Hearing Minos' confident words, those skeletons looked at him incredulously, impressed by how this young Spiritual Emperor spoke of a Spiritual Demigod...
'This fellow... He talks about the God of Death as if such a person was a loser...' One of them shook its head, feeling funny since it had never thought it would have any good thoughts about that enemy.
The God of Death might be its mortal enemy, but this skeleton recognized the terrifying power of that man!This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
If he was not powerful, how could he have done so many terrible things and still reached the 10th stage?
As such, not only that skeleton, but many there thought Minos had a rigorous view and was wrong about the God of Death being pathetic.
But they all understood the logic behind Minos' words, so they agreed that the God of Death had not reached the 11th stage.
The quality of the cultivation base was essential during breakthroughs, even more so for the last step, which could not be taken without the help of external items.
In this case, it made sense that someone who had depended on external aids all his life would have difficulties attempting the most challenging breakthrough, using not only another external item but one different from the one usually used.
What happens if someone uses a medication a lot?
Of course, it would lose effect with time.
But what if such a person simply changed medications?
That was not good either since such a person might have achieved an addiction that prevented him from making the change.
In any case, the God of Death had abused his powers, so he could not compare himself to a cultivator with the ability to become a true God.
The strongest among those subordinates of the Goddess helping Abby then said as they were already walking with the group through that area of the cemetery. "From what we know, it all happened during the youth of the two of them."
"At one point, the God of Death was a member of the same organization as the Goddess. But then, he almost eliminated that organization, resulting in the death of all of the Goddess' family and friends." Such a skeleton said in a tone laden with melancholy.
"How awful..." Abby commented in a low voice.
"But by a coincidence of fate, perhaps her luck, the Goddess was on a mission away from that organization when this happened. That's why she survived to find the headquarters of the power behind her ruined, with beasts devouring the bodies left behind and thieves stealing the sect's belongings."
Another of them then added. "In addition, she found her mother's corpse and remains of what should be her siblings... Ah, I'm sure that was a tragedy for her that must have been hard to overcome."
And indeed it had been. The Goddess of Life and the God of Death had approximate ages. But while that man took 300 years to reach level 90 and then thousands of years to reach 98, that woman took 4,000 years to become a Spiritual Demigod.
In the meantime of all this, she swallowed her hatred, worked hard, and eventually approached the power of her great enemy. Only then had she fought against him and became the great enemy of the infamous God of Death.
That was the size of her hatred and trauma, which had moved her for thousands of years, even when the difference between her and her opponent was more than 40 levels!
"That's a long history of hatred, huh?" Minos muttered to himself, impressed with the history behind these ancient experts.
'The purpose of this inheritance is probably to continue the struggle between the Goddess of Life and the God of Death...' He pondered as his group moved at speed toward their destination.
'Well, that won't be so bad. The groups of the two are probably gone, so Abby will inherit things from this place without having to go through too many trials...'
As he thought that, it was not long before their group arrived in the vicinity of where a crowd of skeletons was gathered.
Seeing the white sea in front of them, Abby opened her mouth in shock, seeing numbers like that for the first time in her life.
"There must be over 100,000 individuals there!" She commented to Minos.
"Hmm, let's see what we do here..."
