Seven Deadly Sins System

Chapter 228: A Branch



An expression of interest flashed across the Mother's face, as her eyes landed on the two clones of Chu Wuyao.

Although the fact that the clones had the same exact appearance didn't mean that the two were actually the same person, with the Mother's extraordinary eyesight, she was able to sense the connection between them.

This was true even if this was merely a phantom of hers.

Of course, for the Mother, the fact that Chu Wuyao had some clones was not special at all and would not interest her.

Instead, what attracted her attention was Chu Wuyao herself.

Many thoughts went through the Mother's mind, until finally, she opened her mouth to speak.

"Come on. I'll give you a reward if you are able to survive the next attack.", she said and the moment she finished these words, Wu Feng, who had been hiding his presence all this time, had a bad premonition.

"Not good!", he thought, as his intuition warned him of danger.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the time nor the strength to save himself.

The Mother's mind moved, and the next second, Wu Feng's aura began fluctuating violently.

His skin became red and mist came off its surface, while his body quickly shriveled up, as if something had sucked out every last bit of his blood.

"Crack!"

At the same time, countless cracks formed on the golden palace's surface, making it seem as if it was about to break the very next moment.

As the condition of Wu Feng and his Vision gradually worsened, the aura of the Mother became stronger and stronger.

Her power, which was already high enough to suppress Awakening Realm cultivators, increased even further, causing a terrible feeling of oppression to everyone and everything around her.

Even Chu Wuyao's God Clone felt a rising feeling of depression in its heart, making it clear that it was about to face danger.

Chu Wuyao was about to dodge, but before she could do so, the Mother finally moved.

Out of nowhere, she opened her mouth wide and a green light flew out, which rushed toward Chu Wuyao's God Clone.

Before Chu Wuyao could react, the green light had landed on her body and merged into it, like a drop of oil into the sea.

But even though the light disappeared, Chu Wuyao didn't feel relieved.

Instead, the feeling of depression in her heart became even more intense, as some weird changes began taking place in her.

Just like what happened to the Devil Clone before it, the God Clone's consciousness also split, giving birth to multiple personalities, while the cells that made up its body seemed to have obtained a will of their own.

The God Clone's body shook, while its skin squirmed, as if something was about to rush out.

"Puff!"

A piercing sound spread as the skin on her ribs was torn apart and many arms poked out of that gap.

At the same time, countless eyes appeared on Chu Wuyao's face, torso, arms, and legs, which looked around them with ferocity.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Wuyao had turned from a beautiful, holy woman into a horrifying monster, a monster that looked even more eerie and strange than even the Mother.

The God Clone urged its Divine Power and tried to suppress these changes, but its efforts proved to be completely meaningless.

It was clear that although the Mother's phantom only had strength equivalent to a Supernatural Realm cultivator, her combat power couldn't be judged by common sense and she possessed many powerful abilities that far surpassed this realm.

In the face of her attack, even Supernatural Realm cultivators would have trouble breaking free and would most likely end up at the Mother's mercy.

However, despite how dangerous her current situation seemed to be, Chu Wuyao didn't panic.

Even when she sensed the multiple consciousnesses in her mind and saw the horrifying changes in her body, she was still able to remain calm.

"We can only try that...", Chu Wuyao thought.

Then, her mind moved and the Divine Power in her body surged just like before, but this time, she didn't use it to suppress the changes.

As the Divine Power boiled, the God Clone's body enlarged like a filled-up balloon before a loud noise spread.

"Boom!"

Chu Wuyao's body exploded, turning into tiny pieces that flew everywhere.

As a result of her explosion, the area around her was severely impacted.

In a radius of hundreds of meters, whether it was the remaining animals, the plants, or any other living creature, they were instantly obliterated.

At the same time, countless cracks that were tens of meters wide appeared on the land below, from which magma and water poured out.

Seeing this scene and feeling that the God Clone's aura had disappeared, a hint of surprise appeared on the Mother's face.

"Do you want to give up the clone to remove the influence? It's really decisive...", she thought, but soon, she noticed something overturned this guess.

Although the God Clone was nowhere to be seen, a small world remained in the place where it originally stood, and countless lights rushed out of it.

As soon as these lights appeared in the outside world, they quickly blended together, gathering into a humanoid figure.

Soon, a familiar scene took place.

Just like the Mother had done before, the dead Chu Wuyao was resurrected, as if her previous death was just an illusion.

Chu Wuyao breathed a sigh of relief when she checked her body and found that the previous changes had completely disappeared.

"Death can indeed remove the influence of this woman's power...", she analyzed, as she turned her head turned to look at the Kingdom of God behind her.

Chu Wuyao could see that it was slightly smaller when compared to before.

This reduction in size was extremely miniscule and it would be almost impossible for other people to detect, but Chu Wuyao was this Kingdom of God's owner and noticed it immediately.

However, she knew that this change was perfectly normal.

Her previous "resurrection" was not much of resurrection, but more like the rebuilding of her body.

This was because of the special nature of the God power system.

Once practitioners of the God power system managed to become Lower Gods, the bodies they used were no longer their real bodies, but they were more like the carriers of their consciousness.

In fact, the Gods' real body was their Godhead, which resided in the deepest part of their Kingdom of God.

To kill a God, one had to search their Kingdom of God and destroy their Godhead, otherwise, Gods could simply consume their faith to rebuild their bodies.

"Granted, although this 'ability' is great and is very suitable for ensuring one's life, a large amount of faith is needed to rebuild the God's body."

"If it were not for the fact that I have many believers in the Inheritance World, with my current amount of believers in the Cultivation World, I wouldn't be able to support it.", Chu Wuyao thought, pondering over the limitations of this 'ability'.

But soon, she shook her head and suppressed these thoughts.

Returning to reality, Chu Wuyao lowered her head and looked at the Mother's phantom.

Instantly she discovered that the current condition of the Mother was not good at all.

She constantly alternated between reality and illusion and her figure gradually became increasingly transparent, as if she would disappear the next second.

Obviously, although the previous attack seemed simple, it had still taken a heavy toll on the Mother.

After all, the current Mother was merely a phantom summoned by Wu Feng and not her real body.

The only reason why she was able to exert such powerful power was partly because of her high realm and partly because she used Wu Feng and his Vision as fuel.

Even so, she could only use such strength once.

Chu Wuyao understood this, and of course, the Mother understood it too.

However, even though her attack had failed to kill Chu Wuyao, she didn't show any anger or disappointment.

It was actually quite the opposite.

Her smile brightened and her eyes lit up, making it clear that she was extremely satisfied.

"Good. Very good! You're worthy of being my daughter!", the Mother praised, and ignoring the fact that her phantom was about to disperse, she turned her head and looked at the temple in the distance.

Under her gaze, the extremely precious plants that surrounded the temple and would make even Supernatural Realm cultivators greedy began withering as if the time around them had sped up.

In the blink of an eye, all the plants had dried up, having reached the end of their lifespan.

As these plants met their end, a dazzling green light suddenly spread from the center of the temple, before it completely engulfed it.

This green light only lasted for a split second before it completely went away, but in that brief time, the magnificent temple had disappeared.

In its place, only a tiny branch remained, floating in the air on its own.

Seeing this branch, the Mother controlled it to land on her hand, before she gently brushed her fingers against its surface.

Tiny green runes would appear wherever her fingers passed, and in the end, the branch was covered in billions of tiny green runes.

"This is your reward.", the Mother spoke and without waiting for Chu Wuyao's response, she threw the branch forward.

In the final moments before her phantom dispersed, a voice echoed directly in Chu Wuyao's mind.

"Don't worry. We're destined to meet again..."
