Chapter 861: Vol V Chapter 221

Leon’s sudden demonstration of power delighted Satan. Satan had originally planned for this array as a helping tool to allow legendary peak masters to have a desirable fighting ground. The dragon did not seem too intelligent, but it was not stupid enough to be wiped out in the array. However, Leon had surprising Satan and forced the dragon to stay in the core of the array where Positive Energy flowed from all directions and depleted its energy quickly and rapidly. Satan felt that victory was sure and near and that it would happen anytime soon.

On the other hand, in the sky, Sui Xiong and Wenner’s brows furrowed at the same time as they both felt that something was amiss.

“This isn’t right! Your Archbishop’s conditions aren’t right, there’s a sort of Divine Power rising through his blood!” Wenner spoke directly through divine thought as he felt that words were too slow.

Sui Xiong had of course noticed this too, and he did not speak. Instead, he continued to glance at Leon who was continually hitting the dragon.

He knew that with Leon’s abilities, this was normally impossible.

The dragon was of the demigod level. Even if his skills were somewhere between legendary and demigod due to his injuries, he was still stronger than Leon even with Leon’s armor and fighting skills. Such a scene was simply impossible!

To be fair, there was nothing that was truly impossible; most things normally had a good explanation for them even if they seemed to be ludicrous at first, for example, this seemingly impossible case of Leon’s power suddenly increasing exponentially.

Now, this increase was becoming unnatural and shocking to watch.

If he was just stepping from the legendary peak to the Demigod Realm, there shouldn’t be such a huge increase in power!

As Sui Xiong observed Leon, his soul’s tactile sensations had fully developed and were ready to attack anytime.

Normally, when one moved from the legendary peak to the demigod level, one’s powers would not increase in the short term but rather decrease. This was because when one’s soul underwent an upgrade, it needed lots of energy to stabilize its divinity. This process of stabilization used a huge amount of energy and even stored energy may not be enough. It was only after a period of time that one’s power would reinstate and increase to exceed the level it was at for the legendary peak, truly entering the Demigod Realm.

For this case where Leon’s power surged, it was definitely abnormal. There was only one circumstance in which this would happen, which was when one’s divinity was already stable enough and did not require extra energy from the body. Under what circumstance could this possibly be so? Well, only when one had already entered the God Realm for many years, which would have meant that one’s soul had stabilized long ago.

Sui Xiong’s eyes narrowed, and murderous thoughts began to rise in his head. He could clearly sense a second presence hiding within Leon’s soul, which was slowly surfacing.

“This must be the God of Eagle… what a ‘dog egg’!” Sui Xiong yelled, murderously. “This Wuther always does things half-heartedly, I should have extinguished him from the start so he wouldn’t have a chance to resurrect!”

Wenner smiled and did not say a word.

Previously, during the battle when the God of Light had bombed and killed the God of Eagle, Wuther had been an onlooker. At that time, the God of Eagle had depended on the legends of the Eagle Kingdom’ Association troops as well as the Orc Empire to attain great Divine Power. The God of Eagle had been extremely confident and challenged the God of Light, wanting to fight for the title of the next Master God of the Human God System.

The God of Light had originally refused to accept this challenge as he felt that it was rare for someone new to reach great Divine Power, and that this should be welcomed. If the God of Eagle really wanted to be the system’s Master God, he could first try other administrative or leadership roles. After 200 to 300 more years, the gods of the Human God System would then discuss this matter again. This was a very reasonable explanation of the situation, but the God of Eagle was disagreeable. In the end, out of rage, God of Light took up the challenge and battled hard with God of Eagle.

Strictly speaking, one would not even call it a battle. While the God of Eagle was not weak, the God of Light was still definitely stronger. After a short period of time, the God of Eagle was hit hard on the brain by the God of Light and was defeated on the spot.

This was an extremely hard hit! While the God of Eagle had newly acquired great Divine Powers and was riding on the legacy of other powerful individuals, with such a hit, he was completely defeated. The God of Eagle had fallen down and could not regain his composure, let alone crawl back up. Indeed, it was instant death.

Wenner had been secretly shocked. It went without saying that he would be able to defeat the God of Eagle as well, but as to whether he would be able to kill God of Eagle was another matter entirely. Furthermore, the God of Light had killed him with a single strike! That was another level entirely!

It was undeniable that the God of Light was stronger than Wenner, and there was a great difference in strength at that.

However, the God of Eagle did not die so easily. Before he passed on, he had made plans to preserve his existence in his blood. When he was still a human, he had also left several children and grandchildren in the Human Realm. His body was carried down by generations who continued to procreate and had created a huge system on its own, which was scattered everywhere in the world, especially in the Eagle Kingdom. Amongst the royalty of the Eagle Kingdom were all his direct kin.

At that time, he had professed that he would fight with the God of Light again someday in order to once again challenge him for the title of the next Master God of the Human God System.

From then till now, a few thousand years had already passed. The countries that had existed in the past had all fallen other than the Eagle Kingdom. The God of Eagle’s younger generations continued to rule the Eagle Kingdom, yet no one was developed or strong enough to allow the God of Eagle to resurrect. His faith was also slowly diluting within the kingdom due to the God of Eagle’s lack of presence, and the national religion was eventually replaced by the God of Knight’s faith.

Wenner had always assumed that the God of Eagle would never have the chance to resurrect. However, it was clear now that that assumption was false.

In Leon’s soul, one could clearly see the God of Eagle’s shadow. It was clear that he wanted to fulfill the promise he had made before and was going swallow Leon and resurrect.

The problem was that he had chosen the wrong target.

Wenner shook his head and sighed for the unlucky God of Eagle.

Of all people, he had to choose the Church of Void Mask’s Archbishop! Did he not know that the protection of the Void Mask was unbeatable? The God of Eagle wanted to swallow Leon? He faced a higher chance of being beaten to death!

On the other hand, one couldn’t really blame the God of Eagle. After all, he had disappeared for a few thousand years and wouldn’t know any better…

Suddenly, Wenner’s heart lurched, and he asked meaningfully, “If the God of Eagle wants to resurrect, he needs a large amount of faith. Does this mean Eagle Kingdom has converted back to his faith?”

Sui Xiong was then stunned as well. He then used the clone he had left behind in Void Mask City to create yet another clone to visit the Eagle Kingdom’s capital city, Eagle Wing City, through the transmission formation.

As accurately predicted by Wenner, in Eagle Wing City, he saw the God of Eagle’s priests preaching on the street about his powers and bravery, as well as announcing his return.

Sui Xiong thus smiled in a rather warm way, seeing as the God of Eagle’s return was rather harmless albeit slightly shady.
