Chapter 146: So It Really Is Necessary to Kill the Main God

The chance encounter with a classmate was merely a minor interlude.

When Lu Zheng came into contact with Xuanyuan Wuji, one could say he had already severed himself from romance and love.

Perhaps there could be room for such things in the future, but right now, absolutely not!

His eyes held only the pursuit of greater strength, and using that powerful strength to protect the Daxia Alliance and ensure his parents lived safely.

If he couldn't even provide a safe living environment for his own parents.

Then what business did he have talking about romance and love?!

He was certainly not the kind of love-struck fool who would insist on romance even if the world were ending.

After leaving the Abyss Demon Lair, Lu Zheng headed straight for the Undead Plane without even meeting up with Xuanyuan Wuji and the others.

After all, there was no point in doing so.

This time he was going to complete the final assessment on his own, and if the assessment went smoothly, he could come straight out.

If he couldn't come out, then meeting now would only add needless worry to others.

Lu Zheng's temperament had always been that less trouble was better than more.

Just get it done!

In the Abyss Demon Realm, when he completed the hundred-billion kill target, it clearly showed that the eighth assessment had been completed.

Yet the content of the ninth assessment did not appear.

Clearly, one needed to enter the Death God Temple before the ninth assessment could be unlocked.

Lu Zheng fought his way through all the way, arriving at the spot where he had been teleported out previously.

The content of the ninth assessment finally appeared.

Along with it came the reward for the eighth assessment.

【Ding! You have completed the eighth assessment content of the Death God King Divine Throne Inheritance Assessment: Harvest Life!】

【Congratulations on obtaining the reward: Death Affinity +20%; Divine Skill: Blossoming of the Other Shore Flower】

【Current Death Affinity: 200%】

【Ninth Assessment Content: Kill all other assessment-takers!】

【Description: The journey toward the throne is destined to be filled with death. There is only one throne. Kill all other assessment-takers, and only then can you inherit the true God King Throne.】

【Reward: Death Affinity +20%; Divine Skill: Fusing Darkness】

Seeing the content of this assessment task, Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

This was actually the worst possible outcome.

Before entering here to participate in the assessment, Lu Zheng's thinking had always been that as long as he passed the assessment and inherited the God King Throne, killing that Main God-level Evil God would be simple and easy, wouldn't it? But as he passed each assessment one by one, he increasingly felt that this God King Throne assessment was anything but simple! In the end, it was very likely saving up something huge for him.

The worst possible outcome was the task before his eyes.

He needed to first kill a Main God before he could inherit the God King Throne! Perhaps, when the God King inheritance assessment task was first set up, the previous generation's Death God King had considered that the strongest of the other assessment-takers would at most be a Lower God.

But he most likely never imagined that an Evil God would covet the God King Throne, and that a Main God would participate in the God King Throne inheritance assessment.

This meant that Lu Zheng had to kill a Main God before he could inherit the divine throne! Under normal circumstances, which assessment-taker's strength could reach the Main God level?

This was nearly a certain-death situation!

But for Lu Zheng, there was still a sliver of hope.

When this task appeared, Lu Zheng immediately sensed the location of another God Assessment Participant—the Main God-level Evil God Oswaldo.

As a Main God, it possessed immense power.

Although it couldn't directly break or entirely ignore the assessments set by the God King, seizing and plundering like those Lower God-level Evil Gods who snatched the divine thrones of Mid God-level Orthodox Gods.

It still had certain privileges.

The first eight assessments had been directly skipped by it, simply waiting here for the arrival of the final assessment.

Now, it had finally waited until it came.

It seemed to have waited too long; after sensing someone appear, it still reacted for a brief moment.

In truth, it had thought of many methods before, such as having other Evil Gods participate in the assessment to then complete the final battle. But after entering here, it had been trapped.

And the God King Throne assessment, apart from Lu Zheng who had been forced here by a Job Change Quest to participate, not a single person would ever come to attempt it!

So when Lu Zheng appeared, Oswaldo even thought it was hallucinating.

And when it saw that Lu Zheng was merely level three hundred, it directly burst into loud laughter.

"Haha! To think such a weak assessment-taker has come. Being able to enter the final assessment is your greatest fortune, and now, your fortune ends here!"

Lu Zheng looked at the monster before him—over thirteen hundred meters tall, with a horse's head but two ox horns, a humanoid body yet four legs.

He was rather speechless.

It was already a Main God-level Evil God, yet it didn't even have the awareness that villains die from talking too much.

In that little bit of time, Lu Zheng had already completed his Divine Pet Summon, Bridge of Magic Power construction, and the summoning of fifteen hundred External Avatars! This fellow had perhaps been locked up here for so long that it wasn't in any hurry to kill Lu Zheng.

Seeing Lu Zheng release so many divine pets and clones, it couldn't help but say in surprise:

"So you do have some tricks up your sleeve. I quite like this Divine Skill. Eat your brain, and perhaps I can obtain your skill!"

Hearing it say this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but immediately release the 'Illusion-Breaking Golden Eye' to scan the target before him.

Ten billion mana points were completely depleted, and Oswaldo's information was laid bare before Lu Zheng.

【Evil God: Oswaldo】

【Level: LV. 835 (Main God)】

【HP: 890 billion/890 billion】

【Mana: 145 billion/145 billion】

【Strength: 28.5 million】

【Agility: 24.45 million】

Spirit: 23.8 million

Constitution: 27.0 million

【Skills: Frenzy Storm, Demon King Blade, Breath of Greed, Dark Demon Shield, Evil Demon Prison, Myriad Demon Heavy Strike, Gate of the Abyss, Evil God True Body (Passive), Gluttony (Passive)】

Lu Zheng directly acquires Oswaldo's transformations via Seventy-Two Transformations, and simultaneously obtains Oswaldo's skills through Ditian Wanfa.

The first skill obtained is Gluttony.

【Skill: Gluttony (Passive)】

【Effect: You have a strong desire to eat everything; swallowing something may randomly increase a base attribute, or may grant a certain skill】

No wonder this guy says that eating Lu Zheng might grant his skill.

So it indeed has this passive ability.

It seems this guy likely possesses other skills.

But Illusion-Breaking Golden Eye only sees the most fundamental basic information, so it cannot determine what other skills this Evil God possesses.

A brief analysis suggests the opponent likely does not have the Death God King's skill, since the God King's skill rank would certainly be enough to appear in the basic information.

In any case, before the battle began, Lu Zheng had already obtained its skill, which counts as having a lot of information.

And the opponent clearly still holds a contemptuous attitude toward Lu Zheng.

Comparing the two, Lu Zheng feels his odds of winning are still quite high! Regardless of anything else, first release "True Blessing", then hurl a Death God King skill at Oswaldo, Blossoming of the Other Shore Flower.

Consume ten million mana points, instantly converting half of the opponent's mana into Power of Death, dealing damage of equal magnitude!

Oswaldo's mana is not small—about 145 billion; halving it to roughly 72.5 billion reduces Oswaldo's HP by an equivalent amount.

A reduction of over seven hundred billion HP, though less than a tenth of Oswaldo's total, is still considerable.

A sudden drop of that much HP startled it! Brothers, if this book isn't enough, check out the new book: "After Divorce, Celestial Dao Partners Came After Me" – link below! Blurb: Just divorced, then force‑kissed by Dao partners from the celestial realms!
