Han Sen and Li Keer flew through space together, but the bronze furnace lagged some distance behind them. It still wasnât willing to come anywhere close to Li Keer.
If Li Keer was willing to lead, Han Sen had no reason to reject her offer. If she could find deified xenogeneics, Han Sen wouldnât mind helping her slay the bronze tripod.
Han Sen still wasnât fond of Li Keerâs personality, so he didnât talk to her all that much. But Li Keer was smart and talkative, and Han Sen discovered that she even had a sense of humor. He found it difficult to rectify her personality with how she had acted when they first met.
Han Sen didnât know that her attitude had actually changed.
When they first met, Li Keer had looked at Han Sen as if she was far superior to him. It was like a human talking to a cow. Humans normally wouldnât bother talking to cows, because there was no point in having a conversation with a being of such low intelligence. They would just teach the cow what to do, instead.
But ever since that bet, Li Keer had realized Han Sen wasnât just some lesser being. He was her equal, or perhaps he even stronger, in some ways. Li Keer could no longer think of Han Sen as some foolish creature.
But the blame couldnât be put on Li Keer for her initial assumptions. Across the entire universe, all beings with emotions made similar assumptions about others that were not of their species. Even humans did.
âThereâs a deified xenogeneic that I saw not too long ago. It is a wolf god. I donât really know much about it, but I have heard that he isnât very strong compared to most of the deified xenogeneics in the core area.â Li Keer continued to fly forward as she gave Han Sen the low down on the deified xenogeneic.
As she spoke, Li Keer was thinking, âIâm not lying; the wolf god really isnât that strong compared to most deified xenogeneics in the core area. It can be considered medium-low. But it does have a wolf god area. That area not only summons a wolf pack, but it also summons clones of the wolf god. A whole horde of wolf god clones will be summoned, and they arenât much weaker than the wolf god itself. Letâs see how you deal with an opponent like this.â
Li Keer wasnât doing this to harm Han Sen, but to see how he handled himself in danger. When he did fall into trouble, she would swoop in and help. She would save him and impress him with her skill at the same time. Then, Han Sen would more willingly obey her. That way, she could take him on as her silkworm.
Following Li Keerâs lead, Han Sen flew down toward a planet. Li Keer pointed in the direction of a mountain and said, âI saw the wolf god on that mountain. Iâm too weak to fight it, so Iâm certainly not going over there.â
âOkay. Wait here, then. If there is a deified xenogeneic, I will help you eliminate the core bronze tripod whether or not I manage to kill this deified,â Han Sen said.
âI will await your good news,â Li Keer said with a smile.
Han Sen nodded and flew toward the mountain. The bronze furnace remained behind at Han Senâs request. It didnât head for the same mountain as him.
Li Keerâs eyes flickered. She was far away from the mountain, but she could see all the flowers and forests that littered the landscape.
Quickly, Li Keerâs senses detected the wolf god on that mountain. It was different from ordinary wolves. The wolf god lived alone, and its body wasnât very big. It was barely bigger than an ordinary wolf.
The wolf was colored grey with a single black line running across its coat, but its fur wasnât ordinary. It was made of some weird metal. The metallic fur was smooth, and it didnât affect the creatureâs mobility.
As Li Keerâs watched, Han Sen quickly found the wolf god. The wolf god was very territorial, and Han Sen had only just stepped into the valley when the wolf god revealed itself. Its hair straightened up, and its green wolf eyes peered down on Han Sen.
Buzz!
The wolf god crouched and leaped forward, but then it disappeared.
The wolf disappeared from Han Senâs vision before he even got a good look at it. His eyes couldnât match the speed of the wolf god.
Without hesitation, Han Sen used his super god spirit body. While Han Sen was invincible, the wolf godâs gray body leaped at him.
But instead of landing on Han Sen, the wolf godâs leap carried it past him. It turned around and looked at Han Sen without attacking again.
Han Sen had only just opened the super god spirit body, but he noticed that his super god spirit power was already starting to fade. Although Wanâer was asleep, her effect on the super god spirit body was still strong.
Li Keer planned to watch the fight between the man and the wolf, and then save Han Sen during a critical moment. But right after the fight began, Han Sen ran away.
As Han Sen flew up away from the planet, she could see that he had committed his full strength to fleeing. He didnât hesitate or ponder what direction he was going. Li Keer was frozen as she watched him do that. She didnât know if she should swoop in to save Han Sen.
Although this was the result she wanted, she hadnât expected it to happen like this. She was planning to use the fight with the wolf god to witness Dollarâs real power. Now she was still empty-handed, and Han Sen was running away.
Li Keer was very confused. Han Sen apparently had no way of defeating the wolf god, and the creature leaped into the air and tore into Han Senâs body with its teeth.
Pang!
Han Senâs body was torn to shreds, but it was just a Moon doppelganger. The real Han Sen appeared farther in space, and he was still running.
He only wanted to confirm that there was a deified xenogeneic on the planet. He didnât plan on summoning the Gold Armor General to defeat the wolf god in front of her.
But the wolf god was a very aggressive creature, and it kept chasing after Han Sen. Although it wasnât as strong as the Gold Armor General, Han Sen would still have a hard time fighting it. He kept using Moon copies of himself to avoid the wolf god.
Han Sen noticed that the core areaâs deified xenogeneics had some flaws. They might be deified in some ways, but in other ways, they were much worse than proper deified xenogeneics.
Such as the Gold Armor General: while its defense and swordlights were deified in class, its speed was still wholly King class. It even fought like a King. The creature didnât have the control and talent that Han Sen would expect from a true deified.
And while this wolf godâs speed was deified, its judgment and skill werenât up to par. Its attacking skills fell short, about as talented as an average King. So, Han Sen could see that the wolf was far weaker than an ordinary deified.
âNo wonder the core areaâs deifieds are referred to as fake deifieds. They all have flaws. I canât see them as being truly on a deified level,â Han Sen thought to himself.
The epic battle Li Keer had hoped to watch quickly devolved into a hungry wolf chasing a fleeing human. Han Sen used his clones and movements to evade his foe. His movement skills were spectacular, and not even the wolf god could harm him. But that still wasnât what Li Keer wanted.
