Chapter 299: Chapter 40: Abyssal Divine Chosen Kill Reward! A Divine Gift Skill! Resurrection Technique

’Aren’t the Abyssal Faction and the Evil God’s Influence supposed to be on the same side?’

’If they’re allies with shared interests, why did Nesia lure the Flame Emperor Galukasa out of the Imperial Royal City? Why couldn’t she even recognize his identity as an Abyssal Believer?’

’If they aren’t allies, then what’s the relationship between the God of the Abyss and the Void Evil God?’

’Adversaries?’

’Neutral?’

At this moment, countless questions surged in Qin Feng’s mind, and a profound sense of unease washed over him.

He had the nagging feeling that he was being drawn, step by step, into an invisible vortex.

The auras of the Void Evil God and the Abyssal Demon God had a strange, shared quality, as if from the same source. Yet a closer look at the details revealed they were clearly not of the same faction. Instead, they seemed more like independent powers with their own agendas, each fighting for itself.

What puzzled him even more was that in all their past conversations, neither MC nor figures like Hungry Wolf from the Art Alliance had ever uttered a single word about the "Abyss" or "Demon Gods."

These two concepts felt as if they had materialized out of thin air, bursting onto the battlefield without any prior clues or setup.

’Forget it.’

’I’ll deal with it later.’

’I’ll deal with whatever comes my way. If push comes to shove, I’ll just crush them.’

His mind made up, Qin Feng wasted no more time. He violently drew the Champion’s Axe from his waist, its blade glinting coldly in the sunlight.

Pushing off, he shot forward, charging straight at the Flame Emperor Galukasa. He raised his arm, the sharp axe blade whistling through the air as he swung it mercilessly toward his opponent’s neck.

After all, the Flame Emperor had thrown in his lot with the Abyssal Faction, becoming an Abyssal Believer. His actions were no different from those of the fanatical Evil God Believers—all of them scourges upon the land.

Therefore, Qin Feng never considered sparing his life, much less recruiting someone who aided evil into his ranks.

Killing the Flame Emperor Galukasa outright was the optimal solution.

Seeing Qin Feng’s frontal assault, the Flame Emperor Galukasa didn’t dare let his guard down. He immediately brought his imperial shield up to block, his other hand gripping his imperial spear as he prepared to receive the blow head-on.

But he had ultimately underestimated Qin Feng’s attack power. With a deafening CLANG, the axe blade slammed into the shield. The shield’s Durability instantly plummeted, and cracks spiderwebbed across its face.

What caught him completely by surprise was that the force of the blow wasn’t fully absorbed. The axe handle followed through, slamming viciously into his unarmored side.

A searing pain shot through him as his health bar dropped by nearly a fifth. The Flame Emperor Galukasa’s pupils constricted, and he opened his mouth, his voice a mixture of shock and fury.

"You..."

Giving the Flame Emperor Galukasa no time to react, Qin Feng pressed his advantage and launched a ferocious onslaught.

The Champion’s Axe struck with immense force, hammering against the Emperor’s armor and shield again and again. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! The sound of the impacts was endless, and the Durability of the imperial gear plummeted under the barrage.

Seeing the shock and fury on his opponent’s face, Qin Feng retorted coldly,

"’You...’ what? Can’t handle this? And you still ran off to be a lapdog for the God of the Abyss? To make an enemy of all humankind?"

At these words, the Flame Emperor Galukasa clenched his jaw, rendered speechless. Only the seething rage in his chest remained.

"..."

’Damn it!’

’If my bonded Ancient Giant Dragon hadn’t been eaten by Jinli!’

’With the immense power of a True Dragon Knight, what would a brat like you amount to? I would’ve run you through with a single spear thrust!’

’How dare you act so arrogantly before me, the Flame Emperor Galukasa!’

But no amount of resentment would change anything.

It was too late for regrets.

The Flame Emperor Galukasa had thought the Evil Dragon Jinli was incomparably powerful, yet it couldn’t even withstand a few volleys of Arrow Rain before being annihilated in an instant.

He looked around. As far as the eye could see, enemies watched him like predators. He was already trapped in a hopeless situation, without the slightest chance of breaking out.

At this point, the Flame Emperor Galukasa knew that struggling was futile. The only thing he could do was consider how to die with some semblance of dignity. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After all, the Flame Emperor Galukasa had once been the exalted emperor of the Gulad Empire. Even though he had later personally abandoned his nation and its people, the "nobility" etched into his very bones would not allow him to die in disgrace.

And so, the Champion’s Axe in Qin Feng’s hands became a blur. His attacks were a relentless storm, each strike aimed at a vital point.

The Flame Emperor Galukasa, already in retreat, was now completely powerless to parry. Finally, Qin Feng found an- opening and slashed his axe across the man’s neck.

With a spray of blood, the former emperor of Gulad fell dead upon the Great Wall.

Huh?

’The Destiny Hero’s "The Chosen One" and "Celestial Destiny Team" can actually be plundered by my "Hero Enhancement" Talent?’

’This is absurd!’

’I thought this kind of Talent, like a Blessing of the Evil God, would be a special type that was impossible to plunder!’

’I never thought there’d be an exception!’

As he was reeling from the shock, the sound of beating wings came from overhead. Kuge landed his Royal Winged Dragon beside Qin Feng, bowed his head respectfully, and reported,

"Your Majesty."

"All remaining enemies have been annihilated."

"None escaped."

The moment he finished speaking, a familiar system notification popped up, confirming Kuge’s report.

[Battle Over!]

[Your Life Value has been permanently increased due to "Bloodthirsty"!]

[Some of your Attribute Values have been permanently increased due to "Bloodthirsty"!]

[In this battle, all opponents were devout Abyssal Fanatics. You were unable to capture any enemies!]

[By slaying an Abyssal Divine Chosen and sacrificing the soul of an evil Divine Chosen, you have received the favor of the King of War. You have obtained Divine Chosen Spoils from the enemy’s corpse... Dragon Crystal x200, several Healing Potions, several purple weapons, several pieces of purple armor, various Magic Materials, and various Manufacturing Materials.]

[You are being watched by the King of War.]

[You have been granted a choice of a Power of Authority.]

[1. Power of Authority (Resurrection): Consume 20% of your current Maximum Life Value to resurrect one creature.]

[2. Power of Authority (Permanent Bleeding): Your physical attacks apply a stack of Permanent Bleeding to enemies. Stacks are limitless and cannot be removed by ordinary Dispel Skills. Only a Divine Gift Talent or skill that is also a Power of Authority can remove the stacks of Permanent Bleeding.]

[3. Power of Authority (Permanent Life Recovery Effect): Grants you a permanent, passive Healing effect. It cannot be countered by ordinary Forbidden Healing skills or Healing Reduction Effects. Only a Divine Gift Talent or skill that is also a Power of Authority can counter this recovery effect.]

’This?’

’Is this even a choice?’

’Of course I’m taking the most powerful one, the resurrection ability!’

’I already have "Plague Power" to substitute for Permanent Bleeding and "Evil Aura" to substitute for permanent Healing. I don’t have a critical need for the other two at all!’
