God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

Chapter 475 CH 461: WOLVES

?

The first step Adam took inside the Phantasm Realm that was deployed by Fenrir's shadow made him curse out loud, at the top of his lungs.

"Fuck…"

It was cold. Incredibly cold. He felt like all his motor functions were suddenly reduced to nothing and his mind was slowing down in real time the moment he stepped inside the Realm of Ice and Snow.

More importantly… He felt like his balls were freezing up and his dick was shriveling just by standing in this place.

After all — He was utterly naked at the moment.

Adam understood that even if he had worn more than twenty pullovers one above the other, it would have changed nothing for him. The current cold was not something that could be fought simply with clothes alone. It was a form of frigid coldness that would permeate your bones, your mind, and even your soul.

But the matter of the fact was that, he now had to deal with running around in this frigid atmosphere with his balls freezing up in a negative temperature— a temperature that was far beyond anything possible for any normal supernatural being to bear.

This was truly a very shitty feeling.

Fortunately, his limited control over heat allowed him to absorb the minimal warmth in his body, safeguarding his vital organs.

The second thing he noticed was that this place was, quite literally, huge.

Relatively speaking, Natasha should have been in front of him now, or at least visible as he entered the Realm. However, even with his domain pushed to full power, he could not perceive her existence. Not even for a single instance. No matter what he tried.

This place was definitely like another dimension rather than any place on earth. It appeared to be a level beyond the typical Phantasm Realm his mother and Tsubasa were able to create and deploy on this world.

"How are you feeling?"

"Like utter shit. I think this place is between a Divine Kingdom and a fully developed Phantasm Realm. I guess I should say as expected of a Divine entity? Yeah, should have expected something like this when I entered this place…"

Divine Kingdom, as the name implied, was the dimension where gods resided and could manipulate the laws as they wished. These were practically personal spaces that constituted the respective god's kingdom and rule in a sense.

Eve had already explained this once to Adam so while he was surprised by the fact that what he was encountering was more of a Divine Kingdom rather than a Phantasm Realm, this did not change the situation at hand for him. It just made his situation relatively harder. Not much of a surprise since he was getting used to these shitty situations already.

Takoda chuckled as he looked down at his suit which was already wet from all the snow that had piled up. Taking it off as well as his shirt, he revealed his thick and muscular chest before groaning out loud as he stretched his arms and shoulders.

"Much better."

He hesitated a little about taking off his pants but decided to wait for the time being. Either way, the fabric would break when it would get ripped anyway.

His muscles wriggled a bit and a thicker vein formed on his arms, while a small patch of fur appeared on his chest and face.

His crimson eyes shone quietly as he adapted himself to the weather in real time.

This was only a very partial transformation but he needed to conserve energy as much as possible at the moment as he would need to deploy a Phantasm Realm to deal with the enemy at a moment's notice.

"Even though I can fight the cold, I feel like nearly 20% of my strength just went down just by entering this realm alone. This is… quite a bad situation, if I were to be frank…"

Adam nodded his head in acknowledgment, "I guess this is one of the effects of this realm."

A wide debuff zone. This alone already made the situation far trickier than they initially thought. Fighting against Natasha in this place was nothing but a huge pain n the ass.

"Should I activate my Phantasm Realm right now?"

"No. For now, the pressure is still bearable. Better take them by surprise when they are least expecting it."

He twirled his shoulders to adjust his rapidly stiffening muscles.

"Takoda. I will be honest with you here. When we reach Natasha, I might need to stay extremely focused and leave most of the combat to you. I am telling you this now so you know you can still leave while keeping a moderately good feeling between us."

Few things in this world were more hateful than betrayals and the betrayers who enacted such a dirty act, and if the rumors were right, Takoda had killed his father for a throne he would have received either way had he been more patient and dutiful with his responsibilities.

This fact alone went against everything Adam believed in. But since this was the tradition of the werewolves, one they worshipped and lived by, he did not want to bother with judging and condemning the man for his work.

Things would completely change though if he betrayed him while he was trying to save Natasha.

"I am not asking you to fight for your life. I am just warning you about what's to come. It's normal to prioritize yourself, however, the moment you walk ahead with me, any form of withdrawal will be considered betrayal. And… we will be irreconcilable enemies if that were to happen…"

His voice was cold and though he did not say what would happen in case of betrayal, the message could not have been any clearer.

'What a thick killing intent.'

Takoda marveled at the pressure coming from the man who had not even opened his Phantasm Realm yet. He had not even experienced his truth, and yet, he was able to make him feel so threatened.

The bloodlust coming from this man gave Takoda the illusion that he was facing someone who killed hundreds if not thousands of people in cold blood like it was nobody's business.

He idly wondered what kind of life such a young man must have lived to have so much blood on his hands but his expression did not waver even in the face of such overwhelming killing intent.

Compared to the gaze full of love and affection that his father directed toward him even when he realized his betrayal…

— This was practically nothing.

"Do not worry. I am tired of stabbing people in the back already."

He gave a frivolous smile to hide the emotions in his heart and started to walk forward, acting as the vanguard like he had promised.

He also wondered what kind of relationship this man had with the Silver Princess. This was not just a mission for this man but something personal, he could feel it in his bones.

But he did not ask. He had no intention of asking either.

They were not friends after all. This was simply a temporary partnership that was established due to pursuing similar goals.

"In this kind of realm, the closer we are to the target the greater the pressure will be. Can you run?"

"Heh. Why run when you can just fly?"

"Huh?"

Takoda wobbled a little bit when he felt his weight suddenly lighten considerably.

"Don't resist. I will take you with me as we fly through this horrid realm."

"Well…"

Takoda had to say. This was shaping up to be quite the adventure for him.

The two of them started to fly at full speed, whooshing over the Horizon as they zoomed through the whole Phantasm Realm.

Down below, the surroundings slowly started to change the further they went, going from a simple landscape of ice and snow to something much more sinister and dark.

Adam could feel it instinctively.

Death.

The aura of Death was everywhere. Ever present, almost, Omnipresent…

It was a place where nothing could live. A cold hell where only death and desolation existed by the decree of its ruler.

In the sky, unlike the black sun in Tsubasa's Phantasm realm, a silver moon was hanging high, giving a certain beauty to the surroundings.

Below him, sculptures of ice could be seen everywhere, as if showing the vestige of an incomparable battlefield.

Adam could hear it in his ears.

The cry of the souls.

The suffering of the masses as they faced an extinction event.

This was an apocalypse at a scale that shook heaven and earth. So powerful that even the gods were not spared of its wrath.

This was — Ragnarok.

The moment this realization appeared to him, Adam felt like the alarms in his brain were literally screaming at him to move away and he did the smart thing by listening to his instincts.

Crunch~!!

The maw of a giant wolf appeared where Adam had been flying previously, seemingly tearing out a chunk of space on the way.

Had he been a little slower, he would have most likely died by that attack alone.

"Damn…."

The image of the massive wolf vanished like it never existed, leaving one last glare at him as if warning him to not come any closer.

Takoda shivered ever so slightly at that display, but at the same time, his expression became filled with undeniable excitement.

This one night alone had given him more experience than in his full 60 years of life.

Truly the world was such a magical place.

"Let me down. I won't be able to fight in the air like you."

"Very well."

The moment Takedo felt the weight come back to normal he grinned and his body truly started to change into his full werewolf form.

Fur covered his whole body in an instant. He became taller, more than 2 meters in height, in fact.

His muscles became like a work of art and his face elongated slightly, becoming completely animalistic, the shape of a wolf…

His legs became slightly curved and when the transformation was completed, what stood in his stead was not a young-looking man but a bipedal giant grey wolf filled with the desire to fight, kill, and ravage.

AWOOO~!!

He howled to the moon with all his strength. Challenging the owner of this territory to a fight.

It was time to do the job he was supposed to do while entering the realm.

AN: Hi! How are you? I apologize for the late but for the last few days, I have been mad busy with some contract discussions. I already announced this on my Server but wanted to share it here. Long story short, I officially terminated the contract of SHK with Webnovel and got back the full right. More precisely share a story.

SHK will go back to being a non-contracted story. However, I will eventually start publishing myself on Amazon KU, etc. Normally the take down should happen by the end of this month. I will see. You can join my Patreon and read SHK if you are interested. I plan to start publishing the free chapter on my website/Scribble/Royal Road in the next month. GoC will stay exclusively on WN.

Speaking of which it's funny. GoC joined WN on the 4th December 2022. Now SHK officially terminated the contract on the 4th December 2023)

Visit and read more novel to help us update chapter quickly. Thank you so much!
