The Highest Bounty Chapter 200

Gu Ding told the entire story in detail on the Golden Eagle while Liliath and the others listened with an astonished look on their faces.

Liliath started analyzing the situation. “Why do I feel that everything that had happened on Jerr was like a set of dominoes falling over. If Gu Ding had not visited Perrett, none of this would have happened. You were identified by the prison warden, Thorso, because you were at Leoben Prison. That had caused the chain, which was a god item, to be awakened, attracting the descent of a deity. This is exactly like that legendary story of 'A Murder Case Triggered By A Prison Visit'.”

“Lili, I think you really should apply for a copywriting job at Mideon Media Company,” Gu Ding laughed bitterly.

Mideon Media Company was the largest information dissemination company within the cosmic sea. They had more than 50% of information channels within the palm of their hands in the cosmic sea and had working connections with different power players in the cosmic sea. Every bounty announcement from the Federal Government was handled by them. They had employees stationed specifically with the Federal Government who were in charge of planning and editing new bounty warrants to be disseminated every day. Mideon Media company played a big part in announcing to the world every time a new bounty was announced.

Liliath's original laughing face suddenly turned grim at the mention of Mideon.

“Gu Ding, of all the things to mention, why would you bring up Mideon… Mideon Media Company was established by the Harris family ancestors more than three hundred thousand years ago. The boss of that company is the current head of the Harris family, who is also Liliath's second grandfather. Even though there is no hard evidence, there is no doubt the current head of the Harris family is involved with the death of Lili's parents,” Neptune had discovered Liliath's true identity after meeting Liliath's grandfather.

This had not crossed Gu Ding's mind. Ever since meeting Liliath's grandfather, all he knew was that Liliath's real name was Olivia and she was the descendent of some noble family. As for what this noble family did, it did not occur to him to inquire.

Neptune had found out about Liliath's family name and the attack that had befallen Liliath's parents through Liliath's real name and her grandfather's name.

“Captain, you said that the deity's will projection had crumbled immediately in front of you instead of fading away slowly and disappearing quietly?” Elsa asked with some curiosity. Her question came just in time, turning the conversation away from Mideon.

“That's right. He crumbled. After his collapse, I absorbed some fragments of his energy before it completely dissipated and managed to break through to Rank 6,” Gu Ding had hidden the fact that he had absorbed all of the energy fragments because this information was too shocking.

“If he had crumbled, it would only happen if he had taken a very powerful physical blow. However, the fragments would usually explode everywhere if it was an explosive form of crumbling. Another form of crumbling would be caused by the spirit energy being annihilated. Without the guidance of a spirit energy, the will projection would crumble automatically. What you had experienced should be the second situation. If that was the situation, the attack must be from someone who had a spirit energy that surpassed the existence of that deity. Otherwise, the spirit energy would not have been annihilated so completely. As long as that deity's will projection had a shred of spirit energy left, his will projection would not have crumbled. At the most, it would just result in a battle with a will projection without enough spirit energy to drive it,” Elsa seemed to have quite an understanding of deities to have explained things so matter-of-factly.

“Elsa, do the Vikings have deities?” Liliath could not help asking. She had never seen the projection of a deity before and asked enviously when she heard Elsa explain the details.

Elsa nodded. “There used to be two deities who are the same generation as my dad, but one of them has fallen. My dad is the only one left. That is why my dad is the most powerful in my tribe besides a few elders who have gone into seclusion.”

“If your dad is a deity, those who are more powerful than your dad should be deities as well, right?” Gu Ding blurted the question.

Elsa nodded very seriously. “Yup. Even though they are deities, there is still a difference between powerful and weak deities. My dad is a Lower Ranking Deity, the weakest rank among the deities.”

“Lower Ranking Deity? If so, there should also be Medium Ranking Deity and Upper Ranking Deity, right?” Gu Ding deduced out of habit.

Elsa nodded. “That right. Lower Ranking, Medium Ranking, Upper Ranking, and Ultimate Ranking. That's the sequence of a deity's power. Every rank of a deity has five Star Rankings for their combat effectiveness, which is rated from 1-Star to 5-Stars. Every time a deity breaks through a star ranking, their combat effectiveness will be enhanced by ten times. Every breakthrough for each major ranking, their combat effectiveness will be enhanced by a hundred times. That is why only a monster is capable of bypassing any those ranks and slaughtering a deity, simply because a Lower Ranking 5-Star Deity's combat effectiveness would be one hundred times weaker than a Medium Ranking 1-Star Deity.”

“Isn't it too early for everyone to start thinking about deities? Deities are known as deities because they are no longer human beings from all perspectives. Besides Taboo Energy, all of your abilities are considered useless when facing deities. That is why only a monster powerhouse possessing taboo energy has the ability to slaughter a deity before they ascend to deity level,” Neptune suddenly said.

“All abilities are considered useless? How about Ultimate Arts?” Gu Ding was taken aback by this as he asked worriedly.

“It won't be of use. The maximum level of Ultimate Arts is only at Level 13. Once you have achieved demigod level, it has basically no effect,” this news brought by Neptune was a bolt from the blue.

“When I've achieved god level, my Ultimate Arts and other abilities would still be useful against enemies, right?” Gu Ding found it a little difficult to digest this fact.

“First, it is far more difficult than anything you've ever imagined to achieve god level. This should not be hard to figure out by looking at so many lords of 5-star Cosmic Nations stuck at only demigod level, and that is in a situation where a lord of a cosmic nation who has resources to help more than thousands of ordinary people become demigod level powerhouses.”

“Secondly, if you successfully achieve god level, the first thing that will happen after that ascension is the remolding of both your physical body and soul at the same time. Your physical body will be replaced by God Source and you will completely lose all biological aspects of yourself. You would no longer have any cells, no heart, no brain, no bones, no nerves… You will turn into a completely new life form. While that change is happening, your soul and soul space will also go through a transformation. The soul will turn from a shapeless form into a physical object and your soul space will become a reality… Your taboo energy will be the only ability left while all your other abilities will cease to exist. As your body will be replaced by God Source, mortal powers will be nothing but useless attacks to the physical body as there will be no effects from them.”

Neptune's explanation had given everyone a new understanding of Gods and deities. Gu Ding finally understood why Neptune had claimed deities to not be human beings. It was because they have left the limitation of their physical husks behind to become an energy being.

As Gu Ding and the others were discussing Gods and deities, a wave of important guests arrived on Jerr.

Noami had brought along a ten-person team to welcome them at the harbor when they found out that not only the chief commander will be there, but also the marshal and His Highness The Lord.

It was not long before the spaceship descended on the planet. It was a purple and gold-colored Phoenix. The top of Phoenix had a golden phoenix crown mounted on it, making the spaceship look noble and elegant.

There were only two Phoenixes in the whole of Faye Cosmic Nation. Everyone recognized this particular Phoenix, which belonged to His Highness The Lord.

The spaceship quickly harbored and the hatch door opened. Two men and two women walked out of it.

The two women walked at the front. The one on the right was tall and slender and wore a Navy-blue lady's suit. Her bright red lips were the most attention-grabbing feature on her. She was helping the woman on her left walk down slowly.

The woman on the left was covered up in a long, black robe. Even her head was covered with the hooded robe, hiding her entire face inside the hood. If someone were to pull her hood off, they would see a clean looking face. There was only some colorless lip balm spread slightly on her lips, but there was something attractive about her.

There were many people gathered at the harbor. They did not really have a clear idea of which important people had arrived. Although, there were a few sharper eyes among the crowd who had spotted the rank insignia on the uniforms of the chief commander and the marshal.

“One of those two is a general and the other is a marshal, but who are those two women walking at the front? Even the marshal has to give way to them…” Someone deduced with uncertainty.

“That's Marshal Nimitz. I saw him in a news projection a few days ago!” Another person had recognized Nimitz.

“That black-robed woman's height… Could that be Her Highness The Lord [TN: Identity of the Lord had been kept secret with the use of 'His Highness The Lord' previously from the author by refraining mention of gender]?!” Someone in the crowd burst out shouting.

He had not expected his assumption to be correct. All he did was make a bold guess.

Elizabeth hugged herself tight within the robes, fearful of being recognized. She was the lord of a cosmic nation and would always be in the spotlight no matter where she went. This time, all she wanted to do was witness for herself any trace that was left behind by the deity's battle. It was not a political visit and she did not wish for anyone to pay any attention to this.

The marshal and the others were highly opposed to her leaving the capital planet as it was not really safe, but this time, Midea was on the same page as she was.

“Missy, you shouldn't be heading over because of your safety. However, this battlefield was left behind by a deity. It could be a blessing for Missy to obtain some form of enlightenment and successfully attain a breakthrough to god level,” Midea voiced out her view candidly. Becoming a god sometimes requires a timely opportunity. When one is at the right time and place, things will happen naturally for them.

Noami was stunned when she saw Elizabeth and her gaze turned towards the front unblinkingly.

All four passengers got off the spaceship and Elizabeth walked directly towards Noami. She stopped when she got in front of Noami. There was a slight smile on her face as she asked, “You're Mushroom, aren't you? Your chief commander has mentioned you before.”

“Your Highness The Lord!” It was the first time Noami had met the Lord in person. She started to feel nervous.

“Don't be nervous. You can lead me directly to the battlefield,” Elizabeth could tell that Noami was nervous and tried to calm Noami down with her words while also proposing Noami to take her immediately to the battlefield.
