Chapter 200: with translation of chapter title

【Demigod·Storm City Lord——Kascius (Mythic Leader)】

Level: 289

HP: 67800000/67800000

【Demigod·Storm City Marshal——Ariel (Mythic Leader)】

Level: 255

HP: 51000000/51000000

In just a short half-day, the two NPCs' levels surged dramatically!

The corpse of the Wild Dog God gradually withered, reduced to skin and bones, as if it could crumble away at any moment.

When Xiao Feng arrived, Ariel just opened his eyes.

Seeing him return, he exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao Feng warrior, weren't you banished to another dimension? How did you come back?"

"Luck was good, I didn't die." Xiao Feng's tone wasn't friendly, he said displeased: "You asked me to do this, you reaped plenty of benefits and your levels shot up. But I faced such great danger and got nothing—this seems hard to justify."

"This..."

Ariel gave a dry laugh: "We didn't anticipate the situation turning out like this; it's truly regrettable that you encountered danger. Once the city lord absorbs the divine power, he will surely reward you handsomely!"

"Hopefully that's the case." Xiao Feng said.

The Wild Dog God died after all, yet he gained no experience points nor any item rewards—this feeling is unpleasant.

It's like someone stole the boss from him!

Xiao Feng waited aside as Kascius's HP increased at a visible rate.

His level also rose from 289 to 290, then 291, 292, steadily climbing.

In Kascius's hand, a cyan multifaceted divinity shard gradually shrank, becoming transparent.

"This absorption speed is really quite fast..."

After exchanging divinity shards from the Myriad Heavens Tower challenge points shop, Xiao Feng gained some more understanding of such things.

Upon reaching demigod realm, one can absorb divinity shards to strengthen one's divine origin power.

Before that, one could only use divinity shards to sense the elements.

The Wild Dog God was a mid-tier god; the divinity shard left after his death is as valuable as the lightning-type divinity shard Xiao Feng randomly exchanged for—very precious.

This treasure was snatched by Kascius; according to the Myriad Heavens Tower points exchange, he at least needs to give Xiao Feng 1.5 pieces of transcendent mythic equipment to break even!

Time flowed slowly.

Xiao Feng, bored from waiting, opened the friend channel to chat with friends.

In the friend list, "Shen Chuo" automatically appeared as a separate entry under "cross-region friend"; the name is currently grayed out, unable to be contacted.

Xiao Feng knew the other party possessed a "Myriad Heavens Transmission Privilege Token," allowing travel to any world, and he felt a bit envious.

He planned to raise his level during this period, train his willpower to a certain extent, and complete the fourth and fifth ascensions.

Afterwards, gather some shield magic to maximize his survivability.

Then continue challenging the Myriad Heavens Tower, see if he can break through the 300th floor, and also obtain a transmission privilege token to wander the world!

Shen Chuo and those top-ranked experts of various civilizations on the Myriad Heavens Tower have played half a month longer than him; factoring in the 10x time difference, that's equivalent to an extra 150 game days.

This gap cannot be caught up in a short time.

Fortunately, he has the Ten Thousand Times amplification talent; as long as he works hard, there's still a chance!

After all, not everyone who launched half a month earlier is stronger than him; on the Myriad Heavens player rankings, only eight people are ahead of him, while countless thousands or even tens of thousands are behind!

"Old Li, Old Zhang, what are you up to? How are the garrison defense preparations going?"

Xiao Feng poked the fixed team channel and initiated a chat.

Li Li quickly replied: "We're clearing the level 85 main story dungeon; it can be farmed once a day for decent experience. For the garrison battle, Shen Di and Ironhead Dragon and the others are helping us adjust personnel defenses; when the time comes we'll just go back and fight."

Then he asked: "Old Xiao, where did you just go? You haven't replied for hours; I originally wanted to call you to take on a mythic boss."

"Uh, I didn't reply?" Xiao Feng blinked, laughing helplessly: "I never received the message at all!"

The Myriad Heavens Tower is a space independent of the Zhu Shen Da Lu continent, possibly similar to a "cross-region" effect, so the message wasn't received.

"Uh, okay… but it doesn't matter now; we've already taken down the boss!" Li Li chuckled.

"Wow, that's impressive—you can even take down a mythic boss?" Xiao Feng said with interest.

Before Li Li could interject, Xing Yun Miao's voice came through the channel: "It's just a level 40 minor boss, under 5 million HP; with Old Zhang and Dun Dun tanking, I and Mang Mei dealt damage for a bit and finished it."

A level 40 mythic boss is something many stronger player squads can handle nowadays, so it's not surprising.

However, being able to defeat a mythic monster with a five-person party still proves their strength.

"The kids have grown up." Xiao Feng teased.

"Pah! Taking advantage of us!" Xing Yun Miao retorted angrily.

"Hehe~ I still have some things to do here; see you later at the garrison battle."

While speaking, Xiao Feng noticed Kascius's divinity shard had vanished, so he temporarily cut off the chat.

After absorbing the divinity shard, Kascius's level stopped at 298; only a small step remains to reach level 300 and become a god.

He opened his eyes, face lit with joy, muttering: "Good thing I reacted quickly, otherwise I'd truly have fallen in the mortal realm this time. This body is a bit weak, but its potential is decent; with some training, I'll surely return to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield!"

That remark was somewhat puzzling.

Ariel beside him, hearing that, wondered: "My lord, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Xiao Feng, on the other hand, wore an incredulous expression.

Kascius's words were quite strange.

It sounded as if... the Wild Dog God were speaking.

"Huh? You actually didn't die and came back!"

Kascius turned his head, saw Xiao Feng standing there alive, instantly flared with anger, rose, lifted his hand, and fired an energy arrow out of thin air directly at him.

Not good!

Xiao Feng realized that Kaxiussi had been swapped, and he was greatly shocked.

Earth Elemental Shield!

He instantly took out his magic staff and put a shield on himself.

Bang!

The energy arrow struck the shield, sending him flying and causing over 2 million damage.

City Lord! What are you doing!

Arui'er's face changed drastically; he had also guessed what was happening, but the person before him was the Stormwind City Lord he most respected, his direct superior.

Faced with this situation, he somewhat couldn't believe it!

Arui'er's voice failed to 'awaken' Kaxiussi, instead it provoked Kaxiussi's hostility.

Noisy reptile, get lost!

Kaxiussi let out a low shout, a long bow appeared in his hand, he swung the bow like a staff, directly smashing the stunned Arui'er away.

Boom~

Arui'er slammed into the rock cliff, causing a section of stone to collapse.

Xiao Feng saw this, understood that Kaxiussi had indeed been possessed; he was no longer Kaxiussi, but the Wild Dog God!

Moreover, he also wanted to kill himself and Arui'er!

Then he no longer held back, directly unleashing an ice arrow.

"Hmph, again this low-quality transformation magic. Brat, do you think I'm still in a heavily injured, dying state?" Kaxiussi snorted, drew his bow and fired a phantom arrow, actually shattering the ice arrow with an energy arrow.

This...

This maneuver is very similar to the effect of Shen Chuo using his sword to block magic; obviously the Wild Dog God occupying Kaxiussi's body is also a super expert extraordinarily skilled in the use of power!
