Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 2289 - 2290: Holding the Line
Although occupying the special advantages of the environment, this is something Agunas can’t do, because even if it could borrow complete information from the Mythical Era of Tamur, it cannot project the real Mythical Era.
The reason why Veronia can achieve this is because the World of Mirrors is originally constructed based on the reflection of the world, inherently possessing the ability to project the real world, even if its authority is weakened, it does not affect its ability to use it on a small scale.
The Mitradite Golden Palace is an important building of Mitradite, a place where the Divine Beings handle daily affairs, thus the soldiers stationed here are the most elite group in Mitradite.
Agunas couldn’t understand for a moment whether Veronia had completely projected the Divine Beings within the Golden Palace. If those people were also there, it would have to reassess the threat level of the Parallel World.
Fortunately, Veronia has not commanded those Divine Beings to appear, presumably it cannot project them.
Under the soldiers’ attack, the surrounding flesh giant wall was forcibly halted in its advance, and as more soldiers appeared, the flesh giant wall was pushed back a distance.
"Are there that many soldiers in the Golden Palace?"
Agunas looked at Veronia with some confusion. As the soldiers moved in, Agunas and its companions temporarily withdrew to the side, as despite their strong powers, they were somewhat inadequate against this enormous Flesh Chimera.
It couldn’t be helped. The thing has unique rule protection, causing the power of their ultimate moves to be greatly reduced, while those soldiers, due to restraint, could inflict damage not inferior to that of Agunas and its companions.
Veronia glanced at Agunas and said, somewhat angrily,
"How many soldiers do you think have ever guarded the Golden Palace?"
Although summoned using the Golden Palace soldiers as templates, Veronia did not limit herself to a particular point in time. The time span of the Golden Palace’s existence almost encompasses the entire history of the Mitradite realm, with countless soldiers having been stationed there.
If not for Veronia’s insufficient strength to summon all those soldiers, they might have been able to sweep across this area directly.
But even so, these soldiers now present show a sweeping momentum.
Just as Agunas thought it might be possible to kill through the entire flesh wall this way, a peculiar roar echoed and the Flesh Chimera began to change. The originally writhing flesh quickly withered, exposing a giant metallic body, and those huge metal blocks assembled in a unique way, forming a gigantic metallic chimera.
Silver-white metallic human faces emerged from those metal blocks, each face grotesquely opening its mouth in a howl, with harsh sound waves continuously attacking Agunas and its companions.
"Really quite annoying."
Veronia noticed that as the chimera’s form changed, the soldiers’ attacks were blocked by it. With a bit of thought, it guessed that this thing must have changed its own rules.
Thinking this, Veronia waved a hand and the Crystalline Dragon blasted toward the giant metallic chimera. Unlike before, this time the Crystalline Dragon’s attack displayed its full power.
The special rules enveloping the giant chimera had already disappeared, which meant the soldiers no longer enjoyed the restraint effect bonus. However, this change did not have a significant impact on Agunas and its companions.
Using real-world rules, although the soldiers were temporarily unusable, Agunas and its companions were not ones to be underestimated. As top-level Divine Beasts, their strength was not inferior to that of the soldiers combined.
"Interesting, this thing can switch between different rules, but this is useless against us~"
Veronia snorted lightly and launched an attack together with Agunas, while Tamur pondered without taking action.
On the other side, Feng Yuan and his group encountered a chimera similar to the giant ones faced by Veronia and its companions, also undergoing rule changes. Seeing that the effectiveness of attacks by the Different Time Qi Chen and their group decreased drastically, Feng Yuan had Xiao Ji similarly probe to detect changes in the rules of these chimeras.
Upon seeing this, Qi Chen and his group immediately swapped with Different Time Qi Chen allowing them to take a brief recess. There was no other way; there were only the White Wolf Deity and Najia as Divine Beasts present, with the White Wolf Deity able to attack but Najia unable.
Although Najia can switch forms, its attack forms rely on the power of the Starry Sky, which in this area is weakened. It could be used for assistance without issue, but for attacking, it would be restricted.
Nonetheless, thanks to the effects of Domain Awakening, Qi Chen and his group could withstand the chimeras without falling behind for a short time.
Feng Yuan fired massive black arrows continuously from his longbow. Originally, the black bow, borrowing power from Xiao Ji, did not possess very high killing power, but the White Wolf Deity could extend the time of Domain Awakening while Najia could reduce the interval between Domain Awakenings with the power of the stars.
Thus, now Xiao Ji and the Hao Chun Bird continuously reactivated the Crystal Domain and conducted Domain Awakenings.
"It would be great if there were Spirit Beasts capable of deploying all Crystal Domains and conducting Domain Awakenings."
Watching this chaotic battle, Feng Yuan felt somewhat pensive. Besides Hao Chun Bird and Xiao Ji, the Beast Tamers from Different Time Yang Hongzhi could also perform Domain Awakenings, albeit occasionally supplementing different attribute Crystal Domains since it was anticipated that later they might need to act.
After all, though the entities summoned from Different Time are not real Life, they also have physical limitations similar to real Life.
If they remained in the previous state, without relying on Different Time Qi Chen and others, Feng Yuan and his group would indeed be left clueless.
For Xiao Ji, deploying the Nether Soil Domain multiple times and conducting Domain Awakenings poses no issue, thus Feng Yuan’s location is supported by the Nether Soil Domain Awakening.
Since it doesn’t consume the entirety of the Domain Awakening’s power at once, for a period after deployment, the arrows fired from Feng Yuan’s black longbow possess the bonus of Domain Awakening.
Though not as powerful as Feng Yuan acting personally, he was merely supplementing attacks; meanwhile, the black-robe shadow that once floated behind Feng Yuan had already charged into the enemy ranks.
The black robe shadow wielding a sickle, like a war god, slashed effortlessly through the surrounding chimeras.
However, the black robe shadow attacking with weapons lacked area damage, thus in terms of efficiency, it was merely equal with Qi Chen and his companions.
After all, Ah Mu and others could unleash broad-range ultimate moves under Domain Awakening, which, although may not achieve a one-strike kill, could indeed conduct rapid mass clearing.
"Our position seems unchanged, is this really okay?"
Different Time Qiu Hanmo looked at Feng Yuan and asked, though he didn’t know Feng Yuan’s origins, nor did he have much contact with Feng Yuan, this didn’t prevent him from guessing Feng Yuan’s uniqueness.
After all, not everyone can summon a black-robe shadow with powerful attack capabilities like Feng Yuan, not to mention being able to attack freely himself, recognizing as well that Feng Yuan was the core of this group.
However, Different Time Qiu Hanmo had no thought of guessing Feng Yuan’s identity. Unlike Qiu Hanmo, Different Time Qiu Hanmo knew himself to be just a projection, incapable of influencing his real self, thus exploring Feng Yuan’s identity held no significance for him.
Compared to meaningless curiosity, completing the task was his priority.
Different Time Qiu Hanmo didn’t believe that holding their ground here would be favorable due to the vast number of chimeras. Remaining stationary might result in the opponent finding an opportunity to encircle them gradually.
As for Agunas and the others?
It’s not that he underestimated the Divine Beasts, but given the current situation, it’s clear it’s not something a few Divine Beasts could easily handle.
"Even if they want to do something, they can’t, right? These monsters keep coming, and they can’t break through without relying on the Crystal Domain."
With a smile, Feng Yuan casually fired a black arrow, shattering a patch of chimeras, and Different Time Qiu Hanmo said softly,
"But you can." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"You guessed right, but I’m not planning on breaking through now. I want to know which side that thing will choose as the priority target."
Without rebuttal, Feng Yuan calmly replied. He believed that just like Agunas and its companions, they could also cause great trouble for the darkness of the Devouring World. So, in their opponent’s eyes, who posed a greater threat?
Feng Yuan was quite curious, because this could also verify his hypothesis: whether the darkness of the Devouring World possesses a similar level of special ability, capable of discerning his real power like Agunas and the others.
