Scattering’s words were pure posturing.
Even Zhongli, the oldest Archon, has only lived for six thousand years. He wouldn’t dare claim to have witnessed the passage of time alongside Heaven and Earth.
In the current storyline, only Apep has the right to say such things.
Scattering, who had just begun to feel a surge of confidence,
was abruptly cut off by Yi Xuan’s sudden words, forcing back the declaration he was about to make.
“Noisy mortal, I am now a god. You, who once revered gods, dare speak to me with such disrespect?”
Scattering’s voice had barely died down when the head of the Divine Mechanism closed.
The motionless Divine Mechanism began to recharge using the energy of the Divine Heart.
Scattering’s aura had grown even stronger compared to before.
Paimon was now even more afraid. She hid behind Lumine.
She shivered and asked everyone,
“What should we do now?”
“What to do? Easy!”
Yi Xuan patted Lumine’s back, causing her to stumble forward.
“Go on, warrior.”
Lumine: ????????
Seeing that Yi Xuan had no hesitation in pushing his companion forward,
Paimon immediately crossed her arms and glared at Yi Xuan.
“Hey, didn’t you take the money? Why aren’t you the one going?”
Yi Xuan shrugged.
“Of course I’ll go, I never said when I’d go. You guys go first, if you can’t beat him, I’ll go in.
I’m your backup, go with confidence.”
Lumine wanted to argue with Yi Xuan about the “when” of his going in,
but there was no other way. The Divine Mechanism’s palm was already slapping down.
Originally, Scattering would have had time to spout some more nonsense at this point.
But with Yi Xuan around, Scattering was afraid that for every word he uttered, Yi Xuan would retort.
Why did he specifically add the adjective “smooth-tongued and treacherous” when mentioning Yi Xuan?
Having been subjected to Yi Xuan’s sharp tongue for years, he knew how powerful that mouth was.
Rather than say anything more, it was better to slap Yi Xuan to death with a single blow.
Then, when he couldn’t speak anymore, he could finally finish what he was going to say.
Yi Xuan, naturally, wouldn’t let Scattering succeed. He directly jumped out,
helping Lumine and Nahida below cheer her on.
In the game, it’s the player who controls the character to fight.
But from Yi Xuan’s perspective, it was truly Lumine alone facing Scattering.
No… there was also Kloe.
But Kloe was merely a regular Vision holder.
Plus, her Pyro Vision seemed to be suppressed by Scattering’s Divine Heart.
She couldn’t unleash her full power and could only provide some support.
The main DPS was still our dear Lumine.
Don’t let the game fool you, Lumine may only use the dull sword in the plot,
but in Yi Xuan’s world, she’s a master of all elements.
Wind, Geo, Electro, Dendro – she seamlessly switches between various elemental forces.
Compared to Lumine, Scattering, who relies on the Divine Heart to activate various elements, seems rather pathetic.
First, she unleashes a whirlwind, then Electro diffusion, followed by Dendro to trigger Hyperbloom reactions, finishing with Geo.
Sadly, we haven’t reached Fontaine yet.
If she gets to Fontaine and gains Hydro power, what then?
She could solo a whole team.
Lumine’s in-game strength is weak,
but her real-world strength is still on point.
She’s constantly unleashing various elemental powers, almost causing the Divine Mechanism to crash.
However, Yi Xuan also knew that the Divine Mechanism's energy still relies on the purple sphere circulating beneath its chest.
Both its element output efficiency and energy capacity were only half of what they originally were.
Once it entered full-body mech mode, Lumine would be harder to deal with.
Even though Ei hadn’t used the Divine Heart after becoming the Raiden Shogun,
it was still absorbed by Ei for over a thousand years of divine power.
The energy stored within was comparable to even the strongest Archons.
However, Lumine’s power isn’t complete yet, and we don’t know…
Although the Divine Mechanism created by the Doctor and the Akademiya could only unleash 60% of the Divine Heart's power,
it still barely reached the level of an Archon.
Right now, Lumine has roughly half the strength of Osial.
After reaching Fontaine and retrieving Hydro, she’ll probably be even stronger.
As Yi Xuan watched the battle,
Lumine had already defeated half of the Divine Mechanism.
Scattering casually waved his hand, causing the platform to crumble, sending everyone crashing onto the ground.
At this moment, Scattering had also connected his lower half.
His internal energy surged once again.
At this point, in terms of energy level, Scattering completely overwhelmed Nahida.
Lumine wanted to charge forward, but Scattering punched her to the ground.
Seeing this, Nahida wanted to step forward, but Yi Xuan stopped her.
“You pay me to do a job, I’ll make sure it’s done. You can leave the rest to me.”
Yi Xuan patted the side of his coat and walked slowly towards the Divine Mechanism.
Lightning continuously struck around him. One wrong step and he would be struck.
But Yi Xuan didn’t seem to notice, strolling casually through the lightning.
He clapped his hands as he walked.
“Not bad, not bad. Though it’s just a sliver of power, you have indeed attained a strength beyond the reach of mortals.”
After becoming an Executor, Scattering had some interactions with Yi Xuan.
But every interaction involved Yi Xuan’s foul mouth, making Scattering want to overturn the table.
What was going on this time? Had he changed his ways? Or was he intimidated by seeing Scattering gain divine power?
Yi Xuan didn’t know what was going on in Scattering’s mind and continued to speak.
“Having divine power means you can fight gods? Who told you that?
Gods and mortals are both beings bound by certain rules.
To transcend, you must break these constraints.
Humans without Visions, their fists can’t shatter stone, their feet can’t crack the earth. Even if they train their entire lives,
they still can't compare to a god’s gaze. Within their rules, can you truly win against them?”
Yi Xuan spoke, taking a disc out of his pocket.
Kloe’s eyes flickered slightly. She was all too familiar with this disc.
It was the very thing she had sent over a few days ago.
Kloe wasn’t interested in scientific research and didn’t know what it was.
She never expected that it would be Yi Xuan’s tool for dealing with gods.
“To break the rules, you must understand them. To gain power, you must decipher it.
This is the path that humans should take. Using fragile flesh to achieve power that can alter the rules,
is how humanity can survive in the game of gods.”
Yi Xuan pressed a button, casually tossing the disc to the ground.
Silver light emanated from the disc. In a matter of seconds, the entire space was enveloped in a strange energy field.
