Chapter 375 The Confined Divinity

“Tch! So that thing has that up its sleeve!” Watching as the battle spiraled uncontrollably from bad to worse, the usually elegant and nonchalant Edward could not help cursing in frustration.

“Don’t panic! It’s not like we can’t do anything yet!”

Beside him, Princess Leah calmed him while reminding him, “If even you start to fluster, the other Players definitely can’t work together effectively.”

Indeed, while it was true that the Players had no limits to their morale, they were loose like a clump of sand without a singular command structure.

And if they could not organize themselves, they were certainly no threat against the behemoth that was the Mecha Giant.

“Sorry, I lost my composure.”

Thanks to Leah’s words, Edward calmed slightly and began to rack his brains to come up with something that could resolve the present disadvantageous situation. From the looks of the melted ground, the mana beam of the Mecha Giant must have converted mana into heat as an attack, unlike the pure mana devastation that the Pyrocrystal Cannons unleashed.

‘Why would the Mecha Giant not attack like that before? Why did it only unleash it just now?”

‘Could it have been underestimating before, believing that using such an attack on ants like us was being extravagant?’

Just like how no one would strike a mosquito with a Presence of Mind plus Fireball combo, a wave of hand would be enough against such a thing that could not even be considered an enemy.

Still, Edward soon eliminated that possibility. ‘Wrong. This thing doesn’t have self-awareness, just as it wouldn’t belittle or underestimate foes, or it would not have fallen to our trap so easily just now... Perhaps it would only attack with the mana beam when it was rendered immobile thanks to the movement module it has.’

‘Considering how powerful the mana beam is and how the Mecha Giant doesn’t use it all that much, the beam must take a huge toll on it!’

Edward still remembered how the Players worked together to attack the tortoise colossus, only to barely scratch it after half a day. If the old man calling himself Eleena’s grandfather did not blow up Crookes that stood over the tortoise’s back, the Players might still be locked in battle against the colossus.

And yet, the Mecha Giant just now merely shot one hot beam and managed to cut down a huge chunk of the tortoise colossus’s durability. The devastation was clearly horrific, but generally speaking, energy attacks such as beam or spells would always be proportional in cost to effect.

‘The Mecha Giant would not usually use the beam because it costs a lot, and only unleashes it when it is constrained... now that makes sense!”

With that being the case, what they have to do now was clear.

“Inform the other players to ready up fire-resistance potions and have Clerics buff the tanks with fire-evasion blessings. And check if Mister Marni is revived! If he is, get him to head toward the other direction of the tortoise colossus to check if he could draw the Mecha Giant’s attack!”

Having regained calmness, Edward primly issued new orders.

Either way, any ideas to buy time was enough, and as long as his theory was right, there was a limit to how many times the Mecha Giant could use its beam. They just had to endure until the behemoth used up its ammunition, enters cooldown, and then the Players’ chance to win would increase greatly! And yet, before the tank Players could get into position, the Mecha Giant had unleashed another orange-red mana beam from underneath the pit once more, and it streaked toward the still tortoise colossus once more!

“Oh no!”

Edward’s heart sank.

The first beam had knocked off much of the tortoise colossus’s durability. If this hits it again, its durability might drop beneath the quest requirement, and everyone would have to face the music of a failed quest...

Nonetheless, it was all too late.

Edward could only watch as the beam bounded away from beneath the earth, shooting over the Players’ head toward the tortoise colossus!

And yet, just as the beam was about to hit the tortoise colossus, a white radiant screen suddenly appeared and bluntly intercepted the beam that the Mecha Giant fired! Though cracks were appearing all over the screen, it eventually succeeded in withstanding the blast and saved the colossus.

“It’s Eleena! Eleena is still there!” Edward understood what happened after blanking out for the moment.

After all, the first strike of the Mecha Giant had come too sudden. Eleena just couldn’t have imagined that it could snipe the tortoise colossus from such a distant pit, and caught unawares, she allowed the tortoise colossus to eat the beam in full force.

But having now prepared, Eleena directly stopped the enemy’s second strike!

Although much of Eleena’s mana was consumed in a single stroke, it still counted as a success.

And it wasn’t just Edward—the other Players had immediately become excited, feeling as if they had caught the wind in their sails...

If the tiny Saintess could do it, we wouldn’t fall too short!

Hence, the Players rallied their courage, assuming their respective roles under Edward’s command to buy more time for the God of Games.

“Not bad.”

With his Divine Eye, Xi Wei got an idea of what was happening in the mortal realm and could not help being pleased with his choice of followers.

“And I almost have an idea bout the divinity hidden in the Eternal Archives...”

After so long, Xi Wei finally broke through the high elves’ restraints in the Eternal Archives and reached the divinity inside.

Though absorbing it would take some time, Xi Wei could see some records that remained in the divinity despite the brief contact.

It was a divinity belonging to Ogayo, the God of Flowers and Fertile Earth.

Interestingly, the divinity had yet to vanish, meaning that there was no new God of Flowers and Fertile Ground in the current era. Therefore, instead of saying that the high elves had stolen a god’s divinity, it was more that they had confined that divinity.

“Whatever that case may be, this thing is now mine.” Xi Wei took the divinity with him, ready to absorb it when he had the time.

While the God of Flowers and Fertile Ground was a lesser god and completely absorbing it wouldn’t ascend him into a greater god, it could be considered a great supplement. Heaven knows when the Fourth Divine War would blow up, and having substantial divine power to strengthen his foundation was already good enough. And from the looks of the Divine Order of that divinity, its Authority would help Xi Wei with his shortcoming of ‘farming’. “But before time, it’s time I make a move,” Xi Wei said, flexing his tentacles. “Or my believers would all die out...”
