Chapter: Chapter 376
“Those blasphemers have reached out their hands again, so I must seize an opportunity to get revenge.” After listening to Leticia’s account, Yin held a steaming cup of coffee, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Her enemy had come within reach, and if she didn’t find an opportunity to cause them some trouble, would she still be worthy of the title of deity?
Petty? No, this was called the dignity of a god that mortals could not defile.
“I thought you might cooperate with them, after all, it’s highly probable that their target is that thing created by humans.” Leticia didn’t hold a cup, she leaned back lazily on the wooden chair, looking like an unconcerned salted fish.
What reason could there be for the God Seat to appear in Central City at this time? What other reason could there be, it must be because of that big toy created by humans.
Besides this, Leticia couldn’t think of anything else in Central City that would be worthy of the God Seat’s attention.
Central City had been very peaceful recently, with no strange incidents occurring. The only deities active seemed to be Yin and herself, and their actions had always been kept hidden, so it was impossible for the God Seat to detect them.
Besides, the people from the God Seat first went to trouble the Hero Association, not to find Yin, which basically indicated that these people actually didn’t know that Yin existed in Central City.
Leticia was curious why Yin and the God Seat had the same target last time, but now Yin wanted to fight the God Seat.
“Last time I couldn’t afford to offend them, and by the time I arrived on the battlefield, you had already cleared the scene. We just happened to be targeting the same objective at the same time,” Yin said, feigning depth. “It’s different now. I have a more trustworthy partner, and those things don’t have much impact on you and me. At this time, my goals will naturally change.”
After the end of the last mission, Leticia had promptly communicated her situation to Yin. She was an inexperienced deity and had to consult these experienced deities when encountering such matters.
After understanding the course of events in detail, Yin breathed a sigh of relief. She was not unfamiliar with the effects of that item; in the distant Age of Gods, such things were even common.
The Ground Divine Kingdom, Yin remembered that was the name of this thing before. She used to have something like this herself.
This thing would suppress all divine creatures within its range, except for the user, including gods and certain divine beasts. The suppression effect depended on the strength of the user.
Based on the degree of suppression experienced by Leticia, Yin, after careful calculation, arrived at a result that stunned both of them. The deity corresponding to that thing was even stronger than Yin at her peak.
Leticia thought Yin’s calculation was wrong, so she went to Infino to calculate it again, but the result was still the same.
Both experienced deities arrived at this conclusion, and Leticia had no choice but to believe it.
Yin, on the other hand, thought more deeply. Why would humans obtain the method for creating the Ground Divine Kingdom? Were there still leftover materials for the Ground Divine Kingdom? Which deity did this Ground Divine Kingdom correspond to?
“I think we still need to find an opportunity to destroy that thing. I don’t know which deity this Divine Kingdom corresponds to, but once it officially starts operating, the corresponding deity will definitely be alerted,” Yin said to Leticia. “Although that deity should still be sealed now, we can’t take the risk.”
“I say, isn’t there a possibility that this isn’t the Ground Divine Kingdom at all?” Leticia was very troubled now. She didn’t understand Divine Kingdoms at all. If she had to compare it, it would be something like a domain. In her domain, others would be weakened, which was easy to understand.
But she was weakened without even seeing the opponent, which was too unreasonable!
“But the only thing I know that matches your description is the Ground Divine Kingdom. If the humans here are using other technology, how would I know?” Yin shrugged innocently. Gods are not omniscient and omnipotent. Her guesses were based on her own knowledge and of course, she couldn’t guarantee 100% credibility.
The feeling of being weakened described by Leticia undoubtedly matched the effect of the Ground Divine Kingdom, so Yin naturally thought it was the Ground Divine Kingdom.
“But I just feel that something is not right,” Leticia spread her hands. She couldn’t explain why, but her intuition told her that the thing suppressing her was not the Ground Divine Kingdom that Yin mentioned. “Speaking of which, can we create a Ground Divine Kingdom now?”
Let’s create one to compare. If it matches, then it’s the Ground Divine Kingdom, and if it doesn’t, then it’s not.
“Don’t even think about it. Even in the Age of Gods, it would take nearly a hundred years of accumulation for a deity to build a Ground Divine Kingdom. If you want to create one directly now, it’s impossible.”
“But humans created one in less than a year, do you think that’s possible?” Leticia retorted. It was because of this that she didn’t believe that what humans held was not the Ground Divine Kingdom that Yin mentioned. Perhaps it was something with a similar principle, but it certainly wouldn’t be the original Divine Kingdom.
“It’s also unlikely. If I don’t observe and feel it closely, I can’t give a definitive answer, and I don’t dare to go to Central City… Those blasphemers should be up to something, right?” Yin touched her chin, her eyes gradually brightening. “This might be an opportunity!”
“What happened to giving them a piece of your mind?”
“I’m using them, letting them do free labor for me, squeezing out their value,” Yin said righteously. “Here, here, let’s plan it out. When those blasphemers make their move, we’ll quietly follow behind them and be the mantis watching the cicada.”
“Wow, you’re so insidious.”
“This is called wisdom. Aren’t you curious about how humans created that thing? It took me one hundred and sixty-seven years to roughly create my own Divine Kingdom. These mortals created a Divine Kingdom in less than a year. I think there’s definitely something fishy going on.”
“Then you still swore that it was definitely a Divine Kingdom?”
“Besides the Divine Kingdom, I don’t know of anything else that can suppress a deity. You said it suppresses all targets with divinity within range indiscriminately, so only Divine Kingdoms are known to me.”
According to Yin, the Ground Divine Kingdom could weaken intruders based on the difference in strength between the user and the intruders. This weakening directly reduced the intruder’s base stats, which was why Leticia’s magic effects were reduced.
If your base stats are cut, how could the power of the magic you cast remain the same?
It’s impossible to think about.
As for why humans were not affected by the effects of the Divine Kingdom, Yin thought for a long time before reaching a conclusion: “Probably because the process of developing the Divine Kingdom did not consider non-divine beings at all.”
In the Age of Gods, everyone had some divinity, and things without divinity were embarrassed to go out.
The majority of the vassal armies of the deities were beings with a little divinity, or rather, these vassal armies had been living in the territories of the deities for a long time, and over time, they would be tainted with the aura of that deity.
At that time, the deities only needed to take a glance to know who the owner of a vassal army was, as the aura was too conspicuous to conceal.
Back then, where were there mortal races like humans, elves, and demons? Human ancestors might not have even appeared yet. Were the deities bored enough to target non-divine beings that they considered useless?
“In the Age of Gods, the combat power of this entire city combined might not have been enough to defeat a single siege beast,” Yin spread her hands, indicating that society today was truly declining.
“There’s someone in this city with combat power similar to mine, so don’t speak too definitively, sister.”
“That’s at most two more, not that I look down on you, but you know too little about the Age of Gods. Back then, when everyone fought, if they didn’t shatter a continent, it was considered a minor skirmish,” Yin showed a nostalgic expression. She preferred the past world compared to the current one.
Although there weren’t as many entertainment options back then, everyone was free and lived comfortably.
If they were unhappy with their neighbors, they would just go and fight. If they couldn’t win, they would give up some land as compensation.
As for the vassal armies that died in war?
It was their honor to die in a divine war!
“Good grief, with you guys fighting like that, could the world withstand it?” Leticia truly couldn’t imagine what kind of dire era the Age of Gods was. According to Yin, it was a time when world-ending wars could happen at any moment!
While the deities were living in peace and security, other lives living in the world were truly miserable. They were living well, but if they were unlucky enough to be caught in a divine war, they would lose their lives.
Moreover, shattering a continent, that destructive power was truly exaggerated, wasn’t it?
Leticia considered her combat power to be very strong. She could move mountains and fill seas, but if she were asked to shatter a continent?
It was completely impossible, that was a realm beyond human reach!
Flattening a small mountain peak was easy, but if you asked Leticia to flatten the tallest mountain in the demon realm, Leticia would definitely go back and curse you.
If I can’t solve the problem, can’t I solve the person who raised the problem?
“Unfortunately, that was reality. As for the world, nothing unusual happened by the time we were sealed. Our world is very sturdy. It would only take a hundred or eighty years for a few continents to recover,” Yin said indifferently. She herself was once a deity who liked to fight with her neighbors. She had destroyed no less than fifty, if not a hundred, continents.
Among deities, such a record was considered small. The battles of the God of War would destroy at least ten continents at a time.
“I suspect the God of War died because our world couldn’t stand it anymore and felt that you gods were too excessive,” Leticia pointed to the sky and said casually. “Speaking of which, does our world have a World Consciousness?”
“…Stop reading so many novels. If there were such a thing, we wouldn’t know if it didn’t appear voluntarily,” Yin shook her head, her cat ears on her head looking a bit listless. “Some deities studied this before, but their conclusion was no.”
Is there really no such thing? Leticia looked out the window with such doubt. If there really was no such existence, why did the once prosperous Age of Gods suddenly come to an end? Why did the four major races pass down a prophecy book that seemed to be used to restrain gods?
The sunlight outside was bright, and the weather today was exceptionally good. There wasn’t a single white cloud in the sky, and the brilliant sunlight shone upon the earth, as if all darkness would dissipate under such sunlight.
Leticia sat in the sunlight, looking up at Yin sitting opposite her. Her sister was also squinting her eyes and enjoying the sunlight, but unlike her, Yin’s lower body remained in the dark.
“I don’t know why, but I suddenly like basking in the sun now, perhaps it’s some habit brought by this body?” Yin stood up and walked to the window. “Do you want to go for a walk? Sitting for too long will make one rusty.”
“Of course, your taste is truly excellent. The scenery here is much better than those so-called scenic spots.” Leticia agreed naturally and followed Yin out of the small wooden house.
This was not the stronghold where Yin and her subordinates were stationed, but a vacation cabin exclusively belonging to Yin. This deity indeed separated work and life clearly.
Perhaps it was also because the problem with her body had been resolved, and she no longer needed to race against time like before. The current Yin truly had the appearance of a lazy cat.
Victoria was also settled here by her. In her words, “I don’t want that little girl to come into contact with those things for now.”
The evil deeds she and her subordinates were doing, keeping the little cat girl by their side would not only cause trouble but also not be good for the little cat girl’s growth.
After all, the work Yin did every day was basically to accept a commission and then eliminate the person on the commission.
Could she bring a child while doing such things?
Besides, the base was not safe either. Their group of ruthless newcomers had already attracted the attention of some established forces, and from time to time, people would come to test them. Leaving Victoria, the self-propelled resource bank, there was not very safe.
And here, Yin wouldn’t boast, but there was no place safer than this. The spatial concealment spells she personally arranged made it impossible for beings of equal level to even imagine that a small wooden house was hidden here.
Moreover, this was the suburbs, almost at the very edge of Central City, where almost no one would come. It was 100% safe.
