Chapter 1772 Divinity, Voluntarily Given Away!
"Cough cough... I never thought that I would be lying in your arms, silly girl, instead of my sweet Lu Li, before I die... It's a bit of a shame..."
Matilda coughed up a small amount of blood, her voice barely audible.
Xu Xiao held back her tears and replied, her voice choked with emotion:
"I'm trying to save you... but for some reason, the power of authority isn't working..."
“Hmph… silly girl…” Matilda laughed weakly, her crescent-shaped eyes filled with smug amusement:
"I never thought that someone as 'blessed by heaven' as you would have moments of not understanding things..."
"Have you forgotten what the situation is now?"
"The battle for godhood has begun... Of the three of us chosen ones who share the same divine status, one is destined to die..."
"Moreover, cough cough... that treacherous Black Whale incorporated a large amount of authority power into both attacks..."
"Your 'forgiveness' can restore everything, but that's only under the premise that no other authoritative forces intervene..."
"Once other powers exist, your authority of 'tolerance' will be prioritized to contend with and be depleted by that other power."
"So it's not that you can't heal my injuries, but that before you can heal me, you need to expend some of your power to counteract the effects left by the Black Whale Authority within my body."
"So that's how it is... So, can I just increase my output?" Xu Xiao's eyes lit up as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.
“…Cough cough, what the hell are you doing, you idiot…” Matilda muttered weakly, rolling her eyes.
"The authority of the black whale's 'sacrifice' can create miracles."
Have you ever seen a miracle being overturned?
"I'll give it a try!" Xu Xiao replied quickly without hesitation.
With a thought in mind, he was truly preparing to increase the output of his authority.
"Try it my foot!" Matilda, seemingly out of nowhere, raised her right hand with difficulty and hooked it around Xu Xiao's collar.
Pulling it down, trying to stop it, while saying with exasperation:
Why are you still so stubborn?
"Can you please stop thinking about others all the time?!"
"Can't you ever think about yourself for once?!"
"I..." Xu Xiao's eyes were blank, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
Matilda's injuries were aggravated by the intense movements, and she coughed violently again.
Blood and bits of flesh gushed from the corners of her mouth, and she looked to be in very bad shape.
"Stop talking, calm your breathing first. Once I've healed you, you can scold me however you want..." Xu Xiao said urgently, preparing to activate the power of authority again.
But Matilda tightened her grip, pulling on her collar, and stopped her again:
"Silly girl...please, have some mercy...just listen to me this once..."
"Don't save me."
“But…” Xu Xiao wanted to argue, but Matilda glared at him and shut him up.
She continued with difficulty:
"...Didn't you want to save people?"
“Strength is only enough for a chosen one, it’s far from enough…”
"Become a god! Once you become a god and fully wield the power of 'forgiveness,' you will be able to save even more people!"
"Ahem... Even if this is not from my heart, please... ascend the throne..."
Xu Xiao stared in astonishment at the woman in his arms, her pupils unfocused, and felt the hand gripping her collar fall limply to her side.
Matilda's last words still echoed in his ears when a mechanical notification suddenly sounded in his mind—
[Player Matilda has voluntarily offered her divine essence. Absorb immediately?]
Xu Xiao's pupils dilated slightly.
She didn't have time to react, let alone think.
In his almost blank mind, only Matilda's last request lingered.
'To become a god, to fully wield the power of forgiveness, and to save more people.'
Even if this is not from your heart, please ascend the throne.
"Yes," Xu Xiao answered instinctively.
The moment the thought formed and the sound left the mouth,
The thorn dragon that completely enveloped her and Matilda was suddenly torn open!
The black whale, its face contorted in rage, roared furiously and unleashed a flurry of sword strikes, attacking fiercely!
Despite its fierce swordplay, it had long lost its initial elegance and precision.
Furthermore, there was no accurate calculation of which sword move carried the power of authority.
He was completely out of his element, and his fighting style was utterly chaotic.
Unfortunately, Xu Xiao was caught off guard and also had to consider Matilda in his arms.
Ultimately, he was still unfortunately hit by two sword beams.
His arms gave way and he couldn't hold on, throwing Matilda away.
In the chaos, Xu Xiao tried to control the thorny dragon to support it.
However, several shadow clones shrouded in black mist followed closely from her blind spot, directly using their authority to shred her thorny dragon into dust!
The pressure of the battlefield returned, leaving Xu Xiao feeling a little breathless for a moment.
However, the oppressive feeling of being stuck in the mud soon disappeared.
The exhilarating fusion of divine power and the call of another authority forcefully drew the woman's chaotic attention!
A strange will, not belonging to her, is awakening and subtly influencing her behavior.
at the same time,
On the other side of the earth,
Lin Family Plantation No. 711.
Countless Palu people, wielding farming tools and led by the guards, were struggling against the Soul Soldiers. Sensing something, they all looked towards the spot in the center of the park where the flesh and blood statue stood.
A holy light began to emerge from the surface of the statue, which was enveloped in the swirling smoke of the Yuanjing tribute incense.
It's as if it has completely come back to life!
Expressions of surprise or excitement appeared on their faces, indicating that change was taking place.
A frenzied atmosphere spread instantly, infecting everyone in large numbers!
"Sister Xiao has become a goddess?"
"Lord Xu Xiao has won the battle to become a god!"
"It's safe, it's safe this time!"
"Eternal night is nothing, hahaha, we have gods backing us up!!"
"Huh? Those soul soldiers seem weaker?"
"Kill! Kill them all, and the dawn of victory is just around the corner!"
The battle cries rose and fell, inspiring everyone.
Although the news of Xu Xiao's ascension to godhood did not provide any boost to their combat power as believers.
However, high morale can also bring a significant advantage in battle!
The same situation occurred where other flesh-and-blood statues stood.
The Earth forces, which were previously evenly matched with the Soul Soldiers and were even slightly at a disadvantage, are now showing signs of overwhelming the enemy!
however,
Compared to the frequent victories on these lower-level battlefields, the situation on the training grounds was less clear.
When Xu Xiao merged with Matilda's divine essence, the first thing he noticed was Eternal Night.
He never expected that Xu Xiao, the 'true saint' in Lu Li's memory who never had the heart to hurt others, would actually kill her own teammates in the Thorn Dragon!
So the moment he sensed something was wrong, he gave Li Luo the order to stop the other party.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
