Staring at the young man’s face, listening to the young man’s words, the online world went into a state of delirium.

  “How could it be him? Didn’t he go missing? How come he has suddenly popped out?”

  “It turns out that this guy is not a Kryptonian at all, but Ling Jiu. D*mn! We were all deceived by him.”

  “It’s Ling Jiu! It’s him! He’s back!”

  “Ling Jiu is back at last! I knew that he’d be back. Ooh, he’s back, he’s finally back!”

  “At first I thought this Kryptonian was weird, wondering why he did not stay in America but came to the pantheon. Damn, it turns out that he is a Kryptonian.”

  “Is it me or is Ling Jiu overly powerful? He just killed three kings of the gods!”

  Shocked.

  Surprised.

  Excited.

  Netizens around the world watching the live streaming went into a frenzy. Those bullet titles fell like snowflakes on the screens, almost overwhelming the servers handling the live streaming.

  “I knew this guy would not die!”

  In Pangu Arcana Combine Building in Chang’an Base City, Li Kai was crying and laughing as he looked at the screen and plunged into endless excitement.

  On the highest floor of the building, Ai Yuhe looked at the young man on the computer screen and let out a faint sigh. A hint of regret mixed with shock appeared on her face.

  “I didn’t expect that he would become so powerful in just ten years. I am now not even qualified to look up to him.”

  Beijing Base City.

  Zhou Ji, who had become the middle-level leader of Pangu Arcana Combine, was also watching the live streaming.

  When he saw the young man turning out to be Ling Jiu on the screen, he could not help but shake his head and forced a smile. “This guy is finally back. Just that his strength……”

  Japan.

  Sixty years ago, Japan was annihilated because of the rise of direbeasts. Many people died and only a few rich people and those who had gone abroad escaped.

  These Japanese were scattered around the world, becoming immigrants in foreign countries.

  But with the birth of the Japanese gods, many Japanese returned to the islands of Japan.

  They wiped out the direbeasts in an attempt to reestablish the country with the help of the Japanese gods.

  Hirano Hatake was one of them.

  \r \r \r

  He was a talent trained in the Super Matriculation Camp. After the birth of the Japanese gods, he betrayed Pangu and defected to the Japanese pantheon.

  In his own words to comfort himself, he said, “My life goal is to restore my country. Now that the opportunity is here, I will not miss it.”

  Hirano Hagi believed all along that he had made the right choice.

  Especially when the major pantheons had defeated stellar beings like Emperor Might and Vulcan, Hirano Hatake knew that there was a hope for reestablishing the country of Japan and he could play an important role.

  He was even appreciated by the Japanese pantheon and chosen as the son of god.

  As long as he becomes a stellar life, he would be deified, becoming a supreme god.

  But he suddenly regretted it at this moment. ……

  “He turns out to be an Earthling.”

  Zod and Kal exchanged a glance with each other. They both saw surprises in each other’s eyes. No wonder they did not recognize him; he turned out to be an earthling impersonator.

  “This guy is so daring to pretend to be one of us. He is foolhardy!” Zod snorted. There was a fleeting bitterness in his eyes.

  “I read his file,” Kal said in a low voice. “His name is Ling Jiu, the first genius on Earth. I heard he took only two years to become a stellar being.”

  “Two years? Stellar being?” Zod’s brows were knitted together tightly. Earthlings could not compare with Kryptonians in terms of strength. But Earthlings had great potential and talent.

  Stellar beings had appeared after Earth had only developed for 50 years. No one knew how far they could go if this momentum continued.

  So Zod thought he had already overestimated Earthlings.

  But he never expected that someone on Earth could become a stellar being in two years.

  “What is more terrifying is that he went missing for less than 10 years, and when he reappeared, he was already a super-clustered being. He could not challenge you and me,” Kal slowly said. “This earthling has incredible talent. If he continues to grow, even Kryptonians like us will find it difficult to gain a foothold on Earth.”

  “Then let’s just kill him.” Zod gritted his teeth. “Earth is a very amazing planet connected to many wormholes. It is going to be the new home for us, the Kryptonians.”

  “I will allow no one to stop the rise of Kryptonians on Earth. No one can.”

  “Then let’s do it.” Kal took a deep breath. “Kill him in the cradle before he has fully grown up. Otherwise, it will be too late.”

  “Yeah.” Zod nodded vigorously and shouted his order. “Someone, gather all the super-clustered beings and follow me to Mount Olympus!”

  “Aye, General!” ……

  All eyes from around the world were on Ling Jiu. It was also at this moment that the earthlings became worried.

  Can Ling Jiu defeat the gods?

  People just rubbernecked when Ling Jiu was impersonating a young Kryptonian. They did not care who would win the battle. They were happy to see both sides fight each other to death.

  But now, the Kryptonian had turned out to be Ling Jiu, and people could no longer rubberneck—Ling Jiu was their own kind.

  There would be trouble if Ling Jiu lost.

  “Everyone, do you think Ling Jiu can win?”

  “Ling Jiu must win! He had better win. Or else, our earth will have no more hope.”

  “Since Ling Jiu dared to come, it means he has confidence in his own strength. I believe he can defeat the gods and wipe out the Kryptonians!”

  “Absolutely! Ling Jiu will definitely win!”

  “Beat the hell out of them, Ling Jiu!” ……

  “It doesn’t matter if you are an earthling or a Kryptonian!” Zeus slowly said, “You must die today!”

  A powerful energy burst out of the twelve kings of gods as soon as his voice trailed off. It swept across the entire pantheon and then spread outside in all directions.

  Many journalists felt their chests tighten, as if they were carrying a boulder. They could not help but go down to their knees. Even the gods in the pantheon were forced back at once.

  Only Ling Jiu was still standing still. The energy force felt like a breeze blowing into his face.

  “Bring it on. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.”

  Ling Jiu rose into the air. He performed a Blink Arcana and appeared in the air outside the pantheon.

  The twelves kings of the gods faded into dozens of streams of light to come to the outside and encircled Ling Jiu. “Don’t ever think of getting away, you mortal!”

  “Die!” Zeus roared. A silvery thunderbolt struck down from heaven like a thunder dragon with a loud clap and struck Ling Jiu.

  “Mortal, you have sinned!” Odin was wielding a scepter and pointed at Ling Jiu with it. A golden rainbow tore through heaven and earth like a peerless divine sword to strike at Ling Jiu.

  “Alala!” Poseidon wielded his trident with a water dragon formed by blue tadpoles on the surface slamming into Ling Jiu.

  “Go to hell, human!” A pair of black mist wings spread out behind Hades, the god of the underworld. Countless black giant claws shot out from the wings and grabbed at Ling Jiu.

  “Eat this, human!” Thor, the god of thunder; Ra, the god of the sun; Horus, the god of the sky; Anubis, the god of death; and the three highest gods of Hindu all attacked at once.

  Twelves different moves of attack shot out at the same time, as if they were to grind Ling Jiu’s bones to dust and obliterate his soul so that he could not live another life.

  “What a terrifying attack!”

  “Can Ling Jiu make it?”

  People were on the edge of their seats.

  “He is going to make it! He will!”

  People were clenching their fists.

  “Hang in there!”

  Everyone was watching with bated breath.

  Chapter 316: Shooting Three Arrows in a Row, Killing the King in Seconds

  How powerful were the twelve gods when they joined forces?

  No one knew.

  The journalists and even the gods standing on the square were watching with bated breath when they sensed the destructive energy of the twelve gods.

  They felt that even the aftershock of this energy, not to mention the actual attack, could pulverize them.

  Too powerful and terrible!

  “Can Ling Jiu hold out?”

  Netizens were waiting with bated breath.

  Ling Jiu was the calmest person among those at the scene. The corner of his mouth curled up in a smirk as attacks came in all directions.

  “What makes a bunch of feckless doofus like you all can kill me? Who gives you the confidence?”

  “Void Devouring!” Ling Jiu opened his mouth.

  The next moment, a giant silvery phantom beast, which was tens of thousands of meters long, appeared above Ling Jiu’s head.

  Baroom!

  The giant beast swallowed the twelve attacks, almost like a solar eclipse. It had even swallowed the void in their surroundings.

  Baroom!

  The world fell into silence while the silvery giant beast was swallowing the twelve kings of gods.

  “Sh*t!”

  “Fall back!”

  The face of the twelve kings of gods changed drastically as they withdrew.

  They moved quickly and retreated a few miles away in the blink of an eye, avoiding the swallowing attack.

  “So quick to run!” Ling Jiu chuckled and withdrew his Void Devouring. The void in the surroundings recovered as the phantom of the Void Behemoth disappeared.

  “Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!”

  “He swallowed it again! The attack of the twelve kings of gods was swallowed again!”

  “This skill is incredibly similar to how he swallowed the Insectoid army last time. What is this ability?”

  “Incredible! Absolutely powerful! He was downright sick when he devoured the attack of the twelve kings of the gods so effortlessly.”

  Everyone was shocked, going into a frenzy online when people saw Ling Jiu’s move.

  In fact, they were not the only ones feeling shocked.

  “Who is this guy? What ability is that? He swallowed all our attacks in one breath!”

  Those gods standing on the square of the pantheon looked a little surprised, as they had never seen this ability.

  “I suppose it is some kind of dimensional ability.” Zeus’s face was grim. “He is good, but he still has to die.”

  Bolts of lightning burst out of Zeus as soon as his voice trailed off. These lightning bolts combined and formed into a long silvery river.

  \r \r \r

  The long silvery river crackled, as if countless birds were chirping and singing, revealing a powerful force of unparalleled terror.

  “A Disgusting mortal, no one can save you today!”

  Zeus snorted, his body fusing with the long silvery river as he lunged at Ling Jiu.

  This long silvery river was his killer move, a lightning attack move, formed completely by the Law of Thunder and Lightning, capable of destroying everything.

  It had exceptional attack ability.

  It could destroy not only human bodies but also human souls. Zeus was confident that he could injure Ling Jiu severely with this ability.

  Ling took out a golden bow and arrow with the flip of his hand, just as the silvery river was about to hit him.

  The bow and arrow were golden, and the bowstring was red, exuding a breathtaking and terrifying coercive force.

  “Your Majesty Zeus, this bow killed a super-clustered being before. And you will be next.”

  Ling Jiu sneered as he took out a bow and an arrow, and pulled the bowstring back. The golden arrow shot out with a twang as he released the bowstring.

  Whoosh!

  The arrow pierced through the void and vanished. When it reappeared, it was not far away from Zeus.

  It shocked Zeus as the arrow shot through the silvery river formed by the Law of Thunder and Lightning, and came within inches away from him.

  “That’s impossible!” Zeus’s face changed drastically. He felt an air of death in this arrow. He could be seriously injured, if not die, if this arrow hit him.

  Holding nothing back, Zeus summoned lightning bolts and performed a Dominion of God, turning tens of miles of space into an ocean of lightning.

  Zeus got an enormous boost in strength with Dominion of God. He wanted to parry the arrow with Dominion of God.

  Unfortunately, the golden bow and arrow were far more powerful than Zeus thought.

  The arrow flew through Dominion of God, just like Hou Yi’s sun shooting skill. It then pierced through the center of Zeus’s forehead to the horror of Zeus before it exited from the back of his head.

  Zeus froze on the spot, motionless. Everyone could see blood oozing out of the wound on Zeus’s forehead.

  “How—how could this be possible?”

  The faces of the other eleven kings of gods changed drastically, horror filling their eyes.

  They were not the only ones feeling shocked. The other gods in the square were also horrified and could not believe that Zeus was killed.

  “No. This did not happen. It is not real.”

  “His Majesty the King of Gods is the most powerful being of the Greek pantheon. He became the king of the gods thousands of years ago. How could he be killed? This is impossible!”

  “How could the king of the gods be killed?”

  As horrified as those gods were, they could not stop Zeus’s death. Zeus’s body appeared in the sky as the ocean of lightning dissipated.

  Zeus plunged from the sky and crashed through the roof of the pantheon below.

  He was dead.

  He was killed by an arrow.

  No one could have imagined that Zeus, the third generation king of the gods, who ruled the Greek pantheon for thousands of years, would die here in such circumstances.

  This was something unimaginable, incredible, and unbelievable.

  While everyone was still in shock, Ling Jiu was making another move. He took out a golden arrow again, loaded it on the bowstring, and aimed it at the second king of the gods.

  Once the killing started, it was not going to end easily. Moreover, Ling Jiu had no plans to stop. He would take no prisoners, be them the gods or the Kryptonians.

  This time, Ling Jiu locked his eyes on Poseidon, the god of the sea.

  While Poseidon, the god of the sea, was still in shock from the death of Zeus, a cold wind suddenly engulfed him. His heart skipped a beat.

  He found himself frozen in place before he could do anything. The next moment, a golden arrow traveled through the void and appeared in front of him.

  Shhtaab! Poseidon’s body stiffened as he felt a sharp pain coming from his forehead.

  “I—I couldn’t believe I would die here at the hands of a mortal!”

  Poseidon murmured, disbelief filling his gradually closing eyes as his body plunged from the sky.

  The second king of gods was dead.

  “Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!”

  “How could this happen?”

  “How could this happen?”

  People went into a frenzy online again.

  People were absolutely shocked.

  At first, they were worried about Ling Jiu.

  They could not help it.

  As talented as Ling Jiu was, he was only twenty—too young.

  What he was facing were twelve kings of the gods. Could he beat opponents like the twelve kings of the gods?

  Everyone was a bundle of nerves.

  The most they expected of Ling Jiu was for him to survive the attack of the twelve kings of gods.

  In this way, Earth would at least have a being who could counter the gods and the Kryptonians.

  And the gods and the Kryptonians would not run amuck on Earth, and earthlings would undergo tremendous changes.

  But reality gave everyone such a pleasant surprise. Ling Jiu could not only match the strength of the kings of the gods but also kill two of them in a row with arrows.

  He had exceptional ability. He was absolutely powerful.

  Excitement spread online. Ling Jiu did not stop there. Instead, he once again took out a golden arrow and aimed it at a third king of gods.

  This time, he was aiming at Hades, the god of the underworld.

  “No!”

  Hades’s face changed drastically. With no hesitation, he ran, despite unfitting the king of the gods. He couldn’t care less, as it was a matter of life and death. Staying alive was more important than preserving his ego.

  He realized that Ling Jiu had the ability of wiping out all the kings of the gods, and he would only end up like Zeus and Poseidon if he stayed.

  So he had to flee.

  He had to flee as far as he could.

  He wanted to flee this place for good.

  Only then he would be safe.

  “Thinking of running away? It’s too late.”

  Ling Jiu pulled the bowstring with a sneer.

  Whoosh!

  The golden arrow shot out, coming behind Hades in less than 1/100,000 seconds before penetrating the back of his head.
