Chapter 646 : Divine Duel

The members of the Church of Reincarnation had already disengaged from the battle.

They didn't know what had happened, nor did they know what the sudden descent of a god meant, so they could only go to Flos's side first to see what the situation was.

The remaining members of the other churches all looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky, waiting for instructions from their own churches.

At this moment, the Hero's Sword was no longer important.

The enemy's god had appeared right in front of them; what was the point of still thinking about that sword?

After seeing that everyone's attention had shifted away from them, the two Lianloras looked at each other, held hands, and secretly slipped away.

The competition for Lianlora's Hero's Sword relic seemed to be ending with the descent of Reincarnation.

However, not everyone was concerned about the god in the sky.

For example, the great daughter of the Demon King, Eitani.

She had arrived immediately after Felyn sent her the message.

If she were to follow Felyn's request, Eitani should have obediently gone to Felyn's side and played along with him in the relic competition.

But would she?

She didn't even listen to her father's words, so naturally, she wouldn't completely obey Felyn's either.

After seeing Felyn trapped in the encirclement of Lecia, Dorothy, and the others, Eitani felt that Felyn could no longer control her. She secretly slipped away and went to the most intense part of the battle.

Watching the humans fight, her hands were already itching.

Eitani was already fantasizing about snatching the Hero's Sword from amidst the crowd and then delivering an outrageously arrogant victory speech in front of everyone's unwilling faces.

But her fantasy was shattered by the Reincarnation phenomenon.

Eitani quietly followed behind Lianlora, into the woods, and discovered that a small number of people had not given up on Lianlora.

Lianlora, possessing the Hero's Sword, was very strong and directly repelled all of them.

She panted, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and gradually pouted with smug satisfaction amidst the other Lianlora's applause.

But a dark shadow covered the two loli princesses.

Long red hair appeared even more terrifying under the strange sky, and brown eyes stared at the two of them like a monster.

"Little ones, how about big sister plays with you for a while?"

---

Valeria had also followed the other members of the Church of Reincarnation and arrived near the God of Reincarnation.

She saw Flos from a distance, and also saw Felyn's girls opposite Flos.

"Miss Valeria, isn't that your..."

Isn't that your ex-boyfriend!

"Actually, he's not my ex-boyfriend. We were never together."

Her gray princess-cut hair neatly framed her face, and her gilded golden eyes were very attractive even in the dark night.

The first reaction of this daughter of a Reincarnation elder upon arriving at the scene was not to look at Flos, but at Felyn.

Because the current Felyn was too special.

A few strands of red hair were mixed in his hair, and his feet had already left the ground, floating in the air.

A giant, fiery red pillar of light pierced through the eerie green clouds, bringing light to the mortal world.

Opposite the God of Reincarnation, a huge human figure also coalesced from the fiery red light in the air.

After seeing the god opposite her, Reincarnation finally spoke, "He...romir..."

Upon seeing this scene, Valeria's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Her family and status, which she was so proud of, were so laughable in front of Felyn, who could guide a god into the world.

What exceptional talent, what prestigious family—all were worthless in front of a god.

Valeria didn't know the details of the battle just now. In her eyes, Felyn had already become a character like a Child of God, having mastered a method to allow a god to descend.

Her hand dug hard into the dirt, venting the indescribable emotions in her heart.

In Valeria's previous memories, Felyn was a character who always followed behind her, someone she could vent her anger on at will without worrying about him getting angry.

This time, returning to the Royal Capital District, Valeria found that Felyn had changed. He was surrounded by a group of young ladies who were completely out of her league. But she still felt that Felyn was inferior to her, or about the same. He had just managed to coax a large group of young ladies with the skills he had honed through his contract services.

And now, Valeria had to admit that Felyn had far surpassed her.

Not just anyone could make a god descend.

"Felyn..."

This was the first time Valeria had called out Felyn's name from the bottom of her heart. She felt that the Felyn before her had become a stranger.

Not just Valeria, but Adelina and the other beautiful girls around Felyn also felt that the current Felyn was very unfamiliar.

"Felyn, are you okay?"

Fiery red color flashed continuously in Felyn's eyes. He looked at the young ladies around him.

"I feel pretty good. I feel like I'm Captain Sivius right now."

"Captain? Big Brother Felyn, are you already confused?" Dorothy didn't understand what Felyn meant.

Just as Felyn was about to retort, Heromir's voice appeared in his mind.

「Now is not the time for bickering. Every second I am in your body, I will burn the affinity within you and affect your spirit. Let's make this quick. I don't want to be without descendants.」

「Lord Heromir, do you know what 'without descendants' means?」

The two gods at present were still just illusions, without physical bodies.

If the divine artifact "Eye of Reincarnation" fell into the hands of Reincarnation, then the Reincarnation floating in the air would become a true god.

Her feet would tread on the land, and she would wipe out all the opposing forces of the Church of Reincarnation.

Fortunately, none of this had happened yet.

「The soul of the person opposite is already damaged. Her body is completely controlled by the god. You have temporarily obtained a part of my power. How about it, do you want to have a fight with Reincarnation?」

「I couldn't ask for more.」

At this moment, Felyn's figure officially overlapped with the illusion of Heromir in the sky.

"Heromir..."

Flos's face was filled with hatred as she called out Heromir's name.

She did not give Felyn time to adapt to the power.

The hand of the god in the sky shattered the clouds and pointed towards the mortal world.

A huge, eerie green domain appeared on the ground with the movement of her fingertip, enveloping Felyn, Viloti, and even the members of the Church of Reincarnation who had rushed over and the people participating in the relic war in the distance.

"With your lives, offer a hymn to Reincarnation."

The patterns on the ground began to emit a chilling, eerie glow!

"Ugh!" Viloti let out a muffled grunt. She clutched her chest and slowly knelt on the ground.

The affinity in her body was being forcibly taken away by an extremely domineering and unreasonable force, which even took away her own life force.

Dorothy's face also instantly turned pale, and she leaned weakly against Veronica.

Not just them, but everyone participating in the relic competition was experiencing the same thing.

Everyone voluntarily offered their affinity to Reincarnation.

"Felyn..." Adelina knelt on one knee. She looked at Felyn, the only one unaffected, her fingertips wanting to touch him.

Adelina's vision grew dark, and her heart twitched painfully.

She couldn't stand, nor could she activate her divine art.

In front of a god, no one could resist.

This was a huge sacrificial ritual. In another half minute, everyone present would die from the sacrifice, and Flos would use their power to launch the most ferocious attack on Felyn.

「You just said my divine art was useless. Now let me show you what's useful,」 Heromir's voice appeared in Felyn's mind.

His body was temporarily controlled by Heromir.

「My power is not just as simple as copying. There's also modification.」

The power of a god cannot be modified, but Reincarnation was currently attached to Flos's body and had to use her body. Therefore, the Reincarnation in the sky was still transmitting power to Flos through a divine chain.

As long as there was a divine chain, it could be modified.

Felyn gritted his teeth, feeling his spiritual power rapidly dissipating.

A crimson divine chain shot towards Flos, forcibly wrapping around her divine chain.

Heromir's divine chain modified Flos's divine chain, dyeing it a fiery red color.

The content of the modification was also very simple.

Change from input to output.

The situation changed at this moment.

The life force that had been continuously flowing towards the God of Reincarnation was suddenly cut off.

Not only that, but an even purer power was being infused back into the girls' bodies in reverse.

What Reincarnation absorbed was the most primal life force and pure affinity.

The affinity that originally belonged to different gods, after being purified by Reincarnation and stripped of its divine attributes, could be used by anyone.

"This... this is..." Bernice looked at her hands, feeling the affinity in her body burning with unprecedented intensity.

Felyn wasn't so kind as to return all the sacrificed affinity to everyone.

Apart from returning all the life force, Felyn transferred all the affinity sacrificed by everyone present, and even Reincarnation's own divine power, to his girls.

Adelina felt that under the stimulation of this power, the "Glory of Order" within her body was actually showing faint signs of breaking through to Tier 2.

Everyone's condition returned to its peak.

What they absorbed was the purest affinity purified by Reincarnation, true divine power.

And Reincarnation, because her divine power was being output in reverse, her figure began to become illusory, and a pained expression appeared on her face.

"Unforgivable... Unforgivable!!" Flos shouted.

Not only had she failed to collect the life force of the people present, but even the god's own power had been absorbed by someone else.

She stopped the domain and condensed her final power into her strongest attack yet.

An eerie green beam, powerful enough to pierce through heaven and earth, formed at her fingertip.

The beam appeared in Flos's fingers, and the divine art's patterns slowly constructed themselves in the air.

「This attack is going to be tough. It's a continuous attack, so your Glory of Order can't block it. But when it comes to being faster, you won't lose.」

「There is one area where I'm willing to lose.」

In front of Felyn, a crimson divine art pattern formation appeared.

Copy, and then... be faster than her.

Felyn forcibly copied the power from Flos's divine chain and prepared the casting of the divine art at a faster speed than her.

Astonishment appeared on Flos's face once again.

Reincarnation was angry.

Not only did he copy her divine art, but he even finished casting it before her.

"Your thing is indeed quite good. But now, it's mine."

Under the incredulous gaze of the God of Reincarnation, Felyn took the lead and launched the strongest divine art she had cast before she could.

An eerie green divine light, mixed with fiery red, shot upstream from Felyn's hand, straight for Flos!

The world became very quiet, as if the mute button had been pressed.

That light devoured everything.

When the light dissipated, the illusion of the Goddess of Reincarnation in the sky was already covered in cracks. She finally turned into countless green specks of light and dissipated into the air.

Flos on the ground also lost all her light at the same time, completely lost consciousness, and fell down.

Reincarnation's divine art just now had attacked the spirit, so Flos, who suffered the backlash, was physically intact, but her soul was nearly extinguished.

The crisis was resolved.

The crimson light on Felyn's body slowly faded, and the few strands of red hair returned to their original color.

According to the standard script, this was the time to show a cool smile and tell the girls that he was completely fine.

But modifying and copying the divine art had long overdrawn all his soul and strength.

An extreme sense of fatigue washed over him like a tide.

His vision began to darken. Felyn's body went limp, and he fell to the ground, completely sinking into a long coma.

This was not something that could be recovered from with a few days of rest. Felyn's soul and spirit had been damaged.

"FELYN—!"
