CHAPTER 908: Skynet

If Han Shuo did not have absolute confidence, he would not have taken the demon infant out of the safety of his physical body and used it to resist Yarus' black hole. After all, the demon infant and the consciousness were the basis of his existence. If anything bad happened to those two things, Han Shuo would be in deep shit.

His consciousness and the demon generals that had been scattered around suddenly converged and reassembled. He then grabbed Wallace before he could destroy his physical body and squeezed him to death.

Han Shuo then quickly inhaled with his mouth and sucked Wallace's divine soul into his stomach. He will store Wallace there until he is done wreaking havoc here and let the Cauldron of the Myriad Demon transform his soul into one of his demon generals.

All this happened in a matter of seconds. Before Yarus, Darkwater, Darkstone and the others could react, Han Shuo had taken Wallace's life.

"How is that possible?!" Yarus had never shown any sign of panic until now. According to his understanding of the divine soul, a person would be absolutely dead once their soul was shredded. It should have been impossible for a soul to recover.

But Yarus did not know that Han Shuo was cultivating demonic arts that originated from another universe, making Han Shuo's soul anything but ordinary. Han Shuo's consciousness could split into hundreds and thousands of strands and still be fine. It was expected that the gods of Elysium wouldn't understand the miracle of Han Shuo's otherworldly consciousness.

"Haha! All your barriers are gone. How are you going to stop me now?" Han Shuo howled with laughter before kicking the ground with his massive foot to lift himself up. The Broadhurst Residence shook again.

Following his thought, the seventeen flying swords flew out of his physical body and went after Hofs, Ralph and Larikson. Meanwhile, the massive Han Shuo, made up of the demon infant and the demon generals, let out a deafening roar as he ran wildly towards Yarus.

His massive footsteps had caused many of the buildings in and around the Broadhurst Residence to collapse. More gods spat blood and died at the sound of his destructive roar.

Yarus was greatly alarmed. Seeing that the massive Han Shuo was coming for him, he hastily gathered the energy of darkness. The clear sky above the Broadhurst Residence was quickly enveloped in an intense aura of darkness before it descended upon Han Shuo.

"Oh come on, the same trick again? Is that all you've got?" Han Shuo raised his head and roared at the sky. His deafening voice, carrying a bizarre power, spread out in pulses. The sound waves stopped the accumulation of dark energy and violently dispelled the darkness aura, allowing the sunlight to pierce through the sky and fall on the Broadhurst Residence.

"Aarrgghhh..." a pitiful scream suddenly sounded. Three flying swords had pierced Ralph's torso.

Ralph only possessed Mid-stage Highgod strength. He was no match for Han Shuo before Han Shuo left the Darkness Dominion. And now that Han Shuo had entered the Skybreak Realm, he stood even less of a chance. As one of the weakest of the group, it should come as no surprise that he would be the first to go.

After Ralph's death, the seventeen flying swords intertwined to form a massive, deadly web. Hofs, Larikson, Darkwater and Darkstone were trapped in the net, where the icy aura and corrosive power were activated to the full. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to break free.

When 'Skynet', a form of the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation, was deployed, it immediately sent Hofs and the others into a pit of despair. The Skynet would slowly shrink, and those trapped within would find their moving space diminishing.

The seventeen interlocking flying swords flew faster and faster as the trapped were forced into smaller and smaller spaces. When the channelling was complete, the flying swords would converge into a point and all those trapped in the Skynet would be destroyed in body and soul.

"Aarrgghh... Aarrgghh..." Two screams came in quick succession. They came from the mouths of Hofs and Larikson.

"Darkwater, Darkstone, how could you!" cried the pale looking Hofs as he defended himself from Darkwater and Darkstone. They were squeezed into the space of an average space.

"Sorry guys, but there just isn't enough room for all four of us," Darkwater and Darkstone replied in unison, their voices chilling as they attacked Hofs and Larikson.

With each cycle that the seventeen flying swords complete, the Skynet will shrink by a certain amount. Eventually, the Skynet will shrink to the point where there won't be enough room for four people.

In order to survive a little longer, Darkwater and Darkstone launched a sneak attack on Larikson and Hofs. Hofs and Larikson were on the back foot, having suffered from the twins' sneak attacks and being weaker than the twins to begin with. It seemed that they would soon be defeated.

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting!" Han Shuo, who was fighting back Yarus, laughed out loud. He had not expected them to kill each other in such a situation.

"Darkwater, Darkstone, don't you dare! Or I will kill you!" yelled Yarus when he saw that Larikson was badly injured and close to death.

"Don't even start, Yarus. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in this situation!" sneered Darkwater. He then mercilessly impaled Larikson's head with a dark axe.

Meanwhile, his twin, Darkstone, threw a punch at the badly injured Hofs and sent him into Han Shuo's Skynet. As soon as Hofs made contact with the net, his body immediately began to melt, emitting thick smoke.

"Brother!!!" Yarus was furious. An intense energy of darkness overflowed from his body and enveloped him. He unleashed his domain of divinity and every dark element in the Broadhurst residence flowed into him.

It seemed that Yarus had lost his reason after his brother's death. He no longer hid his Overgod aura, unleashing all of his energy and charging wildly at Han Shuo.

Han Shuo was surprised that Yarus would go all out. He had not expected Yarus to be so close to Larikson. As he watched Yarus charging at him, a thought struck Han Shuo and he suddenly stepped aside.

As Han Shuo had suspected, Yarus did not follow him, but shot past him and continued on his way towards Darkwater and Darkstone, who were still trapped in the Skynet.

Han Shuo smiled mischievously. With a thought, the Skynet dissolved and the seventeen flying swords returned to his physical body. Han Shuo wanted to grab his popcorn, watch Yarus fight Darkwater and Darkstone and then sneak up and kill them all when he saw the opportunity.

But suddenly, the Element of Darkness in the environment began to behave abnormally.

In an instant, the Dark Element in the Broadhurst Residence that had just been drained by Yarus was replenished by more than a hundred, if not a thousand times. The elements of darkness were rapidly converging on the empty sky, and a consciousness that enveloped the entire City of Gorging Clouds was gradually forming.

Han Shuo's face shook and he immediately stopped attacking Yarus, Darkwater and Darkstone. The immaterial Han Shuo transformed into a twisted ghostly shadow and immediately slid into his main body, which was sitting motionlessly cross-legged.

At the same time, the dark elements of Yarus, Darkwater and Darkstone abruptly vanished. Even their divine energies were completely subdued. Their world-shattering battle suddenly turned into a ridiculous scuffle.

Without the Dark Element and Divine Energy, the three City Lords were no stronger than a puny Basegod. Their comical kicks and punches landed on their opponents, but did no damage.

The three soon realised what was happening and their faces fell. Simultaneously, they stopped fighting and looked up to the sky.

Boundless darkness had enveloped the entire city, as if the light had vanished forever. There was an immense, suffocating pressure in the atmosphere. Every citizen of the City of Gorging Clouds could not help but automatically kowtow, including Yarus, Darkwater and Darkstone.

After the consciousness and demon infant returned to his physical body, Han Shuo immediately stood up. As he felt the darkness that had suddenly enveloped the City of Devouring Clouds, Han Shuo's face shook. He realised that this existence that had caused the change in the environment was at least a hundred times more powerful than overgods like Wasir or Salas. Han Shuo knew that he had absolutely no chance against an existence of this level.

Without thinking, Han Shuo activated the Demonic Blood Disassembly. A bloody aura flashed and Han Shuo was gone from the city.

Hofs and Wallace, two of the City Lords of the Darkness Dominion, must have the Divine Brands of the Overlord of Darkness in their Divine Souls. The Overlord of Darkness must have been alerted of their deaths by these Divine Brands and descended upon the City of Gorging Clouds.

Overgods with the quintessence were the source of energy. They could create and destroy energy and had a complete understanding of their element or edictal force. An Overgod with a Quintessence was simply incomparable to one without.

In the infinite universe, there would always and forever be one holder of the Quintessence of Darkness. Knowing that he was no match for such an entity, Han Shuo immediately decided to activate the Demonic Blood Disassembly. He would hurt himself just to get far away from the city quickly.
