Chapter 433

Chapter 433: Twin Gods Church

"What’s going on…" As Karoso just stepped out, he was greeted by the sight of a battle between two ninth-tier peaks, "So Tom is at the ninth level?"

"Yeah, I was just as confused when I came out," Teresa said. "Why are you two so slow… Wait, how did you both come out together?"

The two of them were covered in some sand, making it look like they had been together.

"There was a small problem, nothing serious," Karoso said, as 『』 stared at him in disbelief. He couldn’t help but feel amused; should I really share this everywhere? I’m not that bored.

[Teacher 『』’s look has a problem.]

[This is not a problem; this is a story!]

[What really happened inside?]

[Hey, traitor, how dare you attack the master!]

[Hiss, Honey Karoso can’t really be becoming an adult, can they?]

[Boohoo, Honey Karoso, please don’t!]

[What does Teacher 『』’s smell taste like?]

[Wait, what happened between Honey Karoso and 『』 is the same as what happened between me and Honey Karoso!]

[Those two NPCs are so strong, how come we didn’t meet any when we played?]

[With the strategy group present, we really didn’t encounter them.]

"I was forced in by those two." 『』 said seriously, "Then Tom is not simple."

Teresa pulled Karoso, and Karoso sat beside her.

Teresa leaned close to Karoso’s ear and whispered, "You said He is a God, and now I believe it."

"So powerful," Karoso said with a serious expression.

"Ninth-tier… is it really that strong?" 『』 furrowed her brow. "I saw Master Norma fight before, and he was much weaker than these two."

"Strong ninth-tier and tenth-tier demi-gods are not much different," Karoso explained.

"Like… you, who was possessed by the God?" 『』 raised an eyebrow.

Karoso, at peak ninth-tier, had easily defeated the tenth-tier Modred, and it was still fresh in her memory.

"About that," Karoso nodded.

Whether it was the boss card with critical hits at ninth-tier peak, or Tige, both had the ability to challenge the God of War.

A rank nine like Norma can only be a third mate on Tige’s ship.

"What about our soldiers? If they fight like this, this road won’t work," Teresa said with worry.

"Tom, finish the battle quickly!" 『』 shouted loudly.

"Hiss!" Teresa contributed a little to global warming, "They seem like gods!"

"That shouldn’t delay our matters," 『』 said quite casually.

Even if they were gods, 『』 still couldn’t show Tom any respect…

……

"I am not my sister’s shadow!" Leona was filled with Moon Power, feeling extremely cold.

"The rules you understand are your sister’s; you have never seen the power of the source," Tom said as 『』 spoke, slowly raising his hand.

Suddenly, cards flew out of his box one by one.

"Hmph!" Leona gritted her teeth, "How do you know I will keep going like this?"

"If you don’t change soon, it will be too late." Tom said in a low voice.

"It’s none of your business!" Leona swung her shield at Tom’s face.

Bang!

A card flew in front of Tom, blocking her shield.

"So pathetic." Tom took a deep breath.

These past two days, he was constantly thinking about the way Karoso and the others fought, and the scene of 『』 making cards on-site.

This was just an advanced version of his alchemy, one could say it was from the same source.

Originally, there were heavy fogs in front of Tom, but now a broad road appeared before him.

Suddenly, Tom’s hands began to wave in the air.

Snap, snap…

The ground shook.

Piece by piece, precious materials buried in the graveyard appeared before Tom.

Even some treasures hidden very deep in this graveyard came to him.

Bang, bang, bang…

Some materials turned to powder, while others began to carve themselves. Countless souls wailed in the air, gradually turning into fragments, becoming the purest of souls.

A blank card appeared in front of Tom.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Tom waved his hand in the air, and one by one, the materials lined up to go into the card.

『』 and Karoso watched Tom make the card with great seriousness, feeling truly amazed inside.

Cards can be made like this?

Although it was Tom’s first time making a card, his process was incredibly expressive.

Unlike 『』’s sense of artistry, Tom’s card-making seemed to show the world how cards should be made.

It felt like the entire world was being energized by Tom.

"He is directly using the elements in the air, compressing them. This is possible? This person only looked once, but his understanding of cards far surpasses mine…" A mysterious aura appeared around 『』.

"Not only that, but he isn’t just using the power of this world; he is forcefully taking it, like drafting soldiers." Karoso’s eyes widened, "The rules can be controlled like this?"

For Tom’s performance, both of them had different understandings and gained different levels of insight.

Teresa originally did not understand at all, but when Karoso said Tom was forcefully recruiting, she began to try to understand.

……

"Don’t call me weak!" Leona looked at the graveyard in front of her and became more and more annoyed.

In this underground, I can’t borrow the power of the moon; otherwise…

Wait, why can’t I borrow it?

This is just because I am not strong enough; if I were strong enough, I could completely break through this underground world!

Boom!

Leona stopped attacking Tom; instead, she pointed her sword to the sky, and a dazzling blue light shot up, striking hard against the ceiling of the underground world.

Snap, snap…

Countless small stones fell from the sky.

But the sky here is not easy to break through; it is protected by the power of the rules.

Leona used all her strength, as if she wanted to pour all her Moon Power into it.

Gradually, a teleportation circle appeared in the air, and a beam of light descended from above, warming Leona.

Leona’s pupils narrowed.

Damn it, it’s not night, it’s daytime!

Buzz!

Tom finally created his first card.

[Name: Light of the Beginning]

[Category: Spell]

[Star Level: ?]

[Grade: God Card]

[Occupational Restriction: None]

[Description: When this light falls, all darkness will be extinguished.]

Whoosh!

Tom held the card, and a bright white light shone down on Leona.

"Ah…"

Her slightly dark skin quickly turned white, as if she was being purified.

"You should leave; you are not my match," Tom said in a low voice.

He felt as if he had stepped onto a path meant just for him.

Even though he was following 『』’s card-making method, he still felt this way.

Could it be that the fate stone I made through alchemy brought her to me, guiding my way?

Wait, that’s not right…

If she is here to guide me, that means this path has always existed in the world.

If this path exists in the world, then I shouldn’t be feeling this way.

Tom’s eyes became clearer and clearer.

No matter how unbelievable the truth is, after ruling out countless answers, there is only one truth.

Could it be that they come from the future, where a god interferes with the laws of cause and effect?

"Let’s skip the nonsense…"

The Moon Power inside Leona has been completely used up.

She had no strength to fight back against Tom at all.

But, seeing Tom unwilling to give in, her stubbornness arose.

Can’t receive Moon Power? Then I will borrow the power of the sun!

Buzz!

Suddenly, the power of the blazing sun surged wildly into Leona’s body.

"Are you crazy?" Tom’s face changed. "You will die if you use the completely opposite power!"

Tom quickly withdrew his attack, wanting to cut off Leona’s connection with Eternal Sun.

The moment Leona inhaled the power of the blazing sun, blood flowed from her seven orifices, and her hard body cracked.

In her mind, it was like watching a moving lantern.

Since she was little, her sister was like the perfect child of others.

With an incredible understanding, unbeatable luck, and consuming countless Magic Potions, she not only survived but became even stronger.

The first to become a god, with an almost invincible grace…

These deeply affected Leona.

Every time Leona’s mother saw Diana, she would glance at Leona with disappointment and then comfort her, saying, "Actually, you are not bad either."

Such a sound echoed throughout Leona’s entire childhood.

She vowed to follow in her sister’s footsteps, to become the one her mother admired and looked up to.

After a certain event, Leona became even more determined to uphold this belief.

It was an ordinary day when a deity’s Dependent came knocking at the door.

Leona watched in horror as the Dependent trampled her mother and slowly extracted her mother’s soul from her body, tearing it into pieces bit by bit.

When Diana arrived, she witnessed this scene.

In this situation, even Diana could not save Leona’s mother, for her soul was shattered, and Diana’s training was not in the laws of life and death.

In the end, Diana drove the Dependent away but did not kill him, as Leona pleaded with her to let her seek her own revenge.

At that moment, Leona’s thirst for power soared beyond the sky.

If I had power, I could protect my mother.

If I had power, I could take revenge myself.

If I had power, I could even kill the god who commanded the Dependent…

Leona reached the ninth rank, achieving almost her current strength. She took her revenge and killed the person who had killed her mother.

But she still harbored deeper hatred, hatred for that god.

Because she suffered a little loss in front of Diana, she went to take revenge on Diana’s family…

I can only say that those who become gods in their homeland are too low-level.

Those outer gods, like Surtr and the Lord of Eternity, would never do such boring things.

Later, Leona targeted her sister again and continued to move forward.

The sight of her sister’s back has become a spell in her heart.

She wished she could win against her sister just once, but chasing her sister’s footsteps only made the distance between them grow further apart.

Her sister likes Tom, and she wants to take him for herself. She wants to win against her sister just once, no matter what it takes.

And now, she can’t even take a person away…

Am I really never able to win, even once?

Tom’s words hurt Leona deeply; now, there is no trace of Diana in her eyes.

She thought, "One is a ninth-tier, and one lives off my sister; how can he refuse me?"

Why have I trained so long, only to be almost the same as him, or even worse?

The chill of Moon Power has reached its peak.

The Moon Power inside Leona has completely disappeared, leaving only the Eternal Sun’s power that nearly melted her.

On the edge of life and death, Leona seems to have found peace.

My life has truly been sad…

I have always been someone else’s shadow, constantly following others’ steps, and slowly losing myself.

I came to chase Tom, not because I like him, but because I want to win.

Is my longing and pursuit of my sister truly my mother’s wish? Perhaps it is my own desire to win, or maybe I simply don’t want to lose…

If this is the end of my life, then it really is… dull.

I seem to have never lived for myself, never done what I wanted to do, and I don’t even know what I want to do.

My life is too monotonous.

If my soul is not broken, after I am reborn, I don’t want to chase anyone anymore. I want to have dreams, do what I want to do, and I don’t want to set my own path based on someone else’s child. I don’t want to be tangled with a man just because of winning or losing.

At that moment, Leona felt a wave of confusion, as if she saw something different.

The power of Eternal Sun seems to reach the source of strength!

The peak of darkness is light, and the peak of light is darkness.

The peak of Moon Power… isn’t it Eternal Sun?

Why didn’t I notice this before?

Buzz!

At that moment, flames spread all over Leona, and her blue armor turned into a golden-red color.

The intense flames seemed to burn inside her body.

She formed a subtle connection with the Eternal Sun in the sky.

"This power…" Leona not only survived but her strength was growing stronger.

Tom saw this and smiled slightly.

He dared not be reckless again and quickly handled his cards.

Buzz!

The power of the Eternal Sun collided with the power of the Primordial Light, creating a degree of annihilation.

At that moment, the two looked at each other with very clear eyes.

Whoosh…

Tom put away his card, and Leona set aside the power of the Eternal Sun.

Their figures slowly faded away until they disappeared.

……

Looking at the two people who had vanished, the War God Divine Seal on Karoso began to glow, and mysterious runes appeared around him.

Flame, Eternal Sun…

A ball of fire suddenly appeared in Karoso’s hand.

The reason life can exist on the continent is that the Eternal Sun is very important.

Eternal Sun also represents life.

The death I understood before still represents life.

Without life, where does death come from?

Life and death, intertwined and unclear.

Buzz!

Karoso was surrounded by flames.

He learned to forcefully channel the power of elements from Tom and saw part of the Eternal Sun’s true form.

Karoso grasped some of the laws of the Eternal Sun.

Now, no one would doubt that he is a follower of the Dawn, for this is the purest power of the Dawn’s laws, just as he has grasped the purest power of death held by the Lord of Eternity.

Not just Karoso, 『』 threw out a card and began to draw in the air, wanting to learn from Tom and create a card with the power of the heavens and the earth!
