Chapter 573: Jiu Shen's Strength
Asmodeus flinched as he looked at the unconscious Lilith in Jiu Shen's arms. He had never seen his face, but he knew that it was him based on the figure of his body and the aura he emitted.
'How did Jiu Shen catch him? And where is Hecate?' Asmodeus inspected the area and noticed the chaos in the surrounding land. Even the sand covering the ground was invisible. Only the cracked earth was left from before.
Immediately, Asmodeus sensed a weak aura ten thousand meters away from their location. He immediately used his spiritual perception to examine this aura and what he saw left him dumbfounded. 'Damn it...'
It was Hecate. He was covered in bloody wounds all over his body and his stiff face also became disfigured. If not for the Crimson God Armor he was wearing, Asmodeus would not have known that this man was the Hall Master of the Hall of Might!
The Crimson God Armor known as the impenetrable armor with the god defense ability had a huge crack in the chest area. Some parts of the armor were also damaged and had lost most of its former glory. The only silver coating is still regenerating, though in a very slow process. From the extent of the damage, it might take years to fully regenerate back to its peak condition.
'That land... Could it...' Asmodeus inevitably glanced at the silver-haired man holding the unconscious Lilith. His face was calm and he did not seem to have any injuries on his body. His armor was in pristine condition and even his skin looked flawless even without any cuts or bruises.
In fact, it was not only Asmodeus who observed the ruins and the aftermath of the battle.
Jian Wang, Elena, and Elyssier were examining the area with their spiritual perceptions. And what they found made them renew their view of Jiu Shen. They all thought that Jiu Shen's strength was about the same as their strength, if not a little stronger. However, proof of his unrivalled strength lay before their eyes.
"Elena, tie up her spiritual power. I had a question for him when he woke up so make sure he didn't kill himself." Jiu Shen handed Lilith to Elena.
"Good." Elena glanced at the unconscious woman in her arms. She was so beautiful that Elena almost felt ashamed of her own beauty. This goddess-like woman was also stronger than him. Lilith's accurate judgment, precise skill timing, and deep knowledge of battle were above hers. Lilith was better than him in every aspect!
Thinking of all this, Elena sighed with complicated emotions.
"You must help the army. The Hall of Might and Hall of Creation may have lost their leader, but their overall combat prowess is still above the level of our warriors. There doesn't need to be any unnecessary casualties." Jiu Shen glanced at the other three.
Jian Wang and the others nodded in agreement. They also did not want more of their soldiers to die in vain.
From his point of view, Jiu Shen's prowess had surpassed the Celestial level. After all, he was able to defeat Hecate and Lilith whose strength was at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm. The two experts were hanging on the cliff of the next realm, the Boundless God Realm. A level reached by only one person, the Ruler of Asgard.
According to Asmodeus, the Sovereign of Asgard had long surpassed the limits of the Heavenly God Realm. His strength could overturn the heavens and make space with just a flick of his hand! From a human point of view, he could be referred to as the One True God.
The Lord of Asgard is a man of mystery. She was covered in fog and mist and no one knew her real name.
From how Asmodeus describes it, the Lord of Asgard always wears a mask and even his hair is covered by that mask. He rarely came out of his throne because most of the tasks were done by his subordinates.
Jian Wang wanted to find out if Jiu Shen was now confident enough to face such a figure.
Jiu Shen stared back at his friend and nodded his head calmly. "certain. I'll answer all your questions later."
It was fine to tell them about the extent of his strength. Although he was now confident of being able to fight the Asgard Lord, he still needed the help of his friends. It was not a good idea to create friction between them at a time like this. Moreover, he had already planned to inform them of his strength.
After getting his answer, Jian Wang left with a satisfied expression on his face. He led the others to the battlefields of both armies.
With the Celestial's destructive power, the Hall of Might and the Hall of Creation would definitely be destroyed. Everyone did not believe that such a great powerhouse would actually be annihilated easily ... Jiu Shen's strength was completely beyond their expectations.

Meanwhile, inside the large throne room in the castle set up in Asgard, a masked person sitting on the throne suddenly chuckled. "Ho. As expected of something I did. It was actually capable of producing characters of unequal caliber. That's delicious! Ahaha!"
"Jiu Shen's. Shen Jiu. Shen Jiu. Get over here! I've been waiting for you all this time! I even invested most of my wealth just to create that system for you! Your time coming here is also when I will charge the payment! Ahaha!"
