Chapter 467
by fanqienovelChapter 467: The Living Saints Suddenly Closed Themselves Off
“Is this the power of the Giant God!?”
“Against a strong being like the Dreaming Shore Dragon, does it really take just one hit!?”
“Amazing!”
Sylvia lay on the Microscopic Dragon, staring at the colossal divine body in front of her!
The Giant God’s form had changed so much that Sylvia didn’t recognize it, but she still knew it was her god.
After all, the warm and gentle energy coming from him was easy to spot!
Plus, one part of the Giant God’s form stayed almost the same—the holy eyes made of many divine gems!
She slowly knelt down, quietly saying the Giant God’s long name.
At the same time, soft prayers started in the Soul Network; these scattered sounds grew louder, finally becoming a flood!
Right then, billions of mortals on Themis were praying the Giant God’s name like a holy song.
“See the Giant God!”
“The Great Devourer of the universe!”
“The Planner of the Great Plan!”
“The Holder of Endless Change!”
“The Purger of the Deity’s Affliction!”
“The Lender Among the Gods!”
“The natural enemy of Chaos Demon God!”
“The Protector of Themis, Valaharl, Tridium, and Canaan!”
“The Savior of the Sotiko people…”
Sulya, the First Living Saint, made up these names. She was the bridge between the Giant God and mortals. Every tribute and ritual for the Giant God was led by her.
When sacrificing demons, she was the one who struck first, cutting off the first demon’s head!
But she didn’t write these long names just to make the Giant God happy.
After all, not only Sulya but almost all Chosen Warriors knew the Giant God didn’t care about mortals’ praise; he just moved his "Great Plan" forward with honesty and kindness.
These names were more about helping mortals remember the Giant God’s great deeds and what he did for them.
Sylvia and the Themis people prayed the Giant God’s name while thinking about the fight they just saw.
This battle happened near the Holy Tree Themis, where many mortals on barges in the Ether Sea watched the godly fight that the Giant God joined.
Everyone’s memories, carried by voices chanting prayers, went into the Soul Network and mixed into a lifelike 3D picture.
They saw him walking with long legs like sky pillars, going toward the proud Dreaming Shore Dragon. He opened his mouth like a deep pit, showing big teeth like two huge towers!
“Boom—!”
After a bite that shook the earth, the Dreaming Shore Dragon cried out in pain, nearly bursting everyone’s eardrums.
He struggled violently, unleashing divine might recklessly around him.
Mortals collapsed to the ground, clutching their heads in agony.
The anguish radiating from the Dragon God before his death struck every soul; all felt his despair and terror!
But another emotion swiftly obliterated that impact!
“Roar—!”
The Giant God’s bellow!
It seethed with fury and dominance.
Yet the mortals felt no fear—instead, they sensed themselves shielded by that deep, dreadful roar!
A colossal phantom seemed to materialize in the void, guarding Holy Tree Themis and its billions of mortals.
The Dreaming Shore Dragons, moments ago poised to seize Holy Tree Themis as their new nest, now fled tail-tucked before this protective roar!
“Whew…”
Scenes replaying in the Soul Network awed every mortal soul, displaying the Giant God’s might.
But this wasn’t the Soul Network’s only gift to the Themis people.
“Boom—!”
A golden torrent erupted from a tiny point in the agile network, flooding the entire Soul Network instantly.
The network’s four main "nodes"—the souls of the four living saints—hummed in resonance.
Simultaneously, they shut their channels, halting all thought-sharing.
Inside the Soul Network, the Giant God’s citizens buzzed with speculation.
“What happened!?”
“Unknown—the living saints abruptly stopped sharing thoughts.”
“The Giant God must’ve delivered a vital oracle! They’re surely listening!”
“Aye! Praise the Giant God!”
“Great is the Giant God!”
The Themis people envisioned the four noble, beautiful living saints kneeling in prayer, receiving the oracle in sacred stillness.
Mere contemplation of this purified their hearts.
But…
—-
“Cough, cough…”
“Hah… hah… hah…”
“So this is the Giant God’s energy!?”
“My brain… feels scorched…”
Sylvia had vanished from the Microscopic Dragon; ensnared within, she was cocooned by its inner tissues.
The expensive protective suit of the Purity Officers was torn apart in this process.
Although she was strengthened, she could now use her "sacred" skin to resist the corrosion of the void, ether, and the primordial.
Jumping into the Ether Sea felt to Sylvia like taking a bath in muddy water.
Now, large areas of her fair skin were exposed, leaving her barely clothed, with her flesh visible; her limbs were tangled in tentacle-like structures; sweat glistened on her fair skin, her tender pink tongue slightly poked out, and her eyes fluttered gently.
Two tear streaks hadn’t dried yet, still on her lovely face.
This scene looked like she was bound and tortured by a monster, but actually, it was the opposite; the so-called "tentacles" were just like sensors that didn’t harm her or hold her back.
Instead, they were key tools for Sylvia to fully control the Microscopic Dragon.
They had merged into one!
The Microscopic Dragon had become Sylvia’s second body.
“Ha…”
“This felt somewhat familiar, like…”
Sylvia thought.
A possibility came to mind, but it seemed too unreal, and she couldn’t believe it.
Just then…
“Cough, cough…”
“Welcome… welcome to join us…”
The voice of the First Living Saint, Sulya, echoed in her mind.
Sylvia thought Sulya’s speech was a bit hesitant, as if her tongue was tied.
But if she met Sulya, she’d probably be even more surprised.
This First Living Saint had not yet put down her “biye hand.”
“I am also…”
“A Living Saint?”
Sulya’s words revealed a reality full of wonderful surprise to Sylvia!
But she didn’t have time to feel happy.
Just then…
“Boom—!”
A huge shadow loomed overhead again.
“Roar…”
A big mouth slowly came towards Sylvia!
Sylvia’s world went dark instantly, but it wasn’t scary; it felt kind of warm.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a ground made of Ancient God Fragments.
And…
“Mmm—!”
“Uh…”
A thunderous roar burst in Sylvia’s mind!
