822 The Poorest Villain in History (1/2)
The moment he finished his sentence, spots of peaceful light popped up like a lake that was reflecting the moon at night. Under the gentle breeze, tiny ripples were spreading out.
The spots of light were instantly gathered in Lucien's hands into a glistening staff.
Douglas, Maltimus, and the other demigods were all more or less stunned. Was Lucien capable of casting Space Staff, a legendary spell, without chanting just like Viken who broke into the level of true gods?
However, they soon thought it through. Now that Lucien had basically figured out the essence of magic, chanting or not chanting did not really have any difference!
The Space Staff in Lucien's hands was waved, and the spacious area up ahead was suddenly caught in an extremely slow state that was similar to the effect of Advanced Time Stop. Even another ”God's Arrival” in Viken's hands had been frozen in the ivory light.
Viken, who claimed to be the only one who grasped the mysteries of time and space except for the God of Truth, had brilliant spots rising inside his body, exactly like the light of the legendary river of time. It helped Viken to get rid of the slowed state.
Maltimus became grave when he watched Lucien's ”Space Staff” to be gathered, because he discovered that even though he was immune to Time Stop effects, he did not seem capable of resisting such slowness. Such a state was not directly cast upon the recipient but changed the environment in a certain unusual way. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be immune to that!
Was it Lucien's real demigod attack after he advanced into the demigod level? Like Douglas' ”Fateful Meteor”?
Douglas frowned slightly. He realized that the Space Staff had not just ”slowed” the environment around Viken but also placed it in a demigod state that both belonged to and did not belong to this world. It was similar to the condition of the ”cognitive world”.
Viken's overwhelming power of the true god was unleashed, allowing him to get rid of the influence of Lucien's Space Staff. At this moment, the perspective of the vast cosmos behind Lucien's back rose, and the gigantic fireball and the blue planet were gone. A cluster of darkness where there was not the slightest light appeared.
Boom!
From the darkness, the unimaginably horrible energy surged and quickly died down. Rising and ebbing, it was truly an unpredictable ocean of energy. This was too fast a change to be observed for the other universe, but when it was viewed from this side, due to the different speeds of time, the demigod experts could manage to sense the fluctuations!
Boom!
The terrifying energy that surged out leaned outward and ran into the slowed world next to Viken!
It became another channel that connected to the other universe like the cognitive world! Also, because it was slow, it had ”borrowed” the fluctuations of energy!
Boom!
Energy ran out as if it had been generated out of nothing, drowning Viken who was emanating dazzling brilliance immediately!
Particles appeared and disappeared in pairs. The slowed world was nullified very soon. At the center of the energy tide's rampage, a cluster of fluids where light and darkness entangled twisted and grew larger, turning back into Viken. However, he seemed much dimmer and weaker than before!
After suffering the heavy wounds, Viken was finally recovered and refreshed from the madness caused by the blast of negative feelings and the sacred faith. He gnashed his teeth and said, ”Just because my 'God's Arrival' cannot hit you does not mean that it cannot hit other people. I don't believe that you will watch them be killed without doing anything!”
Lucien was amused. ”Why don't you take a look around yourself first?”
Viken's senses, which had been suppressed by the energy tide, spread out. He felt that he was in midair and the Holy City was below him. As for Allyn and Rentato, as well as the legendary experts around him, they were nowhere to be seen.
”Previously, you were connected to every corner of the world and could even directly influence them only because of the marvelous domain when you broke into the true god level.
”It's a high-dimensional state, in which the long distance in the lower dimensions is much shorter. However, after you failed to break into the true god state, and the boundary between god and men was broken, the marvelous domain naturally started to disappear. Your usage of God's Arrival further accelerated the process and made it disappear fast. Right now, you can only affect the Holy City and attack us who are in the marvelous domain.”
Lucien said with a smile. On the other side, Douglas, the Silver Moon, and the Lord of Hell gathered and defended Fernando, Hathaway, and the rest of them. Although they could not resist God's Arrival in the true god level individually, they were still able to resist the attack after joining their hands.
Their communication was purely conducted through spiritual power. The long talk actually only took a brief moment. His body trembling violently, Viken cast another God's Arrival, and the projection of the parallel universe behind Lucien had perspective changes again!
......
After Viken attacked Lucien with God's Arrival for the first time only to miss the target, the legendary experts who attacked outside of the marvelous domain, as well as the sorcerers, nobles, and ordinary people on the ground, watched them turn vague and quickly disappear in the bright and blue sky.
”Why have they disappeared?”
It was their subconscious question, but very soon, every intelligent creature with the slightest knowledge came up with the reason. Viken's attempt at advancement was over. Naturally, the unusual phenomenon that the whole world could see and reach came to an end.
”I wonder how it will end on the other side…” Heidi looked at the sky in concern.
Sprint snorted. ”Viken has only the power but not the knowledge. I don't see how he can win the battle when he cannot hit our teacher. Let's drop the question and remember the equations and models that our teacher just gave to study them.”
”Yes, that's what matters!” Annick shivered and returned from his shock, agreeing with Sprint's suggestion.
