980 Deicide Part 2 (1/2)

Reincarnation allowed the bloodied, grotesque body of the divine child to develop a perfect, complete body, yet it did not allow her to become a god. The body was just like any other human's, instead being of an energy construct that resembled a human's body. After forcing her way off of the altar, the divine baby girl suffered grievous injuries all over. The pain deep within her soul rendered her almost completely insane.

The twenty-four chains seemed to still stir within her soul. With every stirring it seemed like her soul was to be seen torn apart in twenty-four pieces.

The Shackles of the Fallen went past all obstacles and stayed to harm her soul. Her soul healed continuously and was then torn apart right after. If she had not been reincarnated, and she was not half god and half human, she would have ended up dead.

The injuries suffered on her body were all the same. After forcing her way off of the altar, the divine baby girl's body was all a mess of flesh and blood. The injuries burst right after they were healed by the green energies. The pain had her screaming at the top of her lungs, leaving her without any hint of dignity or pride usually seen in gods.

A flicker of pale divine fire sparked at the depths of the divine baby girl's soul amidst the pain. The divine fire began to burn, enveloping her soul. The shade of the twenty-four chains were no longer able to tear at her soul. They remained stirring all the time, bringing her great pain.

Such a pain was what she considered bearable.

She crossed the one mile in the blink of an eye and arrived at the foot of the Magical Element Tower. Nailisi's reactions had never been slow ones, yet when she was about to enter the tower, the divine baby girl's finger had already found its target.

Nailisi knew she stood no chance at defending against the attack, and she retracted her body into the dark instead.

The shot from the finger missed. Green energy exploded from the divine baby girl's finger, enveloping the Magical Element Tower completely, cutting off all teleportation portals off, leaving Nailisi stranded outside.

Saleen's mind was suspended in fear all of a sudden. The divine child was suffering grievous injuries, yet her combat capacity remained far superior to even Nailisi's absolute limit. His mental powers were unable to lock onto the divine child, rendering the family badge in his hand completely useless.

”You are in way over your head!” The divine baby girl's bloodied palm reached into the darkness after locking down the tower, and fished Nailisi right from it. Nailisi activated her collection of purgatories yet was unable to throw the divine baby girl inside.

The difference in levels was just too great. Despite suffering grievous injuries, she risked cutting her lifespan short and lit up her divine fire, forcing her advancement to the levels of pseudogod. While she fell short of attaining grade-13 power and was unable to use grade-13 rules, but nothing Nailisi and Saleen had on them would have worked against her.

To a mage, being unable to lock onto one's target would mean that one's combat capacity getting reduced by more than half of what it was.

Nailisi's two other heads slumped, as she was being held at the neck by the divine child. The divine child shook her arms a little, and all of Nailisi's weapons dropped onto the floor. That was the first time Saleen saw Nailisi to be utterly helpless. She had not been so helpless even when she was fighting against the angel of fear.

”Is Nailisi going to die?” The thought had Saleen feeling very cold inside. Everything about Nailisi rushed to his head in an instant. ”For the past several years, what has the imp got from me? Nothing.” It was a truth that simply could not be covered by advancement, no matter how great. Her soul remained controlled in his hands. Everything Nailisi owned was his. She had no way of fighting back.

Saleen knew of everything Nailisi did. She was just a child who failed to grow up, and one who wanted to find warmth in her parents' embrace. She had been unreasonable at times, brutal at other times, and incomprehensible at yet some other times. Most around her feared her, yet the imp had not truly grown until that very moment. She remained a lost soul.

”Now, is that imp who has yet to grow up is going to die?”

Seeing how the divine child held Nailisi by the neck, the cold feeling in his chest began to recede, replaced by a fire that was gradually burning up.

”Let her go!” Saleen's voice was heard from the tower, albeit somewhat muffled by the green energy barrier.

”Alright,” The divine child slammed her onto the ground, crushing all the bones below her waist and her legs were turned into a bloody mess. Her remaining half was writhing on the floor.

Saleen, after seeing the divine child let go of Nailisi, stepped outside the Magical Element Tower, which rendered Nicholas completely dumbfounded. Mist began to build around Saleen's body, whipping up a powerful vortex in the seawater. He held onto the family badge in his hand, charging in the divine child's direction.

”You are a stupid one. Here I thought I had yet to find a way to get to you out of the tower...”

The divine baby girl held back the pain inside her and took a step forward, coming to face Saleen. Her naked body was engulfed in green energy. Tens of vines whipped up from the sides of her torso, wrapping Saleen's body tightly.

Nicholas felt a pain surging up to his brain. He was thoroughly frightened, as he had never seen Saleen being so careless. Nicholas chanted ancient words without any hesitation, bringing about a bright light in the Scepter of the Fallen in his hand.
