Chapter 3669: False God

The few people following behind Fang Heng exchanged glances and carefully swallowed.
A secret passage?
How had he noticed it?
Fang Heng walked into the opening in the shattered rock wall and moved forward along the passage.
The passage was not long, only a little over ten meters. At the end of it was a spacious hall.
The hall was simply furnished, with only a tall sacrificial altar set in the center.
A ray of sunlight fell through a crack in the top of the cavern, landing directly on the divine statue atop the altar.
"Oh? There was a divine statue hidden here too?"
It had been hidden so deeply that if his senses had not been extremely sharp to the power of faith, and if he had not carefully scanned the entire island with perception, he would have almost missed it.
Fang Heng muttered to himself as he examined the divine statue on the altar.
Unlike any divine statue he had seen before, this one was a different deep green color, and the face carved into the statue looked savage and terrifying. On closer inspection, there were even cracks visible across its surface.
"Buzz..."
The divine statue emitted a low buzzing sound, then began to tremble violently atop the sacrificial altar as thick dark green mist poured out from the statue.
A low voice echoed in everyone’s minds.
"Intruders, you dare offend the dignity of a god? Kneel! Submit to me at once!"
Who!
Another mental attack?
Cao Ge and the others were startled by the sudden voice in their minds and immediately tensed, scanning their surroundings warily.
Figures holding longswords emerged from the green mist surrounding them.
"Kula! Kula!"
The Yake Tribe elder saw the green figures, terror filling his eyes as he shouted something and quickly retreated.
"Be careful."
Meng Qingyu looked at the red phantoms slowly approaching and gave a warning. Just as he was about to strike back, he suddenly froze.
"Boom!!"
The red phantom instantly burst into blazing hellfire and was completely burned to ashes.
In just a few seconds, every red phantom that tried to approach them automatically ignited in hellfire the moment it entered a ten-meter radius, until it was completely dispersed.
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng turned into a shadow and charged toward the god on the altar, passing through the dense mass of blue-green phantom creatures. Instantly, the shadow creatures on both sides were ignited by hellfire, wailing and twisting in agony.
In almost an instant, Fang Heng appeared before the god and reached out to grab it.
[Hint: The player discovered a condensing god (unknown).]
[Hint: This divine statue was incomplete and could not be bound.]
In an instant, a cold force drilled into his body through his palm.
The breath of hell within him erupted instantly, eroding the cold aura completely before surging madly toward the god.
"Buzz...!!"
The divine statue immediately burst into a blinding red light.
"No!!!"
A shrill scream rang through everyone’s ears in the cavern.
"Boom!!!
The divine statue exploded.
"Boss Fang! Over there!"
Cao Ge noticed a dark phantom shoot out from the shattered stone and rush toward the cavern exit. The phantom rapidly faded in midair and vanished in the blink of an eye.
"You destroyed my masterpiece. I will remember you all! Just wait! One day I will make you pay!"
"Heh, there’s no need to wait for later."
Fang Heng let out a disdainful chuckle. His figure flashed, and almost instantly, he appeared beside the fading shadow. He thrust one hand into the void, tore the phantom out of space, and seized it tightly by the throat.
"Let go of me!"
The red phantom’s face was indistinct, only its rough expression visible. Its face was filled with fury as it stared at Fang Heng, as if it wanted to devour him alive.
Fang Heng stared coldly at it and asked in a chilling voice, "Who are you?"
"Roar!!!"
The shadow did not answer. It only opened its mouth.
A piercing shriek rang through the cavern.
In an instant, Cao Ge and the others felt their ears ring violently and immediately raised their hands to cover them.
The entire cavern trembled under the shriek, and the remaining red shadow creatures in the cavern crazily charged at Fang Heng.
"Bang! Bang bang bang!!"
Every phantom that entered within ten meters of Fang Heng ignited in hellfire and vanished in an instant.
"Shut up!"
Fang Heng barked coldly, and hellfire ignited across the phantom he was gripping.
The phantom’s face twisted even more from pain, yet instead of stopping, its shriek only grew louder. The entire cavern shook violently from the impact, and stones began falling from above as if the cavern were about to collapse at any moment.
Muller and the Yake Tribe elder could not withstand the piercing buzzing directly attacking their minds. Dizzy and disoriented, they clutched their ears and rolled on the ground.
"Hmph! If that’s how it is, then die!"
Fang Heng lost patience. With a cold snort, the hellfire engulfing the red phantom surged again and, in an instant, burned the phantom creature to nothing.
"Bang!!"
As the phantom completely dissipated in the hellfire, the remaining red phantoms in the cavern exploded one by one where they stood, and the cavern finally fell silent again.
"D*mn... It’s finally over."
Cao Ge felt like the ringing in his head had nearly driven him mad. At last, he let out a breath and lowered his hands from his ears.
"D*mn it..."
Cao Ge shook his head.
Even now, his ears were still ringing.
[Hint: The player completed mission-Unknown God. Ring mission activated.]
[Hint: The player killed false god Seg’s clone... calculating...]
[Hint: Because the player killed false god Seg’s clone ahead of schedule, the player was automatically judged to have completed the intermediate mission chain (7 rings total) at the highest completion rating. Player triggered the next ring mission-Seg’s True Body.]
[Hint: The player triggered follow-up mission-Seg’s True Body.]
Mission name: Seg’s True Body.
Mission difficulty: SSS.
Mission description: On Whisper Island, you discovered the Yake Tribe under external control. After a fierce battle, you killed the clone of Seg, the false god controlling Whisper Island. However, his true body had already marked you with hatred and could attack at any time. Perhaps you should prepare in advance.
Mission requirements: Search for Seg’s true body and clues related to the false god. Future ring missions may branch.
Mission reward: King of Gods’ Points.
Fang Heng quickly scanned through the game prompts.
A false god’s clone?
Although he had completed the mission, time had been short. He had not slowly uncovered the false god by gathering clues and information. Instead, he had practically bulldozed straight through with overwhelming Perception and crushing strength.
The good news was that it had saved a great deal of time. He had found the false god directly, skipped the seven intermediate ring missions, and cleared them all at the highest completion rating.
But there were downsides as well.
Too many of the intermediate steps had been skipped, and he had lost a great deal of useful information.
