Omar couldn’t fathom it!

In fact, if Omar could see what was happening far away in Winterless City right now, he wouldn’t be so perplexed.

In the secret underground Divine Hall, dozens of Black Hand Priests were orderly praying, replacing necromancy crystals, restoring arrays, contributing their power to the perfect resurrection of their Lord of Darkness.

But suddenly!

The large stone coffin engraved with complex patterns at the center of the array abruptly shook.

In an instant, with a black halo flashing by, an irresistible siphon of power was transmitted from the stone coffin to the surroundings.

With no resistance at all, the energy, flesh, and even souls of the dozens of powerful yet terrified Black Hand Priests became nourishment for the coffin’s master, being absorbed into it completely.

They never anticipated that their dark lord, the master of death, would send his followers to death first.

In the northeast sky above Winterless City.

A figure wearing a silver mask and a crown held a downward sword stance, and a sword light rapidly expanded in the air.

It seemed to absorb vast energy, swelling like an explosion; what was initially less than two meters when leaving the sword now crazily enlarged.

As the crescent-shaped sword blade, dozens of meters long, cleaved into the giant stone of the abandoned Divine Hall.

The giant stone was easily sliced like tofu, with the massive sword light cutting into the ground, penetrating deeper until it met an obstacle!

“Boom!!”

The mountain peak exploded suddenly.

Even the majestic Rocky Mountains seemed to shake slightly from the force of this power.

At this moment, a black phantom swiftly condensed directly above the ancient temple ruins of the mountain peak.

Seated on a throne of skeletal vines, with a metallic iron fist in his right hand, was Death God Bane.

If Raine were present, he could immediately discern that Bane this time seemed not to be a projection but in a real form.

“Mortal Emperor, you coveted something you shouldn’t.”

“Bane, you were once merely a mortal.”

…..

Rapids Castle Royal Palace.

“It seems your master has abandoned you.”

As the words fell, Raine seized the moment and vanished from the spot.

Instantly appearing in front of the bewildered Omar, Warhammer in hand, swinging left and right, smashing down.

The sharp sound of ripping through the air seemed to awaken Omar.

In a flash.

Omar unleashed the utmost strength of the Black Fist Army’s highest commander, continuously punching towards the incoming Warhammer.

“Bang! Bang!”

But the sudden exertion naturally couldn’t completely block Raine’s full-force explosion.

After several clashes, Omar’s chest was left wide open, as a silver meteor flash swiftly struck his chest.

“Bang!! Crackle!”

With dense cracking sounds resonating, a basin-sized dent appeared on Omar’s chest; the powerful impact of the Emperor’s Hammer forced Omar’s tall frame to blast backwards like a cannonball, crashing into the exploding fountain statue.

Raine flicked the Warhammer, maintaining the posture of attack.

This time, due to Omar’s blocking, his Warhammer didn’t immediately smash the opponent’s head, but the power of the Warhammer in hand, even when hit on the chest, was unmistakably a lethal injury.

Sure enough, his gaze shifted, and a new icon appeared in the sixteen-slot bag, one that had appeared before:

[Death God Bane Bloodline (Extremely Deficient)]

—Six standard units of divinity can resist a few instances of instant death effects.

Possessing Mortal Lv3 (Deficient, retaining partial effect): Can possess a mortal’s body and gain complete control over it. After this body dies, can transfer to another nearby body.

(Note: Currently can possess only under legendary level, lasting for one day.)

Instant Death Iron Fist Lv2 (Deficient, retaining partial effect): Your right hand touches the target, triggering an instant death attack. If the target cannot save through death magic, they will die.

(Note: Currently can only trigger severe injury effect.)

….

‘Six standard units of divinity? No wonder it’s so strong!’

Raine’s eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, Raine’s gaze passed over two almost identical Death God Bane icons, along with the Spider Queen Rose bloodline and Glazite bloodline icons before pondering.

‘Two identical, two different, can these four be fused?’

With a little thought, harboring the intention to try, Raine placed these four bloodlines, all having divinity yet extremely deficient, into the bloodline slot, and the system prompt appeared:

[…Fusion: Yes/No?]

“No!”

Raine’s heart cheered!

It can actually be fused?!

But according to the first rule of the Golden Finger, the fused bloodlines can’t be fused a second time, making Raine inclined to wait, to gather five divinity icons before attempting fusion.

At least, wouldn’t it be stronger?

‘Just don’t know what will be fused….’ However, Raine was curious about what the fused bloodline would be.

At this time, those around them began to approach, Henry hurriedly ran up, his expression excited saying: “Raine, no, Uncle! You were so amazing just now.”

“Raine, this time we owe it all to you, otherwise the consequences for the entire Soladin Kingdom would be unimaginable.” King Galin Soladin also approached with a smile, tightly holding Raine’s hand.

Galin was increasingly satisfied with Raine.

On the other hand, he also felt pleased with his foresight, deciding early to arrange his sister Leonore’s marriage to Raine.

While speaking, Raine suddenly sensed a subtle fluctuation in space energy, and shortly afterward, two familiar figures appeared not far away.

“His Majesty Brute Hammer? Why are you here!” Seeing Brute Hammer the Second beside Leonore, Raine was visibly taken aback.

Clearly, upon Raine’s arrival at Rapids Castle, Leonore and Elder Grenum must have immediately sought out Brute Hammer the Second.

And Brute Hammer the Second promptly followed Leonore to aid.

As a king, to act in this way with such commitment and fidelity is evident.

“Raine, the opposition retreated?” Brute Hammer the Second surveyed the scene, surprised, looked to Raine.

He had immediately decided to assist upon receiving Grenum’s report.

The astonished Leonore also glanced around, Duke Musadi the Sword Saint lay flat receiving treatment, obviously severely injured.

“Just finished the battle.” Raine smiled, pointing to the fountain ruins.

“Hey, something’s wrong!” Swiftly, Raine’s expression changed!

Raine’s words caused those around to stiffen, rapidly defending, retreating, and readying themselves.

Suddenly, an unstable space rift appeared abruptly, a streak of black light shot into the ruins, and then, the space rift vanished.

It seemed that moment was merely an illusion.

Time rewinds to a minute earlier.

Winterless City.

In the northeast sky near the Rocky Mountains.

A cluster of starlight and a cluster of darkness collided hundreds of times in an instant, the scattered energy fluctuations and shocks had already destroyed large swaths of forest below, leveling hills.

“Boom!!”

An iron fist braced against a nebula-long shining sword.

“Mortal Emperor, since you desire my divine format so much, then I’ll give it to you!” Suddenly, Death God Bane’s left hand lightning-fast grabbed Taros III’s arm.

And beneath the hood, the face always in shadows abruptly lifted, revealing a pale yet cunning face.

Instantly, Bane activated ‘Possessing Mortals.’

As the entity, he could possess anyone below divine beings, including demigods, legends, and more.

A semi-transparent figure stepped out of Bane’s black robe body, intending to step into Taros III’s body but suddenly seemed to hit a wall, bouncing back.

“What! Heart of the Divine Abomination.”

Bane, seeing the necklace on Taros’ neck, was stunned.

“Slash!”

Nebula Longsword stabbed into Bane’s divine body.

“Damn it!”

Bane showed a grim expression, transforming into a black flow swiftly retreating, while forcibly opening a space rift.

Suddenly!

The black flow entered the rift.
