Zen had always been observing the Evil God with the omniscient power.
He could hear the conversation between the Evil God and the downgrader as clear as day.
He tensed up and was on guard when he heard the downgrader mention Clarence. He knew very well the sort of temperament the Evil God had and how he could explode in a rage at any moment.
Now that the Evil God knew Clarence was in Zen's body, he would no doubt make a move. But Zen was ready for it, ready to react.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Evil God's eyes flashed in surprise at the sight of the broken energy ring.
It was not only Zen's quick reaction that had shocked him, but also the fact that the energy ring was the Controlling Field, and Zen should not have been able to combat the energy of the sixth-grade world.
That Zen could crush the Controlling Field with a mere gentle pinch was inconceivable.
The Evil God soon calmed himself; he also possessed the omniscient power. With a quick search through his mind, the image of Zen trying the energies of the higher-grade worlds came to him.
"How about we take this elsewhere?" Zen suggested.
"No need!" the Evil God replied.
Lightning flashed from one of his hands. Two triangular plates flashed with lightning.
"Lightning Weight!"
Boom!
The lightning that struck out from the strike of his palm was a million times brighter than the sun, and contained enough energy to destroy the Source World three hundred thousand times, let alone this courtyard in the fairy palace. It would have turned an Eternal Realm warrior such as Fuxi to powder by its immense power.
As the triangular plates made contact with Zen's body, a small Space Weight appeared in each of the four corners of the small courtyard. All the energy that had erupted from the Lightning Weight was sealed within the courtyard.
The fairy palace shook only slightly, and the Snake Goddess, Fuxi and the others didn't even feel it at all.
Zen noticed that the Evil God was about to make another move and stretched a hand towards the sky.
Splash!
The black ship crashed into the side of the fairy palace.
The Grandmaster of Heaven, Shera and Edna all looked on at the Snake Goddess and her companions in the fairy palace in a daze.
"Now why don't we go somewhere else?" asked Zen defiantly.
"Are you threatening me?" The Evil God's eyes burned with danger.
"What if I am?" Zen asked, grinning.
The Evil God had once not cared about anything, but things might have changed.
His figure silently and gradually vanished, instantly appearing at the other end of the chaos.
Zen knew his location by way of the omniscient power and appeared in front of him.
They were in an absolute void, where there was not even a speck of dust for trillions of miles.
"We won't need to hold back here," announced Zen.
However, the Evil God was in no hurry to make a move. He seemed to be lost in thought. After a long while, he said, "I will not kill you. All you need to do is ask Clarence to come out and let me devour him. I'm sure I'll find a way to end the downgrading from him."
Zen grinned, beaming with amusement, as if he'd been told a joke. Just as he was about to offer his retort, a light emerged from his eyebrows.
It was a gentle and soft ball of light, which made both Zen and the Evil God feel as though they were bathing in a spring breeze, calm and serene.
"You will not be able to find a way to end the downgrading from me. But you may still have a chance if you merge with Zen."
It was Clarence's voice that came from the ball of light. He did not seem angered by the Evil God's remarks, and instead attempted to patiently persuade him.
"It seems that you have this idea, too?" inquired the Evil God.
"Yes," answered Clarence.
"Then..." The Evil God's eyes sparked with an idea. "Let's fight with our own abilities then!"
Before he could get a response, he threw a hand towards Zen and a blood red vine shot out. This was the Cube energy of the ninth-grade world.
