A huge scythe that was fully blood-red in color as though doused in and forged from blood laid within the box.
The handle measured three-meters-long while the blade measured almost two-meters-wide. A blood-red chain was attached to the bottom end.
The incomparably sharp blade glinted coldly in the light, bewitching and evil, bloodthirsty and emanating a dead stillness!
As Meng Lei gazed upon the blood-red scythe, he felt as if he were staring at an incredibly evil demon, and chills ran down his spine.
“What an unholy scythe!”
Meng Lei was astounded. Nevertheless, he still grabbed hold of the blood-red scythe.
Buzz...
The scythe trembled lightly as a few icy glints of light flashed across the buzzing wide and broad blade!
Slash!
Meng Lei brandished the scythe. With a slash, the box, which was forged from an unknown kind of metal, was instantly sundered into two!
The scythe continued to slice through the air, actually slashing a tiny, barely-discernible space-time rift in the air!
“What a sharp scythe this is! It’s even sharper than the blood-red machete! What level of divine weapon is this?”
Meng Lei could hardly believe it. Nevertheless, he still dripped a drop of blood onto the scythe. As though a drop into the ocean, the blood seeped right into the scythe.
“Haha! This divine weapon doesn’t belong to anyone!”
Meng Lei was thrilled!
Buzz...
The scythe began to tremble vigorously.
The next moment, a dense beam of blood-red light shot into the sky. Meng Lei felt the world spinning around him, and then, he actually bizarrely went into a blood-red world!
Blood-red skies, blood-red lands!
Blood-red mountains, blood-red rocks!
An infinite number of dead bodies were strewn all over the blood-red lands!
There were Titan deities that reached as tall as one million feet!
There were Eight-Winged Angels with eight wings on their backs!
There were primordial Colossal Dragons that spanned as long as one million feet!
There were also dead bodies of various other lifeforms, which gave off vast, majestic divine power that Meng Lei didn’t recognize...
But all the dead bodies had a common trait—they were headless!
Yes, that’s right!
Headless!
They were all headless bodies!
“Where have their heads gone?”
Puzzlement filled Meng Lei. Then, he saw a mud monument made out of stacked heads in the middle of the wide, spacious mountain of dead bodies!
There were Titan heads, Dragon heads, Angel heads, as well as the heads of other deities...
An infinite number of heads piled together to form a 100,000-feet-tall mountain of heads, and at the peak of the mountain stood a black figure dressed in a black hood and holding a blood-red scythe!
The howling blood winds blew across the black robe, causing it to flap loudly in the wind. Blood dripped from the blood-red scythe, forming a bewitching and unholy sight.
“Just what kind of unholy weapon is this?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Meng Lei!”
“Meng Lei!”
Dodola’s voice suddenly rang out beside his ear.
Whoosh!
The blood-red world instantly broke into blood-red fragments. Meng Lei then found himself back on the half-plane again, with Dodola currently calling out to him.
“This scythe...”
Meng Lei gazed at the blood-red scythe in his hand, a few beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
“Why aren’t you replying, Meng Lei?”
Dodola started to shout again.
“I’m here, Dodola!”
Meng Lei asked, “Is something up?”
A rather incensed Dodola asked, “What’s wrong with you, kid? Why did you take so long to respond?”
A puzzled Meng Lei asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I discovered something incredible when I was looking up something just now, Meng Lei!”
Dodola said excitedly, “Among all the Steel-Winged Angels of the Angel Gods, there’s only one person that owns a metal-origin divine body!”
Meng Lei quickly asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s that Great Perfection true god!” Dodola snickered as it asked, “Do you know what this means?
“It means that this pair of wings comes from that Great Perfection Steel-Winged Angel! If you can assimilate his bloodline and form a connection with him, you’ll become an impressive figure!”
“Let’s leave the matter of assimilating the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline to another time!” Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he said, “I have a weapon here that I’d like you to take a look at!”

“What the heck! Where did you get this from?”
Astonished by the sight of the blood-red scythe in Meng Lei’s hand, Dodola looked as if it had just seen a ghost.
“I took it from the Titan Empire’s treasury!”
Meng Lei said honestly, “I’ve tested it. This scythe is extremely sharp and has astonishing might. It’s probably a very powerful divine weapon!”
“How does ‘powerful’ even cut it?!”
With a shake of its head, Dodola said, “This is the Grim Reaper Scythe. It’s the companion weapon to the Netherworld’s Grim Reapers and has beheaded so many deities that one can’t even keep count anymore!”
“The Grim Reaper Scythe?” Meng Lei gasped. “What’s a Grim Reaper?”
“The Grim Reaper is also known as the God of Death and refers to the deity that rules over death. Of course, the Grim Reaper doesn’t just represent one person. Rather, the name refers to a whole clan instead—the Death Gods!”
Dodola explained, “Although there are only very few Death Gods in comparison to clans with great numbers like the Titan Gods and the Angel Gods, every single Grim Reaper is an extremely fearsome existence—because all the Grim Reapers are higher deities!”
“They are all higher deities? My goodness, had there been more of them, would other races even have a shot at survival?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. A clan where every single person was a higher deity—just what kind of concept was that?
“Thus, the Death Gods are one of the
