Chapter 971: The Battle of the Great Divine Powers (Part 3)

With Sui Xiong's current level of power, he was certainly able to assist in this battle of the great Divine Powers as long as he found the right time to do so.

The time was now, and he had found an opportunity where the God of Light could not strike back.

In reality, gods could grow numerous limbs, but no one would do that in a battle with a peer that had equal strength level. This was because one could only use their maximum powers when they were in a form they were most familiar with.

The God of Light was a human, and he was of course most familiar with only having two arms and two legs. The two legs were meant for him to stand upright and could not be used for other things randomly. All he could use were his hands. The God of Light had already used his right hand to attack the Master of Order and had spent too much energy, making it impossible for him to immediately retract it. Now, only his left hand was free and usable. He could only use his left hand to defend against any possible attack by the Master of Order, or rather, Sui Xiong, who had appeared out of nowhere.

This was a rather tough choice to make as either way, the God of Light would have to face danger. Yet, at the same time, it was still a simple choice as well as no matter how powerful Sui Xiong was, he could not be as powerful as an angry Master of Order.

Enduring Sui Xiong's attack was still better than that of the Master of Order's.

The God of Light thus simply turned his body slightly in an attempt to defend against Sui Xiong's attack. His left hand remained in the air and pointed towards the Master of Order.

What the Master of Order proceeded to do next was not surprising as well. Once Sui Xiong had intervened, this leader of the world for the past few decades immediately understood that now was the chance to reverse the battle outcome and emerge victorious. He raised his left fist without hesitation and used all the strength he had left to hit the God of Light sharply.

This was a rather opportune attack, and he hit the God of Light the same time Sui Xiong did. The God of Light thus had no choice but could only raise his fists in an attempt to defend himself. To a Great Divine Power, whatever pose or battle stance they used did not really matter. Once fists were exchanged, there were only two outcomes of either getting hit or defending, but it was impossible to hide.

In comparison, no matter how fast Sui Xiong's attack was, he could not beat the God of Light's swift dodging. The God of Light thus felt that he had nothing much to fear.

Well, he was wrong. Sui Xiong's attack was similarly one that he was unable to fully hide from.

After receiving the Dragon of Chaos' inheritance, although Sui Xiong was still not quite considered a great Divine Power and had a small gap to fill before he could reach that stage, he was not far from attaining that level.

To Sui Xiong, as long as he aimed properly and was not completely blocked, he would definitely be able to damage the God of Light.

This was similar to a character's key move in a random card game that he used to play on Earth. As long as the card was not blocked by an action card like "Invincibility" or "Iron Wall," he would definitely be able to launch a successful attack or even a fatal one at that.

If it was not for Sui Xiong being stressed and focused right now, he would definitely have cheekily tried to emulate the game character's catchphrases while attacking the God of Light, saying things like "I will now take your heart…"

The God of Light had dodged the swift attack that Sui Xiong had launched with his sword by turning his body, but the sword that resembled a shooting star did not bend or turn but instead directly hit the God of Light in his throat.

At the speed of a shooting star, the God of Light's head left his body and flew high in the sky, his shocked expression still painted on.

Even before waiting for his reaction, the shooting star had already expanded like a giant web and sucked his brain in before rushing off and flying to goodness knows where. Decapitation!

This type of injury, to anyone else, would almost certainly be fatal. However, to the gods, it was not such a huge deal. Gods mostly needed to protect the core of their divinity. As long as the core was not destroyed, any injury, big or small, would not be an issue. Furthermore, the core of a god's divinity was flexible and not fixed in shape or size. Be it beheading or even the disintegration of the body, they could all just be considered changes in the body.

Yet, in a crucial battle like this, the loss of the brain was a rather serious matter.

The God of Light did not lose all his senses, such as sight and sound, just because his brain was now gone. A god's senses naturally did not require body organs. Nevertheless, with the loss of his brain, the God of Light's balance deteriorated immensely and he stiffened up due to the shock and the pain of Sui Xiong's attack.

This all happened within an extremely short period of time, maybe even a microscopic amount of time. However, to the Master of Order, who was a great Divine Power like the God of Light, it was enough.

It was plentiful and extremely useful.

Within this short period of time, the God of Light received hundreds of punches. Each punch differed in strength, with some being a little weak. However, together, the punches formed a giant cage that locked the God of Light within. This temporarily cut off his connection with the source of the world.

Unlike the God of Light, who was younger, the Master of Order was a master who had entered the great Divine Power Realm many years ago. Regarding battles at the great Divine Power level, he had experience. This was especially due to his participation in the battle between the four great Divine Powers and the King of Four Elements in the past. It was also partially due to the fact that he had fought many other wars with the other three Great Divine Powers in the past, to the point where he had lost count.

When the God of Light had gained an advantage at the start of this battle, the Master of Order simply gave in initially and showed his weaknesses while being forced to take steps back. However, now that he had the chance to retaliate, one single attack by the Master of Order was able to severely hurt the God of Light.

Why were great Divine Powers so strong? Well, this was because the power they received from the source of the world greatly exceeded that of the Divine Powers.

In that case, what if the great Divine Power's connection to the source of the world was temporarily disrupted? Of course, they would be greatly weakened.

The God of Light immediately recognized and understood the danger that he was in. He could not care less about the Jellyfish God who has performed a sneak attack on him. Instead, he gathered up all his strength and hit the Master of Order heavily. His body strongly emitted vibes of evil and malicious intent, like a damaged wild beast who was cornered and had nowhere else to run.

Those who saw his evil stance would assume that there was the possibility that the God of Light wanted to perish alongside the Master of Order!

Well, the Master of Order had the advantage now. Why would he want to perish alongside the God of Light? The Master of Order immediately waved both his fists, wanting to block the God of Light's attack. However, just at this moment, a devious and dangerous smile appeared on the God of Light's face as he regrew a new brain.

With a wave of his hand, yet another light ball flew towards the Master of Order.

In that light ball, there was a face that had an expression of insanity and hope, eroded by the extreme forces of evil—the God of Aristocracy who was being converted through demons.

Since the God of Royalty had not yet completed his resurrection, the God of Aristocracy had not fallen from the level of great Divine Power, even though they had felt the pain of having their priesthood torn apart. All along, they had been protected by the God of Light and was thus able to maintain a strong level of divinity as well as divine enchantments.

Now, it was clear that all these benefits provided for by the God of Light were merely to ensure that the God of Aristocracy was available for use as a suitable bomb during a key moment like now.

Such a move shocked everyone present as none of them had expected it. Everyone knew that the Master of Mystery had landed in the hands of the Human God System and were not totally shocked at the fact that he had been made a bomb. However, the fact that the God of Light had even used the God of Aristocracy, a god who was supposedly to be the next great Divine Power and become the Human God System's Master God, and was willing to turn them into a bomb… No one had expected this at all.

The Master of Order had, of course, been shocked and caught off guard as well.

The God of Aristocracy was not an extremely good god but nevertheless, their existence was extremely important to this world.

Using his basic "order" ability, the Master of Order managed to agilely catch this bomb flying towards him and wanted to repeat what he did in the past, which was to convert it such that the God of Aristocracy would not meet their downfall and would be able to resurrect.

Previously, the God of Light was busy trying to absorb and digest the power of the God of Evil. He thus did not have time to play tricks and was only able to quickly seize one chance to hit and kill the Dragon of Chaos. However, this time, he had enough time to take action. He smiled coldly and his body quickly turned in circles. Quickly, he broke through the cage that the Master of Order had trapped him in, regaining a connection with the source of the world.

That was not all! The God of Light continued to take action with a rapid attack. Just as the Master of Order was fixated on saving the God of Aristocracy, the God of Light used this distraction to quickly hit the Master of Order squarely in his chest!
