Chapter 960 - Wheel of Fortune
Chapter 960 Wheel of Fortune
Gods were immortal.
Even if the gods were killed by accident, they would be revived shortly after.
Given that Divine Power was limited in the Pantheon Continent, the God-queen Carulla could not be killed. Even in the Ruler of Gods’ Palace, no matter how hard Li Yi and others attacked, they would not be able to kill her. The same went for the Evil God.
Li Yi and others ganging up on them could, at best, reduce their HP to 1.
At the time of unsealing the Evil God Summoning Scroll, the Evil God had mentioned to Li Yi that the Ruler of Gods’ Palace on Mount Pantheon was the source of the power of the gods. The secrets to Ascension lay hidden in it.
“The gods are immortal, O lowly mortal. Once my strength is restored, I shall turn you into dust!”
Carulla cried angrily.
Carulla and the Evil God were regaining HP. The Mountain, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and Qian’er had never stopped attacking. If he could not come up with a solution, the longer they dragged on, the more unfavorable for them it would be.
“Dark Wing, seal them with your scroll!” The Mountain cried.
“The sealing scroll can only be used once every seven days, and only one target can be sealed at a time.” Li Yi cast a wry smile.
“Jesus…”
“Hahahaha! Since you can’t kill us, and it won’t take long before your powers are exhausted, you will die before you know it!” The Evil God guffawed.
“We may not be able to kill you, but what about this?”
Li Yi lifted the Ruler of Gods’ Staff.
At the same time, the Evil God and Carulla showed fear in their eyes.
“Hey, that’s the weapon of the Ruler of Gods, you think you can use it just like that?” Carulla tried to act calm.
“Just like that.”
Li Yi feinted a strike and it scared Carulla so much that she stuffed her head into the arms of the Evil God.
“Ha, it seems that the staff has its use.”
Li Yi also pointed the Ruler of Gods’ Staff at the Evil God. The latter’s reaction was similar to that of Carulla.
“Tell me, why are you afraid of this staff?”
Carulla and the Evil God looked at each other, unwilling to speak.
“O mighty gods, I hope you are not buying time because I can tell you with full confidence that it’s not gonna work.”
Li Yi waved his hand and summoned Dolly to shoot at the two.
The Mountain also placed four summon beasts surrounding the two gods. As long as their HP rose a little, they would remove the recovered HP immediately.
“The Ruler of Gods’ Staff is the weapon of the Ruler of Gods. Only the Ruler of Gods release its true power,” the Evil God said.
“Shut up, Elusia!” Carulla shouted.
Li Yi pointed the Ruler of Gods’ Staff right at Carulla’s face and she immediately backed down.
“Go on!”
They had defeated the God-queen and obtained the Ruler of Gods’ Staff, but so far, the Ascension had not happened, which left Li Yi feeling frustrated. His intuition, however, informed him that the secret of a mortal becoming god seemed to be related to the Ruler of Gods’ Staff in his hand.
However, its method of use was completely unknown to him at the moment.
“The Ruler of Gods’ Staff is the symbol of the Ruler of Gods. If I get my hands on this staff, I can become the new Ruler of Gods. Don’t you desire godhood, mortal? Give me the staff and I shall assist you in your quest!”
“I said, shut up, Elu—mmm…”
Having observed that Carulla was intending to yell again, Li Yi turned the staff around and stuffed its bottom edge into her mouth.
“Okay, you may carry on.” Li Yi smiled at Evil God Elusia.
“If I have the staff, I will make you my Divine General, second only to me. How about that?”
“Not good enough.” Li Yi shook his head.
Li Yi pulled the staff out of Carulla’s mouth and used it to tap on Elusia’s head, “Why should I be second to you? Who do you think you are?”
Elusia was dumbfounded.
“Tap! Tap!”
When Li Yi used the Ruler of Gods’ Staff to knock on the head of Elusia, strange purple damage numbers materialized above her head.
[-600000]
[-500000]
[-100000]
“No! Don’t touch me with that, stop it, right now!” Elusia screamed in horror.
Li Yi was surprised and knocked once more. A line of 700,000 purple damage numbers appeared above her head again.
Elusia had only one HP left, obviously not the same as the damage done by the Ruler of Gods’ Staff. However, she did not appear to be wounded. Why was she so scared?
“Explain this.”
Li Yi knocked twice and harder than before.
“Cease… Cease…”
“Tell me, tell me!” He hit twice again.
Torturing the gods felt good. When he recalled their snobbish faces and arrogant attitudes, he felt even better.
“You are deducting my max HP with the Ruler of God’s Staff. If you continue, my max HP will be permanently reduced. The process is irreversible…”
After listening to Elusia, he noticed that a huge chunk of the HP bar above her head had disappeared.
“Reducing max HP?”
Li Yi’s eyes lit up and he struck Carulla hard.
[-100000000]
Carulla’s HP bar on her head was reduced by a significant amount.
“Why you little—” Carulla bellowed in anger, but once she saw Li Yi lifting the staff, she immediately held her tongue.
“This is good stuff, hahaha!” Li Yi laughed heartily a few times and pointed to Carulla with the staff, “Now, your turn to enlighten me. Where is the Ruler of Gods?”
“You are not worthy to meet the Ruler of Gods.” Carulla gritted her teeth.
“Whack!”
He bashed her once more with the Ruler of Gods’ Staff, and her max HP was reduced by 100 million.
“You…”
“Wham!”
It was another strike.
“The Ruler of Gods is not here,” Carulla said softly.
“You don’t say? Obviously, I know that the man is not here. Why else would I be asking you? Where is the guy?” Li Yi raised the staff.
Carulla pointed to the direction of the golden seat. “In the Inner Palace.”
“Get up and lead the way!”
Li Yi pointed the Ruler of Gods’ Staff at Carulla and the Evil God, asking them to lead the way.
The Mountain approached Li Yi. “Dark Wing, I don’t think you’ve noticed but… someone is missing.”
“Someone?”
Li Yi looked around and his eyes narrowed.
He had been focused on the fight with the gods, and only now realized that Ghostly Walker had disappeared!
“Where’s Ghostly Walker?”
“Haven’t seen him.”
“He was here a while ago, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and Qian’er were equally as surprised.
Carulla pointed at the golden seat as they were speaking. “You only need to turn the chair to enter the Inner Palace.”
“Turn it then!” Li Yi scowled.
Carulla and the Evil God worked together to slowly move the golden seat.
A secret entrance emerged from the wall.
“Don’t go in!”
Just as Li Yi and the others were preparing to enter the secret entrance, the Hunter Goddess suddenly came out of the bow and stood in the way.
