The Low-key Evil Wizard BOSS

Before long, the vision of twinkling stars and the ancient aura suffusing the Star Realm slowly faded.

The many Upper Rank Gods withdrew their gazes.

Zorn’s gaze swept across the Trees of the Magic Ring and the projections of the dozen or so Divine Spirits. He spoke in a clear voice.

"My friends, fellow Upper Rank Gods, while you each preside over vast territories in your Worlds,"

"if you merely hole up in these Worlds and refuse to join the tides of war in this Era of Mythology, you will never be able to inscribe an Ancient Sacred Mark. The path to becoming an Ancient God will be closed to you."

"You’ve all seen the war on the Star Dust Plateau clearly. The two great realms are in steady retreat."

"Why not join our Calamity Court Realm? Participate in the war against the two realms of the Eternal Curtain Star Remains. You might even be able to inscribe some Ancient Sacred Marks in this conflict, giving you a great hope of ascending to the rank of Ancient God in the future."

"Heh heh... A fine speech, Lord Zorn."

Taixing Ancient, the Void Upper Rank God of the 9 Holy Stars, replied softly.

"Unfortunately, we have grown accustomed to our freedom. We have no interest in joining a faction and being ordered around."

"Besides, we are not of the Calamity Court. We’d probably be sold out without even knowing it."

These old Divine Spirits, who had lived for who knows how many years, were naturally not so easily swayed by a few words from Zorn.

"On the contrary, Lord Zorn, you should be the one to be careful."

A hint of amusement was in Taixing Ancient’s voice.

"First, your Calamity Court annihilated an Ancient Divine Kingdom of the Jade Realm. Then, you launched a surprise attack on two of the Jade Realm’s Ancient Gods."

"From what I know, Lord Zorn was inextricably involved in all of it."

"And now, this newly ascended Ancient God is suspected to be from the Jade Realm."

"Heh heh... If that new Ancient God from the Jade Realm comes looking for Evil God Zorn to take revenge, things will get interesting."

Hearing this, Zorn’s eyes narrowed. He ceased his conversation with Taixing Ancient and silently increased the intensity on all fronts.

His power had grown considerably. It was time to enter a more intense stage of the Heroic Spirit Divine Kingdom war.

As if sensing that Zorn had intensified his assault,

the Upper Rank Gods also bolstered their forces in unison.

「Five or six years flew by in the blink of an eye.」

At this moment, in the Star Realm Void outside the Divine Kingdoms, in the space between the opposing Trees of the Magic Ring,

an incredibly brutal divine war was raging with high intensity.

Although the Upper Rank God Alliance had superior numbers,

over such a long period, Zorn had already refined a considerable number of their Heroic Spirits.

As a result, as time went on,

the Upper Rank God Alliance was forced to deploy Middle Rank Heroic Spirits, and even Upper Rank Heroic Spirits.

Regardless of whether they were Upper Rank or Middle Rank Heroic Spirits,

a great many were imprisoned and restrained by Zorn using the Ancient God Artifact, [Resurrection: Cosmic Death Ring], and then killed.

During this time, the Upper Rank God Alliance had attempted an all-out offensive with their Upper Rank Heroic Spirits, hoping to annihilate Zorn completely.

But after Zorn deployed over a hundred thousand Upper Rank Heroic Spirits and a million Middle Rank Heroic Spirits, engaging them in a massive battle that lasted more than two years,

if they had persisted, they might have actually stood a chance of defeating Zorn.

But they would have had to pay a terrible price.

In the end, the Upper Rank God Alliance was unwilling to expend their Upper Rank Heroic Spirits like that.

After all, even if they lost, some of the Divine Spirits among them wouldn’t lose much, so naturally, they wouldn’t fight to the death.

Ultimately, both sides ceased their major offensive and returned to a war of attrition.

But as time went on and Zorn began to ramp up the pressure,

the losses of the Upper Rank God Alliance began to grow visibly.

After all, being constantly restrained by Zorn’s Ancient God Artifact, [Resurrection: Cosmic Death Ring], they only grew weaker with every battle, while Zorn grew ever stronger.

Zorn had been eighty to ninety percent confident in his original plan.

But on this day, the situation changed.

Zorn, who was in secluded cultivation, felt his mind pause.

He had a faint sense of... something.

’Not good!’

Zorn, who had been sitting cross-legged on his Tree of the Magic Ring, shot to his feet.

The next moment, the terrifying power of an Ancient God descended abruptly.

Before Zorn could escape through the Cosmic Magic Net,

BOOM... CRACKLE...

a green Divine Thunder Grid blotted out the sky, blanketing everything.

It not only enveloped Zorn but also the projection of the Tree of Calamity Magic Ring beneath him.

Even Zorn’s connection to the Cosmic Magic Net was suppressed to a certain degree.

The possibility of Zorn using his projection to merge with the Cosmic Magic Net and escape was instantly snuffed out.

Knowing that he was about to lose one of his lives here, Zorn calmly turned to face the Ancient God who had launched the surprise attack.

"Belial. I knew it was you."

Zorn said coolly after scrutinizing the Ancient God’s illusory projection for a moment.

"Oh? You know me."

The Ancient God’s illusory projection seemed slightly taken aback.

Zorn simply stared expressionlessly at the vast, towering illusory projection of the Ancient God.

’How could I not? The first of the new generation of Ancient Gods, destined to be born in the Jade Realm. The absolute favorite of this era.’

’He’s even the fearsome entity who will one day lead the Jade Realm to greater heights.’

’And his illusory shadow techniques are exceptionally difficult to deal with.’

’The Shadow Ancient God, Belial.’

’Once he fully matures, he’ll definitely be one of the most difficult Ancient Gods to kill.’

’Of course, if I don’t let him mature, he’s still relatively easy to kill.’

"It seems you know quite a bit about our Jade Realm. I have been in seclusion for many years. Although I’ve acted a few times, not many people know of me."
