The thunder of divine punishment will not stop because of the thoughts of mortals, and time will not stop flowing forward because of the anger of mortals... At least not for now.
And in the rolling torrent of time, Xia De, at the moment when the thunder fell, actually felt the speed of light clearly and sensed the strange changes in space under the thunder of divine punishment.
The furious soul allowed his already keen perception to explore the deeper secrets of the world. The tentacles of the soul embraced the world, and the instant perception of space made Shade feel as if he had broken some strange shackles. The knowledge he gained from the superficial discussion of the secrets of space with Miss Sylvia flowed through his heart like water. In a strange state of rage, he took a step forward, hugged Xiaomia by the lake, and then blocked the falling thunder with his back.
Outsider, you have some understanding of "space", and you have gained enlightenment about space. Thaumaturgy-Ragra's jump, the maximum moving distance in the state of divine afterglow is extended from 33 feet (about 10 meters) to 66 feet (about 20 meters).
Boom!
The thunder fell, and the dark clouds above the head only sounded thunder slightly after the lightning. In the rumbling thunder, the black clouds quickly dissipated, revealing the starry sky behind the dark clouds. And the first ray of starlight was shining on the shore of Schluchsee Lake at this time, shining on the stranger who was facing the sky with his back.
The clothes on his back were almost completely destroyed, and the skin on his back turned black. Under the increasingly clear starry sky, Xia De held onto the ground and straightened up with difficulty, and carefully placed the cat that he had just protected firmly on his shoulder.
"Woof!"
The thunder of divine punishment was completely blocked by Shad's body, and the illusion rune stone made by Tifa was not damaged. Mia "the dog" cried pitifully, as if worried about Shad's health. It seemed to be frightened, but it looked completely unhurt, and even the cat's fur was not changed.
It was obvious that the last time Xia De faced the lightning, almost all of his organs failed, but this time he only suffered damage to the skin on his back and his internal organs.
The last leaf of Eternal Youth was swallowed by Xia De, and his body was recovering rapidly. The black arcs were still jumping on his body. He looked at his right hand, and the lightning gathered in the palm of his hand.
As Xia De took a deep breath, a gray air current flowed into his nostrils from all over his body, and the clothes damaged by lightning slowly recovered as if time was going backwards.
Patting the pitiful cat, Shade looked up at Karl Leipzig, who was standing on the lake with his whole body trembling. As the furious divine punishment was closed again, the white fog brought by the descent of the location-type relic was coming back again, but this did not prevent the two people on the lakeside and the lake from looking directly at each other.
The life ring on the cultist's back was attached with electric light, but under the moonlight, clear cracks appeared on the surface of the life ring. This was the price of using the relic.
Xia De was looking at him in the moonlight. His gaze, which was gradually obscured by the white mist, made Karl Leipzig feel the fear that almost made him unable to breathe. The rage contained in that calm gaze was a power that he was very familiar with.
He vaguely realized that he had just made a wrong choice:
"you... ... "
Shade stepped back into the lake, but behind him was not only the white mist on the lake, but also the scorching steam. The bell and the whistle rang together, and a huge black shadow carrying enough heat to boil the lake surface appeared in the depths of the steam mist, slowly approaching and revealing its full appearance.
There were flashing spiritual runes of gold, silver, copper and iron. As the terrifying and huge life ring rotated, streaks of light were drawn out, and white mist was rolled up as if to devour all power.
Although Shade has not yet obtained divinity, the two lightning strikes caused by divine power, coupled with the interpretation of the "Book of Mad Thunder" over the past few months, have made him understand the power of the evil god's furious storm.
He did not speak, and the lightning in his palms rushed towards the life ring like an electric snake with a crackling sound. As the bright lightning wrapped around the brass ring, the extreme silver blasphemous spiritual light was enriching the life ring from all directions along with the white mist. Silver light streams emerged in the air, but only Karl Leipzig, who was opposite to Shade, could see this unusual scene.
In the fog, "she" is whispering:
When the first lightning streaked across the starry sea of the material world, it was not meant to conceal the rage of fear. The gods of old raised waves in the stormy sea, and lightning was a powerful weapon for her to protect herself.
You have listened to the story of the old god "Raging Storm", and you have learned of the blasphemy of the old god "Raging Storm".
Outsider, you have engraved the silver profane rune - Thunder.
The high-speed rotating life ring gradually slowed down. The second spiritual rune of the fourth ring, Thunder, was clearly engraved in the blasphemous spiritual light and appeared on the life ring with a flashing spiritual light.
Karl Leipzig swallowed his saliva and subconsciously retreated on the lake:
"So you are only a fourth ring too."
He didn't know why he should care about this at the moment.
But looking at the fiery red figure with cracks all over his body, and seeing his clothes restored to their original state as if time had gone back, he knew that he might have chosen the wrong opponent this time. Perhaps, he should have chosen the ugly woman with six rings just now:
"Ms. Pavo, the vice president of the Truth Society, already knew the probability. She deliberately left this opponent to me..."
The three-ring life ring looked as ridiculous as a keychain against the background of Shade's strange huge life ring. But Karl Leipzig still tried his best to activate his own life ring, so that he could defend against the next angry attack when he temporarily lost the qualification to open the furious punishment again.
"Storm Barrier!"
The blasphemous rune storm flashed with spiritual light, and the finger bones of the sailors killed by his own hands on the stormy night were thrown out, making the magic work to its full effect.
"Bone Armor!"
The core spirit rune bones were glowing with spiritual light. After presiding over a living sacrifice to the gods, the bone powder made from skulls contaminated with divine power that were picked up from the corpse pit was poured at his feet, and an exoskeleton visible to the naked eye was growing rapidly along the body.
"Vincent's Mirror Reflection!"
The Whispering Spirit Rune Mirror was glowing with light, and the chips obtained from the employer after completing the assassination mission were scattered into the air, forming a completely transparent reflective mirror in front of him.
"The water curtain..."
He no longer had the chance to use the fourth magic. The chains of sin broke through the fog like bullets and came to him. While entangled with the furious divine punishment, the lightning that the relic automatically counterattacked and burst out could not cause any harm to Shade.
The chain was retracted, and the brass metal box was brought back to Shade. Shade held the box in his left hand and looked at the panicked Karl Leipzig on the lake. The latter had never expected that the relic would be taken away so easily. He said in a trembling voice:
"You are not a believer in the Lord, you cannot use this..."
The lid of the box was opened, and Xia De's right hand reached directly into the box, as if the box "bite" his hand. In this state, the relic was not on the verge of losing control, but seemed to be completely silent.
As the brilliant golden light seeped out from the opening of the box, it spread along the inch-by-inch cracks on Shade's arm, crawling all over Shade's body. Karl Leipzig felt an indescribable fear that almost made him want to crawl to his knees on the ground. He vaguely understood what he had encountered:
"you!"
"I am you..."
The remaining radiance of the primordial fire was being completely suppressed by the afterglow of divinity. Shade heard her chuckling, as if she had already anticipated this situation.
The warm air flowed across his ears, and it seemed as if two gentle arms were hugging Shade's neck from both sides, but when he looked down, there was clearly nothing there.
... ... You are me.
The brass box covered with waterweed fell to the ground and then broke into several pieces of black rusty metal. Xia De raised his right hand high. Although there was nothing in the palm of his hand, the golden afterglow that was originally spreading inch by inch now flowed through his body like water, completely covering the remaining red.
As he raised his right hand and clenched it tightly, the golden afterglow completely infected every crack on his skin and clothes by the Schluchsee Lake. The familiar sense of power swept through Shade's soul again, and his instinctive joy made him sigh at this moment:
"This is—power!"
The power of divinity swept through his body, and then was safely contained by his soul. After obtaining another drop of divinity, he felt an indescribable joy and satisfaction throughout his body, which made Xia De, who was always calm, smile at this moment.
Outsider, you have absorbed the divinity of the old god "Raging Storm".
You have some understanding of "rage", "storm" and "power".
Outsider, you have entered a short "divine overflow" state. Be aware that excessive use of the power of this state will cause a short period of coma.
The reason why he failed to obtain the spirit rune this time was because Shade had just understood the power of "thunder" from the attack of divine power. At this moment, he completely absorbed the power of the evil god's furious storm, and his whole body seemed to be in the best state of joy. Shade knew what he should do.
The life ring disappeared behind him, and the afterglow of divinity gradually extinguished in his body, but when Shad opened his eyes, Karl Leipzig clearly saw two flashes of golden lightning in his eyes.
"you... ... "
The incredible fact seemed to be right in front of him, but because of fear, Karl Leipzig, who had no eyebrows, could not think at all. Although Shade was on the shore, and he was on the surface of Lake Schluch and prepared to resist any kind of attack, the feeling that he would die in the next second became stronger and stronger.
"Are you okay?"
Shade touched the cat on his shoulder. He used the "Ragray Leap" to his limit to block the thunder of divine punishment for Mia. At this time, except that Mia's hair stood up due to static electricity, the other thing was that she behaved very normally. She was even a little scared and grabbed Shade's clothes tightly with her little paws.
Knowing that it was fine for the time being, Xia De was relieved. Although he did not obtain the Rage Spirit Rune, the anger in his heart at this moment was definitely not false.
He had to attend the banquet which was not over yet, so he could not abuse the power of "divine overflow". However, he was different from when he first came to Lake View Manor and came into contact with divinity. If it was just one or two casual attacks, he could still bear it.
"Thunder is part of the sunshine."
He spoke softly, recalling the several times he had used Yin Luna's brooch, and the feeling of the golden spear made of the power of the chosen one being projected from his hand.
Shade jumped lightly into the air, and Karl Leipzig stared at Shade as he raised his right hand, watching the crackling thunder accumulate in his hand. The cultist who had lost the holy relic knew in his heart that he needed to escape at this moment, but his body was completely out of control.
Behind Xia De, a corner of the life ring was revealed, and the thunder spirit rune was flashing with a strong silver light.
The thick fog in the lake seemed to be deliberately avoiding Shade. Carl Leipzig's eyes reflected all the scenery. The silver and white lightning spear intertwined in Shade's hand in the air, spreading forward and backward with the palm of his hand as the center. Dense patterns appeared on the dazzling spear. At the same time as the thunderbolt exploded, the silver moon was behind Shade.
The devout believer knelt on his knees on the lake, raised his head and closed his eyes, and opened his arms towards the Shade above:
"God, why do you..."
The silver-white lightning spear was thrown, and Karl Leipzig was bathed in the lightning. Under the moonlight, he already knew his fate.
“Thunder gun!”
