213: Killing in!

Below the volcano.

A giant green altar.

The God of Curse sat on the altar, his eyes already recovered.

Qin Tian’s shouts came from above, and the God of Curse’s brows furrowed tightly.

Not only him, but the other God Races below the altar also had extremely grim expressions on their faces.

For them, humans were merely sacrifices.

After the World Barrier shattered, it would be their time to devour humanity.

But now, the sacrifices were actually shouting insults at them from above.

As God Races, they were utterly helpless.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t break through the World Barrier and leave.

It was that even if they used some costly methods to leave from here, going out would be suicide.

They had all witnessed the scene of the Great Tengu being killed.

It was originally orchestrated by the God of Curse to boost his subordinates’ morale.

After all, they had been continuously suppressed by Qin Tian before, and none of the God Races sent to deal with Qin Tian had returned alive.

What the God of Curse hadn't expected was that even after sending out the Great Tengu, arguably the strongest combatant among his subordinates, he was still killed by Qin Tian.

And it was even more tragic than his previous subordinates; he was instantly killed in one encounter, unable to even cast a skill.

"What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

The God of Curse looked down at the altar and couldn't help but curse.

The God Races below the altar trembled, none daring to provoke the God of Curse.

"Lord God of Curse, why don't we just break through the World Barrier and go out? The World Barrier is about to shatter anyway; going out now wouldn't cause much loss in strength."

In the quiet altar, a Stone Man Monster God Race suddenly stepped forward.

"That's right, Lord God of Curse, please lead us out! This kid is far too arrogant; this is practically making other God Races laugh at us."

As soon as the Stone Man Monster spoke, other God Races immediately echoed his sentiment.

The God Races were also divided by region, with the God of Curse leading the Sakura Country region.

Other God Races were distributed in other regions.

Now, the God of Curse's territory had been invaded by humans, who were supposed to be sacrifices, right to his doorstep, yet he didn't dare to go out and fight. This would be too humiliating if it got out.

The God of Curse's icy gaze fell upon the Stone Man Monster; he wanted to explode in a rage but managed to suppress it.

The World Barrier was about to shatter, and the God of Curse was still counting on these subordinates to gather more human players as sacrifices to enhance his strength.

If it weren't for this critical moment, he would have already killed this 'clever' Stone Man.

How could the God of Curse not want to go out and kill Qin Tian?

The key was that his strength hadn't fully recovered, and the God of Curse wasn't confident he could defeat Qin Tian.

The damage Qin Tian dealt was simply too exaggerated; even the God of Curse at his peak couldn't deal that kind of damage.

Furthermore, the one fighting Qin Tian was the Great Tengu, a genuine God Race just like the God of Curse, not a pseudo-god like the Stone Man Monster and his kind, whom the God of Curse had created using skill power.

If the God of Curse went out now, he would most likely be instantly killed by Qin Tian.

He had to wait until his strength was fully restored and his skills could unleash their true power.

At that time, he would have the means and confidence to defeat Qin Tian.

"What's the rush? The World Barrier is about to shatter. If you can't even endure a few insults, what kind of God Race are you?"

The God of Curse calmed down, his gaze sweeping over the monsters below the altar, and continued:

"Our opponent is not this small human player, but the other God Races. What's the point of gaining temporary satisfaction by going out and killing him?"

"If our strength isn't fully restored to its peak, how will we contend with the God Races from other regions?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the God Races below the altar, including the Stone Man Monster, all showed expressions of sudden realization.

"Lord God of Curse is indeed far-sighted."

"Lord God of Curse is brilliant; you truly see further! Yes, our enemies are far from these small human players, but the God Races from other regions."

"When the World Barrier shatters this time, we must capture the most human players and offer them to Lord God of Curse, so that your divine power greatly increases and you crush the gods of other regions!"

"Crush the gods of other regions!"

The previously oppressive altar instantly became lively.

All of the God of Curse's subordinates cheered.

They were already fantasizing about the beautiful scene after the World Barrier shattered: the God of Curse's combat power soaring, leading them to obliterate the gods of other regions.

Just as they were cheering, a violent tremor came again.

It was even more intense than the previous one.

The volcano erupted again.

At the same time, Qin Tian's voice resonated once more.

"God of Curse, come out and face your death."

This time, because the God of Curse had just stabilized his subordinates' morale,

the God Race monsters below the altar no longer showed bitter expressions like before.

Instead, they began to enjoy the sound of the volcanic eruption, even becoming entranced by it.

"The World Barrier has shattered!"

The Stone Man Monster suddenly shouted.

"It's true, the World Barrier has shattered! I can feel it, the restraint is gone!"

"Truly the blessing of the God of Fate! For the World Barrier to break at such a moment is simply too good! Let's go out now and kill that kid!"

"Kill that kid and let him witness the true power of our God Race!"

Cheers erupted around the altar, and the God Races below the altar all had excited expressions on their faces.

They had waited for this day for too long; due to the World Barrier's restraint, they had been trapped here, unable to leave.

And now, the World Barrier had finally disappeared, and they had regained their freedom, able to leave this place.

The cheering God Races looked at the God of Curse on the altar, just waiting for him to give the order for them to rush out and slaughter Qin Tian.

When they saw the expression on the God of Curse's face, the faces of all the God Race monsters turned strange.

They saw a rare look of fear on the God of Curse's face.

They had only seen such an expression on the God of Curse's face once before, when he fought the God of Curse during the last World Barrier shattering.

What exactly was the God of Curse afraid of?

The World Barrier had clearly shattered!

"My power, what's going on? Why hasn't my power fully recovered?"

"Mine too, it hasn't fully recovered; instead, it's draining away!"

"Impossible, the World Barrier has clearly shattered, could it be!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.

The expressions on the faces of the God Race monsters below the altar also became extremely grim.

With the World Barrier shattered, their power should have become stronger, but now, instead of strengthening, it was weakening.

They thought of one possibility.

The only possibility.

The World Barrier had been forcibly broken from the outside.

Only then would this situation occur: having broken free from the World Barrier's restraint, yet their strength was declining.

At this moment, the God Race monsters finally understood why the God of Curse's face showed such a look of terror.

To be able to break the World Barrier, this power was already more terrifying than some gods.

"Who among you is the God of Curse?"

A cold voice suddenly came, and all the God Race monsters were startled, turning their heads to look.

Qin Tian, holding a long blade, walked slowly towards them.
