Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 944: Chapter 399: Divinity Really Is Handy (3)

However, if it were Xavier, he wouldn’t have had a chance to fire.

In the mist, Olivia was contemplating the extent of the damage the Peace Envoy might have suffered, when a voice emerged from the surrounding fog.

”Your Majesty the Queen, why don’t you awaken your divinity like Xavier?”

Olivia’s heart sank. Wu Chang’s voice didn’t sound heavily injured; she glanced around to find Wu Chang’s whereabouts while responding:

”With your ability, you should know that the steam rules brought by the extraordinary steam engine have been tampered with, containing other things, they can only be used and not merged; otherwise, they’ll become puppets in the hands of those gods.”

”And I’m the King of Stilan; a monarch doesn’t need divinity; what is needed is humanity.”

Wu Chang’s voice came again, ”Your Majesty, don’t you want to become a god?”

Olivia shook her head and said, ”Before fulfilling the promise with Julie, I have no interest in becoming a god.”

Whoo~

A gust of wind blew, dispersing the thick steam. As Olivia’s vision partially recovered, she was surprised to find that Wu Chang, piloting the Peace Envoy, was now ten meters in front of the lion-shaped mechanical beast.

The Peace Envoy was holding a gun that she had never seen before, aiming at the chest of the lion-shaped mechanical beast.

Wu Chang said, ”Unfortunately, the path was wrong.”

With that, he pulled the trigger.

Olivia’s pupils contracted, and she quickly maneuvered the lion-shaped mechanical beast, linking the Heart of the Land, Heart of the Ocean, and Heart of the Sky, all three vehicle-type extraordinary steam engine cores having defensive capabilities.

The triple defenses stacked together, forming an incredibly strong defense.

Worried about insufficient defense, she also formed a shield on the surface of the lion-shaped mechanical beast with her steam rules, which was the maximum defense she could muster.

Unfortunately, Olivia had not gathered divinity, but the Peace Envoy now had divinity within.

The maximum defense she used, like the maximum offensive power she could use, was insignificant in the face of divinity.

Wu Chang used 5 points of divinity-converted attack, effortlessly penetrating the joint defense of the land, sea, and sky hearts, and pierced through Olivia’s steam rules.

There was no sound, no explosion, just a flash of light, and half the body of the lion-shaped mechanical beast, plus a wing, vanished in the divinity-infused attack.

The next moment, the damaged lion-shaped mechanical beast began to tumble awkwardly towards the ground.

Boom!

The lion-shaped mechanical beast fell from nearly a thousand meters high, crashing into the ground and turning into a pile of scrap metal.

Although Olivia managed to escape in time using the steam rules, the plan she wanted to complete was already declared over.

She looked at the ruins on the ground, her eyes dazed.

It was as if she had lost something important, yet felt like she was freed from a heavy shackle; she stood still, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

Wu Chang piloted the Peace Envoy to descend slowly; he made no further attack on Olivia.

After all, there was no mortal feud between him and Olivia, and from the perspective of his true self, since becoming the Knight Order Leader of the Secret Magic Knight Order, Olivia had always treated him well.

If not to help the principal resolve his knots, he even wouldn’t have acted against Olivia.

How things develop next depends on the principal himself.

Julie approached Olivia and whispered, ”It’s all over.”

Olivia wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth a few times, she didn’t know where to start.

”I didn’t expect things to reach this point. I just wanted to fulfill the promise between us. I just didn’t want to disappoint you.”

”But judging by the result, it seems I’ve taken the wrong path.”

Julie held Olivia’s hand, attempting to calm her uncontrollably trembling body, and comforted:

”You didn’t do wrong. It’s because of the path you chose that Stilan became the most prosperous country in the world.”

”Here possesses the most advanced industry, the most developed railways, the best medical care, and the most vibrant universities.”

”We were just too hurried, eager to solve all problems at once, shaping the world as we wished.”

Olivia turned to Julie, asking, ”Then what should I do?”

Julie’s gaze contained a sense of reminiscence, and she said:

”At first, I didn’t know either, until I saw Mrs. Sean helping people in the slums, I began to feel something.”

”To create a world where everyone can live peacefully, maybe it’s not necessary to implement specific laws or design complex plans, but to lend a helping hand to those in need, rather than treating them as necessary sacrifices for achieving our goals.”

”Mrs. Sean does it very well. I think, maybe we can change the Holy Awakening Sect to her faith, the Eternal Light Sect, and then gradually change everything on that basis.”

Secretly listening on the side, Wu Chang’s true self heard Julie’s response, and his heart skipped a beat, showing a guilty expression.

Miss Julie, mind your status. You’re a Saint Heir of the Revelation, suggesting substituting the Holy Awakening Sect with the Eternal Light Sect; is this appropriate?

Though he indeed had the idea of poaching, Julie being so proactive, wouldn’t it cause Kristen to misunderstand something?

Olivia turned her gaze to Wu Chang and asked:

”Sir Sean, what do you think of this proposal, and what should I do if I want to promote the faith of the Eternal Light Sect, which your wife believes in, in Stilan?”

Wu Chang shook his head and said, ”You don’t need to do anything. If Your Majesty wishes to promote the Eternal Light Sect in Stilan, my wife and I will fully cooperate.”

A faith land served up for free, there’s no reason he would refuse.

Kristen called him to help earlier, without mentioning joining an S-Level instance; taking this piece of faith land would compensate for the price difference.

As Wu Chang spoke, several prompts popped up before him.

”Player has completed Main Quest One: Survive in Stilan Capital, Grimland for at least thirty days, and witness the grandeur of the World Industrial Exposition.”

”Player has completed Main Quest Two: Acquire at least one Industrial Crown Pearl.”

”Player has completed Main Quest Three: Investigate the truth behind the Prime Minister’s assassination.”
