Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 234 - 189: Promotion to Saint Tier, Power Breaking the Limit
The hundred Demigods sensed it the very first moment they descended into the mortal world.
Their Power could barely be maintained at the level of Middle-Rank Saint Tier.
Of course, the Insect Deities had anticipated this effect from the very beginning.
They obviously weren’t being foolish.
Instead, they had other considerations.
Because the Demigods descended within the area of Lince’s ascension, the Mana Will’s backlash also affected him.
Lince’s Power itself had already started Breaking its Limit.
If the Mana Will hadn’t noticed him at first, it wouldn’t have mattered. After all, Lince’s Ancient Bloodline was incredibly deceptive; his aura was still within the Saint Tier range.
But the moment the Mana Will noticed Lince—an outsider whose Power was Breaking its Limit...
...it would naturally subject him to a far stronger suppression from its Laws.
However, every living being, including the Insect Deities, had underestimated Lince.
Perhaps more accurately, they had underestimated the True Game backing him.
And now was the time for the True Game to make its move.
Having already corroded 10% of the world’s ruling power, while it couldn’t completely remove Lince’s shackles at this moment, it was more than enough to open a backdoor for his ascension.
And so.
In the milliseconds after the dark firmament of the Star Realm blotted out everything, at the very moment the Demigods descended upon the mortal world...
...on the very edge of the Green Earth Star Realm, a swirling, luminous rift suddenly appeared.
The moment the luminous rift appeared, vast amounts of solar radiation seemed to have instantly found an outlet.
Like a swirling torrent of fire, it swarmed and surged violently into this rift of light.
At the same time, a massive, ring-shaped portal suddenly appeared right above Lince’s head, in the center of the pillar of light that was on the verge of extinguishing.
The instant the ring-shaped portal appeared, a beam of Energy, condensed from a continuous stream of light and heat, descended once more.
And in that very instant.
Lince’s terrifying Giant Dragon body suddenly began to expand once again!
Twenty-eight thousand meters.
Thirty thousand meters.
Forty thousand meters.
The critical point was reached instantly.
That’s right—for Lince’s Ancient Dragon Species, the maximum size of his physical body at the Tier Nine Peak stage was 40,000 meters.
And then.
As an even more terrifying amount of Energy was continuously absorbed into Lince’s body...
At that moment, the light and heat surrounding Lince had become terrifyingly intense.
The surface temperature of his body reached a horrifying 5,000 degrees Celsius.
And the temperature was still rising at Extreme Speed.
At this moment, Lince’s entire body seemed to instinctively curl up from the pain of the immense Energy.
And so, under the gazes of the Insect Deities and the hundred newly descended Demigods...
...Lince’s enormous torso now completely resembled a miniature Sun.
The terrifyingly high temperature instantly vaporized everything on the ground nearby.
Cities, plants, and all flammable organic matter burst into roaring flames.
The area illuminated by Lince, hovering 30,000 meters in the air, covered at least several hundred thousand square kilometers of the Earth Realm, which was instantly transformed into a blazing Purgatory.
Ordinary living beings had no chance of survival.
It was fortunate that the location Lince chose for this first battle was far from any Players; otherwise, many of them would have died and respawned.
"How in the world is he doing this!!!"
"Something’s not right!!! There’s something wrong with this Otherworldly Deity!!!"
"We can’t wait any longer! Quick, one of us must pay the price to descend to the Lower Realm!"
"We must stop It from gaining more Power!"
one of the Insect Deities shouted, a mixture of shock and fury in their voice.
However, one of the other Insect Deities grew strangely calm.
It gazed at the increasingly terrifying Giant Dragon on the land below, its expression growing anxious as it said:
"Everyone, perhaps we’ve gotten something wrong from the very beginning."
"The Star Realm Gate we had the mortals open... according to the premonitions from our power, wasn’t the world on the other side supposed to be one without Magic Power? Even if it had some, it shouldn’t have been enough to give rise to a Mana Will."
"But look at it now. From the moment the Star Gate opened, we realized we had miscalculated everything."
"Not only does the world on the other side have a Mana Will, but it has now produced such a terrifying Deity."
"Have any of you considered that perhaps the world we broke into had, from the very beginning, already been conquered by another civilization?"
"And that all our actions have, from the very beginning, been nothing more than us walking right into a trap set by a more powerful civilization?"
The moment these words were spoken, the other three Insect Deities froze, stunned.
None who could become Deities were fools.
So, in that instant, the other three Deities were jolted into a sudden, horrifying realization.
"Impossible!!!"
"My Prophetic System Authority has never been wrong! This shouldn’t be happening. This concerns the very survival and ascension of our planet; the Mana Will Power would have surely been paying the utmost attention."
one of the Insect Deities said, finding it impossible to accept.
"But something has clearly gone wrong with reality. Perhaps our world’s Mana Will Power is weaker than theirs! Its Authority Power over the Laws must be inferior as well."
another Insect Deity analyzed, having calmed down.
"We’re doomed. If this is true, how can we possibly salvage this? Don’t you think there might already be Deities on the other side preparing to attack us in the Star Realm?"
The Deity who had been the most furious was now jolted to their senses as well, and they began to grow paranoid, glancing nervously around the surrounding Star Realm.
"No, the Star Realm Gate we opened is located within the mortal world."
"Even if the other side takes action, they couldn’t possibly be this fast. At the very least, they would need time to open a gate that leads directly into the Star Realm."
"As for this Deity before us, since Its true body has descended into our mortal world, we just need to use the power of the Mana Will to prevent It from breaking through from the mortal world into the Star Realm."
"But that is merely a stopgap measure. Now, we must consider how to resolve this predicament."
At this moment, the four Insect Deities looked at one another and instantly fell silent.
But without a doubt, the expressions on the faces of the four Insect Deities were all grim and full of worry.
