I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1662 - Chapter 1662 Chapter 1663 Join Forces

Chapter 1662: Chapter 1663: Join Forces Chapter 1662: Chapter 1663: Join Forces The breath of a demi-god level peak powerhouse could make most monsters recoil, even those that actively attack. Upon sensing such an aura, they wouldn’t dare to initiate an assault, even within their attack range.

This was the disparity in strength between realms: when the difference in power was too great, engaging in battle was tantamount to suicide.

Soon, Song Jian saw groups of players and NPC professionals constantly venturing deeper into the swamp. Lacking the strength of someone like Song Jian, they encountered monster BOSSes ambushing them along the way; the swamp was filled with scenes of battle.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly felt a strange and sublime aura emanating from deep within the swamp, as if thousands were whispering hymns of praise right beside his ear.

“The Power of Faith…” Song Jian’s expression changed. Had it been before, he might not have recognized this aura as the Power of Faith, but since the establishment of the temples in the Shattered Divine Realm, he had been continuously accumulating the Power of Faith himself.

Although he couldn’t yet wield it and could only passively accumulate it to convert into divine power, he was very familiar with this force and immediately sensed the difference.

“It looks like the information was correct; there indeed is a divine presence, it’s just a pity that the Power of Faith seems somewhat weak…” A smile formed at the corner of Song Jian’s mouth.

If it were a powerful divine entity like the God of Light, even fallen to the mortal world and reduced to the Legendary Realm, the plentiful believers providing the Power of Faith would make it an entity not everyone would dare besiege.

However, for a weak deity like the Brutal God, with originally few followers, most of them would likely abandon their faith after its fall to the mortal world. Such a god’s strength would be at most equivalent to the peak of the Legendary Realm, with slightly more adept use of the Power of Law–it was entirely possible to overcome them with numbers!

Boom!

An intense fluctuation suddenly came from behind. Song Jian was startled and turned around alertly, looking off into the distance. He saw a familiar figure rushing towards the depths of the swamp at high speed.

“Basford?” Song Jian’s brows furrowed slightly.

The person who flew over, claiming to be the “Son of Flames,” had once accompanied Song Jian into the Goddess of Harvest’s fallen domain’s dungeon–a demi-god level powerhouse, Basford.

That dungeon adventure was crucial for Song Jian, as it was during that very adventure that Song Jian advanced to demi-god level. Basford too had obtained treasures left behind by the Goddess of Harvest, hoping to use them to advance to true divinity.

“Basford!” Song Jian called out loudly.

Carrying a long trail of flames, like a burning meteor, Basford curved in the sky and flew towards Song Jian.

“Song Jian, Mayor of Song City?” Basford looked Song Jian up and down, surprise showing on his face.

“You, you’ve actually reached the peak of the demi-god realm?” Basford felt the surging power emanating from Song Jian’s body and couldn’t hide his incredulity.

Song Jian looked over at Basford. Dressed in armor of flames, the fiery aura around Basford had grown much more intense, indicating his strength had also greatly increased; however, he was still quite a distance away from divinity!

“How did you…” Song Jian expressed in surprise.

You must understand, Basford, having received the boon of the Goddess of Harvest, was once brimming with confidence, declaring he would definitely step into the true Divine Realm. Unexpectedly, Basford now had only marginally increased in level, just recently reaching the peak of the demi-god realm, not much different from Song Jian’s own realm.

“The laws of the Goddess of Harvest are too different from mine; even with her remaining divine spark, I couldn’t break through to god-level!” Basford said with a troubled expression.

Before, when Song Jian was only at the Legendary Realm, Basford always looked down on him from above, but now that both of them were at the peak of the Demi-God Realm, Basford’s attitude had undergone a great change, treating Song Jian as an equal.

“And you, Song Jian, what kind of opportunity have you stumbled upon to advance so quickly…” Basford wondered, “To reach the peak of the Demi-God Level in such a short time, even with the cultivation speed of a God’s favored one, it shouldn’t be possible, right?”

“You could say it was a case of accumulating slowly and advancing rapidly,” Song Jian said with a smile. “Are you here this time to hunt the Brutal God as well?”

A hint of a smile emerged at the corner of Basford’s mouth, and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, those lofty existences probably never imagined there would come such a day. Now, as long as my strength is sufficient, I can ascend whenever I wish, and no longer need to hide like a rat, secretly seeking advancement, hahaha!”

“Indeed, I also heard that there were traces of a deity in Crocodile Bay and wanted to try my luck. The Brutal God– are you saying that the divine trace found in Crocodile Bay belongs to the Brutal God Urtodir?”

Song Jian nodded.

“Alas, the Law of Brutality is too far removed from my Law of Flames. Even if I obtained its divinity, I probably wouldn’t be able to advance in the short term…” Basford thought to himself. He glanced at Song Jian and couldn’t help saying, “Song Jian, how about we join forces? We’ll split the benefits equally. What do you think?”

“Sure,” Song Jian nodded in agreement.

Just then, in the skies over the depths of the swamp, a massive crocodile head apparition suddenly appeared, its head like a small mountain peak, issuing a low roar!

“We’ve been discovered!” Song Jian and Basford’s eyes lit up simultaneously. After exchanging a glance, they quickly flew towards the location of the crocodile head apparition.

…

“You vermin, you also wish to slay a god?” The Brutal God Urtodir bellowed furiously, charging towards a group of NPC professionals.

Behind it stood a monster with the head of a lion and the body of a man, dressed in a suit, wearing a reserved smile on its face, standing motionless in the distance, completely detached from the fray.

Urtodir, having regained much of its power, was now like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. With the aid of the Law of Brutality, its massive form moved with great speed, leaving behind only afterimages and numerous dark red claw marks that slowly faded in the air.

“It has… recovered…” A warrior dressed in armor showed a terrified expression as one of Urtodir’s claws easily breached his armor’s defense, leaving several deep, bone-revealing gashes on his chest.

Boom~

An explosion sounded in the swamp as Urtodir grabbed a cloth-armored professional with both hands, twisted violently, and immediately, the sound of crushing bones rang out as the person, like sugar cane, gushed blood ceaselessly.

Urtodir opened its maw, greedily consuming the blood, and once no blood flowed, it threw the NPC professional straight into its mouth and began to chew vigorously.

This brutal scene caused the expressions of the surrounding Legendary Realm powerhouses to change drastically, with a few even being scared into sitting directly on the ground.
