Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Occupying Golden Tiger City, World-in-Hand Recovery
"Foolish girl, how could anything happen to me?" John said cheerfully, stroking Sini's hair as he gently comforted her with a look of affection.
"By the way, John, is everyone else okay?" Sini couldn't help but worry about the safety of the others.
"I ran into Tony and Ben in Quahog City before. When I found out you were here, I rushed right over." John briefly explained what had happened during this time.
Boom! Boom!
At that moment, a series of explosions echoed through the air.
Mole and the others were still in the midst of a chaotic battle.
Originally, he wasn't a match for Black Panther and Blood Wolf, but when they saw that John had destroyed Golden Tiger City and slain Golden Tiger, they were thrown into disarray and tried to flee.
However, Mole now had newfound confidence and held on tightly to both of them.
John glanced over at the battle and spoke up, "Let's deal with these few first."
"Alright!" Sini responded excitedly. Her time in the Realm of Chaos hadn't affected her strength much. If it weren't for Golden Tiger's trap, she wouldn't have been captured by them in the first place.
The two of them moved in unison, charging toward the group.
Whoosh!
The gray mist surged, the Power of the Nine Nether stirred, infused with the formidable power of The Heaven Law, easily suppressing the three.
Sini's strength far exceeded John's at present.
As soon as she made a move, the three opponents immediately felt like they were facing a great threat.
Mole quickly shouted, "Humans, we're on the same side!"
"Heh, who's on your side?" John sneered, showing his disdain. From the start, he had only been using this guy.
Hum!
The hum of sword intent rang out as he and Sini simultaneously launched an attack on the three.
"Despicable! Big Brother, Third Brother, let's team up to deal with these two humans!" Mole hurriedly said.
"Fine!" Black Panther and Blood Wolf hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Though they were reluctant, they knew they weren't a match for John and Sini.
The powerful Law of Power surged, enveloping them.
The Seven-Star Awakened One Law had already been comprehended to over 90%, making their strength formidable.
But John wasn't the least bit afraid. In the previous battle, he had slain many Four-Star Awakened Ones, further increasing his strength. Now, when facing Seven-Star experts, he no longer found himself in a passive position.
Moreover, Sini was with him.
"Sini, deal with Mole," John said. Mole had already transformed into the Body of the Earth Element, mastering Earth Evasion. If he wanted to escape, John knew he wouldn't be able to stop him.
"No problem!" Sini's mind shifted, and the Power of the Nine Nether condensed into sharp blades. At the same time, her soul attack was unleashed, striking at Mole.
John, on the other hand, charged at Black Panther and Blood Wolf.
"Seeking death!" the two roared in anger, showing no fear at all.
They realized that John was able to slay Golden Tiger because he had countered the opponent's World-in-Hand ability, and right now, he wasn't in his giant form. They were certain that he wasn't a match for them.
The two of them moved in sync, one attacking from the left and the other from the right, launching themselves at John simultaneously.
With his strength increased, John was still at a disadvantage, being surrounded by two Seven- Star powerhouses. He found himself in a passive position, struggling to keep up.
"Human, with your level of skill, you dare to oppose us? Today, I'll kill you to avenge Big Brother!" Black Panther bellowed, his figure flickering as he moved with ghostly speed, unpredictable and elusive.
"Hmph, just you two?" John sneered, anger flaring as he activated the Chaos Force that had just recovered within him.
Whoosh...
A violent gust of wind whipped through the air, and a terrifying pressure spread out. John unleashed Heaven and Earth Transformation, and once again, he turned into a towering giant, stretching to unimaginable heights.
Boom!
He swung a massive fist, sending shockwaves through the air. The black-robed Black Panther was unable to defend, coughing up blood as he was blasted backward, flying through the air
uncontrollably.
"Big Brother!" Blood Wolf cried out in shock. Just as he was about to rush to his companion's aid, a shadow fell over him, a gigantic hand descending from above.
Bang!
Another loud crash resounded as Blood Wolf was slapped away by the enormous hand.
"Die!" John's cold voice echoed in the air as his sword intent hummed. A longsword flew from his body, slicing through the air toward Blood Wolf.
It was the Immortal Sword, one of The Immortals' legendary treasures.
"No..." Blood Wolf cried in terror. He struggled to get up, trying to evade the blow, but it was already too late.
Blood splattered everywhere as the longsword pierced through his skull.
[You have killed a Seven-Star Awakened One. Plunder talent activated. Strength restored by 0.0001%.]
The system prompt flickered as John's attack continued without pause. He activated Sword Mastery, controlling the Immortal Sword as it made its way toward Black Panther.
"Third Brother!" Black Panther's voice was filled with both fury and fear. He hastily tried to dodge, no longer focused on seeking revenge, and made a desperate attempt to escape into
the void.
"Hmph, you can't escape." John sneered. He took a step forward, blocking Black Panther's retreat.
With a flash of cold light, he unleashed the Flying Sword Strike.
Whoosh!
Blood sprayed as Black Panther's head was cleaved off and sent flying through the air.
The system prompt flickered again as John's Plunder talent activated, and his strength was once more slightly restored.
With the death of Black Panther and Blood Wolf, several crystal balls dropped from their bodies, but John paid them no mind, casually pocketing them.
Meanwhile, Sini's battle with Mole was drawing to a close.
The Power of the Nine Nether was mysterious and unpredictable, carrying a powerful soul attack. Mole's Earth Evasion was of no use against Sini. Even if he transformed his body into an elemental form, he couldn't avoid the damage of the Power of the Nine Nether. "Human, you won't die peacefully. Lord Forest King won't let you go!" Mole cursed angrily as he was engulfed by the overwhelming Power of the Nine Nether, leaving no trace of his body
behind.
"So weak!" Sini said, a look of dissatisfaction still lingering on her face.
John also canceled his Heaven and Earth Transformation state and collected the few items that Mole had dropped. Then, as if remembering something, he turned to Sini and asked, "Sini, when you killed this guy, did you Plunder any attributes?"
When John killed enemies, his Plunder talent activated, allowing him to restore some of his strength, but he didn't typically gain any new attributes through Plunder.
"Mm." Sini nodded. "Mostly basic attributes and the Power of Laws. It seems like the strong in this world put a lot of focus on mastering laws."
"Is that so?" John felt relieved. As long as his Plunder talent was able to recover attributes, that was all that mattered. He needed to keep slaughtering powerful opponents to restore his
own attributes.
"Let's go, back to Golden Tiger City." A thought crossed his mind, and he led Sini out of the
void, descending upon Golden Tiger City.
With Golden Tiger's World-in-Hand destroyed, Golden Tiger City had turned into a heap of ruins, with only The Heaven Prison still intact.
At that moment, chaos reigned throughout the city. Soldiers and adventurers were fighting
fiercely to claim the remaining resources.
"Sini, go help Tracy and the others," John instructed before joining the fray.
Most of the resources in the city were law crystals, which he had no interest in. His sole purpose was to hunt down Four-Star and higher Awakened Ones to restore his power.
He moved through the chaos like a predator in an empty field. The remaining soldiers and adventurers were no match for him. The air was filled with the sounds of screams and battle cries as he rampaged through the city, leaving nothing but corpses in his wake.
As the Plunder prompt flashed, his strength slowly began to recover, growing stronger the
more he fought.
In less than half a day, the surrounding area fell into complete silence. The ruins were littered with bodies, and the few soldiers and adventurers who survived had fled.
At the entrance to The Heaven Prison, the many prisoners inside watched in shock and fear as
the slaughter took place.
Having lost their powers, they were now unable to defeat even a One-Star Awakened One and
dared not leave the prison.
When they saw John approach, they immediately became on edge, bracing for the worst.
"My lord!" Lincoln and a few others eagerly stepped forward to greet him. These were the Lord-God-level experts who had fought alongside him against The Heaven. After absorbing law crystals, their strength had been raised to at least Three-Star.
"My lord, what do we do next?" one of them asked excitedly. They had been rescued, but the humiliation they had suffered during their imprisonment had to be repaid.
"Don't rush," John said. "First, focus on recovering your strength." He turned to Lincoln and asked, "Lincoln, can you appoint a city lord?"
He had decided to rebuild Golden Tiger City and use it as one of his bases.
Lincoln quickly nodded. "Yes, my lord. My duties now are no different from those of the
goddess." Debbie glanced at him from the side, frowned, but didn't say anything further. "Good. You take charge of the The Heaven criminals and rebuild Golden Tiger City. Appoint Sini as the city lord." John's gaze shifted to the other The Heaven criminals. These individuals had been imprisoned for an unknown amount of time, enduring much suffering. However, they had once been Lord-God-level experts, and if their strength could be restored, they would be a significant asset. He decided to take control of them all. "Understood." Lincoln nodded in delight, then immediately began issuing orders to the The Heaven criminals to start rebuilding Golden Tiger City.
Although they were reluctant, they feared John and Sini's strength and dared not resist, so
they obediently followed his orders.
John's attention was once again drawn to the The Heaven prison before him. While Golden
Tiger City had been destroyed, this prison remained untouched, suggesting that some special force was protecting it.
He carefully examined the prison both inside and out, but found nothing unusual. Aside from
the powerful suppressive aura surrounding it, the prison didn't seem to have any other special
properties.
"Forget it, I'll deal with this later," he thought to himself, somewhat helpless. He found a
relatively clean spot inside the prison, took out a shimmering gemstone, and unleashed the powerful Power of Laws.
This gemstone, the Heart of the Continent, was a drop from his kill of Golden Tiger.
He looked at the gemstone in his hand, curious. Are all the high-level cities in the Realm of Chaos
linked to The Overseer's World-in-Hand? He decided that once he stabilized the situation in Golden Tiger City, he would head to Forest City, rescue Ice Talker and the others, and continue exploring these advanced cities.
"Let's see if I can refine and absorb it," he thought, attempting to refine the gemstone.
The Heart of the Continent could only be refined by The Overseer, but since his World-in-
Hand had been destroyed, he no longer considered himself an Overseer.
Buzz!
The gemstone glowed, and the powerful Power of Laws surged into his body, carrying with it
the Sword Law and Metal Element Power of Laws.
"Turns out it's possible," John mused. He possessed the Sword Law talent, so the Sword
Law was still somewhat useful to him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He closed his eyes and fully immersed himself, dedicating all his focus to refining the Heart of
the Continent.
...
[You have refined the Heart of the Continent. World-in-Hand restored.]
Suddenly, a prompt flashed.
"World-in-Hand is restored?" John opened his eyes in surprise and delight. He hadn't
expected that simply refining the Heart of the Continent would restore his World-in-Hand.
A thought crossed his mind, and his figure vanished from where he stood, entering his World-
in-Hand.
Whoosh!
The powerful Chaos Force surged, and the surroundings turned a hazy gray. Only a short
distance away, life energy swirled, and in the distance stood the towering Tree of Life and a giant sword.
It was the Tree of Life and the legacy of The Immortals!
