Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 779 - 670: Winning Chess Move in One Move

The sky was still filled with swirling black snow composed of deadly colonies.

Seeing the newcomer, a touch of solemnity finally appeared on Lady Crow Ye He’er’s face. Her exquisite high heels seemed to step on an invisible staircase as she slowly descended from the sky to the ground.

Tap... Tap... Tap...

Separated by a hundred meters, she met Aiven’s gaze squarely.

Although she still maintained her usual charming appearance of a noble lady, a slight cold glint flickered in her narrow eyes.

Even though the Black Iron Cross Badge atop Aiven’s head from the Church’s Divine Shelter, as well as the Death mark of a Tier 4 Extraordinary that could be clearly sensed, all served as a tremendous deterrent to any opponent.

But both Lady Crow and Aiven knew full well that this battle was inevitable.

Since the last time they reached the "divide and rule" agreement, both knew the other was still restrained, but at their current level, every action involved wide implications.

Just like this time, an internal war initiated by a group of Atrean people to seize living territory ended up entangling both of them due to a complex web of relationships.

In the end, the territories of the two were too close, and the pond of the New Continent was too small. Even with a peace agreement, conflicts could not be permanently avoided.

And the best way to resolve a conflict of interest is to—fight it out!

Whoever has the bigger fist is in the right.

As the atmosphere between the two gradually solidified.

Swish... Swish...

Back when the fur trade station was established, a group of small chieftains who had business dealings had met Aiven, and previously only knew he was strong but not to what extent.

But seeing that even an Upper Totem God was as if facing a formidable enemy, naturally, they gained confidence and immediately hastened to retreat towards the shore away from the battlefield.

Shwoop! Shwoop!

And between the two leading the course of the war, there was no need for words. With a burst of fighting spirit deep in their eyes, they simultaneously transformed into flowing lights rushing into the sky.

The first barrier Aiven faced was the black snow in the sky which had become Ye He’er’s home ground.

However, this fierce High-Rank Totem God living next door had always been Aiven’s imaginary enemy, and how could he not have any preparation?

Lady Crow’s core authority is Plague, but she actually controls the three domains of Unclean, Plague, and Death.

Among them, Unclean and Plague are no different to Aiven, as their origins lie in various pathogens. It’s just that they can cause terrifying virulent diseases, which are far more potent than ordinary pathogens.

And in this world, who understands pathogens better than one who has integrated knowledge from both the Vesalian School and the Poison Plague School, and greatly extended them using their own theories from the Vitalist School?

clea——

The platinum True Name mark on Aiven’s forehead flickered, quietly initiating the True Name Liberation, with witchcraft waves suddenly spreading from his fingertips.

It was as if the entire sky of black snow was struck by an invisible force at once, and they all became deactivated, turning into harmless, gray-black dust.

Witchcraft: Cleaning

Originally used for large-scale sterilization in laboratories, this everyday witchcraft was the perfect tool for neutralizing such a complex bacterial colony.

In a battle between a group of crude Totem Gods, their eyes only see their own domain and rarely probe into the inner principles. Even the most adept at accepting foreign things, Lady Crow, is only slightly better than her peers.

Even in combat, it’s just a matter of clashing head-on without deeper understanding, and less than ten percent of their full power is used effectively. If their authority is countered, it’s possible to use weakness against strength.

But for Aiven, a well-prepared Upper-Rank Wizard, it’s your authority against my witchcraft.

Furthermore.

Exercising any authority requires media influenced by one’s authority; it’s impossible to affect unrelated things. For a wizard, having a medium means being able to counter it!

After reaching high altitudes, Lady Crow seemed to flirtatiously send Aiven a flying kiss, but in reality, she was silently spreading a powerful bacterium.

"Muah, high fever!"

To ordinary people, micron-sized bacteria only rapidly reproduce upon entering the body under the stimulation of authority, making it initially impossible to detect.

With Data Visualization, Aiven, possessing extreme control over his body, immediately sensed changes within, particularly an abnormal feeling near his lymph glands spreading rapidly.

Without relying on his great control over his body to attempt forceful removal, Aiven easily identified it as "bubonic plague," which would cause severe headaches, massive subcutaneous bleeding, extreme agitation, and high fever.

Most importantly, its death was dreadful because it’s also known as the Black Death.

Aiven wasn’t fazed and smiled slightly:

"The deities truly lack creativity!"

For the Vitalist School specializing in human functions, the body itself is a powerful biochemical factory. Without needing external medication, powerful immune and phagocytic cells wiped out the plague bacteria instantly upon entering.

Ye He’er’s face slightly changed; such an astonishing scenario was something she had never encountered before. The terrifying plague had been "cured" in an instant? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Frozen Bone!"

The second attack was still unremarkable, the so-called "Frozen Bone" was just a manifestation, but in essence it was "Malaria," with symptoms of chills, fear of cold, profuse sweating, and difficulty breathing, which Aiven easily resolved again.

The third wave of attack followed closely.

[Authority: Pathogen Outbreak!]

Directly controlling the rapid reproduction of symbiotic microorganisms within the opponent’s body to disrupt microbial balance, causing a series of complications. Although its power doesn’t match a highly lethal plague, the attack originates from within the body, making it extremely vicious.

However, the result was still like a stone sinking into the sea.

After a combination of attacks, Aiven showed no signs of anomaly at all. Thanks to his deep research into pathogens, no bacteria can survive in his body if he wills it.

"How is this possible???"

Upon discovering that her core [Plague] authority was completely countered by this powerful Wizard, Ye He’er, her complexion suddenly changed, was about to unleash the more aggressive [Death] authority.

Yet Aiven had gradually figured out her details, laughing out loud:

"Haha, my lady, now it’s my turn!"

Spreading his fingers, he delivered an invisible attack to her.

Buzz—

[Activation: Divine Power: Microwave Magnetic Field]

While analyzing his own abilities and creating the [Light Spirit Circuit], Aiven’s thoughts have been greatly expanded.

Although the mitochondria in his body are not to be casually modified, the resulting [Life Magnetic Field] and Extraordinary Ability [Divine Power] are extremely malleable.

[Microwave Magnetic Field] is just one of the simplest applications.

The 2450MHz microwave electromagnetic field alternates at an astonishing rate of 24.5 billion times per second, within which water molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, fats, and more, absorbing the microwave energy, would also move with the changing electromagnetic field at the same speed with an electric field polarity movement.

Thereby causing molecular movement and rotation, resulting in frequent collisions between molecules and generating a large amount of frictional heat, known as microwave heating.

And Ye He’er’s body, which fits her own authority, though incredibly beautiful, every finest hair was composed of living bacteria!

For this extremely unfamiliar electromagnetic force, not within her understanding range at all, she didn’t even notice Aiven’s attack at first, but within just a few seconds, her body trembled violently.

Bang!

Then Divine Power erupted to its limit, enveloping her body completely within a flickering all-encompassing light barrier. Even so, inside Ye He’er, each bacterium individual was simultaneously heated, causing wisps of white smoke to rise from her body.

Though it seemed long, it was less than even two minutes from start to finish, the "Lady Crow" had already completely fallen into a disadvantage during the encounter and lost ineffectually.

Clearly, not intending to further escalate combat intensity to a life-and-death struggle, Ye He’er calmed all her emotions and took a deep look at Aiven: "Well then, Mr. Galliot, future disputes will be handled by our own abilities!"

Whizz—

Transformed into flowing light, she vanished into thin air in an instant.

Only a few breaths’ time, she had completely recovered to her original state.

"No wonder she is a High-Rank Totem God just below Demigod level! Even if restrained against her, that’s all there is to it."

Watching her retreating figure, Aiven silently released his grip on the hilt of the [Libra Balance Holy Sword].

Neither side had the certainty to eliminate the opponent before using their trump cards, so this delicate neighborly relationship must be maintained for now.

Having reached the limit of Tier 3 [Branded Swordsman], with slow progress in becoming an Upper-Rank Wizard, Aiven is prepared to slowly explore the path of advancement in the physical-side profession next.

Once the thought process has opened up, the Extraordinary Ability [Divine Power] based on [Life Magnetic Field] promises great potential.

If he can expand to the atomic level in the microcosm, at this scale, molecular bonds and atomic bonds are merely a kind of electrostatic attraction. If he can control this ability, he can freely alter matter, achieving the most magical alchemy.

Above this, as one of the universe’s four fundamental forces, "Electromagnetic Force" can accomplish things no weaker than a God’s [Authority].

Step!

Retracting his thoughts, Aiven gently landed from the clouds.

By now, the "Fierce Tiger Spirit" Uwakala was long gone.

And after a night of fierce combat, relying on the terrifying destructive power of the Extraordinary, most male members of the Iroquois had perished, and this once-mighty tribe was essentially extinct.

The strength of the "Fierce Tiger Spirit" is undoubtedly greatly weakened with it.

The allied forces have achieved a great victory.

But.

Turning around, Aiven looked at the "Spirit of the Giant Bear," whose body was clearly severely damaged, lurking on the side:

"Lord Gleam, Chief Hakaruto, perhaps we should have a proper discussion about the issue of spoils’ ownership."
