“This is… the same kind of glasses as before?” Bai Ling took the glasses case from Leticia’s hand, opened it, and felt a familiar magical fluctuation.
In the very beginning, she had borrowed invisible lenses with magic-penetrating enchantments from Leticia to see through Kira’s disguise. Later, she even gave Leticia some suggestions, saying that the form of invisible lenses was a bit uncomfortable and it would be better to change them into ordinary glasses.
Leticia’s answer back then was “don’t even think about it,” but it seemed that Her Majesty the Demon King was as contradictory as ever.
“Yes, some improvements have been made. The previous form was indeed a bit problematic. After changing to this form, many more functions have been added. For example, I added special concealment magic to the frame, which can make people unable to detect the peculiarity of these glasses. In the eyes of those with insufficient levels, these are just ordinary glasses.” Leticia rolled up her sleeves, revealing the thin gold chain on her wrist. “Some things might happen next, so you need to be prepared for battle.”
To ensure everything was foolproof, Leticia also went to Kira’s school and temporarily retrieved the divine artifact from her sister. Now, she was in her prime!
Even facing a true god, she had the strength to fight!
“Mhm, are you going there later too?” Bai Ling turned her head to look at the government building standing not far away. She would soon be heading to the highest floor of that building to act as the final boss.
“Secret.” But Leticia had no intention of revealing all her plans to Bai Ling. She came to give Bai Ling the glasses only to prevent this person from being easily deceived by the rats that had already infiltrated the building.
If the final boss were to be defeated so easily, the water wouldn’t get muddy, and it would be impossible to fish in troubled waters.
What Leticia was most looking forward to was Bai Ling and the group of intruders fighting each other, making the entire building a mess. At that time, she and Yin could quietly sneak into the place suspected of being a divine kingdom to investigate.
So, at this moment, Leticia and Bai Ling were not on the same side. She and Yin were independent of the current two major factions, being the true third party.
“If I see you on the top floor, I won’t hold back.” Looking at Leticia, who was almost like a different person, Bai Ling could guess Leticia’s thoughts. Dressed like this, would Leticia honestly watch from the outside?
Bai Ling dared to bet that Leticia would definitely find her own way to infiltrate the government building later, and as for what she wanted to do, it was highly likely she wanted to go to the top floor.
It was unavoidable, their interests were too closely related. Ever since the incident with the God of Dreams last time, Leticia had been very upset about matters related to gods. After the appearance of the item that could restrict gods, this Demon King Miss would ask about the progress almost every day.
And now, with such a good opportunity, could Leticia give up?
Definitely not. Bai Ling knew this girl very well. Normally, this girl might be clingy (?), but when it came to important matters, she was definitely someone who would disown anyone.
Even though her relationship with herself was very good, this person would not hold back when it was time to act. Relying on her to be influenced by personal feelings was almost impossible.
“Don’t worry, I’ll try to avoid you. If I really end up fighting you there, then what the captain saw might really come true.” No matter how sturdy this government building was, it couldn’t withstand the Sword Saint and the Demon King fighting directly inside it.
If the two of them held back their strength, it would be fine, but if they fought with all their might, the government building would surely turn into ruins amidst the wails of “this really won’t do!”
Therefore, whether for herself or for Bai Ling’s reputation, Leticia would try her best to avoid Miss Sword Saint.
After this meeting, Su Qianqian would temporarily disappear, replaced by a mysterious person with white hair and golden eyes.
Bai Ling had vouched for herself before, and she couldn’t repay kindness with enmity.
“It’s difficult to hide yourself under my nose, and the closer you get to that place, the more your power should be suppressed, right?” Bai Ling pointed to the highest floor of the government building and said calmly.
This statement was not wrong. Even standing here, Leticia could feel that her power was being suppressed by some mysterious force. Before, she had only come into contact with an derivative of that item, but now, after being in contactless contact with the main body of that item, Leticia knew that this was definitely not something that humans could create on their own.
“You probably can’t control that thing. I think it would be better for you to get rid of it quickly.” Leticia frowned with some disgust. She instinctively disliked this feeling, but she couldn’t quite explain why.
It felt like this thing was fundamentally incompatible with her.
“That’s not something I can decide. And I trust Senior Sang in this regard. Since she made such a decision, it must have been carefully considered. I’m not very smart, so…” Bai Ling spread her hands. She had a clear understanding of her role: she was an extremely sharp sword. She was very good at fighting, but for other things, it was better not to expect anything from her.
Miss Sword Saint was a complete illiterate, her mind was only filled with fighting and wanting to eat and have sex. Nothing else could fit into that small brain.
“Alright, time is almost up, I’m leaving.” Leticia looked up at the sky. She felt the surrounding air gradually thicken, and a feeling of impending storm filled her heart.
Her intuition told her that what was about to happen was probably a little bit big.
“Protect yourself. Even if you don’t meet me, you might encounter other troubles.” Looking at Leticia, Bai Ling suddenly blurted out a sentence on a whim.
After saying it, she wanted to laugh. Who was Leticia? Was there anything other than herself that could threaten her?
Moreover, when it came to survival skills, this Demon King Miss was definitely a professional. Being able to escape from her hands in the past was enough to prove this girl’s ability.
“Don’t worry, contingency plans have been made long ago. Instead of worrying about me, you’d better worry about yourself.” Leticia waved her hand nonchalantly, but she took Bai Ling’s words to heart.
This slip of the tongue might be some kind of omen, some kind of not-so-good omen.
Normally, Bai Ling wouldn’t say such idle things. Now that she said it, Leticia felt that she should take it to heart. Caution was the best policy. If things went wrong later, there would be nowhere to cry.
Leticia left, just as she had arrived, blending into the air. This elusive ability made Bai Ling a little more relieved.
In this case, Leticia should be fine.
Thinking so, she adjusted the glasses on her nose and walked towards the government building not far away. She was also heading to her battlefield.
…
“Welcome back, I bought you a milk tea.” Seeing an opening in the air from Leticia’s head, Yin handed her a cup of milk tea. “It’s still hot!”
“Oh, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You’re about to fight, and you still have the leisure to buy milk tea?” Leticia said this, but her hand honestly took the milk tea from Yin’s hand.
She took a big sip of the milk tea. It was warm and sweet. It was indeed an enjoyment to drink such a cup of milk tea in this early winter weather.
“Although the time to start fighting is very close, our entry will have to be pushed back a bit. After all, we can’t just conflict with the Central City authorities directly like those audacious blasphemers.” Yin shrugged. If she had enough power, she wouldn’t be afraid. Unfortunately, the only ones who could fight on her side now were herself and Leticia.
“From here, can you tell what that thing on the rooftop is? I’m already feeling a vague discomfort.” Looking up at the tall building not far away, Leticia asked softly.
Yin shook her head, indicating that she couldn’t give an answer yet. “It’s quite different from the divine kingdom in my impression. The main reason is that I can’t even determine which god this divine kingdom corresponds to.”
This judgment was not about identifying the specific identity of the god, but about judging from the aura of the divine kingdom that it indeed belonged to a god. In the Age of Gods, every divine kingdom with an owner had such an effect.
However, this one’s aura was too… clean, with no aura related to gods at all, as if it were a naturally generated item. This was completely beyond Yin’s cognition.
This suppression effect was very similar to a divine kingdom, but it was not a divine kingdom. It was truly a mystery worth exploring.
“The closer we get to that thing, the weaker our power will become. I can’t predict how weak it will get. It might even drop to the level of ordinary people.” Yin added in a low voice. She didn’t care much, as this body dying here wouldn’t be a significant loss. “Are you fully prepared?”
“I don’t really understand what ‘fully prepared’ means, but I do have a good shelter here.” Leticia revealed the thin gold chain on her wrist again. “Even if I’m suppressed to the level of an ordinary person, I can still open the artifact space and hide inside, right?”
“Indeed, the artifact space is separated from real space, and external changes will not affect the inside of the artifact. If you just want to temporarily hide, it’s a good option… Speaking of which, are the beings living inside related to you well?”
“Ah, how should I put it? You could say he’s my ancestor, a literal ancestor.” Leticia explained the relationship between herself and Infino, her face slightly flushed.
In short, her ancestor had an unclear relationship with this god, so she inherited some divine bloodline.
“I see… but you made one mistake. Your physique, which perfectly adapts to all divine artifacts, is not due to divine bloodline.”
“Eh?”
“Your bloodline originates from this god. In theory, your family would have high adaptability to this divine artifact. However, you don’t have the bloodline of other gods. This god’s bloodline cannot grant you authorization for those other divine artifacts.” Perhaps because there was still quite some time for idle conversation, Yin beckoned to Leticia, signaling her to come closer.
Sister Yin’s class on gods was about to begin.
“The chosen one of divine artifacts is something that depends on fate. Generally speaking, a person being able to adapt to one divine artifact is already considered extraordinarily talented. If they can adapt to multiple, it’s simply astonishing.” Yin slowly recounted what she knew. “For example, I was also able to release my power in the outside world only because I met a chosen one by chance. Of course, now I don’t need anyone else to use my power, I can use it myself.”
But the most important significance of a chosen one for a god was not the use of divine artifacts, but as a key to unlock seals.
“I didn’t notice it before, but if I sense it carefully… your aura is really wonderful. An aura that can drive gods crazy. I must admit that ordinary kin can’t control themselves.” A trace of fanaticism flashed in Yin’s eyes. Fortunately, her self-control was extremely strong, and she immediately suppressed the restless emotion.
This was definitely not the influence of that bit of divine bloodline!
“The secrets hidden within you are probably more than you think. Just this ‘master key’ physique alone is enough to determine that your life will not be peaceful.”
“I was born into a royal family, which determined that my life would not be peaceful.” Leticia was not very bothered by this evaluation. “So you mean, my ‘master key’ physique didn’t disappear after I became a god?”
“Of course. Why would you think your physique would disappear after becoming a god?” Yin looked at Leticia with a doubtful gaze. “Becoming a god is merely adding a ‘god’ label to you in terms of concept. Although I’m not very clear how you took away the divine authority belonging to that kin, I can be sure that these changes will not affect your essence.”
“But you said my current main body should be a spiritual entity, hasn’t that affected my essence?”
“Huh? You don’t think that can be considered a change? The change in a spiritual entity actually gives you extremely powerful immortality. Even if your physical body is completely destroyed, you only need to hide in the spiritual world to recover for a while, and then you can create a physical body again to return to the material world.” Yin twirled her hair with her finger and explained helplessly, “Actually, most gods are like this. The physical body is just a shell that can be abandoned at any time, while the spirit is the unique part of a god.”
