Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Tiger Lord emerged from the collapsed building, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Damn, that beast was pretty strong..."

Looking up at Chen Shu, Lord Tiger clenched his right fist. "You only managed to fight me with these despicable forbidden ruins. Without them, what are you?"

Chen Shu smiled and said, "Just say you're jealous. It's no use saying it anyway."

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! You're asking for death!!" Lord Tiger roared, unleashing even greater power than before, and slammed a heavy punch at Chen Shu!

Chen Shu's gaze sharpened. He had originally thought that this Tiger Lord was only capable of so little, but he hadn't expected him to have not used his full strength yet.

Luckily, I have a good temper; otherwise, if he had successfully provoked me, I would probably be in deep trouble.

Chen Shu also threw a punch! The two fists collided, and the enormous force caused both of them to stagger back two steps.

Lord Tiger glanced at his slightly trembling right hand, then looked at a man in the distance wielding a large cleaver. "Hey you over there, bring me the cleaver!"

Upon hearing Lord Tiger's words, the man immediately threw the knife at him.

"Damn it, I'm unarmed, and you're using a weapon?"

Chen Shu muttered something to himself, and the moisture in the surrounding air rapidly converged towards his position!

At the same time, the water glasses, kettles, and even the faucets in the surrounding rooms trembled slightly before bursting open, water flowing towards Chen Shu...

Within seconds, a puddle of water gathered at Chen Shu's feet.

"Playing tricks? Take this!"

Tiger glanced at the puddle of water, then nonchalantly charged toward Chen Shu with his sword.

Chen Shu stomped his foot hard on the ground, and a jet of water shot out from under Tiger Lord! The powerful force was like a heavy hammer hitting his body!

Spurred into the air by the water jet, the scattered bubbles burst instantly, like tiny bombs...

Lord Tiger crashed heavily to the ground, and it took him a long time to get up. His eyes were filled with disbelief. "Impossible! You're just a 'Pool' Realm cultivator..."

A round bubble floated rapidly above Tiger Lord, saying, "Nothing is impossible, you're just too weak."

"Wait! Wait a minute..."

Under Tiger Lord's horrified gaze, the bubble burst, and the seemingly ordinary water falling on Tiger Lord felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, causing the ground to collapse several feet.

Chen Shu glanced at the lifeless Tiger Lord, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Battle Axe, come with me."

Chen Shu walked towards Street One. Zhan Fu glanced at the messy street, shook his head, and followed him.

"Boss!"

Upon arriving at First Street, they encountered a vexed-looking Shenli.

"Perfect, no need to look for you anymore, Battle Axe, let's go to your place."

Battle Axe was somewhat confused, but he nodded nonetheless.

Upon arriving at War Axe's residence, the other members of the team immediately put down what they were doing when they saw Chen Shu.

"Master Chen."

"Master Chen."

"..."

Chen Shu first gestured for Shenli to close the door, then walked to a round table inside the room, jumped onto a chair, and sat down.

This table is probably used by their team to discuss battle plans or other matters. It's quite large, and there's plenty of room for eight people to sit down.

"Please sit down," Chen Shu said, looking at Zhan Fu and the others.

Battle Axe glanced at Divine Power, who nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "Sit down, I don't know what's wrong, Boss."

After Zhanfu and the others took their seats, Chen Shu extended a tentacle and swept it across the table, where six black spheres appeared.

These are all [symbiotic offspring] that Chen Shu has been nurturing within his body since he came to the Church of the Ancient Gods, just in case.

"I heard that your families are being watched by the Church of the Ancient Gods. Now, as long as you choose to pick up what's on the table and gain power, I will guarantee with my life that I will protect your families for the long term."

Battle Axe glanced at the things on the table, then looked at Chen Shu with a serious expression. "Lord Chen, what's going on?"

"It's nothing..." Chen Shu's gaze passed through the wall to the most luxurious castle in the city. "When someone gives me a gift, I have to return the favor."

Upon hearing Chen Shu's words, Zhan Fu finally realized that something big was about to happen in this city.

Turning his gaze to the rest of the team, Battle Axe said firmly, "Brothers, we've been accomplices to evil for so long, I want to take a gamble, just for a safe future for my wife and kids."

After saying that, Battle Axe picked up a black sphere from the table...

When the black spheres came into contact with the human body, they became active immediately, like fish entering water. After wriggling on the skin for a few seconds, they burrowed into the body of the tomahawk.

Shenli's face was grim as he looked at Chen Shu with a puzzled expression. "Boss, how come I remember swallowing it?"

"Ahem." Chen Shu pretended not to hear and looked at the others. "What about you? I won't force you, but you have to keep it a secret."

Upon hearing Chen Shu's words, the five people who had fought the mysterious figure without hesitation became hesitant.

After a long silence, the man with the halberd suddenly spoke, "I just want to know one thing: after I choose to be with you, will I have the chance to go home and see my family?"

"No problem." Chen Shu nodded. "There's only one thing: when I need you, you just need to be able to get to my side as quickly as possible."

"Hahaha, good!" Guan Dao Man laughed heartily. "Your words are enough. As for the Ancient God Church, I'm not afraid of them at all! I don't want to spend my whole life stuck in this lousy place."

Following Guan Dao's words, the other four team members also laughed.

"Yeah, instead of risking our lives every day, we might as well take a gamble. No matter how big the problem is, I'll do it!"

"We've been fighting side by side for two or three years now, and not one of us has ever been missing. I can't be left out this time either, let's do it!"

"The greater good of the nation is not my concern, so let's focus on ensuring the safety of my family first. Let's do it!"

"Hey, you guys, usually so burly, I didn't expect you to be so good at talking. You've said everything you needed to say, so I won't say anything more. Let's just get to work!"

"Great! Well said!" The crowd's words stirred up Shenli's blood, and he clapped his hands so loudly it shook the heavens.

Chen Shu watched as the six people picked up the [Symbiotic Offspring] from the table one by one, and the corners of his mouth turned up. "Alright, in the next few days, you guys should look for suitable candidates."

"The symbiotic offspring on your bodies are capable of producing offspring, one every three days. I need you to recruit as many daring people as possible for us within a month."

"???" Shenli looked at Chen Shu with a puzzled expression. "Boss, what's going on? It feels like we're about to go to war."

"Yes, sir, please tell us the specifics first, so we can find suitable candidates and make preparations as soon as possible." Zhanfu was also very puzzled, not understanding what Chen Shu was up to.

Chen Shu looked at the group and calmly uttered four words, "usurping someone else's place."
