Chapter 1161 A Divine Showdown
Chapter 1161 A Divine Showdown
(Iris POV)
The sacks of flesh above us were still hesitating on what to do after I revealed that I knew their actions from the start.
I admit that before this, I did not think they would go as far as trying to confront us directly and only thought they were doing all that as a precaution against us.
It was only when Master suggested the possibility of them trying to capture us did I realise that these little excuses of existences could really think to attempt such a nonsensical thing.
Had Master not pointed this out, I would not have even thought about such a possibility.
It seems like I still have much to learn from Master since He had managed to figure this out even without using His Omniscience while I still had to rely on it.
Fufufu~ Even after so long, I am still learning so many things from Master~
"Mama… Bad men?" Cai Hong asked.
"Ara, ara? They are bad men indeed, Cai Hong~ They wanted to bully Master~"
"Bully Papa? Bad men! Papa no bully!"
Ara? Looks like the little dragon is actually angry~
I reached out to pat her head, showing her that it wasn't her turn yet. I was just starting to have my fun with these little pieces of trash after all~
The trash who calls himself the patriarch pointed a finger at me, "You're bluffing! This trap specifically targets any beings that are Divine in nature! Even if you are above the Gods, you still possess Divinity so you should be affected as well!"
"Ufufufu~ Did you not ask your little ancestor what kind of being I am? I am more than just someone who possesses a little bit more Divinity than the Gods of your World, you know? Did you not find it strange that your little ancestor refused to be a part of this despite being invited to?"
"Of course it's obvious that this is beneath our great ancestor's notice! We can easily deal with something like this ourselves!"
"Ara? Really? Does it still look easy to you now?"
The little patriarch trash clenched his teeth in annoyance at my question, "All formation masters! Activate the second stage!"
A few of the moving sacks of flesh levitated forward and raised their hands, causing more rocks to drop around the courtyard.
These rocks had more weird carvings on them and were glowing with a multitude of different colours this time.
They then made some weird hand signs which caused the rocks to glow even brighter before multicoloured threads shot out from the top of the rocks towards us.
I watched the threads approach me with interest, wondering what exactly they would do without relying on my Omniscience to tell me.
My initial assessment was to bind me and it seemed like I was right as the threads wrapped themselves around my wrists and ankles, although they seem to have decided to ignore little Cai Hong. Most likely they thought the little one was of no threat to them.
"Haha! We got you now! This trap is synced according to the strength of your Divinity! There's no God that can break out of this!"
I looked down at the threads, testing the tension on them by moving my arms slightly.
Ara? Is this really supposed to restrain me? Because they all look so flimsy.
Deciding to put it to the test, I pulled my hand towards my chest a little harder and a loud snap reverberated through the courtyard.
"Ara? It seems like you may have used the wrong threads~" I giggled, holding up my hand to show the threads flaking away from my wrist.<.com>
Just to show that it wasn't an illusion, I pulled my other hand and also my feet, snapping the other threads in the process.
The little patriarch's eyes went wide, "This… This isn't possible! They should hold the exact same strength as your level of Divinity! The only way that you can break them that easily… Ah! I see now! You're just a mortal hired as a body double aren't you?! The real ones are somewhere else!"
I smiled at him, "I can very much assure you that I am the real one~ Although Master is not here since none of you are worth His time~"
"Haha! Nice try, mortal trash! Everyone! Spread out and find them! They must be affected by the formation and are hiding somewhere around here! Flush them out!"
"Ara, ara? There's no reason for me to lie, you know? Here~"
I waved my hand at them and Ended their ability to move away from their current location.
The sacks of flesh tried to obey the big idiot, only to find themselves stuck to the spot.
"Ufufufu~ Is this enough to make you believe me now?" I asked with as much fake innocence as I usually would to things like this.
His eyes widened as he finally believed me, "H… How?! Why isn't this working on you?"
"Ufufufu~ This 'divinity' you speak of, I have none of it because I do not need it~ I am created by Master to be the End of this Universe. I am not just some God, you see~"
I then went to pat Cai hong's head, "This little one here, however, is definitely a Divine though~ Are you at least aware of Myriad Colours Dragons?"
He narrowed his eyes, "You're not suggesting that she is one of those legendary cosmic Dragons, are you?"
I smiled, "Ara? I'm actually surprised that you know about them~ But yes, that's exactly what I'm saying~"
All of the trash looked at the little dragon beside me, showing an expression that clearly said that they didn't believe a little thing like Cai Hong could be one of those Dragons.
??Cai Hong looked up at me, "Cai Hong eat bad men?"
"Ufufufu~ Go ahead~ But make sure to inflict the most pain ok?"
"Okies~ Cai Hong will rip and tear bad men!" Cai Hong giggled before her body glowed blue.
She then expanded in size before her body transformed to her real form, letting out a roar that petrified everyone there.
"For you little pieces of trash that dare to try and hurt Father… I'll make sure you suffer!!"
Before she could start tearing into them however, the little patriarch guy spoke up, "Wait! Wait! I invoke my right of challenge!!"
Cai Hong stopped and turned back to look at me.
I tilted my head, "Ara? What right of challenge?"
"The right for a mortal to challenge a Divine! I challenge you to a Divine Showdown!! You have to accept it as it's our right!"
…
Ufufufu~ These mortals are really interesting indeed~
