Chapter 953, Three Gods’ Slaves

Translator: Silavin

 

“Ang!” Xing Chen was very obedient. After releasing a Dragon Roar, stars had already begun to condense in her hands.

 

Then, she spread her wings and flew out, extending her Dragon Claws forward, pushing out the stars in her hands and releasing her skill, Shatter Star.

 

The clay sculpture made no movement whatsoever, being struck squarely in the chest by Xing Chen’s Shatter Star.

 

*Boom!* Accompanied by a tremendous sound, Shatter Star embedded itself into the clay sculpture’s chest. The immense power caused it to shatter inch by inch from the chest outward.

 

Cracks spread outward, gradually enveloping the entire clay sculpture.

 

Then, the clay sculpture finally exploded, turning to dust.

 

Seizing this opportunity, Xing Chen flew backwards, returning to Lu Fan’s side.

 

If it had been any other Pet Dragon, after completing Lu Fan’s command, they would certainly have come back demanding head pats, hugs, and to be lifted high. But although Xing Chen now followed Lu Fan’s orders without question, her attitude remained cold.

 

After returning, she huddled by herself, showing no intention of acknowledging Lu Fan at all.

 

Lu Fan remained silent, already quite accustomed to this situation.

 

Most of Lu Fan’s attention was still focused on the shattered clay sculpture. The massive clay sculpture had turned into dust all over the ground, forming a small mound in front of the throne.

 

However, immediately after, ghostly vapour began to emerge from the small mound. It seemed this clay sculpture could also spawn Monsters.

 

Moreover, this vapour flickered with golden light, clearly different from other clay sculptures.

 

The Golden Asura Guards could only be considered Mobs.

 

What was about to appear now should be a Boss.

 

Lu Fan did not interfere with how it was going to make an appearance. He simply watched.

 

Soon, a ghostly body identical to the Golden Asura Guards condensed into form.

 

Because it existed as a Monster separate from other clay sculptures, its appearance was more vivid and three dimensional.

 

Its full suit of armour, the greatsword in its hands, and its other weapons were all exquisitely crafted. One look was enough to know this was no simple thing.

 

Lu Fan casted Appraisal on it. As expected, this was a Level 130 Epic Monster, the Asura King.

 

Not only that, but after the opponent’s name, there was also a suffix reading ‘Three Gods’ Slave’.

 

This left Lu Fan somewhat confused, because generally speaking, if it was an Ancient God Slave, the Ancient God’s title would often appear in the name’s suffix.

 

For example, Fallen Corpse Slave, Holy Mountain Slave, Divine Bone Slave, and so on.

 

But this ‘Three Gods’ Slave’ name was clearly somewhat strange.

 

Could it be that the Ancient God controlling this Asura King was named Three Gods?

 

That name was far too peculiar.

 

Regardless, this Boss definitely had to be killed.

 

Having already reached this point, the Ancient God should be nearby.

 

After killing this Boss, Lu Fan should also prepare himself for battle with the Boss.

 

Thus, Lu Fan planned to act immediately and eliminate this Boss first.

 

However, at this moment, the Asura King unexpectedly did not rush to attack like other Monsters would.

 

The opponent’s intelligence clearly exceeded Lu Fan’s imagination, and even stranger was that three different consciousnesses existed within its body!

 

The Asura King’s central head spoke, its voice ethereal. “Who are you, and why have you come to disturb our long slumber?”

 

The left head also spoke, its voice sharp and grating, clearly different from the previous one. “That’s right, daring to disturb us. You’re truly seeking death!”

 

The right head spoke last. “You two need not be impulsive. From what I see, they came here because they have a request. If they admire us Ancient Gods, we could consider sparing their lives and having them work for us. The Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy is about to begin. Our awakening speed hasn’t been particularly fast. Having the aid of others would be of great benefit to us.”

 

Watching these three heads converse with each other, Lu Fan gathered that this Asura King must have been completely controlled. The body was no longer controlled by its original self.

 

Most likely, the Asura King’s original consciousness had long been destroyed. What now controlled the Asura King’s body were those three Ancient Gods!

 

This way, the ‘Three Gods’ Slaves’ suffix in the Asura King’s name could be explained.

 

It was not the slave of a particular Ancient God, but rather a puppet jointly controlled by three Ancient Gods.

 

Moreover, these three Ancient Gods were quite interesting. At this moment, they were still playing good cop and bad cop. Between the lines, they simply wanted to get Lu Fan and the others to acknowledge themselves as their slaves, work for them, and help them quickly awaken.

 

One could easily imagine that Lu Fan’s previously displayed Combat Power had moved their hearts.

 

With Lu Fan’s help, their awakening speed would certainly accelerate significantly.

 

However, their little show was quite crude. Never mind Jin Zhan, even Lu Fan could see that from the very beginning, they had never intended to kill them.

 

Their purpose was simply to recruit a few slaves.

 

From the looks of it, these three Ancient Gods should be in a passive position in the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy.

 

If Mikami Saburo and the others could demonstrate strength worthy of being valued, the three Ancient Gods might truly bestow power upon them and have them become slaves.

 

Unfortunately, they could not even defeat the Golden Asura Guards. It would be quite difficult for them to catch the Ancient Gods’ eyes.

 

At this moment, the three Ancient Gods’ performance had reached its conclusion.

 

The central head now stared intently at Lu Fan and the others, speaking. “You lot have disturbed our long slumber. We should kill you. However, seeing that your strength is passable, I’ll give you an opportunity. You will sign a contract, become our slaves, and heed our summons. When that time comes, we can bestow great power upon you, greatly increasing your strength, even granting you endless life to live into the next era and become Gods.”

 

“Well? There are two paths ahead, which will you choose!?”

 

If these words were said to Mikami Saburo and the others, they would probably all weep tears of gratitude and kneel in thanks. But to Lu Fan’s ears, these words were genuinely quite laughable.

 

Lu Fan nodded, smiling. “We do indeed want your power. But, waiting for you to bestow it is far too troublesome. We can take it ourselves. As long as we kill you, won’t your Ancient God Power become ours anyway?”

 

Having said this, golden scales had already begun forming on Lu Fan’s body. At the same time, his body began to slowly expand, transforming toward the form of a Giant Dragon.

 

The three Ancient Gods were stunned upon hearing this, then roared in fury: “Audacious!”

 

“You actually dare say you’ll kill us!? You are truly overestimating your own ability!”

 

“That’s right, we are Ancient Gods, Creator Gods. You’re nothing but ants. Do you really think you can decide our fate!?”
