Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Maiev’s Avatar, Dual Divine Essence God
"What?" Johnnie was stunned, and couldn’t help but cry out.
He frowned slightly, communicating with Coco in his mind, and asked, "What’s wrong with Maiev?"
Johnnie didn’t believe Maiev would keep anything from him.
Maiev was the first, and also the only god to acknowledge him as master. She was one of the people he trusted the most.
"It seems like she isn’t her true self, but an avatar." Coco’s voice came through.
An avatar?
Johnnie was even more shocked. He couldn’t help but think, "Are you kidding me? If even her avatar is a god, just how strong is Maiev’s true form?"
After a long moment, Coco spoke again, sounding uncertain, "I’m not completely sure either, but the Maiev you see now is definitely not her real self."
Johnnie fell silent. Maiev did seem a bit special. Other gods could create avatars, but Maiev never had one.
He had asked her about it before.
Maiev’s explanation was that her avatars were too weak. Could it be that, because she herself is an avatar, she can’t make another?
Coco’s voice rang in his mind again, "Maiev has her own independent consciousness, so she’s a little different from ordinary avatars. But I’m certain, this is not her true body. Master, you should still be careful."
Johnnie nodded. He didn’t believe Maiev was hiding anything from him, and with the master-servant contract, he could sense her thoughts at any time.
He was sure Maiev was completely loyal to him and meant no harm.
But Coco, as the soul of the Map of Heaven and Earth, was a special existence. There was no way she could be wrong about this.
Maybe he could find a chance to ask Maiev about it directly.
"Master, there’s one more thing." Coco continued, "I’m fully awakened now, and the Map of Heaven and Earth has partially awakened as well. The mountain and river space can now connect with the real world. If you refine a Fossil of Creation and fuse its attribute, items in the space can travel between reality and the game."
"Seriously? That’s amazing!" Johnnie was pleasantly surprised. He’d been wondering how to bring those hundred thousand Half-life Lotus plants back to the real world.
He hadn’t expected that, now that the Map of Heaven and Earth had awakened, this would be possible.
Plus, in the real world, he had another item that boosted his comprehension—The Iceheart Jade, which increased perception by five points. He got it from killing a Pluto clone.
If he combined it with Bellina’s Oracle Bell, maybe he’d have another chance to comprehend the Way of the Sword, and break through to the Sword Spirit Realm.
He wasn’t lacking for Fossils of Creation at all right now, and after killing gods recently, he’d gotten God-killing Power and mastered the Cosmic Eclipse Blade. His strength had improved dramatically, so he could definitely fuse another attribute.
But there was no rush. Johnnie decided he’d wait till he advanced to stage six as a Sword Immortal and finished his Five Elements Mage advancement quest before refining another Fossil of Creation and fusing his game attributes.
But before that, the most important thing was to build a country, boost his strength as much as possible, and prepare for the arrival of god-level enemies.
Johnnie reached the nearest city, teleported to Sky Blue City, and headed for The Chinese City.
Building a country requires at least three cities, and Solaris City was already under his control; it was just too far away to support the others.
Before that, Johnnie needed to establish one more city, and then he could build a country.
He arrived at The Chinese City and found Dylan to discuss the matter.
...
In the Land of Nothingness, several figures suddenly appeared.
They were members of the Doe Family and a few powerful figures from the Demon race.
After abandoning Vortanis City, they had teleported straight to the Land of Nothingness.
"Ancestor, how did it go?" Dorian looked at Douglas, asking eagerly.
Douglas’s eyes lit up, and the Demon-Refining Pot appeared in his hand. Wearing a look of triumph, he said, "I didn’t get Pluto’s Divine Soul, but refining the Demon God’s Divine Soul and becoming the Demon God myself isn’t a bad outcome."
"Hm? Wait, something’s off!" His brow furrowed, and he cried out, "I can sense the Law of Death—it seems I can ascend as the new Pluto."
"How is that possible?" Dorian asked, puzzled. "Ancestor, isn’t that Lisa the current Pluto? And she hasn’t fallen."
Lucius chimed in from the side, "It’s likely that she voluntarily gave up the Pluto divine essence."
Douglas looked uncertain; that did seem like the only explanation.
But why would she give up the Pluto divine essence?
Douglas couldn’t figure it out, but he decided not to dwell on it. He said, "I’m going into seclusion. Don’t disturb me."
As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged, the Demon-Refining Pot spinning in front of his chest, refining the Demon God Divine Soul and comprehending the Law of Death at the same time.
"Dual divine essence!" Lucius gasped in shock, his face full of dread.
Normally, a god-level expert can only condense a single divine essence—but that’s not always the case; a rare few prodigies can actually forge two.
Even among gods, such geniuses are one in a million.
A dual divine essence god wields two entirely different laws, making their power vastly superior to others of the same rank.
Dorian ordered the Doe Family members to stand guard around them, then glanced warily at Lucius and asked, "My lord, Johnnie is definitely planning to build a country. What should we do about it?"
His attitude toward Lucius was even more respectful than it had been towards Pluto, showing just how powerful the Demon race was.
He knew Johnnie had long wanted to build a country, and with three god-level experts at his side, he probably had the strength to do it.
"Don’t worry about him for now. Once Universe Continent’s suppression fades and the true gods descend, that human won’t stand a chance." Lucius replied, not taking Johnnie seriously at all.
As for Johnnie actually succeeding in building a country, it wouldn’t matter much in the end. The Four Sacred Beasts might be powerful, but they weren’t invincible. Once Universe Continent’s power disappeared, Lucius believed the Demon race would have no trouble wiping out that human.
He went on, "Dorian, send me back to the Demon race first—I’ve got things to handle."
"Understood." Dorian nodded, pulling out the Celestial Mirror again. It enveloped Lucius and the other Demon race experts, and they vanished instantly.
With the Demon race experts gone, Dorian breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his attention to Douglas, who was still refining the Divine Soul, and waited quietly.
Before long, two overwhelming forces of law descended—one was the Law of Death, the other the Dark Law—completely enveloping Douglas.
"He did it!" Dorian was overjoyed, looking at Douglas with eager anticipation.
Whoosh...
A violent wind surged, and a terrifying aura filled the air.
Douglas slowly opened his eyes—one was pitch black, radiating powerful darkness, while the other was an eerie gray-brown, brimming with Death Power.
"Congratulations, Ancestor, you’ve become a Half-God!" Dorian dropped to his knees, unable to hide his excitement.
All the Doe Family disciples knelt as well, faces full of awe.
"Haha!" Douglas laughed wildly, his gray-brown hair flying as he basked in his triumph.
"I’m still one step away. I have to reach stage nine, the very peak, before I can become a true god." he said with a hint of regret.
"Leveling up is nothing for us." Dorian replied dismissively, then asked with anticipation, "Ancestor, can you kill that Johnnie now?"
Douglas nodded and said with confidence, "Now that I’ve gained dual divine essence and mastered two completely different powerful laws, killing Johnnie would be a breeze. But we have more important things to do right now—building our country!"
He knew very well that no matter how powerful Johnnie became, it wouldn’t affect what was coming next.
Right now, the top priority was boosting the Doe Family’s strength.
Dorian looked frustrated. "But Ancestor, we no longer have a National Founding Decree."
"That’s not a problem. We just need to kill another god." Douglas replied coolly, full of confidence.
Dorian’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Ancestor, you really have the power to kill a god now?"
Douglas nodded calmly. "A fully awakened god? No chance. But a Half-God sealed here? That won’t be a problem."
As he spoke, he stared intently into the depths of the Land of Nothingness.
Killing a god had a pretty good chance of dropping a National Founding Decree, and with dual divine essence, he had no fear of the upcoming Beast Wave either.
"Let’s go find a weak god who’s been sealed away." he said, and in a flash, shot deeper into the Land of Nothingness.
Dorian quickly gathered the Doe Family disciples and followed close behind.
...
Meanwhile, Johnnie had no idea that Douglas had already acquired dual divine essence.
By now, he had returned to The Chinese City and was discussing the nation-building plan with Dylan.
"Johnnie, I just reported to the higher-ups. They said you have full authority over this matter—our military is just here to support you." Dylan said with a smile, relaying the message from above.
Johnnie was a bit surprised—building a country was no small thing. Compared to founding a city, it brought enormous advantages.
But then he realized the military knew him well. Even if he did succeed in building a country, he wouldn’t manage it himself; he’d almost certainly leave it in Dylan’s hands.
"Alright." Johnnie agreed without further hesitation. He pulled out a map, spread it out, and pointed to a spot near The Chinese City. "We need to build one more city. I’m choosing this location—it’ll link up perfectly with The Chinese City and Sky Blue City. If The Chinese City runs into trouble, the other two can send help right away."
Dylan nodded in agreement. "That’s definitely a solid choice. And if anything happens in the Dark Forest, this city can cover that area too."
Seeing that Dylan had no objections, Johnnie went on, "We’ll call this new city Tetrasaint City. And as for the nation, let’s name it the Montemar Empire."
He didn’t pick an obviously Eastern name; this time, he wanted to unite Earth players to fight back against the alien invasion of Universe Continent.
"No problem. I’ll contact the other war zones and coordinate our defense." Dylan offered.
The Beast Wave that attacks during city-building wasn’t all that strong—Johnnie’s subordinates and the four Sacred Beast avatars would have no trouble holding the line.
Still, it was a rare training opportunity for the various war zones, and Dylan didn’t want to miss it.
The two of them got to work right away.
Johnnie reached out to Vivian and asked her to bring some people over to help build Tetrasaint City.
Atlas heard the news and immediately led the Yett Family disciples to assist the military in defending against the Beast Wave.
The girls showed up as well, and to Johnnie’s surprise, Crysic was with them.
Johnnie looked a bit surprised and asked, "Crysic, did you change your class to Sword Immortal?"
Crysic nodded proudly. "Johnnie, I’ve already grasped the State of Sword Mind and successfully changed my class to Sword Immortal."
