Chapter 889: The Fuse of the Divine War
No one noticed that some unremarkable special undead began to appear in some places.
These undead were transformed by Fang Jie from local zombies and skeletons, so they seemed inconspicuous, but the virus they carried was a new strain.
After Fang Jie's adjustments, these viruses could directly take effect, enough to replace the previous one.
Because it is a new virus, the life cycle of the virus needs to be recalculated.
But for gods who have no specific divine position related to the plague virus, they simply couldn't tell the difference. This world also lacked scholars specializing in this field, so they naturally understood even less.
In their eyes, gods could solve everything, and if the gods couldn't solve it, then there was no other way.
Silently replacing and adding the virus, Fang Jie continued hiding in the dark, secretly causing trouble.
Instead, the underground on the continent became an ever-expanding cavern. Due to the gods not paying attention to the underground, they had no idea that a massive underground palace had emerged there.
However, there weren't many undead in this underground palace; Fang Jie was merely transforming the underground.
When the time came, he could release the undead directly, spreading out through the underground palace to all places. But for now, if there were too many undead underground, Fang Jie didn't believe those gods wouldn't notice.
Gods are different from other creatures. Ultimately, some things cannot escape their perception.
But if it's just about digging holes and leaving them open. Those gods wouldn't show interest, for, after all, they are just caverns, incapable of arousing their vigilance and attention.
In such a situation, the plague on the surface grew increasingly severe.
And the Evil Desire God had to shoulder the responsibility of finding a solution to the plague, so he resorted to capturing undead everywhere, trying to find a method through them or research something.
However, this approach was entirely useless, as the Evil Desire God controlled human desires, not anything else.
The virus, after all, had no emotions and couldn't possibly be controlled by the Evil Desire God.
On this day, the Evil Desire God returned to the Undead Island and felt irritated upon seeing the burning flames. That God of Blazing Flames was truly idle, why did he have to burn this place?
If not for this, he might have found a solution.
Now, unable to solve this issue, it's not only a matter for the other gods, even his own believers were about to face problems.
Evil gods relied on various benefits and threats to control their believers, and now the collapse was accelerating. If this continued, it wouldn't take long before his faith would completely collapse.
And once that happens, he would truly be doomed.
The Evil Desire God had already begun to gather some believers, aiming to relocate and nurture them in a new place.
As long as the faith didn't collapse, there would still be a chance to make a comeback. In fact, all gods were now doing this because they didn't know when or if this plague could be resolved.
But what the Evil Desire God didn't expect was that just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura.
The water below suddenly swirled, forming a massive vortex. Then, high-pressure water shot upward, and this was no ordinary water, but water carrying the Water Element Law.
"Damn, it's the Water God." A red light flashed in the Evil Desire God's eyes.
The snakes on his body suddenly extended, spewing a fog downward to form a shield.
However, while he could block below, he couldn't guard above. A ball of flame condensed out of nowhere in the sky, crashing down like a meteor. In haste, the Evil Desire God couldn't avoid it and had to forcibly withstand it.
But the impact of the flames was too strong, instantly slamming the Evil Desire God into the water currents.
Both forces attacked him simultaneously, putting the Evil Desire God in a dire situation.
At that moment, a flash of lightning burst forth, knocking the Evil Desire God out of the water and flames. But this wasn't a rescue; rather, the injuries he sustained became even graver.
Appearing outside, the Evil Desire God was bleeding from the mouth, looking utterly disheveled.
With just a single move, the Evil Desire God was already seriously injured.
"Skyfire God, God of Fierce Thunder, well, you two actually dare to ambush me. Aren't you afraid of triggering a divine war? Others won't just stand by watching you run wild."
"Hmph, we at least have to avenge the God of Blazing Flames. We haven't even settled the score for what you did to him."
"Who plotted against the God of Blazing Flames? I don't even know what happened. I get it, you must have found him disagreeable and took him out yourselves, so now you want to frame me."
"Nonsense, stop talking nonsense with him. We're too close to the border here, and other evil gods might come over later."
The God of Fierce Thunder said to the others, and then the three gods simultaneously launched an attack.
Although the Evil Desire God had decent strength, facing three elemental gods at once was beyond him. Coupled with the initial ambush that left him injured, it wasn't long before the injuries on the Evil Desire God's body worsened.
The Evil Desire God's eyes turned blood-red as he looked around, suddenly gritting his teeth, and then the snakes on his body shot outward.
These snakes exploded one by one, forming a blood mist that coalesced into blood-colored arrows, shooting out in all directions. Each arrow carried terrifyingly corrosive power, causing the three gods to not dare ignore them.
They each used their means to block the incoming arrows.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Evil Desire God turned into a blood-red cloud, disappearing in a flash, fleeing swiftly.
"Not good, he got away." The others realized, not expecting the Evil Desire God to escape even with a simultaneous ambush from three people. These damn evil gods really had exceptional escape abilities.
"What now? The mission failed, and those evil gods might now be on guard."
"Let's go back and rethink our strategy. Although we failed, we at least reduced the combat power on the side of the evil gods."
That's true; the severely injured Evil Desire God couldn't exert much power. The key point is, until he recovers, it's unlikely that he would dare come out, as evil gods aren't as united as elemental gods.
There were conflicts among evil gods too, and they could also devour each other.
Being gods of emotions, devouring others could expand and enhance their divine power and position range.
If others found out about the Evil Desire God's serious injuries, they definitely wouldn't help him; instead, they'd look to kill him first. So, for a while, the Evil Desire God wouldn't appear.
