Chapter 436: 0436: Post-War (Extra 1800, asking for monthly pass)
Su Lu’s figure appeared directly in the living room.
Next to him, the shadow clone who had rescued Celsus and Arsen had come back early and was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
The two Su Lus exchanged glances, the shadow clone smiled slightly, passed over a few marvellous items, and slowly disappeared.
Beryl, who was mopping the floor on the side, looked at this scene. She did not feel surprised at all and continued with her work.
“This mission, although successfully killing several fifth-levels of the Chris Empire, in the end, Rick still escaped. He probably took some of Shewinado’s treasures and even mysterious knowledge, so it can’t be considered successful…”
“If we add Shewinado’s resurrection, it was a total loss.”
Su Lu was browsing the memories shared by the shadow clone. After he saved Arsen, the stern-faced warden said goodbye to them and told them to pass the word to Dunstan to be prepared.
The incarnated deity was a wave of turbulence for the Federation.
The warden was likely returning to mobilize all the resources of the Federation and prepare.
Though it was unlikely the Federation had a guardian deity, they certainly had people from professions at the sixth level. Besides, they possessed a few marvellous items that could be considered relics of the country.
The resources of the Chris Empire were only more abundant than those of the Federation.
“The era of a deity descending and walking on earth, huh?”
Su Lu murmured to himself, feeling a little excited and curious.
Such a mythological era was indeed appealing.
He cleaned himself up and returned to his bedroom to take an inventory of this mission’s gains.
Even though they had lost a demigod artifact this time, the divine knowledge they had gained in return was enough to meet Su Lu’s needs.
“A big chunk of the barrier to the seventh level has been removed. What I should plan for now is to advance to the sixth level… Only a body of a sixth-level legend can fully digest the mysterious knowledge contained in the golden crystal.”
Su Lu muttered to himself, producing a brand-new seal card in his hand.
Its front depicted a twilight scene, with a figure in a yellow robe in the center. The robe was embroidered with patterns like tentacles, giving a dizzying sensation at a glance.
This was a terrible spirit sealed from Tops’ body, already almost at the level of sixth.
“The ability obtained after being sealed is now clear… The greatest ability of this sealing card is—delay!”
Su Lu’s slightly closed eyes widened, full of surprise.
A spiritual body, after becoming a fourth-level evil spirit, begins to master various incredible abilities. This almost sixth-level Yellow Robe Spirit was no exception.
Its ability was quite special, it could only act on the performer, and could delay all damage for a period extending up to tens of years!
“This ability…is quite terrifying, involving time?”
Su Lu rubbed the surface of the card, very excited: “Indeed… This spirit has this kind of ability, which is why Tops could not die! But it also has its offsides… Damage is not erased, it is only ‘postponed’, and it will eventually erupt. The more accumulated, the worse the end, and Tops is the best example.”
“Of course, its value is unquestionable, almost equivalent to a ‘life-saving’ blessing…”
While the damage taken on the battlefield is fatal, it doesn’t mean there is no way to rescue it.
For instance, facing a fatal curse, you can forcibly use the Yellow Robe Spirit card to postpone the curse’s onset until a cure is found, and then let it occur, escaping from the situation of certain death.
“It must be used cautiously, and too much damage must not be accumulated, or else it will really be too late to return, it will certainly be fatal…”
Su Lu sensed the seal card again, “The use of this ability has a certain interval of time, and only one injury can be ‘put off’ at a time… This is natural, otherwise wouldn’t it become invincible?”
“At the same time, if there is a spiritual body possessing the same ability, this skill can also be restrained or deciphered, so we must not take it lightly.”
…
Knock knock!
Just as Su Lu was preparing to rest, a knock on the door sounded.
“It’s Lord Dunstan.”
Outside the door, Beryl’s voice came in, “He said he apologized for the intrusion, but please hurry to the conference room.”
“Alright…”
Su Lu rubbed his forehead, understanding that with such a big event happening, it would be unrealistic for Green Tree Castle to have no reaction.
He changed into formal attire and arrived at the Green Tree Council with Dunstan.
At this time, all nine councilors had arrived, making it ten in total including him.
Dunstan unhesitatingly took the chairman’s seat, and Su Lu’s seat was arranged fourth.
On his right was [Erosion Mage] Irin, the third legendary occupational person of Green Tree Castle. He gave Su Lu a friendly smile.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, please watch this clip.”
After everyone had arrived, Dunstan didn’t say much but directly played a video.
It seemed to be a spirit world scene captured from the sky. It was slightly fuzzy, but it was indeed Nia City in the Dream Spirit World.
It was observable that a storm mixed with dream and light was utterly destroying this city.
Not far away, a three-masted ship was sailing in the spirit world. A few figures stood at the bow of the ship, staring grimly in the direction of Nia City.
“That ship is one of Federation’s trump cards, the Spirit World Ship! On board are the Federation’s original pride, six-level guardians.”
Dunstan explained to everyone, unprecedentedly causing an uproar.
Even Irin frowned, clearly unaware that the Federation had so many trump cards.
“According to the emergency dispatched guardians, Nia city has been completely destroyed… and the resurrected Wild God surprisingly broke through the Goddess of Light’s deity descent, this is an incredible thing.”
“Currently, although this Wild God cannot be located, it has not left our world.”
Dunstan coughed and continued: “Therefore… I declare an emergency in the Inner Circle and activate Plan Number Three!”
A deity that exists in the world!
Its influence is enough to overturn a powerful country.
Su Lu could imagine that not just the White Eagle Federation, but also probably eighty percent of the Chris Empire’s emperor, no one expected this.
But it was not his business since he did not possess any actual power. As an honorary council, he just needed to sit and listen.
After the meeting ended, Dunstan specifically left the three legendary persons behind.
“Su Lu, Celsus… Although this mission cannot be considered a success, Arsen gave high evaluations to you, especially you, Su Lu…”
Dunstan smiled, “In addition to the reserved rewards, he also nominated you, Su Lu, to undertake an important position in the Federation.”
“Oh?” Instead of being surprised, Su Lu frowned, feeling a bit unhappy: “What position is it?”
Dunstan’s smile deepened: “White Eagle Guardian! Although it’s just on reserve…”
