Chapter 64: Dan Heng vs. Destruction

A red glow spread, enveloping a hundred-mile radius.

Poseidon, the Sea God, dashed through the crimson haze, his speed significantly reduced as he watched the God of Destruction rapidly close in from behind.

Seeing that he couldn't outrun him, Poseidon simply stopped running.

Under these circumstances, there was no point in trying to flee any further—it would only make him look even more pathetic.

The God of Lust chuckled, "Sea God, what will you do now? Lord Destruction is absolutely furious!"

Poseidon rolled his eyes and said indifferently, "What can he do? Kill me? Y'all are the ones stirring up trouble when Moon Drinking Lord was never even an enemy in the first place..."

Suddenly, a beam of red light shot over Poseidon's head and stopped right in front of him.

The surrounding crimson mist converged into this figure.

The God of Destruction raised his head, his hood falling back to reveal a face filled with authority and an unmistakable grimness.

"Poseidon! Explain this to me!"

His voice was almost squeezed out through gritted teeth.

Poseidon let go of the God of Lust and raised both hands in surrender, answering honestly, "Isn't it obvious? I helped Moon Drinking Lord lure you away. Destruction, don't act rashly..."

"Heh..."

The God of Destruction was so furious that he laughed.

"Good, very good! Poseidon, you certainly have guts, daring to blatantly oppose me!"

A violent surge of divine power erupted from his body.

The surrounding space cracked, revealing streaks of deep purple—an unmistakable sign of his overwhelming fury.

Even the God of Lust panicked, exclaiming, "Poseidon, you'd better let me go! Quickly!"

Poseidon shook his head. "Not happening. This is a mess. Destruction, calm down! We're all gods of the Divine Realm—you can't just bully us because you're stronger!"

He saw the God of Destruction suddenly retreat. Along his path, space itself seemed to shatter in his wake.

That made Poseidon truly nervous.

This stance—Destruction was clearly serious about fighting!

He was just a peak First-Class God—how could he possibly stand a chance in a direct clash against the God of Destruction?

"Let me go, you bastard! I don't want to die with you!" the God of Lust shouted anxiously.

At that moment, the God of Destruction had already put a hundred meters between them. A scepter appeared in his hand—the Scepter of Destruction, an ultimate divine weapon renowned as one of the strongest offensive artifacts in the Divine Realm.

The fact that he had drawn it meant he was truly going all out!

"Damn! This madman—was it really necessary to go this far over a simple distraction?! God of Lust, if he insists on losing his mind, then I'm sorry, but we're in this together. Let's be a pair of doomed lovers!"

Poseidon spoke tensely.

At the same time, he raised his Trident of the Sea, summoning wave after wave of oceanic barriers that materialized around him, layering upon one another like walls.

He gathered all his divine power into these barriers. Running was not an option.

Turning his back and fleeing in front of a stronger opponent was the most foolish decision one could make.

A hundred meters—far too close a distance for gods!

"This is all your fault! Why provoke Lord Destruction? I swear, Moon Drinking Lord is the worst! He ran off to avoid facing Destruction's wrath, and now we're the ones suffering for it—"

"Shut up!!!"

Poseidon roared in frustration.

At that instant, a hundred meters away, the God of Destruction suddenly raised his scepter.

A massive black thunder sphere rapidly took form in the sky.

The sphere's surface was encased in a layer of blue-violet lightning, carrying a storm of destruction—the very essence of annihilation.

"Moon Drinking Lord If you don't want your little helper to die, then show yourself right now! You have ten seconds!"

The God of Destruction's voice spread across the sky.

Poseidon immediately felt insulted—he had come to help Dan Heng, and now Dan Heng was supposed to come and save him?

That would be a total failure!

"Cut the crap! Destruction! You wouldn't dare kill me! And besides, Moon Drinking Lord already left the Divine Realm! No matter how much you yell, he won't show up!" Poseidon sneered.

But the God of Destruction ignored him entirely—his focus was solely on Dan Heng.

He continued channeling energy into the black thunder sphere, growing it larger and larger. Storms swirled across its surface.

"!!!"

The God of Lust was utterly terrified.

She shrieked, "Poseidon, you idiot! Let me go! That's Lord Destruction's ultimate attack—Annihilation Storm! No one has ever survived this attack unharmed!"

"A mere First-Class God like you—if you take that head-on, you'll be completely obliterated!"

"I refuse to die with you! Let me go!!"

No matter how much she struggled, Poseidon refused to release her.

He clutched her collar tightly, his eyes fixed on the God of Destruction's terrifying divine power.

Under the looming black thunder sphere, he too felt an overwhelming pressure.

For the first time, he smelled the scent of death.

But for him to beg for mercy? Or plead for Dan Heng's help?

Never!

"You think I'm scared of you? Come at me, Destruction! Quit showing off!"

The moment Poseidon spoke—

The God of Destruction released the black thunder sphere, now over a hundred meters in diameter.

It moved forward at a seemingly slow pace, inching toward them bit by bit, carving a tunnel through space itself.

At the same time, it absorbed all surrounding light, turning the entire sky into a void of darkness.

But this was not slowness—it was speed beyond comprehension, bending even the flow of time.

Poseidon and the God of Lust watched it draw closer but could not muster a single thought of resistance.

"You're going to get me killed!" the God of Lust cursed.

Poseidon desperately poured the last of his divine power into strengthening his oceanic barriers.

Then—

A light flashed behind them.

Like the first ray of dawn breaking through the night.

Poseidon and the God of Lust instinctively turned around.

Behind them, light had returned, splitting through the sky. Even the cloud sea opened up as though sliced by an invisible blade.

And then—

A golden flash shot past their heads, disappearing in an instant.

It was the fastest of speeds—blazing overhead like a streak of lightning, piercing through the darkness.

Before the two gods could turn back around—

They felt the black thunder sphere shattering behind them.

A wave of divine power erupted, violently shaking Poseidon's oceanic barriers.

Whoosh!

They turned their heads just in time to witness an unforgettable sight.

The so-called Annihilation Storm, the sphere of ultimate destruction—had been pierced through.

A massive hole had been torn right through its center.

Light poured out from the wound, dissipating the darkness.

Beyond the fading sphere—

The God of Destruction was no longer there.
