Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Eternal Clan, Battle with The Overseers
John looked at Ice Talker with concern and asked, "Do you think this ShadowLord God will destroy my city?"
He had the Heaven laws protecting him and wasn't afraid of the ShadowLord God, but the newly established Purple Sky City would not be able to withstand an attack from the ShadowLord God.
"It won't happen," Ice Talker replied, her eyes still fixed on the sky. "The Game of the Gods has begun. Even a Lord God can't intervene directly and change the rules of the game."
"Is that so?" John relaxed upon hearing her explanation, standing proudly atop the city walls. He glanced at the vast figure in the sky, silently raising his middle finger.
"Human!" The Shadowlord God, Wrath of the Gods, roared, thunder crashing through the sky, as boundless flames soared.
He struggled to contain his fury, coldly asking, "Where are Eclipse and the others?"
"Eclipse?" John paused, then realized they were the lords of the main cities. He nonchalantly responded, "I killed them."
"What?" The ShadowLord God's eyes widened in shock. His face contorted with rage as he screamed, "Why haven't you made your move yet?!"
In the distance, figures rapidly descended from the desolate mountain range. A total of twelve figures appeared, all Overseers.
They looked up at the massive figure in the sky and bowed respectfully. "We pay our respects to the ShadowLord God."
"Stop wasting time!" The ShadowLord God impatiently interrupted them, his voice cold. "Destroy Purple Sky City, kill the Godslayer and Ice Talker. Each of you will be rewarded with a planet!"
Having completely turned against the Nature Clan, he no longer feared offending the Nature Lord God and felt no need to show them any respect.
"Really?" The Overseers' expressions lit up with excitement, their breaths becoming quick and heavy as their eyes locked onto John, greedily swallowing.
However, despite their eagerness, they still respected the power of the Nature Clan and were hesitant to make a move against the ShadowLord God.
But John was different. A fallen member of The Immortals, without any significant backing or influence.
"Go!" One of them took the lead and launched an attack, with the others following suit. Aside from Centeror and two others, everyone targeted John.
The immense power of the laws surged, each Overseer controlling their respective World-in-Hand laws.
John felt a significant amount of pressure, as there were still two three-star Overseers among them.
"Godslayer, be careful of the people from the Eternal Clan. They can ignore the World-in-Hand laws," Ice Talker warned John, before charging toward Centeror.
Last time, it was Centeror and his group who had destroyed her Nature City.
"Eternal Clan?" John looked around at the people quickly surrounding him, asking, "Which one of you is from the Eternal Clan?"
The laws they wielded were all different, and he didn't recognize any of them, making it impossible to tell who was who.
"Kid, the Eternal Clan, Humdwar!" One of them roared, charging directly toward John.
John sized him up. The man's skin was orange, with wings sprouting from his back and a single horn growing from his forehead—he looked somewhat like the demons from legend.
"Hmph, I'll see what you're capable of." John wasn't afraid at all. His thoughts stirred, and golden flames erupted, instantly enveloping the nine people who had surrounded him.
"Hellsfire!" Humdwar's eyes widened in surprise at the surging golden flames, but he showed no fear.
"Human, soul attacks won't affect us," the others said, their bodies brimming with the power of laws, which seemed to repel the Hellfire attack entirely.
However, not all of them were unaffected. Four of the group howled in pain, unable to resist the Hellfire's scorching assault.
The others made no move to help. Instead, they continued their relentless assault on John.
"Die!" Humdwar roared, thrusting his spear forward like a flood dragon rushing to sea. A flash of cold light cut through the air, ignoring any power of laws, and pierced straight through John's body.
[You have been killed by Humdwar, Eternal Clan The Overseer. Lifesaver talent activated.]
A prompt flashed in front of John, and he resurrected at the same spot, his eyes wide in shock as he stared at Humdwar.
This guy's attack was strange, as if it didn't belong to any known force. Even his elemental evasion couldn't protect him from the damage.
"Shattering Light Slash!" Another furious shout echoed as a streak of cold light ripped through the void, striking John in an instant.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion sounded as golden light flashed around John. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his soul trembling.
Another three-star Overseer.
Even in the invincible state granted by his Lifesaver talent, John couldn't fully resist their attacks.
"Human, dying at the hands of us is an honor," one of them sneered coldly as waves of attacks descended upon him without pause, not giving him any chance to breathe.
"Damn it!" John's form staggered. The invincible time had ended, and he was once again struck down.
This was the last time his Lifesaver talent triggered today.
Pain twisted across his face as his soul was once again severely wounded.
His current strength was still too weak; he simply couldn't withstand the combined might of nine Overseers.
He couldn't help but glance toward Ice Talker.
At this moment, Ice Talker and Terran were caught in a deadly battle with Centeror, Saukers, and Thunderover, completely entangled and unable to offer him any assistance.
John, feeling helpless, directly activated World-in-Hand, trapping all of the Overseers inside.
"Hmph, ignorant!" ShadowLord God sneered upon seeing John seal Humdwar and the others into World-in-Hand. His expression turned cold, but inside, he finally relaxed.
He knew the power of these Overseers—these beings were strong enough to destroy John's World-in-Hand and kill him without a doubt.
As for Ice Talker, she was likely doomed as well.
He glanced at Ice Talker, who was being attacked by Centeror and was in a life-threatening situation, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The outcome was already decided. There was no need for him to stay. The massive figure of ShadowLord God slowly began to dissipate, and the terrifying pressure he had been exuding vanished along with it.
Meanwhile, the Hunters around Purple Sky City grew even more frantic, once again attacking the city with wild abandon.
Fortunately, the Four Symbols Guardian Formation was in place, and for the time being, they were unable to break through it.
...
Inside John's World-in-Hand
Humdwar and the other eight Overseers arrived inside, immediately feeling the immense pressure surrounding them.
At that moment, John's figure appeared, coldly staring at the group as he slowly spoke: "Welcome to my World-in-Hand." Discover magic on m_v_l_e_m_p_y_r
"Hmph, human, you are truly ignorant to bring us directly into your World-in-Hand like this!" Humdwar sneered.
John's World-in-Hand was powerful, but Humdwar wasn't intimidated in the slightest.
All he needed to do was destroy World-in-Hand, and John would die for sure.
"Law of the Hand!" Humdwar said coldly, and with a burst of energy, his overwhelming power of laws surged, immediately severing John's World-in-Hand laws from the inside.
The other Overseers followed suit.
For two-star and above Overseers, World-in-Hand didn't really limit their power.
"First, we destroy his World-in-Hand!" Humdwar ordered, gathering his most powerful attack to break John's World-in-Hand.
Whoosh…
A gust of wind howled as boundless power of laws surged. Waves of powerful skills crashed relentlessly against John's World-in-Hand.
The sounds of explosions echoed as they easily tore through the space. Endless spatial turbulence began to churn, continuously devouring John's World-in-Hand.
John's expression grew grim. These attacks were even stronger than the Undying Flame.
Humdwar and another three-star Overseer from the Sea Clan had the most terrifying attacks.
His World-in-Hand was being torn apart piece by piece.
If the spatial turbulence continued unchecked, his World-in-Hand would likely be completely destroyed.
"Heaven and Earth Transformation!"
"Creation and Destruction!"
John invoked his divine skill, transforming into a towering giant. He then swung his longsword down with immense force.
A massive sword beam sliced through the air, and powerful Chaos Force surged forth, repairing the terrifying spatial rifts that had been ripping through his World-in-Hand.
The Overseers stood in shock.
"What is this skill?" one of them exclaimed, wide-eyed. This was the first time they had encountered a skill that could repair space itself.
The parts of World-in-Hand that had been destroyed were quickly restored by John.
"Impressive!" Humdwar couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear. His brows furrowed as he poured even more strength into his attacks.
The others also continued their relentless assault on John's World-in-Hand.
The areas of World-in-Hand that had just been repaired were once again shattered, piece by piece.
"Damn it, Golden Lotus Hellfire!" John seethed with rage, activating his soul skill, Golden Lotus Hellfire.
Golden flames erupted, but instead of attacking Humdwar and the others, John directed the inferno at the four Overseers who lacked defenses against the Hellfire.
Wails of agony filled the air as those Overseers were immediately consumed by the flames, their bodies writhing in pain.
Seizing the opportunity, John used his divine skill to reshape the world.
The part of World-in-Hand that had just been destroyed was immediately repaired, and the new structure was even more stable than before.
"What kind of ability is this?" one of the Overseers muttered in disbelief, struggling to defend against the soul-shredding damage of Hellfire while continuing their attack on World-in-Hand.
But their efforts were futile.
Their rate of destruction was far slower than John's ability to repair it.
"We can't keep going like this," Humdwar gritted his teeth, realizing they needed a change in strategy. He fixed his cold gaze on John and said, "Let's kill this human first!"
"Agreed!" The others also recognized that without eliminating John, they would never be able to destroy his World-in-Hand.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind swirled, and nine different powers of law surged as they ignored the restrictions of World-in-Hand's laws, launching their most violent attacks against John.
[You have been killed by The Overseer. Undying and Immortal talent triggered...]
The notification flashed, and John, overwhelmed by the combined attacks, was killed instantly.
But as his body collapsed, his Undying and Immortal talent activated, and he was resurrected right where he had fallen.
"Human, let's see how many times you can resurrect!" The Overseers showed no mercy, launching another barrage of attacks without giving John a moment to breathe.
Among the attacks, four powerful soul skills joined the fray.
John didn't dare to take chances. He quickly activated his own soul skill, Golden Lotus Manifestation.
His soul was enveloped by golden light as the Overseers' attacks came crashing down.
Boom!
The explosive sound of the impact echoed as John was once again struck down, just as expected.
Fortunately, he managed to resist the soul attacks.
However, it was clear that Undying and Immortal wasn't an unlimited resurrection. No matter how strong his soul was, if he kept dying, it wouldn't take long before he could no longer withstand it.
He had to fight back.
The power of laws surged again as the Overseers' attacks resumed.
John gritted his teeth and immediately activated Wind Evasion, merging his body into the wind element.
Boom! Boom!
Most of the attacks missed, unable to land any hits on him, but there was one exception.
It was Humdwar.
"Human, it's useless," Humdwar sneered. "The World-in-Hand I've comprehended ignores any power of law!" With a cold voice, he swung his spear, moving with precision to strike John, who had transformed into the wind element.
