CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 331: STORM GOD’S SCEPTER_2

"Name: Storm God’s Scepter."

"Category: Ancient Object."

"Rank: Legendary."

"Description: A scepter symbolizing the authority of storms, formed by the combination of [Thunder Eye] and [Silver Holy Object]. The ’Thunder Eye’ itself possesses extremely high activity; although it hasn’t evolved into an ancient object, it is close to its peak. Thus, after combining with the ’Silver Holy Object,’ it has truly been activated."

"Effect 1: You can control the power of lightning and storms."

"Effect 2: You can dominate certain groups in the sky through the reverence of the ’Storm God.’

"Negative Effect 1: Lightning and storms will naturally be drawn to you, making getting struck by lightning a daily occurrence for you."

"Negative Effect 2: The Storm God’s Scepter does not wish to be controlled by anyone, especially someone of ’Star Spirit’ rank like you. It will summon various strange and terrifying hidden entities to try to kill you."

"Special Note: Holding the ’Storm God’s Scepter’ will attract the attention of the ’Wind Lord.’ Are you ready to face Him?"

"This is..." Tree Ancient God’s expression became slightly solemn.

"You raised your hand to grasp the scepter, infusing spirituality into it, and activated the first effect. You saw dark clouds and mist immediately gathering in the sky dome, with a fierce wind emerging and silver-purple lightning intertwining to form a terrifying lightning storm, pouring down towards the earth."

"Target... Tree Ancient God."

...

Yang Qizhou looked at the content of the text, quickly pondering in his mind.

As a legendary ancient object, the ’Storm God’s Scepter’ possesses power comparable to the Divine Sovereign, undeniably strong.

But that only applies to levels below the ’Divine Sovereign.’

The ’Tree Ancient God’ is another identity of the King of Nature, not only possessing the rank of ’Divine Sovereign’ but also endowed with ’Pillar’ traits. Although the ’Storm God’s Scepter’ might cause some trouble, the likelihood of causing substantial harm isn’t high.

"However,"

Yang Qizhou recalled another trait of the ’Storm God’s Scepter’ and had a vague suspicion about the game character’s intent, "the value of this ancient object isn’t just in its power, but also in another characteristic, which is... attracting the attention of the Wind Lord."

The game continues.

...

"Silver-purple lightning, like a waterfall, instantly engulfed the ’Tree Ancient God.’

"How is it,"

"Your heart suddenly lifted. Although you sensed the storm’s strike wouldn’t harm the other party, you couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope."

"Soon, the electrical flash receded like a tide, and the windstorm gradually dissipated. At its center, an illusory giant tree gradually expanded, blocking all destruction. The ’Tree Ancient God’ hidden inside still wore a smile, with not even a corner of His robe damaged.

"As expected,

"Your heart, although disappointed, wasn’t overly pessimistic. As planned, you first utilized the ’Destiny Replay’ effect to replicate the destiny of possessing the ’Storm God’s Scepter,’ then whispered... Itas, can you deliver this scepter to the ’Tree Ancient God,’ preferably near Him, can it be done?

"A fleeting voice responded... It can be done, but it will take some time, and during that period, you must avoid the ’Tree Ancient God’s detection.

"You were prepared and replied in a deep voice... I’ll do my best.

"The next moment, the ’Storm God’s Scepter’ in your hand disappeared silently, hidden by an invisible force. The lightning storm in the sky lost its power source and gradually vanished.

"At this point, if the ’Lightning Storm’ completely disappears, the ’Tree Ancient God’ will certainly realize the ’Storm God’s Scepter’ is gone, leading to increased vigilance.

"You seamlessly transitioned and immediately activated ’Destiny Replay,’ recreating the fate of holding the ’Storm God’s Scepter,’ infusing power into the lightning storm,

"The originally receding lightning storm grew strong again. Silver-purple lightning, like a God Defying Spear piercing through the heavens and earth, crashed onto the ground, submerging the ’Tree Ancient God’ raised by the illusory large tree.

"Unfortunately,

"Just like before, the ’Tree Ancient God’ remained unaffected, effortlessly resisting this terrible disaster with the ’Pillar’ traits.

"There is terror in the wind and rain, stemming from the ’Wind Lord’s control over the Wind Domain order. As a thief of destiny and a blasphemous wizard, your use of storm power poses a high risk of attracting the ’Wind Lord’s attention, consequently leading to the Silver Kingdom’s arrival. Facing two ’Pillars,’ how will you escape then,

"Amid mocking taunts, the ’Tree Ancient God’s aura began to shift, pausing to add with a smile... Oh, there’s something you might not know. Due to the special symbolism of ’Wind,’ the Silver Kingdom is the Old God Kingdom closest to the Real World, so don’t equate the ’Wind Lord’s interference with reality to those like the ’Lord of Night’ or the ’Desolate Mother’.

"You thought of the terrifying destruction in Dark Mist Town during a storm,

"You understood the truth in the King of Nature’s words,

"Yet you weren’t worried; instead, you smiled and mysteriously asked... Should I call you the ’King of Nature’ or the ’Tree Ancient God’?

"The white-robed old man enveloped by the illusory tree suddenly darkened his face... You’ve discovered it.

...

Reading the text,

Yang Qizhou was initially stunned, then he realized, admiring the game character’s true acuity.

Previously, he found it odd that even after the ’Tree Ancient God’ used the ’Pillar’ traits to block the power of the ’Storm God’s Scepter,’ he didn’t immediately initiate an attack on the game character. After seeing the last line of the text, he immediately understood.

The game character did not dare underestimate the King of Nature, and the King of Nature, in turn, could not overlook the game character.

Having already drawn out the likes of the ’Deception Lord,’ ’Desolate Mother,’ ’Lord of Night,’ and other Pillar-level Old Gods, as well as the appearance of the ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility’ blocking the ’God of Pleasure and Violence,’ even though this deity of the Dream Realm isn’t a ’Pillar,’ the Nameless Land behind Him represented a significance even the ’Pillars’ must fear.

Additionally, the fallen ’Hidden Wizard King’ provided assistance.

’Tree Ancient God,’ being only on the Divine Sovereign level, without knowing how many more cards the game character had, or what else he could utilize, summoned his physical body as the safest measure.

As for the method,

Yang Qizhou couldn’t guess, but with the support of the Master of Millions behind the ruling of the Mysterious Town, He surely could achieve it.

"Even disregarding the ’Deception Lord,’ ’Master of Millions,’ and ’Desolate Mother,’ descending from Asgard to prevent the game character’s actions indicates that being reconsolidated by the ’Ancient Roots’ indeed made this Ancient God King, who holds the power of ’Nature,’ feel a significant threat."

The game continues.

...

"You’ve been patiently advancing step-by-step, not rushing to act, just to switch places between the physical body and the ’Tree Ancient God’ and descend from Asgard here. Once you make this connection, it’s easy to guess."

"You shrugged your shoulders and pointed out the issue directly."

"And at the same moment, the serene voice of the ’Desolate Mother’ reached your ears, her words further affirming your speculation.

"She said,

"The ’King of Nature’s true form seems to have deviated, unable to lock in for the time being, so be cautious.’"

"Heh heh heh, you’re only telling me now that the person is already right in front of me; don’t you think it’s a bit late? You thought to yourself, yet expressed gratitude and shifted your focus to the ’Tree Ancient God’ in front of you, oh, the ’King of Nature,’

"At this moment, He completely transformed, gradually becoming younger, exuding an indescribable majesty. Just a glance at Him was enough to make your head ache and your eyes bleed."

"And that’s while not being fully descended or viewed directly."

"Do not behold God’s direct gaze,

"At the same time, the clouds covering the sky became even deeper, with an illusory kingdom looming and flickering, while a floating voice came to your ears..."

"It’s done."
