"Please, Your Majesty, set the test questions."
The two women exchanged a glance without saying a word, and then spoke in unison.
An invisible spark collided in the air.
Although it's only a matter of a year's difference, it represents a matter of face for both sides.
"Hmm... then let's settle this with the most common, fairest, and simplest method in my hometown: 'rock, paper, scissors'."
Jiang Yan smiled and passed on the rules to the two of them.
"no problem!"
A smile appeared on both women's faces at the same time.
"bring it on."
Annalia stepped forward with full confidence.
Her most proficient divine magic is the Great Prophecy. In a moment, she will directly control her opponent, making her choose scissors, and then she will choose rock herself, guaranteeing a victory!
As expected, the Holy Lord is biased towards me.
"Tch, don't cry if you lose." Sheena was equally confident.
As a top-notch archer, her ability to observe micro-expressions and her concentration far surpass that of ordinary people. She could tell at a glance that her opponent wanted to play a stone, and she was sure to win!
As expected, the Emperor is biased towards me.
"Ready to begin."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Stone."
Sheena raised her right hand.
Analia took out the Holy Scripture, and a golden magic circle appeared beneath her feet.
"Scissors."
Sheena realized something was wrong and the bow and arrow fell into her hand.
The Great Prophecy was complete, and Analia quickly spoke: "Evil undead, you will play scissors!"
"cloth."
A fair, delicate fist met a slender pair of scissors.
The outcome is decided.
"I won!"
"You cheated!" Sheena exclaimed angrily as she broke free from the Great Prophecy spell.
Damn it, she never expected that this jerk was completely brainless.
They actually used their abilities right in front of the Emperor!
Jiang Yan was speechless for a moment, after all, he hadn't said beforehand that he couldn't use his abilities.
"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."
Analia gave a proud hum, her snow-white wings fluttering joyfully.
"You treacherous birdman!" Sheena said bitterly.
"You bunch of weaklings only know how to parrot others. Every single one of your creations is a resource I painstakingly acquired, and now you're resorting to underhanded tactics."
“It’s your honor,” Analia said matter-of-factly.
The dead are merely forces that the Holy Lord took in out of pity; how could they possibly have the right to contend with the orthodoxy of Heaven?
"you!"
Seeing the serious-looking six-winged angel, Sheena was both amused and exasperated.
No wonder the Holy Light beings rank second on the list of the most unpopular beings in all the worlds; these angels are at least 90% responsible.
According to some unofficial historical account, an archangel, while observing fate, unexpectedly discovered that hundreds of years ago, a goblin passed by the statue of the Holy Lord of Light without kneeling in worship. So he personally resurrected the goblin, which had turned to ashes, and forced it to admit its mistake and correct it before he was satisfied and turned it back to ashes.
"Ahem, it's my fault for not explaining the rules beforehand," Jiang Yan said helplessly, trying to smooth things over.
"Never mind, Your Majesty, I know your heart is with me, that's enough." Sheena shook her head gently, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you another chance next time."
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him, "Besides, I can also further improve your abilities."
With a thought, the awakened talent locked onto Sheena's skills.
[Ding! Ultimate Ascension successfully activated.]
[The curse seal has been upgraded to a life-sustaining curse seal, capable of permanently controlling non-special types of life forms. Its current maximum level is mid-level god, and its quantity is positively correlated with soul strength.]
[Life-giving dedication is elevated to primordial dedication, no longer limited to living beings, but able to continuously draw energy from the void to replenish itself.]
The remaining two abilities, Extreme Demon Arrow Technique and Dark Domain, have the same names, but their power has far surpassed what it was before.
"The Emperor is becoming more and more unfathomable."
Feeling her power grow stronger once again, Sheena couldn't help but grip the longbow in her hand, a look of eager anticipation on her face.
"Give it a try," Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll go, Your Majesty."
Sheena turned and left with light steps, and as she passed Annalia, she couldn't help but turn her head and snort coldly.
"whispering sound."
In a great mood, Annalia didn't bother to argue and happily ran up to Jiang Yan:
"Holy Lord, thank you for giving Anna this opportunity."
"This is what you deserve. Are you ready?"
"certainly!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan connected with the power deep within his soul, and a mysterious power that transcended the evolution of laws suddenly descended.
Transcendence!
The abyss-like river of laws once again crossed space, surrounded by endless holy light, and Annalia's entire body slowly floated up.
It's like ascending to heaven in mythology.
An overwhelming pressure, far exceeding that of before, spread out, and the entire void seemed to be suppressed, with faint cracks appearing.
Three hours later.
The power of the Holy Light Law gradually faded.
The six-winged angel in the void slowly opened its eyes, and a dazzling divine light pierced through the heavily forged hall, shooting straight into the sky.
The originally snow-white wings were now tinged with a faint golden halo, making them look sacred and solemn.
But at that moment, she seemed to suddenly come to her senses.
A hint of panic flashed across her cool face as she hurriedly walked to Jiang Yan and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, Holy Lord, Anna couldn't control her power and broke your temple."
"It's alright, we can just have the dwarf team work overtime to fix it later."
Jiang Yan smiled and asked, "How does it feel?"
"I feel like... even if the number one ranked Seraph descends, I would still have a fighting chance."
Annalia exclaimed joyfully, "This time I'm sure I can protect you, Holy Lord!"
"Hmm...I believe you." Jiang Yan reached out and gently patted the other person's head, then looked at them intently.
【Annalia】
Rank: Unique.
Divine Position: Master of Heavenly Divine Arts, Seraphim (Activated).
Rank: Lower God.
The Law of Control: The Law of Holy Light.
Faith Level: Blind.
Skills: Divine Punishment, Words Become Law, Gates of Heaven, Holy Light Divine Arts.
Overall score: 2.99 million.
2.99 million!
The effect of transcendence far exceeded Jiang Yan's expectations.
The Seraphim, who was originally at the bottom of the lower-level god realm, should have had a score of around 1.5 million. This is twice as high.
In terms of actual combat power improvement, it has probably increased by more than 3 to 4 times.
And the skills seem to have changed as well.
Jiang Yan tried to enhance the skill again using his talent, but found that the same skill could not be enhanced twice.
"It seems that when one transcends, one's skills are also elevated along with them."
Jiang Yan looked over curiously.
Divine Punishment: It can fuse multiple holy light-based divine spells. The more spells fused, the stronger the power, with an upper limit comparable to the Supreme Strike.
Words become law: A spell from a supreme myth, the ultimate advanced version of the Great Prophecy, requiring no prerequisites or incantations, and its effects depend on the difference in strength between the two parties.
Wow! This really is an ability tailor-made for Anna.
She was originally a divine angel, possessing the most holy light-based divine spells besides those of the Holy Lord and the Archangel.
Jiang Yan could already imagine the scenes of the battle that would follow.
First, use spells to control the opponent, then start stacking Holy Light spells.
One strike of Buddha's Wrath... oh no, it's one strike of Divine Punishment, which directly ended the battlefield.
"It seems it's time to explore these long-forgotten ruins."
Jiang Yan took out an exquisite compass and fell into deep thought.
