Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

This was the scene Chamberlain saw when he arrived.

Karina was staring blankly at the broken spear in her hand while Gu Nan casually pulled out the other half of the divine spear from his chest and threw it to the ground.

"Chamberlain is here, so let's get started." Gu Nan looked like he didn't put Karina in his eyes at all.

Karina punched him in annoyance, but Gu Nan didn't even bother dodging, letting her hit his shoulder, and then… and then nothing.

Players can always find the weakness of any NPC, even if it's Karina, the hidden protagonist of the next godly world war.

After all, even the players' Evil God physiques were bound to have development directions depending on the skills players chose before their First Round.

For example, Gu Nan’s focus was on speed and regeneration, so his attack and defense were just average among players.

And Karina was known as the Wrestling Goddess, but in fact, her laws should be related to defense, providing her with amazing resistance against all sorts of laws. Even Gu Nan found it hard to wound her, let alone kill her.

But on the flip side, she was nowhere near Gu Nan's level in either speed or attack power.

With the divine spear that provided most of her attack power damaged, she lost her best means of fighting the enemy.

"Karina, you should not interfere in this matter anymore," Chamberlain obviously also saw this and said with a serious expression.

After all, Karina only had an excuse to attack Gu Nan, but Gu Nan could ignore her attacks.

Of course, she could still hold him back slightly if she kept on pestering him, but then the scene would be too ugly, as if this Valkyrie was just throwing a tantrum.

Perhaps the goddess herself wouldn’t care about her image, but Chamberlain didn’t intend to do that.

He wasn’t a sinister villain and originally only wanted to fight for the name of "Shadow" that should belong to him. He didn’t want to start a blood feud with the three gods.

So Karina resentfully stepped aside, while Gu Nan and the two other gods stepped up on Shadow Cult’s side—because Chamberlain abided by the rules, they decided to not attack him with four people.

"After this battle, there will only be one party using the name of 'Shadow' in this world." Chamberlain slowly unsheathed his longsword from his waist. "If this humble one loses, I will change my name to 'Phantom’."

The Shadow Sword Saint was indeed an open and honest person. He didn’t use his superior strength to repeatedly challenge Shadow Cult over and over again.

He still behaved honorably, even if Sylvia had found Gu Nan—an outside helper—for this duel.

So this time, Sylvia became a little embarrassed and took the initiative to speak, "Actually—"

"You shut up." Gu Nan quickly interrupted, "The Light Faction really is indecisive. If we’re gonna fight, then let’s fight now."

Chamberlain and Sylvia both belonged to the Light Faction, and only they would engage in this kind of humble back-and-forth on a major matter like a fight over faith.

Just look at the Dark Faction’s Sirius and Aiden—one was one of the three great gods of crime and the other was a fallen Shepherd Tree clan member. Did they have an ounce of humility right now?

Both had extremely wicked grins.

Sylvia had a lot to say but was blocked by Gu Nan’s "Shut up," so she could only shoot him a vicious glare.

Chamberlain wasn’t affected at all. The longsword in his hand was already heading straight for the God of Thieves.

The Shadow Sword Saint's tactical intent was very clear. He wanted to first destroy the weakest link called Sirius, then free up his hands to deal with the remaining two.

Fights where the opponents outnumbered you more or less always had two strategies—either destroy the weakest first or the strongest first.

Gu Nan proved that he wasn’t a very easy target to exterminate, so Sirius became the best target.

Sirius and Aiden both reacted extremely fast. In fact, the two of them had a good relationship, having fought together many times before.

Without another word, the tall and handsome God of Thieves suddenly disappeared from the air, while the countless withered branches from the Sage of Deadwood slammed into Chamberlain's sword.

Swordsmanship in the World of Gods was very different from the sword Dao over in the Myriad Heavens.

There was no such thing as sword intent or sword heart here; there was only the ultimate speed!

Chamberlain's longsword was as fast as lightning, leaving streaks of afterimages in the air. As soon as the Deadwood Sage struck, six figures appeared around Aiden.

He created a diversion to strike his true target!

The aged Aiden glared, trying to mobilize the withered branches again, but it was too late. Thus, his entire body quickly swelled up, his skin blackening inch by inch, quickly transforming into deadwood.

This Tier 7 god already brought out his true form in just one exchange. One could see just how much pressure the Shadow Sword Saint gave him.

The six shadowy afterimages that surrounded him were none other than Chamberlain's famous sword art. All six shadows were real, and each one could inflict astonishing damage.

However, just as the six shadows swung their swords, a fist came down from the sky and hit one of them.

The six shadows froze simultaneously, then changed their sword paths in unison and came straight at the Gu Nan who just appeared.

Gu Nan didn’t even look at them, allowing the six swords to pierce his body, while his fist hit the enemy as usual.

Thus, the other five shadows disappeared at the same time, leaving only the one in front of Gu Nan. It was none other than Chamberlain himself, who had blood dripping out of the corner of his mouth.

Not even a Tier 8 god could shrug off a direct hit from Gu Nan’s fist. After all, not everyone was as abnormal as Karina.

"You seem to know me well?" Chamberlain didn’t seem to care about his own injuries, instead staring at Gu Nan strangely.

His Transforming Shadow Sword Technique had been famous for many years, but those who truly knew its essence could be counted on one hand. As far as he knew, Gu Nan was obviously not included in that group.

"Every one of them is real, but there’s always one that’s more real, right?" Gu Nan revealed an odd smile, then exposed the secret behind this sword technique in one sentence.

These were Chamberlain’s exact words, but only after he became the Phantom Sword Saint, so Gu Nan was borrowing them in advance.

On the other hand, the fact that he was able to find Chamberlain’s true body actually had very little to do with his ability to see through reality or illusions—he simply took a chance and bet on luck. In any case, at least one of the six was real, but he didn’t expect to hit the jackpot on the first try.

If the first one wasn’t right, then he would decisively attack the next shadow. As for Aiden's life or death, that was none of his concern.

But Chamberlain didn’t know this. His gaze turned slightly grave. In his eyes, Gu Nan became even more mysterious.

He didn’t want to take another punch, so he decisively gave up the Transforming Shadow Sword Technique, and his body began to change into a shadow, swimming through the cracks in space.

The next instant, the tip of his sword emerged abruptly and directly pierced the heart of Aiden's tree.

The Deadwood Sage had no time to react before he was impaled by the sword, but a ruthless look appeared in his eyes, and his hands violently grabbed the longsword, refusing to let go.

The longsword instantly jerked away, slicing off both of Aiden's hands, but a muffled grunt came from the space next to Aiden as the figures of Sirius and Chamberlain appeared at the same time.

In the tall Sirius’s hands, he was playing with a dagger.
