Deities: Starting From Goblins

“We agreed to stand together, so why are you two standing by as if watching a play?” At this point, Silas Summer ignored all decorum and dignity. This was his only chance to survive, and he had to join forces with these two.

Unable to avoid Silas Summer, the two of them stopped and said: “Fine, let’s block this attack together.” Working together, the three Quasi-Saint Seats manifested their divine skills. In an instant, a massive barrier formed, its surface shimmering with the forces of law, which then collided with the flames of the Spirit Gathering Array.

The next moment, their faces turned grave. Thankfully, they managed to block the attack, but it also made the other two Sect Leaders realize the terror of the Spirit Gathering Array. Even when the three of them joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to withstand many more attacks like it.

As such, the two turned their unified gaze toward Silas Summer, “Please keep your distance. If you try to use us again, don’t blame us for showing no mercy.”

“Didn’t we agree to seize this opportunity together?” Silas Summer remained unperturbed. Under the circumstances, he was determined to keep them involved. Without them, he alone would not be able to resist Logan’s Spirit Gathering Array attacks.

The two were terribly embarrassed and quickly retorted, “Nonsense! We only intended to visit the town. Everything has been a result of your manipulation. We regret causing this crisis in the city, and we were thinking of how to make amends.”

“Lord Wexler, we are planning to donate three million spirit stones to the town for house rebuilding. And let me clarify, we are definitely not in collusion with Silas Summer. Please do not trust his words.” The two made a slight bow towards Sandy Wexler and earnestly said.

Sandy Wexler was stunned, but inwardly overjoyed. As long as these three didn’t attack the town, other forces wouldn’t dare to cause trouble either. The crisis would naturally be resolved, but facing the two, Sandy Wexler didn’t respond.

He was clear that the merit belonged to Logan. As for how the situation would develop, it all rested on Logan’s decision. If he made a decision on Logan’s behalf, it would certainly taste bitter in Logan’s heart. Sandy Wexler had to be clear about this.

Seeing that the two were abandoning him, Silas Summer decided to stick to his guns: “Since you’re so heartless, I’ll make sure we all go to hell together. Let the Spirit Gathering Array attack us together, no matter where you try to escape to, I’ll follow.”

“You dare?” The two were outraged. Silas Summer was leaving them no way out. They had just witnessed the force of the Spirit Gathering Array’s attack. If Silas Summer insisted on dying together, the mere thought of it would make them shudder. They started thinking about how to shake off Silas Summer.

“Why don’t we join forces? Even though the Spirit Gathering Array’s attack is strong, it is not infinite. Each attack must consume a lot of spiritual energy, which Logan alone can’t possibly provide enough spirit stones for.”

Seeing the two scared, Silas Summer quickly persuaded. The two shook their heads vehemently; they wouldn’t fall for his tricks. Logan might not have much spirit stones on him, but he had Sandy Wexler by his side!

Sandy Wexler, as the Lord of the town, had amassed an astronomical amount of spirit stones over the years. That could sustain the operation of Logan’s Spirit Gathering Array for at least half a month, by which time there wouldn’t be anything left of the three of them.

Seeing the three having internal disputes, Logan was preparing the array for the next attack: “Listen, are you three going to join forces against me, or let me fight Silas Summer alone? Stop dithering. The Spirit Gathering Array is ready for the next attack.”

“Deal with Silas Summer alone.” The other two Sect Leaders spoke up in unison. Seeing that they were unable to shake off Silas Summer, they actually darted behind Logan. This sudden move took Silas Summer by surprise. Even if he wanted to, it was too late to join the other two at Logan’s side.

Even though he was a Quasi-Saint, it would have taken him three instants to escape. However, the attack from the Spirit Gathering Array only needed a moment to hit. Silas Summer quickly devised a plan, knowing fully well that Sandy Wexler was watching from a distance.

If he hid behind Sandy Wexler, would Logan dare to attack? A smirk formed on his lips. Without delay, he jumped over to control Sandy Wexler, who was completely without any cultivation level and was thus easily caught without any resistance.

Sandy Wexler knew he must not be a liability to Logan. So he yelled aloud, “Don’t mind me! If I could die with Silas Summer, it would be worth it. We absolutely cannot let him escape.”

“If you have the guts, attack!” Silas Summer frowned and quickly used a Divine Skill to silence Sandy Wexler. He then scornfully stared at Logan in provocation.

At this moment, Logan fell into silence. Silas Summer holding Sandy Wexler hostage was disadvantageous to him. He really didn’t want to harm others unintentionally with the Spirit Gathering Array. However, he only had ten million Spirit Stones left, barely enough to support fewer than five more attacks from the Spirit Gathering.

As time dragged on, the spiritual energy of the Spirit Stones was consuming away. Logan was at a loss, unsure of what to do. But Logan was decisive. He couldn’t allow himself to be caught in a difficult situation just because of one individual – Sandy Wexler.

He screamed, “I don’t care whether Sandy Wexler live or dies. In my view, he’s useless; in fact, if he dies, this city will belong to me alone, right? Furthermore, all the blame will fall on you instead of me, so I need not worry that the millions of people in this city will not submit.”

“This is the kind of person you are?” Silas Summer was dumbstruck. He disdainfully threw Sandy Wexler away. He had initially thought that he’d found a useful human shield. It turned out that the relationship between the two men was not that close, and he did not want a burden to slow him down.

Taking advantage of the moment, an attack from the Spirit Gathering Array came raining down. The fierce flames seemed to ignite the entire sky, its bounds of Rule Power caused a tremendous fear within Silas Summer, and there was no way he could cope alone.

There was no one within reach whose help he could rely on, thus Silas Summer had resigned himself to death. Thinking about how this morning, he had come to this city brimming with pride, intending to pilfer this city’s resources, yet within half a day, the situation had reversed drastically.

At this moment, he refused to accept his fate. After all, he was a dedicated and powerful Quasi-Saint. Was he going to die beneath this array? The unwillingness caused him to release all his strength within him, causing him to slightly step towards the aura of a Saint.

This burst of power shocked the other two Sect Leaders. Silas Summer was stronger than they had imagined. He wasn’t just a Quasi-Saint anymore, he was one step into the realm of a Saint. Perhaps under such desperate circumstances, Silas Summer’s abilities might be able to advance further.

The moment their attacks collided, even though Silas Summer’s Divine Skill underwent a substantive transformation, ultimately, he was outclassed by the flames of the Spirit Gathering array. Engulfed by the flames, he was screaming out as the pain seeped into his marrow; even his force of the Law was burned and backlashed upon him.

This made the other two Sect Leaders shudder, drawing a cold breath, “This array is too strong. It’s lucky we didn’t participate earlier; otherwise, we would be just like Silas Summer if we’d believed his lies. Just thinking about it gives me the chills.”

As for the outcome, Logan remained as calm as always. After all, he built the Spirit Gathering Array to counter the City-protecting Array. Considering the latter didn’t even consider Saints as significant threats, the Spirit Gathering Array naturally could oppose them too.

With only one hit, Silas Summer had already lost his combat power. After his Dantian and his Divine Sea got severely scorched, he was barely hanging by a thread, unable to bring forth even the slightest bit of combat power.
