Seeing Elfa easily block the God of Malevolence Motan's previous attack, at first, the outside audience was full of boos.
["Thought that big guy was something impressive, turns out he's just pretending to be tough."]
["Once again handled by our Lord Elfa. Lord Elfa is truly worthy of being the world's number one powerhouse, truly the pride of our Beacon Nation."]
But unexpectedly, the next second, the God of Malevolence's attack power suddenly surged by dozens of times, the powerful death beam instantly shredded the Ghost Shield and pierced through Elfa's body.
"What?", Beneath the blood armor, Elfa's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
The health bar above his head, with just this one strike, suddenly dropped to 42%.
As the light dispersed, in his line of sight, at some point the nine-headed giant python was now engulfed in golden flames, its entire body shrouded in a world-destroying powerful aura.
A terrifying power increased by dozens of times surged in all directions, engulfing Elfa.
Soaked in this penetrating force, at this very moment, Elfa felt an unprecedented fear.
———
Even outside the field, Wolong and the others watching the scene through the livestream were all stunned.
After a while, Wolong finally spoke, "What is the God of Malevolence's ability?"
As his words fell, Hidden Dragon pondered for a long time and then said, "Burning evil energy, allowing physical power to increase by several times to dozens of times in a short time."

[On the Field]
Elfa didn't know why the opponent's strength had suddenly increased so much.
Because a hundred years ago, when the Three Main Gods ravaged the land, top professionals from all over the world were all instantly killed in one strike, there was simply no chance to contend with them.
Aside from Asura, no one truly understood the Three Main Gods; they only knew that their strength was strong enough to destroy the world.
Even in the Elfa family's secret history, there was no detailed record of the God of Malevolence.
Facing the God of Malevolence, now fully enhanced with dozens of times more power, Elfa realized he was no longer a match. If the battle continued, he would certainly die here.
He quickly stood up and retreated, trying to maintain distance from the God of Malevolence.
But for prey already locked in, the God of Malevolence would never let go so easily.
The God of Wrath feeds on rage.
The God of Malevolence's food is evil.
And Elfa had laid a trap to ambush Zhang Yue, maliciously sacrificing hundreds of his subordinates, using their lives to activate the map mechanism of the Reaper's Ruins, all just to kill Zhang Yue.
These actions fully revealed the evil power within Elfa's heart.
Even without the Flowgold Warrior's summoning, the God of Malevolence likely would have arrived drawn by the scent alone.
ROAR!
The God of Malevolence twisted its nine heads, eighteen eyes fixed sharply on Elfa.
At this moment, the world's number one professional powerhouse had already become prey in Motan's eyes.
Elfa clearly panicked.
Because the map mechanism was activated by him, originally intended to hunt Zhang Yue, who would've thought, in the end, it would become his own burial ground?
At the rear, the Flowgold Warrior also seemed to harbor strong killing intent toward Elfa.
He raised the longsword in his hand, pointed at Elfa, and ordered the God of Malevolence, "Motan, he's yours, devour the evil to your heart's content!"
ROAR!
The God of Malevolence Motan unleashed an earth-shaking roar, opened its bloody maw, and charged straight toward Elfa.
Elfa quickly swung his sword, releasing wave after wave of sword light, trying to block the God of Malevolence.
However, in front of the God of Malevolence, whose strength had increased by a hundredfold, his resistance was nothing but a joke.
Even the SSSSS-tier powerful sword light couldn't break through the aura shield surrounding the God of Malevolence. It was like raindrops falling on the God of Malevolence's body, completely ineffective.
And the God of Malevolence's death beam easily broke through Elfa's full defense.
Right in front of billions of viewers from all nations in the livestream, it pierced through Elfa's body.
At this moment, a sudden system prompt appeared—
[[Map Announcement](Reaper's Ruins): "Ding~ All professionals inside the Reaper's Ruins, please note: due to the dispersal of the death aura, the map seal has been lifted!"]
Almost at the same time as the announcement was made, the powerful death beam pierced through Elfa's body again, clearing the remaining 40% of his health bar.
Thud!
Elfa fell to his knees with a heavy thump.
The next second.
Whoosh!
His body transformed into a streak of light and vanished on the spot.
At this moment, the entire world fell silent.
["The number one powerhouse in the world... a majestic level 500 Tier 9 myth-tier professional... was instantly killed?"]
["The undefeated legend, Ghostsword Elfa, has actually been defeated!"]
["What kind of monster is that? With such terrifying strength, it could instantly kill a myth-tier professional! My god!"]
———
At the same time, in the Beacon Nation's national territory, World 32 Safe Zone, at the Resurrection Spring.
As the divine light descended, Elfa resurrected in the spring.
He removed his helmet, cold sweat streaming continuously from his forehead.
At this moment, Elfa was still immersed in deep fear.
The scene of being killed by the God of Malevolence replayed endlessly in his mind, tormenting him.
He raised his hand, his hands were trembling.
Elfa felt chills on his back and gulped hard.
Just now, if the timing hadn't been perfect, if the Reaper's Ruins' seal hadn't ended, then he likely wouldn't be standing here now. He would've been permanently erased.
He almost died.
This near-death experience didn't bring Elfa comfort; instead, it made him feel even more terrified.
Because the God of Malevolence's strength was at least dozens of times stronger than his.
For the first time in a long while, he had encountered a truly powerful opponent.
Aside from the last time when Zhang Yue used a demon contract to counterkill him, this was also the first time Elfa had been killed by an enemy.
———
[On the Other Side]
Seeing Elfa killed by the God of Malevolence but not turned into starlight, only a streak of light that floated away, countless people outside the livestream felt regret.
["What a pity, he almost didn't make it!"]
["What a coincidence... truly fate at work!"]
On the field, Zhang Yue also sighed, "What a shame..."
Turning to the Flowgold Warrior on the other side, Zhang Yue asked, "Why did you help me?"
The Flowgold Warrior merely glanced at Zhang Yue and said nothing.
He summoned a golden spatial rift behind him. In the next second, he and the God of Malevolence Motan stepped into the rift and disappeared.
As silence returned to the field, Zhang Yue walked to the place where Elfa had died and disappeared.
He picked up a golden token dropped by Elfa's death.
That token was none other than the ninth seal, the Annihilation Seal.
With all nine seals now in hand, Zhang Yue could finally activate the Hell Gladiator Arena.
