Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 914: Chapter 389: Plane Son (3)

This skill not only compensates for his long-range output capability but also makes the output effect flexible and varied. More importantly, upon seeing the Flesh and Blood Spear skill, a bold guess arose in his heart.

Could he have exploded with the Gun God’s transition skill?

It’s not just the effect when the skill is activated; even the status is directly called Gun God, obviously the core skill of the ”Gun God” transition.

So transition skills could also explode? Then, by obtaining the transition skill, doesn’t it mean he has half a transition?

Moreover, if he’s even bolder, the construction skills of the transition could explode too. Wouldn’t the ultimate skill of the transition also have a chance to explode?

Thinking of this, his eyes became fervent.

The battle in the slum came to an end, but battles elsewhere continued.

The Great Cathedral of Saint George was mired in a tough fight at that moment.

Things traced back to the time when Cold Mountain and Sword Star broke out of the Steam Council’s base. Xavier sent Executioners to hunt them down, while the remaining Steam Councilors at the base continued their original mission, heading to Stilan Palace to launch an attack on Queen Olivia.

In recent years, Olivia had nurtured a group of secret Transcendents loyal to her, relying on her growing power and the discourse power in the Extraordinary Steam Machine Domain.

Some of them helped Olivia execute missions, such as transforming into the Miner Thieves of Pine Tree Coal Mine, while others took the form of guards, stationed near Stilan Palace.

The level of these Transcendents was limited and completely incapable of resisting the Steam Councilors, who had undergone transformation and gained a semi-mechanical body.

The situation was unlike the one-sided battle on Bai She Avenue, though the palace gate was soon breached.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Olivia could only escape through a secret passage to the Great Cathedral of Saint George.

Originally, it would have been very challenging to stop the Steam Councilors with the strength of the Great Cathedral alone, but coincidentally, Randy was visiting Julie inside the cathedral to discuss election matters.

Hearing about the rebellion and the brazen assassination of the Empress, Randy immediately charged out with his sword.

As the pinnacle of indigenous Transcendents within the Steam Phantom Dungeon, Randy displayed the Power of Mystical Root Source similar to Wu Chang.

Unlike the half-baked Secret Magic Knights like Wu Chang, his Power of Mystical Root Source grew stronger over five years of diligent training.

With his full exertion, he could use his Root Source Power to expel most of the steam rules surrounding the Great Cathedral of Saint George.

To use personal power to drive away the rules of the plane—such a level of Root Source Power is something even top players like Cold Mountain couldn’t achieve.

Standing at the entrance of the Great Cathedral, Randy felt like he was back on the day of action at Moonlight Sanatorium. Regardless of what kind of Extraordinary Power or semi-mechanical body, as long as it was cut by his sword, it would be sliced cleanly in half.

With his strength alone, he forcibly suppressed more than half of the Steam Councilors, driving them from the entrance of the Great Cathedral to the plaza.

Julie wasn’t as domineering as Randy, but once she began, it was discovered that she, who had been quiet all along, actually possessed Root Source Power as well.

Every time she gathered her strength for an attack, she could cause a Steam Councilor’s body to twist from a distance, rendering them combat ineffective.

If Wu Chang were present, he would certainly recognize Julie’s Root Source Power as spatial.

It was evident that in the use of Space Magic, Julie relied entirely on her Talent and lacked the nuanced control of someone who systematically learned Space Magic like Wu Chang, yet her effectiveness was not inferior.

With the joint effort of the two, the Steam Councilors surrounding the Great Cathedral gradually found it hard to sustain and fell into defeat.

Seeing that they couldn’t break through the two today, the Steam Councilors started a tactical retreat, intending to leave.

Before they could exit Saint George Plaza, screams were heard from the rear of the Steam Councilors’ formation.

The short and stout one in the front, tasked with monitoring Cold Mountain and Sword Star, looked towards the source of the screams, only to see the space behind them almost filled with knife lights.

Behind them, the air was filled with countless knife afterimages, each resembling a solid entity. If touched by these afterimages, it would result in limbs being severed by the blade light.

Having escaped from Bai She Avenue and treated his wounds while hiding, the Phantom arrived just in time to join Randy and Julie in a pincer attack, quickly taking down all the Steam Councilors.

Initially, they intended to leave some alive, but upon stopping, they found that the bodies of both the deceased and living Steam Councilors started emitting steam.

Xavier had already programmed self-destruction within the Executioners, so he naturally wouldn’t forget this group of ordinary Steam Councilors.

However, since this tactic had been used once during the final battle for the invitation, Julie was prepared.

Before the Steam Root Power from the steam explosive thickened, she used her Spatial Root Power to transfer everyone into the sky.

Unfortunately, Wu Chang’s Space Magic hadn’t reached the Root Level yet; otherwise, even the lowest concentration of Steam Root Power couldn’t be broken through. In the slum, it wouldn’t have required Erin’s intervention to prevent the Executioner’s self-destruction.

Bang!

Pop!

The Steam Councilors, teleported to the high altitude, exploded one by one, not only dispersing the large swath of haze overhead but also setting off splendid sparks.

An attack designed to destroy Saint George Church and potentially the entire West District was thus turned into a fireworks display.

Julie looked at the returning Phantom, surprised, and asked, ”Why did you come back? Wasn’t there an attack on Prime Minister Glad?”

The Phantom opened his clothes, revealing a ferociously bullet-holed chest where the bleeding had just been stopped, and said helplessly:

”A powerful monster arrived on Bai She Avenue. According to the Police Hall, he is the serial killer, Executioner, who has been wandering Grimgland at night. Even when all of us joined forces, we couldn’t stop him at all.”

”I suffered a fatal injury when fighting him up close, and could only leave to find a place to treat my wounds.”

”They are now...”

The Phantom sighed and said, ”They are probably done for now.”

Upon hearing this, Randy furrowed his brow and said, ”Bai She Avenue is not far from here. If that’s true, the Executioner will soon arrive. You should rest; I’ll go check on the situation.”

After speaking, Randy lifted his sword and rode towards Bai She Avenue.

Julie, who stayed behind, took the Phantom into the Great Cathedral of Saint George.

The Executioner was dead, and the entire Steam Councilor force was wiped out. It seemed like tonight’s battle was over.

In reality, the battle was far from over. It could even be said it had just begun.

All the Steam Councilors had perished, yet their leader, Xavier, had not yet appeared.

Where was Xavier?

At that moment, he was floating high in the sky, overlooking the Gray Church slum below.

He had followed the Executioner the entire time, witnessing the Executioner’s fight.

He muttered, ”There are anomalies in the slum; steam rules can’t penetrate, but those anomalies are confined within the slum.”

”In that case, I just need not to enter, right?”

After speaking, Xavier spread his arms, taking a deep breath and inhaling a large volume of mist into his chest.

As the mist poured into him, the Root Source Power within him condensed wildly.

As the Plane Son, he naturally possessed steam rules. Even before Olivia had established Grimlan University to study Extraordinary industrialization, he had researched the prototype of the Extraordinary Steam Engine himself.

He always believed he was on a mission, especially after the Executioner dealt with Prime Minister Glad, and Glad’s mission was also transferred onto him.

Now, he was about to fulfill his mission.

With the help of the plane rules, the Steam Root Power within him condensed to its limit. He slowly opened his eyes, and a faint golden light flickered within them.

This golden light was called Divinity!
