WHOOSH!
In a desolate forest land, a golden light screen was torn open.
The next moment, the Flowgold Warrior stepped out from the light screen.
Soon after, the evil Nine-Headed Demon, Motan, also tore through space and fell directly from the sky onto the ground.
At this moment, the God of Malevolence Motan was panting heavily, no longer having the sharp aura from just now when confronting Ghostsword Elfa at the Reaper's Ruins.
The Three Main Gods each have their own strengths.
In addition to having strong base power, they each possess an extremely powerful ability.
Just like the God of Wrath, Jie'e's ability is being able to freely transform into any being whose strength level is not higher than their own, and they can use all the skills and tactics of the transformed being.
As for the God of Malevolence's ability, it is to release the evil power absorbed within its body at any time, achieving a temporary increase in its own strength by several times to dozens of times.
Similarly to the God of Wrath, after being sealed for over a hundred years, the God of Malevolence had also lost much of its power. Its current strength had only just recovered to about level 300, equivalent to an Immortal-tier BOSS.
With such a power level, it was naturally impossible to contend against the level 500 Tier 9 Myth-tier Ghostsword Elfa.
Therefore, the God of Malevolence released all the evil power within its body, achieving the maximum enhancement of its own strength within a short period of time: a hundredfold increase.
Only then was it able to defeat Elfa.
But in return, a price had to be paid.
The God of Malevolence normally only needs to release a small amount of evil power to obtain several times the strength enhancement effect in a short time.
Later, it just needs to devour a few prey with evil power within their bodies to easily restore the loss.
To have enough strength to kill Elfa, the God of Malevolence didn't hesitate to release all the evil power in its body, enhancing its own strength by a hundredfold to the maximum extent.
The negative consequence of overextending its power was that not only did all the evil power in its body become depleted, but the God of Malevolence also weakened from Immortal-tier BOSS strength level to Emperor-tier BOSS.
When it was first released from the Infinite Abyss, it was at Emperor-tier BOSS level.
After this period of effort, it had just recovered to Immortal-tier BOSS.
Equivalent to, after the battle with Elfa, the God of Malevolence was knocked back overnight to before it was ever released.
At this time, the Flowgold Warrior stepped to the side of the panting, extremely weak God of Malevolence, squatted down, gently stroked the God of Malevolence, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it won't be long before I can restore you to your peak state."
"Not just you," As the Flowgold Warrior raised his head.
WHOOSH!
In the low sky, two more spatial rifts emerged.
A huge black cloud mass flowing with red lightning, and a hell dragon with three pairs of dark-gold wings and eighteen eyes arranged on its head, each appeared from the two rifts.
The Flowgold Warrior looked at the God of Wrath, Jie'e, and the God of Desire, Wuen, then said, "And you two as well."
"I will restore you to the peak level of King-tier BOSSes from a hundred years ago."
"That moment is not far away."
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR—
The Three Main Gods stood before the Flowgold Warrior and bowed to him in submission.

After the battle between Ghostsword Elfa and the God of Malevolence Motan, the entire world fell into panic.
Everyone was fearful of this nine-headed giant serpent that came out of nowhere and possessed power strong enough to instantly kill the world's number one powerhouse, Elfa.
All kinds of rumors and gossip spread across the nations of the world.
["So, can someone tell me, just what exactly is that thing?"]
["According to historical records, Ghostsword Elfa once killed countless God-tier, Emperor-tier, and Immortal-tier BOSSes, even King-tier BOSSes, he killed eight of them. That monster could actually one-shot Elfa. Could it be its strength is even higher than King-tier BOSS?"]
["The highest tier of BOSS in the Otherworld, isn't it King-tier? Is there something even stronger above King-tier?"]
Major news outlets were also wildly speculating and spreading information:
["In history, the Otherworld has never seen a BOSS this powerful. The emergence of this new enemy, does it mean humanity is about to face disaster?"]
["Is humanity really doomed? What can we use to protect our world?"]
["We should stop internal strife. All nations must unite to fight the monsters, to defend our world and homeland!"]
["This is no longer a matter of strength or weakness. Even Ghostsword Elfa, the number one in the world, was instantly killed. Even if all the world's professional powerhouses unite, they may still not be able to resist this new species. It's meaningless, just like the level 9 beast tide a hundred years ago!"]
["Then what else can we do? Just give up. We won't live long anyway. I'm going to kill that b*tch who stole my boyfriend tonight!"]
["..."]

Within the territory of Dragon Nation.
After obtaining the nine seals, Zhang Yue did not rush to activate the Hell Gladiator Arena.
Instead, he went offline and convened a meeting with Wolong, Hidden Dragon, Xuan Lan, and high-ranking officials of Dragon Nation like the Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, and Seraph.
"As expected by our predecessors a hundred years ago, once the information about the Three Main Gods is leaked, it will cause global panic. The appearance of the God of Malevolence has already thrown the whole world into chaos."
As soon as the Ice Emperor's voice fell, Moon Mark clenched her fist and said, "If Elfa hadn't started a global livestream, how could the situation have escalated this quickly? This panic was entirely created by Elfa himself."
At this time, Seraph focused on another point, "Speaking of which, isn't the release of the Three Main Gods all related to that person in golden armor? It looked like the God of Malevolence was summoned by him."
Xuan Lan looked at Zhang Yue thoughtfully and said, "The bigger problem is him, or rather, it, why did it save you?"
"First, he unconditionally helped you clear the Nightmare Arena, and now he's saved you from Elfa. What exactly is his goal?"
Wolong said, "What we currently know is that the Three Main Gods' strength has definitely been weakened and not yet recovered. The God of Malevolence's power outbreak today that one-shot Ghostsword Elfa was due to using its evil transformation ability. It was only a short-term power burst, not permanent."
"Before using this ability, the God of Malevolence was clearly not a match for Elfa. Just like the God of Wrath, both are in a sealed and weakened state. That person's goal should be related to restoring the power of the Three Main Gods."
Hidden Dragon nodded and said, "The Three Main Gods have already been released for a while, yet they haven't taken any action. This doesn't match the understanding I had of them from a hundred years ago. According to their nature, the first thing they would've done upon release should've been to take revenge on society…"
"So it's precisely because their power is missing that they dare not act recklessly."
"Once the Three Main Gods recover to their state from a hundred years ago, the world will face disaster…"
