Chapter 354: Recapturing the Reverse Eye

The battle with the Reverse Eye ended in a comical way.

When Naimi Xisi sang a prayer to Wei Ke Na, Arthur Leck's will descended.

As a saint he cannot leave the sealed land, but he possesses the ability to possess.

One peculiarity of saints is that they can possess intelligent beings infinitely many times, and wield Legendary power through a mortal body.

One could say each saint is a reusable, immortal Legendary combat force.

Of course, possessing still consumes energy. Fortunately, each saint is backed by a deity, so even great consumption does not frighten the deity.

Naimi Xisi and Arthur Leck devised a plan: after Naimi Xisi finds the Reverse Eye, he will Summon it and join forces against the Reverse Eye.

But when the opponent's will descended, Arthur Leck fell into Berserk fury.

"No!! No!! Where have My Lord's divinity and the true divine power accumulated over tens of thousands of years gone?!" Arthur Leck's voice roared like thunder in Naimi Xisi's mind; the usually composed lich was now utterly mad.

Naimi Xisi frowned and asked, "What does that mean? Isn't that the Reverse Eye?"

Arthur Leck was silent for a moment, then hoarsely said, "It is the Reverse Eye, but combined with it should be half of My Lord's divinity and the true divine power My Lord has amassed over years since ascending to godhood."

"Without those, even if the Reverse Eye lifts the seal, My Lord's power will wane greatly, perhaps even fall out of the ranks of great divine power!" Arthur Leck's voice was anguished.

Naimi Xisi fell silent; no wonder Arthur Leck was so enraged. He still did not grasp the exact role of divinity, but he was very familiar with true divine power—it is a deity‑level strategic reserve!

"Don't get distracted; we must first deal with the Reverse Eye, free the one beneath the crown, then consider the rest," Naimi Xisi reminded.

The lich snorted coldly, "Divinity requires a divine soul to bear it; with its divinity gone, the divine soul is likely gone too. The current Reverse Eye is merely an organ without intelligence."

Naimi Xisi was startled: the divine soul vanished? So the current Reverse Eye is just an empty shell?

Arthur Leck continued to curse Saar's malice in Naimi Xisi's mind; he believes Saar stole the Reverse Eye's divinity and true divine power, yet Naimi Xisi sensed that the situation might relate to the Anchor Point mentioned by the Steward.

Could it be that the Reverse Eye discovered an escape route and abandoned its divine body to flee?

After pondering, Naimi Xisi did not share his speculation with Arthur Leck. Wei Ke Na is clearly an evil deity; Naimi Xisi cannot trust Him unreservedly—the two merely use each other.

Moreover, Naimi Xisi's original aim was to pit Wei Ke Na against Saar, but after hearing Arthur Leck, it's clear that a fleeing Wei Ke Na's strength would be greatly reduced, making their clash even less likely.

Juan Ce Long immediately realized the value of betting on Wei Ke Na was plummeting, so he intended to sell his information at a price.

Arthur Leck was so clever; he quickly realized his inadvertent words might cause the little imp who wanted to defect to his master to develop dissent.

The lich calmed, speaking in a cold voice, "My Lord's greatness cannot be matched by that bitch hiding in the dark. Even if the sacred Him falls from great divine power, He will eventually ascend to the summit again."

"You don't think that treacherous scoundrel would tolerate a fickle traitor defecting to him, would you?" Arthur Leck's voice hissed in Naimi Xisi's ear.

Naimi Xisi scoffed; how foolish does this lich think he is? Wei Ke Na and Saar differ fundamentally; there is an irreconcilable conflict between them, a conspiracy involving Mi Si Te La and Saar.

How could he defect to Saar and betray Wei Ke Na?

Nevertheless, with Wei Ke Na's situation so dire, he must make further preparations.

"All‑knowing Decoder, Master of Known Knowledge." In his mind, Naimi Xisi prayed to a deity secluded in the Mechanical Realm, informing it of the situation; after receiving a response, he felt a slight relief.

Communication with Ou Ge Ma had not ceased since Naimi Xisi sensed the existence of Wei Ke Na and Saar.

Only Ou Ge Ma is trapped by His Majesty Ai O's decree, unable to intervene in the mortal world.

Naimi Xisi dared to trade with Wei Ke Na only after receiving Ou Ge Ma's authorization.

Although the two deities do not know each other, both wield great divine power and bear no deep hatred, so they would not offend each other over a mortal.

Mi Si Te La and Ou Ge Ma are allied; the conflict involves Mi Si Te La's arch‑enemy Saar, so Ou Ge Ma would not stand by.

【No need to worry, I am already aware of this.】

Those brief words made Naimi Xisi understand that the current situation remains under the control of the Master of Known Knowledge.

What followed was simple: without divine‑soul control, the Reverse Eye was merely an instinct‑driven organ. Guided by the aura of the Law Eye Demon Palm, Naimi Xisi quickly retracted it.

When that kilometer‑tall giant eye transformed into an eye‑shaped gem in Naimi Xisi's hand, an immensely evil and massive force burst into his body like a wild horse unbridled.

Even Naimi Xisi's high‑dimensional soul trembled before this force, as if it could be turned into an evil servant at any moment.

Had Mind Power not continued to guard his spirit as always, he would have suffered a severe loss.

A shadow of darkness flashed in his eyes; this Arthur Leck truly never lets go of a chance to control him.

The petty Juan Ce Long had now marked the opponent in his heart, waiting for a chance to retaliate without hesitation.

Putting Naimi Xisi's thoughts aside, Arthur Leck was also extremely surprised; the Reverse Eye is not a toy like the Law Eye Demon Palm—indeed, even though the sacred artifact's power is immense, to a true deity it remains a somewhat useless trinket.

But the Reverse Eye is different; it is a half of Wei Ke Na, a true deity‑level being, containing Wei Ke Na's most primal evil will. Yet even so, why did Juan Ce Long, who touched the Reverse Eye without any protection, suffer no effect?

This is absurd! For example, it's like the Lord of Hell descending to corrupt a mortal, only to find the target unharmed and ignoring the Lord's presence.

Could this Juan Ce Long actually be a steadfast holy knight? Yet even the most devout knight should react at least when washed by such a level of evil power.
