The Low-key Evil Wizard BOSS

"I didn’t expect you to call out my name the very first time I made a move after being promoted to Ancient God."

"I was originally planning to kill you on the spot, but now... perhaps I’ll let you live a little longer."

The newly promoted Ancient God Belial’s words were brimming with confidence.

As if he could obliterate Zorn with the slightest effort.

"Let me live a little longer?"

Zorn couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.

He already had a fairly good grasp of the newly promoted Ancient God Belial’s methods and abilities.

As for his own abilities, Zorn wouldn’t say his opponent was completely clueless, but it was highly unlikely that Belial knew anything about his core techniques.

’Relying on nothing but his Ancient God Level, his Ancient God Power, and the Cosmic Suppression he commands?’

"Even though you’ve been promoted to an Ancient God, Your Excellency, you’re being a little too arrogant."

As he spoke, Zorn had already begun to secretly put numerous measures in place.

This newly promoted Ancient God had used some special method to enter this border world directly.

’It looked like he was acting alone, but this operation surely involved some of the other Ancient Gods from the other two great Divine Kingdoms and the Jade Realm. They might even deploy some Ancient God Artifacts.’

Although Zorn was confident he could escape, he knew there were still some Ancient God Artifacts that could pose a threat to him—or even gravely injure him.

When it was time to be cautious, Zorn wouldn’t let his guard down in the slightest.

As Zorn confronted the new Ancient God,

the three Ancient Gods of the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom had naturally sensed the intrusion of the newly promoted Ancient God from the Jade Realm into the borderlands.

They immediately manifested as giant silhouettes upon the Tree of the Magic Ring.

But at the same time.

as if by prior arrangement, the four Ancient Gods from the two great kingdoms of Eternal Curtain and Star Remains on the Star Dust Plateau all revealed their forms and auras, creating a standoff with the three Ancient Gods from Calamity Court.

At the same time, the powerful projected auras of two other Ancient Gods flickered in and out of existence in the borderlands, also threatening the Calamity Court Realm.

Five Ancient Gods, plus two powerful Ancient God projections.

A fighting force equivalent to seven Ancient God Level beings put immense pressure on the three Ancient Gods who were backed by the Calamity Court Magic Ring Tree.

They quickly contacted the Ancient Gods of the Secret Wilderness while turning their attention to the two great Divine Kingdoms, Eternal Curtain and Star Remains.

"Sirs, are your kingdoms so unable to hold on that you’re preparing to start a war of Ancient Gods?"

Antisum, their leader, spoke, his voice calm and chilling.

"Hahaha... Unable to hold on? Of course not. That paltry Evil God is simply an eyesore, and we plan to teach him a little lesson today."

"Hmph! To think you need to mobilize this much Ancient God power just to teach a ’little lesson’ to an Upper Rank God."

"I doubt even a being at the Ancient God Level has ever received such ’special treatment’."

"Heh heh..."

The Ancient God, Star Remains, laughed heartily.

"If you gentlemen wish to save the Evil God Zorn, feel free to go."

"I’m just afraid that even if you save the Evil God Zorn, you’ll have to pay the price for it yourselves."

"If you don’t believe me, by all means, go."

The three Ancient Gods exchanged a look. Their expressions were grim, and though they were worried for Zorn’s safety, they dared not act rashly.

Before reinforcements from the Secret Wilderness arrived, any rash move could indeed result in catastrophic losses.

The power at the Ancient God Level is staggering.

After Death, Resurrection would plunge them into a prolonged state of weakness.

If an enemy were to take advantage of that post-Resurrection weakness, the consequences would be dire.

"Hurry and urge the lords from the Secret Wilderness to send reinforcements."

Antisum said via voice transmission.

"I’ve already urged them twice, but the Jade Realm was clearly prepared for this. We need to buy more time for the people from the Secret Wilderness to arrive."

"Buy more time?"

Hearing this, the other two’s hearts sank.

’Buying more time was likely what the Jade Realm wanted as well.’

"All we can do now is hope Zorn has enough tricks up his sleeve, and that the new Ancient God from the Jade Realm doesn’t find one of his weaknesses."

Antisum said, his brow furrowed as he gazed toward the distant border of the Star Dust Plateau.

"For now, that is all we can hope for."

...

During the standoff, his opponent didn’t immediately go for the kill.

Zorn had naturally guessed their intentions.

’Simply killing him once would be meaningless, as he would just resurrect and leave.’

’They obviously wanted to eliminate him completely.’

’Zorn was also aware that his opponents did indeed possess an Ancient God Artifact with that function.’

’However, with the arrangements Zorn had made deep within the Star Dust Plateau and the current strength of his Divine Kingdom, it was unlikely that even those Ancient God Artifacts could pose a threat to him.’

For now, Zorn didn’t mind the standoff.

After all!

The entire Star Dust Plateau was currently under the influence of a war ritual Zorn had initiated by sacrificing an Ancient God.

’To Zorn, at this very moment, a standoff with an Ancient God counted as an "ancient war."’

’The longer he was in this standoff with the Ancient God, the more it would catalyze his Ancient Sacred Mark.’

’If it came to a life-and-death battle with an Ancient God, the catalysis of his Ancient Sacred Mark would be even more astounding.’

’If his opponents knew that Zorn had sacrificed an Ancient God to activate a war ritual, they would certainly not be acting this way.’

But no one knew that Zorn had set up an ancient war from within the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path—one that radiated across the entire Star Dust Plateau and encompassed all three great Trees of the Magic Ring.

’A single battle against an Ancient God would likely yield more progress on his Ancient Sacred Mark than a hundred years of cultivation had previously.’
