1505 Ascertaining Weaknesses Part 2 (2/2)
But then again, the goddess had helped him to work on the Hall of Gods. So long as he had a power supply that proved massive enough, he would have been able to alter the flow of time, and that would have enabled him to develop powers great enough to threaten the goddess within a short period of time.
Despite the messed-up state of mind he was currently in, his hands continued to work well. He fired off hundreds of electric snakes and took control of them in the immediate vicinity of the cage. After the beam of white light was shot into the Heretic God's body, it was no longer able to create huge patches of black mist.
All five of them intended to cast their most potent attacks at the same time.
The general and the grandmaster did not want to see any more of their own being sacrificed, while the goddess was worried that the Heretic God would soon really be able to burst out of the cage. Things would have been fine if it intended to fight her to the death if it did break out. She was most afraid of it wanting to escape instead.
The Heretic God had entered the plane in a problematic way, yet the method it had used actually gave it an advantage in escaping. It would have been able to simply cast the body away and return to its divine kingdom. It would have regained its powers by just resting for one or two hundred years.
Options would have opened up for the Heretic God once the blood-red cage was broken. The goddess would have never allowed the Heretic God to do much, however. She was determined to kill the Heretic God, even if it meant having to destroy the Lightning Moon.
The Lightning Moon was wrestled out of Saleen's control and returned to its place above the goddess's head. Countless holy prose appeared on her hand, all of which were replicated projections.
Saleen was initially feeling irked about having the Lightning Moon taken away from him, but he quickly focused himself at that moment for fear of missing out on anything. He had even contacted Dante to inquire about the holy prose.
Both Dante and Saleen memorized them. Those were not scripts created by the Goddess of Nature; they were holy prose of a Thunder God.
The goddess did not know the meaning of those holy prose, as they were something stolen, enabling her to cast her most powerful lightning attack just once.
Both the general and the grandmaster were oblivious to what the goddess was doing. She had achieved impeccable mastery of the invisibility ability of the Lightning Moon.
Both the general and the grandmaster were giving their all to prepare their next attacks as well.
They had been using instant attacks up until then. Their next attacks were something they needed to prepare for quite some time. The Heretic God continued flinging its arms around. The others were unable to see the Lightning Moon, but not the Heretic God. Such invisibility ability was fundamentally an extension of its powers. Weapons crafted from its bones were capable of staying completely invisible, after all.
The Lightning Moon hovered above the goddess's head. The runes in the goddess's hand struck fear into the Heretic God's mind.
It never expected the goddess to actually be able to command such terrifying objects or to be able to cast skills that should have belonged only to the Thunder God.
The Heretic God was a ferocious being itself and had killed a great many gods, losing only to a god once. Its eyes had been damaged by the Thunder God, robbing it of its sight for 120 thousand years.
The Heretic God was terrified. It did not want to relive those 120 thousand years of being unable to see anything again.
It became determined to run away, so much so that it was willing to give up ever coming to such a major plane again. Regardless of how brutal and furious the goddess had been, it was still utterly impossible for her to locate its divine kingdom.
No one would have expected that such a terrifying creature as the Heretic God would have wanted to run when facing the Goddess of Myers.
Fewer would have expected that it was an outcome that resulted from Saleen's continuous use of Thundering Sound skills. Thundering Sound skills were not skills that shocked targets to submission right away. They were something that would continuously corrode the souls of enemies, causing them to fall under the skills' influence without knowing it. That was the most terrifying thing about the Thundering Sound skills.
Only when the mental defenses of enemies crumbled would the Thundering Shock be able to deal the killing blow. Furthermore, there was no way one could have been immune to Thundering Sound skills unless the enemy in question was versed in such abilities as well. Level differences would have only diminished the power of Thundering Sound, but it would not have been able to nullify it altogether.
The Heretic God, subjected to pressure from the goddess and the others, was oblivious to what a mage like Saleen was capable of, resulting in it lowering its guard against him, which in turn enabled Saleen's skill to work in secret.
Clanging noises continued to be heard as the Heretic God attacked the blood-red cage in a frenzy. One heroic spirit after another dropped to the ground, giving up their lives to maintain the cage's integrity.
The general's eyes were bloodshot, and the projection of a weapon was gradually seen on his left arm. It was a shield of a rusty red color and had 12 pointy spikes on the front.
That was the weapon that the general was most proficient in. It would have stayed intact so long as his soul remained. Every time such a piece of equipment was used, it meant that the general no longer could afford to run. He had to kill the enemy, as the loss of that equipment would have caused him considerable damage.
A magic book materialized in the grandmaster's hand. As heroic spirits, only equipment that was the closest to them would not have been lost.
That magic book had 18 magic spells, with six of them being level 18 ones. They were all interconnected, enabling them to all be cast in one go.
Those spells were originally meant for taking on the goddess, but at present, he had to use them against the Heretic God. However, the grandmaster would not have regretted it, as the direction in which the Heretic God was attempting to escape was right in front of him.
The Heretic God did not dare to face the Lightning Moon, so the grandmaster misunderstood the Heretic God's actions as the god intending to devour him and the general before taking on the goddess.
The weakness of the heroic spirits was that they were food that tasted great to the gods. The Heretic God's injuries would have all healed once it had eaten up the heroic spirits before it.
