Chapter 540 Tricking Before Swallowing
Chapter 540 Tricking Before Swallowing
[Damn it…what's going on?]
[Where did she come from out of nowhere?]
[Wait a second…why can't I see through her? Is she backed by some Ancient or Celestial God just like that brat?]
.
.
Looking at the sudden change of events in the human world, the Ancient God was shocked and became furious at the sudden appearance of Ashley.
However, when he tried to see through her, the Ancient God was unable to see anything just like how he could not see through Leo.
Hence, he thought that Ashley was also backed by the same God who was backing Leo.
[No…no…no…this shouldn't be happening like this. I have to fail this world at any cost. Only then, I can have enough energy to contact the main body]
[I have been exiled by the main body for way too long. This is my only ticket to contact my main body and request resources]
The Ancient God who was excited a few moments back was shaking with mixed emotions.
As a partial spirit of the main body, the Ancient God developed his own consciousness and wanted to devour the main body; however, he had greatly underestimated the power of the main body and was banished by it to a barren region of its territory to look after the non-graded worlds.
Since he was a part of the main body, he also gained the same hatred of the main body towards the human body. As for the reason for that hatred, he had no clue and never bothered to learn about it.
All he needed to do was fail the human worlds under his control and he would gain some Mysterious Energy exclusive to the gods through another partial soul of the main body.
According to his plan, this Ancient God's partial spirit wanted to gain that exclusive energy to contact the main body to exchange for some resources that could increase his strength.
[All partial spirits of the main body could freely contact the main body and exchange for the resources with their accumulated energy; however, because of my past mistakes, the main body sealed the communication between us]
[To unseal that, I needed 100 units of that energy and as long as I failed this world's assessment, I would have accumulated that energy]
[Damn it…why is it happening only to me?]
Earlier, he thought that Leo and the Dragon Summoning Hero were the only anomalies in this world. So, he used his authority as the [Temporary World God] to take care of the Dragon Summoning Hero and stop Leo from entering the world during the world assessment.
He had already used all the underhanded tricks in and beyond his authority and he could not afford to use any more of these underhanded tricks.
Therefore, the partial spirit of the Ancient God felt hopeless and decided to give up on his thoughts of failing the human world.
[Even though I get some of that exclusive energy if the world passes its assessment, it was almost negligible compared to what I get by failing it]
[I can get a significant amount of the energy if these humans acknowledge me as their [True World God]; however, there is no way they would accept me as their god after what I did to them]
The Ancient God silently thought in his head as he looked at the human world that was about to complete both stages 1 and 2 of the world assessment.
'Huh?'
On the other side, Leo, who was searching for a way to take care of the last connecting dot between him and his world, finally found a way after listening to the thought of the Ancient God thanks to the [Thoughts of the Gods].
'It looks like I can solve my problem with little to no effort.'
Leo was excited as he started perfecting his plan to take care of the Ancient God.
[Anyway, in another 10 years, another human world will be ready for its grade 1 world assessment. I will fully prepare to fail that world].
The Ancient God had already given up his hopes in this human world and decided to plan for his future.
"Ancient God, the Celestial has a message for you."
Hearing the final thoughts of the Ancient God, Leo became anxious and didn't waste any more time as he directly executed his plan.
Of course, he used an effective sentence that would definitely attract the attention of the partial spirit of the ancient god.
"Celestial God?"
For a second, the ancient god's partial spirit was surprised and muttered, 'Why would a great celestial want to speak to a lowly partial spirit like me?'
Celestial Gods are the existences that were one level higher than the Ancient Gods. For such an existence to speak to a lowly partial spirit, the Ancient God's spirit was both surprised and doubted.
Nevertheless, he was sure about one thing and that was Leo was definitely an apostle of an Ancient or Celestial God.
Therefore, after getting surprised for a moment, the Ancient God's spirit no longer suspected anything as he was not worried that Leo would do something to him.
[A lowly human who was yet to reach the Mythical Rank could not even harm a single hair on me]
With that thought in mind, the Ancient God appeared in front of Leo.
[I don't know why the sponsor of this brat wants to say to me, let's hear it. If he wants a favour from me, I can ask for the exclusive energy in return for completing that favour]
[If it goes well, I don't have to wait for ten years]
Even though 10 years were not long for an Ancient God to wait, he preferred to get his things done as soon as possible and it was possible through the backer of the human in front of him.
"Say! What is the message?"
The Ancient God asked Leo with a hopeful look on his face.
"Go to hell!"
Without wasting any time, Leo directly activated his [Spirit Swallowing Ability]
