Deus hovered in the air, looking down at the destruction he had caused. Flames still burned below, licking at the shattered ruins, while the stones and heavy bricks that had once been part of the mighty Ileus Temple no longer fell—they had already done their damage.
He raised a hand and sent a message—a telepathic transmission that echoed through the vastness of the universe—directed only at beings of Demi-god cultivation level and above. Gods and angels included.
"To ye and thou art of the Demi-god realm and above, a bounty hath been placed upon the god 'Ileus'. He was once my subordinate... and is now no more. Ye shall recognize him upon sight, for I have marked his soul with my bounty technique. Thou shalt strike only when he regains the strength of a Demi-god. Attack him not in his weakness—for failure shall result in the torture of the soul."
