“Why don’t you admit defeat, boy? Do you still think you have any chance of winning?

“Don’t even try to convince me that you can go on. You don’t even have any means to save your life now. Even if I stop attacking you, you’ll just die from excessive blood loss. You, humans, are truly fragile creatures.

“Of course, don’t even think about escaping. It’s obvious that I won’t let you escape.”

The God of Death, Arthas, laughed sinisterly as he swayed with the scythe in his hand.

Timus, on the other hand, stared at Arthas. The Greatsword of Meredith in his right hand suddenly transformed into a staff!

Arthas could not believe his eyes as he watched this scene unfold. He revealed a surprised expression as he had never thought that the weapon in Timus’s hand was actually an unattainable treasure.

Even as a God, Arthas had never seen a weapon that could change its form like this one. Under Arthas’s astonished gaze, a ball of light slowly seeped out of Timus’s Staff of Meredith and flew towards his wounded shoulder. It flowed like a drop of water that seeped through the gaps on his wound. The further the water flowed, the more closed his wound became. Bit by bit, Timus arm had been healed by this magic drop of water, and his excessive bleeding had stopped!

“I didn’t expect you to know healing magic. For a human, you’re considered pretty good.” Arthas generously complimented Timus. However, he changed immediately changed his tone. “Of course, if you think that you can beat me now that you’ve stopped the bleeding, then you are too naive.”

As Arthas spoke, he peeked and glanced at the black book in his left hand.

The Law! This book was too powerful!

Arthas had lived for too long, perhaps tens of thousands of years, or perhaps hundreds of thousands of years, so long that he could not keep count anymore.

However, throughout his whole lifetime, he had never seen such a powerful item. The reason why Arthas could obtain such a powerful amplification in this battle was because of The Law book in his hands.

Every God could release their own divine sense clone or a phantom projection. The divine sense clone or phantom could not be attacked, but it could attack the creatures of the lower realm.

Gods were not omnipotent, but they could guarantee that they could never be killed by the lower realm creatures. Of course, under normal circumstances, a God would not be killed by the lower realm creatures. That was because Gods had an advantage that the lower realm creatures did not have, which was the Godhead.

The difference in Godhead allowed Gods to have the strength to crush the lower realm creatures. The difference between having a Godhead and not having a Godhead was huge, just like the difference between Heaven and Earth.

This was the privilege of a God, as well as the pride and dignity of a God.

However, Timus was different. Arthas was very clear that the young man in front of him was Timus, the one who had defeated Ragnaros.

He was also very clear that this young man was not a simple human, but… a Demigod!

Although Timus did not have a complete divine personality, he could do things that ordinary creatures in the lower realm could not. For example, he could attack the true body of a God! At the same time, he could ignore the ‘crushing’ power of a God. Were a God to come into contact with a Demigod, the advantage of being a God would be completely gone.

If Timus had complete divinity, he could even freely enter and leave the divine realm. Moreover, he could even have his own divine realm island.

Not only that, it was even possible for him to become God.

…

What if this Demigod’s strength was even stronger than that of a God?

Then, in the eyes of a Demigod, there would be nothing special about a God!

This was also the reason why Timus could defeat Ragnaros. Timus was powerful and possessed a divine sense. Under such circumstances, Arthas would definitely not be able to win against Timus. He should not have chosen to become an enemy of Timus. Escaping obediently would have been his best choice.
