--- Chapter 440 ---
After hearing Han Yuan's plan, Beta's expression changed drastically. If one looked closely, one would notice a rare hint of panic on his face.
Nonetheless, before Beta could complain, 'Alpha' already cut him off.
"Alpha, that madman..." Beta mumbled to himself. "I didn't expect that after calling me here, he would use me as a tireless workhorse."
"Wait, will this count as self-exploitation?"
"Damn, I hate it here!"
As Beta grumbled, the Slaughter God had fully recovered from his injury and was preparing to fight again.
He was planning to go all out this time.
The ruined divine armor and Beta's unorthodox offensive technique made Slaughter God realize just how dangerous this young man was.
At first, Slaughter God thought they were exchanging blows evenly, but he couldn't believe that a young mortal could injure him.
Although he couldn't touch Beta due to an "invisible" barrier around him, Beta also couldn't do much to him.
However, not only did Beta steal his divine force right under his nose, but he also used it to attack back. The same attack that bypassed Slaughter God's defenses even managed to injure his divine heart.
If it weren't for the Slaughter God's divine core, the very essence of his existence, he would have long been finished by that attack.
Recalling his near-death experience, Slaughter God's expression became solemn, and he prepared to activate the Divine Core's awakening to contend with this young man.
Beta glanced at Slaughter God and said, "What? I'm not interested, dude. Many girls are waiting for me at home."
"Can you please stop glaring at me like that?"
"You!" Slaughter God gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Heh." Beta smiled at Slaughter God's reaction. It was quite entertaining for him. He had been so bored in the Dou Qi Plane, primarily cultivating, researching, and spending time with the girls since his last meeting with Alpha.
"I hope you can still smile when I cut through your turtle-like shell, brat!" Slaughter God snorted, then released the Divine Core's awakening at full force, turning their surroundings into a bloody realm of slaughter.
Beta narrowed his eyes. "Is this another form of domain?"
"Heh, domain?"
"That's merely low-level mastery of concepts for you mortals!" Slaughter God retorted. "What you're witnessing today is total, absolute control of the world—a divine domain that strips the world of all authorities and submits to me, a God!"
"That's new," Beta commented honestly. After all, he had never heard of such a concept before. Perhaps even Alpha didn't know there was a higher realm of domain beyond what they understood.
Unfortunately, Beta would soon be disappointed by what he saw. While Slaughter God's display was impressive and grand, what he achieved was not as remarkable as it seemed. His goal was indeed something neither Beta nor Alpha had considered before.
Not only did the Slaughter God use his Divine Core to slice a "piece" of the world, creating a battlefield with his divine force, but he also turned it into a higher form of domain that others couldn't violate.
This "piece" of the world had undergone ascension, becoming a divine domain—a realm where a single law reigned supreme.
It transformed into a fourth-dimensional domain, a higher plane of existence than the third-dimensional world of mortals.
You could say this was Slaughter God's own court. There was no way to defeat a god in his domain, right?
Right?
That was Slaughter God's very thought when he devised this genius plan. To be honest, Beta couldn't counter this kind of stat suppression within a large-scale domain either. Moreover, as an outsider, he was experiencing the additional planar suppression he had faced earlier.
Now, maintaining the 'infinity' barrier would be very difficult for Beta. Of course, "difficult" and "impossible" are two very different terms. In the first place, Beta's true trump card wasn't infinity. Infinity was simply the first requirement to challenge him.
When Beta decided to abandon that defensive combat style, that was when the real beast came into play—a very wicked beast at that.
...
Back in the Dou Qi Continent, several individuals who were close to Beta couldn't help but shiver down their spines.
"Damn, what kind of thing is he planning to do now?"
"Someone's day, or even life, is about to be ruined!"

Slaughter God watched Beta in ecstasy, as he finally felt he could kill this annoying brat. He snapped his fingers and conjured countless slaughter weapons aimed at Beta.
"Wow, that's impressive..." Beta remained calm, still keeping his hands in his pockets. "You're going to such lengths to prevent me from using my infinity—I must admit, you're the first to try this."
"And to be honest, it's quite impressive."
"But that's it..."
"It seems that after becoming a God, you haven't managed to improve your own cultivation much. If it weren't for your Divine Core, your mastery over space would be abysmal."
"You're trying to create a beautiful picture by crafting a masterpiece to showcase on your canvas, but all I see is an incompetent artist struggling to grasp reality."
Slaughter God laughed heartily in response, "Haha! A beautiful picture? A masterpiece? An incompetent artist? Grasping reality? What do you know?!"
"When I killed you, those things were unnecessary! All I know is that you died by my hands!"
Beta smiled, "Come on, then. Do your best."
"Very well..." Slaughter God scoffed and unleashed a barrage of lethal weapons, raining blood from the sky. Each of these weapons could easily kill a Quasi-God powerhouse, and countless them filled the sky.
Beta closed his eyes. "My eyes hurt; there are too many flashes."
"You should have sued this guy for indecency."
"Jeez, does God not have morals?"
"Do you really have to speak nonsense in the face of death?! I hope you die with those last regretful words!" Slaughter God's expression twisted uncomfortably.
But then, the dramatic scene Slaughter God anticipated did not unfold. The golden aura that enveloped Beta flickered and transformed into a golden lance, appearing to be carved from an ancient holy tree.
Suddenly, countless dark-green hexagonal pieces emerged from Beta's body, orbiting him and forming a honeycomb-like pattern.
"No..." Slaughter God watched as his world-ending attack collided with Beta's defensive formation, easily destroying the hexagonal pieces.
However, as soon as the golden lance came into play, each of Slaughter God's weapons transformed into pure law energy, which Beta absorbed to create more of those hexagonal pieces.
Beta stood still and muttered, "As expected, the divine force you used in that attack is indeed lethal."
"But I must say, thank you for the feast."
"Now, let's continue our dance."
With that, Beta adopted a crouching stance in the sky, kicked off the air, and charged forward like a raging bull.
Swimming through the air like a fish navigating a current, Beta danced gracefully and quickly closed the distance to Slaughter God.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Incredible..." Many onlookers were mesmerized by the spectacle.
The City Lord, Ye Ziyun, watched in awe. "It's like he's truly dancing in the sky..."
"Yet, he's actually dancing on the edge of a knife."
"If he's not careful, those murderous weapons could injure him."
"Compared to him, my ultimate is nothing." She added weakly. Yet, at this moment, a blooming hope ignited in her cold heart.
"M-Maybe, we can truly be saved."
"My Glory City can still be saved..."
