Chapter 462: Chapter462-Facing a God King Head-On

To be honest, with John’s speed, if he truly wanted to leave, even a God King-level powerhouse would have no chance of stopping him.

Yet he remained standing exactly where he was, without moving an inch.

At this moment, John stood with both hands clasped behind his back, an unmistakable air of pride surrounding him.

He looked toward Kaine High God and the others rushing over to hunt him down.

A thought quietly surfaced in his mind.

Since all my resources come from the countless living beings of the universe, why should I be so cautious?

I should face every challenge head-on.

There is no reason for me to fear the masses.

If anything, they should be the ones fearing me.

Ever since John awakened his Plunder Talent, he had always regarded all things in existence as resources and opportunities that he could seize whenever he wished.

And in truth, that was exactly how he had lived.

Back when he was still in the Myriad Races Universe, the players from the other regions had become stepping stones for John to plunder one after another, allowing him to grow stronger step by step.

After that came the great plundering war among the myriad races, which caused John’s strength to skyrocket even faster.

Throughout his entire journey, he had practically never stopped fighting.

Wherever he went, there was slaughter.

Wherever he went, there were bloody battles.

The gods themselves had become nourishment for his growth.

Since that was the case, John had no need to retreat.

Nor did he need to yield.

Even if a God King-level powerhouse stood before him, he would still have to fight them properly and see exactly how strong they were.

At this moment, a group of High God-level powerhouses had already entered John’s field of vision.

When they were still more than ten thousand miles away from him, they suddenly stopped advancing and stood firmly in place.

Once one reached the High God level, their eyesight and perception were already powerful enough to penetrate countless galaxies.

Combined with Divine Sense, even from ten thousand miles away, they could clearly see every pore on each other’s bodies.

John stood there with his hands behind his back.

Alone, he stood as straight as a flagpole.

There was not the slightest trace of panic on his face.

Instead, he looked utterly calm and composed.

Across from him—

the expressions of the many High Gods changed as they examined John.

"He’s actually only a High God!"

"Damn it, I thought he had to be something extraordinary. Turns out he’s just a peak High God. I completely wasted all that nervous anticipation."

"Tch. I was hoping we’d get to have some fun. Looks like I won’t even need to make a move."

These High God powerhouses were not shocked by John’s strength.

After all, none of them had personally witnessed him fight.

On top of that, John’s entire body was shrouded in Law power.

Unless one possessed God King-level strength, it was impossible to see through his true state.

So these High Gods simply assumed that John was nothing more than—

a somewhat stronger peak High God.

Defeating Oren High God was nothing remarkable.

They had also watched the Cosmic Tournament.

Any seeded powerhouse in that tournament possessed the ability to kill Oren High God.

Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable for them to underestimate John.

"Old Sir, is he really only a peak High God?"

Although Kaine High God had an explosive temper, he was not an idiot.

He did not recklessly charge forward the moment he saw John.

He had come to suppress this entire human world.

Yet when he saw John’s apparent cultivation level, instead of relaxing, Kaine became even more cautious.

He turned to the servant beside him, a man whose strength had supposedly reached the legendary Half-Step God King level.

Cold sweat had already appeared on the old servant’s forehead.

He had clearly used some secret technique to inspect John.

Upon hearing Kaine High God’s question, he gave a bitter smile.

"Young Master, even I cannot see through him."

The old servant’s eyes were complicated.

"That mysterious powerhouse is surrounded by extremely high-level Law power."

"At the very least, several of those Laws are innate-level Laws."

"Unless one reaches the God King level, there is no way to see through them."

"However, the aura coming from his body truly does belong to the peak High God level..."

The old servant continued,

"Once a living being reaches the God King level, their aura becomes restrained and returns to simplicity. It actually becomes much harder to judge their realm from appearances alone."

"But before reaching the God King level, no matter how well one conceals their aura, some of it will inevitably leak out."

"And the closer one is to the God King level, the more obvious that leakage becomes."

"So there is no way that mysterious powerhouse could completely conceal his aura."

"He must truly be at the peak High God level."

Kaine immediately relaxed after hearing the old servant’s explanation.

As long as John was not a God King disguising his strength, everything was fine.

Anything below the God King level—

wasn’t that something he could crush however he pleased?

Even if John cultivated innate Laws, so what?

Once acquired Laws were cultivated to a sufficiently high level, they could still return to their innate origin.

Thinking this, Kaine looked toward John and sneered coldly.

"You villain!"

"You actually dare cause trouble inside the territory of my Tarlon faction?"

"You must be tired of living!"

Kaine roared,

"What did you do to the people of my Tarlon faction?"

He had already noticed that every Tarlon powerhouse originally stationed at the Forbidden Zone had disappeared.

That only made him even more furious.

"Killed them."

John replied indifferently.

"Killed them?"

"You killed them?!"

Kaine’s eyes widened as he roared,

"You actually dared kill members of my Tarlon faction—"

"Wait!"

"Where is our Forbidden Zone?"

"Why is it gone?"

John’s casual statement instantly ignited Kaine’s rage like a powder keg.

But just as he was about to explode, the corner of his eye swept across the place where the Forbidden Zone had originally been.

He froze.

What the hell?

Where was the Forbidden Zone?

Such an enormous Forbidden Zone—

how could it simply vanish into thin air?

His question immediately drew the attention of all the High Gods beside him.

They turned toward the Forbidden Zone’s original location.

And when they discovered that it had truly disappeared, every one of them was dumbfounded.

Could a Forbidden Zone somehow grow legs...

and run away on its own?!

"The Forbidden Zone?"

"I accepted it."

John grinned viciously.

He did not mind provoking his enemies before a battle.

He enjoyed watching them fly into a rage.

Watching them become furious yet completely helpless against him—

before eventually dying by his hand.

"You!"

Kaine was truly enraged now.

The powerhouse standing before him had not only slaughtered members of the Tarlon faction—

he had even stolen the Forbidden Zone, an asset of tremendous importance to them.

This was simply outrageous!

Damn him!

Damn him!

Damn him!

"Brothers!"

"Kill him!"

Kaine High God no longer had any desire to waste another word on John.

There was only one thing he wanted now.

Kill the man in front of him.

Make him disappear!

The instant Kaine’s voice fell—

the many powerhouses around him immediately attacked.

Some High Gods unleashed their Law power first.

Others summoned their strongest treasures.

Still others activated their divine abilities and secret techniques.

Only the old servant remained motionless.

His eyes stayed fixed warily on John as he silently positioned himself in front of Kaine.

John saw every detail of their movements.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

A cold smile appeared on his face.

"Weren’t you looking for the Forbidden Zone?"

"Forbidden Zone..."

"Come out!"

John raised one hand.

A palm-sized vortex immediately appeared above his palm.

It slowly rotated, releasing an indescribable aura.

Then—

the Forbidden Zone flew out from John’s palm.

It hovered in midair above his head.

And in a single instant—

it suddenly expanded!

The tiny vortex swelled until it became as enormous as a star.

"That’s the Forbidden Zone?!"

"He refined the Forbidden Zone!"

"Holy crap! A Forbidden Zone can actually be used like this?"

The many powerhouses were stunned and bewildered.

Yet despite their shock—

none of them stopped attacking.
