351 Chapter 351: Threats

The god vein does not prevent any god from creating life on the planet and its selection of the new gods candidates are mostly at random. As long as they could build a stronghold here and the god of war can create new life on this planet, there is a possibility that one of its creations will become a candidate as well. To accomplish this task, the overseer was tasked with killing every guardian spirit host he could find. 

"The power to control the life element… While you give, he takes" The overseer said the last part while pointing a finger at Derik's direction.

"Light and darkness are two different entities all together… Good and evil cannot coexist…" The overseer said.

The overseer already had prior knowledge of the elements of the guardian spirit hosts, it failed to understand how two people wielding life and death elements could coexist and fight together. It's just like fire and water mages becoming the best of friends.

"Don't be stupid old man… Light and darkness are only two different sides of the same coin… Life needs death to coexist and death also needs life as well… they are inseparable! To maintain balance, the two must exist together as one!" Cyrus proclaimed while approaching the overseer who was constantly retreating.

"Using one's life force as a detonation device by overloading it… That is a seriously messed up ability you have there… unfortunately you are too late! If you tried to kill me with this ability five centuries ago, I probably would have died instantly but at this current moment… at our current levels and realms, I am not an opponent you can handle alone!" The overseer roared as he forcefully dispelled all the life energy flowing into him.

Unlike gold realm masters who practically had no control over their life force, the overseer was a demigod and has remained in this realm for centuries. Its control over its life force and aura are at levels which Cyrus and Derik cannot imagine!

"Heee? You are even more capable than I expected… I might have to take you out the normal way then" When Cyrus was done speaking, he was already standing right in front of the overseer.

Seeing the overseer was yet to move or speak, Cyrus concluded the ancient orc was stunned by his majestic power. That was the only reason the overseer was yet to attack him or even reply but in reality, the overseer was only lost in thoughts. Since his face was hidden within his hood, Cyrus couldn't see the ugly expression wore at that very moment.

The ability to adjust one's height and size is something reserved for only beings that have surpassed the realm of mortals, that's the demigod realm. The fact that Cyrus was able to utilize this ability meant he was at the demigod realm, at least that's what it should be but looking at him again, the overseer was very sure Cyrus was still at the peak grade of the gold realm! He was still a mortal, then how? 

Normally a being like an overseer who has lived just as long as the guardian spirits wouldn't be worried about gold realm masters taking half a step into the demigod realm or just breaking into the demigod realm entirely. No matter how they chose to look at it, these people are considered inferior to them since they lack centuries worth of knowledge and understanding of their realm that they have acquired since their creation. Not to speak of the power they have successfully accumulated since then!

In the end, overseers and guardian spirits didn't consider these people as threats, that's why Demos and Samael weren't flustered when they were ambushed by two wingmen demigods and the angel Michael who was also a demigod. In fact, even if they were double their number, Samael and Demos wouldn't even complain, in their opinion, that could still be considered a fair fight but Derik and Cyrus' situation was quite different. Their position as the hosts of the guardian spirits has always granted them an advantage against foes of the same level or even a realm above. This advantage is what they have been making use of to suppress their enemies in the past but even then, this advantage meant nothing against guardian spirits and overseers. But now they have acquired their inheritance, it was a completely different story altogether. 

The difference between the mortal realm and the realm of the gods is just too vast. Even a newly born demigod can shatter continents if he or she decides to fight seriously. The power difference has always been so much that they are forced to leave behind all their worldly possessions and even family, just to join their fellow demigods. The world of mortals was no longer fit for them and for the sake of the mortals, these newly born demigods are bound with lots of laws and rules. Even a being as powerful as Demos is bound by such rules! Rules that even he is afraid to break since even other guardian spirits agree with this.
