Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 1014: Chapter 423: Fortunately, My Skills Are Superior

Hel summoned a three-legged white horse, standing over six meters tall, with two front legs and an exceptionally sturdy hind leg, looking utterly bizarre.

Hel flipped onto the white horse and urged it towards Wu Chang with a soft command.

The white horse was indeed a horse, but its movement was extremely slow. Due to having only three legs, its center of gravity was unstable, making it difficult to maintain balance, and it walked as if limping, very laboriously.

Being carried by it wasn’t much faster than Hel moving alone.

The formidable Goddess of Death, riding a lame horse, looked comical, but this lame horse wasn’t merely for transportation or chasing enemies; it was a magnifier for her abilities.

Sitting on the back of the three-legged white horse, Hel enveloped by gray mist surrounding its hooves, with each step, stirred up large swaths of gray fog, spreading a rich Qi of Death.

As the gray fog descended around them, it formed vast ice crystals, causing the temperature to plummet, making the floor and walls coat with ice layers, as if the secret research institute fell into a deep winter.

Under the reflection of the ice layers, the white institute of the research department seemed to gain an additional layer of light and shadow, at first glance, transforming into a grand yet ruined palace.

In myth-dominant ancient times, lameness was often associated with aging and injury, and the lameness of the three-legged white horse perhaps aligned with this anomaly, transforming toward the Netherworld the moment Hel mounted it.

Should it go further and truly transform the surroundings into the Netherworld, the area would become Hel’s Divine Kingdom.

With the white horse’s power bestowed upon her, she not only gathered the prototype of a Divine Kingdom but also enhanced her Divine Power by at least twenty percent.

From the perspective of Divine Power alone, she had already surpassed Erin in the Powerful Angels period.

With Hel’s current realm, if she remained clear-headed, Wu Chang would undoubtedly concede immediately and retreat behind Erin.

What a joke, he was still a Level 30 player who hadn’t truly awakened Divinity. Even with the Blasphemer’s blessing, it wasn’t enough to contend with a God who had gathered a prototype of a Divine Kingdom.

But now, it’s different; the Hel before them, despite possessing Divine Power, was a failed experiment, trapped in a peculiar state of being not quite dead, muddled in mind, similar to the surface people outside.

More importantly, the Chaos Authority and Deep Water Bite had already penetrated Hel’s body, affecting her status.

Facing Hel in this crippled state, he may not necessarily lose.

He looked at Hel and said, ”You don’t think you’re the only one who can summon, do you?”

He quickly retreated, extending his hand beyond the edge of Hel’s Divine Kingdom prototype, and made a slash in the void, with his True Self emerging from within it.

Thanks to his habit of setting up Space Teleportation Arrays along the way, upon discovering the secret research institute, he controlled his True Self to rush over, arranged to be on standby nearby through the teleportation arrays along the way.

Now was the perfect time for his True Self to appear.

As the True Self emerged, it transformed into the Sea Giant form, keeping its stature at about fifteen meters.

By devouring the Source of the Deep Sea, transforming into the Deep Sea Seed of Origin, his Sea Giant form shifted from human-shaped dominant giant to one with a more deep-sea creature-like appearance, truly looking as if he’d summoned a monster.

Wu Chang’s main body and True Self stepped back into Hel’s Divine Kingdom prototype, looking towards the lame horse approaching them.

This wasn’t considered two against one; if Hel could summon a white horse, then he summoning his True Self was only fair.

The emergence of True Self increased Hel’s sense of crisis exponentially; she hadn’t seen True Self attack, but with a colossal fifteen-meter frame, even sitting on the white horse, she had to look up, knowing this marine creature before her was hard to deal with.

Chaos Authority had already made Hel sense a threat to Life; instinctively fighting, she knew she couldn’t hold back.

She hung the rake in her left hand on the white horse’s back, raising the longsword in her right hand, and as Death Divine Power infused, the longsword’s shape altered, transforming into a large broom.

Wu Chang, seeing this, wasn’t surprised; instead, he felt it should be so.

If Hel’s abilities were truly associated with mythology, since the left sword could turn into a rake, if the right sword wasn’t a broom, it would be unexpected.

Amidst the gray mist, Hel’s broom formed in her right hand, maybe due to her being a failure, the branch ends of her broom were sparse, like the crown of a middle-aged man who frequently stays up late.

Hel attempted several times but couldn’t make the broom’s end grow dense and lush, having no choice but to give up.

Holding the broom in both hands, she twirled it into a circle like rotating a baton.

With each circle, it swept forth a wind of Death Qi, cold enough to freeze the soul, sharp enough to cut meat and bone.

Layer upon layer of the wind of Death Qi stacked endlessly, with countless wailing souls intertwined, akin to a calamity of death sweeping through the world.

Watching the howling wind of Death Qi rush forward, Wu Chang began to understand why there were no survivors wherever Hel passed, representing her harvesting Life using the broom.

Compared to the broom, Hel’s rake was indeed too gentle; if some purple potato essence seized not a certain glove but Hel’s broom, using it to reap life, would be much more thrilling than snapping fingers.

As the overwhelming wind of Death Qi descended upon them, Wu Chang’s True Self moved.

The fifteen-meter-tall body first shielded the main body behind, and then his whole body began to flicker with thunderous light.

As he upgraded the Thunder Skill Fragment to A-Level, he unlocked the Five Thunders Technique ability.

Within the Five Thunders Technique, undoubtedly, he used Divine Thunder and Celestial Thunder the most.

Divine Thunder specifically targeted gods, causing additional damage to targets with Divinity, and paired with Blasphemer, the effects doubled, making combat against ordinary gods easier than facing ordinary bosses with Power of Root.
