Chapter 474: Chapter 278 Six is Alright, Five is Ok Too? _2
At the same time, the gods are the ones who understand their own divine realms the best. They are capable of fully utilizing every aspect and feature of their realms. Just to take a simple example, the mere fact that water flows upstream could disorient many and affect their power.
Because of this, Negris volunteered to scout ahead. After all, it was just a projection of himself, so dying was of no consequence. Besides, it was the God of Knowledge and had the ability to understand the peculiar aspects of divine realms.
But it came as a surprise when all they saw was a regular garden and nothing more.
There were no independent rules, no forbidden defenses, no dangerous boundaries. To be honest, even if a little bunny wandered in, it wouldn’t be harmed in any way.
Could it be that the Goddess of Redemption had other, more formidable, defenses?
Negris was taken aback, thinking that he hadn’t fully grasped the Goddess of Redemption’s arrangements. He didn’t dare to allow Ange and the others to enter just yet and, so, kept on flying into the temple until he came face to face with the Goddess of Redemption seated on the Throne of Light.
“Why are you alone? Where are the others?” the Goddess of Redemption asked in confusion.
“They are outside. They didn’t dare to enter. What about you? Are you also alone?” Negris asked.
“Not exactly. I just thought it wasn’t necessary to summon them, so I didn’t bother.” With a wave of her hand, the bricks behind the Goddess of Redemption sunk and a few things crawled out.
A Lava Demon and a steel structure three meters tall, a suit of armor, and a sword all came crawling out.
Leaving aside the demon, which was just a common Great Demon, the structure turned out to be a Guardian Avatar. After it climbed out, it reached its right hand out towards Negris and then stopped moving.
The Goddess of Redemption looked very embarrassed, running over to give the construct a swift kick before reluctantly saying, “It’s out of energy. It runs on soul energy, and I can’t replenish it.”
As for the armour, it was Holy Spirit Armour, which should have been worn by a Holy Spirit Angel. But there was none, and the armour alone stood there lifelessly assembled in the shape of a human being.
The sword floated by itself with soul energy burning on its blade. A strong soul wave spread from the sword: “Give me blood...give me soul...”
The sight left Negris dumbfounded. This was not what the Goddess of Light should summon as her aids.
His reaction made the Goddess of Redemption even more embarrassed. She stammered out, “It’s not what I wanted. These are the only things in my collection that can still be activated. I told you. It’s useless to summon them.”
The Goddess of Redemption could not possibly store Holy Spirit Angels or Saintly Priestesses in her collection. The only things she could store were all these peculiar items. After over a thousand years, these four... well, actually three things are what’s still active.
“Pff...” Luna almost fell to the ground, Bada, these guys have no complex thoughts, but they hate trouble.
Everyone once again surrounded the Goddess of Redemption. Ange made a gesture and a row of explosive fireballs appeared in front of him.
The Goddess of Redemption smiled faintly and spread her arms. Behind her appeared a phantom image of a one-footed scale: “Do you recognize what this is? Hurting me is hurting yourself.”
Negris’ eyes popped out, “Equal Cross? Why do you have the Equal Cross?”
The Goddess of Redemption breathed a sigh of relief. The God of Knowledge did recognize the Equal Cross. She was afraid that others wouldn’t, the Equal Cross was used to die together, but she didn’t want to die with others.
If the other side didn’t recognize it and insisted on fighting, what’s the point of dying together? Wouldn’t she still fall?
Only when the other side recognizes this thing and knows its power can the Equal Cross have deterrent power.
“Then you should know its function. This is the redemption fee paid by the God of Balance. It can equally transfer the damage to the attacker. If you kill me, you will die too.”
When she said this, the Goddess of Redemption was looking at Ange. Among so many people present, the only one capable of killing her was Ange.
Negris made a strange expression on his face and had Ange reveal the Ring of Balance.
This time it was the Goddess of Redemption’s turn to widen her eyes: “The Ring of Balance? Why is it with you?”
“Because we killed the God of Balance. The Equal Cross is useless to us. Even the original Equal Cross of the God of Balance couldn’t stop us. You think yours will?” Negris said with a smile.
However, while saying this, his heart was a little unreliable. The God of Balance’s Equal Cross was useless, but if it was combined with the Goddess of Redemption’s damage absorption, the situation would be completely different.
Ange couldn’t kill her in one punch, he had to weaken her bit by bit. But in this way, he couldn’t use the Dragon God Transformation, because its duration was too short. It couldn’t be used when weakening her, and all the weakening would be reflected back on him.
Despite this, Negris still appeared confident. He knew the key point here, but the Goddess of Redemption didn’t. What if he scared her off?
Indeed she was scared. The Goddess of Redemption’s face fell. The Ring of Balance behind Ange was a real deal. If the Balance itself was dead, could her non-original Equal Cross work?
“How about, you give the cross to him so he can form a set, and we let you go?” Negris took the opportunity to propose.
The Goddess of Redemption’s expression was changing. In the end, she gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and activated the Evasion Boots.
