Spellcasting Gods

In his view, the Earth's gods' decision to fall into slumber after the great war in ancient times was a terrible move.

The sudden and collective disappearance of these beings directly led to the rampant infiltration of the human world by the forces of Heaven and Hell, especially the rise of monotheistic religions in West Asia, which can only be described as a catastrophe.

Even today, after the great catastrophe, there are still many foolish people who believe that there is an omnipotent creator in the world, and they place all their hopes on this god, hoping to change their fate through extremely cheap prayers.

Even worse, they use the name of God and religion to commit arson, murder, and looting against their own kind, claiming that killing heretics will allow them to go to heaven after death and enjoy a wonderful life that they can never enjoy on earth.

Compared to the powerful, resilient, and creative ancient people of the mythical era, later humans are simply pathetic.

Even if they later created a relatively advanced technological civilization, they could not fundamentally eliminate the ignorance and stupidity of the majority of people in their group.

"What? The Egyptians have disappeared?" Sphinx stared wide-eyed in surprise, a very human-like expression on his face.

"Heh! What, are you surprised? Don't forget, in religion, the powerful always crush the weak. When you and the gods behind you decided to disappear from the sight of mortals, you should have expected this outcome. Humans are fickle and extremely opportunistic; they will only pray to gods who can bring them benefits," Zhang Cheng explained with a sneer.

Sphinx nodded thoughtfully: "You're right! Humans are indeed fickle! I'm a little curious now, what exactly made you take such a huge risk to open the seal? Don't you know how terrifying something is sealed inside?"

"No! Of course I know. In fact, including this one, I have already broken four seals, enough to awaken the gods from their slumber. Dear Sphinx, times have changed. If you know what's good for you, you'd better get out of the way, or I guarantee you will disappear from the world forever in the next second..."

Chapter 0996 Awakening the Gods

"Oh? Are you threatening me?"

The sphinx was clearly smarter and more rational than the guardians they had encountered before. It neither launched a surprise attack nor roared in fury, but instead showed a curious expression.

Its eyes are like two bright stars in the darkness, captivating people without them even realizing it.

Without a doubt, this is an innate magical ability, somewhere between charm and mind control.

Unfortunately, these low-level tricks are completely ineffective against Titans.

To be precise, once the Star Soul is fully awakened, no form of mental control or influence can have even the slightest effect on Titan.

Even the vanguard released by the Twisting Nether—the Old Gods and the Dark Titan Sargeras—could only influence and corrupt the Star Soul before it awakened.

Zhang Cheng ignored the other party's subtle actions and replied with a half-smile, "If you think this is a threat, then it is a threat. Don't think I'm joking. I guarantee I have the power to put it into action, a power stronger than any god."

The words had barely left his mouth!

His body suddenly expanded countless times, transforming from a human less than two meters tall into a Titan over thirty meters tall.

In particular, its body, which shimmers like a starry sky, constantly exudes an immense and indescribable power of intimidation.

The Sphinx swore that even in his time when the gods were active, no other god possessed such an astonishing aura that it was almost suffocating him.

Shock!

trembling!

fear!

Driven by the monstrous instincts of his other half, he quickly gained the upper hand and knelt down on one knee, bowing his head and pleading in a trembling voice, "Great being! Please forgive my ignorance and foolishness! I am merely a guard forced to perform my duty, not your true enemy."

“Ah! Of course I know that, otherwise do you think you would still be alive today?” Zhang Cheng stretched out his left hand and lifted the Sphinx up like a kitten.

“I have no intention of being your enemy. But a powerful contract binds me, forcing me to fulfill my duty of guarding the seal. So please…”

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Before the Sphinx could finish speaking, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and casually tossed it against the wall.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the poor creature crashed through the wall and flew out of the Pyramid of Osiris, its terrifying momentum carving a trench hundreds of meters long into the ground.

Fortunately, the divine creature possessed incredible vitality, so it did not die, but merely fainted.

Reaching the very center of the pyramid's underground location, Zhang Cheng slightly curled the corners of his lips and murmured, "Finally! This day has finally come! The return of the gods! The secret of the Creator!"

Without any hesitation!

He directly destroyed the divine power bestowed upon it by the Egyptian gods using the most primitive and violent means.

boom!!!!!!!

A white beam of light shot into the sky!

The whole world seemed to tremble!

In less than five minutes, astonishing bursts of divine power suddenly erupted one after another from all parts of the world that had been silent for a long time.

Thunder!

flame!

Tsunami!

Landslide!

hurricane!

The gods, having just awakened from their long slumber, each displayed their awe-inspiring and terrifying power to mortals in their own unique ways.

"Who? Who broke the seal?"

"Whoever it is, they will bear the brunt of my wrath!"

"Sinner! You have committed a grave error! You must be punished!"

"Feel the wrath of the gods!"

……

These ancient gods were so brutal that they made their voices echo throughout the world.

Some even descended from the sky, appearing in human settlements and forcing people to offer them food, wine, and women to please them.

god!

They are never as kind and wonderful as people imagine!

Quite the contrary!

In God's eyes, humankind is merely a tool for them to fight each other, entertain themselves, and kill time.

In some of the most fanatical monotheistic regions, these ancient gods directly angered the local deities, who then launched a massive massacre without warning, with tens of thousands of unfortunate souls sacrificing their precious lives for their faith.

No conversation took place!

No negotiation!

There was no negotiation whatsoever!

The ancient gods showed the survivors what true gods are like through their actions.

That bullshit about God loving the world doesn't exist!

What God wants is for humanity to have awe of Him!

A fear that comes from the very soul!

Zhang Cheng not only did not stop these gods from being grumpy in the morning, but also secretly observed them with great interest.

With overwhelming force, a brand-new belief system was quickly established in less than a month.

Especially in the area surrounding the Aegean Sea, large-scale construction has once again begun, with the erection of enormous statues and temples of deities.

It goes without saying that Zhang Cheng's actions directly led to humanity once again becoming slaves to the gods, desperately doing whatever they could to please them.

Half a year after the gods returned, he arrived at the Olympian gods' banquet, where they were indulging in wild revelry. With a smile, he addressed the old man seated at the head of the table: "Good afternoon, son of Cronus, grandson of Uranus, direct descendant of the Titans, third-generation god-king, wielder of thunder, Zeus."

"So you're the madman who broke the seal?" The old man, known as Zeus, had a terrifying glint in his eyes. He pushed aside the fawning human woman beside him and stood up abruptly.

As the supreme ruler of the entire pantheon, he was no half-baked god. Not only did he seize the primordial power that the Titans obtained from the planet's interior through his war with his father, but he also surpassed his father, able to sense the immense energy gestating within the young man before him.

"A madman? Hahahaha!" Zhang Cheng laughed unrestrainedly, shaking his head as he laughed. "You're not the first person to describe me like that, and I'm sure you won't be the last. But I'm not here to talk about that today; I want to ask you about information about the Creator."

“Creator? You mean that woman!” Zeus was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized the meaning of “creator”.

“That’s right! Tell me her origins and what she did. In exchange, I will allow you and your pantheon to submit to me.” Zhang Cheng slightly raised his chin, his face full of a cold and insane smile.

He was so excited that he exuded a strong sense of aggression, completely disregarding the Olympian gods present...

Chapter 0997 God War

"Insanity!"

With an angry roar, a young man with long golden hair, wearing golden armor from head to toe, and wielding a sharp spear charged forward, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust.

It goes without saying that he must be Ares, the god of war, who is the least intelligent of the Olympian gods and is driven entirely by desire and instinct.

Unfortunately, just as the spear was about to pierce through, Zhang Cheng suddenly unleashed a devastatingly powerful magic at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

next second...

boom!

The poor God of War was thrown into the air, like a tattered rag doll that had been violently flung away. He rolled on the ground for thirty or forty meters with a thud, followed by a rain of violet arcane missiles.

By the time it was all over, he was severely injured and tried to get up several times, but failed each time.

It must be said that there is a reason why warriors are discriminated against and despised in most fantasy worlds.

Look at Ares, the ancient Greek god of war, battle, military, and riot, and think of Tempas, the god of war in Faerûn, who behaved similarly. Without exception, they both succumbed to their inner desire for blood, violence, and killing.

They have no idea how precious creation is; their minds are filled with all sorts of impulses to destroy and wreak havoc.

Inevitably, many people who believe in the god of war do similar things, so they will inevitably be rejected by mature civilized societies.

"This is your son? A complete idiot?" Zhang Cheng asked with a half-smile.

He could hardly believe it. There were at least a dozen powerful gods with the bloodline of the Titans present, yet this idiot was the first to jump out and launch an attack without even bothering to test the waters.

Such recklessness has completely lowered the bar for God's intelligence.

Zeus glanced at Ares out of the corner of his eye and asked without changing his expression, "Are you sure you want to start a war with us at this time? Aren't you afraid of being ambushed by the other gods hiding in the shadows?"

"Fear? Why should I be afraid? No, dear Zeus, what I need to do is issue a proclamation to all the gods in the world who have awakened from their slumber: either grovel before me like a dog and become my servant, or be torn to pieces and vanish forever. Whether it's you or that woman who claims to be the creator, you are all just stepping stones for me."

The moment the last word left his mouth, Zhang Cheng completely unleashed all the energy he possessed as a Titan.

In less than a second, all the humans, buildings, animals, plants, mountains, lakes, rivers, and oceans in Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia were transformed into tiny particles that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye under the terrifying energy burst.

As the shimmering particles gradually dissipated, a colossal giant, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, appeared out of thin air in Earth's outer space orbit.
