Chapter 1316: Battle of Trickery
"To deal with Loki, the most troublesome thing is that he can use 'Trickery' to constantly rewrite history and turn the tide of battle... With just us, it would be practically impossible to exhaust his divine power and prevent him from using 'Trickery'. So there's only one method left..."
"Use 'Trickery' to rewrite the history I've already rewritten back?" Loki, standing in the air, guessed the method in Si Xiaonan's words and sneered,
"Xiaonan, I am the God of Trickery, and you... are merely my agent. Even if you push the God's Ruins to its limit, how far back in history can you rewrite?
Ten seconds? Twenty seconds?
Do you think you can be faster than me?"
Si Xiaonan said nothing. She simply opened her mouth silently and ran her tongue along the gap between her teeth, and a silver needle automatically弹出。
"Ghost God引?" When An Qingyu saw this, her brow furrowed. "You..."
"If I want to defeat Loki, I must raise my 'Trickery' to a level comparable to his... This is the only way." Si Xiaonan seemed to have anticipated this situation long ago and said calmly.
Si Xiaonan clenched her teeth together, and the silver needle stabbed sharply into her flesh. The next moment, her realm began to rise at a visible speed!
With the gushing eruption of spiritual power, Si Xiaonan had half a foot across the ceiling barrier in an instant, only a hair's breadth away from the human apex... but that single thread was precisely what blocked Si Xiaonan's path.
The Human Apex was a threshold. Half a foot into this threshold was the limit a normal human could reach using Ghost God引. Even Lin Qiye could only barely cross this threshold with the additional boost from soul bearing or the Holy Grail's wish.
But to抗衡 Loki, this alone was not enough.
Si Xiaonan stood in the gale swept up by spiritual power, her black hair dancing in the wind. She took a deep breath and shouted toward those behind her:
"Leng Xuan!!"
Leng Xuan, who was being treated by Oath Society members, didn't hesitate for a moment. He fiercely broke free from their hands, clenched his teeth, and ignoring the excruciating pain, sprinted toward where Si Xiaonan was!
His trembling last arm retrieved a Coat of Arms from his bosom and forcefully tossed it toward Si Xiaonan!
Snap—!
Si Xiaonan caught the Coat of Arms like lightning. A silver needle弹出 from the side of the Coat of Arms and pierced into her skin!
The second "Ghost God引"!
Streams of black threads wove around Si Xiaonan, interweaving into a "Trickery" that began to deceive her body.
Ghost God引 could only be used once in a person's lifetime.
Because the fundamental reason for its effect was using secret medicine to overdraft all of the body's potential in a short time, achieving a realm leap. For ordinary people, even inserting a second Ghost God引 during the first one's effect would not increase the realm further, because their potential had already been exhausted during the first use.
A dried-up body, no matter how much more it was overdrafted, could not mobilize more potential.
But Si Xiaonan was an exception.
She could use "Trickery" to deceive her own body, causing the flowing potential to briefly return to her body and be re-stimulated, achieving a doubled effect!
The power of two Ghost God引s doubly overdrafted all of Si Xiaonan's vitality and potential. Her surging spiritual power shattered that threshold, fully entering the Human Apex realm, and shot straight to its peak!
Among the many living Human Apexes, only two at this realm existed—Lin Qiye and Yuzuri Takishiro.
Perceiving the terrifying aura emanating from Si Xiaonan, Loki's brow furrowed slightly.
He coldly snorted. Innumerable threads materialized around him, quickly weaving into a trick, but in the next moment, identical black threads also wove around Si Xiaonan, forming the same trick.
Buzz—!!
A strange, muffled sound reverberated from the void between the two. A gale swept across the stone city.
Neither moved, but in the history invisible to all, they had already clashed in the void using "Trickery" across space. Only Si Xiaonan in mid-air retreated half a step, a strand of blood appearing at the corner of her mouth, but a smile curved across her face...
She succeeded.
Just now, Loki had tried to use "Trickery" to deceive history, causing Si Xiaonan to fail in breaking through the ceiling with Ghost God引. If that had worked, the current peak Human Apex Si Xiaonan would cease to exist.
But with Si Xiaonan's "Trickery" intervention, the history that was about to be deflected off course by Loki was twisted back onto the right path.
Although Si Xiaonan had done this with great difficulty, it meant she could restrain Loki's most troublesome ability!
"Let's see how long you can maintain this state?"
Loki's expression was ugly beyond compare. Since becoming the God of Trickery, it was the first time he had been restrained by someone before his divine power was exhausted. And the one restraining him was, of all people, his own agent.
This was what Si Xiaonan had always believed... Below the Supreme, only "Trickery" could kill "Trickery".
Si Xiaonan's face was somewhat pale. She lowered her head and coughed out two mouthfuls of blood, then said with a light laugh: "Killing you... is enough."
Before her words even finished, three figures simultaneously charged toward Loki in the sky!
The two Oath Society Special Envoys flanked left and right, darting like lightning. Their spiritual power churned like waves. Above Loki, An Qingyu, draped in a blood-stained white robe, slowly spread her arms open. Her lenses reflected the pale sunlight, cold and mysterious.
"Yin Thunder, Divine Fire, Soul Poison Spreads Wild!"
Sizzle—!!
The moment An Qingyu's voice fell, a black bolt of lightning pierced through the thick clouds in an instant. A crimson fire snake took shape from the void, coiling around the yin thunder, transforming into a thunder-fire dragon. It let out a mountain-shattering roar and swooped down to devour Loki below!
The full-power strike from the other two Special Envoys also simultaneously engulfed Loki's figure!
Blinding fire burst from mid-air. A thundering roar echoed within the "Human Enclosure." At the same time, Trickery light flickered around Si Xiaonan standing nearby. Her form twisted and instantly became Loki, but the next moment changed back to Si Xiaonan.
Half her body was charred black. Her face was deathly pale. She spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated several more steps.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her hand and coldly stared at the center of the explosion.
Just now, Loki had tried to use "Trickery" to swap positions with her, but she had used a "Trickery" she had prepared in advance to swap him back. Even so, she had still been injured in that explosion.
Within the blazing flames, a figure carrying terrifying divine power burst through the thick smoke and lunged toward Si Xiaonan!
Loki's magnificent priestly robe was burned scorched black, but he hadn't sustained too severe injuries on his body. After all, he had a god's physique. The combined strike from An Qingyu and the others had inflicted only limited damage on him. However, Si Xiaonan had interrupted his "Trickery" twice in succession, driving him into a fury!
No matter what, he had to kill Si Xiaonan!!
Seeing Loki break through the blockade and charge toward Si Xiaonan regardless of everything, Leng Xuan's eyes narrowed.
Grinding his teeth, he used his remaining arm to lightning-fast stuff the final bullet into the heavy sniper's chamber. He forcefully shouldered the rifle and shouted toward the sky:
"Xiaonan!!"
