Chapter 3919 - Chapter 993 - Second Mortal G.o.d
Chapter 993 â Second Mortal G.o.d
âSecond? Who?â s.h.i.+ Feng asked, his voice trembling from excitement.
In his previous life, the Mortal G.o.d standard remained the highest achievable combat standard, even at the end of the war between the human race and the Holy Race. A Mortal G.o.d fully equipped with Divine Artifacts could more or less rival fifth-floor experts equipped with Divine Sets.
Now that he had the Flame G.o.d Set, the Guild would have three peerless combatants if Zero Wing could gain a second sixth-floor expert. That would put it on par with the weaker apex powers that had partic.i.p.ated in the middle stages of the war in his previous life.
âYouâll never guess who it is,â Blackie said. After a pause for suspense, he continued, âIf I hadnât witnessed this person conquering the Tower of the Abyssâs fifth floor, I would never have believed it myself.â
âIs it Snow? Or Samsara?â Of everyone s.h.i.+ Feng could think of, only Gentle Snow and Fervent Samsara could reach the sixth-floor standard so soon.
Gentle Snow had pa.s.sed the G.o.ddess of s.p.a.ceâs trials and achieved significant improvements. She also possessed an incredible talent for combat, so it wasnât impossible for her to reach the sixth-floor standard so quickly.
As for Fervent Samsara, he was originally only a step away from the sixth-floor standard. The foundations he had laid for himself were not much weaker than Red Frostâs. Hence, he also had a good chance of achieving the sixth-floor standard.
âNeither,â Blackie said, grinning. âItâs Phoenix Rain!â
âRain?â Blackieâs answer stunned s.h.i.+ Feng.
s.h.i.+ Feng remembered that Phoenix Rain had only reached the fifth-floor standard not long ago. Although the two Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells he gave her had significantly increased her combat power and allowed her to trade blows with sixth-floor experts, there remained a qualitative difference between her and sixth-floor experts in combat standards. After all, Phoenix Rain had learned barely any Gold Combat Techniques. Itâd be ludicrous to expect her to develop her own Advanced Gold Combat Technique in such a short period.
âYouâll know once you meet her,â Blackie said, snickering. âYouâll definitely be surprised. You might not even be the strongest player in our Guild anymore.â
âDid she improve that much?â s.h.i.+ Feng couldnât help but chuckle at Blackieâs confidence. âItâs no longer that easy to surpa.s.s me now.â
Although he couldnât fully utilize the Flame G.o.d Set, he already had the strength to fight Level 240 sixth-floor experts fully equipped with Divine Artifacts. A Mortal G.o.d without proper equipment and a sufficiently high level would not be a match for him.
Subsequently, Blackie summoned Phoenix Rain, who had returned from grinding in the Flame Dragon G.o.dâs Nest some time ago, to s.h.i.+ Fengâs office.
When Phoenix Rain stepped into the room wearing a dark purple robe, s.h.i.+ Feng couldnât help but suspect he was hallucinating.
Before leaving for the Flame Dragon G.o.dâs Nest, Phoenix Rain was only Level 225. Yet, she was now one level higher than even South Lake, Holy Dragon Spearâs Great Commander. Her leveling speed was simply unbelievable.
When s.h.i.+ Feng took a closer look at Phoenix Rain, he grew even more shocked.
âAre you really Phoenix Rain?â s.h.i.+ Feng asked subconsciously.
What had undergone a tremendous change wasnât just Phoenix Rainâs level but also her equipment. When s.h.i.+ Feng saw her equipment, he truly believed he was hallucinating. After all, not only was she fully equipped with Fragmented Divine Artifacts, but the divine runes engraved on them also looked uniform and interconnected. It was obvious she was wearing an equipment set.
In other words, Phoenix Rain was equipped with a Fragmented Divine Set!
This was equivalent to the Flame G.o.d Set he had obtained. However, he only obtained the Flame G.o.d Set out of sheer luck. If he hadnât been able to get a large amount of Undying Souls from Dragonâs Crown, he could never have redeemed the Flame G.o.d Set before the various pseudo-apex powers, and he would still be stuck with using Fragmented Legendary Equipment.
âGuild Leader, hasnât it only been a while? Have you forgotten about me already?â Phoenix Rain joked.
âNo, but havenât you improved a little too much?â s.h.i.+ Feng asked.
If it had only been an improvement in combat standards, he could have chalked it up to Phoenix Rain having a sudden inspiration. After all, nothing was certain when it came to a personâs understanding. However, it was a different story for weapons and equipment. These were not things that could be upgraded easily. Obtaining a Fragmented Divine Set required significant manpower, resources, and opportunities.
âIt might seem unbelievable to outsiders, but anyone who has experienced the Flame Dragon G.o.dâs special trial grounds like I did wouldnât find it surprising,â Phoenix Rain said, shaking her head. When she spoke of the Flame Dragon G.o.dâs special trial grounds, her eyes darkened with a hint of fear.
âThe Flame Dragon G.o.dâs trial?â When s.h.i.+ Feng heard the mention of the Flame Dragon G.o.d, he immediately understood how Phoenix Rain had achieved such an incredible improvement.
The Flame Dragon G.o.d was a Primordial Dragon, an existence matching Primordial G.o.ds. Trials prepared by such existences were both a blessing and a disaster. Should players stumble upon such a trial and fail to pa.s.s it, the consequences were dire. Conversely, if players pa.s.sed such a trial, they would reap life-changing rewards.
âI could only pa.s.s the trial thanks to the two Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells you gave me. Otherwise, it would have been impossible,â Phoenix Rain said.
The difficulty of the Flame Dragon G.o.dâs trial was beyond her imagination. Even sixth-floor experts wouldnât be able to pa.s.s the trial if their strength was limited to the Tier 6 Limit standard. Fortunately, she had two Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells to turn things around. Otherwise, she would have had to start over with a new account.
While Phoenix Rain was describing the special trial grounds to s.h.i.+ Feng, Blackie suddenly knocked on the door and entered the room with a serious expression.
âGuild Leader, three players suddenly appeared outside the Residence. They give off a powerful presence, and all three are above Level 240. The man leading the group is a sixth-floor expert, and I suspect that the other man and woman with him are also sixth-floor experts. They say that they are from a royal power named Silver Will, and they are here to meet you,â Blackie said worriedly. âBut it doesnât feel like they come with good intentions.â
