Joelson's brows twitched slightly.

He did not expect that the day he arrived would be the day of the selection.

The black-golden sun spun quickly, and then suddenly shot out exactly 10,000 rays of golden light. Then, it stopped.

The golden light shot out in different directions, and a few of them headed towards the palace.

A few miserable screams immediately rang out from outside the palace, but they quickly died down.

Joelson saw that Jeremy's face had turned ugly.

It seemed that one of the dead losers was the domain of the gods he had led. He recognized the voice.

Joelson was preparing to control his destructive divine spark to devour the power of the laws of slaughter. He had already comprehended six types of arcane mysteries from the laws of slaughter and would definitely be selected as the victor of the top 100.

Suddenly, Joelson noticed the dozen or so demigods in the palace and thought of his plan.

He planned to release all of them from the Land of Slaughter before leaving the Land of Slaughter.

These people hated the Land of Slaughter the most. Once they left, they would definitely stir up the entire territory of Augustellan.

This was the surprise that Joelson had prepared for Augustellan.

However, the killers were also the most afraid of the Watchers. They were like small elephants that had been chained for a long time. Even if one day it grew into an elephant and had enough strength to break free from the chains, it would no longer have such thoughts.

It was the same for these killers. If they wanted to riot, they had to make everyone believe in his strength.

The first step was to make these people completely submit to him!

Thinking of this, Joelson no longer controlled the destructive divine spark to devour the power of the law of slaughter.

The 10,000 losers quickly died.

Immediately after, the black-golden sun shot out another 100 light pillars.

One of the light pillars pierced through the palace and enveloped Joelson's body.

The people in the palace had ugly expressions. If it was before, they might have envied Joelson for being able to leave the Land of Slaughter.

But now, they knew about the conspiracy of the day of selection.

The fate of the victor was not freedom but death!

The light column covered Joelson's body. A force tried to lift him up into the black-golden sun.

Joelson took out the sword of slaughter and held it in his hand. Dark red lightning slowly flowed on the tip of the sword, exuding a terrifying power.

Sensing an unstoppable power coming from the light beam, Joelson released the destruction law with all his strength, even using his arcane will.

Then, Joelson swung his sword fiercely in the direction of the black-golden sun. A light blade made of dark red lightning slashed across the light beam.

Terance widened his eyes, not daring to believe what was happening in front of him.

The light beam that enveloped Joelson was split in half from the middle. Along with the trajectory of the dark red light blade, it continued to spread toward the black sun.

Everyone in the palace was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.

"The pillar of light has been cut?"

After a long time, Jeremy reacted and cried out in surprise.

The people who were in a daze were awakened by the scream.

Terance's heart was extremely shaken and his gaze towards Joelson became respectful.

This sword strike that cut through the black-golden sunlight pillar was too shocking!

Such a thing had never happened in the Land of Slaughter.

He knew that it was impossible for him to cut through the black-golden sunlight beam like this!

Even if another 100,000 years passed, he might not be able to do it!

Joelson was too strong!

Moreover, being able to cut through the light beam, did that mean that Joelson was able to cut through the golden light beam that was used to kill the losers?

If that was the case, wouldn't he be able to stay in the Land of Slaughter forever?

Thinking of this, Terance looked expectant and asked, "Sir, can you help me cut through the light pillar next time? Otherwise, it would be too wasteful to transfer the power of slaughter to other things every time."

"I am willing to offer this palace to..."

Halfway through his words, Terance suddenly froze. When he saw that the palace had been chopped in half by the sword-light, he felt rather awkward.

Joelson's face was calm. "There won't be a next time."

Terance was stunned for a moment, then revealed an extremely shocked expression.

...

Somewhere in the ownerless city.

More than ten deities and demigods were gathered together, discussing something.

"Did you see what happened yesterday?" A deity asked.

"Such a huge commotion. Who wouldn't have seen it? The entire Land of Slaughter can see it!"

"Do you know who did it? He was actually able to cut through the black-gold sun's pillar of light!"

"It must have been one of the most powerful experts! With this sort of power, it probably won't be long before he can rule over the entire Land of Slaughter!"

"But why would the strongest do this? Don't they all have a way?"

"Don't you know? After each screening day, the strongest will be at their weakest. Their methods always have a price!"

"So it's not done by the strongest? There are people stronger than the strongest in the Land of Slaughter?"

Suddenly, two laughs sounded from the side.

Everyone turned their heads in puzzlement.

The two people who had laughed were Hardy and Jeremy.

Among the crowd, someone recognized the two and asked, "Hardy? Jeremy? What are you laughing at?"

Hardy stopped laughing and looked at the crowd, saying, "Of course there's someone stronger than the strongest in the Land of Slaughter!"

Hearing Hardy's words, someone immediately retorted with disdain.

"How is that possible? If someone is stronger than the strongest, why didn't he become the strongest?"

"That's right! The strongest are publicly recognized as the strongest in the Land of Slaughter!"

Jeremy looked at the person who spoke and snorted coldly, saying, "Who said he didn't become the strongest? It's just that he's not the strongest now!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment and revealed a puzzled expression. Then, they seemed to have thought of something.

"You mean the strongest person in the past?"

"Impossible! They were all killed by the Watchers!"

Some people did not believe Jeremy's words and retorted.

Everyone also revealed doubtful gazes.

This news was too unbelievable.

The Watchers released the news that they were killed, and now you said that someone survived and that their strength was even more terrifying than before?

How could this be possible?

In the past, none of the most powerful experts had ever done such a thing.

However, there were also some who didn't retort. Instead, they put on a thoughtful look and said, "You mean... the overseer had released false news?"

"That's right! Do you still remember what happened back then? The most powerful experts wantonly hunted demigods, all for the sake of pushing a person to the level of a god!"

Jeremy looked at everyone and said.

"Are you talking about..."

"Joelson?"

Everyone cried out in disbelief.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. In short, Lord Joelson has a way to escape from the Land of Slaughter. If you want to bring everyone from the Land of Slaughter and escape, it's up to you whether you want to come or not!"

After Jeremy finished speaking, he left with Hardy, not giving anyone the chance to ask questions.

The crowd looked at the backs of the two people as they left. They looked at each other, not knowing if they should believe what he said.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after we go and take a look!"
