Chapter 401: Can a mortal slay a god?
```
"...The staff is called Dragon's Roar. It can amplify magic power by fifty percent, attract thirty percent of the surrounding elements, and increase casting speed."
"The belt is called Frost Moon, crafted personally by Alchemy Master Loka. It also amplifies magic power. When subjected to a severe impact, the engraved patterns can activate a whirlwind shield..."
"The boots are called Hurricane Boots, also made by Loka. They have an affinity for air elements and can reduce magic power consumption by fifty percent when using flight spells."
...
The Grand Duke introduced each piece of equipment to Du Ge, feeling a pang of pain with each item. He pondered how to avenge the humiliation Holly had inflicted on him once he regained his freedom and power.
At this moment, he understood why Holly had stripped him. Holly was worried he might use these items to counterattack.
But with his mental power locked and his body bound by water, he was just an ordinary old man in his sixties.
Holly's concern was completely unnecessary...
However, as the Grand Duke considered this, a chill crept into his heart. Holly was so cautious even against an unarmed old man. Did he really have a chance to avenge himself?Great power and eloquence, sufficient strength and shamelessness...
When these qualities converge in one person, the Grand Duke Lynch realized he was helpless against Holly. This realization left him deeply frustrated.
He swallowed lightly. Perhaps only a deity could deal with him!
...
"Grand Duke, what are you thinking about?" Du Ge asked, looking at the dazed Grand Duke Lynch.
"Nothing." The Grand Duke forced a fawning smile at Du Ge. "Holly, can I put on some clothes? My magic is sealed, and I'm seriously injured. I'm feeling very cold. If this continues, I might die in the Rhine River. My death would cause you a lot of trouble on your path to kingship..."
"It was my oversight." Du Ge smiled apologetically at him, snapped his fingers, and transported the Grand Duke from the Rhine River to the shore. Then, he took out a set of ordinary clothes from his storage ring.
One has to admit.
Having a storage ring is incredibly convenient.
Especially one filled with scrolls. These powerful scrolls could help him defeat any formidable enemy even when his magic power is insufficient.
Of course.
If he only used some ordinary magic, Du Ge's magic power shouldn't run out. With the Grand Duke's magic-amplifying speed equipment and the forbidden spells on the scrolls, theoretically, he could cast instantly.
But using large-scale magic too often might deplete his mental power!
In short, who would use their own reserves when they could rely on external forces?
After all, those scrolls weren't his...
Now Du Ge was considering how to awaken advanced skills and create a derivative item.
The Admonition Cane from the last Alien Star Battlefield was incredibly useful. Without it, he and his team might have died at the hands of the chaos.
...
Du Ge brought the Grand Duke Lynch back to the ducal mansion.
Xima Lynch, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came up: "Father, you..."
Then, her voice abruptly stopped, and her smile froze on her face.
There was no need to ask about the outcome. Her father's staff and storage ring had all been taken by that damned Holly.
The Grand Duke looked at his daughter, wanting to say something but stopping. Finally, he let out a deep sigh: "Xima, get ready. Soon, we need to apologize to Holly on the execution platform."
"Father, I can clear this scum's name, but I will never do it on the execution platform." Xima Lynch glared angrily at Du Ge.
"Xima, this is already the best outcome." The Grand Duke looked at Xima and sighed, "On the way back, I already discussed it with Holly. We will push all the blame onto Nelson. You discovered Prince Nelson cavorting with prostitutes. To break off the engagement with him, you made a foolish mistake and came up with a plan to frame Holly.
When you realized that Mr. Holly was an upright and noble person, your conscience was tormented. You voluntarily released Holly from the dungeon and admitted your mistake to the people. You are just a seventeen-year-old girl; the people will forgive you..."
"Father."
Xima Lynch still wanted to argue.
But the Grand Duke gave her a stern look: "Xima, do as I say, or I will personally send you to the guillotine to atone for your mistakes against Mr. Holly."
The guillotine?
Xima Lynch's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at the Grand Duke in shock: "Father, what exactly happened?"
The Grand Duke turned to look at Du Ge.
Du Ge shrugged indifferently: "Grand Duke, you can tell her our plan."
"Xima, come with me." The Grand Duke gave Xima a glance and led her to the backyard with a grim face.
Then.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Du Ge heard the Grand Duke's true evaluation of him.
"Evil god's body possession," "Only a deity can deal with him," "Before that, no matter what he does, the ducal mansion must fully cooperate with him"...
Still harboring ill intentions!
However.
A deity?
The Grand Duke's words reminded Du Ge.
In Holly's memories, this world indeed had deities.
But also in Holly's memories, these deities rarely appeared in the human world.
They spent most of their time sleeping, occasionally waking up to wander the human world, have a tryst with a follower, or deliver some divine edicts to their believers.
Most of these divine edicts were about spreading faith, more like something the followers themselves fabricated...
But Du Ge still became cautious.
This game field was going too smoothly. In just one day, without awakening any skills, he had already defeated the Grand Magus...
So, the real test was these deities?
If the opponents were deities, that would indeed be troublesome...
Du Ge had no doubt that Pan-Universal Entertainment would do something like this to increase the entertainment value.
They might have already awakened those sleeping deities.
Deicide?
Is it possible?
In the Simulation Field, Du Ge had dealt with the Sea God. His Power of Poseidon came from that Simulation Field.
But in that Simulation Field, the Sea God had fallen, and his real enemy was the Sea God's staff.
At that time.
He couldn't even handle the Sea God's daughter, who hadn't inherited the Power of Poseidon. He relied on the company's skills to turn the Sea God's staff into his private property, thus winning that Simulation Field...
A dead Sea God almost killed him. This world had a whole system of deities.
Damn it!
The game's difficulty was getting higher and higher.
He wondered if he could clear out the Alien Star warriors from other planets before the deities noticed him, thus ending this Alien Star Battlefield and avoiding interaction with those deities.
But since Pan-Universal Entertainment had sent them to such a deity-inhabited planet and reduced the battlefield quota to a thousand people, they probably wouldn't let him exploit this loophole...
If dealing with deities was inevitable, then the company's skills should be the only way out.
...
"King Holly, what are you thinking about?" Old Gao's question interrupted Du Ge's thoughts.
Take it one step at a time!
Du Ge sighed.
He had two keywords, which should allow him to awaken at least four advanced skills. It shouldn't be harder for him to survive than for others, right?
If only the Power of Faith could be brought into the Alien Star Battlefield.
Du Ge smiled: "I was thinking, is it possible for a mortal to become a deity?"
"A mortal becoming a deity?" Old Gao was stunned.
"A mortal slaying a deity would also work." Du Ge glanced at him and said, "After defeating the Grand Duke Lynch, I suddenly felt like I had no goals in life. I need greater pressure or a bigger goal to help me grow."
"King Holly, don't say such things in the future." Old Gao looked at Du Ge with a serious expression, "Deities are not to be offended. They are omniscient. If they hear your words, it will bring disaster to all of us."
