Apotheosis

Zen's gaze had been fixed on Maurice from start to finish. On the other hand, Maurice's gaze hadn't shifted away from Zen either.

The Tower of Sin absorbed the brown-colored blood quickly until it left no trace at all.

If no one moved Bradley's body, then it would also be absorbed by the Tower of Sin within a day.

It was this character of the Tower of Sin that enabled it to continuously operate. It never stopped absorbing external things to replenish its energy.

This ability of the tower was very advantageous to the ogres before. They killed their opponents in the arena and absorbed their opponents' Lucky Light. Then their opponents' blood and bodies were absorbed by the Tower of Sin, therefore, refilling its energy. Moreover, the ogres were also using the Tower of Sin as a place to cultivate and improve themselves. That situation created the perfect co-existence between the two. It was perfect.

It was in this same tower that the ogres had risen.

However, things had changed dramatically. The power in the tower was now controlled by Zen.

It was only then that Maurice understood how Zen had the right to determine everyone's life and death inside that tower.

Moreover, he also realized that they, the ogres, simply didn't have the qualifications to negotiate.

"Do you accept my conditions now?" It was Zen who broke the long silence.

A bitter smile appeared on Maurice's face. He had always thought that he was the master of the Tower of Sin. Even if Esther defeated him, he was the leader of the top ten top-level war lords of the ogres and was not afraid of the Demon Night at all.

He felt that he managed his business in the Tower of Sin very well. Every time he returned to the two sacred places of the ogres, he would be rewarded with many things by the ogre warriors at the Soul Sea Realm.

But then, facing Zen suddenly made him feel powerless. It was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out as he stood before the young level one war general.

This was indeed too unreasonable. Zen had only been in the Tower of Sin for a few months. More so, he had only climbed onto the tenth floor. Just what basis did he have?

However, the young lad had the power of the Tower of Sin and it was that same power that wasn't allowing him to resist.

Maurice knew the consequences that he would face if the ogres were to be expelled from the Tower of Sin. Regardless of how much the powerful warriors at Soul Sea Realm valued him, he would encounter the wrath of all the ogres once they were pushed out of the tower.

It was very likely for him to become the sinner of the ages and be despised by the Flaming Ogre Sacred Place and the Dread Ogre Sacred Place.

But what could he do? How could he resist?

Maurice's strength might be slightly stronger than Bradley's, but the two of them were both top-level war lords. Maurice was number two while Bradley was number four among the 128 seat owners. The difference in their strength wasn't that great.

They coul

had in his hand. He didn't have anything else to threaten Zen with.

A faint smile cracked Zen's lips. "I believe you've already investigated me. Since I'm not from the Sea God Continent, what does the existence of the Purple Heart Sacred Place have to do with me? Besides..."

"Besides what?" Maurice asked.

"Do you really think that the Flaming Ogre Sacred Place and the Dread Flaming Ogre Sacred Place can make a move against the Purple Heart Sacred Place?" Zen continued to ask with a smile.

"Why not?" Maurice's eyes flashed. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

That was when a red light flickered as Lavender's figure appeared once again next to Zen. The top-level war lords of the Demon Night immediately knelt on the ground upon seeing her.

Even Esther knelt before Lavender and said, "Greetings, my queen!"

Zen smiled at Lavender and then told Maurice, "You've forgotten about the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place."

The Sea God Continent had fourteen great races. These races all had their sacred places.

However, not all those sacred places were strong. For example, the humans' Purple Heart Sacred Place was considered a sixth-grade sacred place because of the existence of several warriors at the Soul Sea Realm. Two thousand years ago, the human race didn't even have their sacred place. There was only Purple Heart Sect.

The humans' sacred place was considered the weakest among all the sacred places.

However, the Flaming Ogre Sacred Place and the Dread Ogre Sacred Place were considered the peak of the sixth grade sacred places. Combining the two sacred places would enable the ogres to have a seventh grade sacred place.

Nowadays, there was only one seventh grade sacred place on the Sea God Continent, which was the Heavenly Father Sacred Place. And the reason why the Heavenly Feather Sacred Place could be promoted to the seventh grade was because of Amber's existence.

Amber had also promised that she would give her all to help Zen.
