Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Let Me See

Life is so full of drama; just when 『』 had hope, the Lord of Eternity showed her what true despair was.

No one expected that the statue of the Lord of Eternity would only hold out for such a short time.

"Are you crazy? You are even draining me!"

These are the last words left by the Lord of Eternity.

"Hahaha…" The God of Wisdom laughed, "You are so weak, you have already lost your minds and gone crazy!"

Karoso’s body was mostly covered in black.

Terrifying magic power helped Karoso instantly reach the ninth level.

Although there is still a great distance compared to the Blackening Card, this is also the level the Blackening Card can reach only after four years.

Absorbing the power of others without care, but one doesn’t know if this power is good or bad.

Outside, the ninth level is already considered a big shot; Minaret and Celica are just at the ninth level, and there are very few ninth-level beings in the whole world.

But in front of a god, the ninth level is still not enough.

The God of Wisdom pointed his magic wand at Karoso, saying that as long as he took down this guy, the divine power belonging to Neymar that exploded from him would return to me.

But just as the God of Wisdom was about to move, he felt his body getting heavier and heavier.

"Who!"

The God of Wisdom suddenly turned around.

In the distance, a girl with an arrow in her temple slowly walked towards him.

"Long time no see," Messiah smiled slightly. "I wanted to awaken… to dream."

"Is it you?" The God of Wisdom’s pupils narrowed. "How did you get in?"

"It’s because of you," Messiah placed her delicate hand on the bow and arrow at her temple and pulled it out forcefully.

*Thud.*

The arrow did not pull out any blood or brain matter; it was as if it had shot through air.

……

Time moves back a little.

"It’s over." Messiah looked at the dungeon and sighed in relief.

His power was barely able to seep into the dungeon and see what was happening inside.

"Something is off; the ones who survived seem to be stuck." Aurora Goddess frowned slightly.

"Stuck?" Messiah was taken aback, "The rules of the dungeon are already very complete, we can’t fully break them, how are they stuck?"

"Not yet over…" Aurora Goddess sighed, "The guy we saw last time wants to revive inside."

Messiah’s expression changed, "The statue, the offering, divine status, divine power, Power of Faith… He has no physical body!"

"Your understanding of the rules is too shallow." Aurora Goddess shook her head seriously, "First, relying on conditions other than a physical body, using the statue to create a simulated body can be done in the dungeon. Then, bit by bit, take everything away from Neymar, and when Neymar is just an empty shell, then possess it. Neymar’s consciousness will completely disappear, and he can achieve a temporary revival, around the strength of the tenth level, similar to yours, but you cannot defeat him."

"It seems that His true form is dead; otherwise, He would not have come back to life in this way."

"Hmm, it seems He has remembered many things through Neymar and knows whether His true form is dead or alive…"

"Who killed Him in the first place? Was it Surtr or Tom…? Only these two have crushing power over other gods; even the immortal one was not strong enough."

Messiah didn’t understand but got the general idea.

In short, the God of Wisdom can come back to life inside.

"Under the Card God Domain, can He still come back to life…?" Messiah’s face darkened. "Is the return of the stars happening sooner?"

"That’s a dungeon; the Card God Domain does not cover the oldest dungeons." The Aurora Goddess looked at Messiah. "The only one who can stop His revival now is you."

Messiah’s lips twitched. "What can I use to stop Him…?"

"Your body has a shadow from that era, and I have one too." The Aurora Goddess sighed. "If my true form were present, you, a useless being, wouldn’t even have a chance to enter."

"Can you please stop calling me useless… I just accidentally walked down the old path of another god and got stuck here, didn’t I?" Messiah’s expression was filled with frustration.

"If it weren’t for Surtr’s shadow telling you, you wouldn’t even know why you are stuck." The Aurora Goddess looked at her with disdain.

"Tell me, do I still have a chance to break through?" Messiah suddenly felt a weight in her heart.

"No chance. You have entered someone else’s framework. It’s like… um, the physics and mechanics that people study today. You learned the basics, and with further research, you could go further. But what if the physics you learned was wrong from the start? For example, if there were no magic crystal, what should replace some energy? Without a magic circle, how would some machines be powered? How should a protective shield be formed? Your common sense has already trapped you."

"I understand." Messiah sighed, "I will stop Him and not let Him come back."

……

Time returns to the present.

After Messiah’s spiritual body entered, it revived using her past body and came before the God of Wisdom.

Her spiritual magic was battling against the God of Wisdom.

"If you want to stop me, you are still far from it!" The God of Wisdom waved a delicate hand, and a bright blue magic circle appeared beneath Messiah’s feet, causing half of her body to start freezing from left to right.

"If your real body comes in, you might be able to compete with me, but with this body, how much power can you truly show?" The God of Wisdom scoffed.

"If you had a physical form, I really couldn’t defeat you, but do you have one now?" The hand of Messiah that wasn’t frozen tightened around the magic wand, and the God of Wisdom just felt more tired, "Back then, you wanted to create trouble using my dreams; we should settle this score."

"Dreams? If it weren’t for your dream’s many flaws, how could I have entered? Your dream is indeed a good vehicles; I almost swallowed that girl." The God of Wisdom replied.

[What? The City of Freedom Incident was caused by Messiah?]

[The truth is revealed.]

[I strongly suggest the officials quickly release more information on the gods, or we will fall behind.]

[Official: We’re on it, we’re on it. Creating a new text document.]

[Wait, didn’t Master Karoso kill one of these before? It wouldn’t be a trap, right?]

"Didn’t you die…?" Just as the netizens thought, 『』 could not understand anymore.

In her memory, this elf was shot dead by Vereesa.

She never expected that a captive could be so strong!

Who is she, and how can she compete with the God of Wisdom?

She is so fierce, how did we catch her back then?

It seems that the God of Wisdom knows her well; this is not magical at all!

"Little girl, what happened today is beyond your understanding. I am a god from the future; what you know is just my shadow left in the past…" Messiah began to exert her power, "In any case, do your thing; I am on your side."

After that, both gods fell silent and began a raw contest of power.

There was no earth-shaking battle, no dazzling light and shadow effects, just a simple clash of divine strength.

The God of Wisdom fears that using His current power to show the strength of the rules might not be perfect, and that Messiah could find the flaw.

Although the God of Wisdom is at a higher level than Messiah, Messiah can see that He does not have a physical body right now, which makes the God of Wisdom feel cautious.

This is not something Messiah saw or a result of his own ability; yet, the God of Wisdom must still be careful.

This is the downside of being smart – thinking too much.

Messiah feels the same way. He knows the God of Wisdom is at a higher level than he is, and he has not taken the path others have. He was previously invaded by the God of Wisdom and the Lord of Eternity in his dreams, so he does not dare to use his dream powers in front of the God of Wisdom, fearing they might be broken again.

『』 took a deep breath; she still felt a bit worried.

This guy has every reason to hold a grudge against them…

First, they imprisoned him, then they interrogated him…

Especially the big pile of things he himself said, what if a god’s dark past is discovered? Wouldn’t he be silenced?

The more 『』 thought, the more scared she became.

"Hurry up and do it!" Messiah shouted loudly.

"Well, can you solve it yourself? We are just ordinary people…" 『』 said carefully.

"Sure, anyway, I have already cleared this passage. You and Karoso can get out, but that girl can’t," Messiah said, looking speechless.

Why do humans like to depend on others so much? Once they have support, they don’t want to put in effort anymore, right?

"Alright…"

『』 felt helpless; no matter what, the goal was to rescue Neymar.

With Messiah standing in front, 『』 could finally let loose.

In this space, countless elements were being manipulated by her.

Not only that, 『』 discovered that she could also summon the elements from outside!

The power of the elements from outside followed in when Messiah entered!

『』 lifted the pen in her hand and waved it in the air, creating beautiful scrolls in the form of elements, which gradually merged into the painting.

『』 was creating various materials out of thin air, no longer relying on physical objects to make cards like before.

However, for some divine things, she still needed a few materials.

The spellbook of the Lord of Eternity and stones found their way into her hands and were tossed into the cards.

It must be said that the Card God Domain is truly powerful; even divine items can be turned into cards.

……

The unknown places.

Tom sat in the air, frowning, his mind full of thoughts about Karoso.

I want to observe him, but I don’t know why I want to.

"Hah, forget it." Tom let out a sigh, "As Surtr says, encountering things we don’t understand means we are not strong enough. We just need to become stronger…"

Thinking of this, the Card God’s gaze turned towards 『』.

This girl, since she has helped my past and changed what was mine, I will help her.

Tom threw a card into the air, and the card passed through the transparent shield surrounding the continent and directly entered the dungeon.

"Girl, don’t you dare die…" Tom’s lips curled into a slight smile, "I’m still waiting for you to become a god and come to play cards with me."

No matter how many years pass, playing cards is Tom’s only joy.

He has a strong craving for cards, but no god truly wants to play with him.

……

After a while, two cards took shape in 『』’s hands.

『』 was shocked as she looked at the two cards in front of her.

[Name: Transformation]

[Category: Spell]

[Star Level: 9]

[Grade: God Card (Fake)]

[Limit: For Eternal Believers Only]

[Description: I will never help someone who drains my power again. I swear, this is the last time!]

This introduction made 『』 feel confused; it surely wasn’t written by her.

She didn’t expect that Lord of Eternity, a powerful evil god, would make such childish remarks.

In 『』’s eyes, that was indeed an evil god, the most wicked of all deities.

Nowadays, when scaring children, people say if you cry any longer, the death wizard will take you away…

This shows how infamous Lord of Eternity really is.

Compared to this, it didn’t matter how Lord of Eternity criticized her on her card.

[Name: Star Ocean]

[Category: Equipment]

[Star Level: 9]

[Rank: God Card (Fake)]

[Restriction: Can only be used by someone cherished by 『』]

[Introduction: Stars dance in the sky, like a sea of stars]

[Note: You know winning at cards is just luck. Drawing a good card is not about skill, and your card skills are not as good as mine!]

『』’s expression looked a bit odd.

She had complained about Tom when she was making the card before.

Little did she expect to get teased back; it was like they had a chat across space through card making.

Card God, that is someone very high and mighty.

Or rather, for humans, gods are on a different level, not the same kind of beings.

At the level of gods, the Card God is the best among the best, and everyone using cards to fight is the best proof of this.

『』 never thought that the Card God would chat with her as an equal, just like ordinary friends. Plus, with the earlier performance of the Lord of Eternity, it was almost changing 『』’s understanding of gods.

『』 took a deep breath; she knew this wasn’t the time for wild thoughts.

Buzz!

The transformation shield was placed around Karoso.

With the support of the Field Magic White Desert, this fake God Card unleashed a powerful energy.

Karoso’s trembling eased, and the colorful lights on him faded significantly.

Karoso gasped for breath.

He knew that absorbing others’ power was a very dangerous thing, but he never imagined it would be so perilous and so painful.

Luckily, he had already grown used to pain.

Karoso’s eyes were red, and he stared intensely at the distant God of Wisdom.

"Ah…"

Karoso let out a painful cry.

Suddenly, Zoltan’s Soul Fragment entered his body.

Under the cover of transformation, Zoltan’s Soul Fragment quickly changed into magical power.

Karoso finally understood why the gap between eighth-tier and ninth-tier was so big; even when two ninth-tier masters fought until they were almost exhausted, they could still defeat several top eighth-tier opponents.

The source of magic for eighth-tier is liquid, while for ninth-tier it begins to turn into solid.

You could say that eighth-tier is like water, and ninth-tier is like jelly.

Then, it was compressed into stone… which is a divine core!

To compress it, you cannot just rely on magic; you must depend on the laws and the source of power that creates them.

The premise of all this is to fill the sea of ninth-level magic.

The second one to provide Karoso with a lot of magic is Anwen. Like Zoltan, her soul is already shattered.

Unfortunately, Narcissus was absorbed by the God of Wisdom.

The last one to enter Karoso’s body is Gabriel.

The moment Gabriel’s soul entered Karoso’s body, a voice echoed deep within Karoso’s soul.

"The most unwise thing you did was to devour someone much stronger than you."

Karoso felt a daze, as if he had appeared in a void.

A Taiji symbol slowly spins in the air, created by the meeting of the Card Maker’s mark and the War God’s Divine Seal.

Gabriel, dressed in armor, looks at him with a mad expression.

"Have they come…?" Karoso knows this is something he must face.

If he doesn’t absorb these beings, he won’t have the power to save Neymar.

What can be done at this moment? There is no one to rely on; he can only fight with all his might!

"Hahaha… That transformative power is indeed strong, but your mistake is absorbing too much at once!" Gabriel laughed wildly, "I can temporarily avoid that so-called transformation! When I take your place, it will be your Soul Fragment that transforms!"

"Your body is now mine…"

"Not just your body; everything about you belongs to me!"

"Mark of the Divine Favor, and an unknown mark; you sure have many secrets…"

"Hmm? What are you looking at? Let me see too."

This is Karoso’s habit; he always finds energy to be distracted by bullet comments.
