Chapter 3791
At the same time, Dannister in the battlefield at the edge of the city at the foot of the mountain, after seeing two beams of heavenly light break through the dim yellow night sky and descend upon the ruins, and after the Moon Seal bestowed upon her immense power, this female sorceress waved her hand to sweep out a piece of scarlet moonlight, causing the flesh and blood of the monsters attacking the city defense line to dissolve.
Afterward, she cast a spell to leave behind a red moon barrier, then left the foot of the mountain and flew toward the mountaintop as light:
"I am going to the mountaintop to support."
"Okay Professor... when did Professor Dannister become so powerful?"
And Megan, Claire, and Xiwei hurriedly flew out from the high tower and landed on the deck of the Glory Messenger.
Afterward, Xiwei was surprised to find that the mark Xia De had left on the outside of her upper arm when they said goodbye earlier had also lit up with light, just like a few girls in the battlefield below, so the Great Witch of Light knew exactly how many people had jumped ahead of her.
"Hmm?"
Xiwei looked at Megan's arm again, and Megan showed her a triumphant expression. As for Claire, Claire could not see the Moon Seal at all.
They had just returned from the sea surface, and now the church had activated the final defense ritual on the island, which was a defense ritual rebuilt based on the "Grand Movement of Fate" ritual.
The ships and people in the sea battlefield had all returned inside the defense ritual, and there was no longer any need to continue fighting on the sea surface. Protecting the island until the final battle at the mountaintop was decided was the only way for the Ringed Shushi to win at present.
"Xia De..."
Xiwei clutched her right arm and suddenly seemed to sense something, looking up at the starry sky, then asked in surprise:
"What is that?"
The deep blue belonging to the Moon God and the silver-white belonging to the God of Misfortune finally no longer entangled together at this moment, but instead occupied the east and west sides above the snow mountain respectively.
The two colors finally split completely in the night sky with the ruin battlefield as the center. And the deep blue and silver-white each tinted square areas of the same size in the starry sky.
The two square areas occupying the starry sky gradually touched each other under the encirclement of the dim yellow color, and the stars twinkled with light within their respective areas; this was clearly—
"A chessboard!"
Bella, who also did not participate in the battle on the deck, exclaimed, and outside the east and west sides of the two-colored chessboard twinkling with starlight, the stars twinkled, starlight condensed, and the stars together turned into two half-body phantoms more majestic than the chessboard.
In the sea of stars, the faces of the phantoms were blurred and indistinguishable. One was shrouded in the profound power of misfortune, while the other used the silver moon as its left eye, wielding the cold moonlight of tonight. The "Moon God," who had condensed a figure with the power of the stars, looked across the chessboard at the God of Misfortune on the other side. At this moment, His breathing was the twinkling of the stars, and His thinking was the flow of the sea of stars.
He still did not know what the god on the opposite side wanted to do, but at this moment, filled with divine power, He did not mind playing a game of chess with the 【God of Misfortune】.
This was just another way for gods to fight.
With a thought, the chess piece gifted by the hermits, personally carved by the 【God of Luck】, appeared and was placed by the huge silver figure on the east side of the chessboard into the deep blue starry sea chessboard.
Snap!
After the move, a priest chess piece holding a holy bell appeared in the sea of stars, and the chess piece shook the bell in its hand—
Ding-a-ling—
The spreading moonlight caused the silver-white chessboard belonging to the God of Misfortune to shake violently, so the half-body starlight phantom of the God of Misfortune beside the silver-white chessboard reached out and waved, and the power of misfortune turned into a black chess piece that landed on the silver-white starry sea chessboard; it was a black chess piece playing a flute.
The piper blew a tune in the starry sky that summoned misfortune, immediately suppressing the vibration of the holy bell.
Moon God Xia De, who already understood everything of the past, future, and present, let ten 【Cards of Universal Change】 fly in front of him. As the cards rotated around the starlight, the 【Universal Change · Earth】 card face fell into the chessboard, and the gold coin gifted by the Old God 【Lord of Walls】 fell onto the card.
The card and the gold coin resonated with each other, and the golden light escaping from the card face melted the gold coin, turning it into a starlight city wall chess piece, protecting the priest chess piece from the flute sound of misfortune.
So the God of Misfortune continued to play, throwing a chess piece holding a black sickle onto His own silver-white starry sea chessboard.
The sickle swung, bringing the misfortune of death. So 【Universal Change · Fate】 flew out from beside the Moon God's phantom, fell face-up into the deep blue chessboard again, and the gold coin with the holy emblem of the 【God of Gambling】 fell onto the card.
In the radiance, a gambler chess piece holding a huge die appeared. The die was constantly flipped by the gambler's raised hands, and in the clattering sound, the black light shadow swung by the sickle was dissipated into nothingness.
The sound of the die flipping even stirred the deep blue chessboard to soak into the area where the silver-white chessboard was located. So the evil god phantom composed of starlight dropped the third chess piece, and misfortune turned the chess piece into the shape of a black dragon.
After the chess piece fell into the chessboard, it immediately spat fire forward, so 【Universal Change · Light】 flew out, and then the gold coin obtained from the gift box fell onto the card.
Actually, the most suitable for this gold coin should be 【Universal Change · Creation】, but Xia De did not have it. Fortunately, this was already enough. The card and the gold coin resonated, and in a pure radiance, a clown wearing a clown hat appeared on the chessboard.
The clown laughed and scattered radiance, blocking all the fire spat by the dragon of misfortune.
"The last game."
The Moon God said in the starry sky, 【Universal Change · Silver Moon】 fell to the very front of the deep blue chessboard, and the gold coin given by the 【God of Mist】 fell onto the card.
So as the card and the gold coin resonated, a dancer chess piece appeared in the starry sky. The chess piece danced joyfully, and as it danced, hazy silver mist spread from the deep blue chessboard toward the silver chessboard.
"No need to rush."
The God of Misfortune made another move. This time, a chess piece based on His own image appeared at the very front of the silver chessboard, blocking the spreading silver mist. This was the strongest chess piece the God of Misfortune played on the chessboard, almost equivalent to the god personally entering the game.
So the Moon God in the sea of stars sighed slightly, took off His left eye, and struck that moon into the chessboard—
Snap!
Silver-white and deep blue intertwined, misfortune and moonlight danced together. Priest, piper, city wall, sickle, gambler, black dragon, clown, dancer—everything in the chessboard turned into chaos. At this moment, even the people in the snow mountain below the starry chessboard could not describe in words what they had felt.
And when people looked at that night sky again, there was no longer any chessboard or chess player. In the dim yellow night sky, only that silver moon was still hanging aloof.
The two gods seemed to have left; the Moon God won this divine war.
"Inexplicable, so what exactly did He come here to do?"
Silver light fell toward the snow surface, then condensed into Xia De's appearance in an unknown part of the snow mountain. The wind and snow here were exceptionally heavy; one meter away was already a vast whiteness, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Xia De bent over, panting heavily, the white smoke exhaled from his mouth intermittent. The power of divinity had completely dissipated; from this point on, only two drops of divinity remained in his soul.
Even because he did not fight that god at close range at all, the 【Benevolent Doctor's Injection Needle】 he had prepared to steal... to obtain divinity, he didn't even find an opportunity to use.
Although it was just playing chess with a god just now, the essence of playing chess was still a duel between gods, a collision of rules and rules, so the combat intensity was no less than the intensity of Xia De igniting divinity to fight evil gods in the past.
It was just that even though he won by relying on chess pieces, Universal Change cards, and those four gold coins, Xia De, who was sore and dizzy all over at this time, still did not know what 【Mr. Misfortune】 wanted to do:
"The evil gods that appeared before each had their own purposes; what exactly does this one mean?"
He not only consumed a drop of divinity for this, but even the four gold coins were completely shattered because of the collision of divine powers. But besides obtaining the achievement of "defeating another evil god," in the end, not to mention new divinity, he didn't even get any intelligence. The Outlander even suspected whether that evil god was deliberately trying to help Mr. Snake.
After all, in a short period of time, his body and soul could no longer support transforming into a god again.
At this moment, he was panting heavily, wanting to recover as soon as possible. This was not the consumption of physical strength, vitality, or spirit, but the sequelae of falling from a high dimension of body and soul, which he could only adapt to by himself; even the fate of 【Resurrection】 was ineffective for the current situation.
The wind and snow constantly took away the heat from his body, but fortunately, there was still that flame burning fiercely in his heart. His perception was completely chaotic now, and he didn't know where he was on the snow mountain. But he didn't know how the battle with Mr. Snake in the ruins was going now. When he transformed into a god just now, he only noticed that Luweiya let Stella leave the battlefield, and after reuniting with the old Mr. Zaratu who climbed up again, went to the temple to settle the final points.
Since the Chosen One ritual had not yet begun at this moment, it was obvious that a new situation had arisen in the battlefield or the temple, and Xia De knew he had to rush back as soon as possible.
"Hoo~ hoo~"
However, the battle between gods at least brought one benefit. At this moment, a large area in the starry sky had returned to its normal colors. The moon could thus project its light into the snow mountain, so there were only snowflakes in the wind at this moment, and there was only white snow on the surrounding snow surface without yellow sand; parts of the snow mountain were now normal.
"Could it be that in the future, I will go to the Fifth Era and become enemies with 【Mr. Misfortune】... hmm?"
Suddenly, he widened his eyes and looked up abruptly, seeing a wisp of golden light in the blizzard, slowly falling from the high sky toward the distance. Even from so far away, Xia De could perceive that it was a chess piece emitting golden light. This was not because Xia De's eyesight had increased, but the gold on the chess piece was clearly...
?? PS: To prevent controversy, I will state in advance that the divine war is not over, and this evil god descent is not hasty.
