Sterl exuded confidce.


    Previously, in the Principality of Florce, he had only managed to modify the original Blood Sacrifice Swallowing God Array, yet it had already rdered a divine-level demon''s Source of Energy powerless to resist.


    And now…


    What he was constructing was theplete version of the Blood Sacrifice Array, and its effects would be ev stronger.


    Once the array waspleted, there would be a chance to y a god!


    However, normal deities were unlikely to be foolish ough to let Sterl leisurely set up a formation to kill them.


    They could easily escape before the array was fully formed.


    Moreover, before reaching divine status himself, it was quite difficult for Sterl to perfectly conceal the sub-formation of the Blood Sacrifice Array, to the point where ev divine beings could not detect it.


    Gods could also take action in advance to disrupt Sterl''s setup.


    In summary…


    Sterl possessed the ability to y gods, but he was not reckless ough to actually attempt such a thing; that would be akin to seeking death!


    The only ce that prested a perfect opportunity was the Heavly Curtain Canyon.


    This was because Sterl could control the progress of merging the six Heavly Curtain cores.


    He could sure that before the appearance of the sevth boss, the array would be fully charged and ready to go.


    Additionally, the Heavly Curtain Canyon itself had natural spatial sealing effects, meaning teleportation abilities wouldn''t work, which also facilitated the operation of the Blood Sacrifice Array.


    Therefore, after some consideration, Sterl felt that aside from exploiting bugs, this was the best ce to unleash the Blood Sacrifice Array.


    Ev better…


    The stronger the existce produced from merging the Heavly Curtain cores, the better; otherwise, Sterl would lose out on a portion of the array materials!


    "If the array really can''t hold them, I should still be able to escape using the two resurrection armors," Sterl thought, reminding himself that he only needed a momt to op the Gate of Hell and flee.


    After setting up the first formation, Sterl was initially quite satisfied with his operations and was in a good mood, but his expression darked again as he saw various private messagesing in.


    Once again, members of the Twilight Guild were seeking his help, and some ev st videos.


    "Bro, please give me a break! Today is the deadline for my mission, and if I can''t submit it, the Hall of Valor will expel me!"


    "Please, we''re just ordinary guild members. Why do you have to be like this?"


    In the footage, a yer from the Twilight Guild looked desperate.


    He was stuck outside the Assembly Hall, unable to submit his quest.


    Instead, he was blocked by several legdary yers, standing there in a state of panic as if being publicly humiliated.


    A them, a number of yers were discussing among themselves.


    "That''s the unfortunate guy from the Twilight Guild."


    "Yeah, I heard it''s an SSS-level guild, but it''s useless; they can''t ev protect their own members."


    "Thank goodness we joined a guild that''s not like this garbage guild."


    …


    These passing yers were simply expressing their guine dismay; having a guild buff reduced to this was indeed not worth it.


    The video soon came to an d, leaving Sterl uncertain whether the member of the Twilight Guild had managed to submit his task. Fortunately, the guild member who st the video had added a note indicating that Sosia and Sonis used their own Valor Contribution Points to exempt the blocked yer from this month''s task.


    Otherwise, a member of the Twilight Guild would have truly faced expulsion from the Hall of Valor.


    At this momt, Sterl''s smile gradually faded, reced by a scowl.


    It wasn''t just the arrogant demeanor of the legdary yers in the video that angered him; it was the fact that this tactic was indeed a death knell for the Twilight Guild.


    The guild''s greatest vulnerabilityy not in the forces behind it—at least they had a demigod backing them—but in the weakness of the yers within the guild itself. A mere few legdary yers could easily suppress them, leaving the members of Twilight powerless to do anything.


    They could effectively use this method of blocking task submissions to force yers to either leave the Twilight Guild or be expelled by the Hall of Valor.


    If this continued…


    In a month''s time, the morale would surely dissipate, and the guild would inevitably copse.


    At that momt, another private message popped into Sterl''s inbox, forcibly st through an item.


    "David, you should have se it. As long as we''re a, your guild will never be able to operate normally. Sell it to us."


    "SSS guild, we''ll offer you a fair price."


    Apanying the message was a quote—60,000 Valor Contribution Points.


    This was a rather low offer.


    These demigod guilds did not follow the typical narrative trope of offering an insulting price, as se in various novels.


    A material from an SSS-level guild, regardless of its rarity, was valued at a 0,000 Valor Contribution Points.


    However, it was a case of supply not meeting demand, as these materials were produced in very limited quantities.


    Due to this scarcity, the so-called SSS-level guilds in the outside world were oft only ranked as SSS at the first level, while their subsequt guild levels were merely double S or ev single S.


    The demigod guilds aimed to seize Twilight primarily to promote their own guilds as SSS-level in the future.


    They had no inttion of continuously establishing several SSS-level guilds that could provide powerful buffs or pottially yield extremely rare items in the contribution shop.


    Moreover, the SSS-level guilds were se as somewhat useless; their valuey only in their promotional capacity, which ultimately did not trante into actual market value for SSS-level materials.


    However…


    Sterl could only sneer coldly, realizing that this trade request ev suggested he, as the guild leader, meet them face-to-face.


    It was clear that these guilds had no inttion of actually paying up.


    After all, David''s status was merely that of a third-ss yer. If they met face-to-face, those demigod guilds could easily use their Honorable Kill privileges to control him. At that point…


    It would be more than ough if they didn''t have to expd any Valor Contribution Points to keep "David" from suffering losses.


    "However… your biggest mistake is executing an unsolvable n."


    "This n still needs a month to take effect."


    Sterl let out a coldugh and shut down the private message.


    He th hurriedly made his way toward the next boss.


    …


    At this momt, the Heavly Curtain Canyon had reshaped itself after absorbing all the fragmts of space.


    In a decaying buildingplex to the southwest, a figure shrouded in a strange aura walked casually forward. Each of his steps seemed light, yet he could cover a significant distance with ease.


    Behind him was a boss strategy team.


    If Sterl were prest, he would undoubtedly recognize that among the many yers he had countered after defeating the boss were members of this strategy team.


    Once they were able to sd out information from the Heavly Curtain Canyon, they had already called in reinforcemts.


    Or rather, they had summoned powerful demigods seeking to profit significantly from the canyon''s unique mechanisms.


    The demigod in front of them was a wed demigod.


    wed demigods refer to those whose corresponding Law Power has reached a deficit level.


    The power of a demigod is not categorized by levels.


    Ev if you reach level 500, if your Law Power is only at the wed level, you are still a wed demigod. There are also perfect demigods andplete demigods, and th…


    There is the Supreme!


    The so-called Supreme is a being that possesses at least two types of perfect Law Power.


    Demigods of this level are nearly the strongest beings beath the gods.


    This is because with two types of Law Power that canplemt each other, the power they can unleash is incredibly terrifying.


    Of course, demigods also have a special realm where twoplemtary Laws begin to merge, forming the initial divine authority.


    While divine authority can also be derived from a single Law, having another Law Power to aid in the fusion makes forming divine authority much easier.


    Taking Sterl''s Moon Law as an example, to create the moon divine authority, one could study this Law to its extreme, but it could also bebined with Laws like Radiance or Mercury to assist in forming the divine authority.


    A demigod that has partially fused divine authority—


    Has reached the pseudo-god realm. The unfused divine authority has no actual effect, but thebat power of a pseudo-god is on par with that of a Supreme. However, pseudo-gods can esstially advance to god level with ough time, cing them in a highly esteemed position.


    Because of their guaranteed advancemt, pseudo-gods rarely expose themselves to avoid being hunted down by the vious Supremes.


    At this momt, the demigodin the abandoned buildingplex frowned slightly.


    "I''ve ssed the presce of several demigods arriving."


    "Our side''s strgth is still rtively weak."


    His tone was filled with helplessness.


    "What about the guild leader?"


    "Did we make a mistake…?"


    The members of the boss strategy team asked timidly.


    The demigodreferred to as the guild leader merely shook his head. "It''s fine; it was my own choice toe here and take a chance, so I can''t me anyone else."


    "Look over there…"


    Th, this demigodactivated a power simr to the Law of Space, veloping the members of the boss strategy team and himself before teleporting them into a distant hollow of a massive tree.


    Peering through the tree hollow at the outside world, their expressions turned pale with horror.


    "Is that the perfect-level Curse Law demigod, Rosalie?"


    Although the yers did not voice their concerns to avoid exposure, they felt a sse of unease in their hearts.


    Below them stood a demigodd in purple sheer fabric, revealing her alluring figure, yet her body was marked with strange patterns and gruesome scars.


    Possessing a perfect-level Curse Law, she was clearly much stronger than their guild leader, who had only a wed Space Law.


    Behind Rosalie, there was also a group of yers, clearly having signaled for the arrival of this perfect-level demigod.


    "Guild leader, what should we do?"


    Someone st a private message to the demigodwho mastered Space Law, but he remained calm. "Don''t rush; let''s wait and see."


    "Rosalie is currtly dealing with this boss. Her Curse Law is rtively inefficit against this type of boss; she''ll need to stack a lot of buffs to take it down."


    "If there are other perfect-level demigods that havee to the Heavly Curtain Canyon, they will surely be unable to resistpeting for the kill. We''re not the only observers here."


    "Although we''ve figured out the mechanics now, it should take defeating six special bosses to trigger the final boss of the Heavly Curtain Canyon."


    "But no one knows if the ones who kill these six bosses will receive any additional befits."


    "As for our weak strgth, let''s just observe for now."
