Chapter: Chapter 558
“Are all the remaining gods here?” Leticia’s eyes were a bit dazzled as she looked at the gods sitting in a circle on the open space at the bottom of her building.
She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, realizing just how many gods existed in this world.
“They are all here, at least all the ones we know of,” Yin said, sitting with her legs crossed on the edge of the flower bed. “Once our divine authorities are absorbed, we can come out of our artifacts, right?”
“Yes, that’s right, at least ‘that person’ told me so,” Leticia nodded.
“Alright, then I’ll be the first. How will you absorb it?” Yin’s expression brightened considerably upon hearing the answer she wanted. She immediately jumped in front of Leticia, eagerly requesting.
The other gods looked surprised at Yin’s active demeanor. While they didn’t object to handing over their divine authorities, they couldn’t be as proactive and enthusiastic as Yin.
“After absorbing it, we get a vacation, right? Can I have one of your empty rooms then? Heh heh,” Yin said with a grin to Leticia.
Pfft, that’s a rather simple request, Leticia chuckled and poked Yin’s forehead. “Don’t worry, you’ll get yours.”
As for the method of absorbing divine authority, it was quite simple.
Yin’s current state was different from other gods. She was using a physical body created by Leticia, while her true form was still inside her artifact.
Therefore, absorbing Yin’s divine authority had to be done from the artifact.
Taking the artifact out from Yin’s chest, Leticia, with Yin’s cooperation, quickly took possession of the spatial divine authority. The moment the divine authority was recovered, the artifact in Leticia’s hand dissipated into points of light.
These points of light formed a circular portal in mid-air, and Yin’s true form jumped out from it.
Her true form was indeed a bit more beautiful than the body Leticia had made for her, in every aspect.
After being freed from her seal, Yin immediately met Leticia’s displeased gaze with a big hug. “Woohoo, I’m free!”
Shouting happily, Yin kissed Leticia on the cheek, then, before Miss Bai could draw her sword, she used a spatial jump to escape to a distance, sticking out her tongue playfully.
That guy really liked to stir up trouble, Leticia shook her head helplessly. However, Yin’s spatial abilities didn’t seem to have been significantly impaired. Perhaps using spatial divine authority for so many years had actually strengthened her control over spatial spells?
Seeing Yin’s lively performance, the other gods also stood up, intending to hand over their divine authorities to Leticia.
It was even simpler to recover the divine authorities of these gods whose true forms had appeared, especially when they were willing to cooperate.
It didn’t take long for Leticia to obtain their divine authorities from these gods.
The gods of the Divine Throne left together after handing over their divine authorities, seemingly not intending to stay. However, the gods on Leticia’s side remained one by one, as there were still divine authorities in artifacts to be absorbed.
First, there were Netherworld and Qing, and the curved saber of the Elf tribe. These three were cooperative, and their divine authorities were absorbed easily.
As for the remaining artifacts, either the gods inside were not awakened, or they did not intend to bother with matters outside. Normally, they would be difficult to deal with, but for the current Leticia, all of this was not a problem.
Now she could proudly shout, “I am invincible in this world!”
Casually grabbing a fan-shaped artifact, Leticia effortlessly seized the divine authority of the god within.
What emerged from this artifact was a blue-haired girl sleeping soundly. Even free-falling did not wake her from her slumber; her sleep quality was truly excellent.
Inferno checked on her and concluded, “She has closed off her consciousness. It seems she couldn’t bear the long-term loneliness.”
Most gods passed the long years in this manner, but this girl had slept a bit too long and missed almost all the important events.
However, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
The situations with the remaining artifacts were similar. The gods inside were all unconscious and had to be temporarily taken care of.
Soon, it was time for the last artifact, which was also the first artifact Leticia had encountered.
Misty City.
This was where everything began, and it was only fitting that it would be where everything ended.
Thinking this, Leticia reached out towards Misty City.
The absorption of divine authority was not obstructed in any way. Or rather, the god within could not resist the absorption by the complete Leticia at all. Just a few seconds later, Leticia felt that all the divine authorities she possessed were replenished. At that moment, she had a feeling that with just a slight flick of her finger, she could shatter a world.
No, this wasn’t an illusion, but reality…
A complete, full-powered World Consciousness indeed possessed such control over the worlds under its jurisdiction.
The problems that had been troubling Leticia vanished in an instant. With complete divine authority, she was a completely different being from when she lacked it.
Now, she could fuse shattered worlds even without the assistance of Bai Ling!
Misty City, held in her hand, made a crisp cracking sound, and a mist emerged from the glass ball, forming a human shape in front of Leticia.
That arrogant god who wore mist as her attire reappeared before Leticia. This time, she was no longer as arrogant as before. She looked at Leticia with complex eyes, likely understanding what had happened.
Logically, she should be angry now and attack Leticia, but both reason and emotion prevented her from making such an impetuous move.
“Do you have anything you want to say?” Leticia looked at the Mist God, the god who had once pushed her to the brink of despair.
The Mist God shook her head. What was there to say?
“Good luck,” she said softly, then turned and left.
Expecting her to let go of past grievances and happily stay with Leticia and the others was wishful thinking; she would be awkward, and so would Leticia and the others.
Being able to say ‘Good luck’ was already the greatest concession she could make.
Watching the Mist God disappear into the distance, Leticia touched her cheek. She had expected the Mist God’s reaction to be more intense, but she hadn’t anticipated such a calm response in the end, as if she were a hermit sage who had seen through worldly affairs.
She had even received words of encouragement, and while the emotions within were faint, they were present, weren’t they?
This was beyond Leticia’s imagination!
“She knows she was in the wrong first, right? And in this situation, can she still turn on you?” Yin, who had watched the scene unfold, swayed her feet, looking understanding. What else could the Mist God do?
Should she really charge at Leticia and attack her?
That’s overthinking it. The Mist God isn’t brain-damaged. Doing something like this now would leave nothing but ashes.
And why did she deal with Leticia before? Wasn’t it to get out of the seal?
Now that Leticia had released her from the seal and given her freedom, it would be rude if she didn’t kneel down and thank Leticia. How could she repay kindness with enmity and bite Leticia in the back?
“That makes sense. So, all the divine authorities are settled, and we just have the final stage left,” Leticia nodded, thinking Yin’s explanation made sense.
In many ways, she could be considered the Mist God’s benefactor.
“Lety!” After seeing off the Mist God, another girl familiar to Leticia ran over.
The Commander jumped down from a large vehicle. She had been called by Leticia to move the gods lying asleep on the ground.
After all, Leticia’s side didn’t have many empty spots for these gods to sleep. It would be troublesome, so she asked the Commander and her team to move these gods to the hospital.
“Commander, long time no see,” Leticia said emotionally, high-fiving the Commander as she reached out.
Before, both she and the Commander had been busy with their own affairs and hadn’t had a chance to meet. This was the first time they had seen each other.
“Yeah, I’ve always heard news about you, Lety, but I never had the time to see you,” the Commander said with a grin, pinching Leticia’s cheek. “So, are gods also plump? I thought they would feel different.”
“Pfft, don’t treat me like some alien. Please take that pile of gods over there with you,” Leticia pointed to the gods casually piled aside. “Doesn’t this all seem lacking in mystery?”
Indeed, piled up like that, where was the mystery?
Someone who didn’t know would think it was a crime scene!
“Leave it to me!” The Commander immediately directed her team to load these gods onto the truck to be taken away.
She herself stayed by Leticia’s side to discuss another matter.
“The future I can see has become chaotic, but I have a feeling that our world still has a future,” the Commander said softly to Leticia, looking at the starry sky that had been maintained for nearly a month. “When I couldn’t see the future at first, I was actually a bit scared, but now, I’m no longer afraid.”
“At least I haven’t seen the scene of the world’s destruction. Doesn’t this mean our world won’t be destroyed in the end?”
“Yes, our world will definitely not be destroyed in the end,” Leticia nodded, saying to the Commander with a firm expression. “After this is over, Commander, we’ll play games together again.”
“Haha, I’m afraid you’ll be very busy then and won’t have time to accompany me.”
“Impossible, I’m a professional at slacking off,” Leticia grinned mischievously. “Let’s get together then and make our guild number one in the world!”
“You said it. Don’t go back on your word,” the Commander extended her pinky finger. “Pinky promise.”
“Pinky promise.”
Their two pinky fingers hooked together tightly. Leticia smiled and said, “I didn’t expect the Commander to have such a childish side.”
“Hmph, what’s wrong with a pinky promise? Is it not allowed?” The Commander withdrew her finger and turned to walk towards the black luxury car behind her. “Lety, keep up the good work.”
Watching the Commander’s retreating figure, the smile on Leticia’s face gradually faded, and she nodded with a solemn expression. “Don’t worry, we will succeed.”
…
Outside the boundaries of the world, in a splendid starry space, the Traveler stood quietly, her gaze returning from afar.
The impact of the Stellar Tide was imminent, and her preparations were complete. It was time for the real plan to begin.
Turning back into the world behind her, the Traveler sent a message to Leticia, informing her that time was running out.
The next moment after she sent the message, Leticia appeared beside her. The aura on her body was vastly different from when they last met, even causing the Traveler to look at her with admiration.
Every World Consciousness was an insurmountable existence within its own world. Unless the worlds they protected were shattered, it was almost impossible to defeat them.
The World Consciousness she had seen before, so weak that even her own child might not be able to defeat her, had become like this now. It truly made one sigh at the immense power of time.
“Do you have confidence?” the Traveler asked happily, looking at Leticia, whose aura was no weaker than hers.
“I’d say I do. And so many people are hoping for my success, I can’t possibly let them down,” Leticia clenched her fist and nodded deeply.
“Very good. Then, let’s begin,” the Traveler said with a satisfied expression. This was the child she liked, the child she had known before, and the child she knew now.
Although she understood that these two children might no longer have any connection, she was still willing to regard them as the same existence.
The former World Consciousness had sacrificed herself to sustain the world, and the Traveler would absolutely not let such a scene happen again.
“The total amount of Stellar Energy is sufficient to support the entire operation. Bai Xing is still replenishing the Stellar Energy in the extraction device. This time, there are no worries,” the Traveler said to Leticia. “I will intercept the Stellar Tide. The rest is up to you.”
“Yes, maybe things will go more smoothly than we think. I might even be able to come and help you out then,” Leticia chuckled twice. “Phew, well, let’s begin!”
