GDK 869: A gathering of experts
Salas’ followers were fleeing from the Pandemonium, trying to get as far as possible.
The battle between Ossosa and Salas had produced tremendous energy fluctuations. As they were overgods with similar strengths, it would take a while before a victor emerged.
The terrifying undulation of elemental energies had alerted many of the experts around the Fringe. They followed their senses and flew towards the Pandemonium, hoping to find out what was happening.
The tremendous shockwave shook the earth and penetrated deep underground. Han Tu, who was paving a tunnel for the Pandemonians to escape, suddenly stopped moving and closed his eyes to sense. It took him no time to understand what was happening above the Pandemonium.
Han Tu and the others had begun their evacuation before Ossora and Salas started their battle. They were currently under a plain that was hundreds of miles from the Pandemonium.
“It looks like we might not have to flee after all!” Han Tu seemed pleasantly surprised by something. He said to Goron, “I’m turning back to take a look. You and your men will stay here for now. Don’t worry, I believe Salas is now too occupied to deal with us!”
“Why? What’s happening?” Goron was confused. Although his strength was greater than Han Tu's, his sensitivity to the earth element wasn’t as great and he couldn’t sense the minute undulation of the earth element.
“Salas and Ossora are fighting! WIth Ossora’s help, Salas will be too busy to trample the Pandemonium!” explained Han Tu with a big smile before he started flying to the other end of the underground tunnel.
Han Tu took no time to reach Han Mu, Han Huo, Rose, and the others who were at the other end. He immediately informed them that Ossora and Salas were in a great battle.
As they were deep underground and a good distance away from the Pandemonium, they were clueless about what was happening above the Valley. Not even Han Mu could sense the soul undulation of Ossora. They were pleasantly surprised to hear the news from Han Tu and asked synchronously, “Really?!”
Han Tu nodded affirmatively and explained, “Only an expert at Ossora’s realm could produce such an intense earth energy undulation when utilizing earth energy. He must be helping us!”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s turn back and take a look!” said Han Huo cheerfully. He too turned around and flew back towards the Pandemonium.
The battle near the Pandemonium produced an extreme amount of shockwaves and explosions. Experts in the vicinity with strength above a certain realm could detect the energy fluctuation. In the entire Land of Chaos, there were only a few experts who could detect the disturbance from a great distance.
Every super-powerful expert who detected the battle between two overgods through the abnormality of elemental energies in the environment put down whatever that they were doing and rushed to the Pandemonium.
*** Near a volcanic crater, Han Hao was wearing a calm face while hiding in ambush against a powerful force.
The power commanded by Han Hao had substantially increased after he subdued Polo. It had grown to be greater than the majority of powerhouses in the Fringe. Only a few in the Fringe were in command of forces larger than Han Hao’s.
“What should we do?” Polo, crouching beside Han Hao, asked very softly.
Before them was a group of experts who served Sovereign Logue. It was led by a late-stage highgod of light. They were rather relaxed and not vigilant to their surroundings as no Fringedweller dared mess with them, until today.
Logue was known for his treacherousness in the Fringe. He was no less frightening than the vengeful Salas. Normally speaking, his followers could do whatever they wanted in the Fringe and no one would even think about attacking them. Even Polo who had lived in the Fringe for many years had never thought about attacking a follower of Sovereign Logue. Han Hao, however, decided to ambush one right after he agglomerated Polo’s faction into his.
“Kill,” commanded Han Hao without any hesitation.
Polo hardened his heart, turned around, and gestured. The godhunters received his command and descended from the volcanic crater. Those followers of Sovereign Logue were surrounded and immediately attacked without the chance to engage in inconsequential talks.
“We will join hands in killing that guy. This will be a smooth ride once he’s dead,” exclaimed Han Hao as he pointed at the arrogant-looking highgod of light.
“Understood,” replied Polo. He had learned to follow Han Hao’s command without question.
Han Hao and Polo emerged and, without uttering a word, they started attacking their target with their full strengths. The highgod of light, as expected, tried threatening them with Logue. However, Han Hao and Polo ignored his words and finished him in less than half a minute. All his troops were defeated by the godhunters and their divine energy was devoured.
While the godhunters relished in the joy of consuming divine energy, Han Hao suddenly bunched his brows. He raised his head towards the sky and closed his eyes. Moments later, he abruptly opened his eyelids and revealed a pair of sinister glowing eyes. He commanded, “I will give you all ten minutes before we start moving.”
