As though a Grim Reaper that had descended upon the mortal world, Meng Lei stepped through the air with the blood-red scythe in his hand.
“Today, I shall send you back to the Demon Realm!”
At the sound of what he said, the Ram-Lion was frightened out of its wits at once. It wanted to build a dimensional channel and return to the Demon Realm right away. However, Meng Lei’s movements were faster, and the blood-red scythe instantly slashed across its throat.
Splurt!
Its carotid artery severed, blood spurted everywhere. At once, the Ram-Lion’s eyes widened dramatically, and indignation, hatred, disbelief, and various other complex emotions flashed across its eyes.
“I, a great Demon Lord, have actually died in the hands of a low-end existential plane’s native half-deity?”
Boom!
The light in the Ram-Lion’s eyes gradually dimmed, and its massive carcass crashed onto the ground with a deafening boom.
A divine core glittering with a black divine shine flew out of the Ram-Lion’s head at this point and shot toward the far distance.
“Thinking of fleeing?”
Meng Lei let out an icy laugh and instantly vanished from where he was. The next second, he caught the black divine core in his hand!
“Let go of me, human!”
The Ram-Lion’s mad, furious roars rang out from within the divine core—these were energy fluctuations produced by its divine spirit.
“Since you’re here, then don’t bother leaving!”
Meng Lei smiled calmly and sent the divine core into the Tower of Time along the way. Then, he said, “Dodola, process this divine core for me.”
“Where did you get this divine core?”
Dodola was rather puzzled.
“I’ve just killed a Devil,” Meng Lei answered truthfully.
“This is a true god-level Demon Lord divine core. You’ve actually managed to kill it?”
Dodola was filled with disbelief.
“I used the Grim Reaper Scythe.”
“...”
Dodola fell silent at once. Only after a brief moment did it say, “You’d best not use the Grim Reaper Scythe so frequently. That thing is too unholy!”
“Unholy? I find it very easy to use!”
Meng Lei gave a patronizing reply before landing on the ground outside. He shouted, “Thackeray!”
“Meng... S-sir!”
Fear and horror filled Thackeray, and his legs began to shake. His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Meng Lei.
“I knew you had another divine incarnation the moment I killed your other divine incarnation the last time. That’s why I’m here, but never would I have thought that you’d be this cruel!”
Meng Lei’s voice was calm and tranquil as he said, “Using a million people as sacrificial offerings just to summon that Devil... And gathering another 100,000 toddlers as food just to please it!
“Your actions are perverse to the extreme and practically worse than a beast’s. The heavens cannot condone such heinous actions and your existence!”
“Spare me, sir!”
Thackeray dropped onto his knees with a thud and began to loudly beg for mercy. He said, “I’m willing to submit!”
“Submit? If I spare your life, who’s going to spare the lives of those one million people and those 100,000 toddlers?”
With a cold and aloof expression on his face, Meng Lei said, “Bubbles, Klaus, Nadja, and Seisia!”
“Master!”
The four of them hurriedly bowed.
“Go! Make this wicked clan disappear from Heaven’s Vault Continent!” Meng Lei ordered, “Whether male or female, young or old, spare not a single one of them!”
“Yes, Master!”
The four of them left to carry out their orders. For a while, screams rose and fell as they rang out, and the odor of blood filled the place...
“As for you...” Meng Lei gazed at Thackeray and said, “You like to associate with Devils, don’t you? I’ll satisfy you!”
Then, Meng Lei connected to the Demon Realm and summoned tens of thousands of Devils, including Gabriel the Fire Demon Overlord, whom he had just subdued.
As the strongest Devil among them, the Fire Demon Overlord bowed and asked, “My noble Master, what is your command?”
“Eat him!”
Meng Lei pointed at Thackeray and said calmly, “Remember, don’t give him such an easy death!”
“Don’t worry, Master. I know what I should do!”
The Fire Demon Overlord licked its lips, bloodthirstiness flashing across its eyes as it gazed at Thackeray, who had already started to shake like a leaf a long while ago.
As a Devil, it loved delicious human flesh the most. Moreover, this was even a half-deity’s flesh.
“I won’t disturb you guys, then!”
Meng Lei turned, left the square, and headed toward the Golden Dragon-Lions’ treasury.
“Little ones, you’re in for a treat!
“Don’t fight! Don’t be so anxious! Come one by one, everyone gets a bite each! Don’t any of you take any more than that!”
The Fire Demon Overlord shouted, “If anyone dares to take any extra bites, see if I don’t rip you apart!”
“Yes, Fire Demon Overlord!”
“No, don’t come over! Don’t com— Aaahhhhh!”
Chapter 247: Elemental Heart, Meng Lei Is Dead

Meng Lei couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to Thackeray’s final outcome. He was a doomed man whom nobody could save.
Instead, he found the Golden Dragon-Lions’ treasury and began a new round of ransacking.
As the Golden Archipelago’s local tyrant, even though the Golden Dragon-Lions’ treasury wasn’t as amply-stocked as the Dragon God Empire and the Titan Empire’s treasuries, it wasn’t that bad, either.
The gold coins and Laws of Nature Origin Crystals alone brought Meng Lei earnings of almost 10 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. There were also innumerable other treasures.
Meng Lei didn’t stand on ceremony at all. He packed them all up and made a killing.
By the time he exited the treasury, more than an hour had already passed.
At this point, all that was left of Thackeray was just a pile of ghastly bones. His death was a very sad and tragic one.
