CHAPTER 1025: CHAPTER 531: DIVINE TOWER

At the moment Olivia stood up, Rod saw a flash of golden text on Star Square.

[Possibility of obtaining an enormous amount of Divinity]

Great!

Rod’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

After all these days of effort, he had been waiting for this moment.

My more than a thousand Divinity is desperately yearning!

Rod knew well that storing Divinity without using it wouldn’t make it grow; it had to be expended to gain more.

The team’s morale was high, and the harvest from this endeavor far exceeded expectations; returning to the Royal City would surely astound everyone.

They would be rewarded with immense honor and Trolian would become even stronger because of them, and the revival of humanity would also take a big step forward because of them.

In this invigorated atmosphere, the team quickly set off.

All the lanterns were lit, everyone was full of energy, ready to face this last battle.

So, in the Black Fog-shrouded Sagus Ancient City, a brightly lit team tore through the dreadful veil and plunged straight into its heart—the Divine Tower.

Thanks to Rod’s efforts, on the way to the Divine Tower, the team encountered no obstacles, everything was clear sailing. Regardless of the dangerous places like Divine Presence Avenue, Divine Church, Sacrifice Road, all became incredibly quiet.

Even in areas filled with filth, there was no sign of rolling pollution anymore.

Olivia, who was originally ready for battle, was surprised not to encounter a single monster and couldn’t help exclaiming.

"Little Rod, you’ve done much better than I imagined. It’s hard to imagine such potential in your slender body."

Rod smiled, "Your Excellency Olivia, it’s nothing compared to what you did in the Arena District and the Divine District. These areas aren’t very troublesome."

Olivia glanced at him, her deep blue eyes a bit complex: "It’s a pity you’re too small..."

Rod was startled: "Too small? My age?"

Olivia looked at him sideways and answered, "Of course, your age, what else?"

With a puff, several people in the team laughed out loud.

Rod finally realized, his face instantly turned bright red.

"No, that’s not what I meant..."

Riegel shouted loudly: "No laughing! Lord Rod is very big, very robust, very strong!"

This only had the opposite effect, with only a few chuckles, suddenly half the team was laughing.

Mephit, who usually didn’t speak in the team, suddenly asked, "You tested it?"

The laughter grew even louder.

Riegel stood with his hands on his hips, fearlessly replied, "I did, so what?"

Amidst the uproarious laughter, Ye Feng flew over and gave him a solid kick: "Shut up, idiot!"

Riegel was knocked over embarrassingly, but still not satisfied, turned around angrily: "Big brother, why did you kick me? I was backing up Brother Rod! No one should mock him!"

In this incredibly awkward moment, Rod really wished he could grasp a time-reversing Star so this would never have happened.

On the other side of the team, Professor Barrett glanced at them, somewhat dissatisfied with their playful atmosphere:

"This is outrageous, how can a team about to fight be so relaxed? What kind of team is Olivia leading? I’m going to have a word with the King when we get back."

Professor Bins spoke mildly, "Barrett, I think this might not be Olivia’s doing."

Professor Barrett stared at him: "Then whose doing is it?"

"You know who."

"Rod?"

"Yes."

"You mean..."

"Have you ever seen such a scene before?"

Professor Barrett recalled, in his memory, not to mention in such a dangerous area as Sagus City, even in the Safe Zone, when warriors were heading towards the monster nests, their expressions were solemn, the atmosphere heavy, filled with determination for a do-or-die battle.

Sometimes the atmosphere would be slightly relaxed, but such a time filled with laughter was absolutely unprecedented.

"You mean it was he who brought about this change?"

Professor Barrett pondered.

"The warriors believe they will surely win, and even if they meet an unfortunate end, humanity will have a future filled with glory; whereas before, it was filled with peril, even if they sacrificed themselves to complete the task, they could not ensure a future for humanity."

Professor Bins succinctly said, "He turned despair into hope."

Professor Barrett was silent for a moment, and suddenly he also smiled.

"Indeed, I think so too. We truly have hope now."

At the very front of the team, Olivia in her deep blue armor was thinking the same:

"Yes, we’ve stepped out of a suffocating despair, the clouds that loomed over Trolian have been pierced, I’ve never felt hope so close, that golden light seems almost within reach."

She glanced back, seeing the little fellow still red-faced, looking very unhappy.

"Hee-hee, he’s rather cute."

She thought secretly.

"I might find time to test him, hoping he’s not as small as his age."

"Hmm... I should have another child..."

With such thoughts in mind, they finally arrived before the Divine Tower.

These were two gigantic twin towers, jet black and seamless, like two straight black Giant Swords piercing through the dark clouds.
