Chapter 41: Strength Upgrade, The Immortal Lightning Dragon

The Underworld Flames emitted by the dragon were considered a special type of magical fire. While not aggressive, it was considered quite ‘vicious’.

It had the characteristics of corrosion, demon-breaking, soul-burning, and curse while fully ignoring a person’s defense.

Once attacked, even a god of the same level would become a soulless corpse without any visible wounds on the surface.

The prisoners’ leader had used this method to kill several priests within Vogah’s divine domain, which was why he had been imprisoned here.

He had thought that the Underworld Flames Dragon could easily kill Sullo.

Then, he could seize the key to open the barrier and escape from this prison planet he was trapped in.

But unexpectedly, the Underworld Flames Dragon was blocked by an ordinary golden light shield.

In fact, when that flame—which was said to be able to ignore defenses and possess soul-searing properties—encountered the golden barrier of light, it was actually like snow meeting the sun, melting and extinguishing the flames before they even reached Sullo.

But what caused the prison leader to feel even more terrified was the Lightning Dragon that shot out from Sullo’s hand.

“Lightning Dragon? No, that’s impossible. You are just a puny three-star demigod. How could you possibly manifest one of the laws of lightning? This is something that only experts who have comprehended the laws of lightning are capable of!

“If you have comprehended the laws of lightning, then your power will be able to break through to become a four-star god. What exactly is going on? Gah! Wait, spare me…”

The prison leader’s face changed dramatically. His face was filled with terror and in a desolate voice, he began to beg for mercy.

However, the giant Lightning Dragon which had been released by Sullo acted like an intelligent being and had actually locked its sights onto him.

“Roaaar!”

The giant Lightning Dragon roared toward the sky. After circling around in the air, it then swallowed the prison leader whole.

The laws of lightning were specialized in restraining evil and darkness-type energy.

In addition, Sullo had poured a tremendous amount of faith energy into him and had actually killed a five-star god in one blow.

The pitiful prison leader didn’t even have the chance to let out a miserable cry before he was buried within the giant Lightning Dragon, transforming into a pile of dust that scattered into the heavens.

How could he have known that Sullo hadn’t merely comprehended the laws of lightning, but also knew the most powerful law of defense, which was on par with the laws of lightning—the indestructible divine body.

The reason why Sullo was still a three-star demigod was because his ambition was even greater. He wanted to condense the most powerful shield and most powerful spear before advancing to a four-star God to reach nirvana.

Just like that, Sullo had used his indestructible divine body to withstand the attacks of the Underworld Fire Dragon, then used the Lightning Dragon to kill the prison leader. It was then that he felt there was actually an opportunity to fuse the two opposing laws into one.

Without saying anything else, Sullo immediately set up a defensive barrier around himself.

Then, he sat floating in the sky, beginning to fuse the indestructible divine body and the Lightning Dragon.

The core of the Lightning Dragon was indestructible, while the core of the indestructible divine body was unbreakable.

However, the two laws had one thing in common, which was that they were supreme and domineering.

Although one focused on attacking while the other focused on defense, they were still two sides of the same coin.

Seizing this characteristic, Sullo took the opportunity to ‘break through’.

The golden light barrier formed by the immortal divine body dissipated, and the Lightning Dragon also began to split.

In its place were nine Immortal Lightning Dragons circling around him.

These Immortal Lightning Dragons shrank in size. Each of them was as thick as a water tank but were now the size of an arm. They swam back and forth around Sullo.

If the Lightning Dragons from before were only condensed through wisps of thunder, their appearance was just like bubbles. After their energy was exhausted, they would disappear automatically.

But now, the shrunken Immortal Lightning Dragons were like real living creatures, lifelike and possessing extremely high intelligence.

As long as Sullo could provide energy replenishment, these Immortal Lightning Dragons would exist forever and would even become stronger as Sullo’s strength increased.

These Immortal Lightning Dragons also had a very high defense. As long as the opponent’s strength did not surpass Sullo’s, it would be impossible to disperse the Immortal Lightning Dragons.

They could also automatically block hostile attacks. No matter what kind of attack it was, it would not be able to break through the defensive circle formed by the Immortal Lightning Dragons.

In fact, after these Immortal Lightning Dragons were attacked, they would automatically counterattack in the direction of the attack.

They could also be controlled by Sullo to attack any enemy within his line of sight.

The original indestructible divine body could only passively defend. Although the Lightning Dragon’s damage was great, it was only like a large grenade, able to drag the enemy down with it.

When it was activated, it needed to consume two portions of faith power at the same time. It also had a very high requirement of requiring its caster to skillfully calculate its position and trajectory.

But now, the nine Immortal Lightning Dragons possessed both defensive and offensive properties. They only needed to consume one portion of faith power, and they could even automatically defend and attack.

When the Immortal Lightning Dragons were created, Sullo’s divine domain had also risen to the level of a four-star god.

He had a vague feeling that as his power increased, the Immortal Lightning Dragons would become even stronger and their numbers would increase as well.

Most importantly, after fusing the immortal divine body with the Lightning Dragon, he was able to unleash the effect of perfect offense and defense.

With Sullo’s current strength, he was able to easily insta-kill a god of the same level, easily kill a five-star god, and defeat a six-star god.

Even if he encountered a seven-star god, it wasn’t impossible for him to fight against him.

And he didn’t need to rely on his elemental control and a massive amount of faith power to eliminate the god like he did with Kabala.

At this moment, the battle on this planet had finally come to an end.

The members of the Thunder God squad surrounded him, their faces filled with veneration as they looked at Sullo.

“Congratulations captain for becoming a god. You’ve successfully killed the prison leader and completed your trial mission.”

“Captain, you’re truly too powerful. You actually used the power of a three-star demigod to forcibly kill a five-star god. This is simply inconceivable.”

“Right! To be able to kill an opponent of a different level already makes you a peerless genius, but the captain actually crossed two levels. This includes the great gap between a demigod and a god. He truly is incredible.”

One member after another was filled with joy as they praised Sullo.

With such a powerful captain, they would have more chances to perform meritorious deeds while ensuring their own safety.

This was why when they had seen that Sullo was only a three-star demigod, they had been so disappointed.

At this moment, the two vice-captains who previously looked down upon Sullo lowered their heads, their faces filled with shame.

When this captain’s level was lower than theirs, he had been able to kill opponents who were more powerful than them.

Now that his level was on par with theirs, it was far beyond what they could challenge.

“Greetings, captain. The two of us are willing to follow your guidance.”

“Your flag is where we point our blades!”
