Chapter 1408 - The Body of Divinity (1/2)

Hao Ren acted quickly and decisively. After the explosion and gunfire, the entire stone platform and golden coffin were completely covered in dust and blue crystal dust. Truthfully, Hao Ren wanted to throw the bomb outside the coffin, but he was afraid that the place would collapse…

After the explosion, Hessiana did not immediately react. She stared at the coffin for a long time before she asked, “Why did you just blow it up?”

Hao Ren blew away the smoke from his gun and answered, “What else should I have done? Wait for it to come back to life? It’s been lying in the coffin for hundreds of thousands of years, waiting for others to dig its grave so that it can rise up in anger. Surely it’s not a good guy… Uh, Vivian, I’m not talking about you…”

“…I know. I just want to let you know—it doesn’t seem dead,” Vivian said.

Hao Ren’s expression froze for a moment, looking at the smoky stone platform (now, less than a third of the stone platform was left, and the upper half had been completely vaporized). Amid the smoke and dust above the stone platform, a little wisp of black and red slowly condensed. The temperature in the whole hall dropped rapidly.

It was not dead!!!

It did not die under the direct fire of the psionic gun!!

For a moment, Hao Ren felt like his heart had stopped beating, as that was absolutely something that had never happened before. Not that he had never met an enemy whom the psionic gun could not kill, but those enemies were basically big guys like the Firstborn and Lockmarton. Due to their huge body, the psionic gun’s limited range of damage could not cause enough harm to them. However, after eliminating the size difference, his gun should theoretically have killing power over all targets!

The thing, which was coming out of the coffin, did not look like it was beyond the psionic gun’s range of damage in any way, because even the coffin had been destroyed by the psionic ray.

How did it avoid being bombarded by the psionic rays in advance? Or was it really a super life form that could fight off psionic energy?

Hao Ren did not have much time to think carefully because the dust on the stone platform had gradually cleared away by then, while the entity condensed from the black and red fog was about to become a solid figure. This time, instead of hurling a bunch of explosives at it, he stood guard with a gun in one hand and a lance in the other as he made everyone else position themselves to face the enemy.

He intended to see what it was, but he did not plan on putting anyone in danger. As he prepared to face the enemy, he silently recited a prayer of higher-order divinity in his heart. A milky light radiated from him and coalesced in front of everybody to form a looming barrier. Lines of text moved across the surface of the barrier, instantly refreshing. The words described Raven 12345 as a wise and sacred goddess. They also said that she was imbued with divinity and was a true god. In addition, there were swear words, which required mosaics.

The swear words were facing outwards, indicating that the enchantment was both offensive and defensive.

Y’lisabet stretched her voice as she watched the shield rise before her eyes. “Ooooh…”

As the barrier took shape, the black and red smoke on the stone platform finally coalesced into a solid figure.

It was a woman, enveloped in a frenzy of black and red mist. Her body seemed to be constantly shifting between the virtual and the real. Her long, blood-red hair floated behind her, its ends falling like black ash. On the woman’s face, a hazy mist blocked her features. Hao Ren could only see a pair of blood-red lights shining in her eyes. The flames in her eyes were so fierce it could burn the whole world.

“My… Malevolence?” Vivian gasped.

“So it’s your Malevolence?”Hao Ren asked without looking back. “Well, it looks like you… but this Malevolence has no face.”

“No face?” Vivian froze. “I can see it clearly. Its face is just like mine.”

Hao Ren was on guard, but when he heard Vivian’s words, he was shocked. “Wait, you can see her face? Isn’t there a layer of mist on her face?” he asked.

“No. We’re seeing different things again?”
