Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 369: 184

“I’ll offer 1000 Spirit Stones. There are twelve of us. Can’t we defeat a little Myth like Logan? What if Logan kills Gamenor, will one of us be next?”

One of Gamenor’s confidants spoke up, urging the others to join the fight, but everyone remained silent, hesitating to make a decision.

Helping Gamenor wasn’t difficult, but Logan was no ordinary Myth. Gamenor, a high-ranking Overstep, couldn’t even defeat him, and most of them were only Middle Rank. Their combined efforts would have little effect unless Logan was severely injured and couldn’t fight effectively.

Contrary to their wishes, Logan had no injuries and seemed to have plenty of strength left. Under these circumstances, even if all of them joined, they would likely just increase their casualty count. If Logan decided to kill them all, wouldn’t they end up like Gamenor?

That was the tricky part. Gamenor was backed up by a powerful clan, and everyone had to listen to him.

“I won’t fight. I’m just a low-ranking Overstep, and I want to live a bit longer without getting into trouble. When we were crossing the Rubble Pile earlier, Gamenor made us be the human shields to block the meteorites.”

One person made a decision, having been fed up with Gamenor’s attitude but refraining from lashing out due to his status. Now that Gamenor was threatening him, it was better to break away from Gamenor completely.

Once one person took a stand, several others also refused to help. They shared the same feelings as the first person, having been used as shields and feeling resentful. The more miserable Gamenor’s outcome, the happier they were, knowing that they wouldn’t be held responsible since they weren’t the ones who attacked.

Gamenor couldn’t believe it and widened his eyes, “You won’t regret it? After this, I’ll make sure to get back at you. I’ll gather all the Throne-level experts from my family and intimidate your families.”

“Go ahead. No matter how powerful your family is, they can’t just wipe out our clans for no reason. And this is a matter between families; we’re just individual cultivators within them. Why should we risk ourselves for this?”

One person scoffed and no longer wanted to hear Gamenor’s ramblings. They took ten steps back to express their position. Four or five people followed suit, just like the others.

As for the remaining four or five people, they lost half their strength and originally wanted to help Gamenor but now had to reassess the situation. What difference would a few more people make against Logan? Logan’s attacks and divine abilities were too sharp, and they could easily lose their lives if they weren’t careful.

After a brief moment, they all chose to step back. It was better to offend Logan than continue supporting Gamenor. After all, this took place in the Secret Land, and Gamenor’s family wouldn’t be able to provide help anytime soon.

To put it bluntly, if Logan killed Gamenor and the other ten-plus people, it would just be a speck of dust in the Secret Land, and no one outside would ever know. Even if Gamenor’s family wanted to investigate the truth, no one would know what happened.

Gamenor’s heart went cold, and he realized that he could only rely on himself. The others were just useless, and his Qi and Blood and Dantian were already depleted. The strength he could utilize now was less than one percent of his peak state.

He couldn’t even defeat Logan during his peak, let alone his current state. It seemed there was only one path left: either be killed by Logan or surrender to him.

The proud Gamenor was unwilling, but he didn’t want to die either. So he had no choice but to kneel down. This scene deeply shocked everyone, who couldn’t imagine that Gamenor would be so weak and pitiful.

“I now see the error of my ways and sincerely apologize to you. I hope you can spare my life. After all, I’m a high-ranking Overstep cultivator with a long road and future ahead of me.”

Logan laughed, shaking his head at Gamenor’s apology. “If you weren’t being defeated earlier, would you have spared me? I might be in an even more miserable state now.”

“Besides, you don’t need to pretend. If I let you go, you’ll definitely hunt me down once you leave. I know your family is far from simple, and they could easily send out a dozen Throne-level experts.”

Logan stretched lazily and approached Gamenor. “Tell me, do you think I can let you go? I warned you repeatedly before, but you refused to listen and insisted on killing me. Now, you’re just reaping what you’ve sown, underestimating the power of someone in the Myth realm.”

“No, never.” Gamenor shook his head frantically. “I swear that if I can survive this, I will worship you as a god and make sure never to speak of this again. Any treasures or opportunities you want, I’ll give you.”

A sigh ran through the crowd of onlookers who couldn’t imagine that the formerly domineering and arrogant Gamenor could be so pathetic and weak now. This had completely overturned their impression of him. It seemed that no one could escape misfortune when faced with threats to their lives, and they would be willing to abandon everything.

Naturally, no one dared to speak up and plead for Gamenor in front of Logan. They weren’t in a position to do so, and they had even considered helping Gamenor earlier. They were relieved that they had hesitated and didn’t express their empathy, or else it wouldn’t be just one person kneeling, but many of them.

Gamenor, filled with hatred and resigned to his fate, decided to use his last resort: to drag Logan down with him. Since Logan would not spare his life, Gamenor would take Logan with him to hell.

He activated a mysterious rune in his hand and sent it to Logan’s side. At that moment, Gamenor also recited the Blood Sacrifice Law, intending to use his life to bring down heaven’s thunder and suppress Logan.

However, Logan wasn’t clueless. He directed all his strength towards one strike and slashed the rune away. The backlash hit Gamenor, who spit out a mouthful of blood and collapsed. He lay there without moving for a long time, and everyone became aware that Gamenor was probably dead.

One person went to check and found that Gamenor had no pulse. His entire Dantian was shattered, and even if he survived, he’d become a cripple, unable to resume his cultivation path in this lifetime.

Everyone sighed, relieved that they hadn’t offended Logan earlier. Gamenor’s fate served as a warning to everyone, never to underestimate cultivators of a lower realm than themselves. After all, they couldn’t guarantee that the person they offended wouldn’t be someone like Logan.
