Chapter 501: Chapter 82: Changing the Script, Changing the Lead! Duncan Takes the Stage_3

"The God of Strength also possesses the Storm Domain."

"Hegel’s voyage to the Storm Islands likely signifies his desire to gain the Divine Position of the storm."

Duncan set up a Shen Kan on the deck and began offering sacrifices to the Lady of Fury. At some point, the rumbling of thunder echoed, dark clouds boiled in the sky, and a faint whirlpool emerged in the distant sea, yet it did not hinder the ship’s progress at all.

This was nothing short of a miracle!

Beside Duncan, Crete exclaimed in surprise, "The Lady of Fury is watching over us!"

"She’s blessing us!"

Initially, the Lady of Fury was merely a background character, but now she was the central Divine Spirit. Since the Barbarians intended to conquer the seas, it was naturally her time to step onto the stage. It was like a Greek legend where initially Zeus was the backdrop, but now it was replaced by the Sea God Poseidon.

Blessings of Underwater Breathing illuminated the air.

Hegel seemed to sense something and gazed toward the direction of the swirling tides. For some reason, amidst his despondency, it felt as though he had unlocked some kind of shackle.

He turned to look at Duncan, who stood on the deck, gazing at the sea. The lightning flashing across the sky illuminated his heroic profile.

Perhaps he was better suited to become the mythical hero of legend?

Hegel’s dejection lasted only a moment before his fighting spirit revived. He was not easily defeated. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Our daily training will also change."

"Simultaneously offering sacrifices to the God of Strength and the Lady of Fury."

Duncan’s words puzzled the Barbarians, for there was no precedent for this. While there were rituals dedicated to the Furious Gods, the rituals for the God of Strength and the Lady of Fury were not compatible.

Tutu Port.

Soon, the Barbarians understood Duncan’s intention.

Because in the port’s crashing waves, Duncan began placing stone pillars on their shoulders. With Duncan and Hegel leading, the Barbarians, facing the sea waves, commenced their daily foundational training, including weighted squats, lifting, and sprinting. Duncan even instructed them to swing the stone pillars against the waves continuously.

At that moment, some of the Barbarians couldn’t keep up.

Ultimately, only Duncan and Hegel managed to swing the stone pillars against the sea waves, while everyone else switched to heavy wooden logs.

"Use the power of the sea to hone our bodies."

"Simultaneously offering sacrifices to the God of Strength and the Lady of Fury."

Subtle changes were happening unnoticed, as if Duncan had invisibly altered everything, even though it was not obvious, but a precedent had already been set.

The training rites remained daily affairs.

But unlike before, not only did the God of Strength’s Shen Kan emit Spiritual Light, but even the Lady of Fury’s Shen Kan also glowed faintly, as if the Lady herself was observing and admiring Hegel and his companions’ competitive training. She was pleased with the Barbarians’ battle against the sea waves and would even stir up larger waves to crash against the nearby reefs, toppling those Barbarians who lacked stable footing.

This torment of the Barbarians seemed to amuse the Lady of Fury.

This ramped up the intensity right away!

Unlike previous training, the difficulty level had now risen sharply. Only Duncan and Hegel were able to keep up, while the other Barbarians struggled.

However, amidst the collision with the sea, these Barbarians seemed to become more agile.

"Quinn is truly a devil."

"To think of such a training method."

Crete lay on the beach, panting, just a few days of training had left him sunburned and peeling, but the clashes with nature also forced him to tap into his potential. Barbarians start their daily Warrior training from the age of six, continuing until adulthood, completing wilderness trials and then leaving the Northern Land for adventures; their foundation was incredibly solid.

As long as their combat experience keeps up, the Barbarians’ strength will continue to break through.

After training in the past, they even had the energy to find women.

Now, hehe.

They all turned into weaklings.

Not just them, even Duncan had abstained from indulgence in pleasures.

Hegel had already restored his four-star golden Mark, becoming quieter and more composed than before.

His growth, even the gods could witness.

"We are almost ready for actual combat!"

True Barbarians still rely on wielding weapons, experiencing the essence of battle through the blood and fire of slaughter, and understanding the Power of Fury.

However, as Duncan prepared to make a move, a merchant ship arrived at Tutu Port.

Usually.

Merchant ships rarely venture here; even though Tutu Port is an important transit point, few merchants willingly approach. Yet not only did they arrive, they brought a whole shipload of wine, which in the past would have been directly seized by pirates.

——The Goddess of Fertility, Sexuality, and Cats—Misha (Weak Divine Power) (Projection Avatar) (Four-Star Golden).

A figure draped in a black robe, veiled, concealed aboard the merchant ship.

Unlike the previous meeting, this time she was embodied on a young woman, who held a black cat in her arms. As soon as she disembarked, her gaze locked onto Duncan.

The seductive and enticing Priestess parted her red lips slightly, her voice resonating directly into Duncan’s mind.

"The Goddess Suliss sends her greetings to you."

Suliss?

One of Athena’s aspects?

Duncan’s expression shifted slightly, signaling Hegel to continue leading the Barbarians in training while he secretly arranged a meeting with the other party in Tutu Port.

Athena’s aspect had already sought him out.

Now the most crucial piece had been completed, Duncan possessed the confidence to confront other Divine Spirits directly.

Though he was unsure of Athena’s current state.

After all, the avatars of Divine Spirits are also influenced by the real world. For instance, before Duncan’s rise in World No. 1, the real-world faith of Greek gods was nearly extinct.

Meanwhile.

At a port on the Golden Coast, a seductive figure appeared on the merchant ship, gazing out at the distant sea with a hesitant expression that soon turned resolute as she stepped onto the deck.

——The Witch — Gleya (Arcane) (Magic Potion) (Five-Star Silver Gray).

In this period, she had made no progress.

After pondering for a long time and hearing the reports from the Golden Coast and overseas regions, the Witch Gleya decided to take a significant risk.

She intended to pursue Duncan’s mythical tale, to consolidate a piece of Legendary Level unique to herself.

Condensing Divinity through legend.

The Witch Gleya no longer planned to hide; she aimed to breach the demigod Domain.

Unknown individuals?

How can they become gods?

Those desiring deification must step onto the grand stage, broadcasting their reputation and legends across the world.

A group of Barbarians had stirred the waters.

Numerous hidden powers in the world began to stir restlessly as well.

It’s not easy to seize the opportunity of the era again. The present is the closing Chapter of the Mythical Era. Once the city-state era ends completely, it will be much harder for you to ascend to godhood—transforming directly from the legend of Heracles to the 300 Spartans against the Persian Empire.

Though it remains a legend, everything has changed dramatically.

The winds of the Mythical Era won’t wait for you.
