Chapter 915: Chapter 75: Words Like Knives and Swords, Killing Without Spilling Blood!_2 Chapter 915: Chapter 75: Words Like Knives and Swords, Killing Without Spilling Blood!_2 This point is precise and indisputable!

But…

Looking at the expressions of the “fathers” of the “Hundred Major Families” at the bottom of the pit, Hera sighed in her heart.

She had already seen the eagerness in the faces of these companions.

Even the breathing of those by her side, like Pondor and Dorco, became rapid.

They were tempted, too.

Indeed!

How could they not be tempted!

At their level, there were few things that could arouse their interest anymore.

But power is definitely one of them.

Even their original purpose in coming here was to increase their power.

However, what’s different now is that in their original plan, the benefits were to be shared equally.

And now?

The words of “their” Leader completely shattered all of that.

What’s more, such words continued.

“Do you all naively think that there’s a wholly intact ‘Divine’s Body’ here?”

“Stop joking!”

“If there were… do you think it would be your turn?”

“It would have been mine long ago!”

“Their” Leader let out a cold laugh.

Such words left no room for rebuttal.

The Leader’s other identity: a “bystander” of history.

An old monster who had lived for a thousand years.

Unquestionably, it was the oldest presence among those gathered.

Even the eldest of the “fathers” from the “Hundred Major Families” was more than eight hundred years younger than this Leader.

What does that signify?

Simply put, long before the “Hundred Major Families” even began to take shape, this being was already in existence, active in the world under various identities.

Therefore, if there were indeed a truly complete ‘Divine’s Body’ in this world, this Leader would be the first to know.

And once aware, naturally, the Leader would not let it slip away.

So!

Is this all a trap?

A trap to lure us here, to become ‘sacrifices’?

This thought rose in everyone’s minds.

But there was another question!

Then, Hera posed this doubt on behalf of everyone.

“Do you really think you can defeat all of us by yourself?”

Hera loudly challenged.

This was the only point of contention she could think of.

“Hahaha!”

The Leader laughed heartily at Hera’s challenge.

His laughter drew everyone’s attention, and then the Leader disappeared once again.

“Be cau…”

Hera tried to warn everyone, but before she could finish, two more of the “fathers” from the “Hundred Major Families” were struck by the Leader’s attack, as fast as a shadow, as swift as the wind.

Moreover, the attacks were not only silent but also ignored the defenses of the “Hundred Major Families’ fathers.”

Whether it was defensive secret techniques or the defenses provided by artifacts, in the face of the Leader’s assault, they were as flimsy as paper.

Under the horrified gaze of all, two bodies fell, and the Leader’s voice rang out again.

“Sacrifice the lives I have offered by my own hand, suppress the strength of all here within the sacrificial range, except for me!”

Following these words, the altar lit up once more.

Then, all of the “fathers” from the “Hundred Major Families” within the pit felt a weight upon them.

Their power was being suppressed!

Though just a tiny bit!

But it truly was suppressed!

Instantly, the complexions of these “fathers” from the “Hundred Major Families” changed.

“Their” Leader laughed once more.

“You ask—”
“Why can’t I defeat all of you alone?”

“Because, I can grow stronger every moment!”

“Because, I can suppress you all at every moment!”

“Their” Leader, looking toward Hera at the edge of the pit, drew out his words.

Then, the Leader struck once more.

Pfft!

The shadow, like the wind, swept over the target.

Blood was spilled.

Bodies fell to the ground.

“Sacrifice the lives I have offered by my own hand, suppress the strength of all here within the sacrificial range, except for me!”

These words echoed once again.

The bodies of the “fathers” from the “Hundred Major Families” felt even heavier.

The suppression was enforced again.

This time, it was more severe than before.

And the shadow of death followed close behind.

In almost an instant, these mighty figures who were once lofty and powerful in this world fell into a vicious, deadly cycle.

Resist?

They couldn’t resist.

The gap was too vast.

Not resist?

To wait for death was unacceptable.

Too unwilling.

Involuntarily, their gazes once again fell upon each other.

Not with the wary questioning of before.

This time, it was naked, ferocious.

And murderous intent surfaced repeatedly.

Waiting meant death.

Resistance, too, was death.

Might as well try to send those around you to their demise, acquiring even greater strength, to survive.

Such a thought surfaced.

And could no longer be suppressed.

The ‘elders’ of the ‘Hundred Major Families’ subtly distanced themselves from ‘their’ Leader the next moment, they struck at their fellow companions around them.

Various secret techniques reemerged.

The scorching heat of Flame.

The biting cold of frost.

The fatal poison gas.

The formidable presence of tangible Strength.

The silent, deadly nature of intangible power.

They completely forwent probing and defense, almost fighting with their lives on the line.

“It’s over!”

Hera watched the battle at the bottom of the pit, her face deathly pale.

She almost witnessed the complete disintegration and collapse of the ‘Hundred Major Families’.

In the past, no matter what happened, when faced with powerful external enemies, the ‘Hundred Major Families’ could unite.

Because they had never truly turned against each other.

But now?

Mortal enemies, how could there be uninhibited cooperation?

Pondor, Dorco, and the surrounding ‘elders’ of the ‘Hundred Major Families’ who hadn’t descended into the pit clearly thought the same.

Then, they thought of more things.

For example: Could these families who had not joined the battle form a new Alliance and annihilate all those who were killing each other below, who were once allies?

Such a thought caused Pondor, Dorco, and others’ eyes to flicker with possibility.

But they had not yet acted.

They were waiting for a result.

And such waiting did not need to be long.

A few breaths later, several battles had already determined their victors.

“Sacrifice the lives I’ve taken by my own hands, to heal my wounds!”

“Sacrifice the lives I’ve taken by my own hands, to heal my wounds!”

Almost at the moment the battles had their outcomes, these people shouted loudly.

They didn’t choose to increase their might.

Because every one of them was almost fatally wounded.

The consequence of a reckless fighting method.

Then, radiance flickered.

Their wounds healed.

Truly healed.

The kind from the inside out.

Slightly stunned, then, ecstatic!

Each victor’s face showed ecstatic joy.

Then… with even more crazed looks, they turned towards the people around them.

The next moment!

They lunged out!

Attacking those around them with an even more frenzied posture than before.

As long as they won!

Even if only a breath remained!

They could still live!

As long as one lives, they can find the opportunity to grow stronger rapidly!

Everyone thought this way!

Such thoughts drove everyone at the bottom of the pit to madness.

The ‘elders’ of the ‘Hundred Major Families’ on the rim hesitated.

Could it really be true?

Then…

Those looking down from above, the ‘elders’ of the ‘Hundred Major Families’ started to seek targets almost instinctively, their gazes wandering.

As members of the ‘Hundred Major Families,’ they were all too familiar with each other.

Their strength was also not much different.

Therefore, the priority was to find someone whose weakness they could exploit.

However, soon, their gazes locked on to one particular spot—
A ‘room’ that was severely distorted by an external force.

It was Jason’s ‘room’.

Instantly, their eyes lit up.

The strength of other ‘Hundred Major Families’ members wasn’t much different; it was difficult to make a move.

But Jason was different!

A ‘Brutalizer’ from within their manufactured ‘game,’ although he had some strength, it was just a bit, after all.

A perfect target!

Instantly, a few ‘elder members’ of the ‘Hundred Major Families’ standing at the top of the pit were about to act.

But someone was faster!

One of the ‘elders’ from the ‘Hundred Major Families’ at the ‘bottom of the pit’ had already dashed towards the twisted ‘room’ like an arrow released from a bow.

The person arrived at the door and kicked up a foot.

Bang!

With a loud sound, the door was kicked open, and the intruder rushed straight in.

And then…
