Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Colombo handed the small pouch to Enzo.

He then presented a few special ores, saying, "These ores may not be precious, but they're quite good in Ambera City and can be used to forge a reliable weapon."

Seeing the ores surprised Enzo.

In the supernatural trial space, Dragons Land, he had fought the black dragon Nicolet and shattered his Flame Spear, leaving him weaponless since then.

While Disaster World might have suitable ores, Enzo hadn't searched for them. His blood-red armor could function as gauntlets.

Yet, having a weapon would enhance his strength.

Thus, Enzo accepted them.

He looked at Colombo and could tell that he was a shrewd person, but he didn't dislike Colombo's shrewdness, as he understood the importance of adapting to circumstances himself.

So, Enzo took the pieces of ore and said, "I actually do need a reliable weapon."

Seeing Enzo accept the ore, Colombo beamed with a smile.

Seizing the opportunity, he said, "Mr. Enzo, there is a master weaponsmith in Ambera City, but he is currently out. As soon as he returns, I will contact you right away."

Enzo nodded.

At that moment, Anarion ran over, saying, "Brother Enzo, I have a gift for you too."

Anarion took out a thick sketchbook.

The sketchbook was filled with hand-drawn illustrations and notes.

He explained, "Lord Enzo, as a recluse, you may not be familiar with the Fierce Beast world. This is the information I've gathered about various Fierce Beasts, along with some interesting rumors that might help you."

The book was indeed useful to Enzo.

But it was not as extensive as he had imagined.

However, seeing Anarion's sincere gaze reminded him of his former student, Per. After returning to the Crimson Star Tribe, he had only met Per briefly and had to leave in a hurry.

That made him feel a bit guilty.

He accepted the sketchbook and said, "I really appreciate this gift."

As he casually flipped through the pages, his expression suddenly changed upon seeing one entry.

Colombo noticed this shift .

Colombo felt a jolt of fear, thinking Anarion had angered Enzo. But Enzo's expression quickly returned to normal as he tucked the sketchbook away and asked, "Anarion, aside from gifts, do you have anything else to discuss today?"

Anarion looked up at his father, Colombo.

Colombo chuckled lightly, but his face soon grew serious as he said, "Mr. Enzo, the entire Ricardo family was brutally murdered last night. Someone has investigated and found that all of their shops and residences were violently searched."

"I understand what you mean." Enzo's expression also grew serious.

Colombo spoke to him about this matter, clearly because of their connection to the Ricardo family.

Moreover, Forty-Two Thieves had fallen at his hands.

If those who wiped out the Ricardo family discovered this information, they would undoubtedly seek out Enzo. However, Enzo was not afraid. Having spent more than a day in Ambera City, he noticed that while there were many supernatural beings, including quite a few at Levels 8 and 9, their true strength was considerably weaker.

This was far from being as good as the Disaster World.

Moreover, Enzo's current state means he has accumulated enough to step into Level 9 at any moment, becoming the most powerful being beneath the deity.

At that point, his strength will rise once more.

Thus, he was unconcerned about the masterminds behind the destruction of the Ricardo family, telling Colombo, "I will handle this."

Colombo's worries eased significantly.

He then mentioned some information he had gathered: "Mr. Enzo, according to investigations, the Ricardo family was targeted for seizing a Crimson Flame Meteorite from the Blood Ruins."

Enzo's interest was piqued. "Crimson Flame Meteorite? And what are the Blood Ruins?"

This question left Colombo utterly astonished.

As someone from the Fierce Beast world, how could he not know about the existence of the Blood Ruins?

Even recluses should be aware of it.

At that moment, Colombo began to suspect Enzo's identity, but rather than feeling afraid, he appeared excited. He waved his hand to signal Anarion and Rennes to leave. Once the room was left with just him and Enzo, he lowered his head and cautiously asked, "Mr. Enzo, you're not from the Fierce Beast world, are you?"

Enzo maintained an ordinary expression.

Colombo was a traveling merchant, and a shrewd one at that. Enzo had never been good at disguising himself, so he had long anticipated that his true identity might be uncovered one day.

He calmly replied, "So what if I am?"

To his surprise, Colombo became incredibly excited upon hearing this. He hurriedly confirmed, "Mr. Enzo, you really are from beyond this world!"

Enzo, feeling a bit impatient, urged, "Get to the point!"

Only then did Colombo begin to explain. "Mr. Enzo, what you may not know is that the entire Fierce Beast world is ruled by the Temple. Moreover, anyone born in the Fierce Beast world, even if they become deities, is still under the Temple's control."

"But becoming a supernatural being is all about freedom."

"However, once you become a deity, your freedom is still constrained. What's the point of being a deity then? But later on, someone discovered a method: members from other worlds would not be bound by the Temple."

"Furthermore, once people from other worlds reach the level of deity, they can break free from the Temple's constraints, enabling them to confront the Temple and ultimately eradicate it."

Colombo grew more and more animated as he spoke.

Enzo remained calm as he pulled out the album Anarion had given him, flipping to a page that detailed a story about a familiar figure.

He pointed to it and asked, "So, this Mr. Maude, known as the God of Hunting, is also a visitor from another world?"

Colombo was surprised. "Mr. Enzo, you know him?"

Enzo nodded but withheld further details, confirming only that Maude had appeared in this world, which was enough for him.

At that moment, a thought crossed his mind.

Could his arrival in this world via the Starry Sky teleportation array have been orchestrated by Maude, especially since Maude had used that very array before?

Of course, he needed to verify this.

Colombo continued with his earlier topic, saying, "When Mr. Maude arrived in the Fierce Beast world, he was already a low-tier deity. However, his strength seemed to far exceed that level. Those low-tier deities in the Temple were no match for him. "

"But then, he seemed to have encountered some kind of betrayal and now there's no news of him."

"Many people are aware of this."

After hearing this, Enzo fell silent.

He recalled what the consciousness of Artemis from the Disaster World had said in the Holy City: that Maude was currently trapped somewhere. Could that place be the Fierce Beast world?

It seems very likely now.

So, Maude brought him to the Fierce Beast world hoping he would help?

Enzo felt helpless about this.

Even if he could help, it wasn't the right time.

Not wanting to dwell on this matter further, Enzo turned to Colombo and asked, "Tell me about the Crimson Flame Meteorite and the Blood Ruins."

"Yes!"

Colombo began to explain again.

The Crimson Flame Meteorite is an incredibly magical metal mineral.It is very soft and can be shaped into various forms, but once infused with elemental power, it becomes extremely hard and greatly enhances elemental potency, making it a coveted forging material for many master blacksmiths throughout their lives.

The Blood Ruins, on the other hand, relate to an immortal deity.

It is the place where an immortal deity fell, and their blood soaked into the ground, giving rise to a multitude of supernatural beings with incredible abilities.

Possessing those treasures can significantly enhance one's strength.

Therefore, every day, people are killed in the Blood Ruins, and very few return alive. The fact that the Ricardo family managed to bring back the Crimson Flame Meteorite from the Blood Ruins seemed like a miraculous feat to Colombo.

Of course, this also led to the downfall of the Ricardo family.

After sharing this information, Colombo took Anarion and Rennes away, and only then did Enzo remember that he seemed to have forgotten to ask why he couldn't absorb the crystal.

However, it wasn't a big deal.

Soon after, Enzo entered the small world."

In the small world, the Protoss girl Carol lay lazily on the ground, playfully teasing Blackflame. When she saw Enzo arrive, she glanced at him and then ignored him.

Enzo walked over to Carol.

"Carol, do you want to go outside?"

Enzo asked.

At his words, Carol jumped up excitedly and asked, "Enzo, are you saying I can go out?"

Enzo nodded and replied, "Yes."

He then emphasized, "The world I'm in now is unknown. Once you're out, you must follow my commands. If you cause any trouble, I'll put you back in the small world."

Sensing the implication, Carol asked, "Is the outside world very dangerous?"
