Chapter 298: God of Light, Goddess of Radiance

There are many types of spirits, the Death Phenomenon Spirit representing 【Death】, the High Spirit representing 【Heritage】. Though they lack substance and inherent concepts, they respond to the prayers of the worthy, bestowing their blessings.

【Light】 is a law that does not exist in the world, so concepts like the God of Light and the Light Spirit should not exist.

However, the God of 【Subversion and Anti-Reason】 created the 【Blood of the Cross】 with His power, subverting the common logic that the law of 【Light】 could not exist. Through the faith of countless followers over three hundred years, a new【Reversed Law】 was born.

Unable to become a true deity, yet having transformed into a divine spark.

Thus, the prototype of the God of Light— the Light Spirit.

At this moment, it responded to the call.

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”

A surging beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping the young man in simple clothing.

What kind of transformation would occur when a demigod-level strongman, already at the limits beneath a deity, received the attachment of a 【Spirit】 imbued with divine spark?

The answer to this question had already unfolded before Miss Vilyric.

“This is looking quite decent now…”

As the black-haired girl murmured this, the youth bathed in light opened his eyes once more.

His gray short hair was dyed with the hue of light, extending and reflecting the divine patterns in his golden gaze, bursting forth with unprecedented divinity and pressure, as if a halo rose behind him, proclaiming to all that exists before him.

An existence named 【God】 had already manifested into substance and reality.

【So this is… true divine power.】

Min Chen… no, currently, such a title no longer does justice to his existence.

With a demigod’s body, combined with the Light Spirit, he was already godlike in every sense. Perhaps this state could not be maintained forever, but at this moment, he was truly the 【God of Light】.

The deity raised his palm, golden light constructing a crystal-like, glamorous and radiant armor around his body, just a single move brought the weight of reality, as if commanding the heavens and earth, bearing down oppressive force towards his enemies.

However, the girl remained utterly still.

【Even so, you cannot erase me… Xī, you are indeed a deity.】

As if mixing Min Chen’s will with that of Light, he spoke indifferently, and a long blade, far more splendid than the weapon held by a half-demon, appeared in his grasp.

【Then let me, try the knife.】

“Oh? Have you formed a law-class artifact just like that? It seems your God of Light spark is indeed nearing maturity…”

“Zheng!”

The God of Light made no pretense, but the next moment, he had instantly crossed the vast distance, appearing right before the black-haired girl, striking down at her neck!

The speed of this blade was at least five times faster than when Min Chen was a demigod!

Miss White Fox tilted her head, the blade’s light just barely grazing past her in a critical moment, cutting off a few strands of her snow-white hair.

She furrowed her brow slightly, casually catching the fallen hair in her palm, but the God of Light’s attack did not cease. The long blade’s momentum was relentless, and the halo behind him erupted with countless golden arcs of light, transforming into numerous arrows, striking fiercely like a viper!

“Dingling ~”

A sound like a bell rang out, as if instantaneously putting the surrounding scene on hold, even the form of the God of Light and the myriad rays of light behind him came to a momentary, seemingly prolonged pause.

Then, Miss White Fox’s figure dissipated like a bubble, reappearing a hundred meters away.

【……】

Seemingly puzzled by what had just transpired, the God of Light looked down at his empty hand that was not holding a blade and quickly exclaimed in realization.

【I see, the blessing of space, could there be other deities interfering in this battle… no, is it reserved power?】

He quickly concluded his musing and glanced back at the black-haired girl who had never countered.

【Xī, it’s strange. Apart from the initial overwhelming force and physical strength suppression, throughout all this time, you have only been utilizing that gem for combat, performing little more than mana infusion and a degree of interference…】

【Let me guess, you… at this level, aren’t actually the combat type, are you?】

“……Ha.”

The strands of hair cut from her palm transformed into light and dissipated, reintegrating into Miss White Fox’s body. She sighed faintly, shaking her head in resignation.

“After becoming Lord God, your perception is indeed different. Though I find communicating with a temporary being made from Min Chen’s template, who lacks self-awareness, a waste of time… but you’re correct.”

“Xī is indeed not adept at combat. It’s one thing to bully the little fish, but facing a true opponent above the level of a deity, right in the home turf of the divine realm, relying solely on this attire and a single piece of equipment does feel a bit inadequate.”

The deity nodded slightly, though there was no hint of change in his tone.

【I see, it seems you didn’t expect Min Chen to have such a backup, but unfortunately, this form’s mission is to defeat you, so I will not show mercy.】

As if to prove this fact, the moment the words left his lips, the halo behind the God of Light surged once more, crossing the hundred meters, a mere blink for a deity, and suddenly launched at her!

“Boomboomboomboomboomboom!!!!!!”

The all-encompassing shield constructed by the Demonic God’s gem immediately blocked it, but the strength of a deity and that of a demigod could hardly be compared; in just a few seconds, the【Demonic Source Barrier】, under the bombardment of golden light like a violent storm, was riddled with cracks, on the brink of collapse.

Even though this was merely an illusion before the explosion of the shield, Vilyric did not believe that such an attack could truly harm Min Chen, who had already transformed into the God of Light. Furthermore, the Demonic God’s gem, despite being so-called origin artifact, also had skill usage cooldowns.

Thinking of defeating a true god with just a single piece of equipment was indeed unrealistic…

Although there were still trump cards yet to be used, bringing them all out wouldn’t make it impossible to contend with the opponent.

But…

“Let’s call this trial enough; to be honest, I’m starting to get a bit tired of this restrained feeling.”

“Boom!!!!!!!”

The magic source barrier, charged with energy, exploded outward from all directions, instantaneously pushing back the never-ending incoming halo, but the divine power was boundless, plus, it had been prepared. The shards of magic energy shooting out couldn’t even reach the God of Light before being completely consumed by the surging halo.

The light spiraled back, transforming into a massive, swirling serpent, rushing toward the defenseless black-haired girl!

And within this space of no escape, she barely had time, and could only make one move.

It was something that even the God of Light did not expect, and could not comprehend, but this confusion would last merely a fleeting moment.

The girl gently removed the white fox mask from her face, her voice echoing in the space.

“I say, let there be light ~”

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next instant, the brilliance of the halo engulfed the figure of the black-haired girl completely.
