Chapter 375: The Confined Divinity (2/2)
The first beam had knocked off much of the tortoise colossus’s durability. If this hits it again, its durability might drop beneath the quest requirement, and everyone would have to face the music of a failed quest…
Nonetheless, it was all too late.
Edward could only watch as the beam bounded away from beneath the earth, shooting over the Players’ head toward the tortoise colossus!
And yet, just as the beam was about to hit the tortoise colossus, a white radiant screen suddenly appeared and bluntly intercepted the beam that the Mecha Giant fired! Though cracks were appearing all over the screen, it eventually succeeded in withstanding the blast and saved the colossus.
“It’s Eleena! Eleena is still there!” Edward understood what happened after blanking out for the moment.
After all, the first strike of the Mecha Giant had come too sudden. Eleena just couldn’t have imagined that it could snipe the tortoise colossus from such a distant pit, and caught unawares, she allowed the tortoise colossus to eat the beam in full force.
But having now prepared, Eleena directly stopped the enemy’s second strike!
Although much of Eleena’s mana was consumed in a single stroke, it still counted as a success.
And it wasn’t just Edward—the other Players had immediately become excited, feeling as if they had caught the wind in their sails…
If the tiny Saintess could do it, we wouldn’t fall too short!
Hence, the Players rallied their courage, assuming their respective roles under Edward’s command to buy more time for the God of Games.

“Not bad.”With his Divine Eye, Xi Wei got an idea of what was happening in the mortal realm and could not help being pleased with his choice of followers.
“And I almost have an idea bout the divinity hidden in the Eternal Archives…”
After so long, Xi Wei finally broke through the high elves’ restraints in the Eternal Archives and reached the divinity inside.
Though absorbing it would take some time, Xi Wei could see some records that remained in the divinity despite the brief contact.
It was a divinity belonging to Ogayo, the God of Flowers and Fertile Earth.
Interestingly, the divinity had yet to vanish, meaning that there was no new God of Flowers and Fertile Ground in the current era. Therefore, instead of saying that the high elves had stolen a god’s divinity, it was more that they had confined that divinity.
“Whatever that case may be, this thing is now mine.” Xi Wei took the divinity with him, ready to absorb it when he had the time.
While the God of Flowers and Fertile Ground was a lesser god and completely absorbing it wouldn’t ascend him into a greater god, it could be considered a great supplement. Heaven knows when the Fourth Divine War would blow up, and having substantial divine power to strengthen his foundation was already good enough. And from the looks of the Divine Order of that divinity, its Authority would help Xi Wei with his shortcoming of ‘farming’. “But before time, it’s time I make a move,” Xi Wei said, flexing his tentacles. “Or my believers would all die out…”
