Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Chapter 187: Betray



It was the name of the strange beastman.

His name was Melokuhle. At the same time ,he held a peculiar title—Profaner.

This was not a flattering title. It implied a desecration of the deity, a provocation to the divine. However, Melokuhle mentioned it with such ease, clearly indifferent to the impact of the title.

That only deepened Enzo\'s curiosity.

He was eager to know what the so-called tests were and what kind of trials Maude and Rexfit had undergone.

However, it wasn\'t the right time.

As Enzo and Norma emerged from the multiple layers of space, they happened to encounter Torrian and his group. The timing was quite delicate, as Torrian\'s group was currently in a standoff with another group that was entering the secret realm.

"It\'s you two!"

Seeing two people suddenly emerge from the rock wall, Torrian was startled. But upon recognizing them, he immediately laughed and said to the other group, "Rodney, let\'s put our conflict aside for now and join forces to deal with these two troubles, shall we?"

The middle-aged man named Rodney nodded.

He belonged to a small faction in the Dark Night Forest, known for his considerable strength and some renown in the region. However, he was still somewhat inferior compared to Torrian. If it weren\'t for the Spatial Stone, he wouldn\'t want to offend Torrian.

Now, with Enzo and Norma\'s appearance, Rodney saw an opportunity.

He added, "Torrian, we can join forces, but I want half of the Spatial Stone we get after dealing with them."

This condition made Torrian\'s expression darken.

However, he had no choice but to agree. If he refused, Rodney might choose to aid Enzo and Norma, putting him at a disadvantage.

After a moment of thought, Torrian agreed, "Alright."

Rodney smiled and said, "Then let\'s have a pleasant cooperation!"

Torrian did not respond but instead focused on Enzo and Norma. The thought of killing Enzo and receiving the reward promised by Curtis stirred his excitement.

Without further hesitation, he shouted, "Attack!"

The cavern\'s space was already tight, and the members brought by Torrian and Rodney nearly blocked the passage entirely, leaving Enzo and Norma with no escape route.

The two did not falter in the face of this.

Enzo lowered his voice and said, "It\'s time to fight."

Norma nodded, glanced around, and replied, "I\'ll deal with Torrian. You handle Rodney. Be careful—Rodney seems to have mastered some kind of powerful magic."

The battle was about to begin.

Seeing Enzo\'s aggressive move, Rodney sneered, "Kid, with your level of power, you dare to fight me? You\'re asking for death!"

In the next moment, Rodney\'s hand crackled with electricity.

The lightning crackled continuously with a terrifying aura, then transformed into a pair of gauntlets which Rodney equipped. Such a weapon was quite rare.

Then, Rodney directly launched a powerful punch.

Enzo, rapidly approaching, felt a powerful force seal off all space in front of him, with lightning darting through. He had to halt and retreat to a safe spot.

Rodney mocked, "Is that all you\'ve got, kid?"

Rodney then slammed his fist into the ground, causing a burst of lightning to crack open the earth, creating a fissure that extended towards Enzo.

Enzo quickly evaded, but the lightning continued unabated, hitting the cavern wall and creating a deep pit, sending debris flying and causing the entire cavern to tremble.

As Torrian grappled with Norma, he cursed loudly, "Rodney, what are you doing?"

Rodney quickly responded, "My mistake, my mistake."

Torrian, infuriated, found himself distracted by Rodney\'s miscalculation, which not only missed Enzo but also affected him.

This distraction allowed Norma, with her extensive battle experience, to seize the opportunity.

She swiftly formed a spatial blade and slashed towards Torrian\'s heart. Although Torrian reacted in time, he couldn\'t fully evade the attack, resulting in a narrow but deep wound on his chest. Blood gushed out, and the intense pain drove him into a frenzy.

"Damn it!"

Torrian swore and roared at Rodney, "Rodney, deal with that guy quickly!"

Realizing that Norma\'s strength exceeded his expectations and sensing impending danger, Torrian feared for his life if the battle continued.

Hearing Torrian\'s shout, Rodney understood it was time to get serious.

He turned to Enzo and declared, "Kid, this ends now!"

Surging lightning emerged from Rodney, coalescing into a long spear. The spear\'s tip crackled with electric light, radiating an incredibly fierce aura.

Rodney, with a serious expression, declared, "Kid, it\'s your honor to die under the Thunder Spear!"

Thunder Spear?!

Was this the powerful skill that Rodney controls?

Enzo became increasingly cautious, but Rodney did not advance. Instead, he manipulated the Thunder Spear and aimed it at Enzo.

Whoosh!

The Thunder Spear moved at lightning speed. Enzo barely had time to react before the spear was right in front of him, about to pierce his chest.

Rodney seemed to foresee Enzo\'s fate, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Enzo\'s face showed no sign of panic or fear. Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. What alarmed Rodney the most was that he noticed the Thunder Spear had not hit Enzo.

There was a tiny spatial rift at Enzo\'s chest.

At that moment, the Thunder Spear was being absorbed by the rift.

Rodney\'s face turned grim as he demanded, "How did you do that?"

In this secret realm, influenced by the Spatial Stone vein, manipulating spatial elements was extremely difficult. It was even harder to control spatial forces as precisely as Enzo did.

Could it be that he has some secret?

Rodney couldn\'t help but doubt.

The more he doubted, the more convinced he became that his suspicions were correct.

He thought to himself, "Torrian, though usually prone to arguing and creating conflicts, always shows sufficient respect when faced with truly powerful individuals.

This time, Lady Norma has demonstrated formidable strength and has a close relationship with that young man, yet he still chooses to oppose Norma."

"This doesn\'t add up!"

"Torrian must know more!"

Rodney\'s greed surged within him.

At that moment, Enzo noticed Rodney\'s brief lapse in focus and quickly summoned dozens of vines to bind him. Unfortunately, Rodney reacted in time, his body crackling with lightning that shattered all the vines. He disdainfully said, "Is that all you\'ve got, kid?"

Indeed, a formidable opponent!

Enzo took a deep breath and focused intensely.

However, he soon noticed Rodney\'s strength seemed to be waning, as if he was deliberately controlling it.

On the other side, Torrian was retreating steadily.

Finally, he called out to Rodney, "Rodney, come help me!"

But Rodney did not move immediately. Instead, he said, "I can help you, but I want seventy percent of the Spatial Stone\'s profits."

Torrian was caught off guard by Rodney\'s sudden demand for a larger share.

Seeing Norma launching another attack, he had no choice but to begrudgingly agree, gritting his teeth and saying, "Fine!"

After receiving the reply, Rodney casually knocked Enzo back and then walked toward Torrian. Just as Torrian believed Rodney would ally with him against Norma, Rodney instead used the Thunder Spear to pierce Torrian\'s heart directly.

Thanks to his own strength, Torrian did not die immediately.

He looked at Rodney in disbelief and asked, "Why?"

Rodney sneered, "Torrian, I\'m just doing what needs to be done. After all, no one wants to share readily accessible wealth with others."

This turn of events was unexpected for both Norma and Enzo.

Norma even mocked, "Torrian, look at the kind of ally you chose."

Upon hearing this, Torrian coughed up blood, shivered, and his breath finally ceased.

Rodney casually tossed Torrian\'s lifeless body aside, and the people Torrian had brought were also struck down by several bolts of lightning. After handling these matters, Rodney turned to Norma and Enzo, saying, "Ms. Norma, do you still intend to resist?

If you\'re willing to submit to me, I can offer you half of the Spatial Stone."

Norma scoffed, "Rodney, do you think I\'m a fool?"

Rodney shook his head and replied, "Actually, it\'s a very sincere offer. After all, if you refuse, your only option will be death."

Norma remained disdainful, "Do you really think you can defeat me?"

Rodney suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Ms. Norma, if I\'m not mistaken, your strength is almost depleted, while I am at near full power. As for the guy beside you, I\'m afraid he\'s too weak and will only be a burden."

Norma shook her head, "I don\'t think so."

Although her own strength was waning, Enzo was not significantly depleted.

Norma knew from experience that Enzo\'s true abilities were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Seeing that his persuasion had failed, Rodney lost his patience. He once again summoned several Thunder Spears and said harshly, "If that\'s the case, then die!"

With that, the Thunder Spears shot out towards them.
