I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1693: Chapter 1694: Alien Chief Chapter 1693: Chapter 1694: Alien Chief The game world was still incredibly rich in resources, and with money, one could buy almost anything. Although artifacts above the Legendary Level were hard to purchase with money, at this point, Mie Tian did not need divine-level items to restore his strength. Legendary-level items were enough for him to regain his power and also to advance quickly.

Having the resources of two cities at his disposal, Mie Tian still had plenty of resources. He gave Zhao Ming one-third of it, instructing him to exchange it for the resources he needed in other cities.

Previously, because of the “Saint” identity, Mie Tian couldn’t possibly enter any city to exchange resources, just like other Saints, he could only wander in the wilderness, evading the relentless pursuit of hunters.

But now with Zhao Ming’s assistance, Mie Tian’s strength had recovered to its peak within a few days. Of course, the Mie Tian Spear, his accompanying divine weapon, couldn’t be restored in a short time.

“Not bad, my brother, you’ve done well…” Mie Tian, feeling the surging power within himself, patted Zhao Ming on the shoulder with a smile and said, “Next, I must strive to break through to the Legendary Realm, to reach the Divine Realm. As long as I can achieve the Demi-God Realm, I will be able to reach the True God status in an incredibly short time. After all, I have been a deity for thousands of years…”

These Saints that fell to the mortal world had their powers sealed, but once they break through the Legendary Realm to the Demi-God Realm, they can rapidly ascend to the True God status and then reach the pinnacle they once attained in an extremely short amount of time!

After all, the powers they possessed were not eradicated, just temporarily sealed, and breaking through the Legendary Realm would unseal them!

“Congratulations!” Zhao Ming quickly offered his compliments. However, deep down, he didn’t feel any joy, but rather a hint of trepidation.

“Once Mie Tian has regained his strength, does it mean that I will no longer be of use?” Zhao Ming couldn’t help but think to himself.

As if seeing through Zhao Ming’s thoughts, Mie Tian cracked a smile, and with a wave of his hand, Zhao Ming suddenly felt as if something inside him shattered. The previously capped Vitality Points and Mental Strength started to grow slowly.

“What’s happening to me…” A look of surprise appeared on Zhao Ming’s face as he turned towards Mie Tian.

“I told you, so long as you earnestly help me to recover, then I would make you my subordinate deity!” Mie Tian laughed heartily and said, “For now, it’s just about your recovery. When I step into the Divine Realm, I’ll teach you how to quickly master the Power of Law that you have already comprehended. By then, you too will be able to rapidly enter the Divine Realm…”

“Th-thank you, Master!” Zhao Ming knelt on one knee, his face full of gratitude.

“Haha, what master? We are brothers!” Mie Tian hoisted Zhao Ming to his feet, a trace of indescribable weirdness flickering in his eyes.

…

Song Jian, in the Divine World, had no idea that quite a few Saints had already broken through to godhood and entered the Divine World. He had devoured a strand of the Power of Law in the temple of the Goddess of Wisdom and Aggression and then stopped. There were still three law crystals remaining, but Song Jian didn’t dare to continue devouring them. Instead, he turned to renovating the entire temple, examining the defense mechanisms outside the temple.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Song Jian had gotten a good grasp of the Power Laws, and the adverse effects caused by backlash had completely vanished. He could now continue to devour the law crystals.

By now, the original Goddess Temple had undergone a complete transformation. In some parts, Song Jian had even used Divine to remodel it. Now, except for the name of the temple, the entire place could be said to belong solely to Song Jian.

The plaque above the Main Temple Gate, which originally read “Temple of War and Aggression,” had disappeared, replaced by a constantly rotating vortex. The new name of the temple seemed to be brewing.

Song Jian knew that if his power did not increase in the upcoming period, the temple would name itself based on the Power of Law he had already mastered!

“If I don’t continue to devour, will the temple become the ‘Temple of Time and Power’?” Song Jian couldn’t help but chuckled, finding the name somewhat awkward.

With that thought, Song Jian reached into his inventory and pulled out another Law Crystal, this one of the War Law. Then, Song Jian’s consciousness, like tentacles, began to wrap around the War Law Crystal.

In an instant, a pained voice echoed throughout the temple as Song Jian once again began to acquire the power of the War Law.

…

In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed, and Song Jian had devoured all three Law Crystals. By now, Song Jian had mastered five Powers of Law: the Time Law, Power Laws, War Law, Wisdom Law, and Law of Invasion. Additionally, Song Jian had also begun to grasp the Law of Flames, and with time, he would fully master it.

“This is the power of a mid-tier divine deity!” Song Jian clenched his fists, and a surge of power emerged from his fists, condensing into a solid Divine Flame that enshrouded his entire fist.

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

“Master, invaders detected, please be alert, invaders detected, please be alert!”

Song Jian was startled, and with a mere thought, a translucent screen appeared before his eyes, displaying the scene outside the Spatial Rift.

At that moment, the defensive formation was in a state of readiness, not yet activated. In the distance, a group of about a hundred alien creatures was slowly approaching, and further behind them, Song Jian saw three figures in black robes. They seemed to be controlling the alien creatures, but their faces and forms were obscured by the black robes and hoods, leaving it unclear whether they were aliens or divinities who had entered the Divine World.

“Array Spirit, stay alert, activate the Holy Spirit Warriors, and prepare to strike at any moment!” Song Jian commanded.

“As you command, Master!”

…

After gaining control of the temple, Song Jian’s first action was to take control of the defensive array. The ingenious defensive array set up by the Goddess of Wisdom and Invasion was truly remarkable–made up of ninety-nine interconnected Legendary Level formations, one linked to the other, with an incredibly sturdy defense. As long as the energy supply was continuous, it would withstand even the attack of a Main God Level being, making it impossible to breach the god-level defenses.

Just then, Song Jian saw the alien creatures outside the array, as if stimulated by something, began to roar madly, rushing toward the position of the Spatial Rift.

As they neared the Spatial Rift, a pale golden barrier appeared, blocking their charge.

Thud, thud, thud~
Dozens of the alien creatures violently collided with the pale golden barrier, ending up bruised and swollen. At the same time, streaks of plasma began to flow on the surface of the barrier, striking back with electric counterattacks at any sign of assault and continuously lashing the bodies of the alien creatures.
