Chapter: Chapter 187
“What is that?” The white-haired girl stared blankly at the deathmatch in the distance, her shock beyond words.
The strength of those two people was far superior to hers. If she were to stand opposite them, surviving even a hundred moves would be considered an extraordinary feat.
Light footsteps sounded from not far away. The white-haired girl turned her head and found a black-haired girl who had appeared behind her at some point.
Moreover, this girl looked almost exactly the same as the girl fighting in the distance.
“May I ask who you are?” The girl’s mind already had a guess. This one was perhaps the deity who had brought her here.
“The one fighting over there is the first Demon King of the Demon Race,” the girl said, not answering the girl’s question, but talking to herself as if no one else was there. “She is the bravest and most powerful mortal I have ever seen.”
The battle in the distance seemed to have been fast-forwarded, and the figures of the two combatants were no longer discernible.
“There’s nothing interesting to see in the process, let’s just look at the result,” the girl said, tapping her finger lightly in the air. “Although my compatriot had only just broken the seal at that time and their strength had not yet recovered to its peak, being able to defeat a true deity with my power, she is worthy of the title of Demon King.”
The day and night in the distance had already changed three times. The battle that took place in ancient times was finally coming to an end.
The two participants no longer possessed the elegance they had at the start of the battle. Both had sustained quite a few wounds, and there were even dried bloodstains at the corner of the girl’s mouth.
“You are going to lose. As a mortal, you have done very well to last this long against me.” The deity had long since shed her arrogance. Although the opponent had borrowed the power of her own kin, she had indeed fought against her for three days and three nights with her mortal body.
Unfortunately, the gap between gods and humans was ultimately difficult to bridge.
The power of gods was infinite, while humans always had a limit. The three-day and three-night battle had drained all the magic power within the girl’s body. The deity was confident that she would soon achieve victory.
The girl’s footsteps were already a bit unsteady. Her forehead was already drenched with sweat, and her face showed a strange flush.
She coughed a few times, covering her mouth, her voice clearly weak: “It’s not over yet. As long as I’m still standing here, isn’t it a bit too early to declare victory?”
The deity laughed disdainfully. What kind of storm could this exhausted girl in front of her stir up?
Even if she stood there and let the girl attack, the completely drained girl wouldn’t be able to break through her defenses.
“Heh, I hope your body is as tough as your mouth,” the deity said, walking step by step towards the girl. She raised her hand without a trace of pity, preparing to smite the girl who dared to challenge a deity with divine punishment.
“You don’t seem worried,” the divine girl said from a distance, standing beside Bai Ling.
Worried? Bai Ling was naturally not worried. She already knew the outcome of this battle. In the final moment, the girl who bore some resemblance to Leticia would surely use some hidden trump card to turn the tide and defeat the deity.
The only suspense was how she would achieve victory from a losing position.
“If that deity had won this battle, I wouldn’t have met the current Leticia.”
“Pfft, that’s true. Knowing the result, even if the situation is precarious now, I can feel at ease.” The divine girl chuckled. “We don’t have much time left anyway. Let’s keep watching to see how she defeats my compatriot.”
In the distance, the sword in the girl’s hand had been knocked away by the deity. It seemed she had completely lost the ability to turn the tables.
The deity thought so too. Therefore, she did not grant the girl a swift death, but instead grabbed the girl by the neck, intending to make her die a more painful death.
“Heh, mere mortal, daring to challenge the majesty of a deity. It dissatisfies me to let you die so easily,” the deity said as she exerted pressure.
But the girl, held aloft by her, revealed a strange smile. She grabbed the arm of the deity that was choking her throat and squeezed out a sound from between her teeth: “I won.”
The three days and three nights of battle, she had been waiting for this moment.
The deity, believing she had won, completely let down her guard, allowing the girl’s ultimate technique to be unleashed.
“What?” The deity was startled. The girl’s strange behavior gave her a premonition of something bad.
But it was too late for her to react. Golden chains broke through the girl’s skin and surged out from within her body, binding the deity tightly.
It was then that the deity realized that throughout the past three days and three nights, the girl had never used the true power of her compatriot.
“Damn it, you cunning little wretch!” the deity, bound like a rice dumpling, shouted loudly.
Her voice was extremely sharp, causing the girl to frown. For the sake of her ears, she decisively tore off a sleeve and stuffed it into the deity’s mouth.
At this moment, the girl was covered in blood. Scarlet blood flowed out of the wounds caused by the chains like babbling brooks, dyeing the ground beneath her feet a bloody red.
Slowly walking to the side to retrieve her long black sword, the girl did not make the same mistake as the deity. She unhesitatingly raised her sword and swung it towards the deity’s neck.
This blow was very weak. The girl was at the end of her strength; even a gust of wind would be enough to blow her over.
However, the deity’s eyes widened. If she were hit, she would absolutely die.
She did not want to die.
And there was only one way to survive: to slink back into the sealed space. Only by doing so could she preserve her life.
The blade struck the black short staff, making a piercing collision sound.
“What a pity,” the girl sighed faintly.
The scene froze.
“What were those golden chains?” After watching the entire battle, Bai Ling became very interested in the golden chains at the end. Something that could control a deity and even make her submit so docilely was bound to be important.
If not for those golden chains at the end, Leticia’s ancestor would surely have died at the hands of the deity. It could be said that these chains were the MVP of this battle.
“That is my dwelling place,” the divine girl said, extending her hand. The golden chains, like living creatures, emerged a head from her palm. “But at that time, she implanted me into her body, all for that final strike.”
“What?” Bai Ling’s eyes widened. Implanting a divine artifact into one’s own body?!
That was too incredible.

Commencement ceremony today, I’ll rest for a day.
