Blood oozed out of Othniel's heavily wounded body, which lay on the vast plain.
At that moment, the mountains collapsed, and the ground cracked. The land caved in as several cities and villages around his body crumbled.
The remaining survivors looked at his large body in horror. They did not know what happened and thought that the end of the world had come.
The faces of the Evil Gods who stood on Othniel's body began to blur and shrink back to their original forms. Their minds, which the Evil God had occupied, also returned to their original states.
They did not die; they didn't know what happened. When they regained their senses, they just stared blankly at the body beneath them.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"It's so big!"
"It's a Chaos Ancient God!"
There were many knowledgeable men among the crowd.
They recognized that the injured corpse belonged to the Chaos Ancient God, Othniel.
Then, did that mean that the Chaos Ancient Gods would also be killed?
Had the world gone mad?
The matter confused them, but it did not last long. They quickly realized something and exchanged greedy glances.
It was the corpse of a Chaos Ancient God! Both his flesh and bones were rare treasures!
They immediately cut and scraped the body with their bare hands; some of them even fought for it. They were like a group of ants that swarmed a beast's corpse.
Meanwhile, the black ship still floated in the air, and an Evil God climbed onto the deck.
He wore a black armor, which was the uniform of the guards in the Moon Shield City.
When Shera sensed his presence, she became alert and cautiously asked, "Are you... the Evil God?"
"Yes," the Evil God said with a cold smile.
Of course he knew what Shera wanted to ask.
The Evil God's body already perished. Based on Shera's reaction, the person in front of her was no longer the original Evil God.
"But you don't... This body is..." Shera said hesitantly.
"From the Source World's perspective, even you are me, and so is the former captain of the Black Ship," the Evil God said and pointed at the two of them. Lastly, he looked at Edna. "But she is not me," he continued.
He represented the Source World.
Therefore, everything that was born in the Source World belonged to him.
However, Edna was not born in the Source World. She came from Zen's inner world.
"You are my husband. No one can replace you!" Edna cried as she went up to the Evil God and clutched his arm.
She already knew that the Evil God had changed his body, but she would always be with him no matter what her husband became. Besides, he still looked the same as before.
"Wait a minute. You mean that all the creatures in the Source World can turn into you?" Shera asked.
She knew that the former captain wanted to ask these questions, but the Evil God had always been quite rude to him. After all, the Evil God was cautious around the Grandmaster of Heaven, who supported the captain. Thus, she had to communicate with the Evil God.
"Yes. The creatures born in and live in the Source World can do that," the Evil God answered.
"No limit to the number?" Shera asked again.
Shera and the captain had been utterly shocked by the excessive number of Evil Gods.
The Evil God's physical body did not reach the Eternal Realm. However, because of the Ways-blending Energy, he was more powerful than most of the Holy Soul Realm warriors and almost as strong as the Eternal Realm warriors.
Generally speaking, over ten thousand top-level Holy Soul Realm warriors already formed a really terrifying force.
If he turned all the creatures in the Source World into himself, it would be even more unbelievable.
"Theoretically, that is the case, but I can't do it now," the Evil God said with a shrug.
That was because over ten thousand people being transformed into him was his limit.
The Source World's power was not unlimited. The Evil God could only use a part of it, and it took time to recover if he used it up all at once.
If he drew more than what was allowed, he and the Source World would suffer considerably.
