Chapter 443 - - 428 Solar God Strength Test_1
—————✧✧✧✧—————
The slumbering Solar God floated within the Solar God Temple atop the mountain.
A thin mist obscured his robust body, the haze moving rhythmically with his breaths.
Through the mist, one could make out the Solar God’s visage; he appeared no older than in his twenties, his features as if sculpted by an artisan, unmatched in his handsomeness.
The body of the Solar God emitted a pale golden glow, the light raising the temperature around him. He was like an energy being—though in peaceful slumber, Duge could still sense the immense power radiating from him.
This power was far stronger than when Duge had held the Sea God’s Staff.
What about Phyra and Miller sharing the Divine Power of the Solar God?
When Duge actually saw the Solar God, he understood that the rumor was nothing but a joke.
After showing Duge the Solar God,
everyone left the Solar God Temple.
Duge was always cautious; after seeing the Solar God, he wouldn’t rush up and use the Seven-Hole Touch on him without understanding the situation first.
This was his first time facing a God Spirit face-to-face.
The time he shared the Sea God’s Power with Jannie in the simulation arena didn’t count, since the Sea God had already fallen by then.
But back then, just using the Sea God Scepter nearly cost him his life. Without the skills of a master slacker, he would have been eliminated.
This God Spirit was alive, and he looked very powerful.
Most crucially, the skills Duge had for this situation were somewhat weak: Sea God’s Power, Love remains though life ended, People’s Protection, Impartiality, and a bunch of messy magic…
Apart from the Sea God’s Power, he really didn’t have any useful skills.
“King Holley, that is the Solar God. He could squash us as if we were ants. Are you really confident?” Reilir looked back toward the direction of the Solar God Temple, his voice filled with reverence and as low as an ant’s.
We’re so far away already, what are you being scared about!
Duge looked at him disdainfully and asked, “What abilities does the Solar God have?”
Miller looked at Duge strangely and said, “You’re also a Sea God—don’t you know the abilities of a God Spirit? A God Spirit uses Divine Power, and every casual move is a Divine Skill.”
Duge remembered how he used the Sea God’s Power; it was without any skills.
When using offensive tactics, it entirely depended on his control over water—simply put, it was instinctive combat.
In the end, it all comes down to Divine Power, right?
The Solar God, who knows how many tens of thousands of years he had lived, had left behind the Holy Pool that elevated his Divine Power by a rank.
Could the spiritual power he had amassed in the Alien Battlefield compete with him?
A sudden lack of confidence gripped Duge’s heart, and he ventured, “Is it possible to move him to the sea without waking him up?”
“King Holley, the Solar God is asleep, not dead,” Averill said. “We can walk up to him, but the moment we touch him, he’ll awaken.”
“In order not to disturb him, the Solar God Temple has always been off-limits in the entire Bordeluna, except for us; no one else can approach that place,” Reilir said.
At that moment, Duge suddenly missed Dan Cong’s characters.
Characters like “bound,” “weak,” “hollow” >-stick a few on him, and even the mightiest gods would have to do his bidding!
Duge looked toward Nobb.
Nobb shook his head: “I can’t borrow any skills from the Solar God, but I feel my attributes soaring by a lot.”
It had been normal for Nobb not to be able to borrow the Sea God’s Power; it made sense he couldn’t borrow the Solar God’s Divine Power either.
The attribute increase was due to his second skill Borrowing Power; the stronger the target he was attached to, the stronger his attributes would become.
“Approximately how much did it increase?” Duge’s eyes lit up as he asked.
Unable to verify the nature of the Solar Divine Power through Nobb’s Dragon and Phoenix Attachment, they could still use Nobb’s second skill.
Calculate the difference between him and the Solar God!
Every time Nobb changed an attachment target, his attributes would reset. First, attach to the Solar God, then to Duge, and it should be easy to figure out the gap between the two.
Knowing the difference between himself and the Solar God would make the rest easier.
The unknown is always the most terrifying.
Duge said, “Attributes start with strength; use Miller here as a reference.” With that, he turned to Miller, “You cooperate with him a little, resist his strength with all your might.”
Miller was puzzled.
Nobb understood Duge's intention and reached out to push Miller.
Miller only felt an immense force emanating from Nobb's body, and before he could resist, he was already pushed by Nobb's full force a dozen steps away.
Miller walked back and looked at him in surprise, "How do you have such great strength?"
"He wasn't on guard just now, let's try again," Duge said. "Miller, use all your strength to defend."
Miller nodded and steadied his stance once more.
Nobb exerted force again.
An overwhelming force surged from Nobb's hand, and Miller was once again propelled through the air, but this time he only retreated three steps.
Nobb's own attributes were too low; even with the enhancement from the Solar God, his strength was still not very high.
If Duge were to use his skill, channeling the Solar God, he could send Miller flying with a single slap.
But this was already quite terrifying.
Miller is a Fighting Angel, one of the standout among the twelve six-winged Angels. Without using any skills, with Nobb's current attributes, he could push all day and still not likely move Miller an inch.
Miller walked back again, and this time, he looked at Nobb with a lot more caution in his eyes.
He didn't know Nobb's skills, but the fact that Nobb could push him back without using his Martial Spirit was enough to earn him the title of super warrior in the Mortal Realm, a respect due to the strong.
"Cut to me and try," Duge said.
Nobb nodded, switched his attachment target to Duge, and then, once again pushed towards Miller.
This time, Miller only stepped back one step before stopping, his face full of confusion, seemingly unsure why Nobb's strength had diminished again.
"A fivefold difference," Duge observed the distance that Miller retreated and provided the answer.
"What fivefold difference?" Phyra asked.
"The difference in power between me and the Solar God is fivefold," Duge said, which was no secret; after all, the gap between him and the Solar God was apparent at a glance.
However, he still explained, "This isn't my home turf, and I have only held the title of Sea God for a short while. If I were in the ocean, fighting the Solar God, the gap could probably be shortened to around threefold."
"The Solar God and the Sea God are both higher tier deities. How did you defeat the Sea God when your divine power is fivefold lesser?" Temel, the Angel of Wisdom, asked.
He was responsible for the teaching and enlightenment of the Angels, a talent with multiple capabilities.
Since being subdued by Duge, he had remained silent, except for the time when Duge caught him in repentance, and this was his first time speaking since then.
"Ambush," Duge said. "Moreover, at that time, the Sea God was already eroded by the Evil God, and his divine power had sharply decreased."
"So you defeated the Sea God by ambushing him, and now you want to kill an undefeated Solar God? If you want to die that's fine, but don't drag us down with you!" Averill complained sharply, "Then why don't you let him continue to sleep? Letting him continue to sleep doesn't affect your role as Divine King. Your Sea God's power, combined with ours, is enough to subdue all the Acquired Deities..."
"Averill, nobody wants a sword constantly hanging over their head," Duge said. "Should we wait for them to wake up and let them decide our fate? Over the years, haven't you also been constantly worried about the Solar God awakening? I certainly don't want to live like that..."
"But with such a huge gap between you, how could you possibly kill the Solar God?" Reilir frowned.
Having followed Duge closely, he naturally knew that there was no such thing as killing the Sea God; it was all a ruse by Duge. But the fact that Duge had achieved a power only five times lesser than that of the Solar God in a short period was equally astonishing to him.
Gazing at Duge, he ventured, "King Holley, why not wait a while longer, until your divine power is on par with the Solar God's before you make your move?"
I wish I could wait, but the other Alien Warriors won't give me the time!
If someone else awakens an Ancient Deity and uses some controlling skill to persuade the Deity to attack him, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
In just over ten days, the rankings will be announced, and his position at the top will definitely make him a target for all.
Others from different stars have likely had enough of him by now, and chances are they won't give him the opportunity to sweep through them again...
Moreover, divine power is tied to spiritual power and the soul, and Duge doesn't have a way to increase his spiritual power in a short time.
The previous method of splitting his soul for suffering's sake no longer increases his spiritual power, and the Holy Pool's refining process for the soul was a one-time benefit---taking another dip in the Holy Pool wouldn't do any good now.
Duge could indeed continue to boost his attributes to improve his constitution, but constitution is at a disadvantage compared to divine power, and there might not be enough time.
After all, entering and leaving the God Realm seems fairly simple---a flight spell or knowing a Divine Envoy or two should suffice.
...
The other Angels didn't understand Duge's past and scorned Reilir's words.
Remiel said, "Reilir, divine power requires accumulation over time, for King Holley to grow to the same level as the Solar God, it would take at least a few thousand years, or perhaps tens of thousands, and don't forget that the Solar God's power also continues to grow with each passing day."
"King Holley is different; you just don't understand him...," Reilir stumbled over his words.✦ ✧ ✦ ✧ ✦
