Chapter 52: Stalemate
The many trainee gods who were watching the battle in the temple of Abytos were in an uproar.
"That's Augustus's knight's armor, right?" With a flame that could melt space in his hand, the red-haired middle-aged man said in shock, "Why did his armor fit on Shen's body?"
"Hart, don't get excited, be careful not to burn others. Augustus, dressed in the same white armor, was struggling to dodge the red-haired middle-aged man's arms waving in midair.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the white armor on Shen Xi's body is exactly the same as that worn by Augustus, who has no knightly style at all and is now holding his head and running around.
Augustus is a somewhat special trainee god - according to the assessment system and ability division of the temple of gods, Augustus is fully capable of serving as the supreme god of a new world from any point of view. But Augustus insisted on staying in the C173 world and continuing his studies with Abitos. In his words, "I am perfectly qualified for the position of god of warriors and knights, but as a supreme god, there are too many shortcomings. โ
Hart is the oldest intern god in the C173 world, and as the god of fire and forging, he is affectionately called "Big Brother" by countless intern gods in the C173 world. The main reason is probably because of reliability and lack of heart. Hart always tried his best to help everyone he could, and the white armor on Augustus' body was made by his own hands - beyond the limits of artifacts understood by mortals in the Nether, the white armor created by Hart has stepped into the ranks of "immortal" items.
For the gods, long life and abundant experience are basically synonymous with great strength. Immortal-level armor is the most direct proof of Hart's strength.
Immortal items are very rare, even for the supreme gods of the Temple of the Gods. The material of the item itself may be mundane, but through the ability of the maker, these otherwise ordinary items can be given the attribute of "immortality".
It is actually a bit too bland to say that it is an attribute, and the essence of immortal items is "lawfulness". Through the Maker's abilities, the blank spaces in the laws of the world are filled with descriptions and characteristics of immortal items. As a result, immortal objects can acquire the same characteristics as other laws such as gravitational attraction and the laws of heat energyโwhich cannot be extinguished within the scope of this universe.
What shocked Hart was not just the similarity between the armor on Shen Xi's body and his own work. What really surprised him was that he waved his hands but completely forgot that there was still a flame burning on his arm that could melt the spatial flames, and it was the unique fluctuations emitted by the armor on Shen Xi's body.
That's a sign of immortality.
And the uproar throughout the temple continued.
"The function of that magic circle is not just to accelerate!" Hart stared at the ball of light in front of him in surprise, pointing to Shen Xi flying at high speed in the picture, "He still has at least forty amplification states on his body!"
"Strictly speaking, one hundred and twenty-eight. Gandalf, the white-robed god of mages, stroked his beard and sighed, "If I hadn't had my staff in my hand, I would have thought that this kid had slipped into my mage's tower and stole all my belongings." โ
Gandalf's three-part staff is his proudest work, with Hart's staff at its core, and Gandalf himself has used what he has learned all his life to engrave one hundred and twenty-eight amplification mini-circles on the staff. With a swing of the staff, it unleashes an Auras of an Auras on all allies within hundreds of square kilometers. A boosted ally, even a checkmate lying on a hospital bed, with no breath, can jump out of bed with a staggering amount of amplification. Pulling out a long-handled battle axe that weighed half of his body weight, he roared and rushed five kilometers into the enemy line to become a meat grinder.
Wearing immortal-level armor and the assistance of the cheating level amplification aura, Shen Xi's combat power at this moment is off the charts. It's just that he no longer has the concept of "the difference between the combat effectiveness of the enemy and the enemy" in his mind. Shen Xi, who was flying in mid-air, had only one thought, faster, faster, and a few holes in Prometheus's body!
Sophia looked at Yu Qian who fell to the ground, and the golden blood overflowing from under him was particularly dazzling. She stood still, like a robot without power, oblivious to Prometheus approaching step by step.
She seemed to see the scene thousands of years ago, after leading the team into the barbarian god's palace and successfully killing the other party, she entered the palace underground palace accompanied by the bell.
After being pierced through his chest by the bell, Lute fell to the ground with his eyes blank, and Bell who fell to the ground with his injuries. Their bodies seemed to have crossed time, overlapping with Yu Qian, who was now lying on the ground.
Sophia's eyes were blank, and for a moment she couldn't even tell if this was a real scene, or a nightmare that had happened to her countless times over the years, and now she had recurred.
"What are you doing in a daze?" A fair-skinned and slender little hand grabbed Rouyi, who was trembling slightly by Sophia's side, and Jieliya walked to her side and held Sophia's hand. "Now is not the time to be in a daze. โ
Sophia turned her head, looked at Jieliya, who was nearly half shorter than herself, and subconsciously grabbed her outstretched hand.
"Standing in front of you is the lowest thing in the world. Jalia looked at Prometheus in front of her with a look of disgust, "They were born in the heart of the world. It was supposed to be the last line of defense for this world against the Shadow Void infection. However, they never fulfilled their mission. This is true of all worlds where barbarian gods were born. They prefer to enslave their fellow human beings and fight other barbarian gods rather than fight against the Shadow Void. Even if the world has faced the shadow void, it is still more important for them to kill the other barbarian gods than to protect the world. โ
Sophia's eyes gradually brightened.
Jaliya's voice continued, "And this thing in front of you is even worse than those barbarian gods. He had just deliberately unleashed his divine power outside. The Divine Flame caused the world to be in direct danger of being burned out. And he did this just to panic the divine servant who was now lying on the ground, so that he could sneak up on it. โ
Sophia looked at Yu Qian who was lying on the ground. After his expression was slightly stunned, he suddenly seemed a little at a loss, and even wanted to turn his head away from Yu Qian.
"Look at him!" called out Geria. Sophia suddenly looked at Yu Qian who was lying on the ground.
"You see," he continued, "that he is not on the ground because he has made any mistakes! It is the mission of the servants of God to carry out the commands of the true God he serves! He is here because you did not follow his advice, because I only wanted to talk to you and rejected his advice! You and I are equally responsible, you know?"
Sophia nodded with difficulty, "Yes." โ
"Good!" said Geria, patting Sophia's hand with satisfaction. Then he pulled his little hand out. "I rejected his suggestion first, so I solved the problem first. She walked over to Prometheus, suddenly turned to look at Sophia, and said, "After all, I still represent the Pantheon, otherwise I really want to apologize to you." โ
Sophia didn't quite understand what Jeria meant, and she didn't know what she wanted to do. She only saw that Jaliya was getting closer and closer to Prometheus, and even walked into the range of the opponent's attack.
"Be careful!" Sophia was about to rush to the rescue, but suddenly she heard an explosion in her ears, and a white light fell from the sky and smashed on Prometheus's body. A huge shockwave hit, and it actually swept Sophia out. Jalia was closer to Prometheus and flew faster and farther. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were swept out by the air waves, directly crashed through the wall of the shelter, and flew out hundreds of meters away.
Although they are all true gods, Sophia is not very comfortable with such a sudden attack. It took her a long time to suppress the churning sensation in her chest, and when she looked back, she found that the shelter she had worked so hard to build had been reduced to rubble by the sheer force of the impact. In the ruins, a man in white armor is fighting with Prometheus.
"Augustus's senpai?" Sophia looked at the scene unfolding in front of her eyes in disbelief. As the god of knights and warriors, Augustus's combat power is undoubtedly the highest among the trainee gods, and can even be called the strongest in frontal hand-to-hand combat. But on the white-helmeted knight who was fighting in front of her, Sophia couldn't feel the crushing combat power that Augustus should have. On the contrary, in the battle with the bare-handed Prometheus, the White Helmet Knight still fell behind from time to time.
How powerful is Prometheus? Sophia felt that beads of sweat were already oozing from her forehead, and Augustus's predecessors, who were known for their ability to fight head-on, would be suppressed occasionally, and she was definitely not his opponent.
Seeing that the situation on the field was deadlocked, Sophia didn't bother to check on Jieliya's situation - as the supreme god, Jieliya would never be injured in this situation - but gradually melted her figure into the shade of the tree, and then began to move cautiously towards the field.
As the god of assassins, Sophia is looking for a fighter, while Shen Xi, the "scum protector" in the field, is caught in a vicious battle.
Although he didn't know where the armor and aura on his body came from, it didn't affect Shen Xi's determination to poke three holes in Prometheus's body - one for Yu Qian, one for Amber, and one for Yang Wei.
How strong is the physical strength of an intern god whose body has basically completed the transformation, but Shen Xi has no score in his heart. He just followed the three basic principles that a thug should follow when fighting - stab according to the point, stab faster, stab a few more times. That's all.
Prometheus's casual blow could kill the resting servants on the spot. Therefore, Shen Xi fought very carefully in the battle, trying to exert the buff effect attached to his body, and used the dagger to block the fist swung by Prometheus. But because he didn't know how powerful the armor on his body was, Shen Xi didn't rely on the immortal-level protection to fight a life-changing reckless attack - although he wanted to avenge his little brother, it was really unwise to put himself in before taking revenge.
There is no treasure mountain but he doesn't know the essentials, and Shen Xi naturally fell into a stalemate with Prometheus.
