Darkness and chaos.

Unspeakable emptiness and dead silence lingered in his mind.

Richard experienced this environment for the second time.

He did not know how long it had been, whether it had been a minute or centuries.

He only slowly regained consciousness when he sensed a light ahead of him.

Then, he gradually took control of his body.

The majestic power hidden in his flesh and blood returned.

He slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him was a mummy with a crown and two ribbons that floated in the air.

Gray.

After the name appeared in his mind, his memories flooded in.

In an instant, his eyes regained their clarity.

He slowly sat up and let out a long breath.

He looked around.

At this moment, the troops had gathered. Richard could see the Dark Temple quietly seated not far away through the cracks.

The aura that made him feel great danger had disappeared without a trace.

There was no sign of battle around him.

In the depths of the earth, the nine Ankham divine guards he had imprisoned with quicksand lay quietly in the yellow sand.

It was as if they were dead.

After he calmed himself down, he stood up and looked at Gunter.

“Is that giant evil god statue broken?”

The mummy hero, covered in blood-colored bandages, immediately reported.

“Lord, the giant evil god statue broke down automatically after the soul fusion released a powerful dark aura…

“The tentacles also turned into liquid.”

Then, Gunter handed him a palm-sized statue.

“We found a small statue of the evil god among the fragments. It seems to contain a huge amount of power.”

Richard reached out to take it and immediately felt the unique coldness of the metal.

He put it in his palm and carefully observed it.

The statue’s surface was pitch-black, and countless tentacles were on its rough face.

It had wings on its back. Its hands were placed on its knees. Its body was curled up, and an evil aura filled the palm-size being.

As expected, it was the same as the giant evil god statue.

After he opened the attribute panel and glanced, his eyes immediately rejoiced.

This thing…was of the highest quality.

[Ancient God Statue (Unbound)]

[Level: Special]

[Characteristics: 1. Soul Enslavement. It can imprison a powerful soul into it, making it listen to the orders of the bound person. The statue has not been destroyed, and the soul can not be killed. After the soul is shattered, it can be reborn in the statue.

2. Flesh Feeding. It can provide a large amount of flesh and soul to increase the power of the imprisoned soul. It can also form a body for it.]

[Description: A unique item forged by an ancient god of the past. It has distinguished special power.]

“Has this statue formed the nine unkillable divine guards of Ankham?

“But the question was, why could the statue form nine unkillable divine guards while could only imprison one soul?”

This was completely unreasonable.

However, if this treasure was nurtured, it would surely have power that was not inferior to the god’s ancient tree.

When Richard thought of the immortal unkillable guards no matter what, his interest immediately soared.

Moreover, unlike the god’s ancient tree, this statue could be carried around with him.

It was a powerful existence that could not die and could even devour flesh and blood to increase its power.

Just thinking about it made him feel invincible.

In the battle just now, he had already fiercely experienced how difficult it was to deal with the enemy.

If it not for his many tricks and being able to trap those divine guards, Twilight City troops would have suffered even more heavy losses.

After the evil god saw the nine divine guards trapped and had completely lost all hope, it wanted to disregard everything and forcefully enslave Richard.

Richard was afraid that it was using the slave soul function of this statue.

But fortunately, he had the kingly talent of Sand Regeneration.

He dragged the opponent, and they died together.

Otherwise, the outcome was ultimately uncertain.

Without hesitation, he used his spiritual power to brand his mark on the treasure.

Successful binding.

In the future, he would need to find a soul with powerful strength to lock up and let it fight for him.

Dragon? Demon? Or other life forms?

Richard rubbed his chin. There were many options. Moreover, they could continuously cultivate this thing. As long as one had potential, one would not be afraid of being weak.

After he put away this top-tier treasure, it seemed that the system had given him a notification at the end.

He opened it and glanced. He did not pay attention to anything else but the most important one —

[Ding~ You have killed an evil god’s will and obtained a drop of divine power. You have obtained 100,000 experience.]

Evil god’s will?

One drop of divine power?

Richard’s breathing became rapid.

“F*ck, is there such a good thing?

“Where was that drop of divine power?”

He hurriedly opened the system space.

Instantly, he sensed that a gray droplet the size of a pinky finger with an endless evil aura floated in the system space.

He didn’t need to think to know what it was.

He willed it.

That droplet of divine power appeared in the air. An evil force that looked like a level-18 storm instantly swept through the surroundings.

The sky seemed to dim like a giant abyssal beast had torn through the plane and was coming.

The soul power of all the surrounding troops trembled crazily.

It was like the evil force could extinguish a flame in the wind at any time.

Richard resisted the pressure in his heart and entered the system space as he felt the terror-stricken impact.

In the next second.

The air returned to silence.

It was as if everything just now was just an illusion.

But his heart still beat wildly.

This short moment almost made him collapse.

It was too petrifying.

‘Was this the power that only gods could have?’

He made up his mind. He would never take it out again when he was not strong enough.

This thing could kill him.
