“Where do you think you’re going?!”

Lorne waved his hand and grabbed at the divine sword.

Clang!

The divine sword produced a loud clang and attempted to resist, but Lorne was too powerful.

With the divine sword in hand, Lorne instantly felt a powerful aura coming from the sword. He was pleasantly surprised.

“Good sword!”

Holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, Lorne gently waved it at the endless sea in front of him.

Bang!!!

An arc of light traveled from the sword, and the entire sea began to boil.

A deep crack appeared in the ground, and even the seawater was forced to the sides by the forceful opening of a void in space.

Hiss! So powerful!

As he took in this scene, Lorne sucked in a breath of cold air. Although one-third of the divine power in his body had disappeared, it was a price well-paid.

The divine sword had a spirit, and it knew that it would not be able to escape, so it could only accept its fate.

“Don’t worry! In my hands, you won’t ever be mistreated!”

Lorne sized up the sword in front of him and spoke confidently.

Wuuuu!!

As if in response, the divine sword trembled slightly with a hum.

At that moment, three spots of light quickly rushed over from the distance, and a moment later, they landed beside Lorne. They were three middle-aged gods, but they reeked of some infernal divinity.

They looked at the divine sword in Lorne’s hand and revealed greedy gazes.

Lorne furrowed his brows tightly. He did not want to stir up trouble, so he planned to leave this place. However, the three gods spoke first.

“Wait! Who are you? Hand over that divine sword!”

The leader was a middle-aged man who blocked Lorne’s path. The three of them surrounded him and started threatening him.

“What a joke! Why would I give it to you if I got it first!” Lorne frowned and was very displeased.

“Damn it! This is obviously a divine artifact of our clan, and you have clearly stolen it! If that’s the case, then blame us for being impolite!”

The leader of the middle-aged men glanced at the divine sword and said in a low voice.

It was obvious that he was lying through his teeth. Lorne could not help but laugh in anger. When did gods become so despicable and shameless?

“Get out of the way!”

Lorne did not intend to argue with them and spoke directly.

“Kid, looks like you’re not going to give it to me?”

“If you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish!”

Lorn could not be bothered to talk nonsense with them at this moment. He had given them fair warning. Since they were courting death, he could not be blamed.

After saying that, he raised the divine sword in his hand and covered the sword with his power. The divine spark in his mind began to erupt with divine power. Immediately, the divine sword’s aura soared. The sharpness of the blade was so sharp that even space could not withstand it.

The very space around the three gods split apart.

The expressions of those three changed drastically. They had not expected such a young god to be so powerful. On top of that, he had been amplified by the power of the divine sword. They were starting to regret this. Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Three sword lights flashed. Lorn put away the divine sword and saw that the three gods had been unmade.

“You couldn’t even withstand a single blow! How dare you try to rob me? Who gave you the courage?”

Lorne spat on their corpses. He did not have much emotion about killing a god for the first time. He felt that a god was actually similar to a human, except that they had boundless life and powerful energy.

But what surprised him was that he instantly felt three more strands of energy in the divine spark of his mind, which made his divine spark crystal grow a little bigger and his strength increased a little.

“Could it be the energy from the three divine sparks that I just killed?”

Lorne guessed secretly.

A God’s divine spark was basically their soul, free from a physical vessel. If the divine spark was broken, there was a chance of them dying.

His eyes lit up at the thought of it. He felt that he had just learned a way to improve his divine spark. As long as he killed a god, he could obtain the energy from the other god’s divine spark and improve himself.

However, this would turn him into a killing machine, so he still suppressed the thought of indiscriminately slaughtering gods. After all, his current strength had already surpassed many gods. It was enough for him to protect himself.

Thus, Lorne set a rule for himself. Unless it was an enemy, he would not casually slaughter gods. That would only make him a slave to his own power.

It was very normal for gods in this world to die, not to mention during a divine war. Every day, countless gods would die, and countless gods would be born.

Therefore, he returned to the deserted island to recover his divine power. After all, although the divine sword was powerful, the divine power it consumed was even more terrifying.

…

In a palace far away, magnificence and divinity flowed through its halls.

A powerful god, who was in the process of improving his strength, suddenly opened his eyes. Vaguely, he sensed a powerful divine artifact appearing in the west ocean.

“Could it be an opportunity for me?”

The middle-aged god murmured.

Then, he disappeared instantly, leaving only a wave of fluctuation in the space.

This person was none other than God-King Cronus. He was in charge of the power of space and time and could tear through space itself, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

He entered the sub-dimensional space and traveled much faster than he would have the real world. It did not take long for him to arrive at the west sea. Following the senses in his mind, he soon arrived at the place where the divine artifact had been born.

After searching, he determined that the divine artifact had long disappeared.

“Could it be that the divine artifact has left?”

Cronus found it a little regretful. Suddenly, he found three corpses at the bottom of the sea, and his expression changed.

“There was a fight, and someone took it!”

Cronus was a little excited. If the artifact had been sentient and mobile, it could have left by itself, and things would be troublesome. However, it was snatched away by someone, it would be very easy for him to track.

“Hah, this is fated for me! As long as I can get it, even if Lorne helps Zeus, I will be perfectly fine!”

Thus, he directly used his divine ability to search a large area. It was countless times more powerful than radar and satellites.

Soon, he found a trace.

“Found you!”

Cronus rushed over excitedly.

On a deserted island far away, Lorne, who was recovering his power, instantly opened his eyes. He frowned and then stood up to look in a direction.

A god was rushing over.

“It’s you!”

After Cronus recognized the person, his expression changed and he was shocked.

“What was I thinking? So it’s you! It seems that you haven’t remembered the lesson from before? I once said, if you dare to use your perception to spy on me in the future, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”

Lorne stared at Cronus with a displeased expression.

“You… Lorne, don’t go too far!”

Hearing that, Cronus’ face turned ashen, but he was extremely fearful in his heart.

“Hmph! What of it?”

After saying that, Lorne directly raised the divine sword and soared into the sky, bringing with it endless power.

Cronus felt the sharpness and intensity of the weapon in Lorne’s hand and could not help but be stunned.. “You took the artifact?”
