Chapter 605: Prayer (1/2)
GDK 605: Prayer
“You want to die?” Han Shuo looked askance at Tiana and sneered, “I’m not gonna let that happen easily!” Incorporeal whips landed on Tiana, causing her enormous blows to both her body and mind.
Tiana could neither escape nor evade Han Shuo’s whipping. All she could do was bear the double whammy humiliation. Below Tiana was a crowd of Shrine of Ice disciples. They were not being massacred by Pegasus and Graeae at this moment and were looking up to the sky, painfully watching Tiana being tormented like a caged bird.
Many of the disciples started to pray, praying for the god they believed in to provide assistance.
To these disciples, Snow Celestial Tiana was the mightiest existence of the Shrine of Ice. However, that very same person was being humiliated without even the capacity of escaping. This scene had truly caused them enormous wound to their spirituality.
If even Snow Celestial Tiana was too powerless to do anything, what exactly could these people do?
As disciples of the Shrine of Ice, for these pilgrims to be in this snowy holy land was proof in itself the staunch conviction that they had in their faith. And now that they were in utter and complete helplessness, their dependence towards the seemingly illusionary god was suddenly magnified by infinity.
Han Shuo’s whipping had left Snow Celestial Tiana’s snow-white gown tattered and ragged, revealing the wonderfully curvaceous body underneath. She looked no different from a degenerate servant being heavily punished for faults.
Pegasus and Graeae the banshee who came with Han Shuo had paused with their butchering. With their cold eyes, they gazed at Han Shuo who was taking his time in flogging Tiana in midair as they awaited further instructions.
It wasn’t clear who took the lead but at this moment, the powerless Shrine of Ice disciples on the frozen summits suddenly started to kneel and piously chanted, calling for the Ice Goddess’ blessing. The voice grew from low to high as everyone started singing it in unison. Some of those disciples even temporarily gave up on escaping to participate in this impressive scene.
Even Tiana, who knew that she had no way of escaping, harboring the most sincere belief towards the Ice Goddess, began to pray even when she had no idea if it would be answered.
The frozen mountains were located at the center of the snowland where cold wind and snow blew the wildest. The frozen mountain summits were like longswords piercing into the blue dome of heaven. It was rumored that the Ice Goddess had specifically selected this location to be the base of the Shrine of Ice. No one knew if there was anything profound about the choice, but the Shrine of Ice disciples had always felt that they could get closer to the Goddess and better receive her guidance in this place.
In reality, there really was something unique about these frozen mountains at the center of the snowland. Those disciples back at that time had actually altered the few frozen peaks in accordance with the instructions of the Ice Goddess.
The sound of prayers resounded throughout the whole snowy peaks. Towards the seemingly futile effort of these Shrine of Ice disciples, Graeae and Pegasus said nothing, only smearing their faces with ridiculing, contemptuous smiles. They felt that these people must have turned into fools after being intimidated by Han Shuo.
Even the basegod of darkness, Ayermike Cotton, thought the actions of these disciples to be absolutely senseless. He leisurely hovered amongst the clouds, beaming ear to ear as he watched Han Shuo beating up Tiana.
However, Han Shuo, whose strength was in a godly realm, could clearly sense some gradual changes to water elemental energy inside this snowfield as these Shrine of Ice disciples recited their prayers. A field similar to the Domain of Divinity was miraculously being produced at the center of the few frozen mountains.
“You demon, just kill me, I won’t let go you even in death!” Tiana’s shriek was mournful and even carried a weeping tone. After being repeatedly shamed by Han Shuo, with the double torment of her body and soul, Tiana was clearly on the brink of a breakdown.
Han Shuo did not pay attention to her crying, nor did he continue with the flogging. Glistening radiance shone from his two eyes as he observed the peculiar changes around the snowy mountains and thought about the abnormality of this holy land.
Suddenly, the element of water started to rapidly revolve at the center of these snowy mountains. Intensely frigid beams erupted from the tall and pointy structures at the summits of those snowy mountains. The powerful light beams radiating from those structures intersected with each other. Frosty aura abruptly burst forth, causing the temperatures in the surroundings to rapidly decline.
The snowland where the Shrine of Ice was located was a frozen mass to begin with. However, when the temperature suddenly plunged further, not only were these pious believers of the Ice Goddess not affected, every one of them started to cheer, “The Goddess is manifesting! The Ice Goddess has heard our prayers!”
All the aggressors, including Han Shuo, were affected by the cold air. The weather threatened to hamper them if they didn’t act fast. The air walls that Han Shuo used to keep Snow Celestial Tiana imprisoned started to creak. After streams of freezing cold air seeped through the air walls Han Shuo deployed, the air walls lost all of its original power.
Snow Celestial Tiana who was beaten black and blue clenched her teeth as she glared at Han Shuo. Her half-bare smooth, fair breasts bounced rapidly up and down. She screamed in a voice as cold as ice, “The Ice Goddess must have heard our prayers. None of you will be leaving this snowland alive!”
