**Chapter 43: Dark Sun – Sherek! [Request for Recommendation Votes]**

Sherek is undoubtedly a madman.
But he is also a very cunning madman; otherwise, Soren wouldn’t have only just barely confirmed Sherek’s whereabouts until now.
As the Avatar of the God’s Chosen, Sherek is very cautious. He restrains his own power. Even when contending with the God’s Chosen from the Soren Church, he merely maintains a slight advantage. He is not in a hurry to eliminate his opponent but uses the moment of engagement to distance himself, then instantly vanishes into the darkness.
The number of enemies is very large.
Within the visible range alone, Sherek has discovered thousands of invaders from the Church of Shadows.
Although he has escaped the seal and developed a church, Sherek’s followers are clearly far inferior to Soren’s. After all, Soren still has the foundation of other churches, while Sherek was sealed for a thousand years and had to start everything from scratch.
He grits his teeth in painful frustration and gives up these followers.
Although he desires to k*ll Soren immediately, Sherek knows very well that this is not the right opportunity. He must remain patient and gather his strength.
In the vast night.
Sherek carefully breaks free from the encirclement and quickly retreats to the north.
He can no longer stay in the south; Soren’s church has too strong an influence there, and its intelligence network is too extensive, making it easy to discover his trail.
However.
Just as Sherek bursts through the encirclement, a tall man appears in his line of sight.
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
Soren’s figure emerges from the darkness, smiling as he slightly bows to Sherek, the Avatar of the God’s Chosen, and says, “Dark Sun – Your Excellency Sherek!”
The Tracking Divine Profession locks onto the target.
If it weren’t for Soren’s possession of the Tracking Divine Profession, Sherek might have indeed managed to escape this time.
A hint of divine radiance appears.
A powerful pressure emanates from all directions, and some kind of divine power seals off all surrounding space, causing Sherek’s expression to become grim.
“Hehe. It’s quite the grand gesture.”
Sherek’s face turns pale, showing his true form, and with a somewhat desperate expression, he says, “So many people have come. I suppose I should really feel honored.”
To the southwest, the figures of Vivian and Lilian materialize.
To the northeast, the Avatar of the Goddess of Wealth strides forward.
To the south, the figure of the Agricultural Goddess sits thoughtfully in a chair made of emerald-green vines, continuously watching Sherek in the distance.
To the north, the figure of the Princess hovers in midair, seemingly unaffected.
From the direction of the sea, the Avatar of the Ocean Goddess stands with a trident, gazing from afar, seemingly with no intention to attack.
Soren smiles silently.
Six deities with Medium Divine Power or above encircle Sherek, and the powerful space seal allows no possibility for escape. As for survival, the chances are incredibly slim.
“After all, you are the legendary Dark Sun.”
Soren, unconcerned by Sherek’s mocking tone, replies calmly, “When dealing with the former Prince of Lies, I believe being cautious is not excessive, is it?”
He is Sherek.
Once the foremost among the gods, at his peak, he was even stronger than the Lord of Radiance and Father Oak. He is the legendary Son of Fate, who rapidly rose during the first Saint’s Cataclysm and seized the powers of the Three d*ath Deities while stealing the Divine Profession of Shadows. At Sherek’s zenith, no other deity could confront him alone, and even in the face of judgment, it took the combined efforts of the gods to bring him down.
No one dares to underestimate him.
Even if Sherek is a madman, he is the most terrifying madman in the Multiverse!
If it weren’t for Sherek’s own self-destruction, there would be no current King of the Dead – Klanvor. He would have become the true Lord of d*ath, the absolute ruler of the lower planes, and even Asmothiels might not have been his match.
At his peak.
Sherek was closer to [Great Divine Power] than the current Lord of Radiance. To some extent, he had already achieved a status similar to Ye Ge.
Unfortunately, he ultimately brought about his own destruction.
If Sherek hadn’t wanted to become the ‘God Above Gods,’ his madness would not have led to his ruin, and in the end, Sherek would have surely been the deity most favored by fate.
His experiences are even more exaggerated than Soren’s.
While Soren has quickly reached Medium Divine Power, Sherek once advanced directly to Strong Divine Power during the Saint’s Cataclysm, and after advancing, he immediately began to stake a claim to Great Divine Power, seeking to become the God of Gods.
Although sealed for so long.
Soren still dares not underestimate him; after all, he is the legendary ‘Son of Fate.’ If given Sherek even a little chance, who knows what might happen in the end?
If he truly seizes the powers of Naraku and Klanvor, then the course of history would undoubtedly be altered.
Even surrounded by the gods, Sherek still does not give up hope. He is searching for opportunities and vulnerabilities, but to his immense disappointment, although the other deities show no immediate intention to attack, none of them are careless enough to let him escape.
This is Sherek!
Even before the Agricultural Goddess was born, she had heard of his great name, one of the figures the gods fear and hate the most!
If Sherek has any weaknesses, it is that he is far too arrogant.
Basically, Sherek has no allies and his relationships with other gods are extremely tense. When he originally created the Sherek Scripture, he intended to enslave the gods. If he hadn’t brought about his own madness through self-worship, the number of deities he would have ultimately betrayed would likely have been considerable.
No one dares to lower their guard.
Even the Goddess of Wealth and the Ocean Goddess, who have no intention of attacking, are cautious, keeping a watchful eye on any of Sherek’s possible actions.
A silver-white stream of light appears.
A strange silver-white curved blade manifests in Soren’s palm. This is an incomplete artifact, but it has already reached near Tier Five capability. Once Soren advances to Strong Divine Power, it will be completed, and at that time, it will become a Tier Six or above powerful artifact.
“Your Excellency Dark Sun.”
Surrounded by shadows, Soren’s figure instantly transforms into his True God form and speaks slowly, “Let us conclude our grievances.”
“The past of the Three d*ath Deities must end here.”
The power of the ancient God of d*ath, Ye Ge, was divided into three, leading to the later Three d*ath Deities, three evil entities of Strong Divine Power. During the first Saint’s Cataclysm, the Three d*ath Deities perished simultaneously, and Sherek acquired the majority of their power. However, due to his recklessness, Klanvor seized the Divine Profession of Milkor from him. Later, the God of Tyranny, Bane, was resurrected, Klanvor took command of the underworld ruling over d*ath, and Sherek became the God of m*rder, thus re-establishing the new pattern of the Three d*ath Deities. Before the Arcane Empire, Sherek attempted to ambush the God of Tyranny and steal divine power, but he did not expect that his actions had already angered the gods, leading him to face a second trial and be sealed, while the Divine Profession of the God of Tyranny was taken by the Demon God of Fear. Klanvor became the great winner of the time, fully mastering the God of d*ath System in the underworld.
Now.
Soren’s identity as the Son of Slaughter is a continuation of the Three d*ath Deities, Sherek still possesses the abilities of the God of m*rder, and Klanvor represents the ruler of the God of d*ath System.
This is an unavoidable fate duel!
Between Soren, Klanvor, and Sherek, it is destined that there can only be one victor, and that victor will become the true Lord of d*ath.
It seems that Sherek no longer has this opportunity.
The six deities with Medium Divine Power begin to gradually close in, completely surrounding the Prince of Lies from land, sea, and air. This time, Soren shows no mercy and mobilizes nearly all of his allies.
