Chapter 1878: Chapter 15: Battle of the Twin Gods
The tiny droplet of water was sent out by Li Xiang, not moving very fast, and unlike other spiritual power attacks, it didn’t have any formidable momentum.
It was like a fluttering snowflake, gentle with a hint of calmness neither quick nor slow. If the Godslayer Team focused all their attention on it, they likely wouldn’t give it another glance; this little droplet was truly too inconspicuous.
"Can this thing really fly over, being so slow...?"
This raised doubts among some.
It’s important to note that they are now in the vastness of space, having been sparring with the Emperor for so long, but in reality, the distance between them is at least over a million kilometers.
The sluggish appearance of the droplet made people doubt whether it could really approach.
The Emperor was busy dealing with the Third Fleet, whether unaware of this anomaly or the droplet naturally possesses an ability to hide its aura, it simply went unnoticed.
"Eh? Wait a moment, where’s the water droplet?"
The Godslayer Team had been watching the droplet, yet suddenly, they collectively froze for a moment, because they suddenly felt disoriented, and the droplet, which had been floating in front of them, was suddenly gone.
Li Xiang was equally surprised that the droplet had inexplicably disappeared; he glanced around in puzzlement but didn’t see its trace.
At this moment, a twin-tailed girl suddenly pointed at the distant Emperor, exclaiming:
"Look quickly! There it is!"
Everyone immediately looked in that direction and then, after a careful search, they finally saw the vanished droplet.
"How did it get over there?"
They were puzzled, just now everyone was focused on it, not relaxing for a moment, yet the droplet vanished right under their noses, and when it reappeared, it was already near the Emperor.
"Could it be that this thing is really some kind of treasure...?"
Despite their disbelief, the droplet’s displayed otherworldliness started to shake their initial thoughts.
"So... what does this droplet do? Why is it so mysterious? Are you sure it can really affect that monster?"
Someone quietly asked Li Xiang, their attitude subtly improving from before.
Li Xiang admitted he was equally bewildered, not knowing what the thing’s purpose was. It had been given to him by Su Changqing, to be used as a trump card, but as for what it specifically did, he could only wait and find out.
"Perhaps it seals something inside?"
Li Xiang speculated.
He recalled the moment he first got the droplet, when an ephemeral image flashed by, showing a twisted face in agony, but the image disappeared so quickly, he couldn’t see it clearly, only making a rough guess.
The Godslayer Team, seeing that he didn’t know either, became even more curious.
Now, it seemed the Emperor noticed the droplet flying toward it and attacked it as though it was a significant threat.
A thick, crimson spiritual power beam instantly engulfed the droplet, causing everyone to gasp.
Extraordinary level means were truly terrifying; if it used such a move when fighting them, they probably would’ve suffered severe casualties already, and it demonstrated that the opponent hadn’t taken their fight seriously at all.
"It’s a Divine Domain, the strength... that kind of attack, we can’t block it..."
The woman who previously advised Lili spoke with a serious face:
"I fear only Black Soul here can withstand such an attack. Without a Divine Domain to counter it, we simply can’t defeat it..."
Seeing this, everyone’s hopes dimmed.
An attack with a Divine Domain was incredibly frightening; the droplet, though seeming mystical, probably couldn’t survive under such level of attack.
Li Xiang was the only one still holding onto hope. He knew the item was given to him by Su Changqing, and as his good brother and the Inspector of the organization, Su Changqing couldn’t possibly not know what an Extraordinary Level meant. If he handed the droplet to him as a trump card now, it meant its energy far exceeded his imagination.
Indeed, as the massive crimson energy beam dissipated, they were astonished to find the droplet still there, not vanished under the attack but steadfastly approaching the monster.
The people of the Third Fleet also breathed a sigh of relief; the monster’s assault almost crippled them, their strength far from enough to counter such a powerful opponent, if not for the Emperor just awakening and not using full force, they probably would’ve been destroyed.
"That was the Commander, was it his intervention that stopped all this...?"
Chu He observed the scene through holographic images, saw Li Xiang standing with the Godslayer Team, and knew the monster’s sudden shift in attack target surely related to him.
"Indeed, the Commander must have a trump card, but how effective it will be remains to be seen..."
He promptly ordered the Third Fleet to strike back.
