Chapter 1725: 469 The Melting Demigod … Bell Tower outside. Dark clouds covered the sky. Matthew looked calmly at the dozen or so demigods adorned with Starlight Chains. As expected, he saw the figure of the Weaver of All Things, Tarand, among the clouds. ... Just as Matthew had previously conjectured, this Mother Spider had also sold herself to the Starry Night God, thus obtaining the chance to resurrect in the land of God’s Kingdom. Back then, Matthew had not seen through this, so his attack did not carry the power of Lost Paradise, thereby allowing Tarand to narrowly escape. In comparison, the Thunder Demigod, Kramer, was extremely unfortunate. “So, there are still seventeen demigods left within the Divine Kingdom of the Starry Night God,” Matthew assessed the demigods within the clouds with a malevolent gaze. And these demigods, who appeared so exalted in the eyes of ordinary people, seemed very cautious and careful when facing Matthew. The dark clouds had already completely enveloped the top of the Bell Tower, and the aura of all the demigods seemed impressive. But after a stalemate that lasted half a day, not a single demigod took the initiative to step forward. It was as if just maintaining this standoff was already the limit of what they could achieve. “The Child of Winter, after all, has chosen this path.” “And there’s the Sister of Desire and the Mad Zerg Queen who joined the Divine Kingdom just temporarily…” “The Slaughter Demigod was snatched by a pretty boy? A new face, could it be a man kept by the Starry Night God?” Matthew identified each enemy one by one. In his eyes, none of these demigods would be missed if they were killed. The only exception might be the demotion of the Child of Winter into the Wintery Demigod, a deity who was one of the rare gentle ones in the Heavenly Family Palace and had a good relationship with Edmond as well. Unfortunately, against the background of the fall of the Heavenly Family Palace, it seemed even the Child of Winter was not representing a path for her own future. But to Matthew, joining the camp of the Starry Night God was itself a harbinger of disaster. Matthew could only express regret in his heart before making a move. “Who’s coming first?” Seeing the demigods just standing there gaping, and after repeatedly provoking them with his eyes only to be ignored, he decided to be a bit more proactive— Matthew took a big step toward the clouds. Who would have known that the next second, the demigods collectively retreated a great distance backward— At first, each of them took a small step back. But probably because everyone wanted to cleverly step behind others, the entire group of demigods ended up collectively retreating nearly three hundred meters! They even stepped out of the cloud cover! For a moment, only the clamoring dark clouds surrounded the Bell Tower and Matthew. That scene… Matthew felt embarrassed for them! … “Tip: The demigods have been intimidated by your reputation, retreating collectively over 300 meters. Your exploration degree in the Celebrity Domain has seen a new enhancement. You have acquired the title ‘God Retreater’! God Retreater: Your mere reputation is enough to make demigods retreat at the mere mention of your name!” … “Unbeknownst to me, has my reputation become so fearsome?” Matthew was actually somewhat surprised. But then again, he might just be accustomed to it all. To outsiders, Matthew was indeed one of the top spellcasters in the south, and his fame was right behind the Seven Saint Alliance. Especially after the incident in Lost Paradise, as the only survivor among those who sought Ascension, the legendary aura surrounding him became even more pronounced. Even though his Level had not surpassed the legendary, people did not dare to underestimate him. Not to mention the demigods who knew even more about Matthew’s strength. They probably already knew that Matthew had indeed stepped onto the legendary path. At this critical juncture, if one lacked the solid strength to clash with Matthew, they would likely become a stepping stone on Matthew’s legendary path. The Thunder Demigod, Kramer, was such an unfortunate example. “So, did you just come here to spectate me?” “Is this the extent of the courage of the gods of the Heavenly Palace?” Seeing the demigods retreat so neatly and cleanly, Matthew couldn’t help but taunt them. But he had still underestimated the thickness of these old ascenders’ skins. His taunting could not provoke the demigods into anger. Using the dark clouds as a barrier, they began to move around the Bell Tower without any pattern, not even willing to meet Matthew’s gaze directly! Seeing this, Butterfly couldn’t help but speak up: “They just want to keep an eye on you, or find a way to hold you here.” “Even if it means playing hide-and-seek with you here, that’s acceptable to them.” Matthew nodded slightly. Butterfly’s assessment was undoubtedly correct. Right now, with the gates to the astral world wide open in Canning City, vast numbers of astral creatures poured in every moment, and the material layer was being expanded incessantly by the High-dimensional Shadow’s attacks. Monsters were entering, and the Ether was expanding. As long as they could hold Matthew, who could influence all of this, the demigods’ mission would be considered accomplished. To achieve this goal, they certainly didn’t need to risk their lives. They would proceed as gently as possible. Matthew suspected that at this point, even if he asked them to sing a song or dance a jig, these demigods probably wouldn’t refuse… “The infusion of Ether is too fast,” Butterfly said with a heavy tone: “In the most severely affected districts, there have already been cases of small-scale anomalies occurring among ordinary people.” “If this trend continues unabated, Canning will undoubtedly become a city of monsters!” Matthew noticed the other Ether Star Core clenched in her hand. He raised an eyebrow: “It’s not time to use that yet.” Butterfly nodded: “I understand.”
