I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1714: Chapter 1715: The Fog Demon Chapter 1714: Chapter 1715: The Fog Demon The Bloodthirsty Warhammer is an artifact comparable to the Spear of Lightning, a weapon of God King Level powerhouses. Even those at the Main God Level were incapable of wielding such a mighty weapon.

“They, even if they manage to summon the Bloodthirsty Warhammer, who could possibly wield it?” Adir, the Sun God of the eighth Main Deity position, couldn’t help but ask.

The deities were silent. If indeed there was not a single God King Level powerhouse, even if the foreign races used a bloody summoning to call forth this warhammer, they could not unleash its power. Then what use would summoning it serve for these foreign races?

The only possibility was that a God King Level powerhouse had emerged amongst the foreign races, one who could utilize the Bloodthirsty Warhammer, this divine artifact, if that were truly the case, then the Pantheon might indeed be in grave danger this time!

After a long while, the Lord of Space, with a hint of weariness in his eyes, spoke up, “Summon the deities, announce this matter. This is no longer something we eight Main Deities can decide on our own.”

Ordinarily, minor matters could be decided by just the eight Main Deities, but an issue that concerned the very life and death of the Pantheon required the assembly of all gods to discuss together. At the very least, ordinary deities needed to be aware of what had happened, and their power was also needed.

Moments later, the figures of deities began to appear within the Pantheon, each one with a grave expression. After the recent battle for positions had ended, it should have been a long while before they were summoned again, yet they were being gathered within the Pantheon only a few days later, something major must have occurred!

When all the deities were in place, the Lord of Light rose and started to announce their prior discovery.

Upon hearing that a being possibly on par with the God King Level might exist among the foreign races, the ordinary deities immediately became panic-stricken.

“Impossible, how could a God King Tier powerhouse emerge among the foreign races? There wasn’t a single sign before this…”
“The existence of the foreign races predates the Pantheon; in the Divine World, they are the true masters. Many areas remain unexplored by us. How can you be certain that there are no God King Level powerhouses outside the thousands of miles surrounding the Pantheon?”

“Damn it, the last war of the God Kings traces back to tens of thousands of years ago. It was in that battle that the God King of Saia fell, leaving only his weapon, the Spear of Lightning. Could it be that this war is another war of the God Kings? Why are we so cursed!”

“Damn it, if only I knew, I would have stayed in the game world. The Divine World is too dangerous…”

…
In the last war of the God Kings, even the God King of Saia was lost, and of the twelve Main Deities, not a single one survived. The deities too suffered countless casualties, a devastating blow that even led to the Pantheon being forced to seal itself off for a long time.

The Lord of Space and the Lord of Light were said to be the gods who survived from the last war of the God Kings. The other deities had mostly ascended after that event.

Though they hadn’t experienced that war, the deities of the Pantheon knew about that conflict. Unexpectedly, they were about to personally endure the cruelty of a war of the God Kings.

“Could it be that we’re truly going to fall?” A bitter taste surfaced on many a deity’s face.

Observing the dejected expressions of the gods, the Lord of Space couldn’t help but frown slightly. After glancing around at the gods, he said, “Right now, these are just speculations. Whether the alien race has a God King Level powerhouse remains an unknown. Even if one has emerged, as long as we can destroy their blood sacrifice ritual and prevent them from summoning the Bloodthirsty Warhammer, even a God King Level being would not be invincible within the God Mountain Range!”

There are prohibitions within the God Mountain Range. Once members of the alien race set foot on Mount of Gods, their strength would be suppressed. This holds true even for God King Level powerhouses. If they possess the strength of a God King Level entity but lack the weapons, they truly might not be a match for the Pantheon if they dare come to the God Mountain Range while having their power suppressed. Bear in mind, the Pantheon has always enshrined the weapon of the God King of Saia, the Lightning Spear!

“When the time comes, the eight of us Main Deities joining hands, strengthened by the Thunder Law, the Lightning Spear can also unleash its strongest strike. After all, it is the scepter of the God King, capable of representing the God King and protecting the Pantheon!” proclaimed the Lord of Thunder, unable to hold back.

Indeed, the Lightning Spear of the God King’s throne is tantamount to the God King’s scepter, cherished by the collective worship of the gods, and it is the Pantheon’s most formidable trump card. If a crisis were ever to occur that spelled doom for the Pantheon, the Divine Council has the authority to utilize the Lightning Spear and strike with the power of a God King Level.

Under the suppression of the prohibitions in the God Mountain Range, even a God King Level powerhouse, lacking God King Level weapons, would not be able to withstand this strongest strike.

Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Thunder, the gods finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the pressure of facing a God King Level being was immense, akin to how Legendary Realm warriors felt when facing True God Level powerhouses.

“Alright, now let’s discuss how we can destroy the aliens’ bloody summoning ritual. Should we mobilize the legions of gods to carry out a crusade against them?” the Lord of Light said with a sigh.

Throughout history, the Pantheon’s wars with the alien races were always reactionary. Each time, the aliens took the initiative to attack, and the Pantheon was forced to respond. But in every instance, the Pantheon slaughtered the aliens to the last, which led to the impression among the gods that the aliens were easily dispatched.

But this time, the Pantheon was actually considering launching a proactive war against the aliens. This realization caused a heavy mood among the many deities, as the dynamics of the war between gods and aliens appeared to be undergoing subtle shifts!

…
In the game world, behind the mountains of Divine Sword Sect, which was originally a forbidden area, a blood-red Teleportation Gate suddenly appeared on a grassy slope. A figure clad in golden armor, wielding a long halberd, emerged from the Teleportation Gate.

His face was shrouded in a cloud of black mist, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes. Stepping out of the Teleportation Gate, he took a deep breath and let out a hearty laugh, his voice as sharp as that of a predacious bird.

“Hahaha, is this the outside world? Truly, it is a hundred, a thousand times better than the Forbidden Area of the Heavenly Palace. This land is perfect for the development of our Fog Demon Clan!”

After speaking, the figure turned back and pointed towards the blood-red Teleportation Gate. A streak of black light shot into the gate, and moments later, countless figures emerged.

At that instant, all players in the game world received a system notification, written in blood-red text.

System: The Fog Demon Clan, once sealed in the Heavenly Palace Forbidden Area, has reappeared among humankind. They feed on flesh and blood, excel at changing shapes, and devour the souls of living creatures. If they are allowed to grow and prosper, the world of men will completely descend into Hell! An emergency system quest is now issued: Exterminate the Fog Demon! Quest Requirement: Kill all Fog Demons, fight until death! Quest Reward: For every Fog Demon killed, a guaranteed drop of a Fog Demon Pill, which increases training speed by tenfold for 1 hour. Also drop unique items from the Heavenly Palace Forbidden Area! Additionally, earn merit points according to the Fog Demon’s level!

Seeing this system notification, players immediately grew excited, seeking the Fog Demons’ location. Meanwhile, inside the Divine Sword Sect, a bloody scene of slaughter unfolded as endless waves of Fog Demons, like a flood, emerged from the Teleportation Gate behind the sect’s mountains and entered the game world.
