Chapter 1216: Chapter 964 A God?
As an energy being, Little Zi spent a great deal of time analyzing what exactly this so-called Divine Status was after obtaining it, but so far, had only a vague idea. However, Little Zi’s understanding was pretty much the same as Long Yi’s—they both saw Divine Status as something akin to identity proof. With it, you could gain Divine Power, and it would slowly and steadily accumulate more Divine Power for you.
Beyond that, the Divine Status didn’t have many other uses.
Of course, Divine Status had a natural hierarchical suppression effect on certain life forms; some beings couldn’t even refuse any commands in the presence of Divine Status. However, Long Yi hadn’t encountered such a situation. After he obtained his Divine Status, he couldn’t influence anyone at all. Perhaps this was a special skill only gods or Divine Envoys had? And once the Divine Status changed hands, the show was over.
In any case, the message Suolin sent through time and space couldn’t be wasted. Ai Lin was getting ready to buy a new Tetrahedron, and even if she managed to buy it, she temporarily couldn’t meet with herself. Long Yi didn’t know what would happen when the four Tetrahedrons were combined, and he didn’t plan to find out.
"I’m ready to open this Tetrahedron," Long Yi said.
Little Zi and the Silver Dragon girl both nodded simultaneously, indicating they were aware.
Long Yi raised his Divine Status to its highest, while energy emanated from his body; Little Zi also raised her Divine Status, so she wouldn’t be suppressed by the opponent’s Divine Status. The Silver Dragon girl cast an extremely complicated Array - because it was a Dragon Clan Magic, Long Yi completely didn’t understand what it was.
Just as Long Yi had guessed, when he tried to open one of the Tetrahedrons, all three of them opened! The three spheres of light fused almost instantaneously, creating an even larger sphere.
"Why not merge with us, my Avatar!" A fluctuation came through, turning into an imposing female voice.
"Your Avatar? Who do you think you are?" Long Yi scoffed.
"I? I am, of course, a god! You, a lowly Avatar, dare to defy me!" The large sphere of light suddenly expanded, taking on the shape of a Divine Envoy and reaching for Long Yi. Along with her motion, Long Yi actually felt his Divine Status loosen!
It really wasn’t reliable, not being his own!
"Want my Divine Status? Wishful thinking!"
Long Yi swiftly retreated. Against a Divine Envoy, ordinary attacks were useless. The battle between Divine Status was simple: it was a contest of who was stronger!
Inside the Ancient Mage Tower, Long Yi’s Divine Status had grown because he had received faith. Even though the growth wasn’t significant, it was much stronger than when he had first obtained the Divine Status. It was because of that faith that the Divine Status, which originally didn’t belong to him, was gradually merging with him. And Little Zi seemed to be doing even better. As an energy being, she chose to merge with the Divine Status, making her fusion with the Divine Status even more complete than Long Yi’s.
Seeing that Long Yi and the Divine Envoy were starting to struggle, Little Zi immediately began to suppress using her Divine Status.
The Divine Envoy let out a roar, activating three times her Divine Status at full strength, starting to fight against both Long Yi and Little Zi. Fighting the triple Divine Status with double was unrealistic from the start, and what was most important was that the Divine Status of both Long Yi and Little Zi originally didn’t belong to them. This meant that in an already uphill battle, they were unsurprisingly at a disadvantage.
"No wonder Suolin warned us not to wait until we had more than four Tetrahedrons—three are already this challenging! I was actually thinking about gathering all the Tetrahedrons in the plane before acting," Long Yi said.
"It’s good that you’re not crazy enough to do that yet, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, we need to figure out how to deal with this guy first," Little Zi said.
"I do have a plan, but I need a short window of opportunity," Long Yi said, his body covered in golden arcs. That was the Cosmic Stone, created by the Giants. It had been restless from the very beginning, circling around Long Yi, constantly trying to devour the opponent’s Divine Status. But due to the obvious difference in rank, this devouring was impossible.
Yet, this only incited the Cosmic Stone’s ferocity even more, releasing all its energy in an attempt to consume the Divine Status.
Actually, Long Yi also noticed that since owning the Divine Status, the power of the Cosmic Stone had grown a lot. The golden power originally came from the Giant’s weapon, the Greatsword. Sometimes Long Yi wondered, as a cosmic invincible Giant, what exactly was the point of creating such weapons?
At that moment, the Silver Dragon girl’s Magic was finally complete, which surprised Long Yi. The Divine Envoy should have had absolute hierarchical suppression over the Dragon Clan, and if it were any other life form, they would definitely be too anxious to breathe by now, but this Silver Dragon girl showed no excess reaction. Originally, there were no Silver Dragons in the entire cosmos. The cosmos’ first Silver Dragon was Long Yi’s fighter jet. So, what was the deal with these Silver Dragons that had appeared out of nowhere?
But now was not the time for Long Yi to get lost in thought because the Silver Dragon girl’s Magic had finally been accomplished!
You see, the Silver Dragon was completely free from curses, possessing the full power of the Dragon Clan! The Magic that required such a long time to complete, even with the Dragon Clan’s incredible strength, must be tremendously powerful.
Hum!
Mana resonated, the space trembled, and a spherical enclosed structure slowly formed, enveloping the Divine Envoy inside! At that very moment, Long Yi and Little Zi also felt the pressure of the Divine Status on them completely vanish!
"This is an Exile Space, I’ve temporarily banished the Divine Envoy into the void, but I can only maintain it for ten seconds!" the Silver Dragon girl said.
"Enough! Little Zi, do you remember the plan I just told you about?" Long Yi shouted.
"The Magic is being prepared!" Little Zi drew out all her Divine Power, infusing it into her mental Magic. Her eyes flickered with the glimmer of Divine Power, the complex Array rotated relentlessly, propelling the luminance to greater brilliance.
Meanwhile, Long Yi himself infused the Cosmic Stone completely into the palm of his hand, along with it his entire Divine Power. It was a desperate battle, and Long Yi couldn’t afford to hold anything back; he had to defeat his enemy in one strike!
"Three! Two! One!"
The Silver Dragon girl’s Magic collapsed, and even roaring, charged out.
"Mental Impact!"
Little Zi screamed, and the Mental Impact tinged with Divine Power struck the Divine Envoy directly.
Little Zi’s Divine Power finally created a breach for the Mental Impact, even causing a very brief state of stupor. At this moment, Long Yi had already activated the Giant’s Ring, and everything in his eyes slowed down.
"Now’s the time!"
Boom!
The dark golden Ouroboros, carrying all of Long Yi’s Divine Power, blasted straight into the eyes of the Divine Envoy!
The Divine Envoy, just beginning to struggle, was instantly frozen in place!
"What... have you done! Mortal!"
The Divine Envoy said with difficulty, it was obvious that the suppression of the Divine Status had failed.
"I’m not quite sure! But in the end, it’s definitely not a good thing, I guess!" Long Yi said with a smile.
"Blasphemy against the gods! You shall be punished!" The Divine Envoy roared and conjured a golden Greatsword out of thin air, slashing directly at Long Yi!
Long Yi took out the Cosmic Stone Greatsword and returned a slash, only to hear a clang—the Cosmic Stone Greatsword actually shattered!
"Lingling!" Long Yi roared.
Fortunately, the black core of Lingling’s Cosmic Stone was not damaged. The fragmented Cosmic Stone shards in the sky quickly absorbed back into the black core, and Lingling returned to its Greatsword form. However, Long Yi was astonished to find that no energy could be mustered within the Greatsword!
Shit!
Long Yi cursed inwardly, watching as the Divine Envoy’s golden Greatsword descended once more. In desperation, he pulled out a Giant Greatsword, hidden in his personal space!
The massive blade easily blocked the Divine Envoy’s slash! And right after that slash, the golden Greatsword quickly shrank to a size suitable for Long Yi to wield. The perfect grip provided Long Yi with immense confidence!
"Giant’s Armament! You’re a Giant! You traitor!" The Divine Envoy bellowed, launching a frenzied assault on Long Yi. But Long Yi, with the Giant Greatsword in hand, managed to block all the Divine Envoy’s attacks!
Bang!
A dark golden arc of electricity emerged from the Divine Envoy’s body. As the attacking Divine Envoy’s hand trembled, his Greatsword immediately disappeared. Long Yi knew the Ouroboros had done its job! His Giant Greatsword grew larger once again, and Long Yi wielded it desperately, clashing against the Divine Envoy with a metallic sound. However, Long Yi could feel that with each strike, even the Divine Status weakened a bit! The Ouroboros was bringing back a portion of the Divine Status into Long Yi’s Greatsword!
"You thief, betrayer, you’ll never get my Divine Status! You’ll never dream of it!" The Divine Envoy said, and then he actually turned to flee!
"If I let you get away, I’d be the laughingstock for a lifetime!" Long Yi roared, and the Ouroboros in the Greatsword resonated, a dark golden arc connected from the Greatsword right onto the Divine Envoy’s body. Like a shackle, it could not be shaken off!
The Divine Envoy screamed and yelled, unable to prevent the Divine Status from being continuously pulled out by the Ouroboros!
Long Yi could clearly feel that, as the Ouroboros returned, the Divine Status within him grew stronger!
"You robber! You might take away my Divine Status! But you will never be able to take away my most precious possession!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Divine Envoy’s Divine Status and all his Divine Power were brought back into Long Yi’s body by the Ouroboros. Long Yi could feel a powerful Divine Status merging with his own original Divine Status. The excess Divine Power not only fully replenished what Long Yi lost but even more than before!
Not a bad haul.
"Have you succeeded, Mr. Long Yi?" the Silver Dragon girl asked.
"Yes, thanks to your help, I have succeeded!" Long Yi replied.
"That’s good to hear. I was worried earlier. Since you have succeeded, I shall take my leave now," the Silver Dragon girl said.
"Eh? Leaving so soon? I haven’t had the chance to thank you properly," Long Yi said, somewhat surprised.
"Because my sole purpose of coming here was to assist you. Now that my task is completed, naturally, there’s no need for me to stay any longer." The Silver Dragon girl’s personality was very similar to that of an Elf, characterized by decisive, no-nonsense actions.
"Well, then, I thank you once again for your help, and please be careful on your way," Long Yi said, nodding.
"Alright." Having said that, the Silver Dragon girl turned around and transformed into a huge Silver Dragon in midair. The scales on the Silver Dragon’s body fused together seamlessly, and mysterious Runes slowly emerged on them. The Runes gradually filled with Mana, releasing a dazzling light.
Boom!
The Silver Dragon turned into a streak of light and vanished into the cosmos. Long Yi, witnessing this spectacle, realized that this magic closely resembled the working principle of the Cosmic Accelerator.
Well, after all, the Cosmic Accelerator is also a huge magical device.
Long Yi shook his head, it was time to return.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
