I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1565

Chapter 1565: Chapter 1566: Promotion Chapter 1565: Chapter 1566: Promotion Song Jian seemed to have realized something, but his eyes were still filled with a bewildered look, involuntarily extending his right hand forward.

Boom!

A silent roar erupted in Song Jian's mind, and suddenly, before his eyes, a River of Time appeared, where all of history was laid bare before him, revealing its secrets one by one.

All of this was unknown to Basford, who merely observed the flames that surrounded Song Jian slowly dissipating, his Domain Power fading to a mere whisper, prompting him to sigh inwardly and turn all his attention to the statue of the Goddess.

By now, the flames had crawled up half of the Goddess's arm. Although the speed of the spread was slow, its advance was steady, and it was only a matter of time before the entire statue would be engulfed in flame.

“Desecration!”

The enormous statue, raising its right hand sword, pointed at Basford, and a grand voice instantly filled the entire temple.

Basford felt a tightness on his body and an inexplicable sense of oppression in his heart, the energy circulating inside him slowing, his strength rapidly draining away as if struck by an unknown attack, enveloped by a shadowy presence.

“How could this be…” Basford furrowed his brows. Unknown to him, his attribute pane now displayed a “Desecrator” debuff, which comprehensively lowered his stats and included a continuous bleeding effect. Without timely removal, it wouldn't take long for Basford to die from the steady blood loss.

What was most terrifying was that if Basford died under the effect of the Desecrator debuff, his soul would not find release, and he would become a slave to the Goddess's statue.

Demi-God Level premonition made Basford instantly tense up, feeling that if he didn't do something soon, his life would indeed be in danger!

“Flame!” Basford bellowed, his entire body transforming into a mass of flame.

He wasn't transforming into a fire giant but into Flame Essence. The Flame Essence had no offensive capabilities but possessed a miraculous effect to heal oneself and remove negative states.

However, this skill came with a risk, as it left him without any ability to attack and reduced his defense to zero, meaning it could only be used in relatively safe conditions.

After transforming into Flame Essence, Basford finally felt a bit of relief, his Vitality Points slowly recovering, but the feeling of being shrouded in shadows never diminished.

“Desecration, desecration, could it be that I have been branded a Desecrator, which is why this is happening?” Basford's heart sank, realizing that even assuming the form of Flame Essence couldn't remove the “Desecrator” debuff.

A Desecrator is a sinner, and as long as the divine remains, the status of Desecrator cannot be erased.

“If that's the case, then you must be destroyed!” With resolve, Basford ceased the Flame Essence skill, reverting to the form of the fire giant and charging at the Goddess's statue.

In his fire giant form, Basford, in terms of height, was only a head shorter than the Goddess statue, making them evenly matched opponents.

By this time, the flames on the statue's arm had spread to the shoulder, the whole limb charred black, rendered utterly unusable.

Two towering giants moved with what seemed to be sluggish motions, yet in actuality, their speed was extremely fast, leaving no time to dodge. One could only rely on one's own body to endure the hits, as fist met flesh and the resounding booms were incessant.

At this point, Basford had completely disregarded Song Jian standing at the entrance of the temple. In his eyes, Song Jian's frenzied actions were tantamount to seeking death. Having his Domain Power totally consumed would surely damage his foundation, and such a being no longer warranted Basford's concern.

Right then, Song Jian had fully immersed himself in his own world, where a giant Infinity Symbol glowed with a golden brilliance in his mind.

Each strand of the golden light brought Song Jian insights, immersing him in the contemplation of time, and his Time Domain, which had burned itself out, seemed to experience a spring of rebirth, sprouting a green tinge from its roots.

Boom~
A thunderous sound came from within Song Jian's body, as if a hammer were tirelessly forging something.

On the other side, the battle between Basford and the statue of the Goddess had escalated to an intense phase. Now, half of the Goddess's body burned with pale blue flames, while on the other side, the verdant Divine Power continuously resisted the flames' corrosion. For some unknown reason, the verdant Divine Power seemed utterly ineffective against the pale blue flames.

Basford burst into laughter, “It turns out you are only a deity in name, not worth mentioning. The Divine you possess is not even comparable to mine, a Demi-God Level being. What right do you have to call yourself a deity?”

The Flame Giant opened his arms wide, enveloping the Goddess's statue in a tight embrace as he transformed into a ball of Flame, merging with the pale blue flames. In an instant, the Goddess's statue was engulfed by fire, burning fiercely.

Basford's laughter, filled with triumphant delight, resonated throughout the entire temple, while the statue of the Goddess let out a loud scream before crumbling into ruins.

A wisp of the Goddess of Harvest's fallen Divine Thought, although still possessing the power of a deity, in truth had very little Divine left, even less than that of the Demi-God Level Basford.

Next to the debris that was once the statue of the Goddess, a pale golden crystal the size of a fingernail slowly emerged. This pale golden crystal, with the tricolored Divine Light dancing on its surface, was clearly an item of divinity.

Basford's eyes lit up as he chuckled loudly, snatching up the tricolor glowing object. This was the key item he needed to ascend to a true deity's level. As long as he could completely integrate this Divine Crystal, he would undoubtedly advance to become a true Divine being.

As for the other items dropped by the crumbling statue of the Goddess, Basford viewed them as worthless, tossing them aside like trash.

Looking at the Divine Crystal in his hand, Basford's face showed a moment of hesitation. Merging with the crystal was an exceedingly important task that must not be disturbed. Now that the fallen Divine Thought of the Goddess of Harvest had been extinguished, it was an opportune time to integrate with the Divine Crystal.

“Do you plan to ascend to a deity's level right here? I don't think that's a good idea!”

Behind Basford, a figure emerged. Turning his head, he saw Song Jian standing at the temple's entrance, looking at him with a smile. At that moment, a tricolored Divine Light appeared behind Song Jian's head, and the air emanating from him grew even more profound.

Seeing the tricolored Divine Light behind Song Jian's head, which coalesced into a divine rune that Basford couldn't comprehend, Basford's face immediately darkened.

“I would never have thought you could actually advance to a Demi-God Level being…” Basford said in a low voice, his heart filled with shock.
