Snatching it from him?
He wasn’t worried about the others snatching it from him, of course. This was purely just instinct. After all, a Great Perfection divine core was simply too precious, so much so that he couldn’t help but act with extreme caution.
Everyone quickly urged, “Hurry and assimilate it, Ol’ President!”
Although they also desired the Great Perfection divine core, none of them tried to snatch it from Ol’ Amos.
That was something that Meng Lei had specifically handed to Ol’ Amos. How would they possibly have the guts to snatch it from him? Wasn’t that tantamount to committing suicide? It wasn’t as if they were tired of living!
“You don’t need to envy him, guys. Everyone that deserves one will eventually get one!”
Meng Lei’s voice rang out once more and put their hearts at ease once and for all.
Everyone’s hearts began to burn with fervency at once. First a lesser deity divine core, then a higher deity divine core—Master had never disappointed them before!
And now, a Great Perfection divine core... He wouldn’t disappoint them this time, either, of course. Now that the first one had come, next would be the second, the third...
Everyone was filled with anticipation the moment they thought of that.
Suddenly, a puzzled Fatty Hart asked, “How strong exactly is old bro when he can get his hands on even a Great Perfection divine core?”
“Uh...”
Everyone looked at one another and hazarded a guess.
“Great Perfection-level?”
“That seems a little off! How can Master hunt and kill Great Perfection deities and obtain Great Perfection divine cores if he’s only Great Perfection-level himself?”
“That seems to make sense!”
“Could Master be... a Chief God?”
“A... A Chief God?”
“S-surely not?”
Chapter 383: Assembly of The Great Perfection Deities, Divine Core Ownership
“Deep as the oceans, the path of divine core assimilation reaches once begun; from here on out, ascension is all but a stranger”—this saying was no joke.
The moment once one deified by assimilating a divine core, it was basically impossible for them to ever break through their current cultivation stage and ascend to a higher stage by their own efforts. Only by continuing to assimilate even higher-grade divine cores could they become more powerful.
This was exactly the situation that Puhaman and the others were currently in.
They had become lesser deities by assimilating lesser deity divine cores and subsequently became higher deities by assimilating higher deity divine cores. As a result, ascension had become merely an extravagant wish for them now.
If they wished to strengthen themselves further, then their only choice was to assimilate even higher-grade divine cores such as Great Perfection and Chief God divine cores. Only then would they go on to further success and move on to the next level.
For the sake of his subordinates’ Great Perfection divine cores and also to earn more Divinity Crystals at the same time, Meng Lei had developed a hunting plan...
Whoosh!
He got right down to work the moment the thought came to him. A crystal glittering with a ten-colored divine radiance suddenly flew out of the underground and reappeared in the sky. Its fearsome divine power and dazzling divine radiance immediately spread into the surroundings the moment it appeared, forming a great weather phenomenon.
“The Chief God divine core!”
“The Chief God divine core has reappeared!”
The sight naturally caught many experts’ attention. They had been searching for the Chief God divine core everywhere, so how could the Chief God divine core’s sudden reappearance possibly escape their notice?
“The Chief God divine core is over there!”
“Mine! The Chief God divine core is mine!”
“Don’t anyone dare fight with me for it!”
Whoosh!
Innumerable experts raced desperately toward the Chief God divine core with everything they got, wishing they had been born with an extra pair of legs in case others got there ahead of them.
If someone were to overlook the area from a high vantage point right now, they would realize that innumerable streaks of light were currently converging from all directions at terrifying speed. The situation was much like innumerable crocodiles swimming toward a zebra that had appeared in the center of a small stream upon detecting the smell of blood.
Soon, hundreds of high-level higher deities arrived within the vicinity of the Chief God divine core. Among them were also numerous super experts that were already infinitely close to becoming Great Perfection deities.
“It’s mine!”
The group of super experts became even more fervent at the sight of the Chief God divine core. Their speed spiked dramatically, and they grabbed brazenly at the divine core.
Boom!
A fearsome attack suddenly came from afar and struck them mercilessly.
Several shrill cries rang out as the hundreds of experts were sent flying.
The less severe cases suffered injuries and coughed up blood, while the severe ones were maimed and paralyzed.
One could say that they couldn’t get any unluckier than that!
“Hmph! How dare a bunch of weak, lowly ants harbor designs on the Chief God divine core, too! You overestimate yourselves!”
A contemptuous snort rang out, and then someone appeared out of nowhere and came right up to the Chief God divine core.
The man had a pair of horns on his head, a pair of wings on his back, a pair of tails on his bottom, and gave off vast, majestic dragon might.
“Armand Nidhogg!”
Initially, the masses had naturally been furious at being ambushed, but when they saw the person that had appeared out of nowhere, fear and alarm filled them at once, followed by despair.
The newcomer was actually Armand Nidhogg, a Great Perfection deity from the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods!
“How are we supposed to even goddamn fight for the Chief God divine core when even a Great Perfection deity has come!?”
