Chapter 944: Han Hao vs Andrina (1/2)

Soon, Tyre, Wasir, Logue, and Ossora returned to the Omphalos. Just as Han Hao expected, they failed to capture Dagmar.

After Dagmar flew out of the Omphalos, there were no longer any boundary or energy towers stopping him from using a Portal Scroll. By the time that the four Sovereigns found Dagmar, he had already crossed the spacetime tunnel and the spacetime fissure was gradually fusing back together.

The four were a tad late and could only watch as Dagmar escaped. But nonetheless, Dagmar had paid a hefty price for his reckless intrusion of the Omphalos. The divine bodies of nearly all his most elite highgods were annihilated and he had suffered injuries after Wasir’s frigid aura entered his body.

After this incident, Dagmar’s power and forces had sharply declined. It could even be said that Dagmar would no longer be much of a threat to the Sovereigns in the coming war for the Fringe. Dagmar suffered the consequences he deserved for his irrational and foolish actions.

By the time that the four Sovereigns returned to Han Hao, Nestor, the Overgod of Death, had left the area disappointedly. They did not know that Nestor had visited Han Hao while they were away.

No matter the grudges between them, as the Sovereigns, it was only proper that they visit the Fringedweller victim of an attack carried out by an outsider inside the Omphalos.

“Han Hao, are you alright?” asked Ossora. He appeared as though he was very worried.

“I’m fine. Did you guys get Dagmar?” Although it was obvious from the dejected looks on their faces that they had failed, Han Hao knew enough of societal norms to ask the obvious.

Ossora shook his head in a grimace before he sighed and said, “Dagmar is so ruthless that he would sacrifice the bodies of his followers. The Corpse Explosion deployed on multiple highgod divine bodies was powerful enough to cause a crack on the barrier around Omphalos, allowing him to escape. Otherwise, we would have surrounded him and he definitely wouldn’t still be alive now!”

“Oh, what a shame. If only some of you had come to the scene sooner…” said Han Hao as he glanced at Tyre and Logue. He then said to Ossora, “But, anyway, a really strange guy came to me just now. He examined me thoroughly with his soul before leaving and shaking his head. I wonder who he is…”

Tyre and Logue’s face simultaneously jolted and the two exchanged looks. Logue then put on a mischievous smirk and asked Han Hao, “A guy probes you with his soul but leaves without a scratch? That is very strange indeed! I’m very surprised to learn that. Since when have you turned into a pacifist?”

“Well, I have no clue who that guy is, but I can be certain that his command of the death energy surpasses even yours,” Han Hao looked at Logue with an emotionless face as he calmly said, “I know that I have no way of resisting such a mighty existence, and thus silent cooperation is my only option. Hmm, I’ve heard that Lord Logue was also visited by a very powerful stranger. I could not be sure of the merits of rumors, but it sounded as though Lord Logue was much more… cooperative than I was?”

Logue’s face turned rather dark after hearing Han Hao’s comeback. He let out a cold groan but did not reply. Logue knew from Han Hao’s words that the mysterious visitor was the Overgod of Death. As he had not learned from Tyre that Han Hao possessed the Quintessence Shard, he wasn’t all that surprised that Han Hao survived the visit.

Wasir and Ossora also did not suspect anything. They were just rather surprised that the Overgod of Death was so mighty that He could learn about Han Hao’s appearing at the Omphalos so quickly.

Only Tyre had a pensive look. He looked deeply at Han Hao, as though wanting to see everything in Han Hao’s body and soul.

Why? Why didn’t He kill Han Hao? Could it be that Elder Brother got it wrong? How is that possible? Tyre was very shocked and confused. He thought that Han Hao would be slaughtered when the Overgod of Death visited him and found the Quintessence Shard on him.

“If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave,” Han Hao did not continue feigning civility with the Sovereigns after obtaining the information he wanted from Tyre and Logue. He stood up and instructed Polo, “Let’s move.”

Han Hao then left the scene. Before he left, he stealthily took a glance at the ice-cold Wasir.

“Let’s disperse. If Dagmar dared intrude the Omphalos all by himself, then it must mean that the Godhunter Alliance will attack very soon. Time to go back to our bases and standby to face the invasion!” said Tyre before also taking his leave.

***

As soon as Han Hao left the region, he went to the House of Han Sovereign Shop with his gang under the pretense that he wanted to purchase Celestial Pearl’s medicines but using Han Shuo’s secret chamber in actuality.

Han Shuo and Han Hao had kept their relationship so secretive that even ordinary House of Han servants had no clue about it. The manager of this Celestial Pearl branch, however, was aware of the secret. After politely leading Han Hao to the secret chamber, he dismissed himself and instructed their private security to watch out for intruders.

Han Hao had selected this secret chamber where Han Shuo usually used for cultivating when in the Omphalos because it was protected by unique formations and matrices. When inside, he won’t have to worry about being spied on or disturbed.

After sitting crossed leg on the mat, Han Hao gradually opened up his soul while concealing the aura on his body.

At this moment, his main body, located far in the Destiny Dominion, was also sitting cross-legged. His eyes suddenly opened and shone with strings of tiny inscriptions flashing through his pupils. A bizarre energy began emanating from his body, affecting the element of death in the environment…

Nestor the Overod of Death had yet to leave the Omphalos. His head was lowered as he racked his brain, wondering if he had missed something. Then, suddenly, his eyes lit up and he stared in the direction of the Destiny Dominion.

Han Hao was the last person on his list. When Nestor discovered no Quintessence Shard on Han Hao, he was incomparably disappointed. He even started doubting his investigative skills. He couldn’t understand why he yielded nothing even though he had examined every energy of death experts in the Fringe.

The sudden activation of the Quintessence Shard in the Destiny Dominion had jolted Nestor. His eyes glistened as he mumbled to himself, “So it turns out that the fella had left the Fringe… Yes, of course it would… How would he have the guts to stay here when he sensed that I’m nearby?”
