Meanwhile, Darren went back to the edge of the ancient divine ruins.
There, he noticed that Ennis was still trying his best to fight against Dickens and his guards.
Everything within a span of tens of thousands of kilometers was destroyed. The space had collapsed and black windstorms swept in the area.
All of a sudden, Darren came out of nowhere.
"Darren, where is that bitch Maria?"
Dickens asked as he had a hard time standing up from all the injuries that he had sustained. On the other hand, the seven guards were almost on the brink of exhaustion from fighting.
"Actually, I have let her go," Darren said as calmly as possible.
"What?! Are you insane?" There were no words to describe how furious Dickens was after hearing Darren's answer.
"Yes. That means you can also stop now," remarked Darren.

But it was not until he reached that level that he truly felt his limit.
At the same time, he felt a sense of contempt towards everything in the world, which was a tad bit similar to what he felt when he was promoted to being a supreme god.
With his current strength, it was undeniable that he was still weaker than he used to be back when he was in the Primitive Wilderness.
On the other hand, as Darren released the godly energy, Ennis and Dickens were finally able to notice his movements.
"What a weakling! How dare you absorb the essence of the treasure right under our noses?" With his full attention plastered onto what Darren was doing, Ennis almost forgot about killing Dickens for a moment.
"That's Maria's share of the treasure! You're the one who took it!" Of course, Dickens was also furious to see that Darren was digging his own grave!
"All you ever did was treat me as if I were a nobody. Now, I'd like to see who you are!"
As his voice trailed off, Darren's face immediately darkened, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
