129 Departure [3]
[45,000,000,000 EXP has been gained.]
[3 Origin Power has been gained.]
Phew.
"Killing Deities became a lot easier when I got the boon from that apocalypse." I mumbled softly.
Though, I paid for my dignity and appearance to get it...
Anyways, I didn't expect that by adding the sealed [Space Authority] along with the [Moon Blessing], a special effect would be added to my <<Sword of Destruction>>.
It could actually fill the gaps between me and the Deity Realm, albeit shortly. At that moment, the level of my 'existence' are the same as theirs, thus their higher level advantage didn't work.
This made it so that my <<Sword of Destruction>> could completely affect them, just like what happened on the pocket universe.
I only instinctively used it that time and only had the chance to confirm it now...
"She actually became this strong..."
Right now, I am looking at Aria fight off three Demigods alone. As for the other Law Realms, well, they're dead.
Sparks flew out when she clashed head-one against another woman that uses a great sword.
"This is impossible! How can you reach that level..!"
"Training." Aria said as she embedded her Returning-stage Mental Power in the silver sword. Soon after, she chased after the other woman, seemingly able to clash with her at ease.
That's right, she broke through the Returning-stage back in the planet. In actuality, she already broke through the peak of Shedding-stage when she faced off against those gods.
With a little push, she managed to break through.
Thanks to it, she managed to face off against Demigods as a Peak Law Realm.
Perhaps, this is the reason why she's valued by the world? Or is it her being valued by the world that she has this talent?
"Nevermind."
To me, Aria is Aria. Nothing changes the fact that she's my lover, my other half.
As she eliminated her opponents one by one, I oddly felt some satisfaction. After all, one of her goals is to become stronger, just like me.
Her achieving that dream could also make me happy.
Boom-!
Crack-!
Swoosh-!
Using her frost sword technique, Aria briefly stunned two of the Demigods before beheading them in one go.
The only one alive is the woman that she first clashed with.
"Damn it!" I heard her mutter out some curses before taking out a strange yellow talisman with some red characters in it.
"Senior sister, I need help!"
Oho. Not on my fucking watch.
The moment she said those words, the talisman floated as it came to life, a humanoid phantom started appearing bit-by-bit from it.
Still being powered by more than 50,000% (500-fold), I used <<Sword of Destruction>> to cut the paper in half.
Clang-!
At first, it seem to have hit a protective barrier of sorts, but it soon collapsed under the might of the attack's accumulated strike.
Before it got destroyed, I sensed the silhouette look at me angrily and worded out "I'll remember you."
To that, I could only say, "You're courting death."
[4,000,000,000 EXP has been gained.]
Clink-!
The moment I sheathed Little Xue back, the space cracks that I made worsened, almost turning into something comparable to Deity Ascension tribulations, but I am responsible enough to slowly mend it with my [Space Authority].
While I did so, Aria returned back to my side.
"Sorry for the trouble."
"No worries, it's fine..."
Hearing her speak with a slightly guilty tone, I couldn't help but pat her head. Though, all I felt is the cold hard texture of the Armor.
"Don't think much about it." I held her hand as I continued, "If you encounter something like this, I'll protect you."
"Lugh..."
Just as we're about to be absorbed in our own world, the other leader spoke.
"Thank you for saving us."
He courteously bowed like a royal retainer, with his right hand on his left chest. I looked at him and remembered the thing about the star maps.
"It's alright. How about this. Do you have a star map?"
"A star map? Yes! Actually..."
He began explaining the main reason why he went to the dragons' territory even though he's a human.
Turns out, the human empire allied to the dragons sent some help to manage the chaotic borders that is being overturned by the 'Alien Invaders' right now.
Since they're about to survey the area, it is natural that they have the map of both the dragons' and the humans' star clusters.
After some talking, he gave me a white crystal condensed with mental power. This is the same trick that Master uses, albeit this one is less refined.
"Thanks for the map. Right, you can also take credit on this one." I paused for a while before continuing, "Good luck on your thing."
I bode farewell as I activated the <<36-Heavenly Constellations Steps>> once more.
This time, we finally have a destination.
*****
Once the man saw Lugh and Aria disappear, his tense nerves calmed down.
"Two people... Are they the ones mentioned to me earlier?"
Unbeknownst to the duo, their deeds had long been spread in the social circles of humans and dragons.
Their feats of escaping from 2 Main Gods (High-Rank Deity) while killing a bunch of Law Gods (Low-Rank Deity) is that shocking.
One has to know that a Main God is already the core combatants of each major forces in star clusters. Like a nuclear weapon, one big movement of theirs and several star systems will be destroyed.
"They shouldn't be them, but..."
In the end, he came to a conclusion that his saviors weren't the same person as the ones in the rumors. He gauged Lugh's power before and his final two strikes could barely be at the Advanced-stage of Law God.
There's no way they could fight off Main Gods with that kind of power.
He contemplated for a moment before making a decision.
"Everyone!"
""Ha!""
"What happened here will be kept a secret."
He made his subordinates make an Oath bound to their soul. Once broken, they will immediately be crippled, both in cultivation and in their mind.
Of course, some voiced out their complaints, but they soon stopped after the majority called them out for being ungrateful to their saviors.
"What if they get implicated by us?"
"This is our empire's matter. Not helping them out would only stain its pride!"
"Ungrateful jerks."
Hearing all of these, the man only smiled inside. He truly felt thankful that these subordinates of his weren't those nobles or else it'll definitely become troublesome.
"Cease! I'm glad that everyone can come to an understanding, but we must report what happened here first."
They soon left the area and headed to one of their stations, whereas they could communicate in long-distances with their chain of command.
