This was his strongest strike, condensed from his innate Thunder Body, the authority of the God of Thunder, the nine Primordial Thunders, and supreme Dao laws.
Order Divine Thunder!
Gehr looked at the lightning in Wan Lei's hand, its aura making him tremble with fear, so much so that he couldn't muster any desire to resist.
He couldn't take it!
Escape!
Gehr turned and fled. However, just as he flew a few kilometers, the Order Thunder behind him struck him in an instant.
Gehr, the Godslayer capable of slaughtering gods, only managed to let out a miserable scream before turning into dust.
Yet, this powerful and terrifying strike, which had turned Gehr to dust, did not harm the Godslaying Sword in the slightest.
Wan Lei reached out, and the Godslaying Sword, which was falling downwards, flew directly into his hand.
He didn't rush to take the Godslaying Sword; instead, he used the Myriad Stars Micro-Dust Array to refine it.
After all, the lesson from rashly grabbing the magic ring was still fresh in his mind.
After refining the Godslaying Sword, Wan Lei took it into his hand. At that moment, a dark will entered his mind.
At this moment, Wan Lei felt a delusion of his strength being infinitely enhanced.
However, the dark will of the Godslaying Sword was not as potent as that of the magic ring. Wan Lei had cultivated the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill and guarded his spiritual platform, so the will could not control him.
The dark will of the Godslaying Sword was different from the magic ring.
The dark will of the magic ring was tyranny, resentment, the hatred accumulated by countless sacrificed demons, hating everything in the world, wishing to destroy everything.
The will of the Godslaying Sword, however, was hatred, hating all living beings, hating all existence, hating all injustice in the world.
Of course, both carried the will to destroy the world.
Wan Lei gave a wry smile. If he wore the magic ring and wielded the Godslaying Sword, he would likely become a killing machine devoid of any emotion.
Putting away the Godslaying Sword, Wan Lei flew towards the divine palace.
At this moment, in front of the divine palace, everyone was eagerly awaiting his return.
Wan Lei landed before them, retracted his armor, and looked at everyone with a smile.
Seeing how young Wan Lei was, the people of the Divine Realm praised him for possessing such high combat power at such a young age.
Only Freya, upon seeing Wan Lei's appearance, felt a hint of disappointment. She had harbored a sliver of hope that the figure beneath the armor might be her son.
Now, that small, beautiful hope had also been dashed.
"Huh? Your cultivation has broken through again? Golden Immortal realm?"
Xia Yubing exclaimed in surprise, sensing the aura from Wan Lei.
Upon hearing this, everyone else dispersed their spiritual senses to investigate and found it to be true.
"No way, aren't you too monstrous? Two major realms in three days? You only broke through to the Boundless Realm the day before yesterday!"
Tian Suanzi's jaw dropped, his mouth agape in disbelief.
"It's nothing, nothing."
Wan Lei smiled. He didn't intend to tell others in this setting that he had re-integrated the nine Primordial Thunders of the Moral Plane, causing his cultivation to break through overnight.
After all, the matter of integrating Primordial Thunders would immediately make the people of the Divine Realm associate it with the God of Thunder.
Odin hosted a celebration banquet and invited Wan Lei and others to attend. After some thought, Wan Lei agreed; it was just a meal, and returning later wouldn't matter.
The four little ones, hearing there was good food, eagerly ran inside.
The banquet was held in the divine palace. The people of the Divine Realm laid out a long table, a typical Western-style dining table.
Odin sat at the head of the table. To his left were the gods, including Freya, Loki, Tyr, Sif, and Valkyrie.
To his right were Wan Lei, Fang Xiaoyu, and the rest of the Thunder Rain team, along with General Shang Liu and several other reinforcement generals.
During the feast, the deities opposite them rose one by one to introduce themselves. Wan Lei easily "remembered" their names.
What caught his attention was a young boy sitting beside Freya, with lightning flickering in his eyes.
As they clinked glasses and the wine flowed, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became livelier. Odin and the other gods listened intently as the Thunder Rain team spoke of the outside world.
Just as they were happily chatting, Wan Lei suddenly noticed that Loki, who had been silent, had disappeared at some point.
He swept his spiritual sense and found him on a cliff not far from the divine palace, on the divine mountain.
"I'm going out for a walk."
Wan Lei whispered to Fang Xiaoyu, then stood up and went out.
Fang Xiaoyu vaguely guessed what he was going to do and remained silent, not following.
After leaving the divine palace, Wan Lei flew to Loki's side.
"Everyone is celebrating, why did you run out here alone?"
Wan Lei held a goblet and took a sip of wine.
"Waiting for you to find me."
Loki smiled, looking at the clouds on the mountainside with deep eyes.
"How did you know I would come looking for you?"
Wan Lei did not smile; instead, he was very serious.
"Because... I always felt that you seemed to know me, and you harbored hostility towards me, even to the point of wanting to kill me.
I don't know where your hostility towards me comes from, but I'm not someone who likes to keep things hidden.
After the celebration banquet, you'll be leaving. I thought that if I didn't seize the opportunity to meet you now, I would never be able to clarify this doubt in my life.
Loki turned around, squinted slightly, and looked at Wan Lei.
"Have we met before?"
Wan Lei leaned against the railing, finished the wine in his hand in one gulp, pondered for a long time, then shook his head with a smile.
"No."
"Then why..."
"I just checked some information before coming. The Five Elements Hall's records stated that you are a cunning and treacherous person, and also afraid of death. I am a warrior, and I naturally despise people like you, so it's understandable that I'd want to kill you.
Later, seeing you defend the Divine Realm so desperately, I no longer wanted to kill you."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
Loki clearly did not believe him.
"There are only two of us here. With your abilities, killing me silently would be too easy. Think carefully, if you don't kill me now, you won't have another chance."
After a moment, Wan Lei sighed heavily, shook his head.
"I won't kill you. If I kill you, your divine father and divine mother will be sad. You've also changed, becoming... like a warrior. I believe you will become a defender of the Divine Realm in the future."
Loki was about to say something more when the young boy Arthur ran over.
"Brother Loki, Father God wants you to come over immediately. It's time for rewards and recognition."
"Alright."
Loki gave Wan Lei a deep look and turned to run towards the divine palace.
Wan Lei waved at Arthur, and young Arthur excitedly ran over.
"Big brother, I saw you fight. You're so amazing! I want to become a strong person like you too."
Little Arthur exclaimed, waving his fists excitedly.
Wan Lei crouched down and asked with a smile.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Arthur, and I am the new God of Thunder of the Divine Realm."
The new God of Thunder...
Wan Lei looked at Arthur with eyes full of care and affection.
"You will become the new God of Thunder of the Divine Realm."
In his hand, a small hammer appeared...
