The barren earth stretched out, and Okaro威尔's corpse lay upon it.
"He's dead!" Lin Lei thought to himself with a sigh. "Okaro威尔 was a powerhouse on the same level as Lei Sijing. Even a Highgod at the Pinnacle of Perfection would have a hard time killing him. To slay a super-expert like this, unless a Highgod intervened, you'd usually need a group attack. But Bei Bei's innate divine ability, 'God Devouring'..." Lin Lei couldn't help but glance towards Bei Bei.
Bei Bei walked over to the corpse of the elf, Okaro威尔, and snorted, "How dare you ignore me!"
"Haha, Bei Bei, you're the bane of those powerful souls who haven't reached the Pinnacle of Perfection!" Lei Sijing laughed, walking over and throwing an arm around Bei Bei's shoulders. "I've found we're a perfect match! Your soul attacks are number one. My physical attacks aren't exactly number one, but they're top-tier. Together, who could possibly stop us?"
Lei Sijing glanced at the corpse on the ground and sneered, "Hey, a powerhouse, a powerhouse! That's all it amounts to. When this strongest body dies, even if the clone remains, what will it amount to in the future?"
Just then—
"Hmph!" A cold snort rang out, and Lei Sijing's figure blurred, transforming into a hazy purple phantom that instantly streaked across the sky.
"What happened?" Lin Lei also quickly turned to look. In the direction Lei Sijing was chasing, a dark figure was fleeing. Lin Lei was greatly startled. "There was someone else nearby? It seems our attention was entirely on Okaro威尔, and we didn't even notice someone watching from the side."
Lin Lei watched intently as Lei Sijing pursued the fleeing figure.
The pursuing "Lei Sijing" immediately radiated purple light that spread out, forming the "Amethyst Space." The fleeing black figure, caught within it, naturally slowed down dramatically.
"Whoosh!"
A stream of purple light shot from Lei Sijing's hand like a meteor. Its speed was such that the black figure couldn't dodge. "Ssss—" The purple light instantly crossed the less-than-hundred-meter distance between Lei Sijing and the black figure. The very space parted like water, and faint spatial fissures could be seen. With a "BOOM!" the purple light pierced into the black figure, which exploded completely. Fragments of its shattered body flew in all directions. Only then did the purple light reveal its true form.
It was a relatively short lance, nearly one and a half meters long, its entire body a deep purple.
It could, of course, be thrown. It could also be used in close combat.
"A Main God Artifact!" Lin Lei understood immediately. This was Lei Sijing's sole Main God Artifact. "The power of this throw by Lei Sijing was terrifying to this extent! Spatial fissures!"
Lin Lei clearly remembered that when the lance was thrown, tiny spatial fissures had appeared.
This was the first time since arriving at the Plane Battlefield that Lin Lei had seen someone capable of tearing the space of the Plane Battlefield apart! "Lei Sijing cultivates the Laws of Destruction. The profound mysteries alone are powerful enough. His strength is also formidable. Paired with an offensive Main God Artifact, his physical attacks are indeed, as he said, not necessarily number one among the Commander level, but definitely top-tier."
Lin Lei fully realized Lei Sijing's strength.
Soul attacks, physical attacks—both were flawless. If there were a weakness... it was perhaps a slight fear of Bei Bei. Bei Bei's "God Devouring" was his bane. Unless Lei Sijing obtained a soul defense Main God Artifact. Unfortunately, even if his mother was a Highgod, she couldn't simply give him one; he had to earn it through military merit.
"Goddammit, it's actually a Death God Puppet!" Lei Sijing cursed as he walked back.
"It's a Death God Puppet. Getting angry about it is useless," Lin Lei said. "His true body is probably hiding somewhere. Knowing how powerful you are, he's likely fled far away by now."
"Every time you spot a target, only to find out after the kill it's a Death God Puppet—nothing's more frustrating."
As he spoke, Lei Sijing flicked his finger towards the golden badge on the ground. "There's only one Commander Badge here. There are four of us. How should we divide it? Everyone, speak up."
Lin Lei and Bei Bei exchanged a glance.
A Commander Badge!
For Lin Lei, every Commander Badge represented a chance to save one of his beloved family members or brothers! Lin Lei desperately wanted this Commander Badge, but he also understood that since the four had formed a small team, there had to be team rules. He couldn't just take the loot for himself.
"Lin Lei, you two have the first say," Lei Sijing said, turning to them instead.
In Lei Sijing's mind, Lei Hong didn't need to be distinguished from him; he wasn't an outsider. But Lin Lei and Bei Bei had just joined the hunting team. While he knew them, their actual bond wasn't that deep. He couldn't make arbitrary decisions.
"Let's go with what we agreed before," Lin Lei said with a smile. "The four of us split it equally. But obviously, there's only one Commander Badge here. So how about this... Lei Sijing, you and Lei Hong count as sharing one share. Bei Bei and I share another. I think you two shouldn't have a problem with that."
"Of course not," Lei Sijing also smiled.
Just as Lei Sijing and Lei Hong shared their military merit without distinction, Lin Lei and Bei Bei were the same.
"This one Commander Badge. Whichever side gets it first this time, the next Commander Badge goes to the other. We'll alternate," Lin Lei said calmly.
"Fine." Lei Sijing decisively extended his hand, collected the Commander Badge, and tossed it to Lin Lei. "You two just joined our team. I'll be modest this first time. Let your side have this Commander Badge. The next Commander Badge we find will be mine."
Lin Lei caught it without any false modesty, nodding with a smile. "Alright, next time it's yours."
Lin Lei held the golden badge, unable to suppress a wave of excitement in his heart. "Another one!" This time, Lin Lei wanted to save his father, Yeru, George, and Dikexi, who had also died unjustly. After all, Dikexi was Dilia's only brother. As for those who died naturally or without regrets, Lin Lei didn't intend to restore their memories either.
After all, people like Uncle Hillman had lived for hundreds of years, had many children and grandchildren, lived freely and contentedly, and then died of old age.
They had no regrets. Why disturb them again?
But Yeru, George, and his own father "Hogg" had all died unjustly.
"Lin Lei, is it just one Commander Badge? Is that expression really necessary?" Lei Sijing couldn't help but tease from the side.
