Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Comprehending the Laws, Malina Seeks Help

?

John arrived at the cliff, but the immense dark power had already dissipated.

Tony and Ben stood in front of the cliffside.

At this moment, Tony's brows were furrowed, and he seemed rather unhappy.

Curious, John asked, "Senior, you've comprehended the Power of Darkness Laws, but you don't seem pleased?"

Tony shot him a glare and snapped, "It wasn't me!"

"It wasn't you?" John was puzzled. Could it have been Sini who had comprehended the Power of Darkness Laws?

She had only been in the Abyss for two months. Such talent would be too extraordinary!

John knew just how difficult it was to comprehend the Power of Darkness Laws. If it weren't for his own overpowered Plunder talent, he wouldn't even have mastered Dark Element Affinity, let alone the mighty Power of Darkness Laws.

Just then, a figure flew out from the cliff.

It was Sini.

"John!" she spotted him immediately, her face lighting up with excitement. "Let's spar!"

Having comprehended 1% of the Power of Darkness Laws, Sini's confidence had skyrocketed, and she wanted to test her newfound strength against John.

"Alright!" John nodded, agreeing without hesitation.

Without another word, Sini drew her bow, nocking an arrow and firing it at John, the shot infused with a powerful Power of Darkness Laws.

But John didn't even bother dodging, allowing the arrow to hit him directly.

Thud!

-720

The arrow struck, but a pitiful amount of damage floated above John's head.

It was the true damage from the Laws of Darkness.

Sini's attack was utterly incapable of breaking through John's defense, only managing to deal 1% of true damage.

Seeing this, Sini frowned, her expression displeased. She drew her bow again, preparing to unleash a skill-based attack.

Buzz!

Before she could act, there was a spatial ripple, and John's figure suddenly disappeared. In the next instant, he reappeared in front of Sini.

His cold longsword pressed against her neck.

John smiled lightly and said, "You've lost."

"Hmph, I'm done playing!" Sini pouted in frustration. She had thought that after

comprehending the Power of Laws, even if she wasn't a match for John, she could at least put up a fight.

Yet here she was, still no match for him.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, two arrows flew from her hands, shooting towards Tony and Ben, who had been watching from the sidelines.

Thud! Thud!

-771

-709

Once again, the arrows failed to pierce their defenses, dealing only around 700 points of true damage.

"Little girl, it was Godslayer who bullied you! Why are you attacking us?" Tony exclaimed, annoyed. He was already upset that Sini had comprehended the Power of Darkness

Laws before him, and now she had attacked him-though the damage was negligible, it still wounded his pride.

If Tony had comprehended the Power of Darkness Laws, his strength would have increased significantly.

Sini, still fuming, said, "Keep teasing me, and I'll keep shooting at you!"

"Teasing? Us?" Tony and Ben exchanged glances, bewildered. They realized that arguing with a woman was always a losing battle.

Ben, however, didn't seem to mind. He looked Sini up and down and said, "Little girl, the Beast Clan has a profession that would suit you perfectly. Interested in making a switch?"

"Really?" Sini's eyes lit up with interest, but then she shook her head, declining. "On second thought, maybe not."

She now had two professions: Divine Archer and Shadow Assassin.

She wasn't willing to give up either of them.

John didn't say much. He simply pulled out an Origin Stone from his inventory and tossed it to Sini.

He had obtained it earlier by killing a seventh-tier legendary being, but it wasn't something he needed.

Since Ben had mentioned the new profession, it was probably quite powerful.

"An Origin Stone!" Sini's eyes lit up as she caught the gemstone, her voice soft as she asked, "Master, how should Sini repay you?"

"How about wearing stockings again?" John teased.

Sini shot him a playful glare but nodded shyly in agreement.

"Ahem," Tony coughed awkwardly from the side, reminding them of his presence.

As a ninth-tier powerhouse, his heightened senses allowed him to hear their entire

conversation.

John shot a glance at Tony before turning back to Ben. "Senior, what profession are we talking

about here?"

Ben didn't say much either, taking out a profession scroll and handing it to Sini.

John leaned in to take a closer look, curious about the profession.

[Feather Spirit: Rare Special Profession. Increases physical attack by 10%, magical attack by 10%, and attack speed by 10%. Each level grants an additional 2 points to Strength and 2

points to Spirit.]

This wasn't a direct combat profession, but rather a special support class that enhanced both of Sini's existing professions-Divine Archer and Shadow Assassin.

Without hesitation, Sini learned the new profession, significantly increasing her overall

strength. Not only that, but she also gained a new skill.

"John, I can fly now!" she exclaimed excitedly as a strange force surged behind her,

transforming into a pair of wings.

Unlike the pure, holy wings of the Angel Race, these wings were formed from dark energy.

Whoosh!

With a flap of her wings, the wind howled as Sini shot into the sky. Her flight speed was incredibly fast, and she moved with much more agility than mages who relied on magic to fly.

Of course, her speed still couldn't compare to John's Sword Flight.

Now that she had the ability to fly, her Lifesaver capability had also improved.

After flying a few loops in the air, Sini descended back to the ground and turned to Ben, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Senior."

Ben simply nodded without saying much.

His actions were partly to win Sini over. With such astonishing dark talent, even if she wasn't

the demon race's little princess, her status would still be significant. If she remained close to

John, the demon race could become a powerful ally for him.

"Sini, do you want to come with me?" John asked, looking at her.

He had already reached level 500 and the sixth tier, which meant he could now explore the Death Worm's Nest Secret Area.

The people from the Mike White Family and the Azure Family were leveling up rapidly with the help of the Angel Race, and John needed to find a way to stop them.

Sini was tempted, but after a moment of thought, she shook her head and declined. "I'd like

to continue my training here."

She had been quite pleased with her recent comprehension of the Power of Darkness Laws, but after sparring with John, she realized there was still a huge gap between them. Determined to close that gap, she decided to stay and continue her meditation, hoping to further deepen her mastery of the Laws of Darkness and catch up to John as soon as possible.

"Alright. I'll come visit you when I have time," John said, giving Sini a final word of advice before opening a spatial portal and leaving the Abyss.

Ding!

Just as he returned to the world of Gods, his private chat notification went off.

It was from Malina, a message sent half a month ago.

"What does this woman want now?" John wondered, opening the chat out of curiosity.

Flow of Time: "Godslayer, help me establish a faction!"

John glanced at the message and replied.

Godslayer: "No can do. Players can't trigger faction quests. You'll need help from other races

to establish a faction."

He had barely sent the message when a quick reply followed.

Flow of Time: "???!!!"

A series of emoticons appeared.

Flow of Time: "I thought you were dead! Half a month to reply? Something going on in real

life?"

Flow of Time: "I know you can figure something out. Help me!"

Malina was clearly frustrated. Joining a faction provided a huge power boost for players.

However, her guild members couldn't all join the newly established factions.

What really caught her attention was learning that Ritchie's Flame City and the Saint Martial

Sect factions were set up with John's help, making her eager to have him assist her as well.

John pondered as he read her messages.

Establishing a faction wasn't easy, and the Angel Race and Dark Humans certainly wouldn't

be happy about it.

The only reason they didn't interfere when Flame City's elves faction was created was that they knew it was under John's control, backed by ninth-tier powerhouses. However, Malina's Phoenix Guild wasn't part of John's domain.

If she tried to establish a faction, the Angel Race might send forces to stop her.

The Beast Clan wouldn't work in this situation.

The Angel Race was aware that the Beast Clan was loyal to John, and the Black Turtle chose to

create their faction in Dark Forest, the Beast Clan's Secret Area.

But aside from the Beast Clan, John didn't have other races under his command. There were

many new factions and races emerging in the world of Gods, but most were too weak to

bother with.

"Wait, the undead!" he suddenly thought of the Undead Lord.

The undead faction was quite strong, and the Angel Race and Dark Humans had no idea that

the Undead Lord was allied with him.

John didn't agree immediately. Instead, he responded to Malina.

Godslayer: "I'll help you, but what's in it for me?"

Phoenix City.

Malina clenched her teeth. She knew this guy wouldn't help without expecting something in

return.

To strengthen her faction, Malina had no choice but to give in and play along with John's

preferences.

Flow of Time: "A picture of my legs in stockings-one for 1G!"

John couldn't help but feel tempted when he saw her message. This woman definitely

understood the art of negotiation. However, he didn't agree right away.

Godslayer: "You think just a few pictures will convince me to help you set up a faction? No

way. This time, I want a video of you dancing in stockings."

Flow of Time: "Godslayer, don't push it too far!"

Godslayer: "You're the one asking me for help. If you refuse, there's nothing more to

discuss."

Malina's chest rose and fell slightly with frustration, her eyes scanning the room for something to take out her anger on.

But the room was empty-she was completely alone. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her irritation and replied to John.

Flow of Time: "Fine, I agree. But you have to help me set up the faction first. I don't know

how to dance, so I need time to learn."

Godslayer: "You'd better hurry. Three days from now, I'll help you establish the faction." John closed the private chat, a plan forming in his mind.

In three days, both the Beast Clan faction led by Black Turtle and Malina's Phoenix City faction would be established. The Angel Race wouldn't suspect that Phoenix City was under his influence, and they would likely send forces to intervene.

If just 100 angels showed up, he would be able to plunder enough Divinity to rescue Tracy.

Before that, he needed to help the Beast Clan build their city and collect enough Altar Upgrade Stones to upgrade the city to level 5, which would allow them to unlock the faction.

John headed to Death Land, where he found the Undead Lord and greeted him.

"Help me set up a faction? But I don't have many followers," the Undead Lord said, uninterested in forming a faction.

He had decided to follow John, caring little about the rise or fall of the undead. As long as he

could survive, that was enough for him.

John replied, "It doesn't matter. Once the faction is established, more undead will naturally

join you."

"Alright then. I suppose it won't do me any harm," the Undead Lord agreed with a nod. After leaving Death Land, John set out to destroy some Dark Humans cities and gather the

Altar Upgrade Stones needed to upgrade the altar.
