Seeing that its escape route had already been completely sealed, the God of Malevolence, Motan, prepared itself for a desperate final battle, intending to die together with Zhang Yue and his companions.
However, at that very moment, Zhang Yue suddenly stopped attacking, and even ordered the Ice-Sealed Throne and the others to cease their attacks as well.
The God of Malevolence's nine heads turned and looked around, clearly confused by Zhang Yue's behavior.
"Necromancer, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Yue habitually rested his staff on his shoulder, looked at the God of Malevolence, and said unhurriedly, "How about this, I'll give you a chance?"
"You tell me where your master came from. Just answer that one question, and I'll let you go. How about it?"
As soon as Zhang Yue finished speaking, the God of Malevolence fell silent for quite some time.
Then, in a deep, growling voice, it said, "Necromancer, what evil scheme are you plotting now?"
"I will never conspire or cooperate with a human! You lowly, pitiful creatures, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with the supreme Lord Gods?"
"Who said anything about cooperating with you?", Zhang Yue gave the God of Malevolence a disdainful look, "What are you even talking about? Working with you would only lower my standards."
"I'm talking about giving you a chance at self-redemption, not cooperation."
The God of Malevolence continued coldly, "I will never betray Lord Demon Emperor!"
"Ah, yes," Zhang Yue replied, "Your so-called Lord Demon Emperor, the one you trust the most."
"But it looks like he's already abandoned you and ran away alone, hasn't he?"
The God of Malevolence fell silent once again.
"He doesn't care whether you live or die, and you're still thinking about his well-being?"
"If you've got that much loyalty, maybe think more about saving yourself!"
When analyzed calmly, Zhang Yue's words actually made some sense.
But the God of Malevolence still refused to back down, "Do you think I don't know what you're planning? Even if I told you what you want to know, you'd still kill me!"
Zhang Yue blinked, slightly surprised.
"Well, look at that. Didn't think this guy actually had a bit of a brain, he's not as stupid as I thought."
"Fine then," Zhang Yue shrugged indifferently, "If you don't want the chance, then forget I ever offered it."
As he said that, Zhang Yue raised his staff and locked onto the God of Malevolence, beginning to cast his spell.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM BOOM!
After another round of fierce bombardment, the God of Malevolence's HP bar dropped below ten percent.
At that moment, its once-tough mouth finally softened.
"Wait! Wait! Wait!"
Right before being killed, the God of Malevolence hurriedly shouted to Zhang Yue, "I'll talk! I'll tell you!"
"I'll work with you! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything I know."
As the glow of magic faded from the tip of his staff, Zhang Yue lowered it again.
'So, gentleness doesn't work. But hard power does.'
Now Zhang Yue understood: this God of Malevolence only responded to force.
He looked at the God of Malevolence and smiled, "That's more like it."
"Now, go ahead, answer my earlier question."
The God of Malevolence's nine pairs of eyes all fixed on Zhang Yue, "What question?"
"Are you dumb from all the hits?"
Zhang Yue repeated patiently, "Where did the Demon Emperor come from?"
Before answering, the God of Malevolence asked, "If I answer your question, will you really let me go?"
Zhang Yue gave it a look as if it were an idiot, "Well, if you don't answer, you'll definitely die."
"Dragon Nation people don't lie to Dragon Nation people."
After hesitating for a moment, the God of Malevolence said, "I don't know where the Demon Emperor came from."
Zhang Yue was silent for three full seconds.
Said nothing.
Then simply raised his staff again.
The God of Malevolence was stunned, "Didn't you just say you'd let me go once I answered your question?"
Zhang Yue replied, "So, you answered my question?"
"I did!", the God of Malevolence said seriously, "I said I don't know!"
"I really don't know where he came from. I only know I was sealed in the Endless Abyss for a hundred years, and that Lord Demon Emperor released me. After that, I've always served him."
"I even asked him that same question once, but he never answered me."
Hearing that answer, Zhang Yue was utterly disappointed.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you really don't know?"
All nine pairs of the God of Malevolence's eyes gleamed with sincerity, "I really don't know!"
"Fine then."
Zhang Yue lost his patience, "Then you can die."
"You just said you wouldn't kill me if I answered! You even said Dragon Nation people don't lie to Dragon Nation people," the God of Malevolence said in panic, "Even if my answer was 'I don't know,' I still answered your question! Necromancer, how can you do something so shameless and heartless?"
"Mm, I said that if you don't answer my question, you'll definitely die," Zhang Yue replied, "But I never said that if you did answer, you'd live."
"Besides, 'Dragon Nation people don't lie to Dragon Nation people', I'm from the Dragon Nation. Are you? Obviously not. You're not even human."
The God of Malevolence immediately flushed with rage.
"I knew humans couldn't be trusted! You're all deceitful, hypocritical beasts!"
At this point, the God of Malevolence resolved to fight Zhang Yue to the bitter end.
Opening its massive jaws, it fired a beam of death straight at him.
Zhang Yue quickly unfurled his Angel's Wings, forming feather shields that perfectly blocked the attack.
With his defense boosted a hundredfold, the God of Malevolence's assault couldn't even penetrate the Angel's Shield, it didn't even shake the shield bar above Zhang Yue's head.
While Zhang Yue held off its attack, the Ice-Sealed Throne, Skeleton King, Predator, and Cherry all launched their own strikes.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Powerful attacks rained down on the God of Malevolence, making it howl in agony.
The Ice-Sealed Throne's frost power interrupted its spellcasting.
Taking that chance, Zhang Yue dismissed the Angel's Wings, and lifted his staff again, unleashing a storm of 5S-level spells that raged like a hurricane, washing over the God of Malevolence.
Combined with the relentless assault from his pet team, in an instant, the God of Malevolence's remaining 9% HP bar was completely emptied.
ROAR!
With a final wail of despair, the massive body of the God of Malevolence, Motan, crashed heavily to the ground.
The next moment—
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Several streams of golden light rained down over Zhang Yue's head.
After all, the God of Malevolence's true level and strength were equivalent to level 450.
It had only been suppressed to level 290 by the Death Domain's restrictions.
So, killing a level 290 God of Malevolence within the Death Territory meant that, in the battle settlement, the system would still reward Zhang Yue as if he had slain a level 450 King-tier Boss.
It went without saying, when a level-280 player kills a level-450 King-tier Boss, the rewards are unimaginably rich…
