered that there was no trace of the Quintessence Shard, he immediately withdrew his hand without destroying Han Hao's body.
Of course, due to the uniqueness of this body, Han Hao wouldn't die so easily even if Dagmar crushed his internal organs. He would still be able to live on peacefully. After all, this body was different from a normal human's. It was not as if all the internal organs in the body had exploded, and all the body's functions would stop.
"Dagmar, how dare you come to the Omphalos! You're courting death!" A cold and stern voice sounded from not far away. Wasis, one of the Five Sovereigns of the Fringe, was the first to arrive. He managed to free Han Hao from Dagmar's grasp just in time.
As soon as Wasis finished shouting, he appeared in front of Dagmar. An enormous Domain of Divinity instantly enveloped the entire area. A frigid aura several times colder than that of an ice cave descended. Even the ground seemed to have been frozen and cracked. Bone-Chilling cracking sounds could be heard.
Dagmar's momentary lapse in concentration gave Wasis the opportunity to attack his body with the frigid aura. However, Dagmar was an Overgod just like Wasis. His strength was well-known in the Godhunter Alliance. Although Wasis's frigid aura had injured him in an instant, the frigid aura also allowed Dagmar to recognize the situation.
After circulating the energy of death in his body a few times, the frigid aura that had invaded his body was cleansed by Dagmar. He extended his hand and the element of death from the Omphalos frantically converged towards him. A dusky mist immediately enveloped the area and neutralized the frigid aura, causing the temperature to rise.
"Hegemon, run!" shouted one of Dagmar's subordinates at the top of his lungs.
It was at this moment that Dagmar realized how dangerous the situation was. Other than Wasis, he sensed that Ossora, a cultivator of the energy of earth, was also rushing over. Tyre and Logue's auras were faintly discernible. They shouldn't be too far away.
If he couldn't escape from the Omphalos before the four of them surrounded him, it was very likely that he would be trapped in the Omphalos for the rest of his life. He gritted his teeth and took out a green crystal ball. He shouted, "Let your souls fly out!"
Those subordinates of Dagmar were delighted to hear that. Without hesitation, they released their divine souls from their bodies and flew into the green crystal ball in Dagmar's hand. As soon as their souls entered the green crystal ball, Dagmar waved his hand and released a few strands of the energy of death into the divine bodies of his subordinates.
As soon as the energy of death entered their bodies, their divine bodies suddenly swelled up. A surge of deathly stillness kept growing in their bodies. Their divine bodies were like balloons that slowly grew bigger and bigger.
Wasis, who was planning to stop Dagmar with all his might, was horrified to see the divine bodies suddenly rising into the sky and expanding. He immediately retreated and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Little Skull Han Hao, who was not far from Dagmar, hastily retreated when he saw the divine bodies rising into the sky. As a cultivator of the energy of death, he knew that Dagmar was using the divine bodies of his highgod subordinates to perform the Corpse Explosion Art. Therefore, he was faster than anyone else.
As expected, after Wasis shouted, the divine bodies of Dagmar's subordinates suddenly exploded. Intense energy of death was released from their bodies and soared into the sky. It instantly tore a hole in the boundary that enveloped the Omphalos.
Dagmar, with the green crystal ball in his hand, seized the opportunity to disappear from the Omphalos in a flash.
"Go after them!" shouted Wasis as he raised his head to look at the sky.
Together with Wasis, the three figures rose into the sky at the same time. The boundary of the Omphalos did not seem to hinder them at all.
Han Hao raised his head to look at the sky and memorized the positions of the other three. Ossora was the closest, only a few thousand meters away. Tyre and Logue were about ten thousand meters away. Han Hao roughly guessed that Tyre and Logue should be in the vicinity just now. As for Ossora, Han Hao could not see anything wrong with him. However, he was rather surprised that Ossora arrived so much later than Wasis.
Wasis, why was he so fast? Why did he help me? Han Hao was rather puzzled. He could tell that Wasis had been protecting him. If it wasn't for Wasis's sudden arrival, if it wasn't for Wasis's timely sealing of the boundary with his frigid energy, this half-finished avatar would have been torn to shreds by Dagmar!
Logically speaking, Wasis should not have cared about Han Hao's existence when he came to deal with Dagmar. Han Hao's frigid energy didn't seem to be giving him special treatment. After all, Wasis had no relationship with the Han family. Wasis had even been defeated by Han Shuo at the mouth of the volcano. No matter how Han Shuo looked at it, Wasis shouldn't have been so careful to protect Han Hao.
"Chief, are you alright?" While Han Hao was pondering, Polo walked out of Dagmar's bone prison with blood all over his body and asked worriedly.
Han Hao shook his head and calmly replied, "I'm fine. How about you guys?"
"Dagmar left early and did not continue to exert his energy on us. Therefore, we only suffered some light injuries. There's no problem, "Polo said to Han Hao in a relaxed manner while wiping the blood off his body. His face did not show the slightest sign of pain.
Having stayed in the Fringe for a long time and being a godhunter himself, injuries of this degree were nothing to Polo. Han Hao's other subordinates did the same. They stopped the bleeding as quickly as they could. After they were done, they sat cross-legged on the ground to recover the energy they had consumed. They wanted to use every second to stabilize their injuries and recover their strength.
This was the code of conduct they had learned from Han Hao ever since they started following Han Hao. No matter when or where, they must maintain their strength at their peak so that they can deal with any ambushes that might come at them at any time.
"It's good that you're alright. Let's all sit down and rest!" Han Hao nodded and took the lead to sit cross-legged on the ground, ignoring Wasis and the others who were chasing after him.
In Han Hao's opinion, this body wouldn't be of much help. Therefore, he did not participate in the battle. Dagmar had not hesitated to use the divine bodies of his top experts to perform Corpse Explosion. Moreover, he had done it so decisively that he had a backup plan.
They were all overgods. Dagmar was fleeing with all his might while Tyre, Logue, and the others did not come immediately because they wanted to see Dagmar get killed. Therefore, they were unable to surround Dagmar. In Han Hao's opinion, it was very likely that Dagmar would be able to escape and Tyre and the others would return empty-handed.
Han Hao, who was sitting cross-legged, was still letting his imagination run wild. This body was only a half-finished product to begin with and there was no need for it to recover. Now that the matter was over, the strand of his divine soul would return to his main body and he would have to give up on this half-finished body. Therefore, Han Hao did not plan to waste his energy on recovering this body.
Why did Wasis help me? Did Ossora betray me? Otherwise, why would he arrive even later than Wasis? A series of questions surfaced in Han Hao's mind. He knitted his brows and slowly pondered.
Time passed without anyone noticing. When the Fringedwellers arrived, they discovered that Dagmar was nowhere to be found. Han Hao sat cross-legged on the ground without a care for his surroundings. Blood was still flowing out of his chest. Some of the Fringedwellers suddenly had other thoughts in their minds.
Some of them couldn't help but harbor evil thoughts. Their gazes toward the little skeleton were a little strange.
Han Hao had been roaming the Fringe for a long time and had offended so many people that he had lost count. Those who bore grudges against him usually feared Han Hao's strength and dared not act recklessly. But today, it was obvious that Han Hao was gravely injured and even his trusted subordinates, Polo, were covered in blood. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Some of the leaders of the Fringe did not know about the relationship between Han Hao and Han Shuo. Therefore, they stayed in the same spot with ferocious gazes. They observed Han Hao, Polo, and the others from the dark. It was obvious what they were thinking.
"The Omphalos has its own rules. For many years, no one has dared to attack Tanai in the Omphalos. Hehe, do you want to try?" said Polo with a mischievous smile as he swept his eyes across the dust-filled area.
Han Hao did not say a word. He closed his eyes and paid no attention to these small fries who only dared to harbor evil intentions.
Polo's sneer caused many of the people to silently retreat. They realized that fighting in the Omphalos was not a good idea. Fighting in the Omphalos would not end well for the Five Sovereigns, especially at such a sensitive time.
Gradually, the observers left one after another. Other than the corpses of the merchants that littered the ground, everything returned to normal.
Right at this moment, a shadow slowly appeared in the surging dust, unhurriedly walking in this direction.
The corners of Polo's mouth curved into a grin. He suddenly stood up and said with a malevolent face, "So there's someone who isn't afraid of death!" He had suffered only minor injuries and possessed late-stage highgod strength. In the Omphalos, other than the Five Sovereigns and Han Hao, he feared no one.
Other than him, there were also a few of Han Hao's subordinates who didn't suffer any serious injuries. Polo didn't think that Han Hao would be at a disadvantage even if all of them attacked him at the same time, let alone Han Hao who came alone.
A tall figure gradually emerged from the dust-filled area. Ignoring Polo and the others who were glaring at him, the tall figure calmly looked at Han Hao who had suddenly opened his eyes and smilingly asked, "Are you Han Hao?"
"Who are you?" asked Polo coldly. It seemed that he was about to attack.
"Polo, stop!" Shouted Han Hao suddenly. When he saw that Polo was staring blankly, he nodded and said, "I am Han Hao!"
"Hehe, it seems that you know who I am. Very good, very good. This will save me a lot of trouble." He smiled and nodded. Suddenly, intense soul undulations emanated from his body and enveloped Han Hao.
After a few seconds, the man shook his head in disappointment and sighed, "Not really …" Then, he turned around and left without looking at Han Hao, disappearing into the cloud of dust.
