Chapter 1165 - 676: The Power of Those on the Path to Divinity
"What..."
Juliana hadn’t even reacted; her pretty face was brutally kicked by Lis, stuffing her words back down her throat.
She truly hadn’t expected why Lis could be so fast?
Obviously, the other party was a Legendary Mage, so his physical strength should be quite weak.
This was why she dared to approach Lis so defenselessly, hoping to use a Secret Technique to bypass the Magic Shield and directly control Lis’s body.
But unexpectedly, Lis turned around and kicked her flying.
Juliana’s figure flew back at an extreme speed, relentlessly crashing into the red Molten River below.
After a brief pause, a figure suddenly sprang from the Molten River, hovering in mid-air, looking at Lis with embarrassment and rage.
Juliana was in a state of disarray; although the wounds on her face were slowly healing, Lis’s kick had inflicted significant damage.
Her originally charming face was completely distorted.
"Damn man, I will capture you and torture you for a hundred days!"
"Ahhh, how dare you ruin my beauty!"
"I will make you regret everything you did today."
Juliana screamed frantically, her voice extremely sharp.
Lis’s expression didn’t change; in his eyes, although Juliana was beautiful, she was undoubtedly a vicious Evil God believer.
His attack seemed to have critically struck Juliana, causing her face to suddenly collapse.
In an instant, Juliana’s originally delicate face seemed to be completely stripped of its surface disguise.
Her skin began to crack bizarrely, with strands of fissures spreading swiftly like a spider web.
Then, that seemingly intact face appeared like a Human Skin Mask, slowly peeling off from the edges.
As the face skin peeled off, what lay beneath was no longer a normal human’s appearance.
It was a mass of crimson, bloody muscle tissue, each texture visible, still slightly trembling.
Meanwhile, grotesquely writhing nerves were like tiny poisonous snakes, intertwining, writhing, emitting an eerie and terrifying aura.
Blood seeped from the crevices between muscle and nerves, dripping to the ground, splashing up alarming blood flowers.
Juliana’s originally charming gaze now lost its calmness, glaring at Lis violently.
As the concealment was destroyed, it seemed to reveal her ugliest and most insane side.
Juliana hadn’t expected that a careless moment would lead Lis to directly destroy her most cherished mask.
She vowed to make Lis pay the price, to experience a pain even more desperate than Death.
"Juliana, you’ve underestimated our World Tree Favored here."
At the moment Juliana was preparing to continue her attack on Lis, two figures appeared before her.
They made her slightly calm down, halting her forward movement.
Lis looked at the two people before him with a somewhat solemn expression.
Regardless of the system prompt or his memories from previous lives, he understood the strength of the three appearing here.
Pope Holmes of the All Beast Church!
Divine Messenger of the Abuse Goddess, [Torture Executor] Juliana!
Divine Son Luun of Hunting God Mara!
Especially the latter, Lis had a quite deep impression of him.
The other two were heads of the Evil God believers, with considerable strength among legends.
Yet they couldn’t be compared to Divine Son Luun of Hunting God Mara.
This one had brutally killed an entire city-state of Humans as offerings in the future, attempting Ascension!
And it’s known that the city-state had a Legendary Guardian, but there was still absolutely no chance to resist.
Although he didn’t directly achieve divinity, he did reach the rank of a Demigod.
He rarely acted, mostly hunting those above the Legendary rank.
Later, he went missing in the Abyss Blood Battle, likely killed jointly by the Church of the Gods.
But now, even if Luun hadn’t held an Ascension Ceremony, he unquestionably was far along the Path to Divinity.
He was the strongest among everyone present!
In theory, the other party shouldn’t target him, someone who just broke into Legendary unless he had something special about him.
And clearly, Lis was indeed such a special person.
Being a World Tree Favored, previously when Lis was in the Elf Kingdom he was secretly attacked by the God of Hunting believers.
About the God of Hunting believers, Lis had a considerable understanding of them.
The most important point was that these people were absolutely crazy, genuinely daring to do anything to complete the so-called Hunting Ceremony.
Of course, almost all Evil God believers were like that, seemingly no different.
Clearly, the three present were still led by Divine Son Luun.
Even the usually insane Juliana forcibly calmed down upon seeing Luun appear.
In her eyes, besides anger toward Lis, there was also fear of Luun.
While Lis observed Luun appearing before him, Luun took no notice of Juliana.
He could see Liz wasn’t seriously injured, just feeling humiliated after being attacked by Lis.
In Juliana’s eyes, Lis at this point had absolutely no chance of escape under their meticulous arrangements.
Yet still, she suffered a small loss; her most cherished Human Skin Mask was also destroyed.
This nearly caused Juliana, who always valued her appearance, to explode directly.
