Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 488 - 248: Divinity Within Humanity

According to the temperament of the Child of Sin, it should have easily crushed Fei Guang and the others while tearing up the contract. However, as its hand was about to reach the members of the Iron Armor Corps, it suddenly retracted, casting a timid glance toward the upper floors of the Hymn Building.

Schultz’s voice rang out, "You guys shouldn’t just have this much ability."

Fei Guang and Chiba’s expressions were extremely unpleasant. They could sense that Schultz’s words were not directed at them but were aimed at the big figures behind them.

Clearly, Schultz had never taken them seriously from the start.

As top players in the Desolate Realm, when had they ever suffered such grievances? Since Schultz wanted to play, they’d play big.

Chiba flipped his palm, and a small golden tree sprouted from his palm, with three emerald green leaves.

Although it was a small tree, upon closer inspection, it was apparent that it was just a small section of a branch’s end, yet even as a corner piece among corner pieces, it exuded a grand aura disproportionate to its size.

Because this segment came from the legendary World Tree, Yggdrasil.

In mythology, the World Tree connects nine worlds, with its trunk supporting the "Atrium" where humans reside. Even the smallest branch of this creation-level mythical giant tree should not be underestimated.

This branch was the final trump card of the Iron Armor Corps.

Bringing it out indicated that Fei Guang and Chiba were ready to fight desperately, but not with their own lives.

As Chiba manipulated, the three leaves floated out, landing on the foreheads of the three aides following them.

The trio hadn’t yet reacted to what happened before their eyes widened, losing consciousness.

Their eyes opened wide, their dilated pupils gradually doused in a pale golden hue. Within a few breaths, the depths of their eyes completely transformed into light gold, and under the transformation of the three leaves, their bodies became two men and one woman of different statures.

The most striking of them was a burly man over two and a half meters tall, whose biceps were larger than an average person’s head. The man wore a brass helmet emblazoned with a fleur-de-lis symbol, held a giant axe, his entire body shimmering with electric light.

Wu Chang, also a player adept in the Thunder Technique, had fragments of Thunder Skill in his body that made him exceptionally sensitive to the Power of Lightning. From a distance, he could tell that the previous lightning attack from the contract was from the brass-helmeted man.

Most likely, the thunderstorm that nearly wiped him out was also his doing.

The man in the brass helmet was none other than Thunder God Perun from the mysterious organization.

The other male of the trio was an old acquaintance of Wu Chang. The man wore a full suit, his face adorned with a salesperson-like fake smile. Although the material, craftsmanship, and cut of the suit were first-class, the man managed to wear it with the cheapness of an insurance salesman.

Only Mercury, who had once been elbowed by Wu Chang from afar, could possess such a unique aura.

The last member of the trio, a woman, had long golden hair and wore an elegant white long dress, resting her hand on a long wooden staff entwined with a large snake.

With only one snake on her staff, a single snake staff was a symbol of a doctor. Combined with her demeanor, her role was likely that of the healer in the team.

The descent of the trio caused Wu Chang to furrow his brows.

All three exhibited extremely solid divinity, making it apparent they were all firmly established lower-level gods, with the strength to aim towards a mid-level god.

This level of strength should be at the top of the pyramid in the Abyss Second Layer, and they shouldn’t have been able to enter the middle layer at all.

Yet, not only had they come in, the power they displayed far surpassed the helmeted man in the Underground Shelter and was comparable to the Desire Mother Goddess summoned through a divine descent ceremony.

This indicated that the three leaves flying from the World Tree Branch possessed a simplified divine descent ceremony effect. Given the rarity of such a descent, even a single leaf might not match the Wooden Carving of Martial Star Monarch in rarity, but together, the three leaves had immense value.

The Wooden Carving of Martial Star Monarch was, after all, an A-Level Consumable. To devote such manpower and resources, even obtaining an S-Level Item would still be a loss.

What exactly was the mysterious organization behind the Iron Armor Corps seeking?

On the plaza below, the Child of Sin faced the abrupt emergence of three powerful foes with no trace of fear, roaring to the sky, its aura intensified.

Its black robe flowed like liquid, divinity became more solid, and from beneath its robe, nine withered arms stretched out, slapping toward the trio.

Previously constrained by the contract, handled casually by the Child of Sin, Perun held back his rage. Now freed from the contract, with room to maneuver, he absolutely intended to settle the score with the Child of Sin.

"The rest of you, stand back. Let me handle this!"

Perun swung his giant axe, charging at the arms with electrified axe blades. The restraining effect of the lightning on the wicked allowed the giant axe to easily cut through the withered arms, as effortlessly as chopping branches.

With several swings, all nine arms were severed. Perun, still not satisfied, gripped the axe handle in both hands, spun in place, and hurled the axe as if throwing a hammer.

The giant axe carried the howling gust and explosive thunder, cleaving into the Child of Sin’s chest, directly piercing through its massive body. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Perun extended his hand and gestured, causing the giant axe to trace an arc through the air and return to his hand.

Observing the Child of Sin clutching its chest, staggering back, and crashing into a tall building, Perun did not stop there.

He let out a hearty laugh, swinging the giant axe to his side. Lightning tore through space, slashing a charred rift in the air.
