"F * ck!
Caffeine, do you want to kill the leader and take the position yourself? "
"Bullsh * t!
I don't want to be the leader. Leading a team every day is exhausting, but I'm feeling a little tired now. "
As the main culprit behind the destruction of the dojo, Caffeine was facing a lot of ridicule from his teammates. Caramel looked at the ruins of the dojo and fell into deep thought.
On the other hand, Caramel felt that Zhao Mingwei was not the only dojo that had been destroyed by Caffeine's berserk power.
"Sister Ye Linna is hurt!"
"What the hell is Demon Erosion?
Caffeine, come over here! "
The players of Viking Nucleus did not care about the internal conflict between Cola and Cola. They all surrounded Ye Linna, even though Ye Linna had the best relationship with Zhao Mingwei.
But this did not prevent Ye Linna from becoming the group pet of Viking Nucleus. Ye Linna was now in Zhao Mingwei's arms because the power of the Demon Erosion on her leg was gradually becoming stronger.
"I … I don't know what to do."
Caffeine glanced at the power of the Demon Erosion on Ye Linna's leg. He stretched out his hand but did not know how to retract the power of the Demon Erosion.
He could command the seven demons in his body to fight for him, but he did not have much confidence in controlling such a small amount of power.
"Where's Fluffy Rabbit?" Zhao Mingwei immediately looked up and asked where the strongest healer of Viking Nucleus was.
She had disappeared for a long time. Zhao Mingwei also asked Jiang Qiao what she was doing, but Jiang Qiao could only say that she was doing some long-term hidden quest.
"Fluffy Rabbit went out with Boss Yin and the guild leader. He said that the teleportation beacon drew a very powerful NPC," Mama Barked replied.
"A powerful NPC?"
Zhao Mingwei felt the familiar aura at the entrance of Viking Nucleus' stronghold when he heard this name.
Of course, Jiang Qiao felt it too. Jiang Qiao also had countless ways to cure the power of the Demon Erosion on Ye Linna's ankle, but the problem was that Jiang Qiao had to activate the GM condition.
Jiang Qiao did not come here just to watch. Part of the reason was to prepare for Alma's arrival.
"Look after her for me."
Zhao Mingwei had also sensed another presence beside Alma. He had asked Jiang Qiao to keep an eye on the weakened Ye Linna.
Jiang Qiao nodded and agreed to Zhao Mingwei's request. Zhao Mingwei took out a pillow out of nowhere and let Ye Linna lie down on it. Then, he ran towards the entrance of the Jumping Nucleus Stronghold.
At the entrance of the stronghold, Director Yin was bringing Alma the Divine Spear to visit his own stronghold. Behind Alma the Divine Spear were the four pitiful gods.
"I … I sensed a terrifying dark aura. What happened in that stronghold?"
One of the Goddess of Holy Light's friends tugged at her arm as she trembled uncontrollably. Among the four gods, only the Goddess of Holy Light had a combat function, while the other three were mostly blessings and support.
So when the three gods followed their good friend, the Goddess of Holy Light, to the entrance of the jumping nuclear outpost, they happened to hear the roar of the seventh demon.
The thick, suffocating dark aura permeated the stronghold of the pulsating nucleus, causing the three gods to tremble in fear.
"I … should be able to handle it."
The Goddess of Holy Light tightened her grip on the silver holy sword at her waist. But as she tightened her grip on the sword, she instinctively sensed danger.
But she was still one step too late. The moment she unsheathed the silver holy sword, a hand grabbed her sword-wielding arm.
"It's … you?"
The Goddess of Holy Light's eyes widened as she looked at Zhao Mingwei, who had suddenly appeared in front of her and grabbed her arm.
"Are you here to return my favor?"
Zhao Mingwei didn't waste any time and directly stated the reason why the Goddess of Holy Light would risk breaking into the God-Eater's lair to come here.
"Favor?
Yes, but … you're also … "
Wasn't that a little too straightforward?
The Goddess of Holy Light couldn't finish her sentence. She was a little surprised when she saw Zhao Mingwei, but Zhao Mingwei's straightforward words made her feel a little awkward.
According to the rating of favorability, before she saw Zhao Mingwei, her favorability was three hearts, and the rating was slightly favorable. Now, it was probably less than half a heart.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
The Goddess of Holy Light didn't dwell on this topic because she could see the worried expression on Zhao Mingwei's face.
Based on the impression that Zhao Mingwei had left on the path of ascension, it was hard for her to imagine what could make Zhao Mingwei worry.
"Come with me."
The Goddess of Holy Light nodded slightly and was pulled by Zhao Mingwei all the way to the destroyed dojo.
The dojo was the source of the explosion of dark energy just now. When the Goddess of Holy Light passed the onlooking Holy Spirits under Zhao Mingwei's lead, she finally saw the humans living in this world.
Ye Linna didn't lie down obediently. She sat up stubbornly and used the Qi in her body to expel the power of ghosts and gods that was trying to invade her body.
She was halfway to success. The power of ghosts and gods around her ankle was somewhat suppressed by Ye Linna's Qi, but the price was that the Qi in her body was overdrawn.
"Master, who is she?" Ye Linna raised her head and looked warily at the Goddess of Holy Light that Zhao Mingwei had brought over.
Master?
Did this Holy Spirit take in a human disciple?
The Goddess of Holy Light sensed Ye Linna's vigilant gaze and tried her best to put on a holy smile on her face.
"I am the Goddess of Holy Light, Ge Wei. Your master entrusted me to treat your injuries … Can I take a look at your injuries?" the Goddess of Holy Light asked.
Although Ye Linna was still very wary of this woman who had suddenly appeared, she cooperated and pulled open her trousers to reveal her smooth ankle.
Under such circumstances, Ye Linna could only puff up her cheeks slightly in protest.
The Goddess of Holy Light carefully reached out and held Ye Linna's slender calf.
"The dark power of the gods that devours gods …" The Goddess of Holy Light looked at the power of ghosts and gods entrenched around Ye Linna's ankle with a somewhat troubled expression.
"Even you can't cure it?" Zhao Mingwei asked the Goddess of Holy Light while kneeling on one knee.
"I can cure the injuries caused by this power, but expelling this power … I'm afraid I can't. It will instead devour the divine power in my body," the Goddess of Holy Light said dejectedly.
This was the domineering aspect of the power of the gods. Unless the injury was cut off, there were very few ways in the entire star chart that could heal the injuries caused by the gods.
The power of the gods was even more of a piece of cake for the power of the gods.
"Master, I can expel this bit of ghost energy."
The Qi in Ye Linna's body had already recovered a little. Zhao Mingwei didn't reply. He just held Ye Linna's hand and gave some of his Qi to her.
This was a test for his disciple.
"Thank you."
Zhao Mingwei knew that Ye Linna's body would be injured if she used too much Qi in her body, so the Goddess of Holy Light should be able to heal her injuries in time.
The Goddess of Holy Light's hand overflowed with holy light, and the Qi leaking out of Ye Linna's body began to corrode the ghostly power on her ankle. The Goddess of Holy Light was using her own holy light to suppress the ghostly power on Ye Linna's ankle.
In the end, the ghost energy was completely eliminated by the Goddess of Holy Light and Ye Linna, but the skin on Ye Linna's ankle was still an unhealthy dark purple.
The Goddess of Holy Light began to heal the wounds on Ye Linna's body. Ye Linna, on the other hand, used up all her strength and fell asleep against Zhao Mingwei.
"Her body is being corroded by the power of the gods. It's the power in your body."
When the Goddess of Holy Light examined Ye Linna's body, she realized that the Qi in Ye Linna's body was not easy to control.
"Yes, so I need to find someone to heal her. Can you stay here?" Zhao Mingwei threw another super straight ball at the Goddess of Holy Light.
"Stay … stay here, Holy Spirit, I'm afraid …"
"It's still possible."
Another voice answered Zhao Mingwei on behalf of the Goddess of Holy Light. It was the Divine Spear Alma.
The Divine Spear Alma followed Boss Yin into the dilapidated Taoist temple.
"Lord Alma, I can't stay here for long. I must return to the Sanctuary of Order." The Goddess of Holy Light would never compromise when it came to the safety of her believers.
"Don't be in such a hurry. You can go back at any time, but let's take a look at the living environment first. I know you're worried. I'm worried too."
The Divine Spear Alma turned his gaze to Caffeine, who was in the Holy Spirit. He could clearly see the ghost energy hidden in Caffeine's body.
"Holy Spirit, I thought you could control your power well after locking it in shackles, but it seems that someone has learned how to break the shackles."
The Divine Spear Alma's words directly exposed the way most Players controlled their skills and power.
"But after breaking the shackles, some little fellows can't control their power at all. You should keep the shackles on!
Otherwise … "
Before the other Holy Spirits could speak, the Divine Spear Alma suddenly took out a handgun and aimed it at Caffeine. The moment the trigger was pulled, the bullet fired from the handgun hit Caffeine's chest.
Caffeine didn't lose any HP, but his MP suddenly decreased rapidly. Instead, the shadows of the six ghosts in Caffeine's body suddenly swarmed out and pounced on Alma.
"Boss Caffeine?
This NPC is now an ally! "
"I didn't use any skills!
These ghosts are coming out on their own again! "
Caffeine looked at the six ghosts that roared out of his body and charged at the Divine Spear Alma … He seemed to be in a panic.
However, the shadows of the six ghosts were quickly dispersed by the Divine Spear Alma's six bullets. Not long after they dispersed, Caffeine's HP was instantly halved. She then raised her gun and aimed at Caffeine again.
The moment another bullet was fired, Caramel stood in front of Caffeine and used the Moonlight Sword in her hand to cut off Alma's bullet aimed at Caffeine.
"Are you alright?"
Caramel looked at Caffeine behind her. Caffeine was already kneeling on the ground, exhausted. The Death Flame Ghost behind him hugged Caffeine as if it was hugging him.
"I'm fine … I just feel really tired. I don't know what's going on either. My skills just came out of nowhere!
My MP has been reduced a lot too. "
Caffeine half-knelt on the ground and panted heavily.
"Control your power!
Aren't the seven ghosts supposed to listen to your orders?
Isn't it too embarrassing that you can't even control your own skills? "Caramel immediately reminded him.
Caffeine calmed himself down. He clenched his teeth and communicated with his ghosts. The six ghosts that were a little agitated at first retreated back into his body under Caffeine's comfort.
"I feel better again?
Like I just ate a Snickers bar? "Caffeine looked at his hands in disbelief. The sudden feeling of energy was also very strange.
"It's still a clumsy initial control. It seems like I've overestimated you Holy Spirits. If you can't completely control your powers, it's best to lock them up," Alma said.
"You seem to be very concerned about our growth, Ms. Alma." Director Yin had been secretly observing Alma's reaction after coming to the Holy Spirit City.
She was supposed to be one of the final Bosses of the Path of Ascension, the enemy of the Holy Spirits. However, Alma's attitude after coming to the Holy Spirit City was more like a teacher on an exchange trip than an enemy scout.
"Whether you grow or not has nothing to do with me, but your powers are very dangerous. If I can't completely control them, how can I entrust these wandering gods to you?"
Alma's words not only stunned Director Yin, but even Jiang Qiao was stunned.
"Do you really think the Perpetual Sanctum doesn't know what you're trying to do?"
Alma glanced at the confused expressions on the faces of all the Holy Spirits present. "Subvert the social order of the Perpetual Sanctum?
This is quite a brilliant method. Also, I can guess what you want to do by plundering the Gods in the Sanctuary of Order, but have you thought about what will happen after you succeed? "
"Do you mean you're here to persuade us to surrender?"
Caramel asked Alma. He hadn't forgotten his agreement with Thorne. He was going to break into the Perpetual Sanctum to save him!
"Persuade us to surrender?
No, I can help you achieve your goal, but the premise is that you have the right to bear all of this. The Perpetual Sanctum provided the gods they took in with a way to support their broken plane, allowing their thousands of believers to live in a broken plane. A large number of the Perpetual Sanctum's troops are still fighting the spread of the Void Zergs at the frontline, but you?
What can you do after you replace these two Sanctums? "
"We have no intention of replacing these two Sanctums. We only need a certain number of gods to enter our city, and the Perpetual Sanctum will no longer see us as enemies. Instead, I'm very curious … Why would the ruler of the Perpetual Sanctum come out to help us?" Director Yin asked.
Alma did not answer Boss Yin. She pulled open the sleeves of her clothes, and the armor covering her arm suddenly disappeared, revealing a part of her arm.
On Alma's arm … dark purple Void Corrosion was slowly flashing.
"Let me tell you a secret. Do you really think the Perpetual Sanctum is still under the control of the ruler?
The Holy Spirits. "
