Chapter 182 The Goddess Takes Action
Chapter 182
In a space that shines brightly with golden light and seems like an unreal dream, light and shadows interweave, and it is so glorious that it seems like the coming of the kingdom of God.
In the center of this dreamy space, a sky with golden light flowing through it is quietly suspended, like the core of the order of heaven and earth, shining brightly, sacred and inviolable.
Every slight sway of it seems to affect the rhythm of the entire space, heavy and solemn.
At this moment, Lin En was sitting cross-legged not far from the scale.
His whole body was still covered in a light green glow, which was like the sprouts of spring trees, carrying the rhythm of vitality and spirituality.
But this green light has begun to fade and dissipate slowly.
The spiritual rain mist on his body, which was as lingering as smoke and as sticky as fog, was also dissipating little by little and returning to formlessness again.
The air seemed to become clearer and the mind became more peaceful.
Lynn slowly opened her eyes.
Those were a pair of eyes with a hint of confusion, but they were soon replaced by clarity.
The fluctuations of his spirit have now stabilized. Obviously, his practice and breakthrough have come to a successful conclusion.
Qi stood aside, his expression solemn and his eyes as sharp as knives.
He stared at Lynn with a deep gaze, his eyes flickering with thought and scrutiny.
"What on earth did this kid... do?" Qi thought to himself.
He was almost certain that Lin En had tampered with the Blue Sky Spirit, or in other words, completed some kind of indescribable "exchange" or "fusion".
Otherwise, why would the mysterious blue sky spirit be willing to give all the power of faith back to Lin En instead of using it to repair itself?
This behavior completely goes against its instinct.
"Could it be..." Qi frowned and was about to ask, when suddenly...
Boom! A terrifying aura that seemed to come from the distant starry sky suddenly descended! His mind was shaken violently, and an extreme sense of oppression rushed straight into the depths of his soul, as if his heart was being grasped by an invisible giant hand.
It was a gaze, a divine eye that descended from the unknown sky, full of pressure and indifference.
It was as hot as the sun and as cold as the moon. It penetrated the space and laws and locked directly onto their location!
"Is this... a god spying on me!?"
Qi's expression suddenly changed, and a rare look of horror and uneasiness appeared in his eyes.
Normally, Qi always had a calm and composed expression, and this was the first time he looked uneasy.
Under the suppression of this breath, the entire dream space began to vibrate and hum, like a spirit ship that was about to sink, in danger of collapsing and disintegrating at any time!
The roar was like thunder and waves, the void seemed to be torn apart, and the four walls of space kept twisting and collapsing.
Qi's eyes were grim and his expression was no longer calm.
The next moment, he swung his long sleeves, stepped like thunder, and pointed his finger at the central balance of the dream space!
The golden balance shook violently, emitting a dazzling golden glow, like the last barrier of self-protection of the divine realm, stabilizing the surrounding illusions.
For a moment, the vibration of the dream space seemed to ease a little, and the collapse of the four walls also temporarily stopped.
But this is only temporary!
A few breaths later, the mysterious pressure from the sky returned, like a rolling tide, pressing down forcefully.
Even with the balance guarding it, the space still began to crackle and cracks appeared!
"Use the full power of the Azure Sky Spirit!"
Qi shouted sternly, his voice like thunder, directly shaking Lin En's mind! Lin En was slightly stunned, obviously not yet fully awake from the tranquility of the breakthrough.
But he could tell that Qi's expression was no joke, and he could hear the seriousness and urgency in his words.
Without any hesitation, Lin En immediately mobilized the connection with the spirit of the blue sky in his body, communicated with the spirit of the maple tree, and his thoughts went straight to the depths of the spirit of the blue sky! Buzz! With a low and ancient vibration, a crystal clear blue crystal suddenly flashed in front of Lin En!
A dazzling green light burst out from it, like a river flowing back from the sky, like the first sound of spring thunder!
The dream space changes again!
The golden light was still spreading above the scale, while the layer of green fluctuations was like a rising sky, scattering thousands of green rays, protecting the entire space.
One gold and one green, double barrier!
They complement each other, as vast and boundless as two layers of the sky! "This is... a test from the Goddess of the Demonic Net."
Qi exhaled slowly, his voice low, his eyes rarely revealing a trace of solemnity.
He waved his long sleeves lightly, and a ray of obscure light escaped from his fingertips, followed by a distortion in the sky of the dream space.
The next moment, a strange illusion appeared on the sky curtain.
At the end of the void, higher up in the Seven Star Temple, a pair of eyes quietly emerged from the swirling clouds: they were a pair of breathtakingly beautiful eyes.
Her eyes were as dark as ink, yet as deep as the sea of stars. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, as if with a blink, everything in the world would dim.
The mere appearance of this pair of eyes is enough to make one's soul tremble and one's heart sway.
Lin En's heart tightened, and those eyes seemed to penetrate the limitations of space and project directly into the depths of his soul.
What was even more terrifying was that he began to have wild imaginations: he seemed to see a graceful and elegant lady walking on the clouds.
It was a goddess-like existence, dressed in ethereal divine clothes. Her entire appearance could not be seen clearly due to the mist, but she was so beautiful that it seemed unreal, as pure as the morning light and as tranquil as a moonlit night.
She was looking at him with those irresistibly beautiful eyes.
A gentle and mysterious emotion spread in his heart, like a tide engulfing him whole.
He was shaken.
He had been drawn in without even realizing it.
However, at this moment, Qi's voice suddenly rang in his ears like thunder: "Don't be confused!"
This wake-up call was like a cold blast of ice, suddenly pulling him back to reality from his hazy fantasy.
Lynn's body shook, and his face suddenly turned pale, as if he had just woken up from a deep dream of the gods.
He suddenly realized that his heart, which had been as calm as still water, had been quietly invaded by divine will.
He quickly focused his mind and looked inward, and saw that in his spiritual realm, the first-level permanent witchcraft mark was continuously releasing energy factors, slowly repairing the torn state of "emptiness and tranquility".
At this moment, he understood.
Just now, my defense was breached unconsciously.
If Qi had not reminded him, he would have been immersed in the illusion and unable to extricate himself, and even been influenced by the gods without knowing it.
“I can’t passively defend…” Lin En took a deep breath and his expression became extremely solemn.
He immediately mobilized his mental strength and activated the "Being Void and Keeping Tranquility" technique into full operation.
In his spiritual realm, a faint silver light curtain quickly took shape, like moonlight, building an indestructible barrier for his soul.
Raising his head again, he looked directly into the eyes of the illusion.
This time, the charming beauty still existed, but under the protection of emptiness and tranquility, he saw deeper and farther.
He no longer just felt the beauty, but saw the vast and unspeakable great will hidden behind those eyes!
It is a force that cannot be desecrated or resisted.
It never roars, but it has the majesty to silence the universe; it never takes action, but it makes the mind and spirit naturally submit.
That is the power of the existence of "God"!
Lin En couldn't help but gasp. Even though he was already a second-level wizard with spiritual power far exceeding that of ordinary people, he still almost got lost under that gaze, like an ant looking up at the stars.
"This... this is just a projection of her clone..." He was shocked.
If the deity came, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the slightest power to resist! At this moment, he finally understood what the legendary "unsightly" and "unspeakable" might of the ancient gods looked like.
For Lin En, what is the difference between the Goddess of the Demon Net and those ancient gods?
"This power... is too terrifying..."
Qi looked at the gradually fading illusion, his expression more solemn than ever before, and his voice trembled with a hint of difficulty in concealing.
"I'm afraid the Demonic Net Goddess... has completely revived!"
He spoke slowly, his eyes penetrating the afterglow of the golden light and illusion, "This power has already touched the limit of a fifth-level wizard, and may even have entered the sixth level!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand and a layer of flowing light shield emerged, completely wrapping Lin En.
Qi looked deep and frowned:
"She refuses to give up... We can't escape rashly now. We can only retreat back to the war fortress where you are. From now on, we have to rely on those wizards."
Although his tone was calm, it could not conceal a hint of uneasiness and urgency.
The sudden appearance of the Demon Net Goddess was a change he had never expected.
According to his deduction, the goddess's seven-star artifact has just revived the first star, and it will take a long time before it can truly revive.
The six stars have not yet awakened, so their divine power should not be so strong.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But the facts broke all his judgment.
The goddess of the magic net had awakened silently! What was even more terrifying was that she had no intention of hiding, but actively tracked them down in the form of a clone, without concealing her god-like will, and pointed directly at Lin En and the others.
It was impossible for him to send Lin En to the wizard realm as he did before and then return to the goddess's territory to look for the next hunting target.
Otherwise, the moment he appeared in the goddess' territory, he would be discovered by the goddess of the magic net and bear the terrible power of the main god's incarnation.
Now, Qi can only return to the wizards' territory with Lin En to take shelter for a while.
Lin En was slightly shocked when he heard this.
It's not that he doesn't understand Qi's intention: to use the power of the wizard camp to resist that sacred gaze.
However, this also means.
They want to direct that terrifying divine will onto the battlefield!
“If we do this…” Lin En’s eyes flashed with hesitation, “Wouldn’t it be the same as… drawing the attention of the gods away, affecting the entire war zone?”
Under this terrifying gaze, Lin En had no doubt that the entire battlefield would fall into ruin.
Gods are terrifying creatures of another level, and they are not something that weak creatures like Morning Star Wizards can look directly at.
This move was for self-protection. Of course, Lin En would not lose her chastity and stop Qi.
If he and Qi were caught up by that gaze, the gods could wipe them out from the world in a single thought, leaving no trace behind.
However, he still had doubts: "But, over there... can they really stop it? That battlefield is only a part of the forces in the Eastern Theater..."
His voice was low and his brows were furrowed.
A ray of divine power from the goddess almost shattered the dream space. If she really came, who could stop her?
"Don't underestimate those scary wizards."
Qi uttered these words softly.
"Someone will...stop her."
When Lin En heard this, his heart couldn't help but move. Could it be that there was an even more terrifying existence watching that battle?
The wind was howling and the space was shaking.
The golden light is as bright as the sun, and the green light is as clear as the flowing moonlight.
The light of the scales and the spirit of the blue sky complement each other, forming two ripple-like protective barriers in the void.
It was as if two curtains of heaven slowly opened, carrying Lin En and Qi slowly to the distant battlefield with an invisible force.
And at the other end of the distant void, the goddess's gaze, seemingly unreal and real, is still on the way of pursuit.
At the same time, on another battlefield far away.
The sky was surging, and the sea of clouds was folded. Two figures stood quietly above the nine heavens, their feet on the void, as if they were at the gate of heaven.
Amidst the changing circumstances, they overlooked the raging battle below from a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
One of them was wearing heavy alchemical armor, and his body was shrouded in the mechanical aura of constantly deforming metal components. He was the mechanical puppet wizard Angus; the other one was wearing a dark blue robe with countless ancient divine patterns engraved on it, and holding a crystal blue and white round bead in his hand. He was the wizard Linger who controlled the magic net artifact.
At this moment, neither of the two top warriors made a move. Instead, they stood high in the sky like two silent mountains, watching coldly the head-on confrontation between the army of wizards and the army of goddesses below.
Above the ground, ten battlefields were scattered like stars in a maze, with torrents of spells, roars of divine weapons, and waves of elemental collapse rising and falling.
Thanks to the comprehensive victory of War Fortress No. 13, a large number of wizard legions came to the rescue in time, causing the entire front line to tilt.
Now, among the ten major battlefields, wizards have gained the upper hand in seven, and only three are still suppressed by the goddess.
Angus glanced at Master Ling not far away, his eyes as deep as iron.
The corners of his eyes twitched, and the sarcasm on his extremely shrewd face could not be concealed.
That old guy...still looked calm and composed.
Ling'er's eyes were always on the blue and white round bead in his hand, his expression was solemn but calm.
That round bead is one of the seven-star artifacts of the Goddess of the Demon Net. It contains amazing divine power, but at this moment it is as quiet as sleeping, with only a faint light flickering on it.
The prelude to the war has already begun.
The goddess' army's first full-scale charge was clearly suppressed by the wizards.
Several ninth-level mages died one after another, and the operation of the artifacts also stagnated.
What is even more surprising is that Master Bed, who was supposed to take action at the critical moment, actually left at the critical moment, leaving behind only one explanation: the temple was damaged and he had to personally protect the source of the artifact.
Ling Ge looked at the energy torrents that kept clashing below him, feeling that things were out of control. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and murmured in a low voice:
“…Should I…”
The blue and white stars in his palm quietly began to ripple in a strange way, flowing like a galaxy, and between flickering, it seemed as if a will was awakening.
But at the moment this thought came to mind, the round bead suddenly lit up! The blue-white light fell like a divine domain, instantly illuminating the space of dozens of meters around him. The light was clear and cold, containing a sense of oppression that was almost like the arrival of a god.
Angus's eyes fixed in the distance, and the next moment his body shook, and a layer of shield appeared on his body, as if it was made up of countless mechanical arms.
Powerful witchcraft fluctuations burst out from his body, as if he was ready to intervene at any time.
"Is he going to use the divine weapon?" Angus' heart sank.
But then, his eyes, as sharp as radar, caught something unusual.
Master Lingge's expression did not seem calm.
On the contrary, at that moment, a look of surprise and shock flashed across his brows.
...He's not in control.
That magical weapon was not under his control at all at this moment!
Angus' heart tightened, and a premonition of extreme danger quietly rose.
The divine fluctuations in the orb were clear and strong, echoing with a will that made the wizard instinctively feel uneasy.
"Besides Lingge, who else can affect the operation of the artifact?!"
The answer came to mind almost without a doubt:
The Demon Net Goddess herself.
Angus's brows twitched suddenly, and a chill ran down his spine.
Could it be that she personally took action? But according to the intelligence, the goddess of the magic net could not be revived.
From the change in the face of the Ringer Mage on the opposite side, it can be seen that even the big shots on the side of the goddess do not know the situation of the magic net goddess...
