Chapter 404 - - Can mortals slay gods?_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“… The magic wand is called Dragonchant. It can amplify magic power by fifty percent, attract thirty percent of surrounding elements, and increase the casting speed.”

“The belt is called Frost Moon, personally crafted by the alchemist Master Loka. Its function is also to amplify magic power. When subjected to severe impacts, the inscribed patterns can activate the whirlwind shield…”

“The boots are called Hurricane Boots, also from the hands of Master Loka, with an affinity for the air element. When using the flight spell, they can reduce magic power consumption by fifty percent.”

…

The Duke went through Duge’s equipment one by one, grimacing with each item as he explained. He pondered how he would settle the score and regain his power and freedom from the humiliation Holley had inflicted on him today.

By now, he understood what Holley meant by stripping him bare. It was simply out of fear that he might use these items to fight back.

But he had been implanted with a mental cage and was bound by water currents.

Unable to control his magic power, he was now nothing more than an ordinary man in his sixties.

Holley’s concerns were quite unnecessary…

Yet, when the Duke thought this through, a chill suddenly ran through the depths of his heart. Holley was so meticulous even against an unarmed old man; did he really have a chance for revenge?

Strong power and eloquence, enough strength and shamelessness…

When these qualities were combined in one person, Duke Linqi realized with sudden clarity that he was helpless against Holley. This realization left him deeply frustrated.

He swallowed hard, perhaps only a God Spirit could deal with him!

…

“Duke, what are you thinking about?” Duge asked the spaced-out Great Sorcerer Duke Linqi.

“Nothing.” Duke Linqi forced a conciliatory smile at Duge, “Holley, may I put on some clothes? My magic power is sealed and I’ve been seriously injured. I am feeling very cold and if this continues, I will die in the Rhein River. My death will cause you a lot of trouble on your path to kingship…”

“I was negligent.” Duge apologized with a smile, snapped his fingers, and transported the Great Sorcerer from the Rhein River to the shore. Then, he found a set of ordinary clothes for him from his storage ring.

It must be said.

Having a storage ring is incredibly convenient.

Especially one filled with scrolls. These powerful scrolls could allow him to defeat any formidable opponent even when low on magic power.

Of course.

If he just used some common magic, Duge’s magic power shouldn’t run out. With the speed-amplifying magic equipment of Duke Linqi and the forbidden magic on the scrolls, theoretically, he could also achieve instant casting.

But if he used those large-scale magics too much, who knows, they might deplete his spiritual power!

All in all, who would use their own reserves when they can rely on external forces?

After all, the scrolls weren’t his…

Now what Duge was considering was how to awaken and advance his skills, as well as create a derivative item.

The Admonishment Vine from his last Alien Battlefield was too useful. Without it, perhaps he and his group might have perished at the hands of chaos.

…

Duge returned to the Duke’s mansion with Duke Linqi.

Saima Lynch, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came forward: “Father, you…”

Her voice stopped abruptly, and her smile froze on her face.

There was no need to ask about the outcome; her father’s magic wand and storage ring were now in the hands of that damned Holley.

Duke Linqi looked at his daughter, hesitated to speak, then just gave a profound sigh, “Saima, make preparations. Soon we will have to apologize to Holley at the scaffold.”

“Father, I can help clear this scum’s name, but it will not be on the scaffold,” Saima Lynch glared at Duge angrily.

“Saima, this is the best outcome we could hope for,” Duke Linqi said to Saima with a sigh, “On the way back, I’ve already discussed it with Holley. We’ll pin all the blame on Nelson. It was you who discovered Prince Nelson carousing with a prostitute; in order to break off your arranged marriage to Prince Nelson, you foolishly came up with the plan to frame Holley.

When you learned that Mister Holley was an upright and noble man, your conscience was struck with guilt, and you took the initiative to release Holley from the cell and publicly admitted your mistake to the people. You’re just a seventeen-year-old girl, the people will forgive you…”

“Father.”

Saima Lynch still wanted to argue.

She was silenced with a sharp look from Duke Linqi: “Saima, do as I said, or I will personally take you to the guillotine to atone for your wrongs against Mister Holley.”

The guillotine?

Saima Lynch’s face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Duke Linqi in shock, “Father, what exactly happened?”

Duke Linqi turned his head towards Duge.

Duge shrugged indifferently, “Duke, you can tell her our plan.”

“Saima, come with me.” Duke Linqi glanced at Saima with a grim face and led her to the backyard.

Then.

Duge heard Duke Linqi’s true opinion of him.

“Possessed by an Evil God,” “Only a God Spirit can deal with him,” “Until then, the Duke’s mansion must fully cooperate with him no matter what he does”…

So he harbors malicious intentions!

However.

A God Spirit?

Duke Linqi’s words indeed reminded Duge.

In Holley’s memory, there were God Spirits in this world.

But also in Holley’s memory, these God Spirits hardly ever appeared in the Mortal Realm.

Most of the time, they were asleep, occasionally waking to roam the Mortal Realm, consort with a follower, or deliver some divine messages to their believers.

Most of these divine messages were about the development of The Power of Faith, appearing more as if they were fabricated by the followers of those God Spirits…

But Duge still became alert.

This game was going too smoothly; in just one day’s time, without any awakened skills, he had already defeated the Great Sorcerer…

So, are the real tests these God Spirits?

If the opponents were God Spirits, that would indeed be troublesome…

Duge had no doubt that, to increase entertainment value, Pan-Universe Entertainment would do such a thing.

Perhaps they had already awakened those sleeping God Spirits.

Godslayer?

Was it possible?

In the simulation, Duge had dealt with the Sea God, and he obtained the Sea God’s Power from that simulation arena.

But in that simulation, the Sea God had fallen, and his real enemy was the Sea God Scepter.

At that time.

He couldn’t even handle the Sea God’s daughter who hadn’t inherited the Sea God’s Power. It was by using the company’s skills to turn the Sea God Scepter into his own possession that he won the simulation…

A dead Sea God had nearly killed him, and this world had a systematic array of God Spirits.

MBD!

The difficulty of the game was increasing.

He didn’t know if there was a chance to eliminate the other Alien Warriors from different planets before the God Spirits discovered him, to end the Alien Battlefield and avoid dealing with those God Spirits.

But since Pan-Cosmic Entertainment Company had sent them to a planet with God Spirits and even reduced the battlefield quota to a thousand people, they likely wouldn’t let him exploit this loophole…

If dealing with the God Spirits was inevitable, then the company’s skills might be the only way out.

…

“King Holley, what are you thinking?” Old Gao’s question interrupted Duge’s contemplation.

Just take it one step at a time!

Duge sighed.

He had two keywords; at least four advanced skills could be awakened. Surely it wouldn’t be harder for him to survive than others?

If only The Power of Faith could be brought into the Alien Battlefield.

Duge chuckled, “I’m wondering if mortals could possibly become God Spirits.”

“Mortals becoming gods?” Old Gao was stunned.

“Mortals slaying gods is also an option,” Duge glanced at him and said, “After defeating Duke Linqi, I suddenly felt that life has no goal, I need greater pressure or a goal to grow.”

“King Holley, don’t say such things in the future.” Old Gao looked seriously at Duge, “God Spirits are not to be offended, they’re omniscient. If they were to hear your words, it would bring disaster to us all.”
