Chapter 363: Support-Type Deities

Chapter 363: Support-Type Deities

In the sky above, the sounds of battle and shouting grew ever more intense. The roars of combat, the cries of warriors, and the booming of divine techniques echoed constantly in the air. The clash had reached a fierce peak.

Amid this fierce struggle, the fall of gods was no longer rare. But what shocked everyone was that their fall was entirely one-sided.

On the Underworld side, the number of deities was small, yet every one of them possessed extraordinary strength. Since the start of the battle, only two had withdrawn with minor injuries.

In contrast, on the divine realm's side, gods were falling at the rate of ten per second. Especially those without godhood to support them—like divine officers and celestial hunters—were no more than lambs awaiting slaughter before the gods of the Underworld. A single divine strike could wipe out a swath of them.

The five god-kings were all held back. Xiao Yu, too, had no opponent. With the Underworld Sword in hand, he moved unhindered, unstoppable. Wherever his sword light swept, whether divine officers, celestial hunters, or even second- and third-level deities, their bodies exploded into a final, dazzling burst of light, like fireworks leaving their last trace in the world.

Just then, a sharp killing intent surged forward. Xiao Yu instinctively raised his sword in front of him to block.

Clang! Clang!

A powerful force struck, sending Xiao Yu staggering back several steps. Only then did he clearly see his attacker—it was one of the most elite first-level gods of the divine realm, the God of Destruction's right-hand man: the God of Destruction and Ruin.

"You deserve to die!"

The God of Ruin's eyes were wide with fury. His black pupils radiated boundless killing intent.

As the trusted lieutenant of the God of Destruction, the God of Ruin constantly sought ways to expand the divine realm.

Now, regardless of how this battle ended, with so many gods fallen, the divine realm would enter its weakest period. Expansion was now out of reach. The one responsible for all of this stood right before him—Xiao Yu.

With a furious roar, the God of Ruin raised both of his hammers. Accompanied by howling winds, two iron hammers—each several times larger than the Clear Sky Hammers used by Tang Hao and Tang Xiao—came crashing down.

Xiao Yu's six wings flared out. In a flash, he reappeared over ten meters behind the God of Ruin.

Also known as the God of Strength, his name alone made his nature clear—a deity of overwhelming brute force. Xiao Yu would never be foolish enough to clash with him head-on.

The God of Ruin's twin hammers struck only air, and he stumbled forward several steps from the momentum.

Xiao Yu raised his left hand. Countless energy spheres cloaked in black flames floated behind him like stars in the night sky. With a wave of his arm, they shot forward like a meteor shower.

The God of Ruin turned abruptly, swinging his giant hammers furiously at the incoming barrage.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The God of Ruin's hammers spun like windmills. As the black-flame meteor spheres neared him, each one was smashed and exploded instantly.

"Such tremendous strength… You really are the right hand of the Destruction God-King!"

Xiao Yu grinned. His fingers closed together as all the scattered energy spheres converged above, forming a massive energy bomb over ten meters in diameter.

"Let's see if you can block this one!"

The God of Ruin roared, and his hammers erupted in a blinding radiance. Behind him, a silver halo burst with light as he poured everything into a devastating swing.

But when the twin hammers struck the giant energy bomb, it was as if they had plunged into water—no ripple, no reaction.

The immense orb slowly devoured the God of Ruin's body. The instant it swallowed him whole, it exploded, unleashing a flood of destructive power.

Under the overwhelming blast, not a single cell of the God of Ruin remained.

Among first-level deities, the God of Ruin ranked in the top three. For him to fall after only a few exchanges with Xiao Yu struck terror into the hearts of all divine realm gods—everyone except the five god-kings who had already witnessed Xiao Yu's heaven-defying strength.

"Goddess of Nine Colors, God of Food—lend me your strength!"

The God of Emotions, Rong Nianbing, shouted with all his might. He was the strongest deity under god-kings. Now, even he had no choice but to push forward with gritted teeth.

At his call, the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess activated their divine powers. Dazzling radiance burst from the couple, pouring precisely into Rong Nianbing.

As the seniors of Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess were known best for their Martial Soul Fusion Technique—Resurrection Radiance. Its power was so great it could revive deities far beyond their own level, earning it the reputation of the divine realm's greatest cheat ability.

Beyond resurrection, their main ability was amplification, similar to support-type soul masters in the soul master system.

The light from their powers kept merging into Rong Nianbing's body, his aura surging to incredible levels.

Already near the threshold of god-king, with their boost, he immediately broke through to that realm.

"Die, sinner! You who brought chaos upon the divine realm!"

Normally kind, Rong Nianbing now wore a fierce expression. With a wave of his hand, a massive fire dragon roared out. Then came a water dragon, followed by wind, earth, light, darkness, and space dragons. Seven dragons in total charged ferociously at Xiao Yu.

"Just a mere false god-king, and you dare act arrogant in front of me?"

Xiao Yu growled coldly, gripping his longsword as a surge of Underworld King power poured into it. Without hesitation, he raised his arm and slashed.

Sword energy tore through the air. A violent wind howled, and an unimaginably brilliant light ripped space apart, striking all seven mighty dragons in one blow.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosive blasts followed. Rong Nianbing's summoned dragons were all reduced to dust.

His face changed. Before he could react, Xiao Yu stepped into the air and vanished.

But his true target wasn't Rong Nianbing—it was the ones who had empowered him: the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess.

In group combat, taking out the backline is eternal law.

Especially since their fusion technique, Resurrection Radiance, was infuriatingly powerful.

When Ning Rongrong and Oscar used it, the conditions were strict. The revived had to die within an hour, and their body must remain intact. Even then, both would lose soul power for a month. If they revived a god, their martial souls would fall into slumber, taking a year to recover even if awakened.

But that was because they were only successors of the Nine-Colored Goddess and God of Food—just Title Douluo in cultivation.

Now, these were true gods. The conditions to use Resurrection Radiance would surely be far more favorable. Xiao Yu wasn't about to let a bunch of revived gods pop back up mid-battle.

In the instant he vanished, Xiao Yu reappeared right before the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess.

A single flash of sword light swept through them both.

As support-type deities with weak combat ability, they instantly dissolved into a spray of starlight, vanishing into the air.
