Meng Lei turned to Gaianos and the other four deities and asked calmly, “So, who’s next?”
Meng Lei’s gaze greatly alarmed the five Great Perfection deities and gave them incredible pressure. They hastily began to communicate with one another via their divine spirits in search of a solution.
“What should we do, everyone?”
Marshall, the Great Perfection-level Angel God, said, “That guy is unfathomably strong. If we continue to engage in fierce battle with him, it’s very likely that we’ll end up like Ebenezer. Why don’t we... Retreat instead?”
The other Great Perfection deities fell silent at once. They couldn’t accept such an outcome at all. They were Great Perfection deities; how were they supposed to face the world if they retreated just like that?
Yet if they didn’t...
They really didn’t have the guts to battle Meng Lei!
Just as the five Great Perfection deities were caught in a dilemma, Meng Lei spoke once more. He looked at Gaianos and said calmly, “You made the most noise just now, so you’ll do.”
Gaianos’ eyelid twitched, and he instantly tensed up. However, before he could respond, Meng Lei had shown up right in front of him like a phantom.
They made eye contact.
Meng Lei gave him a slight smile.
A huge shudder went through Gaianos.
The next moment, a blood-red glint flashed across, and the Grim Reaper Scythe instantly cleaved onto Gaianos’ neck with a crisp clink.
Then, something awkward happened:
Apart from causing a series of sparks, the Grim Reaper Scythe wasn’t able to slice open Gaianos’ skin at all. In fact, the blade even curled somewhat.
“(⊙o⊙)”
Meng Lei was stunned for a second before an embarrassed smile formed on his face. He said, “Sorry, I forgot to enhance it!”
No matter what, Gaianos was a Titan with a Great Perfection-level body. Not only did he possess Herculean strength, but his body was also incredibly strong and powerful. How could his divine body’s defenses possibly be sub-par?
On the other hand, the Grim Reaper Scythe was just an ordinary high-tier divine weapon. While it would do if one were just trying to slice open a higher deity, it was somewhat inadequate if they were trying to slay a Great Perfection deity instead.
But no matter, he could just enhance it.
“Ding! The Grim Reaper Scythe is currently an intermediate high-tier divine weapon and will rival that of an advanced high-tier divine weapon after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 6 million Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”
“Yes, enhance it!”
Whoosh!
A blood-red glow flashed across the Grim Reaper Scythe, causing the aura around it to become even more unholy. As the blood-red glow intensified, the blade’s curled edge also returned to being straight and level, becoming even sharper and chillier than before, as well as receiving an upgrade in level.
“This isn’t enough, though. Enhance it further!”
“Ding! The Grim Reaper Scythe is currently an advanced high-tier divine weapon and will rival that of a Great Perfection-level high-tier divine weapon after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 1.2 billion Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”
“Yes, enhance it!”
Whoosh!
Another blood-red glow flashed past...
Just as Meng Lei was in the midst of enhancing the Grim Reaper Scythe, Gaianos finally snapped back to reality.
“Die!”
He raised his gigantic fist and smashed it toward Meng Lei without a second thought. Although he didn’t know why Meng Lei had suddenly frozen in mid-air... It didn’t matter as long as he could kill him!
Boom!
Gaianos’ punch was filled with incredible might. It smashed ruthlessly into Meng Lei, sending him flying like a launched cannon.
“Attack!”
Adolphus, Burnside, and the other two hurriedly launched into a flurry of attacks at the sight.
“Holy Judgment!”
Marshall, the Great Perfection-level Angel God, roared furiously. A huge light sword that flashed with platinum-silver light descended from the sky, stabbing right at Meng Lei’s head.
“Dragon Breath of Destruction!”
Adolphus, the Great Perfection-level Colossal Dragon God, also let out a loud and sonorous dragon roar. He opened his mouth and sprayed out a wave of violet-red dragon breath that blasted Meng Lei mercilessly.
The violet-red dragon breath contained extremely great destructive power capable of wrecking everything in the world. The moment it appeared, it destroyed the dimension around it without any prior warning whatsoever.
“Berserk Punch!”
Burnside, the Great Perfection-level Behemoth God, let out a bellow. His divine body started to furiously expand, instantly becoming as big as 1,000,000-feet-long, and he threw a punch.
“Inextinguishable Phoenix Flames!”
Roald, the Great Perfection-level Fire Phoenix God, emitted a crisp and clear cry as he transformed into his true form, the Fire Phoenix. Crimson-gold flames burst forth with a strong flap of his fiery-red wings as he tried to burn Meng Lei into ashes.
“Ten Thousand Thunderbolts!”
Gaianos didn’t stay idle, either. He knew very well the true essence of the saying “Kick a man when he’s down”. He brought out a pair of hammers with a flip of his wrists and smashed them viciously against each other.
Crackle!
The two hammers crashed against each other, producing dazzling violet thunderbolts that struck mercilessly at Meng Lei.
For a moment there, a gigantic light sword, Dragon Breath of Destruction, Berserk Punch, Inextinguishable Phoenix Flames, and violet thunderbolts came blasting from five different directions, their terrifying might seemingly going to crush Meng Lei and reduce him to dust.
“Look out, Master!”
The tremendous might flattened the Great Prophet, Olio, and the others to the ground, rendering them limp and unable to even speak. All they could do was shout furiously in their hearts and watch helplessly as the series of attacks engulfed Meng Lei.
Boom!
A destructive force capable of wrecking the world erupted as the five attacks landed on Meng Lei. The place where he stood instantly became a black hole. Violent, raging energy waves shot into the surroundings. Even
