Chapter 705: Captured by Carelessness
The Abomination Hunting Ground is both a complete and real dimension as well as a special divine artifact. Apart from its lack of offensive or defensive capabilities due to its unique nature, it is not included in the usual classification of divine artifacts, yet it truly possesses a value that surpasses that of higher-tier divine artifacts. No one would object to classifying it among higher-tier divine artifacts.
This situation makes the Abomination Hunting Ground dimension, for its master Donald, akin to a true god’s kingdom. Any invaders who enter this kingdom will inevitably be detected by the master immediately.
If those unaware of these circumstances treat this dimension as an ordinary resource realm, it is doomed to a tragic end.
Anim was now very glad for his wise decision. As a merchant and god of anomalies, most of his worship came from creatures in the barren void regions at the edges of the outer realms. The material worlds with the most advanced commerce in the multiverse were firmly held by the gods. Foreign deities, especially evil gods like Anim who originated from anomalies, were highly rejected by the gods. Thus, it was extremely difficult for him to gain any worship in a material realm like the main world.
After dedicating thousands of years to secret planning, Anim had only managed to establish a church organization in a remote small material realm within the inner realms. In other realms, he had at most two or three scattered followers, mostly anomalies, who could not integrate into the societies of mainstream intelligent beings. As a mid-tier god, his strength had not improved much over the years. Frustrated by this, his hatred toward the true gods in the Pantheon also grew to a certain extent.
After briefly cooperating with several rivals from the Nature God faction to undermine the development of his future enemy, the Commercial Goddess, Anim grew bolder. To him, the Nature God faction’s decision to open the Abomination Hunting Ground was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.
As a true god who became divine in the outer realms rather than ascending to the upper realms through dimensional backlash, Anim believed he had hidden the location of his kingdom very well. Even those evil gods and monsters he had interacted with did not know its exact location. Thus, even if something went wrong, he would not face the risk of destruction—only the loss of his avatar.
And as long as he sneaked in secretly and reaped the benefits first, even the strongest among the Nature Gods would likely be just a mid-tier god. Anim was very confident in his own strength. Even if the allies of the Nature Gods heard about it, it would take them some time to arrive, by which time he would have already escaped. That’s why Anim boldly chose to take this risk and infiltrate the Plane of Divine Abominations Hunting Ground. Upon entering this vast plane, he found that the rules here were much less restrictive than those in the main world, and the pressure from superior strength wasn’t severe either. His lower-tier god avatar could fully unleash its true combat power. Feeling this way, Anim’s heart grew lighter. With a smirk, he sneered, “Those true gods who have the desire but not the courage—now they’ll have to let me enjoy all the benefits alone!” After saying that, the merchant and the God of Abominations carefully descended into the interior of the plane, still cautious and not lowering their guard. This was Anim’s consistent habit, and it was also a crucial reason why he, a small half-possessed abominable creature expelled from the main world, was able to stand out among billions of ordinary beings and embark on the path to becoming an immortal true god. True gods naturally moved at great speed. Even though Anim tried to slow down, he still landed on the continent of the Plane of Divine Abominations Hunting Ground within just over ten minutes. Looking around, he saw vast mountains beneath his feet. To his surprise, not far away, he spotted a group of divine abominations. “What good luck! I’ve encountered so many prey right after arriving!” They were a group of demi-god-level divine abominations. Anim didn’t recognize their names or characteristics, but he wasn’t surprised. After all, divine abominations came in all sorts of forms. There were countless varieties alone among the descendants of the exiled divine abominations in the outer void realms, and the emergence of divine abominations involved many uncertainties. So even the most learned true gods couldn’t identify every single one. “What good luck! I was wondering where to look, and here you come, willingly falling into my trap…” Just as Anim was about to act, he suddenly heard another clear voice laughing right after his words. Without turning around, Anim knew he had likely been discovered. So he immediately released a purple mist, like evil tentacles, attacking from behind, then turned to flee forward without looking back.
However, before the purple mist could appear or Anim’s body could take any further action, it suddenly froze. The suppression of the plane’s rules instantly came into play, hindering Anim’s plan to escape. With this slight obstruction, in the next instant, a golden divine light like a rainbow swept through, freezing both the purple mist and Anim himself as if time had stopped. In the plane under his control, with a mid-tier god entity capable of exerting pressure a full rank higher than the intruder, along with powerful weapons like high-grade divine artifacts, and the advantage of a surprise attack, wasn’t it easy to capture just a lower-tier god avatar? The merchant and Anim’s avatar didn’t even get a chance to self-destruct before losing control of their avatar, with their consciousness falling into a state of stagnation. This was the first time Donald had utilized the powerful effects of his time law domain combined with the Truth Book; actual combat proved that the power of the time domain was indeed undeniable. In fact, if Anim hadn’t relied on luck and failed to self-destruct his avatar the moment he was discovered, losing his last chance, the outcome might have been different! After finishing these actions, Donald didn’t stay in the Field of Divine Slaughter any longer. He instantly teleported away from this plane and returned to his divine kingdom before entering the Land of Truth to deal with this intruder. Although this guy appeared human in appearance, his eerie expression and pale, smooth skin clearly indicated his non-human nature. Wearing a ridiculous banquet suit, the combination of these elements made him look extremely strange. After the previous attack, Donald had specifically gathered information about possible enemies from several familiar allies, so he recognized the intruder’s identity right from the start. Among the gods, only one liked to appear in this guise to outsiders—that was the merchant and god of oddities, Anim. Donald mercilessly waved his hand, releasing a divine beam that penetrated into Anim’s unconscious divine core, beginning to search through the memories in that part of the merchant and god’s soul.
