Armipotent

Afi had the same sentiment. It seemed both spirits almost won their fight, and after Tang Shaoyang recalled them, the four more God Ranks returned from their God Domain. Four God Ranks, but only two were alive. Afi and Vandir fought two God Ranks, and they managed to kill one.

"Are they from Nirvana?" Arion asked.

Of the three God Ranks alive two were with Light Elemental Body, and the third one was Lightning Elemental Body.

"Those two are from Nirvana, and the third one is not. I think he is from the Giteron Dynasty," Tang Shaoyang focused on the third one. He was pretty sure that the Lightning God Rank was not in the first wave, meaning he came after he entered Irnus' God Domain. The second reinforcement was before Eol and Dinael.

"You two follow me. Nirvana has signed a truce agreement with the Tang Empire. No more fight until the agreement expired," Arion pointed at the two battered God Ranks.

The two Light God Ranks had their eyes on the headless white dragon and also Dinael in Tang Shaoyang's hand. They did not recognize Tang Shaoyang's appearance, but they knew the five-headed dragon was Tang Shaoyang.

"It's three against one! Don't listen to that avatar! We can kill him!" The Lightning God Rank seemed to realize his situation. If the two Light God Ranks gave up, he was left alone. His confidence when he first arrived on Earth had been shattered after fighting Vandir.

"Speak for your people, princess. Unless you want them to die," Arion nudged Dinael who stood on Tang Shaoyang's palm. She had lost power because of the bracelet.

"The battle is over. Follow Sir Arion, he will bring you back!" Dinael spoke in a hoarse voice. Nirvana lost Eol, the Divine Dragon, and she did not want Nirvana to suffer more by losing two more God Ranks that could be saved.

Arion walked to the two Light God Ranks. He formed a portal gate, "Follow me!"

The Lightning God Rank dashed toward the portal gate. It was unknown what he thought, but he decided to try his luck. He felt like it was better to go to Nirvana than be left alone with Tang Shaoyang.

To everyone's surprise, Arion's avatar hit the Lightning God Rank. An avatar with no aura and did not exude any energy had a tremendous power to knock the God Rank in a single strike.

Boom!

The Lightning God Rank crashed to the ground, and he did not go back up after that strike, "That's another present for you. You can kill him for more levels and more material." He winked at Tang Shaoyang before turning toward the two Lightning God Ranks, "What are you waiting for? Do you want me to drag you by the neck?"

"What about Lady Dinael?" The two God Ranks hesitated and looked toward Dinael who remained on Tang Shaoyang's hand.

"Part of the truce agreement. She must stay on Earth as a hostage during the truce, and she will be returned after twenty years. No more questions or I will drag you forcefully," Arion did not have a lot of patience after receiving the Ancient Barbarian Heart. He wanted to work with his new material soon, but the two God Ranks kept delaying their return.

The two God Ranks nodded and entered the portal. Then Arion threw the vial earlier, "That's a miracle potion made by me. As long as your heart is beating, that potion will heal you. I thought you would need that after I heard how many God Ranks these people sent, but you destroy them. You can keep the potion, in case you need it in the future. Goodbye, Tang. And thank you for the Ancient Barbarian Heart. I hope we can meet soon." Arion waved for the last moment before entering the portal, and the portal disappeared as soon as he entered.

Nirvana

The portal was connected to the Hall of Nirvana where twelve honored seats and a throne at the highest platform. Someone seated on the throne, and five on the honored seats. The one on the throne was the Supreme Lord of Nirvana, and the five figures were the Supreme Bishops.

"I bring the two remaining God Ranks alive, better than losing everything, now?" Arion pushed the two God Ranks forward, looking at the person on the throne. As their eyes met, a radiant and fierce aura engulfed the hall, forcing the two God Ranks to their knees. However, the actual target was Arion, not the two God Ranks.

Arion was unaffected by the aura, shaking his head, "What an ungrateful bunch. I have saved your granddaughter and minimized your loss by bringing these two back, and this is what I get?"

"We will kill him if not for you!" One of the Supreme Bishops spoke, "You saved him, and he has grown much stronger now. Do you know that one day, he will surpass you, and he might kill you for your treasures?"

Arion shook his head, "Believe what you want to believe, and he will not kill me for treasures because we are friends. I am not that stupid to make an enemy of someone who never hurt me. I am a pacifist person, and that's why I mediate the situation so Princess Dinael does not die."

Arion was accused of sheltering and nurturing Tang Shaoyang secretly. That was what Nirvana believed when the three God Ranks came into the Dimensional Tower. Nirvana accused Arion of saving Tang Shaoyang and tried to use Tang Shaoyang to destroy Nirvana.

"My business is over here. Goodbye and thank you for The Ancient Barbarian Hearts," Arion's avatar dispersed into particles. That was not the real Arion, just an avatar made of his energy.

Yury Semenov, Polar Guild's Guild Leader, looked at the distant, enormous five-headed dragons. It was impossible for Yury Semenov not to notice the battle to the east of his territory. He came with his two Vice Leaders, and also his elite army to check the situation. What they found out was the battle of the massive beast. The white dragon and the five-headed dragon.

He witnessed the battle from afar, how the white dragon almost killed the four-headed dragon before the fifth head popped out. The five-headed dragon then took over the situation, capturing the woman and killing the white dragon. The battle stopped after a figure appeared.

Yury Semenov wanted to get closer. He wanted to use Detection, trying to find out who these people were, but his feet could not move. He was scared to move closer, afraid that he would be discovered and slaughtered.

"What should we do now? Should we ask for help from the Tang Empire?" Mikhailovich asked. The first thing that came into his mind was to ask for help from the Tang Empire. He had seen the Golden Dragon, and he thought the only chance to defeat a dragon was with another dragon.

"Let's return and send a messenger to the Tang Empire," Yury Semenov agreed with the plan. There was nothing he could do against that five-headed dragon for sure. Their best chance was the Tang Empire.

Tang Shaoyang returned to his Grand Dragon Transformation and went down to where the God Lightning was. The God Lightning lost his elemental body and revealed his real body. He was a human, meaning he was not part of the Federation of Allurion, but the Giteron Dynasty.

He furrowed his brow as he remembered about the Red Dragon's incident. There was someone riding the red dragon, and that person did not fall with the Red Dragon, "There's a rat."

The person was still alive, breathing weakly. That was what Arion meant by a present. Arion left the Lightning God Rank alive for him to kill. He reached the man's neck and twisted the neck.

[You have killed a God Rank, ???]

[You have leveled up!]

[You have reached Level 26637!]

He let out a chuckle as he looked at his level. His level was more than doubled in less than one day. However, the level did not matter that much because he had reached the Demi-God Rank. More attributes were surely nice, but the next target was the God Rank. He needed to kill more people to gather the God Shard so he could ascend to the God Rank.

That was his next target, reaching God Rank. Then the battle was not over yet. While Nirvana would not come for him for at least another twenty years, he still had to face the Giteron Dynasty and The Federation of Allurion. They might send more God Ranks to Earth.

Tang Shaoyang was looking at the person who rode the red dragon through his Spirit Eyes while walking, retrieving the God Rank's dead bodies. After ten minutes of searching, he could not find the person he was looking for. It was until he received a message from Radiance who was fighting the army that was brought by Nirvana and the Federation of Allurion. He had forgotten about the army after killing the God Ranks.

[We found a strong Demi-God Rank, Master. I think we need assistance, he is too strong!] Radiance, the Frostbringer, asking for help.

[I think he is Augusto Thamsen, the representative of the Giteron Dynasty in the Dimensional Tower.] Maldros, the Black Storm Dragonewt added.

Tang Shaoyang used the Spirit Switch with Maldros, and he was now on another battlefield. He noticed dead bodies all around. His Spirits managed to wipe out the army, and Tang Shaoyang met with Augusto Thamsen. Augusto had not used Bloodline Transformation yet, and he realized why he felt the face was familiar. It was the person who tried to humiliate him in the meeting to form an alliance, the accomplice who tried to force him to submit.

"We meet again, Augusto Thamsen. But we met on a different occasion this time," Tang Shaoyang smiled.
