Never in her wildest dreams would she have expected that the first thing the god would say to her was this sentence—
“Fight for as my warrior!”
Beside his feet, the tiny human figure raised her head and looked at him square in the eyes.
“Rejoice. As the one and only True God in this universe, I will now bestow upon you the honor to serve .” The god’s eyes rolled around and stared at her. “From now on, you will be my vanguard. You will—”
The god did not have a chance to finish his sentence. He yelled out in pain.
He staggered to his feet, but lost his balance and crashed into a copse of trees from the sudden attack. A soap sprang away from his knee, disappearing into the great forest. The god hugged his knee and hissed in pain. He looked around nervously when, suddenly, sothing clicked in his mind. He brought his face close to Lin Sanjiu and said, “No, no, this can’t be... How can you use a god’s power?”
His roar was so loud that Lin Sanjiu’s ears went numb, but she couldn’t run. She just stood there as stiff as a ramrod. Her heart rate got faster and faster. Through the attack she had thrown at the god just now, she found a loophole in the God’s divine power, and she cursed herself for not realizing it sooner. If only she had bore the thought of killing him rather than running away, she could have launched an attack on him!
Her happiness was short-lived as the brown lipped god moved his hand away from his knee.
The attack of a Divine Power Level 11 was strong enough to mutilate the skin on his knee, but that was the maximum amount of damage she managed to inflict on him. Very soon, the god got back to his feet, looking barely scathed. He then knelt on one knee, glaring at Lin Sanjiu with his two dark eyes.
“Answer , answer your one and only True God... How did you co to possess the divine power of a god?”
Lin Sanjiu did not answer. She was too busy thinking about what kind of attack she should use next.
It would have perhaps been a good deterrent if she were to tell him that she could absorb a God’s divine power. But on second thought, he might use his sacred sound to prevent her from attacking... Suddenly, Lin Sanjiu ca to a ntal halt.
She raised her head and t gazes with the large face in the sky. The area was now a complete ss—most of the trees had fallen down, and so of the ground was leveled. It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to describe this area as a wasteland. And right now, this god was standing in the middle of the wasteland, looking at her. A smile ford on her lips as she said, “...Why don’t you use your divine power?”
The god did not reply. He continued to look fixedly at her, his two black scleras were so large that they almost entirely occupied his eyes.
“Your divine power is convenient. You can prevent from running away by just commanding not to run. Since it’s so versatile, why don’t you use it to order to answer your question? Or even better, you can use it to turn into one of your obedient warriors. Perhaps, you can even use it to make other gods acknowledge that you are the one and only True God—”
“Silence! The will of a True God is nothing you mortals could comprehend!” The brown lipped god’s roar sounded like thunder. “This is an order from a True God! If you refuse to obey my will, I will destroy you!”
“Well, go on. You better do it now,” Lin Sanjiu said, returning the god with a resolute stare. Actually, she was extrely nervous; her heart pounded fiercely beneath her ribcage, but she had to force a smile on her face to hide her nervousness. The actress in her took the stage as she crossed her arms in front of her breasts and said, “Did you not want to know where my divine powers ca from? Let tell you, I took it from Crocodile. He threw an attack at , I absorbed it... If you don’t believe it, you can try it out yourself. But first, let thank you for your kind contribution.”
Of course, she would not be able to absorb an attack that exceeded her maximum power output, but the brown lipped god did not know about this. He was stunned for a while before his eyes lit up. He stared at her in hesitation as apprehension slowly crawled upon his large countenance.
Lin Sanjiu stood on the ground, unable to move due to the effect of the sacred sound the god had cast on her. However, her fear began to abate as curiosity slowly rose from the depths of her heart. She wondered why the god refused to use such a powerful ability again.
“You can’t hurt ,” the god finally opened his mouth after a long while.
Lin Sanjiu could sense a hint of hesitation in his voice. He slowly leaned his body towards her, causing so of the trees to bend down and the tree leaves to rustle. Amid the noises, his voice ca. “...Nor can you escape from . Since you can do neither, why don’t you just stay here and fight for your one and only True God? Your ability to absorb Gods’ divine powers could be of good use to , and with that, I can secure your safety.”
“Likewise, you can’t hurt . So I don’t need your promise to keep safe—”
The god huffed through his nose, sending a hot, humid puff of air that disheveled Lin Sanjiu’s hair. She knew her opposition did not quite agree with her statent, so she quickly added, “The reason you were able to capture was that I was injured at that ti. But since I’m on the ground now, it won’t be easy to catch . You can try it if you don’t believe .”
The god did not move, simply looking at her with a confused expression.
Shrugging, Lin Sanjiu continued to speak as her confidence mounted. “Anyway, it’s not a big deal to . After all, I can keep you accompanied until you are slain by other gods. Then, I’ll be free.”
The god did not reply.
The large face in the sky stared down at the small face on the ground. Neither of them could do anything to the other, nor did they spoke.
After a long while, the god was the first one of the two to lose his composure. “Tell . Of what accordance would you fight for as my warrior?”
“Tell the truth, and I will consider. Why do you insist on making your warrior? How about the duoluozhong? Aren’t they your all-ti favorite?”
The god was a little bit frustrated. He had never imagined that as the one and only True God, he would have to negotiate with a human being so low in status that even an ant was better than her species. He pondered for a while and lowered his face even further. “... Are you talking about those wretched creatures? They are so weak. They can do nothing to other gods aside from giving them so scratches in a fight, though I cannot ignore the fact that they are pretty useful in managing territory. anwhile, people like you, although most of your species is inept, a minor group of you are pretty useful.”
“That’s because you have no idea that I can only absorb, at most, level 11 Divine Power...”
It was only natural that Lin Sanjiu would never tell the god about this weakness in her ability. Just when she was thinking about sothing, the god continued talking. “...For instance, your ability to absorb divine power. I think it could co in handy in so situations, so you’re worthy enough to be my warrior. Maybe you’re still inferior to the warrior of Sanduria, the Desert Goddess, but never mind. I have nothing but ti. After all, I am the one and only True—”
“Wait a sec. Rewind a little bit—What did you say?” Lin Sanjiu asked.
“I’m the one and only True God.”
“No, not this. About the warrior of S—Sa—Sanduria. What is the matter with him?”
“Sanduria is a false god!” growled the god, an expressionless look dawning on his face “...If it weren’t for her warrior, she would never stand a chance against . She would never be able to steal my idols away.”
“So are there Gods out there who have ford an alliance with posthumans?”
The thought surfaced in her mind, stunning her.
Ever since she landed in Salvation of God, she had been trapped in a situation where she kept being hunted by gods. She never imagined that sobody would actually have resorted to allying with gods to free themselves from being captured. It was just that this thod required specific requirents. At the very least, she had to be more powerful than so of the gods.
As such, Lin Sanjiu must not let the god in front of her know that she could only absorb level 11 Divine Power at most. She nodded and asked another question, “Why don’t you use your sacred word on Sanduria? Or perhaps, her warrior?”
The god stared at her for a good while, sighing. “Well, it’s not that I don’t want to, but my ability, it was broken from the mont I found it. Its power is great, no doubt. But I can only use it once against a target who doesn’t know about my ability. Once the target cos to know about my ability, it won’t affect them anymore. Sanduria knows about my ability, so I can’t use it on her.”
He rolled his eyes again and looked straight at Lin Sanjiu. “But rest assured, I will not cast another sacred sound on you, as the second effect will overwrite the first effect.”
Every ti he answered a question, more questions ca up.
Squinting her eyes, Lin Sanjiu put the thing about the sacred sound aside. “You say you found your ability? That ans it was not yours from the beginning?”
Curling his lips, the god did not reply. He stood up slowly, the crushed trees and vines dropping from his lap. Then his voice rang out again, “An ant should do what an ant should do; stop poking your nose into the affairs of gods. Now answer , will you beco my warrior?”
Of course, Lin Sanjiu was not willing to beco his warrior.
But after a short mont of contemplation, she raised her head to et the god’s gaze and smiled. “I can be your warrior, but I have a condition.”
“You are graced with the honor to serve the one and only True God. What else do you—”
“Now I have two,” Lin Sanjiu interrupted. She continued to speak, ignoring the fact that the god might not hear her. “First, stop repeating that True God bullshit.”
“You—”
“Second,” she raised her voice, “You have to bring to a place.”
“Where to?” The god’s fury abated as soon as it was raised. It seed that the anger he presented was nothing but a front.
“A desert.” Lin Sanjiu faced difficulties in describing the desert, as she had no idea where it was. She could only try to explain it the best she could. “It is situated next to a mountain. It’s very large... and there is a forest at the edge. I want to go to the boundary between the desert and the forest. My friend is over there. If we can find him, you will gain another warrior. What do you think? Do you know where that desert is?”
Her last words were laced with hope.
The god pouted, “I do know of a few deserts.” He lowered his body and placed his palm on the ground. “Hop on. I know that there is a desert sowhere around here... But if I recall correctly, there is a god there.”
