Gods of Destruction

Chapter 6 I Want to Become the God

"Get out of here quickly!" Abbas roared.Nasser Reza hoisted Hina onto his back and ran at full speed, with Abbas close behind. Even with Hina on his back, Nasser Reza's pace was still much faster than Abbas's."Nasser Reza, this isn't going to work. Hina's injuries can't wait. If we keep going like this, she'll die. Don't worry about me; get Hina to the cave as fast as you can. There's a hemostatic drug in the cave. Apply it to Hina and then bandage her wounds.""Got it."Nasser Reza nodded and sprinted towards the cave at full speed. Sweat poured down his face in large beads, and his veins bulged like worms, both terrifying and fierce.Hina lay unconscious on Nasser Reza's back, her condition growing worse."Hina, Hina!"Nasser Reza called out to Hina twice, but received no response, making him even more anxious. He pushed himself to run faster."Faster, faster," Nasser Reza urged himself in his mind.As Nasser Reza ran desperately, the distance to the cave grew shorter, and he could faintly see the shape of the low hill.Finally, Nasser Reza reached the cave with Hina on his back. He quickly lit a fire, not pausing for a breath. He grabbed the hemostatic drug and immediately applied it to Hina's wound. The palm-sized injury, with its raw and torn flesh, made Nasser Reza's heart ache deeply.Fortunately, the injury hadn't damaged any bones and was not too severe.After applying the medicine, Nasser Reza found a clean cloth and bandaged the wound. He then laid Hina on the bedding and, hearing her breathing gradually steady, finally let out a sigh of relief. Exhausted, he collapsed onto the ground.After a while, hurried footsteps were heard from outside the cave, and soon Abbas appeared, panting heavily and looking anxious."How is she? Is Hina alright?" Abbas asked."She's fine now. She's just unconscious," Nasser Reza replied.Abbas collapsed onto the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."The two of them sat by the campfire, staring at the flickering flames, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.Suddenly, Abbas's fists began to pound the ground, and the pain on his face revealed his inner turmoil."Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!"Abbas growled, his voice low as he roared with frustration. With each "damn it," he slammed his fists into the ground, his knuckles splitting open and blood seeping out. He didn't seem to care at all."How could this happen?" Abbas stared at Hina lying on the ground, his eyes cold and resolute.Nasser Reza realized just how important Hina was to Abbas.At that moment, Abbas's eyes suddenly hardened with determination. "If the wars in this world can't be stopped, then I will become the god of this world.""I will become the god of this world, using force to strangle the wars. Whoever starts a war, I will kill them."As Abbas spoke, his gaze was fixed ahead, his expression conveying an indescribable resolve. At that moment, he seemed like a god—the god of this world."Become the god of this world?" Nasser Reza murmured to himself. "They say gods can control life and death."At that moment, Abbas's dream also became Nasser Reza's dream.The next day, dark clouds covered the sky, casting a gloomy pall over the desolate plains. The cold wind bent the wild grasses, and the incessant rain blurred the young man's vision.In the midst of this wasteland, the scene was one of devastation, like a hell on earth. The once-flat terrain was now scarred with deep pits, severed limbs, and countless corpses piled on the ground. Torn flags, stained with unknown blood, flapped in the wind. Blood mingled with rainwater, slowly flowing, while vultures flapped their wings, feasting on human flesh.Two young figures stood amidst the battlefield, clad in cloaks and with fists tightly clenched. They were Nasser Reza and Abbas."Nasser Reza, if we want to survive and change this world, we can't just rely on words. We need power," Abbas said solemnly."Power?""Yes, not just strength, but a power so formidable that no one can overlook it. We need to become warriors—powerful warriors, the kind who stand at the pinnacle," Abbas said, his words filled with intense desire."And this war seems to be on a massive scale, which means there must be powerful warriors involved. Such strong individuals usually carry their cultivation spells with them. What we need to do now is find those spells."Nasser Reza nodded. He knew that those who had slaughtered his village and killed his parents and sister were powerful warriors. To seek revenge, he needed strength to match theirs.Without waiting for more from Abbas, Nasser Reza plunged into the battlefield.Abbas smiled. This guy is even more impatient than I am.Amidst the devastation and scattered corpses of the battlefield, Nasser Reza and Abbas began their search. They endured the overwhelming and nauseating stench of blood, turning over every body and feeling through their clothes for any signs of the cultivation spells they sought.The sky was dim, and a fine drizzle covered the vast wasteland. The only sounds were the soft patter of rain, occasional rustling as corpses were turned, and the screeches of vultures.After an indeterminate amount of time, Nasser Reza and Abbas had scoured most of the battlefield. Each carried a few thread-bound books, some of which were stained with red blood.The scale of the war was immense, but not every soldier possessed cultivation techniques."Someone!"Suddenly, the two of them noticed an old figure standing not far ahead. Despite simply standing there, the figure seemed to merge with the surroundings, exuding an aura of extreme majesty and power.Their faces turned pale. Could there still be someone alive on this battlefield?Nasser Reza and Abbas crouched down, not daring to move or even breathe heavily. Cold sweat began to bead on their backs. To the powerful participants of this war, killing them would be as simple as crushing an ant.However, after a long time, the old figure remained motionless.Could it be a corpse?Nasser Reza and Abbas exchanged a look, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.After waiting a moment longer, they finally mustered the courage to approach the figure slowly. Nasser Reza gripped the blood-stained sword tightly in his hand.As they drew closer, their nerves were at their limit, and their hearts began to race uncontrollably.Finally, they reached the figure and touched it gently with their hands, finding it ice-cold.It turned out to be long dead.Whew, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. They exchanged a look and, remembering their earlier fright, couldn't help but smile a bit. It was just a corpse, yet they had been so frightened.They still wondered about the identity of this figure, who, even in death, exuded such an imposing presence. It must have been someone significant.Nasser Reza and Abbas examined the figure closely. The figure wore a magnificent red robe, and the wooden staff in its hand was set with dark red gemstones. Beneath the pale hair was a youthful face in its twenties, with a sword-like brow and a fierce expression.Following the old man's gaze, they saw that directly ahead, another similarly aged figure stood there.Though both figures were lifeless, the pressure they exuded seemed to press and clash against each other, creating an intangible sense of dominance.Without hesitation, Nasser Reza and Abbas pushed aside the corpse in front of them, causing the hostile atmosphere between the two figures to dissipate. Regardless of how powerful they might have been in life, what mattered to Nasser Reza and Abbas now were only the cultivation techniques they carried.They retrieved a golden book from the old man's embrace without even checking its contents, then moved on to the distant standing figure, pushing it aside to extract a blue book.Nasser Reza and Abbas looked at their findings with satisfaction and smiled. They quickly left the area. In such a place, unless something particularly important was happening, no one would want to stay even a second longer.When they returned to the cave, they found Hina already awake, anxiously staring at the cave entrance, her face pale from blood loss."Where have you been? What happened? Is everything alright?" Hina asked, her voice filled with concern.Seeing Nasser Reza and Abbas, Hina's anxious expression finally eased. She noticed the mud and blood on them and began to ask a flurry of questions."Heh, we just went out for a bit, nothing to worry about. And we found some good stuff. We'll tell you all about it after we clean up," Abbas said with a mysterious smile.A quarter of an hour later, after Nasser Reza and Abbas had cleaned themselves up, the three sat together with their finds from the battlefield spread out in the middle."These are what Nasser Reza and I found from yesterday's battlefield," Abbas said."What? You went there?" Hina asked, surprised.Hina was startled, realizing that the battlefield, which was just the aftermath of yesterday's war, had left them in such a dire state. The fact that Abbas and Nasser Reza had gone there was surprising."Oh, don't react so much," Abbas said quickly, noticing Hina's shocked and somewhat horrified expression. "The war there had already ended. We weren't foolish enough to go there just to get ourselves killed.""Okay." Hina responded with a hint of coldness, her expression returning to its usual icy demeanor. "So these are what you two found on the battlefield.""That's right," Abbas said solemnly. "The events of yesterday, though dangerous, made me realize some things. In a world ravaged by war and moral decay, no one can avoid the impact of conflict. If we want to survive in this chaotic era, we must have great power. That's why Nasser Reza and I went to the battlefield and found these."Hina nodded. Her unique circumstances had given her a maturity beyond her years, and she understood the gravity of Abbas's words.Then the eyes of the three men focused on the books on the floor.The Bull CharmThe Burning SpellWind charm、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、The Setting Sun CharmEach book's cover was inscribed with completely unfamiliar terms, leaving Abbas and Nasser Reza feeling somewhat perplexed. Meanwhile, Hina, engrossed in the blue book, nodded approvingly from time to time.The Ice CharmNasser Reza and Abbas exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that Hina truly lived up to her reputation as the ice-cold beauty.They then refocused their attention on the remaining books, as Hina had found one that suited her. Abbas and Nasser Reza also needed to find their own."Path of Martial Arts"Suddenly, three large characters caught Nasser Reza and Abbas's attention
