Chapter 231: Chapter 141: Even Divinity Bleeds (2)

“Mm…”

The Blood Erosion Tyrant let out a heavy groan, its terrifying gigantic body consumed by a furious burn, the Flame Dragon Soul surrounding his Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor also extinguished by the flames.

The surface of his body quickly darkened and then carbonized, the light of [Holy Power] continually shimmering on his skin, traces of [Holy Healing Skill] and [Radiant Shield], but almost useless against the tsunami-like platinum flames engulfing him.

The Blood Erosion Tyrant now seemed like a piece of pig iron thrown into a steel furnace, every inch of skin melting under the dreadful heat.

During this melting process, Ye Mingqiu did not retreat, even though the surface of his body had completely carbonized, his eyes destroyed, and ears lost their hearing, hardly recognizable, he still stepped forward.

The true tyrant never retreats or evades in such circumstances!

I am betting my life on an opportunity

An opportunity, one I am unsure will even appear.

The moves of divinity are overwhelmingly flawless, but if I can make Him reveal a slight flaw during attack… then in that moment after successfully executing the move, will He experience an instant energy stop, a discontinuous flaw?

Perhaps, perhaps not.

In battling divinity, hoping for Him to expose a flaw willingly is wishful thinking; I must actively attack and then find the flaw, only then is success possible.

The opportunity… has arrived!!

When the Blood Erosion Tyrant was completely consumed by the platinum flames, nearly burnt to a crisp, a brief cessation occurred in the rushing golden-red liquid at Fire God-Hephaestus’s wrist, an exceedingly slight flaw almost imperceptible.

But the [Innate Perception] as high as Level 5 allowed Ye Mingqiu to sense that flaw, even though at that moment he had lost all senses, unable to confirm whether his perception was reality…

But! Without betting, how could there be success!

Abandon healing!

The moment Ye Mingqiu forsook the use of [Holy Power] for healing, his HP rapidly plummeted to 0, but the passive of [Undying Tyrant] allowed him to recover 20% HP in a short time, his body’s functions restored, no longer rigid due to carbonization.

And his prior steps toward [Hephaestus], narrowing the distance, became a significant prelude.

The Blood Erosion Tyrant smiled, his gigantic body bending, storing power, channeling all his remaining strength into the Blood Spear, using dark giant hands to overdraw and execute a strike at the cost of his life.

Then, he utterly perished, in the torrent of platinum flames, turning into black charcoal, devoured and melted by the scorching flames.

The Blood Spear shot forth, symbolizing Ye Mingqiu’s power-endowed strike, and his absolute sincerity to battle.

“Bang!”

The blood-colored meteor broke through the ocean of platinum flames, in [Hephaestus]’s astonished gaze, hurtled toward him, aiming with incredible precision at the flaw on His wrist, slicing through.

“Sizzle!”

The crisp sound of slicing through [Hephaestus]’s molten wrist resounded, brilliant golden blood plummeting from the sky, landing in the platinum sea of flames.

Am I… injured?

[Hephaestus] glanced at his wrist in surprise, the flowing golden blood gradually restoring as if uninjured, but the stabbing sensation during the process, and the falling blood proved its reality.

It is hard to imagine someone could harm divinity, which [Hephaestus] deemed an utterly incredible occurrence.

“Interesting.”

[Hephaestus] flashed a slight smile, suddenly felt it somewhat regrettable; at this moment, the … stored in the [Soul Realm Contract] was but a projection of Him, though possessing wisdom and the ability for thought, not connected to the main body.

So, whatever He witnessed and felt here couldn’t be shared with the main body.

Clearly, this is an amusing matter, yet unable to share with the main body is quite unfortunate, the kind of issue [Soul Realm Contract] entails.

….

[Challenge Failed]

[Hephaestus remaining HP: 99.9%]

So, did my final strike succeed in breaking [Hephaestus]’s defense, right?

Ye Mingqiu’s face broke into a smile, having roughly comprehended the strength of divinity from the battle just now.

[Hephaestus] possesses basic attributes far beyond Dominator Level, along with skill judgment, and various terrifying passive bonuses, whether speed, power, or attacks wielding authority are absurdly strong.

Furthermore, more crucially, Ye Mingqiu did not challenge a suppressed Level 3 Divinity because the opponent’s four-dimensional attributes did not reach the Level 1 limit like Omaragon’s Remains.

Divinity in full bloom cannot fail to reach four-dimensional attributes in a suppressed state.

Then…

The answer is only one

That is, [Hephaestus] possesses such power under equivalent levels!

Though outwardly He appears only Tier 1 Level 3, His strength remains disproportionate, even causing a formidable Tier 2 fighter to be slain easily by Him.

No wonder He is divinity

Just uncertain if killing divinity in the [Soul Realm Contract] challenge could fulfill the advanced condition of the Seven-star Title [Godslayer], given its condition involves killing a deity in full bloom frontally.

The [Hephaestus] within the Soul Realm Contract indeed represents a deity in full bloom, merely of slightly lower level, but the issue lies in the fact that the entities in Soul Realm Contract aren’t true forms, the [Godslayer] title likely cannot progress by slaying such fictional divinity, useful only as a reference for power.
