Chapter 959 The G.o.d Wars
BB East lay dead, but his body was not forcibly teleported and remained on the ground.
“Yet he died before his military expeditions could succeed, his regret often has those of similar aspirations weep tears of grief….” (TN: Part of Du Fu’s poem called ‘The Chancellor/Prime Minister/Premier of Shu’, or simply ‘Shu Xiang’, referencing Zhuge Liang’s Northern Expeditions which ended in failure despite n.o.ble intentions.)
BB East sighed as he continued to lie on the ground.
…
“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!”
After Carulla defeated BB East, she did not stop her hand. Her full moon scepter shot out four divine lights which also killed Li Yi and the others.
Five top players, all died…
“How do we f*cking defeat that?” The Mountain was annoyed.
Carulla’s divine light was faster than the speed of light, and the damage was higher than tens of billions. It was impossible to survive the damage given the current equipment of the players.
“The G.o.d Wars really is a conspiracy, even if we fight to the end, it is impossible to become a G.o.d.” Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut sighed.
“Wham!”
Five pillars of black lights descended from the sky and struck the five bodies. Instantly, all five were resurrected with full HP.
“What?” Qian’er was surprised.
A shadow emerged from midair, and a ray of black light was shot at Carulla.
“Wham!”
Carulla was knocked back three steps by the black light before being able to stand still.
A black cloak billowed despite the absence of wind. The shadow in midair was the Death G.o.d who guarded the Tower of Remorse!
“Death G.o.d Diablo!” Carulla scoffed.
“Not just him!”
A white ray of holy light shone, and an attractive lady in white robes emerged beside the Death G.o.d.
The Evil G.o.d Elusia!
“You… how did you come back?” Carulla uttered in astonishment.
Carulla was not afraid of Diablo, but Elusia was different.
One must know that this pretty woman was a G.o.d whose strength was comparable to that of the Ruler of G.o.ds in ancient days. Carulla also came from that era and knew precisely the nature of Elusia.
Elusia looked around and did not see her target, “Where’s Omega?” She asked Carulla.
Omega was the Ruler of G.o.ds.
Carulla waved the scepter in her hand and sneered. “Defeat me, and you can see him!”
“What happened? Why did the Death and Evil G.o.ds show up? Whose quest is this?” The Mountain looked around and asked.
“Mine,” Li Yi replied.
After completing the Evil G.o.d Summoning, Elusia had secured a smooth return from the Alternate Dimension. Recently, she had been staying at the Tower of Remorse together with the Death G.o.d.
From Elusia, Li Yi knew everything about Ascension.
Following the hints of the Ascension Quest, one could only become a demiG.o.d in the end. There was only one way to become a True G.o.d, that was when the Ruler of G.o.ds personally bestowed the honor. There was no other way.
The Ruler of G.o.ds would not give out t.i.tles so easily, hence the so-called ‘G.o.d Wars’ was a mere trick by the Pantheon.
The Pantheon Mystery expansion pack mainly told the origin of the G.o.ds. In the game, lucky players would receive the Ascension Quest. As long as they carried on with the quest, they would eventually know where the G.o.ds came from.
Among the five of them, only Li Yi had successfully completed the final task of the Ascension Quest. With his help, the remaining four also learned about the secrets of the G.o.ds.
“Dimensional Authority—Destruction!”
Carulla attacked first. Her full moon scepter drew a stroke in the air and the surrounding s.p.a.ce immediately exploded violently…
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The explosion in the s.p.a.ce struck the Evil and Death G.o.ds, inflicting one billion damage.
“Life Authority—Restoration!”
“Death Authority—Harvest!”
The Evil G.o.d healed their injuries while the Death G.o.d went on a strong offensive and charged at Carulla. He laughed while wielding a giant scythe.
“Woos.h.!.+”
The scythe raked at her but Carulla did not flinch. As the scythe approached her, the full moon scepter flashed and her body turned from solid to transparent, easily evading the scythe.
“The Ruler of G.o.ds’ Staff belongs only to me, Carulla, you do not deserve it. Life Authority—Aging!”
The Evil G.o.d snorted and extended her arms toward Carulla.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, Carulla’s body was rapidly aging.
One of the reasons the Evil G.o.d strength matched the Ruler of G.o.ds was that her attack could be directly applied to the target without having to unleash it.
“Dimensional Authority—Destruction!”
Carulla raised her full moon scepter and pointed at the approaching Death G.o.d.
The Authority came into contact with Death G.o.d. In one blow the latter was shattered into hundreds of millions of tiny pieces.
“Life Authority—Restoration!”
Seeing her friend in danger, the Evil G.o.d immediately released her Authority intending to restore the Death G.o.d’s body.
“In your dreams!” Carulla threw a vivid ray of divine light from her hands and it hit the body fragments of the Death G.o.d.
“Dimensional Authority—Transportation!”
The Death G.o.d completely vanished.
“d.a.m.n!”
The Evil G.o.d was furious and used Aging again to accelerate the aging of Carulla’s body.
“Dimensional Authority—Time Reversal!”
The full moon scepter emanated a vibrant flash, and Carulla’s appearance gradually returned to youth.
The Evil G.o.d and Carulla were well-matched in strength and neither could gain the upper hand at the moment.
“What are we gonna do?” The Mountain asked
“Help her defeat Carulla?” Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut joined the discussion.
“First, no bullying. I dislike fighting an individual person when we have superior numbers.” There was no other wise*ss in their party that would say such things except BB East.
“Don’t help.” Li Yi shook his head. He gripped his Orange Quality Bow firmly and said, “If we have the means, better kill them all.”
“Excuse me?”
“Carulla is not a benevolent figure, neither is the Evil G.o.d. It benefits none of us no matter who wins.”
“But I thought we were revived by the Evil G.o.d?” Qian’er said.
“That was the Dark Resurrection Spell. It won’t take long before we die again.”
The Mountain and the others immediately noticed the peculiar state of their bodies.
Their Attribute Panels each showed a timer, which was the negative effect of the Dark Resurrection Spell. When the number hit zero, death would surely follow.
“Why are the G.o.ds such scheming sons of—” The Mountain felt frustrated.
“All the more reason to overthrow them.” Li Yi smiled.
“G.o.d Mode!”
“Zzzip zzzip!”
“Powered-up Arrow!”
The Spinning Arrow went straight toward Carulla.
Although the Evil G.o.d was not good, it was plain to see that Carulla was even worse.
“Thump!”
A layer of Divine s.h.i.+eld appeared on Carulla’s skin, blocking Li Yi’s attack.
“Wicked mortal! How dare you shoot at G.o.d?”
“What about it? You’re just a bunch of data, not an actual G.o.d? F*ck off!”
Li Yi was truly enraged, and his arrows did not stop.
“Squeak!”
Dolly was a.s.sisting at the side, exhibiting tacit teamwork between the pet and its owner.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, The Mountain, and Qian’er also joined in the fray. All of the attacks were concentrated at one point to break Carulla’s Divine s.h.i.+eld.
“Are you done with your bullsh*t? Knock it off and come here at once!” Li Yi turned his head and yelled.
“Ganging up on one person, shame…” BB East uttered with a long face.
“Hey Cat, do me a favor and pull that little sh*t off his high horse…” Li Yi private messaged The Cat that Sings.
After a dozen seconds, BB East hurried across and joined the battle.
“Beast Soul’s Possession— Lightning Leopard!”
“Divine Thunder Spell!”
The thunder rumbled.
Li Yi held no reservations, and now that the Dark Resurrection Spell was working, and all his skill attacks were doubled!
Thousands of divine thunder rained and pierced her Divine s.h.i.+eld. Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and the others followed up with their own attacks, all of which landed right on Carulla…
Carulla was beaten so hard she was forced to fall on her knees. Nevertheless, she still held on the full moon scepter.
“The Ruler of G.o.ds’ Staff is mine!”
The Evil G.o.d’s eyes lit up and she descended at breakneck speed.
“Divine Thunder Spell!”
“Ancient Fire G.o.d Summoning!”
Li Yi’s divine thunder had not ceased. Qian’er held her staff horizontally and her body ignited in flames. She turned into the Ancient Fire G.o.d with an estimated height of at least forty feet and spurted divine flames at the Evil G.o.d.
“Bang!”
It was only a brief moment before Qian’er returned to her original state and was found sitting on her heels, exhausted.
Qian’er ability to summon the Ancient Fire G.o.d was a reward from her Ascension Quest.
The Evil G.o.d was fixated on the Ruler of G.o.ds’ Staff. She did not notice the sneak attack by Li Yi and the others. As she grabbed hold of the Ruler of G.o.ds’ Staff, Li Yi’s Divine Thunder Spell and Qian’er’s Divine Flame hit her directly in the face.
The chance of winning was almost zero when fighting against a G.o.d, but if it was an ambush, it would be entirely another matter.
The impact forced her to fall on her knees, but she did not release of the Ruler of G.o.ds’ Staff.
“Let go!”
The Evil G.o.d and Carulla screamed at the same time. Neither of them had let go.
Both of them held on to opposite ends of the Ruler of G.o.d’s Staff. They did not look like G.o.ds, instead, they looked like a couple of loudmouths seizing the last bread in a grocery store.
Due to the exhaustion of Divine Power, Li Yi’s Thunder G.o.d appearance started to fade away.
“Are they not dead yet? d.a.m.n!”
“My turn!”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut moved forward in a bizarre way, with both fists held at her waist. She charged toward the Evil G.o.d and unleashed a golden fist.
“G.o.d-killing Fist!”
“Wham!”
With the Divine Power attached to her fists, she smashed more than 50 million worth of HP out of the Evil G.o.d.
“Wham! Wham! Wham!”
The unending golden fists slammed right on the head of the Evil G.o.d. Her pretty face was disfigured, leaving behind with what looked like a swollen pig’s head.
“Wham! Wham! Wham!”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut turned and a.s.saulted Carulla. Since the G.o.ds were evenly matched, one being weaker than the other was not a good thing for Li Yi and the others, so the best way was to deplete their strength at the same time.
Li Yi retreated to catch his breath. When the Beast Soul’s Possession’s cooldown period ended, he immediately transformed into the Six-armed Red Macaque. He then summoned a Water Clone and used Thousand Sword Criss-cross.
Although the Blademaster was not a divine cla.s.s, his seven Sealing Swords, all of which contained Divine Power, made up for that.
“Ffffkrrrrshhzzz—”
The atmosphere was filled with blade auras that surrounded Carulla and the Evil G.o.d. He then launched a sweeping attack.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut only unleashed sixteen G.o.d-killing Fists before turning pale, signifying the exhaustion of her Divine Power.
“Dark G.o.d Shattering!”
“Bam!”
As black air radiated into the atmosphere, the HP of the Evil G.o.d and Carulla suddenly went down by a lot.
The Mountain had summoned and detonated the Dark King imbued with his own Divine Power to a.s.sist in the a.s.sault.
“Ffffkrrrrshhzzz—”
Li Yi’s Thousand Sword Criss-cross continued. With the blessing of the Dark Resurrection Spell and the Water Clone doubling his attacks, the power of his sword skills was greatly increased. At the end of the Thousand Sword Criss-cross, the Evil G.o.d and Carulla fell to the ground as they were left with little HP.
“Impossible…”
“Preposterous…”
Li Yi returned to his original state and stepped forward to seize the Ruler of G.o.ds’ Staff from the hands of the two G.o.ds who no longer had any ability to fight back.
