Chapter 319: The World's First God to Get Slapped
A pillar of flames erupted skyward, violently shaking the divine being's body and making it momentarily lose balance. In that instant, the golden axe blade slashed across its waist!
Blood sprayed out instantly as the axe sank halfway in. The "princess" panicked, both hands erupting with strength to grab the axe and push it away with all her might.
The overwhelming divine power currently surpassed Lu Ce's capabilities. His body was sent flying backward, both hands gripping the axe handle as he forcefully planted it into the ground.
Screech—!
The ground was plowed open into deep trenches before he gradually came to a stop.
The "princess" stood on the ground, face twisted in fury, staring in shock at the wounds on her waist and hands—unable to believe what had just happened.
Even though this was merely a human vessel... she had been injured?!
She could clearly sense that the man before her possessed a power somewhat akin to divinity, though still pitifully weak!
Even if it inexplicably grew stronger at times, in the eyes of a true god, it remained insignificant—merely sufficient to prevent being completely overwhelmed by divine pressure.
Yet for some reason, he could actually wield that divine weapon with such power!Thanks to the Extreme Path Battle-Axe, she found herself temporarily unable to overpower him!
What a lucky bastard... Divine weapons had their own will when choosing masters. How could it possibly acknowledge him?! And yet he could still activate its power.
While both sides were currently using only a fraction of their strength, by all accounts, this already qualified as a battle between gods!
How long had this game been running, and yet a mortal like this had already appeared? A divine battle... wasn't this breaking the rules already?
Tch...
As these thoughts flashed through her mind, her power continued rising with each breath.
She had no choice but to keep recovering her divine energy—otherwise, this pest might actually prove troublesome...
Wait—something was wrong!
Looking down, her expression darkened as she observed the flaming crater, then glanced at the distant ruins.
These flames... that guy wasn't dead yet?!
One after another... It seemed the game's power ceiling needed another adjustment.
As the wound on her waist gradually healed, an eerie silence fell over the battlefield—until a flaming hand suddenly burst from the ground!
Boom!
It grabbed the "princess's" ankle and yanked hard!
Already distracted, the "princess" stumbled, nearly losing her footing completely.
Then, a figure wreathed in pink light erupted from below, leaping out of the ground—it was Sun, who had seemingly died earlier!
Emerging without hesitation, he didn't bother with fancy attacks like Lu Ce's axe strikes. Instead, he swung his arm in a wide arc and delivered a resounding slap straight across the god's face!
The slap was so forceful it created a visible shockwave.
Smack!
Sun hadn't even channeled any magic—just a pure, unadulterated slap landing perfectly on the divine cheek.
"FUCK YOUR MOTHER! Didn't even warn us before attacking, you sneaky divine bastard?!"
Devoid of any actual power, the Chosen of Lust had no chance to dodge or resist—taking the slap clean across the face.
This was entirely intentional on Sun's part. By stripping away all energy, he ensured the attack would go undetected until impact.
Damage dealt: 0. Humiliation inflicted: 100,000+!
This was also the effect of his Blasphemer's Badge—greatly increasing his divine energy absorption rate whenever he disrespected, insulted, or defamed a god.
Hence his earlier constant stream of verbal abuse toward the Chosen of Lust, though with limited effect.
If words didn't count as insult enough... how about a slap?
The "princess's" eyes widened with utter shock and confusion, her expression freezing as if time itself had stopped.
Did... I just get slapped?
The world's first god to ever get bitch-slapped?!
"Uh...?"
Even Xie Antong and Shui Zhongmeng in the distance were stunned silent, thinking—this guy's talent for chaos truly rivaled "Sin's."
"Unnecessary," Lu Ce remarked, glancing at Sun. "I meant your earlier flame pillar attack, not this slap."
"This slap though... has merit."
"Tch." Sun shot Lu Ce a look. "Obviously. If I did nothing, you'd steal another perfect clear, wouldn't you? Dream on!"
The spectators were baffled—were these two seriously chatting mid-battle?!
Had they no sense of self-preservation?! The "god" looked ready to explode any second now.
Meanwhile, Xie Antong wanted to point out that the game's clear condition was supposed to be about completing the wedding ceremony...
How had things derailed into this? Their current actions had nothing to do with a perfect clear!
"Ke... kehahahaha—!"
Mad laughter erupted across the battlefield as a terrifying pink energy ring exploded outward!
Sun was sent flying once more—being closest, he flew the farthest.
Lu Ce barely remained standing, gripping his battle-axe as he skidded across the ground—the only one still on his feet.
Everyone else was smashed into the ruins by the shockwave, including countless civilians in the surrounding areas who were forcibly pressed flat onto the ground.
"Kehahahaha...!" The "princess" laughed hysterically, her entire form twisting grotesquely after the slap.
For the first time, Lu Ce's golden mask showed a frown—the enemy's power was surging explosively beyond all previous limits.
The "princess" spread her arms as a pink pillar of light descended from the heavens, enveloping her completely.
She was livid. Never had she imagined being humiliated like this by mere insects. She decided to discard all divine agreements—she would unleash power beyond the game's restrictions.
These vermin needed to die!
As her arrogant aura skyrocketed, Lu Ce stood like a lone boat in a storm, battered but unbroken.
Yet behind his mask, an ecstatic grin appeared—completely fearless.
Shui Zhongmeng lay trembling in the ruins, witnessing the terrifying energy storm. As the world's 23rd ranked player, he'd never felt so insignificant.
This... was far beyond any player's reach now.
Maybe... we should run...
Just then, a rapidly spinning object buzzed toward him! Unable to dodge in time, searing pain exploded from his left temple!
The agony triggered an instinctive reaction—he raised his hand to repel the object, only to feel strange vibrations carrying a faint voice:
—Bone conduction transmission!
"Wait!"
"You're the key to clearing this game!"
