“Bastard!” Yale bellowed.
“You aren’t able to kill me. There’s no way you’ll be able to personally take revenge.” Odin laughed delighted.
A layer of frost appeared on Linley’s face.
“Absorb this into your body, then activate it.” With a flip of his hand, Linley produced a drop of black liquid, which floated towards Yale.
“Huh?” Odin’s face changed.
“Aren’t you very powerful? You are only an ordinary Seven Star Specter, and one who trains in the Edicts of Death. I want to see if your body is tough enough to withstand a strike which uses Sovereign power!” Linley laughed calmly.
Yale’s eyes lit up.
“Third Bro, thank you.” Yale immediately absorbed the drop of Sovereign’s Might into his body, and then, with a ‘bang’ sound, black light exploded forth from Yale’s body as a terrifying aura spread out from it. Yale held that deep azure spear, which swirled with black light. Yale let out a deep growl…
“DIE!”
Yale struck out as fast as lightning, stabbing wildly with that deep azure spear towards Odin.
“NO!!!!” Odin only had enough time for one final, miserable scream.
Yale didn’t stab directly into Odin’s head; he wildly, randomly stabbed, leaving more than ten bloody holes throughout Odin’s body before finally piercing through his head!
“Huff, huff…” Yale panted wildly as he launched several more stabbing blows, then began to tremble.
Odin just lay there limply, not responding all. His divine artifacts fell out of his body, but because of the repulsive force, they remained next to him.
“Dead. Odin’s dead. I personally killed him.” Yale raised his head, laughing wildly, but his tears flowed downwards. Yale seemed to be gripped by madness.
But seeing this, Linley only let out a sigh of relief.
Yale was releasing the hatred that had been pent up deep within his heart. Afterwards, he would be much better.
A long while later, Yale finally regained his former calm. He turned his head to look towards Linley. A grateful look; that was it. Linley laughed, then walked over and patted him on the shoulders. “Let’s go.” They were brothers who had played together since they were youths. Some words simply didn’t need to be said.
George and the others felt happy for Yale as well.
And then, Linley’s group of experts boarded their metallic lifeform and left.
As for Sayant, the Lord Prefect of Northbone Prefecture, he and his men all looked at each other, letting out mental sighs of relief.
“Lord Prefect, this Linley is too, too powerful.” A nearby azure-robed man said in a low voice. “Odin was a Seven Star Specter, but he was trapped by Linley to the point of not being able to fight back. What sort of technique is this? Also, Linley’s speed is utterly inconceivable.”
Given how fast they were, when ordinary commanders encountered Paragons, they weren’t able to fight back at all.
“Given how fast he was, and how he could use energy to trap a Seven Star Specter…while only using ordinary divine earth power…” Sayant’s face was solemn. “This Linley most likely truly is a Paragon.”
The people by his side were all stunned.
Paragon?
“Let’s go. All of you, go back!” Sayant’s face was sinister, and his voice was dark.
“Whooooosh.” A wild wind howled, and the wind slashed across the land like knives.
Ironknife Gorge. Within the castle.
Within the wide, empty area, there were two giant teleportation arrays. Suddenly, one of them flashed with countless sparkles of light, and the surrounding Bloodridge soldiers couldn’t help but to turn their heads to look.
The light dissipated, and a group of people merged.
One of the Bloodridge soldiers recognized them, and his eyes lit up. He hurriedly bowed. “Greetings again, milord.” Last time, when Linley had used this teleportation array to depart, this soldier had clearly seen Linley and knew that Linley had the Bloodridge Sovereign’s medallion.
“Mm.” Linley nodded slightly. “We will wait here momentarily. We will leave in a bit.”
“Please feel free, milord.” The Bloodridge soldier smiled.
Linley’s group waited there in the air above the vast, empty area. Bebe mumbled, “Boss, it should be fairly fast for you to arrive from the Yulan continent. Why haven’t you arrived yet? It’s been a thousand years since I’ve seen Ninny, and Nana…” Bebe missed his wife and daughter.
“We are almost here.” Linley said with a laugh. “It takes a bit of time for us to all fly from the Yulan continent to the Arctic Icecap…”
“Linley, little Wharton is coming as well, right?” Hogg was rather nervous and excited.
“Yes, Father.” Linley laughed and nodded.
His father hadn’t seen Wharton in a very long time. Wharton had been sent off to the O’Brien Empire very early on, and when his father had died, the last mental impression he had of Wharton was most likely the toddler Wharton. Linley said with a laugh, “Father, I imagine once you see Wharton, you won’t be able to recognize him right away.”
“I will definitely be able to recognize him.” Hogg was completely certain.
“Oh, we just entered the teleportation array. We are coming.” Linley said. His divine fire clone was coming alongside this large group of people.
Immediately, everyone turned to look at the teleportation array, only to see it once more flash with countless specks of light. Moments later, the light finally, completely vanished. A large group of people was gathered there, with the leader being Linley’s divine fire clone and Delia. The divine fire clone flew towards Linley, merging into him.
Upon merging in, the five souls intermixed.
Instantly…
Linley’s four mutated souls began to send surges of spiritual energy towards the divine fire clone’s soul, which slowly began to change. After all, the five souls were one to begin with.
“Father.” Wade, Taylor, and Sasha all ran towards Linley.
“FATHER!!!!” Wharton stood there, staring at Hogg, stunned.
Hogg stared at this burly, muscular youth in front of him. Wharton had a hint of Hogg in his face, and was fairly similar in appearance to Linley as well. But more importantly…when Hogg looked into Wharton’s eyes, it was as though he was looking back into the big eyes of toddler Wharton. “Wharton?” Hogg said softly.
“It’s me, Father.” Wharton ran forward, tightly embracing Hogg.
“Wonderful. Wonderful.” Hogg couldn’t keep his eyes from turning red.
After a long while, the two, father and son, separated.
“Father, look. This is your grandson, Wade. This is Taylor. This is your granddaughter, Sasha…” Linley walked forward, laughing as he made the introductions.
Wharton hurriedly made some introductions of his own. “Father, this is your grandson, Cena…and him. Arnold, quick, come over here. This is your great-grandfather. Father, this chubby-faced fellow is Arnold’s son.” Many people had come on this trip. Everyone who had reached the Saint-rank had come, leaving behind only a few people.
“Wonderful. Wonderful.” Hogg nodded repeatedly. All he could do was repeatedly smile.
“Alright, Father, let’s head to the Skyrite Mountains first.” Linley laughed.
This giant group of people immediately boarded the metallic lifeform and flew out from Ironknife Gorge.
Those Bloodridge soldiers all stared there, stupefied. They glanced at each other.
“Important people really are different! In one breath, he brought an entire family of more than a hundred people to the Infernal Realm. Grandfathers, grandchildren…there really were quite a few people.”
“Right, Captain. Why did you address that brown-haired man as ‘milord’. Who is he?”
“You don’t know this, but last time, when I was on duty, that brown-haired man came bearing the medallion of the Sovereign, using it to activate the teleportation portal for free! Even most Emissaries don’t possess that medallion. Only a person with a certain status will be able to acquire a treasure like that.” The Bloodridge soldiers, bored, chattered amongst themselves.
As for Linley’s family, they all made haste towards the Skyrite Mountains
