The Stitched-together "Katis" is stalling for time, racing against the clock to continue his recovery, hoping to return to the Saint stage as soon as possible.
What about Ning Feng?
Is it all just arrogant provocation and empty talk that's wasting time?
Did he really not notice anything at all?
No.
From the very beginning, Ning Feng was able to sense the other party's condition.
In fact, Ning Feng understood "Katis's" condition much earlier than Sophie and the others; he hadn't missed anything about the other party from the very beginning.
Although the other party appeared calm and collected on the surface, looking down at him with an air of superiority, his "eyes" could clearly see what the other party's true state was.
Not exposing her wasn't out of arrogance or a desire to challenge her at her peak...
The reason is simple: Ning Feng cannot do it.
The will is there, but the strength is insufficient!
Because Ning Feng was also stalling for time.
His appearance was magnificent and powerful, as he pierced the sky and fell from the heavens.
He is indeed handsome, but he paid a price for it.
Showing off comes at a price.
Moreover, the cost is usually very high.
The barriers in the various war zones that were originally easy to pass through under the legendary level were exceptionally tough for Ning Feng!
Rejection!
The barrier was resisting Ning Feng's entry with all its might, as if in its perception he was not just an awakened being who was not even a legend.
After Ning Feng incorporated divinity into himself, his status seemed to change.
His actual strength was not quite at the legendary level, but his status seemed to have surpassed that of a legend and reached the level of a saint, or even above that.
This is how Ariana explained Ning Feng's perspective:
Strictly speaking, you can't be considered a person right now.
Ah, I'm not referring to your race, but rather your current state.
[Neither human nor god, you might now be... a demigod?]
Demigod.
It is not a new rank above sainthood, but a special state.
It exists in an intermediate state between humans and gods, neither human nor god.
Generally speaking, demigods are more powerful than legendaries, but not necessarily more powerful than saints.
Any legend or saint is qualified to transform into a demigod, without even needing a specific divine office or divinity, as long as he can obtain a divine spark sufficient for him to digest and master.
Then the transformation will begin automatically, from human to deity.
Becoming a demigod is actually the first step in the orthodox belief system of deification.
Next, he would cultivate his own followers and establish his own demigod church.
Then, over a long period of time, they acquire divine authority and accumulate divinity through various means.
Of course, this step can be done simultaneously with becoming a demigod, or even ahead of time.
It's just that many who attempted to achieve godhood lacked the ability to do so ahead of time.
However, Ning Feng seemed somewhat different at this moment.
Even the most knowledgeable primordial demons weren't entirely certain about Ning Feng's condition and could only analyze and deduce it based on normal circumstances:
[No, that's not quite right. You could probably be considered an "incomplete demigod" now, right?]
Ning Feng's strength is not legendary, and he has a greater advantage than those native deities. He currently possesses a small but not insignificant amount of divinity.
Ning Feng was not affected by divinity; he was the master of divinity!
[Possessing divinity, yet holding no divine office, wielding no authority but able to control the divinity within... In the past, the gods would certainly be extremely interested in you!]
If Ning Feng had appeared in the past, this situation would definitely have occurred.
Ning Feng's only deficiency right now is his own strength. If he truly reaches that level, he will be able to leap to the level of a demigod, rather than a legend.
If the gods can figure out Ning Feng's abilities, it will be an epoch-making discovery, allowing the gods to integrate more divinity and thus gain greater power!
Ning Feng's secret is the key for them to step into a higher realm.
When Ning Feng was stopped by the barrier once again, Ariana asked:
Although your answer will probably not surprise me, I'll ask again.
As Ariana spoke, she gazed at Ning Feng, whose face had been grim in front of the barrier:
[Do you really have to go? If you force your way through, your strength will be greatly weakened, and you may even lose the ability to protect others for a short period of time.]
How much value can a person who has lost their power have on the battlefield?
[You know perfectly well that it's unnecessary, don't you? Deep down, you don't believe that humanity would be completely unaware of the supernatural beings' schemes; you must have a backup plan.]
Are humans truly unaware of what happened in the First War Zone?
Did the Overwatch Club really have no backup plan at all, just waiting for you to make a dazzling appearance and turn the tide?
Not to mention Ning Feng, even Ariana, who had little contact with the Watchers, didn't believe it!
Don't you old codgers in the Overwatch Club have any idea about your own behavior all along?
You can fool yourself, but you can't fool a cat!
Even supernatural beings wouldn't believe it!
"There's no need to keep confirming my thoughts; they won't change."
"It's not about what I should do, but what I should do."
"...Is that so? I knew it! You really are a weirdo~"
Upon hearing the answer, Ariana smiled and took a deep breath as if savoring the moment.
[Let me tell you a secret: you're a freak, and coincidentally... I'm a freak too.]
Smiling happily, she placed her hand on Ning Feng's chest.
