Chapter 1368: Xiuban's Daughter
The little beastman grinned, and ran towards Xiuban as fast as possible with his short legs, while he shouted loudly, "Mom… Mom…"
Lin Yun's eyes were cramping. Unlike others, he recognized that the little beastman was speaking the language of gods…
The shock on Enderfa's face was gradually replaced by surprise and admiration.
"Damn, what did Xiuban do? Did he sleep with a god?"
"What a terrifying guy. He has somehow turned a god into his son, no, his daughter…"
"We'd better not yell at Xiuban in the future. He has a god for daughter right now. It's truly difficult to predict what stupid people would do…"
Enderfa's three faces were shocked. He kept himself as far away from the little beastman as possible, as if he had seen a viper.
Obviously, Lin Yun didn't approach it any longer. Danason and Levis had cautiously stopped too. They had no idea what was going on. However, one of the holy light mages was so bold that he forgot his fear. He thought the same as Dalton…
He believed that Dalton's death was purely a surprise caused by a burp, and that the little beastman had no strength left at all…
Therefore, the level-3 Heaven Rank holy light mage charged at the little beastman in a streak of light.
Lin Yun cautiously stepped back, with sympathy on his face. All of Enderfa's three faces were looking at the holy light mage as if he were a pure idiot.
"This is a guy who's even dumber than Xiuban."
"No. Stop saying that Xiuban is dumb. Very few people can be as remarkably dumb as Xiuban. Be careful. Xiuban might let his child beat us…"
Lin Yun moved hundreds of meters back. Then, he didn't think it was safe enough, and moved another 1,000 meters back.
What a stupid guy. That little beastman clearly carries Xiuban's bloodline. Nobody is going to take her away. It is her instinct to approach Xiuban. Whoever stands in her way will be her mortal enemy. If anyone wants to kill himself, just stop the little beastman. It'll be the fastest way to suicide. Even your soul will be destroyed too.
Danason and Levis had both been tempted. However, Levis felt that something was wrong when he saw Lin Yun backed off. Then, he cautiously moved back too. Danason followed him. After all, neither of them wanted to die as miserably as Dalton.
At this moment, the holy light mage had approached the little beastman. When he was about to touch the little beastman, the latter, who had the innocent eyes of a baby, suddenly went berserk. Her black eyes were filled with gray air, and she waved her chubby fists, and punched the holy light mage…
Her movement was as clumsy as a child's, but nobody was in the mood to laugh…
A little bit of gray air exploded from the little beastman's fist, and turned into a gray pillar of light that was more than three meters thick, enshrouding the holy light mage immediately. The pillar of light disappeared in less than one second, and the level-3 Heaven Rank holy light mage was nowhere to be seen.
That was much more complete than the purge of holy light. The man had been completely annihilated, from his body to his soul. Not even any of his bones were left.
Immediately, all the living Heaven Rank experts were dripping cold sweat. Even Lin Yun had cold sweat on his forehead too.
Luckily, he had been hiding in the distance in another direction. He would've been killed instantly if he'd got accidentally involved.
Unlike other people, Lin Yun knew very well that the 73rd God was meant to be resurrected. However, he was somehow reborn with Xiuban's bloodline.
After a moment of consideration, the greatest possibility that Lin Yun came up with was that the defense on the surface of the egg was not established by a god in his prime state. The defense could block anything except the power of gods, such as air, mana, items, living creatures…
Xiuban's blood, which contained the power of gods, unexpectedly passed through the defense during the battle, and disrupted the 73rd God's plan of resurrection. He was forced to be reborn. In the process, the 73rd God had probably even lost his consciousness. This little beastman was a completely newborn baby.
But thanks to the strength that was accumulated for resurrection, the 73rd God had transformed into a 10-year-old beastman immediately after rebirth, and had surely digested a lot of the accumulated strength. Having just been born, he had the greatest natural instincts and remaining power. Whoever stood in his way would be killed…
Even though he was only as strong as an Archmage at this moment, it shouldn't be a problem for him to break the defense of a level-3 Heaven Rank holy light mage. The power of holy light was nothing but air in front of the power of gods…
The little beastman had only waved his fist casually, and the level-3 Heaven Rank expert had been completely destroyed. Who else dared to approach?
Nobody stood in their way anyway. The little beastman joyfully wobbled towards Xiuban, who was almost frightened. Xiuban had always been inert, and didn't realize what was going on.
The little beastman had killed two Heaven Rank mages in a row since she[1] appeared. Also, that level-5 Heaven Rank mage didn't seem possible to kill, but he perished.
Now that the terrifying beastman was charging at him, Xiuban actually controlled himself quite well by not pissing his pants…
Xiuban turned around, and was about to run when Lin Yun warned him. "Idiot, don't move, or you will die!"
Hearing that, Xiuban, who had always been scared of death, looked back at the little beastman, and closed his eyes in desperation.
Damn it, Sir Merlin can't be tricking me. If I move, I'll die, so I can't move. If I don't move, this horrifying little creature won't be able to see me…
Yes, she can't see me, she can't possibly see me…
Xiuban closed his eyes desperately, and his face was twisted and pale. Then, all of a sudden, he felt that something clutched his thigh.
"Mom… Mom…" the little beastman called out. Then, Xiuban lost all hope, and waited for his death with his eyes closed, but he was still alive after a long time. He finally opened his eyes, and glanced at the little beastman by his leg.
As he expected, the little beastman was holding his thigh, and didn't kill him.
Damn it, Sir Merlin wasn't lying. If I don't move, I won't die. It seems that this little creature only kills things that move. But it's fine. I can stay still for an entire year. Little creature, let's find out who's more patient.
Xiuban gritted his teeth, and stood still like a statue…
The little beastman held Xiuban's leg for a long time, only to find that Xiuban didn't move at all. Then, the little beastman snatched a bottle of Health Potion. She sniffed, and then bit apart the cover of the bottle. She then swallowed the Health Potion, and even the bottle as snacks.
After swallowing the Health Potion, the little beastman didn't stop. She didn't grin in satisfaction until after she swallowed more than 30 bottles. Then, she hung herself on Xiuban's leg like a koala and fell asleep.
Xiuban held his head high. He felt sorry for the loss, but didn't dare to move at all.
In the distance, Lin Yun finally took a breath of relief. He looked at Xiuban's behavior, and almost laughed aloud.
Enderfa was already laughing.
"Goddamn it, how many bottles of Health Potion has Xiuban saved?"
"Just look at his face. When this little beastman found the Health Potions that he had been hiding, it was like his flesh had been cut off…"
"It's only because he's scared of death. Merlin said that if he moved, he'd die, so he surely won't move no matter how regretful he is…"
As long as he wouldn't die, Xiuban could hold it back even if his flesh had to be cut off. Usually, he would fight anyone who laid hands on his Health Potions, but he did not dare to say anything at this moment.
The little beastman had finally fallen asleep while clinging to Xiuban's leg. Then, Xiuban finally looked at Lin Yun in desperation, and cried in a lowered voice.
"Sir Merlin, help… Help me…"
This turn of events was too surprising. That was how Danason and Levis felt. They had no idea what had happened. However, neither of them was blind. They could easily tell that the little beastman was Xiuban's child. They were almost identical except for their difference in size.
The reborn god carried someone else's bloodline, and that person was still alive…
This had never been recorded in history. Nobody had even considered the possibility. After all, a god couldn't just be thrown into a creature's body during the rebirth. Rather, they had to loot another creature's bloodline and conceive themselves. No creature was powerful enough to conceive a reborn god.
This was a whole new case. Nobody could take the little beastman away when she was connected to someone by blood. Whoever dared to do that would be killed.
Even if anyone was lucky enough to take and contract her, they'd better pray that the human mages' contract could bind a reborn god, or else they had to be prepared for the most brutal revenge. Nobody wanted to face the fury caused by blood connection.
Danason and Levis didn't know what to do. The reborn god was no longer an option. They wouldn't dare to take her away, even if she was offered to them.
Danason looked at Lin Yun with a complicated expression.
I didn't know that Mafa Merlin would be the greatest winner in the end. What a terrifying guy. How did he do it? He took away all the stone pillars. I thought we would have the reborn god in the end. All the three forces had been most vigilant of him.
But in the end, Mafa Merlin turned the reborn god into his possession through bloodline connection that couldn't be terminated. How did he do it? None of us noticed anything. What a terrifying man…
Right now, the reborn god already belongs to him. We'd better not piss him off again. This reborn god is so strong. She's already 10 after she's just been born. Also, she has killed Dalton.
It won't take long for the reborn god to rise to the peak of the Heaven Rank. It's possible that she would even ignite the God Fire.
Levis' eyes glittered. He suddenly realized something, and looked at Lin Yun with admiration.
What a terrifying man. That god was probably really waiting to be resurrected, but the resurrection was disrupted by Mafa Merlin. He somehow directed the beastman's blood into the egg, and forced the god to be reborn.
It's truly great. The scheme of the god's resurrection has been disrupted, and he has stolen the reborn god from us. It is impossible to cut off the bloodline connection of the reborn god.
Considering his strength and wisdom, it shouldn't be difficult for him to raise the reborn god to be strong enough to ignite the God Fire. Mafa Merlin is even more terrifying than the existence who's destined to ignite the God Fire…
We'd never offend such a man. It's impossible for the Storm Tower to resist an expert who has ignited the God Fire.
Right now, the most important thing was to make friends with Mafa Merlin…
Levis looked at the surviving holy light mages with a cold expression.
"Kill those goddamn holy light mages!" Levis gave the command, and flew out. He attacked in person as a level-5 Heaven Rank expert, with other Heaven Rank mages of the Storm Tower. Before anyone realized what was going on, a holy light mage had been torn into shreds.
Having lost Dalton and multiple more experts, the Holy Light Alliance couldn't resist the attacks at all.
In only one minute, two guys had been ripped apart by Levis. On the other side, Danason's eyes glittered. He seemed to have realized something too, and charged with his Snake Tail Beast.
The two level-5 Heaven Rank experts had taken action in person against the holy light mages who were no stronger than level 3 of the Heaven Rank. Additionally, the other members of the Chester Family and the Storm Tower were attacking too, so the result was obvious.
In only several minutes, everybody of the Holy Light Alliance had died. All evidence and records had been destroyed. The space rings and magic tools that the holy light mages carried were all destroyed in case they had recorded anything that happened…
Wearing a playful smile, Lin Yun watched Levis and Danason. He didn't say anything or participate.
A few minutes later, the Holy Light Alliance was done. Levis flew back to Lin Yun, and made a vow without any ado.
"I swear on the fate of the Storm Tower, my soul, my mana, and my everything that I will not divulge anything that happened here in any way!"
Levis made a vow quickly. After that, the vow was etched in the laws that Levis controlled. Nobody could change the vow, until the day that Levis ignited the God Fire, and had the power to change laws and erase his vow from the laws, but then this vow wouldn't matter.
After Levis made the vow, the other people of the Storm Tower made the vow too.
Danason was quite shocked, not expecting Levis to be so decisive. He was already surprised to see Levis kill the members of the holy light alliance, but found it understandable. He didn't know why Levis swore with such a high price…
However, seeing the friendly smile on Lin Yun's face, Xiuban who was behind Lin Yun, and the little beastman that was hanging on Xiuban's leg like a koala, Danason understood everything.
He glanced at Levis, and couldn't help but feel that he wasn't as smart as that guy…
Levis is truly a terrifying man. It's said that he's being groomed as the next leader of the Storm Tower. The Storm Tower will surely grow more powerful under his command. Also, he has won Mafa Merlin's appreciation. If the Storm Tower is ever in trouble, Mafa Merlin won't ignore his cry for help…
Their cooperation will surely be established. There's no stopping the Storm Tower's rise. With the Gilded Rose's help, the Storm Tower will be able to press forward on the Boundless Sea.
Levis had done everything first. Even though the result was the same, he still left a better impression. At this moment, Danason didn't have a choice except to swear together. Even the price of his swear couldn't be lower than Levis'.
After they swore, it meant that they acknowledged the ownership of the reborn 73rd God.
Danason wore a complicated expression, but Levis seemed at ease. He raised his thumb at Lin Yun.
"Sir Merlin, you have my admiration. I'd always wanted to pay you a visit and talk about cooperation, but I was always busy with other matters. I didn't expect to meet you here, Sir Merlin.
"I've been very curious about you ever since I learned of your rise, Sir Merlin, and I've always wanted to meet you. It was not until I finally met you that I realized you're much stronger than you're described. You're much smarter too. I do admire you.
"I hope that the Storm Tower and the Gilded Rose may cooperate extensively after we leave here. To be honest, the Blue Demon Potion, the Luminosity Potion, and the Golden Crown Potion that the Gilded Rose produced are all groundbreaking masterpieces…"
[1] I think the author is confused about gender because "he" was reborn as "she." Or maybe there's some point to it.
