Marvin was shocked.
Elemental Life Marks were specific to Elemental lifeforms.
Usually, the most effective way to kill an Elemental was to cut the Elemental Life Mark.
But the Elemental Life Marks were usually hidden.
In the game, the Elemental’s mark would only appear when it had 5% HP remaining.
It was at that time that the rogues would join the battle one after another.
Because striking hard and fast at a single point was the job of Assassins and Rangers!
But now, Marvin didn’t have to do anything to his opponent to have its Elemental Life Mark be faintly discernible.
‘What’s going on?’
Marvin was confused.
But he knew that this was an opportunity. And Marvin had always been good at grasping opportunities!
He suddenly disappeared!
Night Boundary!
“Woosh!”
His body suddenly rushed forward, almost hitting the Rock Monster!
In that split second, he felt a powerful force that tried to repel him!
But Marvin still slashed down!
The spatial slash of Sodom’s Blades landed on the Elemental Life Mark!
Something seemed to break.
Marvin looked over. Out of the original 9 Elemental Life Marks, only 8 now remained!
The attack was effective!
The chanting Rock Monster was frightened by Marvin’s dash and was injured by his attack!
It bellowed, shaking the entirety of the Collapsed Earth.
Sand flew everywhere, sticking to its body, seemingly forming a layer of protection.
“Turns out you are that weak…”
“Or did you use up all your power to suppress Tiramisu because you thought that I was an easy target?”
Indeed, the monster seemed to instinctively realize that it couldn’t afford to let the Eternal Time Dragon get free.
Marvin laughed, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
The next second, Sodom’s Blades burst out once more!
The crimson blades broke through the sand!
They cut through another Elemental Life Mark.
Even at that time, Marvin suddenly saw the source of that black light.
“Book of Nalu?!”
Chapter 726: Beast
Chapter 726: Beast
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
The 10th page of the Book of Nalu, Beast.
When he cut through the second Elemental Life Mark, Marvin immediately felt it.
His soul was already somewhat linked to the Book of Nalu, and thus, when the core of the Rock Monster was slightly exposed and then emitted the aura of the Book of Nalu, he felt it.
But because of the special structure of the Elemental body, the Elemental Life Mark had the effect of blocking the aura, which was why he hadn’t noticed it right away.
And now that he had cut down the 2nd Elemental Life Mark, the truth came to light.
‘The Collapsed Earth…’
‘Could this the part of the Elemental Plane of Earth have been corrupted by the Book of Nalu? Was this Rock Monster that looked like the Earth Sovereign the fiercest lifeform that had been here?’
‘But how could this explain its Earth Essence?’
Amidst the falling rocks, Marvin couldn’t help glancing at the young Dragon still being held down by a huge rock.
This was the first time he’d ever seen the Eternal Time Dragon in such a difficult situation. At least he’d had some room to move around in his old cage.
A powerful existence that could even face the War God was being flattened on the ground, unable to move.
From Tiramisu’s howls, Marvin could feel that he was really using all his might to try to escape!
But the weight of Earth Essence, combined with the power of the Book of Nalu, wasn’t something that the young Dragon could fight off.
An adult Eternal Time Dragon might have been able to resist the force. But to Tiramisu, who was much better with magic and time manipulation than physical feats, it was incredibly hard to overcome.
Fortunately, Marvin had found the secret of the Rock Monster. Tiramisu’s struggles were certainly having some effect. Either it would have to release the Eternal Time Dragon, or Marvin would cut it down.
It was harvest time!
…
The first two clashes had ended in Marvin completely suppressing it, proving once again how strong he had become.
At the same time, he had also figured out his opponent.
This Rock Monster definitely wasn’t the Earth Sovereign. With the strength of the Earth Sovereign, Marvin definitely wouldn’t have been able to cut two Elemental Life Marks!
The foe’s magic was very frightening. Each spell was overwhelming and had a large area of effect with a high lethality.
Usually, this kind of attack would be the bane of rogues, since an attack that blanketed a large area would leave little room to dodge away and escape.
But Marvin was different.
Marvin already exceeded the what could be described as just a rogue. The Night Ring on his hand was proof of it. He was the Universe’s most powerful rogue!
Only his silhouette could be seen flickering, ripping through the atmosphere!
Sodom’s Blades were cheering with excitement!
3rd slash! 3rd Elemental Life Mark shattered!
4th slash! 5th Slash! All the way to the 9th slash!
Despite the Rock Monster constantly raining rocks and spells down at Marvin, as well as using attacks that came from the ground, the 9th Elemental Life Mark was slashed apart.
The Rock Monster finally stopped showing resistance.
Its huge body shattered and quickly disintegrated into powder that then fell down from the sky.
Only a page was left, floating down with a dark aura.
The 10th page of the Book of Nalu, [Beast]!
Marvin solemnly extended his hands, opening the Wisdom Chapter and his Book of Nalu.
The black page seemed to want to resist, but because of the powerful suppression of the Wisdom Chapter, it was unable to move.
Marvin took a step forward, moving to capture it!
Under the pull of the other pages, the relatively powerful page became assimilated into the steadily growing Book of Nalu.
Marvin had now gathered 8 pages of the Book of Nalu!
Only three pages left before he could reform the item that had been left behind by the God of Deception, which was also possibly something that had been left behind by the Wisdom God to open the 4th Fate Tablet!
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling excited.
…
“Hey, I finally crawled out of there…”
Tiramisu came over with a sullen expression. “I didn’t expect that Rock Monster to actually have some skill and be able to suppress me.”
Marvin looked at Tiramisu and couldn’t help being startled. “The Earth Essence?”
As if he felt that it was obvious, the Dragon pointed out, “After you killed that guy, that stuff naturally flew away!”
“You sure it didn’t disappear?” Marvin asked, feeling startled. “It flew away?”
Tiramisu reasserted, “100% certain, I can still feel it, that strange thing is still in this plane.”
“Let’s go!” Marvin suddenly had a bad premonition.
But the next second, a few silhouettes appeared in the surroundings of the Collapsed Earth!
The completely surrounded Marvin and the Dragon.
The War God!
The Dawn and Protection God!
The Moon Goddess!
The Truth Goddess!
Besides these four top-level Gods, there were an extra ten Mid Gods and High Gods!
“The Astral Sea really thinks highly of us,” Marvin joked with a smile.
A formation made of two Ancient Gods, two Great Gods, and many other Gods, even if the Night Monarch were alive and well, he might find it difficult
to fight against such a formation.
His only hope was that Tiramisu could still whisk them away from there.
But then, a quiet voice echoed in his heart. “Stall for time! This handsome Dragon suffered from that attack earlier! It left suppressive aftereffects, and I also might have used too much effort trying to break free.”
“I’ll need at least half an hour to recover and be able to properly use my time-related abilities.”
Marvin smiled bitterly!
‘Half an hour!’
‘Is this a joke?’
‘Stalling so many Gods for that long?’
It wasn’t like Marvin could just take out a deck of cards and invite the Gods to sit down and play, hoping to persuade them that they could resume the fight after half an hour?
It seemed that Tiramisu also felt that the suggestion was too unreasonable, and he lowered his head, mulling over something.
…
“Marvin, I have to admit that you gave us a lot of surprises.” Anuba Grant sighed somewhat before continuing, “But you brought too many troubles to the God Realms. Three innocent Gods fell because of you. You are the holder of Sodom’s Blades, we can’t let you go out of control.”
“I thought that the Valkyrie made a mistake, but now it seems that you might really be the prophesied Destroyer.”
“Only a true Destroyer would have such thick killing intent.”
Marvin couldn’t help laughing when he heard such hypocrisy. “Oh, Great Grant~” he sarcastically jeered, “anyone that killed a lot is a Destroyer? I inherited the will of the Night Monarch. As the Guardian of Feinan, the Night Monarch killed millions of outsiders that came to invade the lands. Why aren’t you saying that he was a Destroyer?”
Grant shook his head, not saying anything in response.
It was actually the War God who sneered, “Grant is always trying to take the moral high ground as he spouts a bunch of nonsense. I’ll be blunt with you.”
“Marvin, if you hand over the Fate Tablet and give me that young Dragon, I’ll guarantee your life. No one will dare to harm you here!”
These words shocked quite a few Gods.
They had never thought that the War God would ever say something like this in front of all the others!
Some chaos appeared within the forces of the Gods.
Marvin felt some hope.

It seemed that there was no harmony between the Gods.
Well, it was true that every one of them seemed to want to get the Fate Tablet and possess the powerful force that it contained.
For Marvin, the hostility between the Gods seemed to be something he could use.
The situation was very difficult, after all. If there really was a fight, he wouldn’t be able to win. And even escaping seemed like a luxury.
But before he said anything, a gentle voice echoed across the plane. “This land has not seen so many gathered together for a long time.”
“Grant, Anubis, Faniya… Molly… Long time no see.”
When they heard this voice, the Gods were shocked!
‘Who was it?’
‘Someone dared to call the most powerful Gods by their names!
But what shocked them the most was that the Great Gods and Ancient Gods didn’t become angry. They actually forced themselves to smile.
“Great Earth Elemental Lord, the God Realms pay their highest respect.” Anuba Grant put a palm on his chest in a salute as he bowed respectfully!
In the sky, a shadow quickly took form.
It shaped into what was a seemingly very ordinary middle-aged man.
Everyone could see that it was just an avatar.
But just this Avatar was awe-inspiring enough.
The Gods weren’t total fools. There was only one entity that the God of Dawn and Protection would bow his head to in this plane, and it was that one lord.
All the Gods saluted one after the other.
The Elemental Plane Sovereigns were the pillars of the entire Universe, they were the existences worthy of the highest respect.
Only Faniya and Molly just nodded.
These two Ancient Gods had befriended the Earth Sovereign a long time ago. They were acquaintances, so there was no need to be too courteous.
Marvin and Tiramisu glanced at each other, and each saw the look in the other’s eyes.
This was getting more interesting.
Not only had the Gods gathered in the Collapsed Earth, but the Earth Sovereign had also come to join in on the fun!
This guy was part of the very foundation of the Universe.
The War God was very troublesome, but he was far from being comparable to the Earth Sovereign, let alone now that he was here, in the Earth Sovereign’s home!
Even if the four top Gods joined hands, they might only be able to hold the Earth Sovereign to a standstill. The others wouldn’t affect a fight of that scale in the slightest.
Thus, even the arrogant Gods chose to bow their heads.
They were acting like mortals here.
But at this time, Marvin wasn’t feeling burdened.
The more that came, the better.
The more troublesome things got, the better.
This was all that he felt about the situation.
He really had too many enemies. He would have a much better opportunity to find a way out amidst the chaos, and it could also help stall for time to let the Eternal Time Dragon recover.
If Tiramisu recovered, then there would be few people in this Universe that could stop them without the element of surprise! But the Earth Sovereign was certainly one of them!
…
After the Earth Sovereign’s avatar descended, the situation became more complicated.
Marvin was calmly waiting for something big to happen.
No one expected that as the Sovereign’s gaze swept over everyone, it would stop on Marvin!
His expression softened, looking much gentler. “You are Marvin.”
“Seems like you met some trouble.”
Marvin was startled. Earlier, he had thought that the Earth Sovereign had come for the Fate Tablet, but what about his tone now? What was going on?
As for the Gods of the Astral Sea, they were all shocked.
Especially Grant and Anubis. They both had rather agitated expressions.
The greeting of the Earth Sovereign made them think of some unpleasant possibilities.
Sure enough, the Earth Sovereign’s next words to Marvin sounded very polite. “You helped me deal with quite a problem. I owe you one.”
“Thus, you can rest assured that in this plane, no one will dare to harm you.”
Marvin was extremely shocked. When had he helped the Earth Sovereign?
Among the Gods, one of them couldn’t take it and entreated, “Respected Earth Elemental Sovereign, Marvin has…”
“Woosh!”
That person disappeared from the Elemental Plane of Earth.
The Earth Sovereign calmly asked, “Ladies and gentlemen, do I have to see you out myself?”
Marvin and Tiramisu were dumbstruck!
What was tyrannical?
This was so domineering.
Without the slightest movement, he banished a God and threatened the God Realms!
And even four of the most powerful Gods were standing in front of him.
But the Earth Sovereign didn’t seem to care why they were here.
He only invited them to leave.
Anubis clenched his fists, while Grant shook his head.
“Since that is the case, we will excuse ourselves.” Grant remained respectful enough, and after saluting again, he left without a trace.
He knew how frightening the Earth Sovereign was. Even if the Gods somehow beat him in his home realm, they would most likely end up crippled!
The Gods looked at each other in dismay, not having expected Grant to w
ithdraw so quickly without any protest.
The War God coldly snorted and left too.
The other Gods also left one after the other, up until only Faniya and Molly were still left behind.
“Is there anything that the two of you need to say?” The Earth Sovereign’s voice felt like a spring wind.
“Nothing really. I am only curious,” Faniya said. “Protecting a mortal does not sound like you.”
The Earth Sovereign calmly responded, “Since the birth of this world, my duty has always been to protect mortals.”
Faniya chuckled and shook her head before leaving too. She was originally motivated by the fact that Marvin had killed three Gods, leading to the foundations of the God Realms to almost crumble.
But since the Earth Sovereign had appeared in his defense, she had no need to reason to stay.
The Truth Goddess, the last one left, gave Marvin a glance and softly said, “It seems that I don’t have to make a move this time.”
“You are very lucky.”
She then also disappeared from the Elemental Plane of Earth.
After a few seconds, the originally crowded Collapsed Earth was deserted, leaving Marvin feeling a bit uncomfortable!
“It seems that even if I didn’t appear personally, Molly wouldn’t have let you come to harm by their hands,” the Earth Sovereign mused while looking at Marvin. “You actually have some good relationships.”
Marvin felt embarrassed.
Good relationships? His enemies spanned the entire Universe.
If he hadn’t been worried about a disaster befalling White River Valley, he wouldn’t have needed to leave his Sanctuary, entrusting the place to others.
The words of the Earth Sovereign felt like banter.
“Respected Earth Lord. Thank you for helping me. I’m very curious, we haven’t met before, have we?”
Marvin was still curious about why the Earth Sovereign personally sent the Gods packing.
The old man laughed, “That is true.”
“But you still helped me without knowing it.”
“That [Beast] page in your hands almost destroyed me.”

The Earth Sovereign’s words made Marvin curious.
The lifeform with nine Elemental Life Marks that he had just killed definitely was related in some way to the Earth Sovereign.
