Everyone took out the collected rule marks; this time, a total of six types of rule marks were gathered: two types from Gulemo Frances, one being the rule mark of the gospel deity, and the other being the rule mark of the giant god.
Received a rule mark from the deity of Insect Spirit, obtained a fire attribute rule mark from the Flame Warlord Samira, and acquired a life attribute rule mark and an earth attribute rule mark through a trade with the God of Truth.
Among the six types of rule marks, the life system rule mark is the most valuable as it is about to condense authority, while the earth system rule mark is the least valuable.
“Go ahead and explain how to differentiate them,” said Rebecca Romaine.
"In this battle, this god contributed the most and should naturally choose first," the Black Mountain Evil God said straightforwardly.
Simon frowned slightly, and the Black Mountain Evil God continued, "This god wants the divine rule imprint of the Gospel Church and that Earth rule imprint. Do you have any objections?"
“I agree.” Simon nodded. He indeed wanted the Earth Rule Mark, as it corresponded perfectly with his soil-based Doomsday Power, and it was possible to eventually condense it into Doomsday Authority. However, since the Black Mountain Evil God wanted it, Simon had no way to compete, and the Earth Rule Mark wasn't his top choice anyway, so he was fine with letting it go.
“I agree as well.” Long Sai Ao En nodded, and after a moment of hesitation, Rebecca Romijn also agreed. From the expressions of the two, it was clear that they were quite interested in the Mark of the God of Gospel.
“Well, then I’ll take it.” The black evil god contentedly accepted the two rule marks.
“Next, Simon, you can choose first.” Long Saiog said. Logically, it should be his turn to choose, as his contributions and losses were no less than those of the Black Mountain evil god. The reason for letting Simon choose first was to win Simon's favor; he still needed to support Simon in seizing the position of the Lord of Hell.
Simon looked at Rebecca Romijn.
“I have no objections; you can choose first.”
However, the Black Mountain Evil God raised an eyebrow, noticing the intention of Long Saiog and the others, but chose not to say much. He indeed had his eyes set on the rule mark of the Gospel God, which is why he was eager to get his hands on it.
“Thank you both, then I won't be polite. This Life Rule Mark is related to my Doomsday Lord God position, and I want it,” Simon said.
“Sure,” Long Sai Ao En nodded directly. As a Hell Demon God, he naturally did not need the Life Rule Mark, which is also the reason why the Black Mountain Evil God didn't take a more valuable Life Rule Mark.
Rebecca Romijn also nodded in agreement; the imprint of the life rules wasn't very useful to her, but this imprint, which was about to coalesce into the power of life, indeed had its value. If Simon didn't choose it, she might consider it herself.
Simon put away the Life Rule Mark and then said, "I have an unusual request; could I also have this Giant God Rule Mark?"
His desire for this Giant God Rule Mark was naturally not for himself, but for Paul. Paul had been advancing quickly in the Giant Sequence secret method and had made significant achievements on the path of giants. If he were to obtain the Giant God Rule Mark, he might very well become a demigod.
Long Sai Ao Ge and Rebecca Romijn frowned in succession as Simon took away the most valuable Life Rule Mark, which had already brought him the greatest benefit. Now he was going for the fairly valuable Giant God Rule Mark, which was truly a bit greedy.
Even Dragon Sai'og, who wants to build a good relationship with Long Sai, feels that Simon is a bit excessive.
“The Divine Mark of the Giant God should not be very useful to you two, right? My brother Paul fused with the blood of giants long ago and has been practicing the secret techniques created by the Giant God for the Giant Sequence. He has great talent in the Giant Sequence and is currently close to the high-level Knight King. His training time is even shorter than mine. If he had the Divine Mark of the Giant God, I believe he has the potential to break through to demigod level,” Simon said.
“That kid Paul is exceptionally talented and definitely suited for the Path of Giants. I wouldn’t say he’s at the very pinnacle in our world, but he certainly has a high level of potential. If he’s provided with resources and time, he indeed has the potential to challenge for demigod status,” the Black Mountain Evil God chimed in, correctly guessing Simon’s intentions when Simon sought the Divine Mark of the Giant, and naturally took the opportunity to do a favor.
“I agreed.” Rebecca Romijn spoke first, mainly because the Giant God’s Rule Mark was not suitable for her; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed so easily.
Long Siao Ge paused for three seconds. He did want the Giant God’s Rule Mark, as it could help him improve his strength to a certain extent. However, the Giant God’s Rule Mark was not his ultimate goal. After serious consideration, he eventually nodded in agreement, viewing it as a favor to seek the final position of the Lord of Hell.
Simon was overjoyed, clasped his hands in gratitude, and finally received the rule mark of the Giant God.
The remaining two rule marks were taken by Dragon Sayo, who took Samira's Flame Rule Mark, while the last Bug Spirit Religion God mark fell into the hands of Rebecca Roman.
And then there was the division of the originator's body. Simon benefited greatly from the rule mark, so he naturally gave up a large portion in the division of the originator's body and ultimately only obtained a small part.
Next is the corpses of the Super Knight King level. These corpses are of little use and value for the Black Mountain Evil God and the others, so Simon purchased them all.
Finally mentioned is the Evil Black Mountain Goat.
The Black Mountain Evil God also wanted the corpse of the Evil Black Goat. In the end, it was divided into four parts, one for each person. Simon's portion was smaller, as the rotting giant worms had eaten away a third of the Evil Black Goat's corpse.
What they were allocated was the most important loot of this battle. Of course, they will also get a share of the other loot, but that will wait until Simon finishes the final inventory.
After the distribution is completed, Simon will return to the fortress to oversee the situation. The Black Mountain Evil God and others will stay here for a while to prevent any unexpected incidents.
On his way back to the fortress stronghold, the high-ranking officials of the Human Federation Republic had already heard the news of their troops' annihilation. At this moment, each of them was anxious and at their wits' end, hiding in the conference room to discuss countermeasures.
“This must be the doing of that Doomsday God.” Someone became agitated.
“Not necessarily, isn’t it the demons who are behind this?” Others expressed disbelief.
“Demons? Hmph, you’re too naive. This entire demon war could very well be orchestrated by him. He might even have colluded with the demons. Even if he hasn’t colluded with them, it wouldn’t be hard for him to raise a batch of demons. I suspect he’s probably behind this incident.”
“No wonder he readily agreed to let us participate in cleaning up the battlefield; turns out he knew our people wouldn’t make it back at all. What a ruthless god of the apocalypse, truly despicable.”
“Everyone, the God of Doomsday is definitely going to swallow up all our powers. We must unite to resist him.”
“That guy has killed the Origin Deity and is even stronger than the Super Knight King level. Besides, he has three allies of the same level; what do we have to resist?” Someone expressed concern, feeling hopeless.
“People, the followers that the god of the apocalypse desires, are just people. As long as we can control the common people, we have leverage to negotiate with him.” Someone was smart enough to point out the key point.
“That’s right, those people are our bargaining chips. Let's send someone back immediately to ensure that the people under our command are kept in line.” Everyone seemed to have found hope, getting excited, and planning to take a shot in the dark.
“You’re too naive.” Suddenly, a middle-aged man sneered.
“Enman, what do you mean?” someone questioned.
“没什么意思,只是觉得你们就像是一群掉入沼泽当中的困兽,在使劲的挣扎。要知道陷入沼泽之后,越挣扎死的越快。”中年人澹澹道。
“Are we really going to just watch, letting the God of the Apocalypse take away our power, wealth, and status?”
“Wealth and status mean nothing if you don’t have your life to enjoy them. If the God of the Apocalypse sees our people as wealth, do you think we can protect such a vast fortune?”
“In the face of absolute power, all tricks are merely jokes. We are now a group of paper tigers without claws, unable to defend what we attempt to protect; ultimately, we will only end this farce with our own lives.”
His words struck like a series of heavy hammers on the hearts of these high-level officials, painfully, painfully, enough to make them see the reality.
“Enman, do you have any good ideas?” the others asked.
“Yes, there is.” Enman said cryptically.
“Quick, tell me.”
“You know it but won't say.”
Enman smiled and said, “Since we can't win, let's join them instead.”
“Are you saying we should rely on the God of Doom?” Someone's expression turned ugly.
“No way, absolutely not. If we rely on the God of Doom, we will have no chance of turning things around.”
“I think we can take a gamble; if we fail, it won't be too late to rely on them then.”
“What they said makes sense.”
“I think we should unite and work together as one. When the time comes, if things really go wrong, we can all rely on each other, and there won't be any other troubles.”
“Sure, this approach is good.”
“I think it's feasible as well.”
……
These executives nodded in agreement, all eager to take a chance, when Enman burst into loud laughter once more.
“Enman, what exactly are you laughing at?” Enman’s laughter was particularly piercing, irritating these already troubled high-ranking officials.
Enman shook his head and said, “I just said that you can seek refuge, but I didn’t say this method would definitely work. The God of the Apocalypse might not necessarily want to take you in.”
“The doctrines of the Doomsday Church should be quite clear to you; they have a strong disdain for you self-righteous nobles in power. Perhaps the God of Doomsday will wipe you out and rid us of these tumors you represent,” Enman said with a light laugh.
The expressions of the crowd darkened once again, becoming incredibly somber, and they began to feel fear and dread.
“Leave now, let's return to the Federal Republic immediately,” someone said in fear, immediately suggesting the idea.
Others nodded in agreement and rushed outside, but Enman laughed again, "Leaving? What a pity, you can't escape."
Suddenly, there was a loud crash as a figure smashed through the front door, flying in and knocking several high-ranking members off their feet, with some even being killed instantly.
The one who crashed in was the super knight king-level guarding outside the door.
Another group of evil aura demons rushed in, unleashing a massacre on the high-ranking officials in the conference room. These demons were extremely powerful, with the leader being a super knight king, and the others being knight kings and great knight commanders. They were very ferocious, quickly slaughtering nearly all the high-ranking officials in the conference room, except for a middle-aged man named Enman.
Enman smiled as he approached the demon, placing his hand on his chest and saying, "I am Enman..."
"No need for more nonsense, come with us," the demon said, taking Enman and vanishing. As they stepped outside, they ran into human warriors who had quickly gathered after hearing the commotion.
“I will hold them off, quickly take Mr. Enman away,” the leader of the demons shouted, afraid that others wouldn't know the person they were taking was named Enman.
The demons swiftly took Enman away, breaking through the encirclement and escaping from the fortress stronghold.
They ran far before stopping, and the demon set Enman down.
Enman heavily exhaled a breath of murky air, overwhelmed by the evil and violent aura emanating from the demon.
"I have already done what the God of Doom instructed, when will I go to meet the God of Doom?" Enman said.
Just as he finished speaking, his head was chopped off by an axe, and Enman’s head in mid-air bore an expression of disbelief.
“Your mission is complete; you can die now. Thank you and your family for your contributions to my master,” the demon casually crushed his soul.
This guy was coerced and lured by Simon to defect before the war. However, Simon never truly intended to bring him into his fold; he and his family were merely pawns in Simon's grand scheme.
He needs a legitimate reason to kill the high-ranking officials of the Human Federation, which is why there’s a scenario where the demons intervene to save Enman. It’s quite reasonable for the demons to kill the high-ranking humans while conveniently rescuing their companions, right?
The demons saved Enman in front of thousands of warriors, solidifying the evidence of his collusion with the demons.
Moreover, Enman's family will have a large amount of irrefutable evidence of collusion with demons dug up, all of which has been arranged by Simon's subordinates, with the aim of completely destroying the Enman family.
This group of demons quickly disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were the demon knights of the Apocalypse Sect.
The collusion between the high-ranking officials of the Human Federation and the demons, as well as the massacre of the high-ranking officials by the demons, is too significant and soon spread widely.
When Simon returned, he heard this news and a slight smile appeared on his lips. However, he pretended to be angry and personally went after the demons. In the end, he brought back Enman's corpse, bringing this matter to a satisfactory conclusion.
The remaining super knight kings and knight kings were all somewhat suspicious. This matter was too forced, making it impossible not to raise suspicion. Especially the first mason and the others, who vaguely felt that this was related to Simon. However, Simon didn't care; as long as the logic was sound and the evidence was conclusive, it was enough. They couldn't find any evidence to raise doubts. More importantly, Simon had significant power now; even if they did express their suspicions, what could they do?
One by one, they chose silence and opted for self-preservation.
Even the powerful figures from those top families did not dare to oppose Simon at this moment, at least not openly. And these people were already on Simon's death list; it was only a matter of time before they died.
Simon is stationed at the fortress stronghold, proceeding in an orderly manner according to his plan, while also recruiting the powerful leaders of non-human higher-ups.
