Chapter 233
by fanqienovelChapter 233: The First Step to Becoming a God
“Whew… hiss… whew… hiss…”
Sulya sat inside the cabin, her full chest rising and falling as she took deep breaths.
Her head was drenched in sweat.
The Giant God’s “Information Flow” infusion into Sulya’s soul was a mix of pain and pleasure… Lately, it had turned almost pure; but now, the same infusion from the Outer God’s invasion brought her immense pain.
“Mortal cricket.”
“Small as dust.”
“Worse than an insect.”
“Bow to me!”
“Mortal cricket.”
…
The whispers of the Outer God echoed constantly in Sulya’s soul.
It felt like a giant hammer!
Again and again, it struck at Sulya’s mind!
“Ugh…”
As she fought the Outer God’s attack, blood trickled from the corner of Sulya’s mouth.
She seemed unable to hold on much longer.
“Ha ha ha…”
“To resist me so long, you are rare among mortals!”
“No…”
“Not just rare—you are a monster!”
“You match even a young etheric worm!”
“I never met such stubborn fight!”
“But you are still a mortal!”
“Now, I end your pain and burn your soul away!”
“The final blow!”
The Outer God gathered all its Mental Power and unleashed it suddenly!
It meant to use the rawest way, with its huge Soul, to smash this strong woman’s soul and make her vanish!
However…
“Hmm!?”
Just as the Outer God was about to attack, it found itself unable to focus.
Its Soul felt like it crawled with “ants,” even stirring an inner “itchiness.”
"What happened!?"
When it abandoned the so-called "final blow" and began observing its own form…
"This…"
"What is this!?"
Its soul was engulfed by an oceanic expanse of spiritual energy!
The colossal soul roared like titanic waves, surging violently and churning golden "spray" across the sky.
It relentlessly devoured and corroded the soul of the Outer God from the Void!
The Void deity was terrified!
He mustered all his power in desperate resistance against this terrifying erosion.
Yet his efforts merely slowed the advance of the horrifying "soul" invasion!
Growing suffocation made the Outer God envision a dreadful possibility—"Is your Soul Network linked to the Giant God?"
"Has He descended personally!?"
Facing the Outer God’s question, Sulya shook her head.
"No…"
"Dealing with you requires no intervention from the great Giant God."
"I alone suffice!"
"My momentary lapse wasn’t from failing to withstand your mental assault, but because my primary power was summoning reinforcements."
"Those reinforcements are my three mighty and loyal sisters, plus the countless devoted Giant God followers!"
At that moment…
"Buzz—!"
Three formidable wills, only slightly less potent than Sulya’s, emerged from the golden "soul ocean," closing in menacingly around the horrified evil god!
"Though gathering the wills of millions of Giant God followers so swiftly is arduous, it suffices!"
"United under my guidance, these millions of followers’ wills become the ultimate ‘avatar’!"
"No arrogant insect like you could ever shake it!"
"Yet channeling millions of wills demanded intense focus, requiring my full attention."
"I granted you a brief moment of arrogance."
"A shameful lapse before the Giant God."
…
The Outer God from the Void quivered in terror.
This mortal implied the "resilient soul" that had stunned him was merely her distracted, incomplete state!
"No… impossible…"
"A mere mortal… how could this be?"
The confidence and calmness of the Outer God from the Void stemmed from its past successful cases.
It wasn’t the almighty Chaos Demon God but a chaotic Outer God; its strength derived not from true power but from prior smooth sailing.
Having never faced adversity, it inevitably fell into disarray when encountering resistance.
"Enough! Sulya!"
"Stop wasting words on that buzzing, headless fly!"
"Eliminate it!"
"Daring to seize my subordinate!"
Albert Drake blazed with fury like wildfire.
Rage over her captured lieutenant made her yearn to strangle the Outer God instantly.
"Death sentence."
"No pardon."
The icy Loseta stated her position plainly.
"…"
Angna stayed silent, awaiting commands.
"The Giant God didn’t answer my request.
Yet intruders in His sacred domain face inevitable annihilation."
"Go…"
Sulya’s will steered the golden ocean, merging its waves with the three other living saints’ resolve, molding it into a colossal hand!
"Boom——!"
The massive palm slammed onto the Outer God from the Void, crushing it relentlessly.
"No…"
"No——!"
"Great Master! Save me!"
…
But the Outer God’s pleas met only silence.
"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God!"
"Offerings to the divine throne!"
The gigantic hands clenched violently!
"Puff——!"
"Ah——!"
Amidst the muffled shattering of its soul and the Outer God’s despairing shriek, its white essence fragmented into countless shards.
"Splash——!"
They splattered and flew around like shattered glass pieces, most merging into the golden ocean, gradually melting and vanishing away.
However, four shards were drawn by the powerful wills of the four living saints and fused into their bodies.
"Huff…"
"Great is the Giant God!"
Sulya prayed to the Giant God within her soul.
She felt her soul’s strength grow again. After merging with the shards of the Outer Gods from the Void, she even gained something new!
The "color" of her soul no longer mixed with the ordinary; it showed a clear, watery blue, separating from the golden ocean below!
"What is this…"
The First Living Saint looked toward her three sisters.
"Huff…"
Albert Drake’s soul no longer appeared as the "plain" gold of the golden ocean but turned into a fiery, bright red, giving off a burning heat.
Loseta’s soul looked like a cold, white iceberg, sending out a chilling cold.
Angna had a calm light brown shade, but under that peace, something wild was stirring!
They shone like stars in the Soul Network.
"What is this…"
Just as the living saints stared in shock at their new powers and wondered where they came from…
"It’s divine rank, oh."
"Buzz——!"
A young woman’s voice rang through the Soul Network, and a huge pressure slammed onto the four living saints.
"Uh…"
"This…"
"It’s way stronger than the Outer Gods before!"
…
Sulya, who had faced the Outer Gods without a change in expression, suddenly felt a bad headache; wild, messy thoughts spread in her mind.
Her whole spirit was tightly gripped by the invader.
The four living saints were like four small boats on a stormy sea, ready to be swallowed by violent giant waves at any moment!
"Your god is really ‘kind.’"
"I’ve never seen anyone hand out such precious ‘shards of divine rank’ straight to mortals."
"Of course, normal mortals can’t handle shards of divine rank."
"A mortal who isn’t scared of divine rank power isn’t normal."
"Congrats on starting your path to godhood."
"No wonder that weakling couldn’t touch you."
"But sorry, you’ll have to hurt a bit."
"I need to look through your memories to find a way into that ‘Giant God’s’ mind!"
Sulya and the other three living saints kept fighting back.
But…
"Stop talking!"
"I’m in a rush!"
"Buzz——!"
The soul of the Chaos Demon God whipped up a fierce storm in the network, smashing the living saints’ resistance almost at once!
He was about to use Sulya as a bridge to invade the Giant God’s mind!
Yet right then…
"Huh?"
A confused sigh sounded from above, echoing in the Soul Network.
Though it was casual and unthinking, it made the invader Barbatos’s soul shake!
The Giant God had stepped in himself!
