The three people jumped into the cave entrance, and soon they arrived at the depths of the pit. In an instant, a crystal with a strange black light appeared in their sight.

The crystal floated in mid-air, seemingly sustained by some kind of power that ordinary people could not understand.

Upon seeing the crystal, the three of them immediately began to breathe rapidly.

It's confirmed, this really is an extraordinary item!

Extraordinary! Embark on the path to the extraordinary!

Strength, lifespan!

Countless thoughts surged through their minds, and the gazes of the three men visibly hardened.

Andrew, in particular, was even trembling slightly.

As an autistic person, and one who had been bullied for many years, he craved power far more than the other two!

Gain power, become stronger, and then take revenge on those damn bastards!

"Wait a moment, you two."

Matt suddenly spoke, his tone serious.

"Something's not right about this thing."

"We all witnessed the great battle between the gods and demons that night to some extent. This color, this strange power, doesn't seem to belong to that god!"

Matt's emotional intelligence and IQ are both quite high, and even now, he can still maintain some rationality.

However, not everyone is him.

Andrew chuckled and turned to give him a strange look.

"I don't care about that kind of thing!"

After saying that, he slapped Matt's hand away and rushed towards the black crystal first.

What gods or demons? As long as they are given power, what does it matter if they follow the demons?

Those who bullied him were, in his eyes, no more kind than any demon.

Under Matt's astonished gaze and the Black man's expectant look, Andrew pressed his hand down on the black crystal.

Instantly, the entire crystal lit up, and streams of black, energy-rich liquid began to surge wildly into Andrew's body.

In an instant, feeling the power surging wildly within his body, Andrew's expression became incredibly fanatical.

"Power, an endless source of power!"

Unseen spiritual forces began to spread, causing the entire cave to tremble violently.

The Black man and Matt were forced to retreat continuously by this astonishing psychic power.

At this moment, it seemed that there was no danger. The black man gritted his teeth, endured the pressure of the psychic force, and rushed forward.

He also wanted to transform into something extraordinary!

Andrew, who was receiving the power transfer, noticed the black man rushing towards him and was immediately enraged.

"This power belongs to me, get out!!"

The already astonishing psychic power surged several levels in an instant, forcefully suppressing the black man in place, making it impossible for him to take another step forward.

The black man was equally enraged and yelled at Matt behind him, "Attack together! We can't let him gain power by himself!"

"Once he gains full power, he will definitely kill us to keep it a secret!"

Matt, who had been somewhat hesitant, felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

Given their relationship, he initially trusted Andrew to some extent, but what the black man said was true—it was extraordinary power!

More importantly, he knew his cousin too well. He was introverted and sensitive, not a bad person, but to say that he was mentally healthy was pure nonsense.

Who knows, in order to protect the secrets about the supernatural, they might really kill his cousin!

Matt no longer hesitated and started charging forward.

Andrew grew increasingly furious, but he was currently receiving an energy transfer and, having just acquired telekinesis, his power was still immature and unfamiliar, making it impossible for him to suppress both of them simultaneously.

When Matt was pinned down, he charged forward; when Matt was pinned down, the black man charged forward again.

Finally, without warning, two people rushed up at the same time, and three people, three hands, landed on the black crystal at the same time.

In an instant, the black crystal shone with an unprecedented brilliance, and a torrent of energy surged toward the three of them, who almost simultaneously let out unbearable screams of pain.

The next moment, a terrifying energy erupted instantly!

A moment later, the black crystal disappeared, and the three people vanished without a trace.

A while later, a group of people arrived at the location of the energy burst, and the one leading them was none other than Ivanka.

At this moment, the sexy and glamorous Ivanka had an extremely cold expression.

"Damn it, I'm too late!"

Although the energy just now was far less than that of the previous battle between gods and demons, it was still extremely astonishing and could be seen from a great distance.

Moreover, that black energy is clearly incompatible with my lord!

The fallen demon really did leave behind a backup plan, which seems to have been obtained by someone else.

Thinking of this, Ivanka's face grew even colder and more icy.

"This is a huge problem!"

Chapter Twelve: Apostles and Divine Children

"Bang bang bang..."

A rapid knocking sound came from outside.

After a long pause, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

"come in."

With that sound, the door was pushed open, and Ivanka's tall and voluptuous figure appeared in the doorway.

Upon appearing, Ivanka said with a grave expression, "Your Excellency, we've encountered trouble."

"Based on our investigation, there is a suspected item with extraordinary power that has been obtained by someone else, and the characteristics of that extraordinary power... contradict yours."

Upon hearing this, Badr's expression changed drastically!

"Impossible. I've already completely killed that guy. Even if he had a backup plan, it's impossible for it to show up so quickly, unless..."

As if he had thought of something, Bader's expression changed repeatedly, becoming increasingly grave.

After a moment, he said in a complicated tone, "It seems that the most troublesome situation has occurred."

Ivanka was startled. She had only reported this matter to this person because it involved the supernatural, but from what she heard, the problem seemed to be more serious than she had imagined.

"Do you know why I came here?" Badr suddenly asked.

Ivanka also showed curiosity: "If you don't mind, I'd like to know the answer too."

Badr looked out the window: "This world is just a world without magic, and it doesn't have much value. Theoretically, no extraordinary individuals will descend upon this world."

"However, my Lord God Baldr noticed the unusual movements of the forces under his command, the Dark God Hodr, which is why he sent me to descend."

Ivanka's beautiful eyes lit up instantly. Finally, her and her father's guess was confirmed. The one behind this apostle was indeed Baldr, the god of light, one of the twelve Norse gods!

"Although the true purpose of the forces under the command of the God of Darkness Hodr descending upon this world is still unclear, we can roughly guess that it is to slaughter this entire world, use the lives of this world to forge divine artifacts, or to guide the corruption of an entire world, thereby giving birth to a new demigod."

"Regardless of the purpose, since it is an unusual movement by divine forces, the target they have sent out could be one of two things—an apostle or a divine child!"

“An apostle is a messenger of God, a person chosen by God, while a son of God is a being recognized as having the potential to become a god.”

“The strength of the apostles is not necessarily weaker than that of the divine children. In fact, some apostles are divine children themselves. However, once they are chosen as divine children, they must have extraordinary abilities. Perhaps they have some kind of accompanying semi-divine artifact, or perhaps they have unique talents.”

“I sensed something was off about that guy before, so I risked being attacked by his power and forcibly killed him.”

“If the other party were just an ordinary apostle, after falling, there would be absolutely no way he could recover his strength faster than me or perform any miracles. But now, this has still happened. Clearly, the other party is indeed a dark god with special abilities.”

Bader paused slightly at this point.

Ivanka, who had been listening quietly, spoke up at the opportune moment: "May I ask, Your Excellency, what will happen to the Divine Child?"

Although the outcome was still unclear, based on this gentleman's explanation of so much for the first time, Ivanka had a vague feeling that this trouble was probably not ordinary.

Badr shook his head: "I don't know what will happen either. I don't even know if the other party has special talent or possesses a divine artifact."

"However, one thing is clear: whether it is talent or artifact, the existence of the dark element is nothing more than guiding corruption, killing, destruction, or rebirth through possession. And no matter which one, the guy who gets his power will most likely turn to the dark side and his strength will increase rapidly. In the end, he will continue to carry out that guy's original plan."

“It is not impossible that they could even grow to become extraordinary and first-rate during this process.”

Ivanka was immediately struck by the thought: she possessed the potential to grow into an extraordinary being!

Moreover, it possesses an extremely negative, dark attribute that is exceptionally top-tier!

Such individuals, when they appear, still harbor extremely terrifying intentions, are absolutely ten thousand times more terrifying than the most terrifying terrorists!

“Your Excellency…” Ivanka’s voice became extremely hoarse.

Not only her voice, but even her back felt cold.

Badr sighed and slowly shook his head.

"Unless you completely eliminate the inheritors before they grow to the level of the extraordinary, this world is doomed. Don't count on your nuclear weapons. Believe me, they're not very useful to the extraordinary. Some extraordinary beings in the God Realm even like to take a bath in a nuclear explosion."

Yes, a certain Hulk can indeed do that.

Then there's Thor, who withstood the energy of a star for several minutes to forge his new artifact, Stormbreaker. Compared to that, a nuclear explosion is just a firecracker.

Ivanka's expression changed completely: "Your Excellency, you can't either?"

Badr remained silent for a moment, and then a ray of light slowly dissipated, revealing a terrifying body that looked like glass on the verge of shattering.

At this moment, no answer is needed.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... Time slowly passed.

After an unknown amount of time, Ivanka calmed down and regained her composure.

"Your Excellency, I understand."

"Please rest assured, we will definitely kill them before they grow to the extraordinary level, even if it costs the entire United States!"
