Chapter 428: Chapter 138
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The God of Fear proved himself to be a great Divine Power, the leader of the alliance of the evil gods, and a strong god who was called the Master of Fear. When he was serious, with a single attack he could seriously injure Sui Xiong's battle avatar, even though that avatar was condensed with a lot of power. The skin of that avatar was almost ninety percent cooked.
More importantly, after that attack, the God of Fear found a huge weakness of Sui Xiong.
Sui Xiong cared about Void City!
The God of Fear was an evil god, so he was extremely selfish. Unlike him, Sui Xiong was a kind god. He had very deep feelings for Void City because he had worked so hard on it for many years. Unless he had to give it up, he would guard Void City and protect the residents and the buildings here.
In the eyes of the God of Fear, that was a very significant weakness.
As an evil god, he certainly thought that gods should be selfish. They shouldn't be too concerned about outside objects, and what were outside objects? Everything except themselves!
For example: believers, churches, temples, and holy cities. For an evil god, as long as he felt it was necessary, everything could be abandoned.
Because of that, evil gods rarely had priesthoods like "Guardians." They wouldn't guard anything except themselves.
The God of Fear was the representative of the evil gods, so of course, he had the same opinion. At this moment, Sui Xiong would rather get seriously injured to completely resolve the God of Fear's attack because he wanted to avoid damaging Void City. Seeing that scene, the God of Fear couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Although you have some ability, you're still too inexperienced!" the God of Fear roared.
After laughing, he raised his black scepter high.
The scepter of the God of Fear was shaped like a big two-handed sword. In fact, it was indeed a two-handed sword called the "Annihilator, " a famous, powerful artifact known all over the world. For the God of Fear, few enemies would make him wear his robe and fight with his big sword. In most cases, he used that sword as a scepter.
The Annihilator naturally wasn't forged for use as a scepter. Therefore, as a scepter, its effect was very ordinary. It could only slightly enhance the power of the spells cast by the God of Fear. But that was enough. The powerful leader of the alliance of the evil gods didn't need to rely on outside objects to strengthen his power. He was powerful enough.
For example, now, he only lifted his "scepter." He sent out purple-black lightning almost the same as the previous one.
In fact, the lightning was exactly the same. He didn't use more power, not even a little more.
He knew that such an attack would be dispelled by the Void Mask, but it didn't matter. Resolving such an attack was a heavy burden for the jellyfish, so the jellyfish would get seriously injured.
That would be enough. Take it slow. The great Master of Fear wasn't in a hurry.
As expected, that lightning was dispelled by Sui Xiong just the same. It couldn't hurt anything in Void City.
However, before Sui Xiong could take a break, the third lightning strike had come.
"Damn it! You are so mean!" Sui Xiong was so angry, but he could do anything about that. He could only turn into the "spear" again, in other words, the lightning rod, to release the power of the lightning.
This time, he could smell the barbecued scent of his own body.
Seeing that Sui Xiong was being attacked helplessly, Morani frowned. He thought, This is not gonna work.
...
In the sanctuary of the God's Kingdom, Morani, the Steel Lion, the Half-Orc Warrior, the God of Forging, stepped out of his workshop and went to the arsenal. He put on the artifacts that he had built over the years, preparing for a fight.
"What are you doing?" a voice asked.
He was fully armed, neat and tidy. Before he left, he was seen by Wall, the God of Knowledge and Education. Wall was walking around in the sanctuary and looked really worried.
Wall knew the meaning of Morani at a glance, so he asked Morani in surprise.
Of course, Wall asked while knowing the answer, so Morani didn't answer him. Morani just looked around and determined the direction of the God of Fear. He had a golden electric light at his feet and was going to fly over there.
Wall quickly rushed over and stopped him.
"You will die! Your Majesty!"
"Not as serious as death, " Morani said, smiling."If I can't defeat him, I'll run away. I'm not a fool."
"Are you sure you can run away at that time?" Wall asked.
Morani was speechless. He was silent for a while and then shook his head. He said, smiling, "To be honest, I'm not very sure."
"Since you are not sure, why bother to take risks?"
"I have to do something!" Morani answered, sighing."If it goes on like this, Auscar can't hold out for too long!"
Hearing what Morani had said, Wall didn't panic. Instead, he laughed.
"Your Majesty, the Steel Lion! You are looking down upon my master!" Wall said."Although usually, my master looks sloppy, in fact, his mind is very clear at the important moments. If he really can't hold on, he will definitely ask for help from his friends. In other words, since he hasn't spoken yet, he can still hold on."
Morani frowned. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he felt that Wall's words seemed to make sense. Therefore, he temporarily dismissed the intention to go to fight against the God of Fear. However, he didn't put his weapons and armor away. He was still fully armed, ready to fight.
He always felt that his friend might need his help today, so it was better to be prepared in advance to avoid getting there too late.
Wall convinced Morani, but he himself was not at ease. It was very obvious that the Void Mask definitely couldn't defeat the God of Fear. Sooner or later, the Void Mask would need help.
Wall had always prided himself as the No. 1 fierce fighter in the Church of Void Mask. However, at this time, he found that he was still too weak after all. He couldn't do anything to help at the important times, so he was very upset.
However, it took time to improve the deity and accumulate Divine Power. In just a few decades, he had grown to a low-level Divine Power. His speed of progress had been amazing, but he still needed a long time to be able to participate in a battle among the mid-level Divine Powers or even among the great Divine Powers.
In accordance with the most optimistic estimates, he still needed at least 100 more years to enter the level of mid-level Divine Powers. At that time, he would be able to fight in a battle like today's.
Of course, he would fight now. For example, he could act as cannon fodder to bait the enemy. However, he was very clear that the Void Mask didn't need any cannon fodder. The Void Mask wouldn't allow him to do that.
Therefore, he could only wait silently, restraining all the anxieties and worries in his heart.
The enemies wouldn't only be the God of Fear. Sooner or later, other enemies would appear. Someday, he would have the opportunity to fight for His Majesty!
...
Sui Xiong didn't know what was happening in the sanctuary. He was so busy that he couldn't notice those unimportant things.
The God of Fear wasn't in a hurry. Lightning fell down one after another. Sui Xiong had to use his full strength to resolve each one so that he could protect Void City from the aftermath.
The attack of the great Divine Power was really powerful. If he couldn't completely resolve them, a small aftermath would cause serious casualties.
At the same time, he had to draw energy to promote the resurrection of the God of Healing.
It was not an easy task to do two things at the same time, especially when the two things were difficult.
More than once, he wanted to ask his friends for help. He knew that as long as he asked, his friends would definitely help him. The reason why they didn't act was because it seemed that he could hold out.
However, every time, he dismissed his idea of asking for help.
The God of Fear was indeed very powerful, and the situation was indeed a bit terrible. However, he could still hold out a bit longer.
Not only could he hold on, in this dangerous situation, he also felt that he was growing again. He was improving the control of his power gradually.
He felt that he gradually understood the power of the purple-black lightning from the God of Fear. Perhaps after a while, he could not only resolve the lightning but also could swallow them and could bounce them back!
At that time, the reaction of the God of Fear would be very interesting.
Only for that moment would he work hard to persist.
It was the most enjoyable thing in the world to step on the faces of those arrogant people!
