Chapter 11 - Brother, I Really Need You Right Now
The black mist receded, and the Hollow Crisis vanished.
Inside the ruined residential complex.
The members of the Six Saint Sanctuaries were dumbstruck as they gazed at the scene before them.
The buildings in the complex had all collapsed!
The ground was cracked and filled with potholes.
Especially eye-catching was the massive crater in the center.
As if it were a trace left behind by a comet impact.
"Captain... Captain Zhou, what... exactly happened here?"
A player named Xiao Li, who was wearing the uniform of the Six Saint Sanctuaries exclusive to the "Martial God Hall," looked at all this in shock.
"How would I know?"
Zhou Zhen swallowed his saliva and rolled his eyes at the man in annoyance.
Even as a high-level player at level 90, he couldn't help but sigh.
What kind of terrifying battle could create such a magnificent landscape?
"Boss, the detection results are out. The satellite shows that the remains of that Evil God are on... the moon."
At this moment…
An investigator proficient in mechanical classes ran over while holding a laptop. After taking a deep breath…
Only then did he stabilize his emotions and report aloud.
Their purpose here this time was to collect the remains of the Evil God. Even a tiny bit would do.
Because that had immense research value.
"The moon?"
Xiao Li blinked, looked at the sky, and suspected that he had heard wrong.
"Are you kidding? The moon is four hundred thousand kilometers away from here. How did the Evil God's corpse get up there!?"
Zhou Zhen angrily scolded the investigator on the spot, feeling that this guy was talking nonsense.
Not professional at all!
"This... Satellite surveillance shows that it seems... to have been blasted up there by a single punch."
? ? ?
Three big question marks instantly popped up above the heads of all the people listening.
What was this guy talking about?
"Can you pull up the stored data from the surrounding surveillance cameras to see that person's face?"
After a moment of silence, Zhou Zhen suddenly realized something and hurriedly pressed the investigator.
"I've already pulled it up."
Saying that, the investigator turned the laptop in his hands around and showed a slightly blurred close-up picture of an upper body to everyone.
It was a... Tiga radiating dazzling light from his whole body?
Everyone present fell silent again while looking at each other, and the question marks above their heads... became even bigger.
The scene shifts.
After a battle, Ye Mo felt a trace of fatigue, so he fell asleep quickly.
When he opened his eyes again, a luxurious and deep ceiling came into his view.
At this moment, Ye Mo was lying on his back in the bedroom, seemingly being pressed down by something warm.
"My great and lecherous Lord Demon God, you're finally awake. What a pity… If only you could have kept sleeping, then I could have galloped to my heart's content on this useless body."
A familiar voice sounded from in front of him.
Looking towards the sound, he soon saw a succubus dressed in a maid's outfit.
She had a smile on her lips, and her eyes were narrowed slightly.
Her peach-blossom pink heart-shaped eyes stared at him with a hint of infatuation.
Her pretty melon-seed face, paired with a head of long jet-black hair, appeared incredibly pure.
Any man seeing her would fall in love as if it were their first love.
But her mature-to-the-extreme graceful body was full of seductiveness.
It was extremely inconsistent with her pure face.
"Lilith, didn't I ask you to stand guard on the third floor?"
Ye Mo frowned and pushed the maid away without mercy.
His tone was filled with blame for her leaving her post without permission.
He wasn't in the mood to play with her right now.
He was in a hurry to bestow abilities upon himself and make money.
Women? They would only delay his speed of making money!
"I was just preparing to report to you. I caught a sneaky intruder on the first floor."
Seeing that Ye Mo had no interest in her right now…
Lilith stood up tactfully, adjusted her skirt, and stood aside.
Disdain flashed in the depths of her eyes as she reported resentfully.
"Intruder?"
Ye Mo instantly associated it with the people from the Six Saint Sanctuaries.
They probably sent cannon fodder to investigate the enemy situation.
"Is he dead?"
"Not yet. I handed him over to Archduke Death. He's probably been tortured to a mental breakdown by now."
Lilith reported.
"You did well. As long as you don't kill him, torture him however you want."
Ye Mo nodded in satisfaction. After giving her instructions, he ordered Lilith to withdraw.
As long as a player didn't die, they wouldn't be able to return.
"You, were you rendered impotent by that two-legged beast?"
Lilith sighed, her tone filled with resentment and jealousy.
Ye Mo ignored her and reached out to open the system page.
——————————————————
Congratulations, your Divine Envoy (Number 001) killed an Evil God in the New World, contributing 5000 Divine Points to you, as well as giving you authority for a "Berserker" Class Card.
Congratulations, you inherited the territory of the Evil God "King of Calamity" and obtained the A-Rank Dungeon: Minotaur's Lair
Note: Consuming Divine Points can build dungeons. If players from other factions die, you can obtain Divine Points. (This function unlocks at Divinity Level 3)
Hint: As a qualified God Lord, you must learn to dispense rewards and punishments clearly. You can focus on nurturing capable subordinates.
——————————————————
System notification boxes quickly flashed before his eyes.
"Build dungeons?"
Ye Mo paused, not expecting that gods could also build dungeons.
Could it be that the so-called dungeons were actually territorial disputes between gods?
"Need Level 3 to unlock. No rush to explore it for now."
Pushing aside such thoughts, he opened the Deity Panel to check it.
——————————————————
[Name: World-Destroying Demon God]
[Divinity Level: 1]
[Divine Points: 5000/1000 (Believers conquering other gods' dungeons or killing gods can increase Divine Points for you)]
[Number of Divine Envoys: 1]
[Number of Believers: 1]
[Currently Grantable Class Cards: God-Slayer Ghost Swordsman (SSS-Rank Warrior Path), Necromancer (SSS-Rank Mage Path), Berserker (A-Rank Warrior Path).]
[Hint: Your Divinity has reached the upgrade condition. After upgrading, you can obtain another exclusive Class Card.]
[Upgrade Divinity Level?
[Yes] [No]
——————————————————
"Yes!"
Ye Mo chose "Yes" without hesitation.
——————————————————
Congratulations, your Divinity has been upgraded to Level 2.
Obtained New Class Card: Spacetime Creator (SSS-Rank Control Path)
Note: Next level will unlock the "Equipment Blessing" function.
——————————————————
"Equipment Blessing?"
Ye Mo understood this quite well.
After an Agent crafted equipment, they could choose to request a blessing from the god.
Equipment would possess extra bonuses after being blessed.
"This Equipment Blessing... probably costs quite a lot of Divine Points."
While thinking this to himself, Ye Mo directly bestowed the "Indestructible Body" ability upon his main body.
——————————————————
You successfully bestowed the God-Tier ability "Indestructible Body" upon Divine Envoy (Number 001).
Note: If you bestow a "God-Tier" ability upon the same Divine Envoy again next time, an extra 1000 Divine Points will be consumed (stacks sequentially).
——————————————————
"Holy crap! Such a pitfall?"
Ye Mo was stupefied. He didn't expect that bestowing a God-Tier ability on the same Divine Envoy next time would actually cost 2000 Divine Points.
"No wonder so few people possess God-Tier abilities. It turns out that the cost of blessing is so huge!"
Ye Mo suddenly realized…
Killing a god himself only provided 5000 Divine Points.
Other methods probably wouldn't yield much either.
Now, upgrading his Divinity to Level 2, and bestowing a God-Tier ability cost him 2000 Divine Points.
3000 Divine Points remained in his panel.
If he wanted to upgrade his Divinity once more, it would cost another 3000 Divine Points, and it would be gone instantly!
He simply didn’t have enough to spend.
"I reckon except for myself, no god would choose to sacrifice their own interests for a believer."
Thinking of this, Ye Mo suddenly realized a problem.
The so-called gods might just be some powerful BOSSes possessing a system.
While players and Agents were just some humans possessing a system!
"I'll keep the last 3000 Divine Points for now. No rush to upgrade my Divinity."
Ye Mo sighed.
Upgrading Divinity, aside from allowing him to obtain "Equipment Blessing" and adding one more Class Card agency right, was of almost no help.
He still had to wait for his main body to level up before bestowing the "Heaven and Earth Return to Origin" ability upon it.
After settling everything, Ye Mo continued to turn on AFK mode.
Then he snapped his fingers and exited the dream.
Slowly opening his eyes, Ye Mo returned to reality again.
Buzz buzz buzz~
Just as he woke up, he heard his phone vibrating constantly on the bedside table.
Looking towards the sound, he saw the contact on it: Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Seems like that girl’s fine now."
Ye Mo chuckled lightly and answered the call.
"Brother... I really need you right now."
Hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's tremulous voice tinged with lingering fear, Ye Mo sighed helplessly.
That girl was still a tender young maiden after all.
It was normal to have trauma after escaping death. She was probably terrified.
"En, give me a location, I'll be there right away."
Ye Mo said softly.
He decided to bring the "Necromancer" Class Card to her first to comfort her young heart.
"Okay."
After hearing Ye Mo's voice, the emotions on the other end were clearly much more stable.

T/N - Well now, things are getting interesting. At least he can build a dungeon and then collect Divine Points in other ways. But the escalating cost of his blessings can stack up pretty high, and it’s not as if Evil Gods are common enough for him to farm. I wonder how effective dungeons are at generating DP?
