Chapter 905: Yarus (1/2)

GDK 905: Yarus

Of all the cities of the Darkness Dominion, the City of Gorging Clouds was without a doubt the strongest. The city had a large number of powerful experts and a great number of highgods.

The City of Gorging Clouds was substantially stronger than Hushveil City and the City of Shadows, combined. If compared to the family clans in the City of Gorging Clouds, Wallace’s House of Sainte would rank in the top few in strength but it would pale in comparison to Yarus’ House of Broadhurst.

There had been hearsays circulating around Elysium that Yarus, the City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds, had ascended beyond highgodhood. Yarus was a rather low-key character. As he had delegated many of his work to his family members, it was rare for people to come into contact with him. Additionally, those few who had the opportunity to meet him could not tell the difference between a highgod and an overgod from his aura. For these reasons, the hearsays always remained as nothing more than hearsays.

But that might change soon. Han Shuo, standing near the Broadhurst Residence, immediately realized that Yarus had indeed reached the realm of overgod from the power of the boundless darkness shrouding the Residence.

The elements of darkness that were lingering above the Broadhurst Residence were of Yarus’ doing. There were energy towers erected all over the Residence that functioned as darkness element collectors. Yarus and other cultivators of the darkness energy would benefit from the higher concentration of the darkness element.

Han Shuo’s original plan was to immediately sneak into the Broadhurst Residence and kill Larikson. But after sensing the powerful aura of darkness, he halted in his track and lightly bunched his brows.

If there wasn’t this overgod expert called Yarus, Han Shuo could intrude the Broadhurst Residence with complete stealth, assassinate Larikson, and retreat with ease. But Yarus turned out to be stronger than Han Shuo had expected. With the overgod barrier deployed around the Residence, it was practically impossible for Han Shuo to get inside noiselessly.

If he was found intruding on the Broadhurst Residence, he will most likely face the attack of Yarus. It wasn’t that Han Shuo was afraid of Yarus, but alerting Yarus could completely ruin Han Shuo’s plan. With Yarus, an overgod, and many other Broadhurst highgods, not to mention the environmental advantage, Han Shuo’s chances of killing Larikson was minute.

But worst of all, his trail would be exposed and everyone would know that he had returned to the Darkness Dominion. Wallace and Hofs might go into hiding. In summary, it will really mess up Han Shuo’s plan.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Han Shuo decided not to intrude on the Broadhurst Residence but to wait for Larikson to leave his house before striking.

Han Shuo withdrew and went to a local Information Broker to purchase the news about Larikson. He learned that Larikson was indeed inside the Broadhurst Residence and he had been inside the City for a while now.

After obtaining the information, Han Shuo returned to the outside of the Broadhurst Residence and patiently waited for his prey to come out from its rabbit hole.

Three days later, in the evening, Larikson and a few divine guards of the House of Broadhurst finally left the house. They were heading straight for the nearest city gate as though they had some sort of mission.

Midway into their journey, Larikson suddenly felt a sense of danger.

“Ello, Larikson! Hehe, great to see you again!” Han Shuo’s voice sounded as he abruptly appeared before Larikson.

“Ah shit,” exclaimed Larikson. Before his voice had even faded, one of his space rings let out a strong burst of light and tore the spacetime in front of him. Larikson shot into the spacetime fissure instantly.

Han Shuo did not expect Larikson to be such a coward, that he would immediately escape by tearing spacetime before they had even exchanged a sentence.

Han Shuo knew that it was too late to attack now. He let out a cold groan and shot into the space-time fissure after Larikson.

He entered a strange dimension filled with dazzling lights. And when Han Shuo warped out to the other side, he found himself under layers upon layers of barriers. He saw a large number of gods wearing sneering faces - Larikson, Hofs, and Wallace were among the crowd!

His consciousness pulsated and he sensed the boundless darkness above him. Immediately, he realized that he had fallen into a meticulous trap of his enemy.
