Chapter 158: The Supreme God Without a Divine Spark

Miss Vilyric, the instigator of everything happening in the city, was utterly oblivious.

Perhaps it was because so many events unfolded that she inadvertently forgot the significance of tossing this lotus flower, which was the 10th-level magic core, into the spotlight of the sky.

In any case, this meant that the city below should be fine, allowing her to focus on dealing with that Earth Mother Goddess.

【Xi Fu Lin, hey, hey! Wake up, what are you daydreaming about?】

After a few slaps to the unmoving stone statue’s head, the voice of the former Miss God emerged somewhat awkwardly.

【Vilyric, you and that Xiao Guang, are actually that strong? Not only can you face the Supreme God directly, but this barrier of forbidden spells would have taken a lot of effort for me even at my peak. How did you…】

Hmm?

Hadn’t she already used it once before?

The Priestess seemed to blank out for a moment and then remembered that before Xi Fu Lin awakened, she had been in a state of complete sensory isolation. This was probably the first time she was seeing Vilyric use 10th-level magic.

【So didn’t I say to leave it to me? By the way, what was I really like in your mind before?】

【Well… just an ordinary demigod who reached the divine tier but lacks a divine spark? After all, if you were a true god, you shouldn’t be unable to apply your divine soul, right? And…】

【Hmm? And what?】

【Cough, this is a long story, let’s discuss the main point first. That Miss Xiao Guang is still fighting against the withering, so we should hurry and help her.】

It seemed that although Xi Fu Lin had a high assessment of Little Dragon Daughter’s strength, it wasn’t complete, or she believed Xi Fu had some trump card to turn the tides. Vilyric didn’t correct her and went along with the topic.

【Don’t worry, I’m keeping an eye on it. By the way, once we defeat that Xi Fu, how should we handle her? Should we just kill her?】

【Impossible, the essence of the divine spark is eternal and indestructible. Even if you wipe out this Xi Fu, she’ll quickly give birth to a new consciousness, which is meaningless. The best solution is to seal her.】

Although hesitant, Xi Fu Lin still cautiously requested.

【Vilyric, if we win against the withering, can I have a talk with her? This whole situation feels a bit strange, you know? Actually, the divine spark in the Book of No Words…】

「Boom！！！」

An explosion louder than any before rang out through the sky, interrupting Xi Fu Lin’s words as she immediately fell into a state of alert.

Those two clashing beams of platinum and gray light high in the sky seemed to have temporarily established a hierarchy with that strike.

The gray meteor uncontrollably plummeted downwards, while the platinum light surged forward, colliding repeatedly in mid-air and growing even brighter!

【Alright, let’s head back for now.】

【Yes!】

With a thought, Vilyric called for her pet through the contract, and the platinum light immediately halted its pursuit, rushing towards the black-haired girl and quickly returning to the Priestess’s side.

The little dragon daughter, reappearing, displayed a state and attire that were starkly different from her usual self.

Smooth, splendidly shimmering platinum-scaled armor covered the upper half of the girl’s body, even her fingers wrapped in claw-like gauntlets, with a dragon-patterned magic emblem embedded in her brow, while her golden hair billowed behind her.

Long, lovely legs extended from her white battle skirt, and blade-like boots stretched up towards her knees; two majestic dragon horns crackled with energy, and her hefty dragon tail was more than twice its usual length, resembling a sharp lance trailing behind her.

「You even pulled out your fusion form, it seems you’re quite pleased with this opponent, huh?」

Without any reservations, Vilyric patted the Valkyrie-like girl’s head, and the Giant Dragon Miss squinted her eyes, nodding repeatedly.

「Yes, master, she’s quite impressive! Though I’m stronger, she’s worth going all out!」

The fusion form is a special battle stance of Xiao Guang, unique to the dragon race. Typically, a giant dragon would experience a reduction in combat power after transforming into a humanoid form, requiring a return to their true form to unleash their real powerful tricks.

However, this fusion form, apparently unique to holy crystal dragons, can cleverly convert the boost from the dragon form into an armored state, enabling the little dragon daughter to exhibit a strength that even surpasses her true form.

She would only deploy such a capability when facing an enemy worthy of serious consideration.

The master and pet were casually chatting without any tension, while the Goddess, having been knocked down from the sky by the little dragon daughter, finally made her way back to them.

She appeared far more disheveled than at first; her gown, likely made from divine power, was tattered, and there was a smudge of golden-gray blood at the corner of her mouth. Even the artifact called the 【Flower of Withering】 had dimmed in brightness, forming a stark contrast with the proud and vigorous little dragon daughter.

At that moment, she stared uncertainly at the two girls standing together.

「Oh my, you dare to come back on your own? The Goddess is indeed something else, what, are you feeling offended?」

Xi Fu frowned tightly, her gaze shifting back and forth between the fusion-formed Giant Dragon Miss and Vilyric, occasionally glancing down at the expansive, magnificent barrier she had managed to form, which was so grand that even she, now somewhat restored with divine power, found hard to believe.

「Supreme God… how is this possible? There’s no Dragon God rank among the Supreme Gods, and you plainly don’t possess a divine spark. Why do you have Supreme God-level power?!」

Xi Fu Lin’s earlier words suddenly resurfaced in her mind, and Vilyric, having completely taken control of the situation, wasn’t in a hurry to act but instead decided to probe.

「Who said you can’t be a Supreme God without a divine spark? That’s your ignorance; this world is vast.」

「My ignorance…? Ha, hahaha… you dare say I’m ignorant? I’ve existed for tens of thousands of years, having been around since before life was born in this world! And you, little girl, what’s your background?!」

Throwing her head back in laughter, Xi Fu seemed to suddenly grasp something and gradually became colder.

「Oh? That was fast; I didn’t expect that as soon as I returned to the divine level, the malice of the world would descend immediately. Looks like it was already prepared…」

「I said how could a being above divine rank suddenly show up in this world? A Supreme God without a divine spark… haha, hahaha, what a force of the world, what a rejection! Hahahahahahaha！！！！」

What on earth is this creature rambling on about while laughing and crying? Is it that she’s met with incomprehensible circumstances, can’t win, and has started spinning some chaotic interpretations?

Vilyric and her pet exchanged glances. Just as she was about to say something else, the Goddess reportedly blurted out suddenly.

「You two aren’t creatures of this world, are you?」

「Hmm…?」

Vilyric felt a chill down her spine.

If she could dismiss earlier notions that the Priestess was just overwhelmed and going crazy, this statement hit her right in the heart.

Because what she said was indeed correct.
