Chapter 139: Ascension to Godhood, Creating a World!
The Dark Moon Goddess, hidden within the full moon of her avatar, was also visibly excited. The most important thing for her was to obtain the Newborn Sprout of Creation. However, if she could take this opportunity to kill the God of Heaven\'s Water, she might not be able to absorb his divine duties, but she could at least harvest a significant amount of Divine Power! Blood profit!
For Gloria, this victory was more valuable than a hundred years of arduous cultivation.
At this moment, the God of Heaven\'s Water was also roaring frantically, "No! If I can\'t have it, neither can you!"
He transformed the water into countless sharp blades, trying to destroy the Newborn Sprout of Creation within his own body.
In that instant.
Swish!!!
A milky white pillar of light suddenly appeared between the two gods, and a peculiar figure emerged.
The appearance of this figure was extremely peculiar, overly perfect and symmetrical, bringing about a strange, non-human feeling!
Surrounded by halos, his aura unmistakably reached the level of a god.
However, the amount of Divine Power he possessed seemed extremely weak, like a flickering candle in the wind, barely holding on. Judging by his level, he should be on par with the other two gods, in the category of weak Divine Power.
But in reality, one might classify this new god as "very weak" compared to the others.
The amount of Divine Power merely determines how long a god can fight before a quantitative change leads to a qualitative one.
Therefore, at this moment...
With the appearance of the figure bathed in light, everyone\'s mindset changed ever so slightly.
The players showed expressions of horror—no way, another one?
Gloria and Osmond slowly stopped their actions and temporarily ceased fighting, unsure of the situation concerning this newly emerged third god.
"The Archduke of Blood??"
"No, wait! Are you the enemy of the Archduke of Blood? Just cloaked in his aura??"
Gloria reacted quickly and immediately saw through the disguise of the third deity—he was emanating a milky white glow, clearly out of place among the hellish demons. How could he possibly be related to the Archduke of Blood?
It was evident that this was a blatant attempt at framing. The third deity wanted to cause trouble and let the Archduke of Blood take the blame. However, wasn\'t this plan somewhat clumsy? Who would believe it??
Gloria mentally concocted an entirely erroneous conclusion.
Because the third deity, Sterl, was merely borrowing the Archduke of Blood\'s aura to add a layer of disguise for himself.
At this moment, with Sterl\'s sudden appearance, the other two gods were wary of this strange newcomer, leading to a brief silence.
But Sterl couldn\'t afford to wait. His ascension to godhood would only last a few seconds. He needed to act swiftly! Moreover, every passing second meant a decrease in his Divine Power, causing him great distress. If it weren\'t for the unique circumstances of the Netherworld, Sterl wouldn\'t have been able to gather Divine Power at all!
He wanted to use this trump card a few more times in the future.
So, Sterl decided to strike decisively!
But just as he was about to make his move, he encountered an awkward problem.
Sterl\'s plan hadn\'t gone terribly wrong—in his godly state, he could indeed sense the Divine Power emanating from the Dark Moon Goddess and the God of Heaven\'s Water around him. As long as he kept his wits about him, it was impossible for Divine Power to cling to him.
Using his evolved teleportation scroll, he could escape completely undetected. Safety was assured.
However, it was precisely because he had ascended to godhood that he suddenly realized something: he had no skills to use.
Third-class players used gold-quality skills. Legendary players evolved these gold-quality skills into legendary abilities. Demigods utilized Law Power and platinum skills.
But at the godly level, merely having divine duties and Divine Power wasn\'t enough; one also needed "Prismatic-tier" skills—skills forged from a combination of multiple platinum-level skills and Law Power, integrated with divine duties.
The Dark Moon Goddess\'s ability to summon the dark moon and the God of Heaven\'s Water\'s ability to transform into countless tides were their prismatic-tier skills!
Sterl, however, had none of these!
In a divine battle, legendary abilities were a joke, and Law Power could only be effectively used in scenarios where strong Divine Power crushed weak Divine Power.
Sterl was at a loss! After ascending to godhood, his combat prowess was far inferior to that of Gloria and Osmond!
Only because the other two gods couldn\'t gauge his true strength did they refrain from attacking immediately.
It should be noted that Sterl had previously relied on his exceptional talent to challenge higher-level opponents, creating a psychological blind spot. He had assumed that his combat power wouldn\'t be lacking after ascending to godhood.
As it turned out—
He had become the weakest among his peers!
Fortunately, there was still a glimmer of hope!
After becoming a god, Sterl appeared to be deep in thought, but in reality, not even a split second had passed in the external world.
He knew that at least one skill could be useful in a divine battle!
That was the ability, [As a Creator\'s Act], which Sterl had previously obtained through the infinite evolution of the Star Radiance Dragon and shared using the primary star ability!
A part of the [Transcendence] authority!
Its rank surpassed even prismatic-tier skills!
Sterl, adopting a rather dramatic flair, snapped his fingers.
The sound was exceptionally crisp, reminiscent of the first cry of all creation during the dawn of time!
The two gods around him had no time to react before they felt themselves enveloped by a rapidly expanding, illusory galaxy.
They quickly tried to activate their skills to escape...
But it was impossible!
Sterl had used the brilliant galaxy within his mental domain as a blueprint to create two small worlds.
The two gods could accelerate to incredible speeds, but they remained trapped within those worlds.
"This isn\'t a binding skill! Nor is it some kind of spell!"
"It\'s the instantaneous creation of a world??"
"Is this the power of a Great Divine Power?? Or Vast Divine Power??"
What Sterl didn\'t know was that his small worlds weren\'t particularly sturdy, but they successfully trapped the enemies.
The reason being, Gloria and Osmond were scared witless!
Creating a world equates to having the power to create a divine kingdom, implying at least a Great Divine Power level god...
Holy crap!
Doesn\'t that mean we\'re doomed??
Gloria and Osmond were too terrified to even think about escaping...
Facing such a formidable god... the fact that he hadn\'t killed them outright was already a blessing! Trying to break out of his small world? That\'d be pure suicide!
For a moment, the two gods remained incredibly obedient, staying motionless within the galaxy! In reality, they hadn\'t realized that with a bit of effort, they could shatter the galaxy.
It wasn\'t that Sterl\'s "As a Creator\'s Act" lacked strength, but rather that he had invested too little Divine Power into it! The small worlds were already teetering on the edge of collapse!
Meanwhile, within the galaxy, Gloria couldn\'t help but use Moon Law to divine the situation of the players outside, confirming that the Great Divine Power wasn\'t interested in a bunch of ants, and breathing a sigh of relief.
"Good, the Primordial human genius is safe."
"Wait! Where\'s Constantine??"
The goddess\'s exquisitely beautiful face suddenly changed.
She hesitated for a second, recalling her earlier divination about Constantine\'s... encounter... what was it again?
Gloria felt a bit panicked but decided to divine Constantine\'s situation. Confirming that he was still alive, she finally exhaled in relief.
As for the Newborn Sprout of Creation...
"Centuries of planning, all for nothing."
"Could it be that my approach was ultimately flawed? Forcibly ascending to godhood, in the face of this world, I am still nothing more than an ant."
"Then... perhaps, the true hope lies with geniuses like \'David\' and \'Constantine.\'"
...
Outside, countless players were truly at their wit\'s end, some even feeling an urge to cry.
What had they witnessed? This newly emerged third deity, suspected to be of godly status, had effortlessly trapped both Gloria and Osmond. The two previous gods had no power to resist.
No way, could the Newborn Sprout of Creation be that precious? Even such terrifyingly powerful beings came to compete for it??
"Are there differences in strength even among gods? This third deity can casually seal other gods???"
"That\'s unbelievable! Even gods can be overpowered and crushed!"
...
Aside from marveling at the power of this third deity—
"I\'ve seen so many things in my life, I can die content now."
"If I said I saw gods, not just one but three at once, people in my clan would think I was insane."
"Haha! So, this is the power of gods! One day, I too will reach such heights."
...
The players\' mindsets had shifted from initial panic and resistance to eventual numbness, and finally to optimism and enjoyment.
Haha!
So what if they gained a ton of legendary points but can\'t escape? No big deal!
With three gods battling in the sky, giving them a show, what do they, second-class players, have to lose?
Setting aside the players\' mindset for now, the third new god, radiating a gentle light, slowly extended his hand, and the Newborn Sprout of Creation fell into his grasp.
Of course, it appeared slow visually, but in reality, the entire process took no more than a blink of an eye.
The Newborn Sprout of Creation, whose shield had already been broken earlier, disappeared the moment it touched the new god\'s hand, having been taken into his possession.
It seemed as though everything had settled!
However, at that very moment, two beams of intense light flashed!
Accompanied by the surging waves of countless galaxies, the two gods whom the players had thought were sealed or even killed reappeared.
The Dark Moon Goddess and the God of Heaven\'s Water made their return.
