Chapter 1148 - The Power of Blood

“You seem distracted,” Nature’s Attendant spoke as Jake knelt down and slowly infused the magic circle with his energy.

“Just a lot of jumbled thoughts rattling my mind these days,” Jake confessed with a sigh as he continued his energy infusion.

This time around, the god has asked Jake to do the infusion slowly and steadily, something Jake had no complaints about. This brief break from his own mind was also welcome, as it allowed him to shift his perspective slightly and...

Chapter 1147 - A Bloody Hard Time

Miranda took a moment to process the request as she shook her head. “You are aware that the moon is currently having a bit of a ghost problem.”

“I am indeed,” Nanna confirmed. “A B-grade is occupying it, to be exact.”

“Right,” Miranda nodded. “And a B-grade that I’m fairly certain the World Leader has plans to hunt down. Last time I checked, this ghost caused him quite some grief and even severely injured the Chosen of the Boundless Hydra. With that in mind, he...

Chapter 1146 - Expansion Plans

Jake woke up with a killer headache, finding himself lying comfortably on a couch back at his palace residence. He took a moment to orient himself as a voice echoed from directly above him.

“You know, most people are able to pace themselves and not embarrassingly pass out,” Artemis said, her words sounding almost like a scolding, but her tone didn’t indicate she disapproved.

Opening his eyes, Jake stared directly up at Artemis, who looked down at him, which was also when he ...

Chapter 1145 - Two Small Sprouts

As the gods were discussing the future of the very multiverse itself, one of the people at the center of it all was busy doing something far more important. At least from his perspective.

“Five of them,” Jake insisted, a severe look on his face.

“No!” the person he was doing business with rejected his offer. “Two!”

“Only two? Now that’s just ripping me off. Four should be fair, and honestly, even then, I feel like I’m taking a loss,” Jake crossed his arms...

Chapter 1144 - The Future of the Multiverse

Artemis did not leave the domain of Yggdrasil with Jake. Instead, she was to stay behind and assist Nature’s Attendant in planting the seed that would one day turn into one part of Jake’s new bow.

Her staying behind also gave the goddess some courage to ask a question that had been bothering her for a while. From her own perspective, she knew why she treated Jake the way she did. She had a natural attraction due to his Path, and he appeared in her eyes like the apex of hunters. He w...

Chapter 1143 - Mask & Bow

Jake wasn’t foolish enough to believe that he had timed his return from the Hunting Ground so well that he only needed to be back for a few days before the Primordial of Life reached out to him.

Instead, they had likely been waiting for his return to begin the next phase of whatever they were doing. It had been made clear initially that the revival of the Fallen King wouldn’t be a quick endeavour, and Jake fully expected that they just needed him to continue the process.

As fo...

Chapter 1142 - Girl Scary

Artemis seemed to take Jake’s question very seriously as she frowned deeply. After a few seconds of consideration, she sighed and spoke. “I... have a bit of a confession. While I do keep beast companions, I only started doing so in higher grades, and I’ve never actually had to name, well, anything.”

“Really?” Jake asked with surprise. “How about that Voidpiercer?”

“Already known by that name when we met,” Artemis shook her head.

“Huh,” Jake muttered. ...

Chapter 1141 - Secrets Disclosed

It took a while for the Warpsnatcher to finally calm down enough that it was comfortable being alone. Artemis had definitely been right in that it could sense the power level of others, something that was really hammered home when the poor Warpsnatcher went outside and saw the giant Primordial tree in the distance. This resulted in the poor thing hiding in Jake’s arms for another few hours.

The little fella was pretty quick at adapting, though, and while it remained scared of Artemis,...

Chapter 1140 - Little Fella

Jake honestly felt a bit relieved when he saw it was “only” an S-grade with a Divine Blessing that had shown up. A part of him had feared Artemis would send some lower-ranked god, or worse, come on her own to provide assistance. If that had happened, the situation would have been a bit too much in Jake’s opinion, though even this was a lot.

At least Jake deemed it so based on the looks he got from the crowd, especially Keerla, Solana, and the poor caretaker, who looked like he wan...

Chapter 1139 - Friends In High Places

“Do you intend to continue your hunt?” the Sovereign asked after a few seconds of silence.

Jake shook his head. “No, I don’t see the point. If this Chimera was the most powerful that this planet had to offer, there are no opponents left worth hunting. Well, I still think you could put up a good fight, but since you’re being boring and refuse to fight, I guess my time here is done. Speaking of being done, you took quite a while dealing with that Fae, eh?”

“I informed ...

Chapter 1138 - Event Horizon

The wonders of skill selection. Jake always liked them. They offered a great opportunity to review Jake's accomplishments since receiving his last one, but far more importantly, they provided the best system-supported method for directly experiencing a power increase. Outside of evolutions, that is.

This skill selection was perhaps the most exciting yet. At the end of every grade, one would get a skill related to the essence of that class. Before C-grade, Jake’s classes hadn’t been ...

Chapter 1137 - Cloak & Katars

The shadows became denser while Jake floated over toward the cloak as it floated within the Shadow Realm. It was giving off a powerful aura now, and as the item was complete, he instantly knew. Despite it being an entirely new item, the cloak was already bound to Jake as it had been created using his old cloak.

Looks-wise, not much had changed. It remained an entirely black cloak, except now it looked almost intangible. Holding out his hand, the cloak began floating toward him, and as i...

Chapter 1136 - Weakness Overcome

Within the eternal darkness of the Shadow Realm, the goddess who called it her home observed a small corner of this multiverse-covering realm with great interest. A curiosity for sure, considering the involved parties she observed were merely a C- and a B-grade locked in combat.

The entire fight was... sloppy. Almost to a hilarious degree. One fighter was extremely skilled and was, in certain areas, able to be considered unrivaled, especially in his grade, if not among all mortals. Mean...

Chapter 1135 - Limitations Of The Human Body

Jake had entered this final stage of the fight with quite a few injuries, but so had the Chimera. In fact, between the two of them, the Chimera was definitely the worst off. While whatever Umbra had done had increased its overall power, she hadn’t healed the monster at all, and whatever poison permeated its system remained as powerful as ever.

Defensively, the only new addition was the cloak, but it wasn’t as if the B-grade lacked durability in the first place. The addition of the c...

Chapter 1134 - Umbral Influence

Jake stared into the sky's eternal darkness, trying to discern who or what was observing his clone. At his side, the Eternal Shadow followed his gaze as it, too, looked back at whatever presence lurked.

At this moment, Jake also noticed something else. In the distance, the Chimera that had just been blasted away stopped mid-flight as its entire body turned fully black, as if it had become one with the shadows, frozen in time and place.

His Eternal Shadow looked toward the sky for ...

Chapter 1133 - Shadow Realm

Through great struggle, the Chimera extracted Eternal Hunger from within its body, the weapon slowly emerging from the bark. As it did this, the B-grade also struggled with Jake’s constant barrage of arrows, his attacks never giving his opponent the slightest chance to rest or recover as damage kept accumulating across the Chimera’s body.

During his shooting, Jake also noticed a few flashes of light out of the corner of his eye, and based on the auras he vaguely felt in that directi...

<AUTHOR NOTE>

No chapter tomorrow (4th of July 2025). I could make up the excuse it's to respect the Americans celebrating and whatnot, but in actuality, it’s just been so fucking hot in Denmark I’m drained as fuck, and combined with me being away most of the day tomorrow, including in the morning, I’m taking the day off.

TLDR: Taking tomorrow off because of the Americans.

Chapter 1131 - Psychological Warfare

Assassinations weren’t just about killing a target. At least not for the Court of Shadows. It was the Path of their entire faction, and the Path of many of their members. However, just like it was a hunter’s Path to slay monsters, that didn’t mean the hunter could just kill any monster.

A hunter could slay a thousand weak beasts an entire grade below himself, and it would give him nothing. In fact, it could hurt his own Records. In the same vein, an assassin didn’t merely...

Chapter 1130 - Vault

Jake had not expected to see anything that wasn’t a hunter with a Blessing somewhere literally called the Hunting Grounds. In so many ways, it made little sense at all, as from Jake’s perspective, these monsters were all set up as potential targets for young talents of the Pantheon of Life to hunt. Giving something like that was a massive gamble at best and a total waste at worst.

Not to say a Lesser Blessing was a tremendous investment from a god, but it was an investment neverthel...

Chapter 1129 - More Complicated Than First Assumed

Jake needed a moment to process what the Sovereign had just said. Looking toward where the B-grade bird was pointing, Jake was damn close to calling the Sovereign a damn lier as the Forest Fae being this close seemed too much of a coincidence, but he didn’t. Instead, he asked the B-grade to clarify.

“The most powerful B-grade you say... now why would the Forest Fae be in their domain? Are they allies? If so, why is the Forest Fae located in Area 1, and this other B-grade in Area 5?�...

Chapter 1128 - A Diabolical Strategy

Jake couldn’t help but feel that this entire planet was fake somehow. After arriving in Area 5 and spotting the Grand Lake, it looked nearly identical to the one on the other side of the planet. This one was also almost perfectly circular and about the same size, while being filled with similar-sized islands. It all felt like someone playing a planet-building video game and, after making one Area, got lazy and just copy-pasted it a few times to finish quicker.

Thinking about it a bit ...

Chapter 1127 - Rain & Smoke

Elsewhere in the domain belonging to the Pantheon of Life, a Hunting Ground not dissimilar to the one Jake was at also had some notable visitors. The granddaughter of Nature’s Attendant had come, and contrary to Jake, she had no chance of staying anonymous, as she was quite known throughout the Pantheon of Life.

Even if she wasn’t, her aura made it clear she belonged to a powerful Lineage, her dryad race also far from an ordinary one. What was unusual was her travel companion, thoug...

Chapter 1126 - Defensive Measures Of Tree Monsters & How To Counter Them

Hiding the majority of its body beneath the ground was honestly a good way for tree monsters to avoid getting attacked. Not the best way, but beings like that really needed anything they could get their branches on to deal with opponents able to inflict serious damage at long range.

It was definitely the biggest weakness of tree monsters. They tended to have far higher Vitality and Toughness as well as resource pools that not even Jake could compete with. Several incredibly powerful pas...

Chapter 1125 - Emeraldclaw Prideleader

Well... it turns out the B-grade lioness hadn’t been entirely wrong when she postured and claimed Jake wouldn’t even be able to hit her. He had chosen her as his next target, and after finding her island, he found it the entire center of the place, mostly deserted with nothing there but a large mound of rocks with the lioness sitting on top of it, seemingly waiting for Jake’s arrival.

Brief scouting confirmed all the C-grades were towards the outer edges of the island, making the ...

Chapter 1124 - Craters

The Forest Fae floated above the massive crater alongside two other B-grades; one a small treant and the other a female lion-like creature in humanoid form, making her resemble a beastkin. Below them, energy pulsed with their every breath, fissures of pure destruction still marring the land from what had happened there only half an hour prior.

“Did they deploy a B-grade hunter?” the lion asked, her face full of concern.

“We cannot rule it out, though whoever it is must be re...

Chapter 1123 - His Lordship, The Draconic Crocolisk

Biting off the head of the green-furred ape, the Draconic Crocolisk chewed as the skull was crushed within its maw. Drinking the blood from the now headless captive, the B-grade celebrated as the many other scaled monsters around also reveled in their victory.

After the Simivita Warlord had fallen, the natives of what was formerly known as Simivita Island all fled, while those who were left behind had all been hunted down. The damn apes weren’t easily gotten rid of, and chances were t...

Chapter 1122 - Ree-Covered

“We’ll arrive shortly,” the god said as she looked at the hawk that was roosting on top of her bed, having gathered all the bedding to make a small nest.

“Ree!” Sylphie responded happily before flapping her wings and flying up.

“I want to bring attention to the fact that our late arrival is primarily because you insisted on taking detours,” the god sighed, as she wondered why she had even taken this job... well, alright, she knew why she had taken it. Escorting the S...

Chapter 1121 - Archery Upgrade Successfully Failed

Jake slowly woke up as he felt something pressing down on his chest. At first, he thought that maybe the little Warpsnatcher had decided to use him as a pillow, but as he observed through his sphere, he realized that definitely wasn’t the case.

Opening his eyes, Jake saw a lot of different colors as he found himself covered in fruits of different shapes and sizes. A particularly big, coconut-looking fruit rested on his chest, carefully balanced and propped up by other fruit all around...

Chapter 1120 - Retreat

Jake was arrogant. Cocky. This wasn’t something he would ever dispute, and he was fully aware of who he was. However, no matter how arrogant Jake was, he still knew when he found himself in a situation he couldn’t handle.

Dealing with the Rainbowfeather Sovereign was already a gamble. Jake wasn’t entirely confident he would win their fight, but now that other B-grades had decided to get involved, he knew he wouldn’t stand a chance.

Looking at the Sovereign, the bird was ev...

Chapter 1119 - "Great... just great."

Jake’s entire body was battered and broken, and all he could realistically do was just try to keep everything together. As he saw the Rainbowfeather Sovereign recover in real-time, his already aching body started to hurt even more.

Looking at his resources, things weren’t great there either.
