Kill the Demon God for the first time

Jiang Han squinted slightly, gazing at Angus, who tried to conceal his greedy eyes, "Do you also desire the ranking rewards?"

"Seeing you forcefully repel the ninth Demon God with a single punch, I, Angus, am truly impressed. Naturally, I wish to exchange pointers," he grinned, his gaze flickering, "If you're unwilling, then forget it."

Not foolish, Angus immediately understood, after the initial shock, that this was a prearranged agreement between the other party and the Demon Gods. The purpose was to seize the rewards given by the rules when ascending in rankings.

The skill book with a rainbow-colored cover held a profound meaning. How could he not know? How could he not be tempted?

However, as the other party was in collusion with the Demon Gods, he dared not be too presumptuous.

"Do you truly wish to exchange pointers?" Jiang Han asked with a profound tone, seeking confirmation.

"Absolutely!" Angus solemnly affirmed, "I hope you will be considerate."

"Very well." Jiang Han nodded, "I accept."

"Ding!~" System prompt: You agree to accept the challenge from Wrath of the Earth, Angus!

Agreed?

I can also obtain rewards for the top ten Demon Gods!

Angus, elated, brandished a chillingly gleaming battle-axe and charged towards Jiang Han, "Here I come."

Jiang Han, expressionless, raised his sword to block the onslaught of the axe.

"Clang~" Sparks flew.

Amidst the clashing of weapons, Jiang Han retreated towards the rear, calmly stating, "Impressive strength, I concede."

He wasn't inclined to be kind to inconsequential opponents. Accepting the challenge wasn't an act of generosity; it was a strategic move.

Indeed, the ranking rewards were precious, and the system indicated they were bound. However, the challenge from Angus provided a crucial reminder.

The ranking rewards might be lost, but the first kill reward might still be obtainable!

"Ding!~" System prompt: Due to your surrender, you have lost the title of one of the Ten Demon Gods, current ranking: 10000!

"...?" Angus was momentarily stunned, then trembled with excitement. Judging by his appearance, he too received an SSS-grade reward from the system.

"Swoosh!" Suddenly, the surroundings distorted, and the empty Town God Tower vanished, replaced by a sea of flames, engulfing everyone.

"!!!!!" The red flames swept in all directions, leaving Angus bewildered and unsure.

Raelph and Attikas exchanged glances, both discerning surprise in each other's eyes.

"Is this the skill rewarded by the rules?" Attikas licked his lips, sounding somewhat envious.

"Ding!~" System prompt: You used the skill [Myriad Manifestations], randomly creating an illusion: Flame Sea. All attributes of enemy units within a 200*200 range reduced by 20%, movement speed decreased by 20%, self-attributes increased by 30%, friendly units' attributes increased by 0.01%, lasting ten minutes!

Is this Myriad Manifestations?

Jiang Han, reflecting the flame sea in his eyes, understood.

Before facing the Crown Prince, he believed some skills needed to be tested to precisely understand their effects.

"Hmph!" Angus, sensing Jiang Han's intentions, retorted coldly, "Without the assistance of a Demon God, you might not be my match!"

"Come." Jiang Han smiled faintly.

"Roar!" The Thunder Tiger beneath him emitted a deafening roar, transforming into a crimson light that flowed into Jiang Han's body. Following that, Jiang Han's strength soared, his aura becoming more domineering.

"Ding!~" System prompt: You used the skill [Unity of Man and Mount], temporarily merging with the mount, all attributes increased by 50%, additional 80% movement speed, lasting two hours!

"Now, this is the skill rewarded by the rules!" Raelph corrected, looking strangely amused. "Strange, did this lad snatch away all the treasures in the world?"

War Trample!

Jiang Han's robe danced wildly, his movements as swift as the wind. Free from the constraints of a mount, coupled with a substantial increase in all aspects, his speed reached unprecedented levels.

"Boom!" The entire Town God Tower trembled as Angus felt suppressed within the sea of flames, severely restricted.

"Ding!~" System prompt: You used the skill [War Trample], dealing 12,654,450 damage to Wrath of the Earth, Angus, suppressing for 2.5 seconds, and increasing your own attack by 20%, reducing the attack of all enemy units in a 100*100 range by 10%, lasting one minute!

Attributes in separate multiplication zones, exceptionally rare. With the addition of Unity of Man and Mount stacking with Myriad Manifestations, a total attribute increase of 80%, combined with the back-and-forth dynamics, the previous challenging situation of breaking through defense instantly vanished.

-5,687,130!

-1,468,160!

-17,945,900!

...

During the suppression, Jiang Han seamlessly intertwined his skills with normal attacks, causing Angus's health to plummet rapidly. Especially the final strike, the defense-ignoring Soulbreaking Sword, dealt a more brutal damage number than War Trample.

"Die!" Despite the continuous pain, Angus, disregarding the presence of Demon Gods, his eyes turned red. Just as he was about to climb up from the ground, a red hand restrained him, rendering him immobile once again.

Jiang Han's gaze remained indifferent as he wielded his sword relentlessly, creating visible wounds with each stroke. Until the control ended, Angus's health had dropped to nearly 25%.

"Groan!" Attikas exclaimed, "Pressuring a Celestial-tier? This lad has no mercy!"

A single strike from Jiang Han showcased terrifying lethality in his eyes.

Earth-tier overpowering Celestial-tier!

Even with significantly inferior basic attributes, the actual combat displayed utter disregard for reason!

"You won't kill me, dream on!" Angus's muscles swelled, clearly defined, and a tan-colored energy flowed on the surface of his body, making his skin even tougher. Subsequently, a set of tan-colored energy-formed armor appeared on the surface of his body.

"Ding!~" System prompt: Wrath of the Earth, Angus, used the skill [Angry Rocks], defense increased by 50%, damage reduction by 20%, lasting one minute!

"Ding!~" System prompt: Wrath of the Earth, Angus, used the skill [Fearless Armor], defense increased by 80%, damage reduction by 30%, lasting two minutes!

"Die!" Angus swung his large axe towards Jiang Han.

-14,049,70!

With various buffs stacked, Jiang Han's health approached one billion, and his defense exceeded a hundred and thirty thousand. Faced with Angus's attack, he neither dodged nor defended, exchanging blows with the opponent forcefully.

60%!

30%!

Despite Angus's defensive skills, they couldn't contain the rapid decline in his health.

As his health plummeted to the bottom, barely hanging on, fear welled up in his eyes, and he cried out, "Spare me, I surrender!"

...

Jiang Han remained silent, sword rising and falling, leaving behind patches of blood.

Earlier, Angus had already conceded, and at present, he had

 not initiated a challenge. The title of Demon God remained with Angus, unaffected by his surrender.

"I confirmed with you if you wanted to initiate a challenge." Jiang Han remained indifferent, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Was his ranking reward merely a handout?

If not for agreeing to Raelph's request, Attikas wouldn't have been so generous, specially offering him an opportunity!

"Swoosh!" The destructive sword energy pierced through Angus's flesh, shattered the illusion of the sea of flames, and blasted into the wall of the Town God Tower.

-20,503,115!

Without a critical hit, the damage still exploded, swiftly stripping away Angus's remaining life.

Angus's eyes were filled with resentment, glaring at Jiang Han.

He never expected that after obtaining an SSS-grade reward, it would end like this, without even putting it to use.

"Don't stare at me like that. Everyone harbors a sense of justice to exterminate demons. I am no exception," Jiang Han remained unmoved, a cold smile on his lips.

As a young man with righteous education, he wouldn't compromise with Demon Gods. Today, he was determined to emulate a certain silver-haired man and fight for justice!

As for rewards for killing Demon Gods, a true righteous person wouldn't be concerned; those were just incidental and not worth mentioning.
