Chapter 1316 Battle of Trickery
“To deal with Loki, the most troublesome thing is that he can use ‘trickery’ to constantly rewrite history and turn the tide of battle… With just us few people, trying to deplete his divine power so he can’t use ‘trickery’ anymore is basically impossible. So, there’s only one method left…”
“Use ‘trickery’ to change back the history I’ve rewritten?” Loki, standing in mid-air, guessed the method Si Xiaonan was referring to and sneered.
“Xiaonan, I am the God of Trickery, while you are merely my proxy… Even if you push the God Ruins to its limit, how far back in history can you rewrite?
Ten seconds? Twenty seconds?
Do you think you can be faster than me?”
Si Xiaonan didn’t respond. She simply opened her mouth silently, her tongue sliding between her teeth, and a silver needle automatically ejected.
“Ghost God Inducer?” An Qingyu frowned upon seeing this. “You…”
“To defeat Loki, I must elevate my ‘trickery’ to a level close to his… This is the only way.” Si Xiaonan replied calmly, as if she had anticipated this situation long ago.
Si Xiaonan bit down, and the silver needle plunged into her flesh. The next moment, her realm began to rise at a visibly rapid pace!
As her mental power erupted, Si Xiaonan instantly had one foot across the human ceiling barrier, just a hairline away from the human peak… But this hairline stopped Si Xiaonan’s advance.
The human ceiling is a threshold. Having one foot across this threshold is the limit that a normal human can reach using the Ghost God Inducer. Even Lin Qiye could only barely cross this threshold with the additional support of soul bearing or the [Holy Grail]’s wish.
But to contend with Loki, this alone was not enough.
Si Xiaonan stood in the raging wind of mental power, her black hair dancing in the gale. She took a deep breath and shouted behind her:
“Leng Xuan!!”
Leng Xuan, who was being treated by Upper Evil Association members, broke free from their hands without hesitation, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain as he sprinted toward Si Xiaonan’s position!
With his last trembling arm, he took out an emblem from his chest and threw it forcefully toward Si Xiaonan!
Snap—!
Si Xiaonan caught the emblem like lightning, and a silver needle ejected from the side of the emblem, piercing into her skin!
The second “Ghost God Inducer”!
Black threads began weaving around Si Xiaonan, intertwining into a “trickery” that started deceiving her body.
The Ghost God Inducer can only be used once in a person’s lifetime.
This is because it works by using a secret drug to temporarily overdraw all of a person’s potential in a short time, achieving the result of crossing realms. For ordinary people, even if they inserted a second Ghost God Inducer during the effective period of the first one, it wouldn’t increase their realm further because their potential had already been completely exhausted by the first Ghost God Inducer.
A depleted body, no matter how much it’s overdrawn, cannot possibly mobilize more potential.
But Si Xiaonan was an exception.
She could use “trickery” to deceive her own body, making the lost potential temporarily return, allowing it to be stimulated a second time for a doubled effect!
The power of two Ghost God Inducers doubly overdrew all of Si Xiaonan’s vitality and potential. Her surging mental power violently broke through that threshold, completely stepping into the human ceiling realm and soaring straight to the peak!
Even among the many human ceiling experts alive today, only Guan Zai and Yuzuri Takeshiro were at this level.
Sensing the terrifying aura from Si Xiaonan, Loki’s brow slightly furrowed.
He snorted coldly, and countless threads appeared around him, quickly weaving into trickery. But in the next moment, similar black threads also wove into the same trickery around Si Xiaonan.
Boom—!!
A strange muffled sound rippled out from the void between them, and gusts of wind swept through the stone city.
Neither of them moved, but in the history that no one could witness, they had already engaged in battle through “trickery” from a distance. Si Xiaonan in mid-air couldn’t help taking half a step back, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, but a smile appeared on her face…
She had succeeded.
Just now, Loki had tried to use “trickery” to deceive history, making Si Xiaonan’s breakthrough with the Ghost God Inducer fail. If that happened, the current Si Xiaonan at the peak of the human ceiling would cease to exist.
But with Si Xiaonan’s “trickery” intervention, she twisted the history that Loki was about to divert back to its original course.
Although it was extremely difficult for Si Xiaonan to achieve this, it meant she could restrict Loki’s most troublesome ability!
“Let’s see how long you can maintain this state.”
Loki’s expression was extremely ugly. Since becoming the God of Trickery, this was the first time he had been countered before his divine power was exhausted, and by his own proxy no less.
This was what Si Xiaonan had always believed… Below the supreme, only “trickery” can kill “trickery.”
Si Xiaonan’s face was somewhat pale. She lowered her head, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and chuckled lightly: “To kill you… this is enough.”
Before her words faded, three figures simultaneously charged toward Loki in the sky!
The two Upper Evil Association emissaries rushed out like lightning from left and right, their mental power surging like waves. Above Loki, An Qingyu, wearing a blood-stained white robe, slowly spread his arms, his glasses reflecting the pale sunlight, cold and mysterious.
“Yin Thunder, Divine Fire, Soul Poison Everywhere!”
Crack—!!
The moment An Qingyu’s words fell, a black thunderbolt instantly penetrated the thick cloud layer, and crimson fire snakes emerged from nothingness, coiling around the Yin Thunder, transforming into a thunder and fire dragon that let out a mountain-shattering roar as it lunged toward Loki below!
The full-force attacks from the other two emissaries also simultaneously engulfed Loki!
Dazzling flames burst open in mid-air, and thunderous roars echoed within the “Human Circle.” At the same time, Si Xiaonan standing not far away flashed with the light of “trickery,” her form distorting to become Loki for an instant before changing back to herself.
Half of her body was charred black, her face extremely pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated several steps.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and coldly gazed at the center of the explosion.
Just now, Loki had tried to use “trickery” to switch places with her, but she had switched back with her pre-prepared “trickery.” Even so, she was injured in that explosion.
From within the raging flames, a figure carrying terrifying divine power suddenly broke through the thick smoke and flew toward Si Xiaonan!
Loki’s elegant clerical robe was burned to charred pieces, but his body bore no serious injuries. After all, he had a divine body, and the combined attack from An Qingyu and the others had limited effect on him. But Si Xiaonan’s two consecutive interruptions of his “trickery” had enraged him beyond measure!
No matter what, he had to kill Si Xiaonan first!!
Seeing Loki break through the blockade and charge toward Si Xiaonan without regard for anything else, Leng Xuan, standing in the stone city, narrowed his eyes.
Gritting his teeth, he used his only remaining arm to load the last bullet into the heavy sniper rifle with lightning speed, forcefully hoisting the gun up and shouting toward the sky:
“Xiaonan!!”
