Rebellious Lord of All Realms: Su Chen's Dark Harem

Petrified Altar Breaks Divine SystemAfter leaving the Cloud Mist Sect Ruins, the God-Defying Squad headed south, straight for the Petrification Altar in the southwest of the continent.

Throughout the journey, Medusa remained solemn, a flicker of irritation occasionally crossing her red snake-like eyes—ever since her last engagement with the remnants of the God Realm Enforcers, where her Petrification Spirit Ability had been countered by their divine light, it had been a thorn in her side.

As a former queen, she would never allow such a glaring flaw to exist in her core ability.

”Big Sister Medusa, are you still thinking about being countered by the divine light?” Xiao Wu noticed her preoccupation and leaned forward to ask softly.

Medusa’s snake tail swept gently across the ground, leaving a shallow mark, her tone filled with unwillingness: ”My power of petrification was originally the bane of all techniques, yet it was easily broken by the God Realm’s divine light. This feeling is like having someone choke my throat.”

She turned to look at Su Chen, her red snake-like eyes filled with a hint of reliance. ”Su Chen, can the Petrification Altar really help me unlock the Petrification Source and break free from the suppression of the divine light?”

”Of course.” Su Chen’s black and gold eyes were filled with certainty. ”The Petrification Altar is a secret realm left over from ancient times, containing the purest Petrification Source, and it still retains the power to oppose divine authority.

The reason your Petrification Spirit Ability was countered by the divine light is that it lacked the nourishment of this source power. As long as you absorb the altar’s power, your petrification ability will not only be immune to divine light, but will also reach a higher level.”

Kushina crossed her arms, her long red hair fluttering in the wind. ”So what if it’s the God Realm’s divine light? Once Medusa unlocks the Petrification Source, we will definitely make those Enforcers taste what it’s like to be petrified!”

The other Sisters also chimed in with encouragement. Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass gently wrapped around Medusa’s snake tail, transmitting warm Life Power; Ning Rongrong promised with a smile that she would use the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to amplify her, ensuring that the absorption of the source would be foolproof.

After several days of travel, everyone finally arrived at the Petrification Altar. The altar was located on the summit of a massive stone mountain, constructed entirely of black boulders, circular in shape, and several dozen feet in diameter.

The surface of the altar was covered in ancient runes that glowed with a faint golden light, faintly resonating with the petrification power on Medusa’s body.

In the center of the altar stood nine massive snake-shaped statues, lifelike and vivid, with dark red light flickering in their snake eyes, radiating an ancient and majestic aura.

”What a rich Petrification Source!” A brilliant light flashed in Medusa’s eyes as her red snake-like eyes stared fixedly at the center of the altar. ”I can feel it; the power here is exactly what I need.”

Su Chen looked around, his God-Defying Power quietly spreading out to investigate the state of the altar. ”There are remnants of the God Realm’s divine light imprints around the altar. It seems the God Realm once tried to destroy this place but failed. Although these imprints are weak, they could still cause interference while absorbing the source, so we must clear them away first.”

”Leave it to us!” Zi Yan was the first to transform into her Dragon Phoenix Form, her Dragon Phoenix Fire burning as she charged toward the divine light imprints around the altar. Xiao Xun Er’s Colored Phoenix Fire followed closely behind, interweaving with the Dragon Phoenix Fire to form a gorgeous curtain of flames that scorched the divine light imprints. Yun Yun’s Wind Wings flapped, and Wind Blades shot out like a torrential rain, completely shattering the scattered divine light imprints.

Medusa walked to the center of the altar, runes flickering in her red snake-like eyes, echoing the runes on the surface of the altar. She slowly closed her eyes, channeling the petrification power within her, and attempted to establish a connection with the altar’s source power. In an instant, the light of the runes on the altar’s surface surged, and golden energy poured out from the runes, flowing into Medusa’s body.

However, just as the golden energy was about to touch Medusa, a golden divine light suddenly erupted from beneath the altar. The divine light contained a rich, sacred power—it was the remnant imprint left behind by the God Realm all those years ago. The divine light transformed into a spear of light and shot toward Medusa, attempting to stop her from absorbing the Petrification Source.

”You’re courting death!” Su Chen’s eyes narrowed, and his black and gold God-Defying Power erupted instantly. The God-Defying Scepter condensed into a ten-thousand-foot blade of light, slashing toward the golden spear of light. The blade of light collided with the spear, and the golden divine light instantly shattered, dissipating into specks of starlight.

”Su Chen, thanks.” Medusa opened her eyes, her red snake-like eyes filled with determination. ”Let me handle the rest.”

She once again channeled her petrification power, establishing a complete connection with the altar’s source power. Golden energy poured into her body continuously. Medusa’s body trembled violently, and the light in her red snake-like eyes surged. The golden scales all over her body began to fall off, and new scales grew in their place—this time, the newly grown scales were no longer purely golden, but black and white. The black scales were as warm and smooth as black jade, while the white scales were as clear as ice and snow. The two colors intertwined, forming a strange and majestic beauty.

In a close-up shot, Medusa’s snake tail had also changed; the original golden tail had become black and white, with faint rune light shimmering on the scales. In her red snake-like eyes, black and white patterns intertwined, and her petrification power became more refined and overbearing. The nine snake-shaped statues in the center of the altar seemed to have received a summons; the dark red light in their snake eyes became increasingly brilliant, and they bowed slightly toward Medusa, as if paying homage to their queen.

In a medium shot, the rune light of the Petrification Altar and the black and white scales on Medusa’s body complemented each other. The golden energy and the black and gold God-Defying Power intertwined, forming a massive vortex of energy. Medusa’s aura soared continuously; she had completely absorbed the Petrification Source, and her internal Petrification Spirit Ability had achieved a qualitative leap, completely patching the flaw of being countered by divine light.

”I succeeded!” Medusa let out a crisp, delicate shout, her snake tail gently waving, the black and white scales shimmering with dazzling light. She leaped up, her snake tail wrapping around Su Chen’s lower leg, her body leaning gently against him, her red snake-like eyes filled with Charm and determination: ”Su Chen, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would never have been able to unlock the Petrification Source, nor would I have been able to break free from the suppression of the divine light.”

Su Chen looked down at her, his black and gold eyes filled with doting affection: ”You were born a queen; you just lacked the opportunity to unlock your power.”

”No, it’s because of you.” Medusa’s cheek gently pressed against Su Chen’s chest, her voice carrying a hint of languor and reliance. ”In my original World, everyone feared my power and held my status in awe, but no one was truly willing to get close to me. Only you were willing to run around for me, willing to accompany me on adventures, and willing to help me become more complete.”

Her black and white scales gently rubbed against Su Chen’s clothes, and her snake tail wrapped even tighter: ”Su Chen, from now on, I am your queen and your blade. My petrification power will only be used for you; my black and white scales will only shine for you. No matter how powerful the enemies you have to face, no matter if you are defying gods or the heavens, I will stay by your side. I will use my petrification power to freeze all obstacles for you, and use my life to protect everything that is yours.”

In a close-up shot, Medusa’s red snake-like eyes met Su Chen’s black and gold gaze, and the black and white scales intertwined with the black and gold God-Defying Power, forming a faint band of light. The light in the snake eyes of the nine snake-shaped statues in the center of the altar surged, as if witnessing this bond.

In a panoramic shot, the golden rune light of the Petrification Altar and the light of the black and white scales intertwined, illuminating the entire summit of the stone mountain. The other Sisters watched the two embracing and all showed gratified smiles. Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shimmered with golden light, Xiao Wu’s pink rabbit ears twitched, and Zi Yan’s dragon phoenix wings flapped gently; everyone was happy for Medusa’s breakthrough.

Su Chen raised his hand to stroke Medusa’s black and white scales, his voice steady and powerful: ”Medusa, from now on, I will protect you, ensuring that you, as a queen, will always shine with the most dazzling light. On the path of nishen, we will walk side by side, and no one can stop us!”

Medusa nodded heavily, her snake tail tightening slightly, wrapping even more snugly around Su Chen. She knew that she had finally found her true home. Following Su Chen, she could not only become stronger but also feel an unprecedented sense of warmth and security.

Just then, Su Chen’s God-Defying Power sensed a familiar aura approaching from the distance—it was Xiao Ling. He seemed to be rushing toward the Petrification Altar as well, presumably having received the news and wanting to snatch the altar’s source power.

A mocking smile curled the corners of Su Chen’s mouth: ”It seems our ’old acquaintance’ Xiao Ling is coming to deliver his head again.”

A trace of killing intent flashed in Medusa’s red snake-like eyes: ”Perfect, let him taste my newly unlocked petrification power and see if his Sea God Blue Silver Grass can withstand my black and white petrification!”

The other Sisters also revealed their fighting spirit: ”We’ve wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time! This time, we must make him pay an even more painful price!”

Su Chen looked at the fighting spirit in the Sisters’ eyes, his black and gold gaze filled with determination. Medusa’s bond mission was complete, and the 15 Heroines of the God-Defying Squad had finally all pledged their hearts. Each of them had completed their exclusive bond breakthrough, and their strength had achieved a qualitative leap.

”Let’s go.” Su Chen said, ”Let’s go meet Xiao Ling and let him see just how strong we are after completing our bond breakthroughs. This time, we will give him a lesson at Shrek Academy that he will never forget for the rest of his life!”

”Alright!” The Sisters responded in unison and followed Su Chen as they turned and left the Petrification Altar. The light in the snake eyes of the nine snake-shaped statues in the center of the altar gradually dimmed, while the lingering Charm of the Petrification Source intertwined with the aura of the black and white scales and the God-Defying Power, remaining in the air for a long time, just like the bond between Medusa and Su Chen—overbearing and firm.
