However, there was none at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when one practiced the Great Dominance Technique, it was possible to activate it just by speaking. However, this could only be done through a special method of mixing the Godly Way and mental attacks. It was still a certain kind of mental attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zen could only look at his sister's back, lost in his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody else noticed what Yan had just done, except Zen of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire situation was just too chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more top-rank True Gods fell prey to the Fanged Cicadas and were exploding left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosions were also a hazard to the other nearby True Gods. Once injured, they were immediately the next target for the Fanged Cicadas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those who died were the top-rank True Gods of the first-tier clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the rich and powerful clans on the Floating Islands had prepared their disciples extensively for this competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in the face of such a sudden crisis, they naturally had a couple of tricks up their sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke, for one, summoned a group of palm-sized birds from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These birds flew all around him. Any Fanged Cicada that ventured too close would get swallowed up by the birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the three top-rank True Gods of the Bai Clan were arranged in a triangle, surrounded by sharp rays of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sharp light kept the Fanged Cicadas away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the True Gods of those first-tier clans would've also been prepared, their inheritances were most likely weaker than that of the rich clans on the Floating Islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unavoidable that, despite trying their very best, some of the top-rank True Gods ended up perishing under the onslaught of the Fanged Cicadas. Their heads were all pierced and their cinnabar fields exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom... Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed at which everyone fell had gotten faster but the explosions were also getting more and more numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on, guys!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reinhard shouted as he waved his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each slash released dozens of silver light that cut through hundreds of Fanged Cicadas in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, more Fanged Cicadas took the place of their fallen brethren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reinhard heard a muffled sound and couldn't help but whip his head towards the direction he heard it from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lorenzo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorenzo Mo of the Sword Clan couldn't answer to his call. He simply trembled as a small, bloody hole appeared in the middle of his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting any time, Reinhard immediately slashed towards Lorenzo's direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could explode, a wisp of silver light from Reinhard's sword cut his head off from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Clan had finally lost its first disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could this be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reinhard's heart sank. Lorenzo Mo was not weak yet he perished in such a crisis. He and Reinhard were not from the same branch but shared a good relationship with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His death greatly upset Reinhard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beginning of the debate over the Godly Ways was usually smooth. This great crisis truly caught everyone by surprise. Were they to die here so early into the competition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swish, swish, swish...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Try as they might, the number of Fanged Cicadas only seemed to increase as they ventured farther down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swarm was like a storm cloud that quickly shot towards the True Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reinhard's sword might be fast but it would be impossible for him to kill all these Fanged Cicadas. He wasn't entirely impervious to these creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only despair, unable to see any hope in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Yan appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of her and her brother alive comforted Reinhard. “They're alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He initially thought that these Fanged Cicadas was a test for these two. He didn't expect them to actually be capable in handling themselves so smartly in such a crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hide behind me! Stop!” Reinhard howled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to his surprise, Yan simply ignored him. She moved lithely in the air, her soft hair fluttering in the wind as she flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan put her long fingers to her mouth and uttered a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Entangle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Zen still didn't make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He allowed his sister to go on ahead but also kept an eye out to his surroundings. Once a Fanged Cicada came near, he would act immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he defended himself, he also observed Yan secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She utters a word but the voice has no emotion in it. It's as if she's not the one speaking...” he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Yan spoke, tiny whirlpools appeared in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was one whirlpool...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were one hundred whirlpools...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over one thousand...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of whirlpools...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These whirlpools were only the size of a fist but emitted a very strong gravitational force that sucked the Fanged Cicadas in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan merely floated there as the whirlpools continued to appear around everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously innumerable Fanged Cicadas started to dwindle as they were sucked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of these miraculous whirlpools caught the top-rank True Gods in surprise. They absolutely had no idea where these came from!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It's her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It's the woman below!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all exclaimed, pointing at Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no evidence of energy fluctuation around her, but they were able to confirm that it was her that created these whirlpools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This woman... Wow, she's so powerful. She's already saved me five times!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enoch announced. He had been quite frightened before but was now very excited at Yan's appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reinhard looked at Yan with a complicated expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't believe her theurgy was powerful but it was extremely unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that he finally understood. The Sword Clan must have thought it through before assigning the task of inheritance to Zen and Yan. Marsh wasn't a fool after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of these two was absolutely beyond his imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they descended, more and more whirlpools appeared. They did not kill the Fanged Cicadas but still rendered the creatures immobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lasted for five minutes more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this time, they finally saw the rotten worm's tail, which meant that they finally got rid of all those damned Fanged Cicadas.\u003C\u002Fp>",1114,"2026-06-06T08:27:18.777Z",1,"novelbin.me","d433bdf20062cbaf318f320678d653e3309a0dfc2f3cdcd8124b0781752460d8","apotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-chapter-2043","apotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-chapter-2041",3927,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-cover.jpg"]
