On the outskirts of the Amethyst Mountains.
Sadius had already quietly collected a considerable number of amethysts.
Since he always harvested less than ten pieces each time, no one had noticed.
Only Dylin stared wide-eyed as he watched Sadius darting around, occasionally producing yet another amethyst in his hand.
In just half a day, Sadius had collected over a thousand amethysts.
"Dylin, how's your haul?"
Sadius finally grew a little tired from gathering amethysts and paused to rest for a moment.
"My lord, I've collected… three pieces. My luck hasn't been great."
Nearby, a Midgod overheard Dylin's words and couldn't help but glance over.
Three amethysts and that's still "not good luck"? Most of them here were lucky to grab even one!
After all, nobody could predict when an amethyst would fly out of the mist or how many would appear.
Being able to gather three pieces was already very good luck—that was 21,000 inkstones.
After deducting the 5,000 inkstones entry fee, that was still 16,000 inkstones profit.
That was enough to refine over twenty Midgod artifacts!
Just then, a large cluster of amethysts suddenly flew out of the mist.
Sadius' divine sense extended much farther than the others, so he was the first to detect the massive cluster.
That cluster alone contained over ten thousand amethysts.
Without hesitation, Sadius shot forward.
Soon, the massive amethyst cluster came fully into view, immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.
Several Midgods charged toward it instantly. After all, that was over ten thousand amethysts, worth over a hundred million inkstones—who wouldn't be tempted?
"Get lost! This amethyst cluster is mine!"
One Midgod immediately attacked Sadius.
"Courting death."
Sadius didn't even bother moving.
Suddenly, countless sharp spines erupted from his body, shooting outward toward the surrounding Midgods.
This was a move from his true body's spiked armor form—a technique he hadn't used much since becoming a God.
Recently, while comprehending Gravitational Space and Earth Pulsation,
he had taken up practicing it again.
The spines whistled toward the surrounding Midgods.
They didn't even have time to dodge—each had a large hole appear in their skulls.
With Gravitational Space, Sadius could freely control the flight paths of the spines.
And within Earth Pulsation, there was a soul-attack component.
These Midgods couldn't withstand even a single move.
Their souls were instantly shattered, their divine clones annihilated.
Only a few were lucky—their Saint-level main bodies narrowly escaped destruction, allowing them to barely keep their lives.
As for the attacks those Midgods launched at Sadius?
They landed harmlessly on his body, unable to even scratch his defenses.
At his current level, ordinary Midgods could no longer pose any threat to Sadius.
He swiftly stored away the entire amethyst cluster.
Meanwhile, Dylin was already cleaning up the battlefield for him.
From ten fallen Midgods, they harvested a dozen-plus Midgod Divine Sparks, which were also worth a decent sum.
Seeing Sadius instantly slaughter more than ten Midgods in one move, the remaining Midgods, no matter how greedy, didn't dare make another move.
"My lord, seventeen Divine Sparks in total."
Dylin handed over the Divine Sparks.
"Keep them for yourself. I just got a huge amethyst haul. After we leave here, we'll go to Amethyst Castle and buy three Highgod Divine Sparks for Cleo and the others."
Dylin was overjoyed. His three sons would soon be able to become Highgods!
"Thank you, my lord!"
Soon, the outskirts of the Amethyst Mountains returned to normal. Everyone continued waiting for more amethysts to appear.
"Come on, let's find a tavern and have a drink. That's enough for today."
The two left the area. There were indeed taverns at the outer edges of the Amethyst Mountains—Midgods who had good luck and gathered plenty of amethysts often treated friends to delicious fruit wine.
Sadius and Dylin entered a tavern. Sadius paid for two cups of fine fruit wine, and the two drank leisurely.
"Dylin, don't you feel like life has become a little… dull since we came to the Infernal Realm?"
"My lord, you mean because there's no real combat?"
"Exactly. You always understand me. These past days, we've run into some bandits…but there hasn't been that real blood-boiling battle feeling."
"Haha, my lord, with your strength, even against five-star or six-star Highgod Fiends you're fine. How could mere Midgod bandits possibly be your opponents?"
"That's why… after we leave the Amethyst Mountains, I plan to find a place suitable for true combat—to fight freely, really let loose."
"I agree, my lord. After all, we're both training in the Edicts of Destruction. Combat is the best way for us to cultivate."
"Good. Then I'll ask Harsel and the others what they think—whether they want to stay quietly in safety, or join us in venturing out."
Meanwhile, at the Thunderwing Tribe.
Sadius' Destruction God clone stopped cultivating and called over the others from the Yulan Plane.
"My lord, what's the matter?"
Most of them had been cultivating and were curious why Sadius summoned them.
"We've been in the Infernal Realm for decades now. Everyone's been stuck in the tribe all this time. I think you're all getting tired of it. Does anyone want to leave with me and really explore the Infernal Realm?"
"Really?! That's great! We can finally leave this place!"
Liya immediately looked overjoyed.
"Liya…"
Nian gave her a small, hesitant reminder.
…
Liya instantly remembered something, then looked a bit embarrassed.
"Boss… could we maybe leave a little later?"
"Oh? Is there something wrong?"
Actually, Sadius wasn't in a hurry either—he still had to wait for his main body to return from the Amethyst Mountains, which would take some time.
"I… I'm pregnant."
…
Pregnant?
Liya was pregnant?!
Sadius suddenly froze in shock. Everyone else looked completely confused.
What's going on here?
Liya is pregnant, and the boss looks shocked?
Does that mean the boss and Liya…?
Did Nian just get cuckolded?!
No way—the boss isn't that kind of person, right?
"Pregnancy is good! Pregnancy is wonderful!"
Sadius' face broke into a huge smile.
"Nian, Liya—have you thought of a name for the child?"
"Uh… not yet. I only just got pregnant."
"Well then, make sure to take good care of yourself.
Oh, by the way—how about letting me be the child's Godfather?"
Both of them stared in surprise.
The boss… wants to be the Godfather?
Nian and Liya were both puzzled.
After all, the two of them were only Rank Nine magical beasts.
Even their child would at most be a Rank Nine beast.
Without an amazing stroke of fate, even reaching the Saint realm would be difficult, let alone becoming a God.
You had to know, in the original story, Bebe's daughter was a second-generation Divine Beast, yet even she found it extremely hard to become a God.
It just showed how hard it was for any magical beast to ascend.
At the side, Harvey suddenly started laughing uncontrollably.
"So… they're basically like our ancestor, huh? And you, boss, want to be that child's Godfather? Doesn't that mean—hahahaha!"
Harvey just kept laughing without stopping.
Sadius was utterly speechless.
Just wait until Bebe is actually born… you won't be laughing then.
