Chapter 658: Directly Ascending to Godhood
Ding!
[Detection: Host has successfully slain the level-100 Ghost Generals Jade Bottle Man and Bloodthirsty Child. Congratulations on exceeding the system task 'One Battle to Ascend to Godhood'!]
[Rewards will be issued after the conclusion of this final battle.]
[Please look forward to it!]
At this moment…
After slaying the level-100 Ghost Generals…
The system's notification promptly rang in Ling Zhan's mind.
The task 'One Battle to Ascend to Godhood' required Ling Zhan to slay one level-100 Ghost General.
Now, having slain two…
He had undoubtedly exceeded the task's requirements.
The system's rewards would naturally be extraordinarily generous!
Ling Zhan had a strong premonition that this system reward would bring about a monumental transformation in him!
After all, his innate talent had stagnated since the conclusion of the Global Beast Battle Tournament.
No matter what, this was Ling Zhan's first successful kill of level-100 combatants.
It was time for him to receive a breakthrough reward.
"Haha! Slaughter God, Slaughter God! Did you see that?"
"Your pitiful subordinates have been slain!"
At this moment…
In the supreme battlefield above the heavens…
General Li and General Lost broke into hearty laughter.
"Damn it! Such useless trash!"
The Slaughter God cursed in a grim tone.
The other level-100-plus Ghost Generals also wore expressions of extreme displeasure.
They had been fighting desperately to hold off General Li and General Lost, hoping for Jade Bottle Man and Bloodthirsty Child to break open the ground battlefield.
And the result?
Not only did they fail to breach the battlefield, but they were slain by a mere non-specialist!
Absolute trash!
Utterly disgraceful among level-100 combatants!
They couldn't fathom how two level-100 Ghost Generals could be outmatched by a level-97 non-specialist!
Now, it was over.
Already at a disadvantage, they had no choice but to reluctantly retreat from the Blazing Heart Empire's territory.
The Multi-Mouthed Woman had already been forced to reveal her true form.
It was clear that on the ground battlefield, the Hundred Ghost Army was being decisively annihilated.
The Reserve Team and the regular army resisting the Ghost Slave Army, upon learning that Ling Zhan had slain two of the enemy's level-100 generals, saw their morale skyrocket.
What followed was an inevitable steamroll.
Even the soldiers stationed at the city walls felt confident enough to charge onto the battlefield, slaying Ghost Slaves and collecting the spoils of victory.
In just half an hour…
The Hundred Ghost Army's combat strength was reduced to less than 10%.
Countless Ghost Generals attempted to flee but were mercilessly intercepted and killed.
Another half-hour passed…
On the ground battlefield, the allied armies of various nations emerged victorious, annihilating the Hundred Ghost Army entirely.
"Retreat!"
The Slaughter God wasted no time. Ever cautious, upon witnessing such a disastrous outcome, he had no intention of stubbornly continuing the fight against General Li and General Lost.
What a joke!
He had no reinforcements!
If General Li's side gained just a few more level-100 combatants, they might actually trap him here permanently.
Being utterly self-preserving, he would never willingly die here.
A rift appeared behind the Slaughter God.
As the level-100 Ghost Generals retreated, they left behind a parting threat.
"Damn humans! Just you wait! This deity will return someday!"
General Li and General Lost did not pursue. Instead, they let the enemy retreat.
They understood that even if they pursued, they wouldn't be able to kill these level-100-plus Ghost Generals.
And excessive pursuit might lead them into peril instead.
"That kid… he's surprised us again!"
General Li remarked with a face full of joy.
Initially, General Li's expectations for the Reserve Team were merely for them to hold out against the attacks of Jade Bottle Man and Bloodthirsty Child.
Once reinforcements arrived from the allied armies, victory in this battle would have been secured easily.
But Ling Zhan outright killed the two generals!
An unexpected surprise within an unexpected surprise!
Turning what could have been a prolonged battle into a crushing victory!
"No need to think about it; this kid is guaranteed to take the top spot on the Fusang Battle Zone's Honor Roll!"
"To slay two level-100 Ghost Generals single-handedly at level 97 is a first for the Fusang Battle Zone!"
"It's undeniable!"
General Lost also praised Ling Zhan.
To be honest…
Even General Li and General Lost, when facing Jade Bottle Man and Bloodthirsty Child, couldn't guarantee they'd slay them.
The reason was simple…
These two Ghost Generals wouldn't even think about fighting General Li and General Lost.
Their only thought would be to escape.
Knowing they'd be crushed regardless, their best option was to flee immediately.
Slaying two level-100 Ghost Generals secured Ling Zhan's place as a battle god on the Fusang Battle Zone's Honor Roll!
Woooo!!
At this moment…
The sound of war horns echoed.
Signaling the Blazing Heart Empire's battle had finally come to an end.
On the plains battlefield, countless Ghost Slave corpses littered the ground, the stench of ghost blood pervading the air.
Teams responsible for clearing the battlefield and collecting spoils of war were deployed by the allied armies.
With the Slaughter God's retreat, the eastern war zone of the Blazing Heart Empire was fully reclaimed.
All that remained was dealing with the cities transformed into core ghost nests.
"This non-specialist has truly ascended to godhood! Single-handedly killing two level-100 combatants!"
"Exactly! That's why we call him Ling God! Even his online fans call him that!"
"At first, I thought the title was so cringeworthy, but now I can't help but sincerely call him Ling God!"
"To slay level-100 combatants at level 97! Who else in the world could achieve this?"
"Another legend created!"
In Gewot City…
The super metropolis, silent for so long, regained its prosperity thanks to today's victory.
Many civilians reopened their shops.
Taverns, stores, and guilds were gradually returning to their former liveliness.
Countless soldiers sat in taverns and restaurants, drinking and boasting about today's events.
After this battle, Ling Zhan's name undoubtedly rose to another level in everyone's hearts.
They already regarded him as a level-100 powerhouse!
This man is truly incredible!
To be honest…
Before this, no one believed he could challenge level-100 combatants!
But the fact is, he accomplished it so effortlessly!
Four shots settled it!
The first two bullets took the first life of the Ghost Generals.
The next two bullets claimed their final lives.
Jade Bottle Man and Bloodthirsty Child didn't even have a chance to struggle or resist.
Even though they activated shields immediately upon revival…
The bullets still pierced through their heads.
This was a direct ascension to godhood!
