Chapter 734: Tribulation and a Little Boy

A vortex of darkness appeared at the top of the hill, and various jet-black lightning bolts struck the ground a moment after. It was as if the sky was telling the world that something concreted the natural law was going on there.

"A mortal entity with a heavenly tribulation. He can actually recreate his new divine body in just a few days?" Rhea widened her eyes as nature told her something through her divine law.

"Hm, looks like what he found in the underworld of the other world really helped him complete this ritual. But, will it end like his wish? I wonder." Elena rested her cheek against her hand.

*Boom!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*

The black thunderbolts multiplied and continued to strike the hilltop. The ground cracked like glass, the rocks crumbled to dust, and the plants crumbled to ashes. The hundreds of black lightning bolts were merciless and shattered the hill of darkness.

Elysia swung her arms to give Elena's protective barrier some soundproofing effect. Her ears hurt just because of the sound of the thunder.

"Wow, this hill will cease to exist in the next few minutes. Those black lightning bolts also look cool…" Sylvia was amazed by the charm of the black lightning. She got an idea for new magic.

"Hee-hee, ha ha ha! I'm back with my new divine body! With this, I will finish our epic battle, Ruvoid God! I will destroy you to your smallest existence. I will make sure you cease to exist!" The sinister laugh echoed through the sky and earth. A creature clad in thick dark energy came out from within the cave.

He then looked at the foot of the hill with his fiery red eyes. To be more precise, to a group under the protection of a golden barrier.

"Heehee, they're really waiting to see my glorious return? Very well, that's obvious because I'm just fabulous. I shall ask them to send me to earth to wipe that damned Ruvoid God from existence. Then, I can eliminate the other two on that moon." Xero looked up at the moon beyond the atmosphere. Unfortunately, it was still day, and the moon could not be seen.

He just shrugged his shoulders and headed towards the group near the foot of the hill. However, his intention to fly failed because his flight ability was unavailable for use at the current moment.

"Well, I guess my new divine body isn't stable yet. My body and things need adaptation to my divine soul and spirit." Xero scratched his head and sighed. He walked down the crumbled hill of darkness and passed the fierce storm and black lightning like a stroll in the courtyard.

"Hmm?" Elysia and Elena were both aware of a red-eyed dwarf shadow approaching from the shadows of darkness.

Everyone was too absorbed in watching the phenomenon at the top of the hill and didn't notice something approaching.

"Why doesn't this tribulation stop? It's too long for a mortal body's ascension to the divine level... Is it possible he failed?" Rhea asked in wonder. She activated her magic vision to the cave at the top of the hill.

"Eh, wait... I seem to see something, err... A shadow is approaching?" Nell gently rubbed her eyes and looked again at the approaching shadow to make sure what she saw was real or not. Elysia's barrier and this storm of darkness dulled her sensing abilities. Therefore, she was not so sure.

Hearing those words, everyone looked around them. However, it took a few moments before they could notice the approaching figure in question. Their sensing abilities were dulled by various factors, and it was uncomfortable.

Sylvia and the girls exchanged ideas until the shadowy figure arrived near them. However, the black lightning also approached, and several lightning bolts struck their barrier.

"Who is this brat? Is he lost? Why did he come and bring these thunderbolts to us?" Regulus growled.

"I think he is the cause of this storm of darkness. Is he the Heretic God we met in that cave a while ago?" Oceanid examined the shadow of the little red-eyed boy from top to bottom several times. His inner mind said it was the same Xerroth, but so many things had changed.

"Or, he might be the lost spirit of darkness?" Sylvia also guessed.

'Well, didn't his stats weaken a lot? And again, he still needs another stage of recovery.' Elena commented with an amused tone. She was sure this little boy was grumbling with nonsense, but no one could hear him because this barrier blocked any sound.

"No, he is the same Heretic God, but he is still clad in dark energy for some personal reason." Elysia denied Sylvia's guess, then she spoke telepathically to Xero. 'Xero, can you take off your cloak of darkness first? This storm and tribulation will not stop because nature still thinks you are in your ascension stage.'

'My new body will turn to dust if this black lightning strikes me for the tenth time, naive girl. This stupid tribulation is really troublesome. Ask your master to do something for me.' Xero looked up at the dark sky and narrowed his eyes. He understood his current situation very well.

'Good, you can take off your cloak of darkness now. We will protect you from that black lightning strike.' Elysia looked at Elena. Her request was conveyed without her asking for it because their mind was linked.

'Fine, I'll believe you.' Xero thought for a moment and decided to put his trust in this innocent human girl.

The moment he removed the blanket of darkness from within him, unknown energy suddenly pulled him into the golden dome barrier.

*Boom!* *Rumble*

The last black lightning bolt struck the barrier, but it had no significant effect since the damage was quickly neutralized.

The storm gradually subsided, and the black lightning stopped causing destruction. The clear blue sky returned from the horizon, and the sun's warm rays shone upon the land.

"Phew... Who would have thought the sky was jealous of my return." Xero wiped his sweat and sighed.

"Pfft, what happened to you? Instead of the intimidating God of Darkness, you became a little white-face boy instead?" Regulus couldn't contain his laughter. He burst out laughing without holding back anything.

"Hmm?" Xero only realized this strange thing when he released his dark energy blanket. He examined his tiny hands with his eyes wide open. "What fricking result is this!?"

He then looked around. Those men seemed so tall and big. He needed to look up to see their faces. The thing that bothered him the most was those big-breasted girls. Those melons seemed to leave shadows on him, and he felt so small, especially when he looked at the Goddess of Light... Her whole charm alone made him intimidated for various reasons.

He used to look down upon everyone since he was tall, but he currently had to do the opposite!?

"Where are you looking? My face is up here, isn't it?" Elena folded her arms under her breast and pointed at her face with her finger.

"Well... Somehow, the result has slightly missed my expectations. My entire God-tier resources are only capable of reshaping a divine-class child body. Will it take me a few years for my new body to reach its peak capabilities? I can't wait that long, right? Wait, this is just a vessel. I'm still as strong as I used to be, just losing some traits." Xero looked down and checked his new body once again.

His skin was fair and tender like a newborn baby, but no significant muscles there. He indeed looked like a snotty little brat!? His divine body that he cultivated for so long since his death a hundred thousand years ago was gone, and now this was what he got? In the last thousand years, all his efforts ended in vain, with nothing left?

Xero held his forehead because it was difficult for him to accept that bitter truth. However, the annoying laughter of a big red lion really made him irritated and angry.

"Hahaha, it missed your expectations? You often miss the target because you always do everything yourself as if you are so omnipotent. Look at you now, so fragile. I heard you want to abolish the so-called Ruvoid God. How can you fight that God if you are like this? Ha ha ha, runny kid!" Regulus couldn't stop mocking the most annoying and arrogant God in the history of his existence.

"Can't you just shut up, fat lion!? I may look like a kid, but I'm still a God-class being!" Xero kicked the big red lion's leg in annoyance.

"Oops, too bad. I wasn't careless enough to take that sudden attack. Hey, are you lost, little boy? Where's your mama? Do you need to drink milk to grow up fast? Gahaha, you won't be able to touch me. You'll just be trampled to death in front of that Ruvoid God!" Regulus continued to dodge Xero's attacks while sneering with a hint of fact.

"I will beat you to a pulp!" Xero roared in rage.

"..." The girls wanted to say something, but they decided not to talk about it now.

A new troublemaker came into the group. With the three troublesome Gods, perhaps the world would be shaken just because they would often quarrel over trivial matters.

*Bam!*

Oceanid just stood on the side, watching with great interest. However, a stray strike suddenly hit him.

"I didn't do anything, and you attacked me? Are you trying to test your new divine body's abilities!?" Oceanid joined the chaos and retaliated by hitting Regulus and Xero.

A heated fight between three Gods ensued, and everyone immediately took their distance.

'Now our business here is over. Shall we return to the Human Continent now?' Elena opened a private conversation with Elysia and Rhea.

'Mm, let's go back.' Elysia agreed without any objections. She couldn't wait for her exclusive training.

'En, I have a plan for the three of them. For now, let's just leave the boys with their wrestling game. It's time for me to keep my promise to you, Master Elysia.' Rhea was so enthusiastic about Elysia's training. She could make several events to get closer to her host master justifiably.

With that being said, Elena gave a cue to everyone, including Dylan. After that, Elysia and the others left the vicinity without looking back. They then disappeared without any prior notice, leaving only Dylan and the three Gods. It was an instant return trip with Elysia's teleportation.

"I don't know what to say. The Goddesses look way more convincing and reliable than the Gods. Did I misjudge them?" Dylan frowned and went back to watching the fight between the three Gods. It looked like a mock battle, but they looked like 'just boys being boys' rather than aloof Gods.
