Chapter 789: The Ancient Battle
Chapter 789: The Ancient Battle
"This is... the power of the Deities?"
"Impossible!"
"So far, only our people have unearthed information about becoming Deities in the War Cemetery. This is a unique secret! How could there be a second Deity in this borderland world?"
The Deviators exclaimed in shock.
As Lindsey's mood lifted, the others were left in disarray, having just packed up their camp.
The path of Awakened believers and Deities.
It was a new and emerging 'industry' in a future so distant that it belonged to the era of Kang Song.
In this era, on this land.
There wasn't even the existence of Awakened believers.
The only related information was the secret unearthed by the Deviators from an ancient cemetery.
The records of the Deities were remnants of the previous era, secrets of the Primordial Deities.
So when the Feathered Serpent appeared.
These Deviators inevitably fell into a state of shock, unable to distinguish the unique aura of the Evil Deity. They only felt that the secrets of their headquarters had been leaked!
"Leader, what... what should we do now?"
"Forget about the City of Law! We need to return to the Great Rift immediately and inform the Sons of Darkness about the emergence of a new Deity."
"This is the most important task at hand. Everything and everyone must make way for this!"
The leading Deviator made a swift decision.
But as they turned to leave this remote world, so remote that it didn't even have a name.
"Ah!"
A loud boom followed a cry of despair.
In that instant, as the Deviators made their decision, Lindsey chose to strike without hesitation.
Combining the effects of Storm Archer and Sunflame Archer, he fired arrows that surpassed the speed of sound, automatically seeking out targets with astonishing power.
Under the surprise attack, Lindsey's arrows found their marks, striking the Deviators' vital points.
The strongest among these scouting Deviators was only at the Fifth Stage, no match for Lindsey in a one-on-one battle.
With all his strength, he launched a sneak attack.
In the blink of an eye, these Deviators were devastated by the terrifying arrows, their lives reduced to mere fragments. As they struggled and wailed,
A seed was thrown to the ground, taking root and sprouting at an unimaginable speed, its greedy roots reaching out towards the Deviators.
Lindsey had thrown a Withering Kingflower seed.
In just a moment, the incapacitated Deviators were all transformed into fertilizer.
"Ah, what a pity."
"If I had the chance, I'd love to hear more from you—this is information from the future, a rare opportunity indeed."
Lindsey shook his head in regret.
He had wanted to pursue the Feathered Serpent in the sky, but seeing the lifeless bodies of the Deviators, he suddenly remembered Kang Song's words.
Items related to the law of time.
Most of them are just time silhouettes, unable to truly change the past or future.
But exceptions exist—the extremely rare Awakened of the Eighth Stage and the distant Ninth Stage.
They possess the clear ability to influence the past and future.
"..."
A question popped into Lindsey's mind.
Does Clearsky have this ability?
Clearsky, the ruler of one of the four elements—Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire—who had survived since ancient times, and was also the Nature Spirit, the highest concept among Elemental Beings.
Could she possess such a power?
Lindsey hesitated at this thought.
He then approached and began to investigate using his own methods.
Material from Prey —— Rotten Tumor
Looking at the material in his hand, Lin Sai's heart sank:
"If this is just a chaotic time shadow, it can neither influence the past nor interfere with the future. So, I shouldn't be able to gain anything by collecting resources here..."
"No, that's not right!"
"Thanks to the influence of the Codex of Human Wisdom, my skills can achieve the miracle of creation from nothing. Even back in Black Mountain, as long as I had the corresponding level of material, I could create ammunition to eliminate a seventh-stage dragon beast. This ability is definitely not something a regular Awakened can possess."
Lin Sai scratched his head in frustration.
The information in his hands was too little, and he couldn't make a proper judgment about the current temporal chaos.
Finally, he came to a conclusion.
He could only give up on the issue and continue heading towards the location of the Feathered Serpent.
"Seizing the present is definitely right."
" No matter what—take you down!"
Lin Sai rapidly approached the Feathered Serpent's location while organizing his gear and skills, formulating a plan to kill the creature.
A seventh-stage monster was already incredibly dangerous.
Not to mention the Feathered Serpent, which was a being with a deity status.
Although Lin Sai had countless special skills and equipment to support him, if he wasn't cautious enough during the battle, he could be killed in return, a very real possibility.
"First—launch a surprise attack. I must not draw this thing's attention. The Silent blade enhancement ensures that the first attack won't be detected."
"Then—deal damage to the enemy. The Mythic Arrow, when it hits a deity-class creature, will forcibly alter its myth, causing severe injuries or even death."
Lin Sai readied his longbow and arrow, entering a combat-ready state.
He used various skills to optimize his condition, waiting for the Feathered Serpent to enter his range before entering Focus Mode and firing a cold arrow!
"..."
"Huh?"
As Lin Sai continued to approach, he suddenly noticed something amiss with the Feathered Serpent.
The sky-bound demon deity was wailing in pain.
In fact, the Feathered serpent wasn't aimlessly releasing its essence in the air; it was in a battle!
"Battle?"
"Being drawn in here, the Feathered Serpent should also want to escape. It wouldn't randomly engage in combat with someone—unless they have a grudge, or the person it attacked knows a way to escape the temporal chaos."
Lin Sai quickly considered the situation, opening the map.
Then, his expression changed in surprise:
"Ah?"
"This marker... is green!"
The enemy entangled with the Feathered Serpent appeared as a friendly target on the map.
Lin Sai carefully observed the battle between the Feathered Serpent and its opponent.
The human on the ground seemed to lack the ability to fly, so they remained on the ground, constantly launching furious attacks against the Feathered Serpent, putting them at a disadvantage in terms of mobility.
However, in terms of combat prowess, they had a clear advantage. With each clash, they could leave a bloody, terrifying wound on the Feathered Serpent.
Lin Sai tried to discern the source of the opponent's skills.
He ran through the Awakened he knew, but in the end, could only match the feeling of a Law Paladin with the human before him.
Lin Sai's expression turned surprised:
"There was definitely no one like this near the Core Pillar before."
"So, he is an ancient Awakened."
"An ancestor of the Law Paladin!?"
