Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level?-Chapter 179[Vol. 6] - Radiance and the Red Spider Lily
[Vol. 6] Chapter 179: Radiance and the Red Spider Lily
As though it sensed an external force approaching, the feather imbued with the power of [Destruction] began to tremble violently.
Unlike last time, when she was drawn into the mental world where golden-eyed Violet resided, the priestess faced this overwhelming force of [Destruction] head-on with her consciousness.
Despite having lost its physical form and existing only as a final fragment of its essence, the force of destruction seemed to have no sense of reason. It rushed forward like a wild beast and instantly grabbed onto the mental threads Violet had reached out with!
“!?”
It felt like a shock of static electricity on her fingertips. Violet’s body, still anchored in the physical world, trembled slightly, and she instinctively furrowed her brows.
After all, this was her first time engaging in such an indescribably abstract battle purely through mental means. Although the destructive force was consuming her SP at a pace as slow as ants devouring an elephant, Violet, lacking any relevant experience, truly had no idea how best to respond for the moment.
Just as she was about to withdraw her consciousness temporarily to consult with Xiao Kong beside her, a sudden change occurred!
Deep within the [Void Prison], her intangible SP energy unexpectedly erupted into [Radiance].
“What is this…?”
“Violet? Your body is glowing!”
Xiao Kong’s startled voice immediately reached her ears. The black-haired girl froze for a moment before quickly realizing what was happening.
It was the [Divinity]… the [Radiance] Divinity was stirring.
Even though she had encountered many inexplicable phenomena in this world that couldn’t be explained through the lens of a game, Violet had never forgotten one critical fact: the [Radiance Divinity], something residing deep within her, was fundamentally from [Illusory World], the game she had once played.
Although it lacked any rank or active skills, and Violet herself didn’t know how to use it, the [Radiance Divinity] would occasionally appear in the [Character Panel] list as a subtle reminder of its existence.
The priestess was aware that this was something very important. After crossing into this world, she could feel the [Radiance Divinity] within her in a way she couldn’t quite describe. However, she had never been able to extract it, see what it looked like, or make it interact with the external world.
She never imagined that such an unprecedented reaction would occur in the face of the [Feather of Destruction].
“Violet, are you okay…?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry,” she replied, raising a hand to reassure the worried catgirl beside her.
The priestess quickly refocused her attention on the spiritual energy extending deep into the [Void Prison]. She channeled even more power into it, constructing a crude SP avatar within. This amplification made the effects of the [Radiance Divinity]’s disturbance even more apparent.
[What on earth is going on?]
Her avatar, now fully immersed in the [Void Prison], glanced down at its glowing form. It looked nothing like her physical body in the external world. Gone was the white robe she typically wore. Instead, her ethereal, bare form was shrouded by a soft, golden radiance, which resembled a luminous veil of pure light. Her arms, legs, and bare feet were visible, their smooth skin shining as though wrapped in light itself.
Her black hair flowed like a cascading waterfall, shimmering faintly with scattered reflections of starlight in the void. If her usual appearance evoked the serene purity of an untouchable saint, her current form could only be described as transcendent and otherworldly.
There was only one word that could capture this image: [God].
If Violet remembered correctly, this avatar’s appearance was almost identical to the divine form she had seen the first time she encountered golden-eyed[Violet] in her dream.
The last time Violet came into contact with the [Feather of Destruction], that entity also happened to make an appearance.
Although it didn’t directly explain anything, the countless coincidences were too intricate to ignore, making it hard not to overthink.
Still…
As one of Violet’s most crucial trump cards and sources of strength in this world, the [Radiance Divinity] undoubtedly carried some monumental secrets. It was likely closely tied to the identity of the golden-eyed Violet.
The fact that it had remained dormant until now but reacted to the [Destruction] energy was both an exciting breakthrough and a pleasant surprise. Of course, it wasn’t realistic to expect all answers to reveal themselves at once.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
For now, it was worth a try.
Bathed in dazzling golden light, the girl raised her finger, once again reaching toward the colorless feather that had clashed with her before.
“Woom~”
An invisible ripple spread out like a wave in the void.
The [Feather of Destruction], as if further provoked, unleashed an energy surge far more ferocious than before. Its destructive force surged forth, transforming into a ravenous maw that lunged at Violet with unstoppable fury, as if desperate to deliver a fatal blow.
But…
In the absolute void where neither sound nor matter existed, the golden light effortlessly pierced through the retaliation. It enveloped the feather’s colorless form entirely.
With a single touch, Violet withdrew her finger, and the [Feather of Destruction] disappeared completely. Its destructive energy, along with its very essence, was utterly dissolved by the radiant light.
[So this is the power of the [Divinity]…]
It was almost effortless.
If not for the sudden activation of the [Radiance Divinity], Violet suspected she might have needed to summon her divine realm just to achieve the same result. Perhaps this was, in essence, a high-level application of the power of a divine realm.
After all, a [Divinity] is undoubtedly the heart of a divine realm.
The difference lies in how the power is wielded. It’s like comparing a nuclear bomb, which guarantees massive destruction, to a weapon of the same potency but condensed to a fraction of its original size. A more precise and flexible tool for combat.
Unfortunately, this thing doesn’t always cooperate. It feels a bit aloof… almost like it’s too proud to respond casually.
[Hmm?]
Just as Violet was marveling at this extraordinary power, which defied conventional understanding of life and death, her spiritual energy dispersed into the void brought back a new warning.
The previously dormant [Feather of Destruction], floating quietly in the void, began to stir. The energy waves radiating from them signaled their hostility. They reacted almost simultaneously, flared with destructive energy and surged forward like enraged beasts confronting their mortal enemy. They charged recklessly at the radiant girl, enveloped in golden light.
But Violet didn’t flinch. With an upward flip of her palm, radiant light burst forth, transforming into blazing stars that soared into the void, releasing dazzling rays of brilliance.
[A rare opportunity. Let’s use you as practice.]
…………………………………
At some point, the last of the colorless [Feather of Destruction], which had attacked like moths to a flame, was erased by the pure golden light. The void returned to its previous emptiness.
As if drawn by some unseen force, Violet, still surrounded by unextinguished golden light, turned her gaze toward the only thing left in the center of the [Void Prison].
A single object.
A flower, crimson as blood.
A “Red Spider Lily”.
[Have you seen enough?]
[Oh dear, it seems I’ve been noticed~]
The flower swayed slightly, and then, before her eyes, transformed into an impossibly beautiful girl with hair as white as snow.
On top of her head, a pair of triangular, fluffy ears twitched slightly, hinting at her cheerful mood.
[You look surprised. What’s the matter? Didn’t expect me to appear here~?]
