Chapter 971: The Battle of the Great Divine Powers (Part 3)

With Sui Xiong’s current level of power, he was certainly able to assist in this battle of the great Divine Powers as long as he found the right time to do so.

The time was now, and he had found an opportunity where the God of Light could not strike back.

In reality, gods could grow numerous limbs, but no one would do that in a battle with a peer that had equal strength level. This was because one could only use their maximum powers when they were in a form they were most familiar with.

The God of Light was a human, and he was of course most familiar with only having two arms and two legs. The two legs were meant for him to stand upright and could not be used for other things randomly. All he could use were his hands. The God of Light had already used his right hand to attack the Master of Order and had spent too much energy, making it impossible for him to immediately retract it. Now, only his left hand was free and usable. He could only use his left hand to defend against any possible attack by the Master of Order, or rather, Sui Xiong, who had appeared out of nowhere.

This was a rather tough choice to make as either way, the God of Light would have to face danger. Yet, at the same time, it was still a simple choice as well as no matter how powerful Sui Xiong was, he could not be as powerful as an angry Master of Order.

Enduring Sui Xiong’s attack was still better than that of the Master of Order’s.

The God of Light thus simply turned his body slightly in an attempt to defend against Sui Xiong’s attack. His left hand remained in the air and pointed towards the Master of Order.

What the Master of Order proceeded to do next was not surprising as well. Once Sui Xiong had intervened, this leader of the world for the past few decades immediately understood that now was the chance to reverse the battle outcome and emerge victorious. He raised his left fist without hesitation and used all the strength he had left to hit the God of Light sharply.

This was a rather opportune attack, and he hit the God of Light the same time Sui Xiong did. The God of Light thus had no choice but could only raise his fists in an attempt to defend himself. To a Great Divine Power, whatever pose or battle stance they used did not really matter. Once fists were exchanged, there were only two outcomes of either getting hit or defending, but it was impossible to hide.

In comparison, no matter how fast Sui Xiong’s attack was, he could not beat the God of Light’s swift dodging. The God of Light thus felt that he had nothing much to fear.

Well, he was wrong. Sui Xiong’s attack was similarly one that he was unable to fully hide from.

After receiving the Dragon of Chaos’ inheritance, although Sui Xiong was still not quite considered a great Divine Power and had a small gap to fill before he could reach that stage, he was not far from attaining that level.

To Sui Xiong, as long as he aimed properly and was not completely blocked, he would definitely be able to damage the God of Light.

This was similar to a character’s key move in a random card game that he used to play on Earth. As long as the card was not blocked by an action card like “Invincibility” or “Iron Wall,” he would definitely be able to launch a successful attack or even a fatal one at that.

If it was not for Sui Xiong being stressed and focused right now, he would definitely have cheekily tried to emulate the game character’s catchphrases while attacking the God of Light, saying things like “I will now take your heart…”

The God of Light had dodged the swift attack that Sui Xiong had launched with his sword by turning his body, but the sword that resembled a shooting star did not bend or turn but instead directly hit the God of Light in his throat.

At the speed of a shooting star, the God of Light’s head left his body and flew high in the sky, his shocked expression still painted on.

Even before waiting for his reaction, the shooting star had already expanded like a giant web and sucked his brain in before rushing off and flying to goodness knows where. Decapitation!

This type of injury, to anyone else, would almost certainly be fatal. However, to the gods, it was not such a huge deal. Gods mostly needed to protect the core of their divinity. As long as the core was not destroyed, any injury, big or small, would not be an issue. Furthermore, the core of a god’s divinity was flexible and not fixed in shape or size. Be it beheading or even the disintegration of the body, they could all just be considered changes in the body.

Yet, in a crucial battle like this, the loss of the brain was a rather serious matter.
