Mou—
The deep roar of the siren, mixed with thunder, echoed between heaven and earth.
Thunderclouds rolled, and under the dim sky, three enormous black magic arrays overlapped one after another, rotating out of place in the air, and a terrifying and eerie aura spread rapidly.
Beneath the triple magic array, Lin Qiye floated in the air, surrounded by swirling magical elements, his gaze calmly fixed on the Kraken.
"Abyssal magic, [Triple Rashomon]."
The next moment, the three black magic circles above his head instantly shifted and appeared around Kraken, forming a black triangular cage that trapped him inside.
Black lightning crackled between the magic circles, the power from the abyss isolating Kraken from the outside world. The enormous tentacles struck the magic circles, were instantly scorched by the black lightning, and then retracted.
Kraken's eyes, like eerie green lanterns, rotated slightly, as if pondering what was hindering its progress.
A moment later, Kraken's two tentacles curled into a ball, emitting a cold, dark light, and slammed heavily onto the magic circle.
Thump—!
A dull thud resounded, the ground beneath their feet trembled violently, and the light of a magic circle dimmed slightly for a moment, while Kraken's tentacles only suffered minor superficial injuries.
Lin Qiye's expression changed slightly.
Even though he carries Merlin's soul, he is only at the "Boundless" realm. Facing the "Klein" behemoth, who is about to enter the realm of gods, the difference in strength is still too great.
If this continues, the Kraken will inevitably break through the triple Rashomon if it crashes a few more times.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, slowly raised his left hand, and a silver light bloomed from his fingertips, while a deep chanting echoed in the air.
"Spatial magic, [Dimensional Exile]."
Lin Qiye's fingertips shone brightly, and at the same time, the space around Kraken, who was trapped inside Rashomon, was suddenly torn apart, as if an invisible knife had cut open the space where he was.
If the quality isn't good enough, then make up for it with quantity!
Kraken's body, along with the three Rashomon gates, was instantly isolated from the surrounding space, and dense spatial ripples spread out, seemingly trying to send it to an unknown location.
Kraken keenly sensed this, and his deep roar resounded again. The cold light emanating from his body seemed to be the darkness brewing from the deep sea, disrupting the spatial teleportation process, so that even though this space had been separated, it had not been banished.
The magical elements around Lin Qiye churned once more, and extreme cold spread out from him!
He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Kraken in the distance!
"Extreme Ice Magic, [Eternal Freeze]!"
A blinding white light flashed, and the space within a three-mile radius of Kraken was instantly frozen in ice, like an ice pyramid standing majestically on the earth. The cold air emanating from it caused the temperature of the entire city to drop significantly.
The Kraken's figure was frozen in the ice pyramid, its enormous shadow shining through, making it look like a giant beast specimen beneath an iceberg.
The three most powerful sealing spells combined finally managed to seal this mythical beast of the "Klein" realm.
Not far away.
Xia Simeng stared in shock at the Kraken, frozen inside the pyramids in the distance, her mouth agape. "What...what is that?"
Kong Shang stared at the figure suspended in the air, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes.
"Captain, can you feel it?"
Xia Simeng nodded. "It's the aura of a god, and a god that has never been observed before."
"How is this possible? How could a human body possess the aura of a god?" Kong Shang couldn't help but exclaim.
Xia Simeng gazed at the deep blue figure, pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you think he might be Lin Qiye?"
"Lin Qiye?" Kong Shang was taken aback. "Isn't he the agent of the Seraph and the Goddess of Night? How did he get involved with other gods?"
"I don't know, but my intuition tells me... he's Lin Qiye." Xia Simeng's expression became excited. "He really is a genius! We must trick him... no, persuade him to join our [Phoenix] team!"
Kong Shang was speechless. "Captain, before that, we need to deal with this vicious dog first, otherwise I guess you can only hope that you can be buried in our [Phoenix] team's cemetery after you die."
Xia Simeng sighed, looking at the massive, frozen figure, and spoke with some worry:
"But... was that siren really so easily subdued?"
"!?"
From the dark sky above, an object resembling a comet streaked across the heavens as if tearing the firmament apart; it radiated an aura of incomparable power—strong enough to force the hound Garm to recoil and growl.
Wherever the streak of light passed, darkness followed, and a bone-chilling cold—accompanied by ice and snow—was swallowed by the endless blackness.
The streak of light locked onto Garm and plunged downward, triggering an impact that erupted like a small nuclear explosion when it hit the dog head.
Boom—!!!!
The anomalous entity—a humanoid figure—leaped off Garm's head following an attack that had caused the beast to whimper in pain and attempt to retreat. The figure then casually kicked Garm, sending it flying back a full hundred meters.
Even so, a single attack was not enough to kill the dog and that make the figure sign.
The figure is a tall young woman resembling Xia Simeng, with long black hair streaming in the wind. She wears the attire of an ancient Greek female warrior, complete with a long cloak—resembling the Milky Way—fluttering in the wind.
Her body is adorned with jewelry and a golden halo-style hair ornament, while additional halo-like rings, resembling moons, float around her head.
That is Lin Xi Chen wielding the power of Nyx! In Lin Xi Chen's hand is a long sword the color of the starry night sky, shimmering with her every movement.
"Is that..."
"Yeah, that's Lin Qiye's sister. And both of them possess a god aura...."
...
"Huh?"
Loki, who was confronting Lu Wuwei, seemed to sense something and turned to look into the distance.
"Someone actually stopped Kraken? You actually have other tricks up your sleeve?" Loki asked in surprise. On top of that, someone else managed to injure Garm.
Lu Wuwei spoke expressionlessly, "You underestimate us."
Loki's eyes were veiled by a faint light, as if he were ignoring all obstacles, and he saw the sealed Kraken and the boy maintaining the magic circle in front of it.
Upon seeing the boy, Loki paused, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.
"That is..."Suddenly, as if he had just thought of something, a strange light appeared in Loki's eyes.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!! Hahahaha... He's that person? I was wondering why, ten years ago, Gaia clearly wrote that name on [Shiva's Lament], but now..."
Loki suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Lin Qiye in the distance as if he had seen something particularly interesting.
He gazed at Lin Xi Chen, who had single-handedly held Garm at bay, forcing the beast to retreat. Ten years ago, a prophecy had foretold that—aside from Lin Qiye—there would arise someone who would surpass even him and become the first human to ascend to Godhood.
Loki's gaze turned cold, as if he were calculating a scheme to eliminate a threat even greater than Lin Qiye.
Unlike Lin Qiye, who bears a single Godhood, Lin Xi Chen acts as a "god-vessel" capable of harboring divine power from multiple deities. Her body fuses these powers together, transforming them into a new source of strength and enabling her to ascend as a new god.
"That brat is a demi-god now, huh...?"
He looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly trying to pierce through the thick clouds to see the bright moon hanging above all living beings.
"They did intervene... But ten years have passed. If I'm not mistaken, this miracle has reached its limit, hasn't it?" Loki turned to Lu Wuwei and smiled. "Do you think I'll have the chance to witness this miracle's demise today?"
"Loki," Lu Wuwei said slowly, "I will not let you see them."
"Hehehehe..." Loki sneered, "You really think that dragging me here will stop me?"
"Then you are seriously underestimating me, the God of Deception."
...
"Wake up..."
"You will never be able to get rid of me."
"You are the one I chose; you possess the power to overturn everything."
"You have been asleep long enough."
"Return, my agent."
"A successor to cunning and deception..."
"Si Xiaonan."
Rumble...
The rumbling thunder echoed in the sky, and the howling wind swept across the land. On the rooftop of the office building, everyone was watching the figure sealing the giant beast on the other side of the city.
No one noticed that Si Xiaonan, who was standing at the back of the group, squatted down in pain and began to breathe heavily.
