On top of her head were a pair of short horns, and around her body, there was a circle of illusory colorful light, holy and beautiful. The feathers composing her delicate wings were like stars, as if plucked from the night sky and adorned upon her.
At a glance, it was extremely dreamlike, as if a celestial maiden from heaven.
At this moment, this non-human-like winged being was busy dealing with the siege. Although she was the only one fighting alone, her petite body burst forth with formidable strength. Faced with this pitch-black army, even stronger than sixth-tier troops, she showed no fear.
Every time the starlight staff in her hand struck, the space would easily tear apart, and the erupting energy would always annihilate more than ten of the dark troops.
With a wave of her hand, a cluster of light dots, akin to the most intense white- scaled bullets, would instantly melt any enemies they touched.
However, this army of beasts, entirely black and emitting an ominous aura, seemed like emotionless killing machines. Fearlessly, they kept coming, sacrificing themselves in an extremely coordinated manner to create opportunities for their companions.
Finally, one of them found an opportunity. Its claws, harder than meteorite and as sharp as dragon teeth, heavily scratched her abdomen, leaving behind four ferocious wounds on her beautiful colored scales, emitting black smoke, akin to some poisonous venom.
“Hmph.” Nora snorted in pain. Using her staff like a club, she directly smashed the black beast that had injured her into a cloud of black smoke, pushing it back hundreds of meters.
A hint of dissatisfaction and reluctance crept onto her pale face. If her authority hadn’t been sealed, how could she have been so easily overwhelmed by these beasts?
Seeing that the black beasts still filled the sky, with no reduction in their numbers, Nora decisively turned and fled. These black beasts were inherently repelled by the world’s rules due to their evil and deformed nature. Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope if she could hold out until they were expelled by the rules.
Seeing the hunted target fleeing, the eyes of the black beast group flashed with red light, and they immediately chased after her without hesitation.
Their great master ordered them to kill this solitary guardian deity whose authority had been sealed and bring back her authority and body, completing that supreme feat. How could they let her escape?
Nora swung her staff repeatedly, her body constantly flashing. Soon, she escaped tens of miles away. However, the wound on her abdomen, which had been injured earlier, kept emitting strands of black gas, constantly guiding the black beasts.
“Damn it, I’m really done for this time.” Nora’s face grew paler. The sealing of her authority caused her to lose most of her self-healing ability, and being chased by this group of black beasts from the border to the inside, her strength was about to be exhausted. If this continued, she would surely perish under the claws of these black beasts.
Once her authority and divine body were taken away, she would truly become a piece of meat on the chopping board.
As her strength dwindled, the black beasts became more and more aggressive, and she could even see the mockery and cruelty in their blood-red eyes, making her shiver in fear.
She, a dignified and upright deity, was actually going to be killed by such a group of riffraff. It was really humiliating!
Gasping for breath like a broken bellows, Nora watched the black beast group surging towards her, her eyes gradually filled with despair.
However, at this moment, there was suddenly a fluctuation in authority.
The dark clouds in the sky gathered in an instant, followed by a sudden burst of thousands of thunderbolts, directly splitting the surging black beasts into pure black smoke.
Within a dozen breaths, thousands of black beasts transformed into pure substance, leaving Nora dumbfounded.
???
A string of question marks seemed to float above her little head.
Had that great god received the message and come to the main world to help her?
Between the dissipating dark clouds and thunder, sunlight once again poured down, and a tall figure stood in the air.
Nora squinted her eyes and looked over. She was about to greet the person, but suddenly her expression froze.
Wait a minute, is this… a human!?
The one who just saved her turned out to be an ordinary human, not even a demigod!?
Ji Chen looked at the strange humanoid creature, pondered for a moment, and decided to take the initiative to speak.
“Hello, I’m Ji Chen, the Lord of the Ocean Crown. I was the one who saved you.” Nora looked at Ji Chen, who was approaching, and came back to her senses. Suddenly, she stood with her hands on her hips, her face proud.
“Human, you don’t need to know my name. Just offer your faith and loyalty, and maybe I can accept you as my follower, allowing you to bask in my supreme divine light!”
Ji Chen: ???
What’s going on with this little one? She’s behaving as if he didn’t rescue her.
Could it be that she was scared out of her wit by those dark creatures?
Seeing Ji Chen seemingly stunned, Nora smirked triumphantly and continued arrogantly.
“Hmph, based on your handling of those dark beasts, I’ll give you a chance to serve me. Take me to a safe place and gather as many living beings as possible.” For most deities, the best way to recover was to gather the power of faith. As long as there were enough followers to provide faith, the injuries could be healed quickly, and even the seal could be undone.
This seemingly capable human, if turned into a fervent believer, would surely provide a considerable amount of faith power.
Nora thought smugly, but she saw that the human in front of her didn’t seem quite right.
She was feeling a bit scared now, as she was quite weak at the moment.
But still, she raised her head and said with a forced smile.
“Ahem, is there something wrong with what I said?”
Ji Chen looked at Nora, who was barely up to his chest, and inferred some things from her words.
Faithful, divine light…
These were terms that only an entity in need of faith would use. In other words, the small creature in front of him, with starry wings like a descending fairy, was a deity?
“…Are you a deity?”
Nora immediately raised her flat chest proudly. “Hmph, mortal, it’s good that you know. Behold my majestic presence. This is a rare opportunity.”
“Are you referring to the sorry state you were in when you were chased by those dark creatures?”
Nora’s expression froze. “That was just an accident. If it weren’t for my power being sealed, how could I be bullied by those dark beasts? Usually, I could crush them with just one slap.”
“But obviously not now.” Ji Chen mercilessly shattered her words, his tone becoming heavier. “And I was the one who saved you just now. When saved, one should thank their savior. Have you said thank you?”
Letting a deity say thank you to a mortal?
How could that be possible!?
Dream on!
“…Thank you.”
Ji Chen’s expression softened a bit. “Are you a deity?”
Nora raised her head again, proudly declaring, “I am a dignified deity, a lesser god standing above countless beings!”
“Just a subordinate god?”
Nora glared at Ji Chen, full of disdain. “Do you think there are many lesser gods? What, you look down on lesser gods!? At least I am a deity with lesser god powers!!”
However lowly a lesser god may be, they still belong to the realm of divine beings, to a higher order of life and existence, standing above countless mortal beings. How could they be ridiculed by mere mortals who haven’t even undergone the transformation into divine entities?
Ji Chen didn’t say anything, just extended his hand, and a dazzling purple lightning orb floated in his palm.
Uh— Nora felt like her throat was blocked, and she fell silent.
The power of thunder ranked as the seventh intermediate power, proved to be significantly stronger than her own abilities, which fell even below those of the lesser gods.
Indeed, her lesser god power was a bit lacking.
However, Ji Chen didn’t hesitate to deliver another blow.
“The ones chasing you are… called dark beasts, right? Even the enemy deities didn’t come to catch you themselves, probably feeling that they could handle you with these dark beasts alone.
How dare you expect someone with intermediate authority to submit to a lesser god like you?”
The more Ji Chen spoke, the redder Nora’s face became, until finally, she collapsed, burying her head in her hands. “Stop it, I know I was wrong!!”
