Chapter 140: Why Does This God Seem to Be Running Away?
But it didn\'t matter. They moved quickly. Regardless of the reason, running away was the priority!
When faced with an unbeatable foe, anyone with a brain wouldn\'t want to stay nearby. Their fate would be entirely out of their control!
Osmond was the most decisive, transforming directly into a droplet of water and disappearing to an unknown location.
Gloria, slightly more conscientious, cast a teleportation spell on the players before fleeing, helping them escape!
Then, she vanished in a flash of light...
The players were ecstatic at this moment: "Thank you, Goddess!"
"We swear to serve the Dark Moon Alliance with our lives!"
...
The players were naturally unaware that Gloria intended only to teleport David away. To avoid revealing her true purpose, she sent all the players back to the main world of [Transcendence].
They were deeply grateful!
Although the Dark Moon Alliance could be quite exploitative before, this goddess had good intentions. It was just poorly executed by those below her! She seemed genuinely kind!
That must be it!
However, what followed was an exceedingly bizarre scene.
It made sense for the God of Heaven Water and the Dark Moon Goddess to flee before a formidable enemy.
But the problem was, the third new god, emitting a milky white light, also seemed to be escaping by opening a teleportation scroll??
A highly peculiar scene unfolded in this already devastated instance. The players were fleeing, and so were the gods!
What should have been an epic conclusion to a divine battle ended in a bizarre and humorous manner...
Everyone was running away, both players and gods.
In an unnoticed corner, a milky white light slipped into the group of players.
...
At the Earth\'s Fire Seed Base, number 71392.
Sterl pushed open the door, having directly teleported home.
At this moment, Sterl couldn\'t help but twitch his mouth. Creating two small worlds to trap enemies had consumed a significant amount of Divine Power. Although the entire process of Sterl ascending to godhood took no more than four or five seconds, his Divine Power was reduced to only 2.16 points.
However, some of the Divine Power loss was due to the energy he implanted into "David" before fleeing. That avatar might still need to deal with the Dark Moon Alliance\'s demigods, so it was prudent to avoid any flaws.
This wasn\'t entirely wasteful, as using Divine Power to cloak his presence consumed very little. Sterl could dissolve the avatar later and reclaim the Divine Power.
But now, Sterl has just over two points of Divine Power left, which basically means he can only ascend to godhood one more time....
As Sterl pondered this, he sneaked into the living room, using the passive ability of Shadow Stealth to lower his presence.
Then, he suddenly sprang out.
"Who!"
"Who\'s there!"
"Let go! Do you know who we are? We belong to Sterl! He knows high-ranking players at the base and is a professional himself!"
...
In an instant, Sterl successfully ambushed Linna and Rayna, who were chatting on the sofa. The two young women struggled frantically, even threatening him with their words.
But soon, even without turning around, they realized who it was.
"Sterl?? You\'re finally back from training with that senior."
Linna and Rayna\'s eyes lit up with joy as they turned their heads. The person holding them was indeed Sterl, their long-time companion who had shared countless moments with them.
"I\'m back!"
"Let\'s move to a new place after this." Sterl said with a smile. Despite the heart-pounding adventure he had just been through, facing two deity-level beings and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, seeing Linna and Rayna allowed him to finally relax.
Now that he had teleported back, he planned to move Linna and Rayna to a higher-level base where it would be safer, and resources were more abundant, helping them grow stronger faster.
As for why they wouldn\'t go directly to a Sequence Base, it wasn\'t that Sterl lacked the capability. He just wanted to be cautious and scout those bases first, ensuring everything was safe before moving his loved ones there.
While thinking, he casually joked, "By the way, who did you say you belong to?"
"Hehe, not telling you..." The blonde girl licked her lips and blinked her eyes, looking extremely seductive.
The dark-haired girl, with eyes shimmering, added, "Don\'t you already have the answer in your heart?"
"Not saying, huh?" Sterl\'s expression changed, and he immediately said "menacingly."
"Ah!! Stop!"
"No!" Linna and Rayna pretended to be "terrified." but in reality, they clung to Sterl\'s strong frame like two beautiful serpents, pressing closer and closer.
Sterl\'s physique had grown immensely stronger since their last parting. So, he simply scooped up the more audacious Linna by the waist and, with a precise control of flames, burned away her clothes.
"Wow! Wait! What are you doing!" Linna was a bit flustered, but only a bit. Her eyes gleamed with desire as she looked at Sterl.
"Ugh!!"
Sterl\'s own clothes vanished into his inventory with a mere thought.
"Wait, you\'ve gotten bigger again, hold on!"
"Don\'t! I won\'t be able to take it!" Linna\'s seductive expression quickly turned into one of concern, but Sterl gave her no chance to back out. He preemptively cast a healing starlight spell on her!
"Oh my god!!" Linna let out a short cry, her face flushed with excitement! As her lower body experienced intense fullness and tearing sensations, she felt her body being rapidly healed, bringing a tingling sensation that filled her mind with intense pleasure.
Sterl held Linna in mid-air, thrusting vigorously.
By now, Linna had successfully transitioned into a professional. Sterl had hinted to Teresa to help the two girls get decent professions, but Earth\'s human resources were indeed limited, and both Linna and Rayna ended up with C-rank professions.
Fortunately, Sterl had a theory—no matter how low their original rank, the Heart of Profession and innate talents could likely be fully maxed out through leveling.
Because this all revolves around the infinite potential for growth that players have in [Transcendence].
Sterl\'s logic was simple: eventually, when the time was right, he could max out Linna and Rayna\'s stats. So, it didn\'t matter if their current professions were of lower quality.
Back to the present moment, Sterl was thrusting vigorously. He noticed that Linna\'s new profession had its benefits. Her body had become more resilient and responsive.
While Daphne\'s and Teresa\'s bodies were stronger during their friendly duels, Linna and Rayna had been with Sterl for a long time. This added a touch of familiarity and novelty, giving Sterl a different kind of pleasure.
Lost in his thoughts, Sterl continued his fervent movements.
Slap!
Slap!
Held aloft in mid-air, Linna\'s eyes rolled back. She had no footing and was entirely at Sterl\'s mercy, being thrust upwards with each movement, feeling like she was soaring to the clouds and then crashing back down...
"Oh my God!"
"Ah!"
"Sterl, I\'m dying!"
"I\'m really dying!"
...
Soon, Linna\'s body trembled, her skin glistening with sweat, making her look even more enticing. Her eyes rolled back as she fainted in Sterl\'s arms.
Sterl gently stroked Linna\'s head, kissing her softly before laying her on the bed.
As he moved forward, he saw Rayna, who was swallowing nervously and looking terrified. Sterl pounced on her, holding her close and whispering in her ear, "Do you want to try it too?"
To Sterl\'s surprise, despite her blushing and extreme shyness, Rayna murmured, "I... I want to try..."
...
Meanwhile, Sterl was reconnecting with Linna and Rayna after a long time apart.
In a remote town on the edge of the Pompeii Empire, Sterl\'s avatar, "David." had a peculiar expression.
As he had anticipated, the avatar still had to deal with the Dark Moon Alliance, but he hadn\'t expected to face the Dark Moon Goddess herself!
At this moment, the players stood in the wilderness, and the goddess had just descended. She used her Divine Power to transform the surroundings into a strange world made up of dark purple weapons, with delicate plants growing into seats beneath the players.
The players were naturally exclaiming in awe.
Even more surprising, Sterl\'s avatar, with the Divine Power infused within him, could see faint milky white light drifting from the players\' heads into the goddess\'s body.
Due to her previous assistance, the players had grown to revere this goddess, even harboring a touch of faith. Now, witnessing Gloria\'s divine entrance, their loyalty surged rapidly.
This directly generated faith power.
However, Sterl\'s avatar remained coldly observant. If it were before he ascended to godhood, he would have thought the scene before his eyes was vast and unpredictable Divine Power.
Now he knew that the plant creation was a skill Gloria had specifically learned to enhance her aura.
The moon and shadow laws, even upon ascension to godhood, did not inherently include the ability to grow plants.
