Chapter 929 Finally
?"Fenrir, his body is just a diversion!" Lex stated through his spirit sense. "Instead of attacking him, look for the item!"
No matter what, Ra would definitely interfere with their search. After all, if the deity had gone through so much pain and effort just to distract them, he was either plotting something sinister or was incredibly weak at the moment.
Regardless of whichever one it was, they could not afford to wait. The only thing in their favor at the moment was the fact that the item itself was probably not so far from them. After all, it had to maintain its control over the body made from energy, as well as its numerous techniques.
Between the two of them, Fenrir was more likely to succeed because he could somehow make Ra forget about him. Lex's plan was to search for the item, but most attract Ra's attention while he searched, so Fenrir could investigate freely.
"COME BACK HERE!" Ra roared, having realized that his ploy had been seen through. While Lex looked severely injured, Ra was not any better, either. His body could continuously heal using the corrupted divine energy, but the more of it he used, the less he had in reserve. That meant Ra's body was continuously decreasing in size! By now, after its previous vicious beating, its body was barely larger than Lex's!
Lex, of course, had no interest in obeying Ra, so the miniature deity chased after him. But a game of tag with someone who could use Blink was bound to yield no results. Using his left eye and spirit sense, Lex scanned his surroundings before teleporting away. The first thing he investigated was the strange metal pipe Ra had been holding.
He had appeared to be siphoning energy away from it, but Lex dared not overlook anything. But it was too obvious, and there was no sign of any ceremonial item nearby.
He teleported again and again, overturning even random rubble on the floor lest the item be hidden underneath.
"I don't know, so why don't you tell me," Lex said, stabbing Ra again in his puny back.
"IT'S A KARMIC LAW! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? A LAW! THE INNKEEPERS ATTACK HAS BECOME A PART OF THE ORIGIN REALMS LAW, AND WILL TARGET ME FOR ALL ETERNITY!"
Ra reached a point where he could no longer take it. Earlier or, he had been somewhat pretending to lose his anger to keep Lex occupied, but now he really was losing his anger. Ever since he fell, he lost control of his emotions more and more easily. It made it difficult to get anything done.
But right now, Ra no longer even cared. In his eyes, all that mattered right now was killing Lex! He even discarded his original plan, just to kill him!
Ra clenched his fists, summoning forth a massive amount of corrupted divine energy, nearly destabilizing his body's structure.
He was waiting... waiting for Lex to stab him, and then his body would explode. It would be a waste, but it was impossible to survive a divinity explosion and remain uninjured.
Ra did not let on he was waiting, and made it seem like he was casting a technique. Just as he expected, the sensation of sharpness finally arrived.
But the baby Ra's expression changed. He was all too familiar with this feeling. It wasn't the knife, but the teeth of an accursed wolf! Moreover, he wasn't biting his neck this time but...
Ra opened his mouth to scream, but his already destabilized body dispersed.
Lex Blinked over to Fenrir and found him biting an eagle feather. Fortunately, he had not crushed it yet.
