Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Zombie Temple, Fallen Reincarnator Appears

From this magic ring, which did not belong to the local world, Li Yu learned that the Fallen Reincarnator was, with 90% certainty, the Arthur God-King.

He no longer hesitated, transforming into lightning and shooting straight into the sky.

In fact, he didn't care about Prince Born's life or death at all.

Anyway, all these zombies were going to die; Born was just a matter of dying sooner or later.

Judging by the architectural style of these zombie races, the more noble the zombie's status, the more ostentatious and prominent their buildings!

The zombie race had already conquered Earth, so there was no need to be timid anymore.

Therefore, Li Yu only needed to find the largest building, which should be where the zombie royalty resided.

The lightning he transformed into leaped between the clouds, and with the continuous use of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, Li Yu became increasingly proficient at transforming into lightning.

The ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was closer to becoming one with nature and did not require Li Yu to burn his Cosmo.

Every time he fully burned his Cosmo, it was a consumption of his own lifespan.

Given the alternative ability, Li Yu naturally prioritized using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power.

He felt as if he had transformed into a god inspecting the mortal realm, riding a chariot of lightning.

The potential of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was continuously developed, and his speed surged like a thunderbolt.

Crack! Crack!

Golden lightning snaked and weaved through the clouds, like a dragon soaring or a phoenix spreading its wings, leaving fleeting streaks of light in the planet's atmosphere.

The speed of lightning was extremely fast, approximately 300,000 kilometers per second.

The equator of this Reincarnation Space's planet was only about 40,000 kilometers.

Within one second, Li Yu could circle the equator seven and a half times.

In just a few minutes, his gaze was firmly fixed on a colossal structure below.

It was a gigantic temple spanning tens of kilometers, with its main building towering a hundred meters high, like a black behemoth prostrating on the earth.

On the triangular pediment at the top of the temple, gilded zombie script was inscribed, gleaming with a sacred luster under the sunlight.

Li Yu recognized the words at a glance.

"Arthur God-King Palace."

Perhaps because it was daytime, not a single zombie could be seen around the temple.

But the marble ground in the plaza in front of the palace was as bright as a mirror, without a speck of dust, clearly indicating that zombies specially cleaned and maintained it daily.

"This is it."

Li Yu retracted his electric light, and his figure fell from the clouds, landing steadily in the center of the plaza.

The main gate of the God-King Palace was open, and the interior was pitch black, as if a man-eating monster lurked within, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

Li Yu paid no mind, raising his hand in front of him to condense a basketball-sized lightning ball.

The light ball emitted a dazzling white light, floating in front of Li Yu and dispelling the surrounding shadows.

Li Yu strode into the grand hall.

Unexpectedly, the hall was empty; there were no guards, no priests, only a majestic golden idol standing in the center.

This idol had a ferocious face, green skin, and fangs, with two curved tusks protruding from its lips, almost touching its chin.

The divine throne at the idol's feet was piled high with countless human skeletons, the empty eye sockets of the skulls facing the entrance, as if silently roaring.

On the ground in front of the idol, several lines of divine script were inscribed with a dark red liquid.

Li Yu understood their meaning with a single glance.

"King of the Gods, Arthur God-King, is the embodiment of decay, the gospel of death, the only true god who frees all life from shackles and leads them to eternity."

"Call upon the name of Arthur God-King, grant me eternal life with these prayers, and I shall return from the void to save my kin!"

"He truly dares to call himself a god!"

Li Yu shook his head slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

If this were in the Saint Seiya World, a mere zombie daring to usurp and covet the divine office of death would likely be met the very next day by Hades, accompanied by one hundred and eight Specters, storming his gates.

Not even bone fragments would remain; truly, ignorance is bliss.

Just then, a low voice came from behind, like the friction and collision of countless pieces of decaying flesh.

"Human, state your purpose."

Li Yu spun around abruptly, only to see that at some unknown point, a phantom had appeared at the central entrance of the grand hall.

This phantom's body seemed to be pieced together from countless rotten corpse fragments, entirely shrouded in black mist, every inch of its skin a decaying gray-black, yet covered by a layer of dark golden cutin.

Its head was a colossal humanoid skull, with two clusters of crimson flames flickering in its eye sockets; just being gazed upon by those flames, Li Yu felt an infinite malice rushing towards him, as if it wanted to devour his soul entirely.

At the same time, a red attribute box abruptly appeared before his eyes:

[Fallen Reincarnator: Number 000003cee, Tenth-tier Reincarnator, Dark Divine Being! Experienced 34 Reincarnation Spaces!]

[Attributes: Strength: 530,000; Agility: 480,000; Spirit: 290,000; Constitution: 1,200,000; Divinity: 0.2!]

[Note: What you are currently seeing is his avatar, not his true body. Please proceed with caution!]

Oh, is he really a divine being?

Li Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly; this Fallen Reincarnator had truly become a god. How did he do it?

And looking at his four-dimensional attributes, he was even more terrifying than Enel in the One Piece World.

His Constitution actually broke a million!

If he killed him, it would be a considerable gain.

As soon as their eyes met, the phantom before him immediately showed a knowing expression.

"Hmm, so it's a Hunter. If I'm not mistaken, you should be the third-generation Hunter... No wonder you dared to come to my temple alone!"

Li Yu didn't waste words, slightly tilting his chin at the phantom.

"I can tell you're a divine consciousness projection. Show your true body, and I'll send you to your end!"

The phantom let out a piercing, maniacal laugh, and the black mist churned ceaselessly with it.

"Knowing you're a Hunter, would I still reveal my true body? Let me tell you, I have already become a god. My soul and body are entrusted to different spaces. As long as I don't reveal my true body, you can never kill me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

This is called a god?

If it were a god from the Saint Seiya World, whether it was Poseidon, Hades, or Hypnos, God of Sleep.

Regardless of their divine rank, they all possessed the grace and arrogance befitting a god.

Even if they fell, they would die with dignity.

Unlike this fellow, who, despite bearing the title of God-King, was such a coward.

The phantom sneered.

"Previous Hunters were always at the peak of all Reincarnators as soon as they entered the Reincarnation Space. I can tell you are very strong."

"Although I have already become a god, for the sake of caution, I will never confront you directly."

"My lifespan is infinite, and no matter how strong you are, you are just a mortal. Why should I use my infinite life to contend with you and bear the unpredictable consequences?"

The phantom turned its back.

"You may leave. I will never reveal my true body. Even if you stay in this world for ten thousand years, you won't find me. You can't outlast me!"

After saying this, the phantom transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished without a trace from Li Yu's sight.

Even when Li Yu smashed the idol and threw it out of the hall, the fellow didn't return.

Cowardly, utterly cowardly!

You think I can't do anything about you just because you're hiding?

Li Yu originally didn't want to use this method, as it was too time-consuming!

He flew into mid-air and unleashed his Diamond Dust!

Blue-white frost broke through the planet's atmosphere, precisely forming several enormous lines of text on the Moon, written in Chinese, English, and French.
