Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Sand city.

Office building, top floor, sixth floor.

The office that belonged to the divine power.

Crunch-!

A sudden, urgent sound of a door being pushed open rang out.

The swordsman pushed open the door and entered.

The moment I stepped inside, a sense of oppression hit me.

The entire office was a mess.

The ground was littered with papers.

Bright sunlight from outside shone through the windows, but was blocked by the thick curtains and could not enter the room.

The swordsman's face was grim, and his first words upon entering were a question.

"Divine Power, what exactly happened? Why did it take you a whole week to tell me!?"

The swordsman stared intently at the divine power behind the desk, his faint but uncontrollable aura emanating from it.

At this moment, Shenli was pale and had sunken cheeks. If it weren't for the fact that his clothes were relatively clean, he would have looked no different from a homeless beggar on the street.

Shenli, who was writing and drawing on the table, heard the knight's voice, put down his pencil, and looked up abruptly.

"...You're here. Come here, come here. I've already made a plan."

The swordsman looked astonished; those bloodshot eyes were deeply etched into his gaze.

The words of reproach in my heart were instantly extinguished by pity.

At the same time, he will encounter the six members of the Battle Axe Squad and will be saddened by their sacrifice, as will his divine power.

"Come here..."

Seeing that the swordsman was standing still, Shenli got up, walked around the desk, and pulled the swordsman to the desk.

"Look, this is all the information I've gathered. Many of the bodies there have gunshot wounds."

"Based on my judgment, within the Great Xia territory, the only people with such sophisticated weapons, capable of even slaughtering the Battle Axe Squad, are the Ancient God Church."

"Besides us, the only other people who know the weaknesses of the [Symbiote] are that guy who impersonated the leader last time."

Shenli pointed at the analysis chart on the table, muttering to himself incessantly.

"And this, look..."

Picking up another plan map, Shenli smiled, seemingly already envisioning the successful implementation of the plan.

“I have found several strongholds of the Ancient God Church. I have made up my mind that I will avenge War Axe and the others no matter what.”

The knight did not look at the so-called "plan map" in the divine power's hand.

He pulled over a chair and placed it behind Shenli, forcing him to sit down.

"You're only telling me this now because you were doing this?"

As the knight spoke, he reached out and took the "plan map" and several simple maps of the ancient god church's strongholds from Shenli's hands.

After a moment of silence, Shenli clenched his fists, and his cloudy eyes suddenly shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

"...Yes, we must take revenge. The association has suffered such a heavy blow; we cannot stand idly by!"

His divine power paused for a moment, and the scene of the six members of the Battle Axe Squad promising him that they would come back for dinner when they left flashed through his mind.

Anger surged within him, and his chest heaved violently...

Only after suppressing his rage did Shenli continue, "The Church of the Ancient Gods has chosen to attack us this time, and they will certainly not let this go!"

After quietly reviewing the plan devised by the divine power, Xia Ke admitted that it had taken him nearly a week to complete and that there were no major flaws overall.

However, Shenli was too eager for quick results and was blinded by the idea of ​​revenge.

The knight-errant himself deeply understands this point.

When his master died, his first thought was fear, but the more time passed, the stronger his desire for revenge became.

However, at that time, he did not have the ability and could only choose to lie low.

With his current divine power, he commands an organization of over two thousand people, so naturally he would choose to seek revenge immediately.

This is not difficult to understand.

However, the swordsman wouldn't let him do that immediately.

The power of the Church of the Ancient Gods is beyond imagination.

"Let's put the plan aside for now. With our resources, we can't..."

Boom-!

"What do you mean?! You don't want to avenge War Axe and the others?!"

The knight-errant's words were interrupted.

Shenli's eyes were bloodshot with rage as he slammed his right fist heavily onto the table!

The brand-new table that I just replaced a few days ago suddenly shattered.

"You want to squander all the wealth that the boss has worked so hard to accumulate?"

The swordsman's eyes were calm as still water, without the slightest ripple. "The foundation of the Ancient God Church is not something we can easily touch."

“You and I are only at the ‘Chuan’ level. Even with the addition of the ‘Wuliang’ Burning Heaven, we still have no chance to compete with the Ancient God Church.”

Upon hearing this, Shenli seemed to awaken from a dream.

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Chen Shu only had these [soldiers].

Given Chen Shu's personality, he would never actively allow his subordinates to recruit people from the Great Xia.

This has resulted in the number of [soldiers] in the association remaining stagnant during this period.

If all these people are killed in action, it will be difficult to recruit more soldiers.

Although the strength of the grassroots members within the association is all at the "zhan" level.

Yet they still couldn't shake the faith of the ancient gods' church and their "gods."

After figuring out the pros and cons, the hope that had been rising in Shenli's eyes gradually faded away.

As if all the strength had been drained from his body, Shenli slumped into the chair, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

He bears the main responsibility for the incident, and now his revenge plan has fallen through.

Presumably, once the eldest brother returns, he will no longer need to serve as the "second-in-command".

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late."

The chivalrous man said calmly, "I think it's time for us to follow in the footsteps of our leader."

"Get ready, we'll march into the fog in three days."

? ?

Shenli looked at the swordsman with blank, unsure of what he meant. "What do you mean?"

"Are you crazy?" the swordsman said calmly. "Improve your strength as soon as possible, so that when the boss comes back for revenge, we won't even be able to help you."

Upon hearing this, Shenli's eyes shone brightly.

When Chen Shu returned.

This is the time to take revenge.

"Let's leave now!"

Shenli suddenly stood up from the chair, the sudden exertion almost causing his weak body to fall.

"Alright, I have other things to do." The knight turned and walked towards the door, saying softly, "Remember to send some money to their family."

……

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The bitter cold quickly dissipated.

Spring is gradually emerging.

……

Summer.

A barren place.

Under the dark sky, rows of crows circled overhead.

Like the roar of thunder from a giant beast and the howling of the wind...

An ancient and magnificent church stands.

Inside the church, three enormous thrones of thorns stand in the center.

Two of the thrones were empty.

Only a man dressed in a black tailcoat sat casually on the throne on the right.

Below the throne, a man dressed in a blue robe stood casually.

Behind the man in the blue robe stood a tall man respectfully.

"Whispering, what are you doing now? I don't have time to play with you." The man in blue robes looked impatiently at the man on the throne above.

"Chen... oh no, Ji Lan, I have some good news this time."
