Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent - Chapter 514

Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Searching for Merciless, Roshan City
Boom… Boom…

The rumbling thunder echoed through the sky, and the Void trembled. A terrifying pressure spread, as though a dreadful battle was breaking out deep within the Void.

However, the terrifying aura quickly dissipated, leaving only a few angry voices lingering in the air.

“Human, very well!” Kaos’s cold voice rang out, but this time, no clone appeared.

“Do you think erasing the coordinates of the Initial Star Domain will keep you safe? You made a wrong decision. The entire Initial Star Domain will pay the price for your actions!” A furious roar echoed across the sky.

“Kaos, you’d better take care of yourself first.” Another authoritative voice rang out, and then all sounds faded, leaving the surroundings in complete silence.

John and the others stood frozen, somewhat bewildered.

It seemed Kaos had encountered danger. His opponent was at least another Creator God.

Could it be that Creator God Aoto from the Mechanical Star Domain?

He recalled the Mechanical Insect Race that had descended upon the Initial Star Domain; they were lifeforms from Aoto’s Mechanical Star Domain.

But shouldn’t they be allies? Why had they suddenly turned against each other?

Roar…

Suddenly, a series of angry roars echoed, and the surrounding magical beasts charged at them once again, interrupting his thoughts.

“Fight our way out!” He stopped overthinking it, leading the group as they swiftly broke through the encirclement of the magical beasts and quickly fled.

The five-star Emperor-level experts were indeed powerful, but there was no way the beasts could trap them.

Several giant beasts could only watch helplessly as they fled, unable to stop them.

…

In a dense forest, John and the others concealed the unique aura of The Overseer, shaking off their pursuers. They stopped and looked around, all wearing puzzled expressions.

“What exactly is happening here? It seems even Kaos is in danger,” Nine Phoenix couldn’t help but ask.

Gaka speculated, “It must be that other Creator Gods learned the coordinates of the Initial Star Domain and wanted to get a piece of the pie.”

The others nodded. Only another Creator God could pose a threat to Kaos.

But for John, this was good news.

As long as Kaos was entangled, he wouldn’t be able to deal with them.

The real question was whether the erasure of the Initial Star Domain’s coordinates would guarantee their safety.

“Senior, can you find the people from Merciless Church?” John stopped dwelling on the issue and turned to Gaka, asking.

He was now worried about the safety of Merciless and her daughter, and needed to find them as soon as possible.

Merciless Emperor had once been the saintess of Merciless Church. If she hadn’t fallen into Kaos’s hands, she was likely still in Merciless Church.

Gaka furrowed his brow and spoke, “Merciless Church is very mysterious. All I know is that it is located in the Endless Ice Domain, but I’m not sure exactly where.”

The Endless Ice Domain?

John was confused. He was unfamiliar with this star domain and had never heard of such a place.

Beside them, Dulu, chewing on a crisp fruit, spoke in a muffled voice, “Master, I know where we can find people from Merciless Church, but it’s a bit dangerous.”

John turned to him, quickly asking, “Where?”

Dulu swallowed the fruit in his mouth and replied, “There’s a secret base of Merciless Church in Roshan City on this planet. But the city lord is a Seven-Star Emperor.”

A Seven-Star Emperor!

The group couldn’t help but gasp. The strongest among them, Dulu, was only at the Five-Star Emperor level.

John had grown stronger, but he was still only at the early stage of a Two-Star Emperor. He wouldn’t stand a chance against a Seven-Star Emperor.

“Can we enter Roshan City if we conceal The Overseer’s aura?” John asked, still determined to take the risk in order to find Merciless and her daughter.

“No,” Dulu shook his head and explained, “Every city in the Kaos Star Domain has special methods for detecting The Overseer’s presence. If we get too close, we’ll be detected. Even if we don’t die, we’ll be exiled to the Realm of Chaos.”

He didn’t yet know that the Realm of Chaos had already been destroyed.

It seemed that, aside from the Initial Star Domain where John was from, all Creator Gods were hostile towards The Overseer.

Dulu had already started to piece things together. The Overseer controlled a world of his own, and the ultimate goal of cultivation was to create a world and become a Creator God.

Such a path would inevitably lead to the plundering of resources from the star domains they came from. This was also why other Creator Gods were so hostile towards The Overseer.

Of course, there was another reason: The Overseer’s birth involved the destruction of an entire planet in order to obtain the complete Heart of the Continent for cultivation. Such a method was too evil in their eyes.

Dulu, however, was indifferent to this. Creator Gods could destroy entire planets—or even star domains—with a simple gesture. They were far more cruel in their actions.

Dulu continued, “But I should be able to enter the city without being detected.”

Only then did they remember that Dulu was not The Overseer, and had once been a subordinate of Kaos.

“This plan might work.” Nine Phoenix nodded in agreement. Although Dulu’s mind wasn’t all there, his strength was formidable. As long as they were careful, there shouldn’t be any problems.

“Alright.” John agreed as well. The group immediately set off for Roshan City.

The star domain was even vaster than they had imagined.

They flew for seven days before finally entering the range of Roshan City.

Over these days, there were occasional loud rumbling sounds from the Void, as if Kaos was still battling someone.

John finally relaxed. The passage to the Initial Star Domain was now closed, and the coordinates had been erased.

Moreover, Kaos was currently tangled up with some unknown powerful being. For now, the Initial Star Domain would be safe.

“Master, up ahead is Roshan City. You can’t get any closer,” Dulu stopped and pointed towards a grand, vast city in the distance.

According to him, this was just a basic-level city. The intermediate and advanced cities in this star domain were even more massive and had Eight-Star and Nine-Star Emperor-level experts stationed there. People from Merciless Church would never dare to infiltrate such places.

John and the others looked at the pedestrians passing by—almost all of them were Emperor-level experts, with some even at the Five-Star or Six-Star Emperor levels.

They couldn’t help but feel a bit tense. If their identities were exposed, the consequences would be dire.

He turned to Dulu and instructed, “Be careful. Focus on gathering information about Merciless Emperor. If you run into danger, escape immediately.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” Dulu replied confidently, and without hesitation, flew boldly towards the city.

John and the others, meanwhile, retreated into a nearby dense forest to conceal their presence.

Over the past few days, John had either been fighting or running for his life, leaving him with little time to assess the changes in his cultivation.

Once he was certain the area was safe, he sat cross-legged and began to examine his own cultivation, along with his newly comprehended powers of the laws.

In particular, he focused on the Mechanical Life Law and the Order Law that he had obtained after slaying the Mechanical Insect Race and plundering them.

He closed his eyes, concentrating deeply.

The Mechanical Life Law was a type of Life Law, capable of bestowing life upon certain special carriers.

The most powerful example of this was the Mechanical Insect Race under Aoto’s command.

Although this race was alive, they could not comprehend or cultivate any laws. Their potential was high at first, but their ceiling was very low.

Emperor-level experts of the same rank could easily defeat the mechanical race.

John wasn’t particularly interested in the Mechanical Life Law. Even if he later became a Creator God, he had no intention of creating mechanical life.

What he was most eager to comprehend was the Order Law, which was essential for world creation.

He meditated deeply, but it was still like a fog. He couldn’t find any clues or direction.

The Order Law was simply too weak.

He opened his eyes, feeling a bit helpless. To master the Order Law, he would need to hunt down more Emperor-level Mechanical Insect Race and enhance his comprehension of the law.

But there had been no sightings of the Mechanical Insect Race in the Kaos Star Domain.

He wasn’t in a hurry, though. He was certain that he would encounter the Mechanical Insect Race again in the future.

…

A day later, Dulu returned.

John quickly asked, “How did it go? Did you find any news about Merciless Church?”

Dulu’s expression was dejected as he shook his head. “Master, the Merciless Church’s base here has been destroyed. It was wiped out a month ago by the city lord of Roshan City, Hall. From what I’ve gathered, it seems he was after capturing the former saintess of Merciless Church.”

The former Saintess of Merciless Church?

John was a bit confused.

“John, Merciless Emperor is the former Saintess of Merciless Church,” Nine Phoenix quickly explained.

“What?” A wave of worry spread through his heart. Everything happening here was indeed related to Merciless.

He turned to Dulu and asked urgently, “Was Merciless captured?”

Dulu shook his head. “I’m not sure. The situation in the city is chaotic, and there are divine servants everywhere. My identity is special, so I dare not expose myself. I couldn’t gather any more information.”

John fell silent, his gaze fixed on the distant, towering city. No matter what, he had to confirm whether Merciless was inside the city.

He turned to his companions and asked, “Can the god-level disguise talent evade the city’s special methods for detecting The Overseer?”

Nine Phoenix quickly shook his head. “No, the Disguise talent can only mimic the aura of others, but it cannot conceal The Overseer’s essence.”

“That’s right, John. You can’t take such a risk,” Gaka said, sensing his intent and quickly advising him against it.

John frowned, about to speak, when a sudden roar echoed from the distance.

Boom!

A powerful surge of energy shook the city, and a figure staggered out, barely managing to escape.

“Stop! You can’t escape!” came the furious shouts, as more than ten figures shot into the air, all of them Four-Star Emperor-level experts, with the leader being a Five-Star Emperor.

The figure, visibly exhausted and on the verge of collapse, dared not stop and flew straight toward the forest where John and his group were hiding.

The group’s expressions grew grim as they quickly concealed their presence.

Whoosh!

The figure zoomed past them, weak and frail, with a mask covering their face, making it impossible to see their features.

Several divine servants quickly followed, closing in on the fleeing figure but not noticing John and his group hidden in the forest.

“Master, that person is a member of Merciless Church,” Dulu quickly spoke up.

John was stunned for a moment, then immediately ordered, “Chase!”

He dashed out of the forest, swiftly giving chase.

It was a rare opportunity to encounter a member of the Merciless Church, and he couldn’t let them escape or encounter any danger.

Boom!

Ahead, sounds of a fierce battle echoed. The Merciless Church member was soon overtaken, surrounded by several Four-Star Emperor divine servants. The situation was perilous, with a Five-Star Emperor keeping a watchful eye nearby.

The arrival of John and his group caught the attention of the Five-Star Emperor.

He furrowed his brows, sizing them up, and coldly said, “The divine servants of Roshan City are doing their duty. Outsiders, get out of the way!”
