Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

"No need. These ants are no match for me. I've been out for so long, and my hands have yet to be stained with blood," Deced said, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"They must have sensed the presence of the Angel race. Before the Angels fully regain their strength, I need to help them deal with these ants!" At this moment, Deced looked nothing like a chubby seven- or eight-year-old. He exuded the aura of a seasoned leader, commanding a powerful presence.

Sylvus nodded. Whether he needed to act or not didn't concern him. If Deced really couldn't handle it, Sylvus could deal with the problem with just a slap.

By this time, Hilton and his group had already reached the small shop's vicinity. Over a hundred Fallen Angels surrounded the entire shop.

"Look up there! Those guys look like Fallen Angels. How can there still be Fallen Angels on the Esral Continent?"

"Fallen Angels? The same ones who got beaten up by the boss before? I didn't expect so many of them to come this time. Looks like they're here to cause trouble for the boss."

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for the Fallen Angels to show up. Last time, I missed seeing the boss thrash those Undead. This time, I'm not missing the Fallen Angels getting whipped." Seeing the Fallen Angels appear in the sky, the people of the Holy City, who were lined up in the plaza, were not panicking. Instead, they looked excited.

They eagerly anticipated Sylvus capturing all of these intruders alive so they could torment them at will.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants dare to defy the Fallen Angels?" Nansi, hovering above, naturally heard these comments and snorted coldly. Immediately, he raised his palm, intending to annihilate the people below with a single strike.

However, just before the giant hand could descend, a powerful force emerged, causing it to disintegrate. Nansi furrowed his brow, quickly turning his gaze towards Sylvus, who was not far away.

"Your opponent is him. Don't touch my guests," Sylvus said with a smile.

Nansi squinted. He could tell this human man was not ordinary; he had managed to nullify Nansi's attack without making a sound.

"Boy, where are the rest of your Demon kin and the Angels? If you tell us obediently, we might grant you a swift death!" Hilton sneered, looking at Deced in the distance. To him, Deced was his ticket to promotion and wealth.

"If you want to know, come and find out," Deced replied calmly, looking at the approaching enemies as if they were already dead.

At this moment, Deced had yet to unleash his power. Within the range of Sylvus' shop, Deced's strength was that of a , True Deity. Meanwhile, the enemies were only Upper Deities, two levels below him. There was no way they could be a match for Deced.

"Hmph, quite brave. Let's see if you'll keep that attitude later!" Hilton scoffed, then looked at Nansi for direction. "Lord Nansi, what do you think…?"

Nansi frowned, glancing at Sylvus. He still felt this human was not simple. But with the Demon standing right there, if they retreated now, not to mention failing to wipe out the Angels, he wouldn't be able to give a good explanation when he returned!

"Capture him and torture him!" Nansi ordered. He simply couldn't believe it. This world's strongest beings were only Nine-Star Upper Deities. They had over ten such powerhouses on their side; was Sylvus stronger than all of them combined?

"Attack!" Hilton nodded to the two beside him. The next moment, the two surged with power, transforming into streams of light as they shot toward Deced.

"Die!" They shouted, drawing long swords aimed at Deced's arms, intending to cripple him on the spot. Seeing this, Hilton couldn't help but smile. These two were Nine-Star Upper Deities. In the Divine Realm, they might not be the strongest, but on this continent, they were top-tier. From his perspective, his two subordinates would easily capture Deced.

"Annoying," Deced said, his expression remaining calm. With a simple wave of his right hand, a divine energy hand instantly grabbed the two attackers.

"Crack… crack…"

In the next second, as Deced's mind focused, the sound of bones breaking echoed. The two Fallen Angels screamed in agony. They could feel their bodies being crushed.

A few seconds later, accompanied by a muffled grunt, the two Fallen Angels disintegrated into powder right before the shocked eyes of Hilton and the others.

"W-what? How is this possible?" Hilton and the others gasped. Two Nine-Star Upper Deities were wiped out just like that?

"No wonder the Demon race was once known as the War God race. Their strength is indeed formidable," Nansi said, stepping forward, his face cold as he looked at Deced. Although the outcome was unexpected, it made sense. The Demon race had once been the War Gods of the Divine Realm, known for feats of fighting against ten opponents at once.

If Deced didn't have such strength, Nansi would have doubted whether he was truly a Demon.

"Lord Nansi, what do we do now?" Hilton asked urgently. With Deced showing such power, even Hilton dared not make a move. His strength wasn't much greater than that of the two who had been killed.

"I want to see how strong the Demons really are. Everyone, attack together! He may have handled two, but can he handle a hundred?" Nansi sneered. Since Deced hadn't revealed his full strength, Nansi still believed Deced was at most a Nine-Star Upper Deity.

"Didn't you hear Lord Nansi? Attack! No mercy!" Hilton shouted, gritting his teeth.

"Boom…"

As soon as Hilton's words fell, the hundred Fallen Angels around him unleashed their power, filling the Holy City with a terrifying aura. In the next instant, they charged at Deced in unison.

"Fatty, leave that one for me," Sylvus said, still smiling as he pointed at Nansi.

"No problem!" Deced replied. In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished. When he reappeared, he was right in front of one of the leading attackers. "Die!"

"Slash…"

Staring at the Fallen Angel before him, Deced's eyes flashed with a murderous gleam. His right hand shot forward, piercing through the Fallen Angel's abdomen. The Fallen Angel screamed, his face filled with terror as he looked at his stomach, seeing Deced's hand tearing out his innards. His life force quickly faded, but what consumed him most was fear.
