Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 479 - 453: Strange

The long-awaited rainstorm finally poured down.

Raindrops the size of beans hit the ground with a crackling sound under triple gravity.

The downpour grew heavier.

Chen Shouyi wrapped a piece of rag around his waist and, with the pitiful Shell Lady in tow, braved the pouring rain and returned to the battlefield once again.

Upon seeing the devastated Divine Corpse, he belatedly realized that he had truly killed a demigod relying solely on his own strength.

Not a severely injured demigod,

nor was it luck.

But with his own strength, he killed it head-on.

"Hehe!" Chen Shouyi wiped the rain from his face and let out a smug laugh.

Yet he found himself not as excited as he imagined; his heart was quite calm, merely feeling relieved. All his vigor, all his excitement had been completely vented during the battle.

This demigod was absolutely a terrifying opponent. The outcome of the fight was a toss-up, with the opponent even having a slightly higher chance of winning.

Lightning-fast speed, incredibly agile form.

Whether on the ground or in the air, there was no sense of pause or sluggishness.

In the past, Chen Shouyi’s battles took place on a two-dimensional plane. Even when facing demigods on Earth, due to their weak flight capabilities, they wouldn’t easily take to the air.

Because once an opponent leaves the ground, their trajectory can be predicted in advance, their movements inevitably stiffen. As long as one reacts quickly enough, even with slower actions, they can respond promptly.

But this time his opponent’s fighting style was three-dimensional, even more agile in the air.

Movements were unpredictable, impossible to judge.

The danger level rose dramatically.

If not for his tough skin and strong defense, feigning weakness until finally grasping the opportunity to choke the opponent to death, it would be uncertain who would live, who would die, who would win or lose in this battle.

"Agility is still lacking; Giant Transformation is good, and the attack is fierce enough, but the body is simply too sluggish. Against lower-tier opponents, it naturally crushes, but against an opponent like a demigod, it’s somewhat insufficient," he pondered inwardly.

During the Giant Transformation, his strength could reach an astounding 37.2 points, while his agility dropped to only 16 points, less than half.

Shell Lady stood on Chen Shouyi’s shoulder, drenched like a soaking wet rat, her small hands tightly gripping his ears as she shivered while watching the Giant Beast still struggling in the distance:

"Great Giant, let’s leave quickly!"

Though the Giant Beast’s body was mostly broken, its head smashed, it hadn’t completely died, its limbs unconsciously clawing, digging a big pit in the ground.

"Don’t be afraid, it’s already dead!" Chen Shouyi assured, coming back to himself.

Shell Lady nodded vigorously: "Little One is not afraid at all!"

"Such a brave Little One," Chen Shouyi complimented, then moved forward, grabbing its slippery tail covered with scales with all his might, and pulled hard.

Only to find he couldn’t move it at all.

Embarrassment flickered across his face.

In his Giant Transformation, this demigod seemed tiny as a teddy, its bones snapping easily under his grip.

In truth, its size was comparable to Earth’s largest land creature, adult African elephants, a standard behemoth, with a mass heavier than an elephant, possibly ten tons.

This was still the mass.

In this other world with triple gravity, if measured in tons, it would be thirty tons.

With his normal wrestling strength of 2.8 tons, he barely imagined budging it.

Chen Shouyi, feeling compelled, sensed his strength could still sustain him, proceeded to transform again.

This time the transformation wasn’t as tall, only over six meters. He hoisted the Divine Corpse onto his shoulder and briskly made his way to the mountain cave.

Golden blood flowed from the Giant Beast’s shattered head, swiftly washed away by the rain.

Yet Chen Shouyi felt no heartache,

with so much demigod flesh left to feast on, who knows how long it might last?

...

A dozen seconds later, Chen Shouyi reached the cave entrance.

With a "boom", he threw the corpse on the ground.

He then returned to his regular form and entered the cave.

The Shell Lady, who had trailed from afar, too scared to approach, hesitated under the rain for quite some time before stealthily avoiding the corpse and, like an arrow, quickly landed on Chen Shouyi’s shoulder. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

To her, facing a demigod, even just its corpse, was too thrilling.

Once they caught their breath, Chen Shouyi looked at the drenched Shell Lady and asked with concern: "Are you cold?"

It was early spring in this other world, the chill of spring evident. After soaking in the rain, it was indeed a bit cold.

"Not cold, but painful!" Shell Lady pointed at her scraped spot, showing it to Chen Shouyi, her little face pitiful.

"I’ll blow on it for you, it won’t hurt soon." Chen Shouyi comforted.

"Will blowing help?" The Shell Lady asked earnestly.

"Uh!" Chen Shouyi was taken aback, wasn’t this how others coax small children?

"It will heal faster," he said.

"Then you’d better blow gently; otherwise Little One will be blown away," Shell Lady replied.

She then floated to Chen Shouyi’s front, asking him to blow.

Chen Shouyi blew gently a few times and then asked, "Feeling any better?"

Seeing Shell Lady pinch her nose disdainfully, she said, "Didn’t feel better at all, and your breath smells!"

Chen Shouyi’s face darkened, really quite unlovable.

...

There is still some dry firewood collected inside the cave.

He lit a bonfire at the cave entrance.

The pitch-black cave finally brightened.

Chen Shouyi checked the attribute panel.

It surprised him to find that his willpower unexpectedly increased by 0.1 points, reaching 17.1.

Moreover, the Faith Value had dropped to 13.5 points, consuming about forty points.

"But... from now on, I probably won’t lack Faith Value anymore!"

Chen Shouyi finally felt a bit excited:

"This demigod likely had quite a few followers! Now they’re all mine."

As a demigod, without ample faith support, how could one achieve demigod status?

"But there’s no rush; best to rest overnight and speak again tomorrow."

Once his strength was restored, he grabbed his sword and braved the rain to walk out of the cave entrance.

Such fresh and lively demigod flesh, if missed today, tomorrow it might no longer be as fresh.

Only from up close can one feel the strong visual impact of this demigod-level creature.

Its entire body covered in golden scales, each glowing and shimmering in the darkness, with two remaining fiery red, massive curved horns, whose radiance flowed like rubies.

Although lying in murky water, its body was spotless, radiating a sensation of divine dignity, inspiring awe.

Though to Chen Shouyi, merely a corpse it was.

"But those horns are too beautiful, I should take them back home as a collection!" Thought crossed Chen Shouyi’s mind.

He went forward, forcefully tore off some semi-crystalline fractured bones from its skull, then faced the rotten flesh in the wounds, took his sword and fiercely chopped away, chopping for quite a few hits before managing to slice off a sizable piece of flesh.

After washing it in the rain, he carried the meat back to the cave.

At this moment, suddenly his body swayed, and his mind was filled with dizziness.

He quickly supported himself against the wall, feeling confused, his awareness somewhat hazy, and he looked slightly solemn: "Why this time so intense?"
