Chapter 442 - 269: You, Go Assassinate the Holy Dragon!
"Have the gods become so magnanimous these days?"
Noah, upon noticing the unusual movements of the Church of All Gods within his realm, and their collective investigation of the border court where he had openly performed a Divine Descent, began to look forward to what would happen.
For all those collecting faith and attempting to ignite the Divine Fire to become an Ascender, the gods have a unified attitude, which is to mobilize all worldly powers to exterminate them, including but not limited to performing a Divine Descent at critical moments.
Noah had heard that across the major planes, there exists a special group dedicated to hunting pseudo-gods and demigods, primarily composed of high-rank legends from various churches. In other words, the background of this god-hunting group is the gods themselves.
Legends joining this group can even temporarily set aside prejudices born of faith to reach a consensus on hunting Ascenders, cooperating with each other to achieve mutual benefits.
Of course, the true gods deny the existence of such a group. Worshiping legends of them cannot live in harmony with the followers of evil deities, let alone cooperate on any matter.
Thus, even the Dragon Clan with their long heritage cannot confirm the existence of this group, only aware of certain hearsay rumors.
But it is certain that indeed some notable and eagerly anticipated Ascenders encountered unknown forces and were tragically killed.
The path to becoming a god is destined to be immensely challenging. Ascenders, from the very start, violate the core interests of the gods, naturally inviting their ruthless annihilation.
Noah was not trying to challenge the legendary god-hunting group; he was merely curious about the gods’ reaction. It cannot be denied that there is a thrill in challenging taboos.
