Chapter 317: Are You Two... Going To Team Up?
The "Princess's" face twisted into a hideous expression, almost distorted as she forced herself to speak calmly:
"When did this... ever become yours?"
"Hasn't it always been me using it?" Lu Ce replied, spinning the axe casually in his hand.
The "Princess": ?
So you're using MY belonging, and now claim it's yours?
But of course she wouldn't continue arguing over such trivial matters now. After everything that had happened, her divine pride had already been trampled into the dirt.
Prolonging this meaningless dispute would only make her look like a clown.
This world had always operated this way - concepts of "yours" and "mine" were meaningless. The strong simply took what they wanted.
"Keep holding it then. I'll retrieve it after you die."
The "Princess" said with a darkened expression, the power gathering around her making further patience impossible.Looking up, a second sun seemed to appear in the sky.
Ever since being shocked by Lu Ce's axe strike, he had been gathering power. Now the rolling fireball descended indiscriminately upon everyone in the area.
The Scorching Sun's absorbed divine power had reached its peak, pressing down madly toward the ground.
"Tch."
The "Princess" snorted disdainfully, raising one hand skyward like a pillar between heaven and earth. An invisible force surged upward, forcibly stopping the fireball's descent.
Pink light radiated outward, wildly dissipating and dispersing the Scorching Sun's power.
Then with her other hand, she casually flicked toward Lu Ce. Rippling waves infused with the Chosen of Lust's power came crashing forward.
Lu Ce crossed his axe horizontally before him. The invisible collision forced him back several steps.
Simultaneously, the fireball in the sky reached its limit, trembling violently before exploding with a thunderous boom.
The Sun's body went flying through the air again like a flaming meteor.
This divine-level battle had long surpassed what ordinary people could withstand. The citizens below stood dumbfounded - some praying desperately, others fleeing in panic, while priests continued their frenzied dances.
The "Princess" curled her lips into a wicked smile, seemingly pleased with her performance.
Casually shattering the Sun's ultimate attack while repelling Lu Ce with a single palm - this proclaimed the return of her true power.
"Prepare yourselves mentally. A god is about to descend."
Her expression showed clear enjoyment of this overwhelming superiority.
Thud!
After several midair rotations, the Sun finally crashed to the ground with a dull thump.
After gulping down some potions, he continued stealing divine power while entering an almost berserk state of excitement.
Meanwhile, Lu Ce who had been forced back said nothing, simply gripping the Extreme Path Battle-Axe with both hands!
Swinging the handle in a massive golden arc, his body bending like a drawn bow, he brought the axe crashing down toward the "Princess" with both hands!
The impact split the entire castle in two, golden light carving a fissure through the ground.
Seeing the golden light surging toward her, the "Princess" instinctively wanted to dodge again. But this time she grew furious - how could she keep avoiding a mere mortal's attacks?
She raised her hands to meet it head-on.
When their powers collided, she received a shock - this wasn't just his strength, but the weapon's divine power too!
Immediately switching to both hands and unleashing full divine power, she still staggered back seven or eight steps before stabilizing.
"Seems you weren't prepared," Lu Ce remarked indifferently, resting the giant axe on his shoulder.
"Hmph!" The Princess actually laughed instead of getting angry. "Good, good! This makes you more interesting!"
Her gaze swept over Lu Ce and the Sun as she declared:
"I won't give either of you chance to beg for mercy. We'll play more later."
"But first, let's clear out the unworthy trash."
As her words fell, pink light suddenly erupted, enveloping every person and player in the castle.
This wasn't an energy attack, but the influence of the Chosen of Lust.
Weaker NPCs like cooks immediately collapsed into convulsions - though the convulsing body parts raised some disturbing imagery.
Players completely lost their minds, wandering about with blissful expressions like lost souls.
The weakest even began stripping publicly, red underwear flashing for all to see!
The Sun groaned, his body swaying unsteadily.
Having already stolen too much foreign divine power, the Chosen of Lust's influence affected him exponentially!
Only his natural strength and mental fortitude prevented complete loss of control.
But in the next second, a figure appeared before him - Shui Zhongmeng!
His usually gentle face now held an inexplicable severity as he struck the Sun's chest with his palm.
With a "bang", a pink mist exploded from the Sun's back in humanoid shape.
But the Sun's eyes instantly cleared, returning to normal.
——Soul-Ejecting Palm, Shui Zhongmeng.
Then Shui Zhongmeng delivered the same palm strike to his own forehead, restoring his own clarity before calmly standing beside the Sun.
Other players weren't so fortunate.
They looked on the verge of death.
Then a strange fragrance permeated the area, making everyone pause as some clarity returned to their eyes.
The "Princess" whipped her head around to see Xie Antong at the far end, lighting three sticks of incense.
Soulburn Incense! Effect: Magic Nullification!
Xie Antong blew on the incense, making it burn rapidly - after all, it was countering divine power.
These three incense sticks, more valuable than their weight in gold on the black market, burned halfway in that single breath!
Xie Antong called out clearly:
"All players, evacuate! If unsure of your strength, use Exit Coins now!"
Many recovering players shot grateful looks before fleeing without hesitation, some immediately using Exit Coins to escape.
Forget strength - this was literally life or death.
The "Princess" frowned slightly, wondering where this new nuisance came from.
And... why she seemed completely unaffected.
At this moment, blue veins bulged prominently around Xie Antong's eyes, some even protruding.
The dose she'd just injected had exceeded her previous limit again...
Absolute rationality - no room for lust to enter her heart.
Soon only five figures remained standing in the area.
Lu Ce glanced back at her:
"What, you're not leaving?"
Currently overdosed on medication, Xie Antong no longer appeared calm and intelligent but rather bewitchingly sinister.
Her blue-tinged eyes locked onto Lu Ce as she curled her lips into a wicked smile.
"What?"
"Lord Arrogance, don't tell me you lack confidence in protecting teammates from this feeble god?"
Lu Ce froze momentarily before bursting into unexpected laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Golden energy erupted violently from his body, soaring skyward!
For the first time, Arrogance wasn't growing passively under divine pressure, but actively ascending to new heights!
Turning back, his right hand gripping the axe handle, he regarded the Princess and Sun before him.
His other hand slowly rose, fingers curling in a taunting gesture.
"You two..."
"Going to team up?"
"Bring it!"
