"What?"
When the God of Wrath, Jie'e, appeared from within the barrier, whether inside or outside the battlefield, even the Flowing Gold Warrior facing him couldn't help but be stunned.
"This…"
Even Wolong, who had until now kept calm, couldn't sit still at this moment, "Master actually subdued the God of Wrath?"
Yinlong said thoughtfully, "I remember Master's current class, Necromancer, has one feature. When killing monsters, there's a very small chance to harvest them as pets. Could it be that this effect triggered, harvesting the God of Wrath into a pet?"
"To make a main god into a pet?", Even Xuanlan himself felt it was unbelievable just saying it.
But…
Looking toward the battlefield, they quickly denied their own guess.
"At the Necromancer's current level, Master can at most summon five pets at the same time."
"Armageddon Dragon, Skeleton King, Apex Predator, Ice-Sealed War God, and Cherry, all already present. He couldn't possibly summon a sixth pet."
"If it's not a pet, then this is…"
Even Wolong's trio, who knew Zhang Yue best, couldn't quite figure it out.

[On the Field]
Under Zhang Yue's control, the God of Wrath shifted from its original mist form into his own appearance.
Thus, at the same time, there appeared two Necromancers on the battlefield.
Even the Flowing Gold Warrior was shocked, "There's actually such a technique?"
In his heart, his killing intent toward Zhang Yue grew even stronger.
Because the more he realized: if Zhang Yue lived, he would never be able to rule this world.
So, he led the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence to attack Zhang Yue together.
Zhang Yue commanded the God of Wrath-turned-"clone" to handle the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence, while he himself focused on the Flowing Gold Warrior.
It had to be said, with the clone's help, the battle suddenly became half as hard.
After all, the God of Wrath was still a King-class BOSS.
The summoned God of Wrath still retained its original rank, and wasn't weakened.
A full-fledged King-class BOSS.
After transforming into a Necromancer, it still kept its original stats, yet could wield all Necromancer skills.
It cast [Death · Eye of the Thunder God], greatly increasing spell penetration.
Then opened with [Oblivion · Lightning's Might], triggering static effect, boosting the damage of following lightning skills.
With [Thunder · Dance of Lightning] it force-converted [No Heaven · God-Slaying Curse] into a lightning skill.
Finally, it bombarded with [Sanctuary · Thunderfire Inferno], [Thunder · Heaven-Devouring Destruction], [Shatter · Heart of Lightning] in a chain of lightning-based attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It had to be said, the God of Wrath's combo play was even smoother than Zhang Yue's own.
It wielded the lightning stream with absolute mastery.
"No wonder it's a King-class BOSS," Even Zhang Yue couldn't help but praise, "If its IQ were any higher, it'd surpass me."
Under the God of Wrath's overwhelming bombardment, the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence were momentarily unable to withstand.
After taking a round of lightning, the God of Wrath immediately transformed into the Ice Mage King, unleashing frost power to freeze the battlefield.
Then it shifted into the Ghost Sword wielder, blade in hand, charging the fight.
The audience outside were left dumbstruck.
["Godlike… absolutely godlike!"]
["My scalp's tingling!"]
With the God of Wrath restraining the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence, Zhang Yue could put all his strength against the Flowing Gold Warrior.
Facts proved: in a 1v1 duel, the Flowing Gold Warrior was no match for Zhang Yue at all.
Without the aid of the three main gods, he quickly fell behind.
"Even after a thousand years, though revived, you're still this pathetic."
"Even given the chance, you're still useless."
Zhang Yue's taunt left the Flowing Gold Warrior without the strength to rebut.
Realizing he could no longer deal with Zhang Yue, the Flowing Gold Warrior hesitated a moment, then suddenly made a decision.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
He swung his greatsword, releasing dozens of sword beams at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue broke through and blocked them with Fatal Lock.
But unexpectedly: while Zhang Yue was defending, the Flowing Gold Warrior suddenly changed targets, sweeping instead toward the Ghost Sword wielder, Elfa, and the Ice Mage King, Kwon Ji-Hyun.
"A feint?"
By the time Zhang Yue realized, the Flowing Gold Warrior was already charging at Elfa and the others.
"Protect Lord Elfa!"
Dozens of knights from the Beacon Nation rushed out from both wings, forming a line of defense before Elfa and Kwon Ji-Hyun.
Unfortunately, in front of the Flowing Gold Warrior, they were nothing.
"Out of my way!"
With one sweep of his sword, he shattered the knights' defense in an instant, crushing them completely.
The next moment, his blade swung straight for Elfa and Kwon Ji-Hyun.
Clearly, they hadn't expected him to suddenly turn on them.
Moreover, bound by the Soul Curse, their movement had been restricted, leaving Elfa and Kwon Ji-Hyun no strength to resist the enemy charging straight at them.
Their pupils shrank wide; the sudden attack of the Flowing Gold Warrior filled them with despair.
Just as he was about to strike them down, when Elfa and Kwon Ji-Hyun thought they were dead—
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
Zhang Yue's figure flashed before the two.
Clang!
He used Fatal Lock to form a shield, blocking the strike.
Unfortunately, Fatal Lock was mainly an offensive tool; its defense was lacking, unable to fully withstand the Flowing Gold Warrior's full-force blow.
The divine sword broke through Fatal Lock's guard, but luckily Zhang Yue used a magic shield in tandem with Fatal Lock's buffering, holding the strike.
He countered with [Oblivion · Lightning's Might], blasting the Flowing Gold Warrior back.
Elfa and Kwon Ji-Hyun, who thought they were doomed, lifted their eyes to see Zhang Yue, who had just saved their lives, and their gaze filled with shock.
They never dreamed: the enemy they once sought to kill at all costs, now cast aside every grievance, saving them in their darkest moment.
At this instant, both Elfa and Kwon Ji-Hyun felt endless regret for what they had done to Zhang Yue before.
With the great enemy at hand, what mattered most was to put aside grudges and stand together.
Yet earlier, for selfish gain, they schemed against Zhang Yue, never once thinking to unite with him against the enemy.
Compared to Zhang Yue now, they truly had no magnanimity at all!
As the two were moved to their core by Zhang Yue's intervention, he turned sideways, speaking to them, "Don't misunderstand. I just don't want you to die at his hands."
With that, Zhang Yue raised his staff.
BOOM! BOOM!
A Thunderfire Inferno plus Dance of Lightning sent Elfa and Kwon Ji-Hyun spiraling into the sky.
