Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 819: Chapter 485: [The Loom of Fate]

Snow Wood was feeling a severe headache at this moment; the most troublesome issue was right in front of her eyes: two opponents had joined forces against her, leaving her in a highly passive position.

With her current abilities, the idea of defeating both of them was as fanciful as a flight of fantasy; it was still unknown whether she could even withstand ten rounds.

Moreover, these two hailed from Heavenly Moon City and had come to consider her as their greatest opponent; obviously, they had no intention of cooperating with her. She had no choice but to face them two-on-one.

After taking a deep breath, Snow Wood made a decision. Having reached this point, there was no more need for secrecy. She had originally planned to save this move for the finals, but it was a pity that if she didn’t use it in the semi-finals, she might be eliminated and lose face for the Snow Sky Sect.

After all, the Snow Sky Sect was one of the Three Great Sects of the South. If she couldn’t even make it into the top three, not only would she be unable to face others, but the Snow Sky Sect would also become a laughingstock. If the situation deteriorated further, some Great Sects would undoubtedly seek to challenge the Snow Sky Sect, something she did not wish to see.@@novelbin@@

Therefore, for Snow Wood, even if she couldn’t claim first place, she absolutely had to make it into the top ten—that was her bottom line. Of course, making it into the top three would naturally be the best outcome.

In the midst of speaking, Snow Wood took out a rune from her possession, then activated it, and a burst of light surged forth. Following that, the light poured into her body, and instantly, Snow Wood’s aura and strength amplified by hundreds of times; she now possessed a force not inferior to that of a Quasi-Saint Emperor.

This scene shocked everyone, though it didn’t come as a surprise. After all, Snow Wood was from the Snow Sky Sect—if she lacked any foundation, who would believe it? The ones under the most pressure were her two opponents. They thought they had Snow Wood figured out, but who could have anticipated this sudden change?

They belonged to no small Family Clan in Heavenly Moon City, but obviously, they couldn’t compare with a Great Sect like Snow Sky Sect, so they didn’t have much to defend against an amplification of power. Even the two of them felt a trace of fear; facing an opponent akin to a Quasi-Saint Emperor, they had less than a ten percent chance of winning.

However, after a few moments, the two gathered some courage, “What’s there to fear? Even if she has Divine Skill enhancement, can she really maintain this amplification forever? We just need to drag out the fight with Snow Wood until her strength and stamina are exhausted, then we can take her down with one move.”

Snow Wood simply scoffed. She was well aware of what her opponents were planning, but of course, she couldn’t let them succeed. Now was the time when she was at her strongest, and she had to use a quick and decisive battle to take them down, otherwise, if too much time dragged on, they would surely fight her to the death.

In fact, her Divine Skill could be maintained for 15 minutes, so she didn’t fear a drawn-out battle. However, if those two really became desperate and attempted mutual destruction, it would cause her significant harm. After all, she needed to not only win the semi-finals but also shine in the finals.

He did not want to be injured in the fight against these two, for if that happened, he would inevitably have to forfeit the finals. Therefore, right from the start, Snow Wood unleashed her most powerful attack, and all saw a dazzling flame rushing towards them, its terrifying burning temperature causing pain to countless spectators.

The two opponents combined their attacks in an attempt to block this move, but it was merely a drop in the bucket. Against such a mighty onslaught, not to mention merely two Divine Skills put together, even if they were amplified a hundred times more, they would still be weak in front of Snow Wood and were injured by this strike.

Unbelievably, that strength was too formidable; even with their strength amplified a hundredfold, Snow Wood’s power should not have left them completely unable to fight back, right? Both of their Cultivation Levels were at the Saint Seat Eighth Level, and with the addition of some Divine Skills, they were comparable to an ordinary Saint Seat Ninth Level Peak. Especially when their attacks were combined, they should have the power to fight even a Half-step Saint Emperor Powerhouse.

Yet, that recent blow made them feel a vast gap, as if Snow Wood had already become a Saint Emperor Powerhouse, easily capable of obliterating them. Initially, the two had intended to fight Snow Wood indefinitely, but just after a single move, their mindset underwent a drastic change.

How could they possibly win this battle? Facing Snow Wood’s formidable strength, whether they could withstand even three moves was questionable. Moreover, even if they were to survive the three rounds by sheer luck, they would likely be at the end of their rope, and even their entire Cultivation could be ruined—just for a spot in the finals.

The battle in the semi-finals was already so terrifying; did they truly have a chance of claiming first place? It was all a mere joke. In the semi-finals, they could still fight two against one, but the finals would be different—the opponents they would face would surely be stronger than Snow Wood, and the most terrifying outcome was not preserving their lives.

So, after much deliberation, the two decided that surrendering might be the only way out. Although it was somewhat embarrassing, it did not yield any loss to themselves. Of course, they couldn’t just surrender after one move; doing so would certainly make them look ridiculous, as they were not only representing themselves but also the Family Clan and Sect behind them.

Thus, the two gathered their strength for a second attack, and in an instant, they charged towards Snow Wood. At this moment, Snow Wood was bemused, not because their attack was so powerful, but rather because this Divine Skill was so commonplace, even on the competitive stage, it barely counted for anything.
