Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

Title: "Breaking Promises and Defying the Heavens"

"Rest assured, I said I wouldn't kill you, and I won't. Now, tell me the location you know," Sylvus said.

Grey nodded and finally revealed the general location of the Heart of Titan. This was something he had only discovered after staying in the Undead World for over ten thousand years. Without such experience, an average person would have never known.

"Can I leave now?" Grey asked, looking at Sylvus.

"Of course!"

Sylvus smiled slightly, and in the next moment, Grey's internal power suddenly exploded. Grey immediately screamed in agony, staring at Sylvus in disbelief.

"You... you actually went back on your word!" Grey gritted his teeth at Sylvus. Didn't he fear divine punishment for breaking his oath?

Sylvus looked at Grey with some surprise. He hadn't died yet. It seemed the power of the Deity still had some use.

"So what!"

Sylvus continued, his voice calm as he landed another blow. Grey's expression turned to one of terror—this time, Sylvus truly intended to kill him.

"I won't accept this! My fallen angel clan will not let you off! Soon, powerful beings from the divine realm will come to this continent and destroy all of you... Ah!"

With Grey's last words, his body disintegrated into ashes, disappearing completely from the world.

But just as Grey died, Sylvus suddenly began to shine, and dark clouds gathered in the sky above.

This was the lightning tribulation summoned because Sylvus had broken his oath, drawing the divine punishment.

"A mere divine punishment—what can it do to me?" Sylvus scoffed.

Others feared breaking an oath and summoning divine punishment, but he was not afraid.

Soon, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky toward Sylvus. However, as it approached, it turned into a mass of energy. The onlookers shook their heads in disbelief.

If it were anything else, it might pose some danger to the boss, but heavenly lightning? Not even close.

Bolt after bolt descended from the heavens. Sylvus, however, condensed them into spheres of lightning energy, but the dark clouds above still showed no sign of dissipating.

"Is this endless? Shatter for me!" Sylvus sneered at the clouds still brewing thunder.

The dozens of lightning energy balls in front of him merged into a single stream of light, surging towards the clouds.

A blinding white light flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening roar.

"Did... did it scatter?" Everyone was momentarily stunned at the scene before them.

They saw the dark clouds dissipate rapidly, as if faced with something terrifying.

Everyone looked at Sylvus in awe. They knew the boss could take the lightning tribulation head-on, but they hadn't expected that he could completely destroy it.

As the dark clouds scattered, they realized that even the laws of this world feared this man.

"You know what's good for you," Sylvus said coldly, looking back at the crowd.

"What are you all standing around for? Go gather my payment!"

"Ah? Oh, oh, boss, don't worry, we'll get all the magic crystals within three days," everyone replied cautiously as they snapped out of their daze.

Sylvus waved his hand dismissively, losing interest in them. He had fulfilled his promise; if they didn't pay, they knew what awaited them.

Soon, the crowd dispersed, showing great respect for Sylvus's small shop. At that moment, Sylvus had gained the recognition of all the powerful beings on the continent of Aisral .

They knew the strongest on Aisral was none other than the owner of a little shop in a small alley—Sylvus.

After returning to his room, Sylvus found himself with nothing much to do, so he continued cultivating. The sooner he became a god, the sooner he could visit the divine realm and see if it was as great as they said.

After Elena and the others left, they flew towards the palace. Over a hundred people gathered in the grand hall, discussing their next course of action.

"Everyone, the strongest being of the Undead has been dealt with. Next, we need to clear out the rest of the undead. This small task isn't worth bothering the boss with. Does anyone have any suggestions?" Boone asked with a smile.

Though the thirteen kings were dead, there were still many powerful undead remaining. They could deal with them, but it would be troublesome.

"What suggestions do we need? Of course, we go directly to wipe them out. This is a rare opportunity, and we must eradicate all of the undead to prevent future threats," Ronald said as he stood up.

No one was surprised by Ronald's attitude. After all, they knew why he felt this way. If the undead weren't cleared, how could the dwarves enter the Undead World to find the Heart of Titan?

"Emperor Boone, I also agree to clear out the undead. However, we need to wait a bit until our elven clan breaks the bloodline seal. Once we do, dealing with the undead will be no trouble," Elena said calmly.

"Queen Elena, it's not our place to interfere with the elven clan's matters, but you should at least tell us how long it will take to break the seal. If it takes too long, we may not be able to wait," someone said.

"Rest assured, five days will be enough. If our elven clan hasn't broken the seal by then, we will join you in fighting the undead."

"Alright, since no one has any objections, we will launch the final attack in five days. We should now gather our forces in the Abyss to prevent any undead from escaping," Boone said.

Everyone nodded. The undead in the Abyss were still unaware that their kings were dead, so they remained in place, but there was always a chance that some might become restless.

Afterward, everyone left, and Boone sighed as he looked towards Mor and Mashi beside him.

"Uncle Three, Grand Mage Mashi, if the elves and dwarves both break their bloodline seals, their power will far exceed ours. At that time, our human clan could be in trouble."

He wasn't sure what the elves and dwarves would do after becoming stronger, but the human clan would surely become the weakest, and they wouldn't be able to control certain matters.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we need to worry too much. Even if the two clans become stronger, we humans still have Boss Sylvus. With him around, neither of the two clans would dare to make a move against us," Mashi said with a smile.

"Exactly. Although Boss Sylvus seems indifferent to us, his willingness to help this time shows that he's still willing to support us," Mor added.

"I hope so," Boone said with a smile, shaking his head as he looked outside. It seemed that the human clan also needed to become stronger.
