Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"I will leave too!"

"Make a decision quickly, otherwise when the monsters come, there won't even be time to defend!"

What else is there to say?

A leading professional stood up and bowed towards Shen Ye:

"Please save us one more time."

"We are willing to offer all the remaining resources in the city, just for a way to survive."

Shen Ye didn't look at him, instead, he turned towards the Good Duck.

Good Duck spat out as it shouted:

"Do you remember by Da Ming Lake twenty years ago, I saved you once. This time stay, consider it repaying that favor."

Shen Ye responded unpleasantly: "Hmph... You duck, always using favors to talk."

"Stay?" Good Duck asked.

"Alright!" Shen Ye said somewhat reluctantly.

Good Duck cheered immediately.

Other professionals felt relieved seeing this terrifying sword master willing to stay and fight.

"According to the original plan, everyone move!" Good Duck shouted.

The crowd moved.

Some went to collect resources, to offer to Shen Ye.

Others were responsible for preparing the sacrificial ceremony.

Another group began activating all remaining defense measures in the city.

A few minutes later.

The sacrificial ceremony began.

Step by step, they completed the rituals, then took out a tentacle from Augustus' body, covered in touches—

sacrifice!

Boom—

Under Good Duck's chanting of the spell, infinite dark intense flames reflected in the sky like an ocean.

A magnificent will descended, probing the tentacle.

An invisible thought appeared in everyone's mind:

"Not enough."

"The entire city, just severed this one tentacle, it's really—"

Snap!

Shen Ye cut seven or eight more sections of the tentacle and threw them into the altar.

The thought immediately changed:

"This city is meant to prevent those guys from causing trouble."

"Originally, it was abandoned."

"But considering you've established merit—"

"You may continue to exist, and the city shall continue to be protected, able to wield the power of destruction."

Boom!!!

The whole city burst into raging dark flames.

These flames would not burn anyone, but instead restored each destroyed building to its original state.

"The functionality of the large cannons is completely restored!"

"Spatial transfer waves are converging on the teleportation platform; it can once again teleport troops!"

"The Tower of Destruction has begun releasing destruction blessings again!"

"The weapon inventory is replenished!"

Everyone quickly reported.

Shen Ye was somewhat surprised.

Sacrifice—

Exchanging sacrifice for the descent of the Will of Destruction, repairing various city facilities.

Although this was nice, enhancing the city's overall combat power—

But why do I feel this is somewhat familiar?

A thought flashed in Shen Ye's mind.

He stood there, as if electrified, stunned.

That's it.

His own Endless Destruction Throne—

was like this!

Each creation represents the strength of its owner.

But I only gathered three creations.

Namely: Digging Factory, Truth Destruction Cannon, Judicial Court!

What about the Will of Destruction?

It has numerous Main Gods, countless cities, and each city has innumerable combat buildings!

—But fundamentally, the approach is the same!

If one day.

The Endless Destruction Throne surpasses the Destruction Tribulation—

What would happen then?

Would it be me representing the Destruction Tribulation?

Shen Ye put away his thoughts, carefully observing those restored buildings.

Last time.

All combat buildings in this city were destroyed.

Given that.

What use would their restoration be?

If the same monsters come, the result would only be destruction once again!

This won't do!

Those monsters are hunting me!

Shen Ye threw half of the octopus—not, half of Augustus' corpse into the altar, shouting loudly:

"Monsters from that world will attack again soon. As servants of destruction, we do not want to fail once more."

"We don't want to be crushed under monster's feet and mocked:"

"'Look, the subordinates of the Will of Destruction are a bunch of trash!'"

As the words fell.

Within the altar.

Half of Augustus' corpse vanished.

Rumble——

In the city.

One by one, brand new combat buildings rose from the ground.

They radiated fierce power of destruction, their energy fluctuations far surpassing previous buildings.

The grand will descended into Shen Ye's mind, releasing a message:

"The city's combat power has increased threefold!"

"If you give me that complete corpse, I will bestow you with an ability!"

"Certainly, here you go!" Shen Ye said swiftly.

He threw all the remaining octopus carcasses onto the altar.

——Anyway, Augustus's withering element has already been absorbed by him, and the soul continues to work within the Dharma Aspect.

A mere dead body is of no use.

...Wait a minute.

He seemed to have forgotten something extremely important.

Fortunately, he remembered at this moment.

Shen Ye tried his best to stay calm, standing on the altar quietly waiting for the reaction of the Will of Destruction.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The octopus carcass vanished.

The will of the Destruction Tribulation responded again:

"The sacrifice level is very high."

"I have decided to bestow upon you the 'Destruction Protection Shield'. "

"—— The shield technique can be used twice."

"Each time it's used, you can fully neutralize any all-out strike from an existence up to three hundred times your own power."

"Defend this city."

Shen Ye immediately asked, "Can you arrange some reinforcements? There are too few professionals in this city; if more people could join the battle——"

"No one will come," the Will of Destruction said telepathically, "this is a place I have abandoned. If you cannot defend it, then escape."

"Remember."

"What you truly need to do is to offer more sacrifices to me."

"If you succeed, I will grant you more strength!"

All messages were delivered.

In an instant.

The dark intense flame in the sky disappeared without a trace.

The Will of Destruction had left.

Only Shen Ye and Duck stood on the altar.

Escape...

The Will of Destruction has abandoned this city!

It tells me to escape if I can't win!

Dammit.

The war hasn't even started, and the city is already abandoned.

Are the enemies really powerful?

Shen Ye pondered.

He suddenly noticed the people around him cheering.

Everyone was looking at him.

Shen Ye lowered his head and saw himself covered in a layer of ethereal black flame, looking extremely mighty.

"This is the technique personally granted by the Great Tribulation Will!"

"Sir, you have received the blessing of the Great Tribulation, which means we still have hope!"

"Please command us!"

"We will fight with all our strength!"

The professionals saluted him.

Shen Ye understood.

This "special effect" on his body was actually the "Destruction Protection Shield".

Alright then.

Since it can unite everyone, let's fight well.

"Duck, hurry and find someone to lead you in inspiring all the buildings."

Shen Ye said.

"Yes!" Good Duck shouted and left with a group of people.

——The "Behind-the-Scenes Person" entry was raised by one rank, just enough to endow prefixes and suffixes to each building.

In this way——

The city's combat power will receive another boost.

Finally.

As for his own side.

"Fei Lun."

Shen Ye softly called.

"What's the matter?" The puzzled voice of the Big Skeleton sounded.

"Come, have a bite of this."

Shen Ye quietly said.

"Pervert, disgusting, why should I eat this stuff?" The Big Skeleton said disparagingly.

"Damn it, I'm doing this for your own good."

"I can't see how."

"Aren't you able to transform by eating something?"

"Yeah?"

Shen Ye softly said:

"Eat a bite of brain flowers and transform into a Multi-Brain River, don't you want——"

Quiet for a breath.

The Big Skeleton cried out:

"Eat! My ancestor! Even if I have to puke, I will eat it and then puke!"

Indeed.

Originally, for an existence like the Big Skeleton at this level, there would never be an opportunity to eat the brain flowers of the Multi-Brain River.

The disparity was too great.

Even the chance of meeting hardly existed.

But he won with one slash, prevailing over the Multi-Brain River, becoming the historical "First Place Duck"!

That's why there is now a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He can eat the brain flowers!

If...

There could be a trustworthy Multi-Brain River by his side...

"Rest assured, I'll make a hotpot for you to cook it in; the taste won't be bad."

"Then I want the spicy flavor."

"No problem, what would you like to drink?"

"Just bring some beer. Don't humans drink beer when eating hotpot?"

Boom!!!

A technique struck the city.

The entire city began to shake.

"Sir! The monsters are attacking——"

Someone hurriedly reported.

"Alright, you guys defend first," Shen Ye said solemnly, "I'll cook a hotpot, and I'll be right there!"
