979 Deicide Part 1 (2/2)

Nailisi's emergence mitigated the crisis looming over the magic tower immediately. The grade-9 monsters that originally intended to climb up the tower were no longer a threat to the small window up in the seventeenth floor. Vinny hacked away patiently, and its grade-12 magic nuclei were eventually depleted. More than three-hundred grade-9 believers were left on the altar by then.

Saleen took out yet another seven pieces of magic nuclei without a care. Among all the magic nuclei given to him by the grandmaster, grade-12 nuclei were the most numerous. The numbers grew fewer as their levels grew higher. Saleen had no care of his expenditure of the magic nuclei, so long as he was able to kill the divine baby.

The divine baby girl's wrath practically shot up to the heavens as she took the scene in. Her level of power after reincarnation was that of a pseudogod at the highest. She had no means of leaving the altar and had been able to do nothing but see personally how the magic tower deployed its cannon to again, attacking the Life Protection at the altar. Every single shot brought down one believer.

The divine baby girl stood and produced a low rumbling voice in her throat. Her believers shuddered in fear, having no idea what caused their god to become so irritable. The divine child came up to her previous body and took hold of the chains.

Black smoke rose from the Shackles of the Fallen, but it was the smooth, silky skin of the divine baby girl that burned to ashes, revealing the bones underneath. She took her hand back in a panic and glared at her original body. She was starving at that moment, and the energies within her body remained unruly, needing suppression urgently. She would be able to fully mature as soon as she ate up her original body.

Eating her originally body would also mean eating the brandings on it. The twenty-four chains would once again lash out to hold her body in place, preventing her from the leaving the altar ever again.

The twenty-four chains shackled not only her body and soul, but also her fate. Under the rules of the Shackles of the Fallen, it would have been useless even if she had advanced into the ranks of pseudogod.

”Who was the one who chained me up here? It was that peerless god of the plane!” The divine baby girl knocked on her head furiously, wanting to have the questions solved. There was no record nor hint as to why she had been chained up right there in her memories. It seemed like she had been practically born on the altar.

The other part of memory told her that she was someone who ruled the plane. She was adored, worshipped, and sung about by billions.

There seemed to be a gap in her memory, and the depth of that gap seemed to be something that even her immense divinity was unable to see through.

Her believers, numbering to over three-hundred, laid prostrate right there. The divine child turned around and looked at them, with an incredibly furious and eerie expression on her face. ”Since all of you are going to die one way or another, how about…”

Vroom!

Another huge ripple was seen on the Life Protection, and yet another believer dropped onto the floor without a sound. The believer simply slumped where they were, looking like they had their bones pulled out of their bodies.

”O' believers, I need your powers,” The divine child spoke, and that time, in pure ancient Myers language.

”Our peerless god like no other, your will is our way,” The believers answered.

The divine baby girl opened her mouth slowly. Her mouth became increasingly wide, stretching to a diameter of three yards, and produced a huge vortex of power. The believers at the altar did not resist. They were quickly swept up by the vortex and ended up devoured by the divine baby girl.

Such manner of devouring differed from that of her original body. She was able to gobble up all three-hundred believers and more in one go. Her stomach did not inflate to show the amount of beings she had just devoured, seemingly like there was another space within capable of taking in all three-hundred of them.

Boom...

The magic cannon shot right through Life Protection, hitting the divine child's original body. It was rendered a mess of charred blood and flesh in an instant. The divine baby girl smirked coldly, as five green vines shot from her palm and penetrated the invisible barrier at the edge of the altar. She then pulled with all her might, flinging her body outside.

The divine baby girl was covered in blood, especially her torso and her arms, where the bones underneath were clearly seen. Gashes searing deep into the marrow were seen on her bones as well.

Green-colored energies burst forth from her body, enveloping her injured parts. She moaned in pain as she made her way to Saleen's Magical Element Tower. Her body looked like a flash of green light, streaking across the long chasm.

”Nailisi!” Saleen summoned her at the top of his lungs. The demon was still fighting out there, while the divine baby had freed herself!
