Chapter 116 Blocking
Then, Gretel's own body turned into a cloud of blood mist and exploded into a blood-colored firework in the sky.

Inside the metal life, Locke withdrew his hand.

They were just two upper gods and eight middle gods. In front of Locke, they had no power to fight back at all.

"Xiaobai, go and collect those godheads and their space rings."

"Then, among the group of demons, find a few mid-level gods whose attributes match those of the godhead and whose potential has been exhausted, and ask them if they are willing to truly join the Demon Castle."

"If you are willing, please select two of them and bestow the two higher godheads upon them."

"Yes, Lord Locke."

Outside Locke's door, Xiaobai, who received Locke's message, bowed to the door first, then turned into a breeze. When the metal life flew to the place where those divine powers were, he drew these divine powers and space rings into the metal life.

Although he is a superior god who has achieved the accomplishment of refining the divine nature, as a superior god of the wind element, Xiaobai's flying speed has reached five thousand meters per second.

This is also the reason why Locke asked Xiaobai to collect the remains of these robbers.

On this metal life, only Xiaobai can do this.

Even Locke, due to the limitations of his realm, his flying speed has not yet exceeded 2,500 meters per second.

Apart from other things, the gap between the upper gods and the middle gods is really huge in some aspects.

It is as if, in hell, the sanctuary is a newborn baby, extremely fragile and will die if it is blown by the slightest breeze.

Lower-level gods are like children who have learned to walk. They can withstand some wind and rain, but they still cannot withstand setbacks.

A middle-level god is a young man who has some self-protection ability and can resist risks to a certain extent.

Only the higher gods are grown-up beings who can truly survive in hell.

What makes the upper gods stronger than the middle gods is not just their strength, but their all-round "evolution".

After all, for the creatures in the Panlong Universe, the "Superior God" is the pinnacle of all creatures.

The Lord God is not a realm that can be achieved through practice.

That was condensed by Hong Meng from the origin of the rules and laws of the Panlong Universe, representing the authority of heaven and earth.

As long as a living being cultivates to become a superior god on their own and obtains the corresponding main godhood, they can instantly acknowledge the master by dripping blood and be promoted to the supreme main god.

Some of the current first-generation main gods obtained their positions through their own strength.

But more importantly, it depends on luck.

This is also the reason why those great masters who came later looked down on some main gods.

If the competition for the main godhood is determined by strength, then among the seventy-seven main gods in the world, perhaps only seven or eight are qualified to obtain the main godhood.

The rest are definitely discarded goods.

However, sometimes, luck is also part of strength.

Locke even felt that even if these main godheads did not fall into the hands of the seventy-seven main gods at the first time, after several twists and turns, they would get their corresponding main godheads.

Because this is the "destiny" of those main gods.

Before these gods were born, their fate had already been determined.

The seventy-seven main gods are all "people with predetermined destiny."

The seven divine planes will be jointly created by forty-nine main gods of the law systems of various systems to make the Panlong Universe more stable.

Shaking his head, Locke stopped thinking about it.

I guess, when I get to Barkley City, with three higher gods under my command, I will be able to relax a lot...

In the following time, Locke and his group never encountered robbers again.

After all, the status of the higher gods in this period is still very high.

No matter which city they go to, as long as they are willing to serve the city lord, deputy city lord, or city guard commander, they can choose any position.

Most of the higher gods who wanted to become bandits probably did so on a whim.

A week later, Locke and his party arrived in the city of Buckley.

"Shhhhh..."

Two middle-level gods, more than two hundred middle-level gods, and five hundred lower-level gods appeared in front of the city of Barkley in an orderly manner, scaring the guards of the city of Barkley.

"Rumble..."

Before Locke and others reached the city gate, a blue transparent divine power shield suddenly appeared around Barkley City.

Then, the open city gate closed with a bang.

This scene was even more exaggerated than being attacked by hostile forces.

Locke glanced at his subordinates behind him and suddenly realized that, without realizing it, he had become a terrifying existence in the eyes of these city guards.

At this time, they seemed to have forgotten that the rules of the city were set by the main gods.

If anyone really dares to attack the city, wouldn't that be rubbing the faces of the gods in the ground?

It can only be said that the pressure that Locke and others brought to the Barkley City Guards was too great, so great that they temporarily forgot that this was their home ground!

If Locke dares to attack the city directly, I am afraid that in the next moment, at least seven huge projections of the main gods will appear above the city.

"In order to guard against me, they actually opened the city's protective formation. It's really extravagant..."

Seeing the defenses of Barkley City, Locke shook his head.

As a guest of honor of the Lord of Yanfeng City, Locke knew that there was a protective magic circle buried underground in every city.

Activating the formation can form a divine shield around the city, which can block attacks of a certain intensity. However, this magic formation consumes a lot of divine power.

At least one hundred mid-level gods' divine power is needed to support the operation of the formation, but its defensive power can only withstand the attacks of mid-level gods.

When the higher god hits, there is only a hole.

"The people in front, stop!"

"This is Barkley City. I am Dakro, the leader of the Barkley City Guard. Please state your intentions clearly."

"Otherwise, I will lead all of Barkley's city guards to attack you."

Xiaobai glanced at Locke, and when he saw Locke nodded, Xiaobai immediately released his aura and flew to the front of the team.

"S-Higher God?"

Even the city guards of Barkley City already had some guesses in their minds when they saw Locke and his group.

However, a superior god really emerged from the crowd, which made the expressions of the city guards change drastically.

The magic circle protecting the city of Barkley could not withstand the destruction of the higher gods.

Once a fight really breaks out between the two sides...

"The leader of the city guards."

Flying to the city gate, Xiaobai first bowed to the leader of the city guards, and then said, "We are from the Demon Castle in Yanfeng City, and we intend to build a new Demon Castle in Barkley City."

"They are not some malicious criminals and will not cause any harm to Barkley."

"Rock Peak City? Demon Castle?"

After hearing what Xiaobai said, the city guards on the wall of Barkley immediately felt relieved.

"I know Yanfeng City. I heard there are demons there. All the bandit forces around there will be attacked by the demons."

"I thought the devil was someone else, but it turns out he's a member of a faction."

"Demon Castle? I seem to have heard of this name before..."

Although Locke's Demon Castle is the most powerful force in Yanfeng City, it is not inferior to Bauhinia Castle.

However, the Demon Castle was built only a short ten years ago.

To the gods in hell, ten years is no different from a blink of an eye.

This amount of time is not enough to spread the news of the Demon Castle far away.

Other nearby cities may have heard of the Demon Castle and the Demons, but few people know what they are specifically.

Now, the arrival of Locke and others has made the people of Barkley City aware of the existence of the "Devil's Castle".

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency. I will go and inform the city lord."

The leader of the city guard hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to let Locke and his party into the city on his own initiative. Instead, he chose to report to the mayor of Barkley City.

"No need, I'm already here."

However, just as the leader of the city guards finished speaking, a voice sounded in his ears.

The figure of a burly old man with a white beard appeared in front of the leader of the city guards, with his hands behind his back and a disdainful look on his face.

"boom!"

The majestic divine power surged, forming a special divine pressure that pressed towards the demons outside the city.

Upon seeing this, Xiaobai also burst out with his own divine power. The two forces collided, and the air around the two people was filled with turbulence.

"Boom..."

A sound like bubbles bursting was heard, and the pressure from the two colliding divine powers dissipated like a strong wind.

Xiaobai's figure shook a few times, but the figure of the Lord of Barkley City did not move at all.

Obviously, in this clash of divine power and pressure, Xiaobai was at a disadvantage.

"drink……"

After the white-bearded city lord sensed Xiaobai's strength, he snorted in disdain.

"I don't care where you are from or what you want to do in Buckley City."

"But you must remember that this is Barkley City. Here, you must abide by the rules of Barkley City."

"otherwise……"

The Lord of Barkley City did not say much for the rest, but anyone who was not stupid could hear the threat in his words.

"Also, because of you, my city of Barkley has suffered some losses. The entrance fee for all of you will be increased a hundred times!"

"Lord City Lord!"

Seeing the city lord appear and behave so strongly, the city guards of Barkley City were overjoyed. They raised their weapons high and cheered for the city lord in high spirits.

"Oh? Increase the city entrance fee by a hundred times?"

However, the cheers of the city guards did not last long, as they were directly suppressed by Locke's voice.

Everyone from Barkley City who heard Locke's words felt an extremely terrifying chill rising from the bottom of their hearts.

It was as if some terrifying existence appeared before them.
