--- Chapter 355 ---
The Tiny World's trembling. Oceana could feel her entire being disgusted by the presence of the Three Phantom Lords. They are like cancers that invaded her body for no reason.
The sky and ocean have gotten corrupted, which was horrible for her.
Oceana stared at Huo Yuhao and couldn't help but ask, "Yuhao-sama, are you expecting them from the beginning?"
"Yes," said Huo Yuhao calmly. "Saint Juke and the Great Tan Dukes are merely a distraction."
"Why do you think I let him summon and control the Great Fang Matter Beast? He's killing his own people, which were intruders to you."
Huo Yuhao shrugged and added nonchalantly. "I'm trying to do the bare minimum here. They are dead, and the forbidden beast is 'quickly' neutralized. It's a win-win situation for us."
"I..." Oceana was speechless.
So, you're letting them destroy themselves.
Isn't this scheme too cruel?
Huo Yuhao noticed Oceana's look of pity and commented, "Kindness to your enemies meant being cruel to yourself. You know very well that if I'm not here, they will destroy this timeline and ruin it forever."
"Also, haven't you requested me to eliminate them earlier?"
Oceana shut her mouth. Yes, she was being too sensitive.
Those villains died for good.
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay. I know the world's spirit is always innocent in life. You're no different."
"Looks like the Phantom Lords are struggling." Huo Yuhao looked down from the sky, watching Kuina dice the armored giant to pieces again.
"I didn't know she could be so strong." Oceana's eyes widened as she knew Kuina was Tiny World's native.
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Because Kuina died too early in the earliest timeline, which buried her potential forever."
Oceana regretted something after hearing that. "If I had known that, I'd have blessed her with Tiny World's essence. It would protect her life."
"Blessing? There is such a thing?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
Oceana lifted her nose proudly, "I don't want to brag, but Tiny World has a special privilege, which I could use to increase heaven's chosen growth and chance of survival."
"The Tiny World's essence contained immeasurable luck, protecting those who owned it from grave danger."
"I have used them for Joyboy and Roger a few times."
'Ah, so plot armor. Got it.' Huo Yuhao thought while clicking his tongue. He expected super duper 'amazing' stuff, but a luck boost like this is still reasonable.
Not to mention, Huo Yuhao is the God of Fortune.
He knew nearly everything about luck was 'naturally' connected to destiny and fate. The underlying is how much luck one must possess to affect the latter.
Being a protagonist is one of them.
All of a sudden, the sound of a thunderclap startled Oceana.
Oceana turned around and saw Raikou dancing in the sky, flickering with blue lightning arcs. She faced countless phantom bats and killed them with a blue laser beam condensed from pure thunder energy.
"So strong!" Oceana said out loud.
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, 'Why did you sound so surprised? People from your world could decimate a mountain or island if they wanted to.'
Raikou clapped her hand, creating a thunderclap. She gathered pure thunder energy before unleashing it in a straight line.
She even changed her hand's shape, which caused the laser-like ray to separate and kill more bats. She was experimenting with her power.
"Kuina and Raikou would be done in a moment..." Huo Yuhao commented lightly. "As for the rest, it might be a little challenging."
Oceana tilted her head in confusion, "Didn't you say the Phantom Lord couldn't beat your goddesses earlier? You even added, and I quote, "Not even close." after that."
Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "Yes, I said that. However, I never said they would be an easy opponent for them."
"Phantoms are tricky enemies. And Phantom Lord is even trickier."
"The ladies knew this fact and searched for loopholes in the Phantom Lord's conduct."
"Just watch."
"Is that so..." Oceana dazed by Huo Yuhao's overbearing confidence.
...
...
Huang Qiu'er watched countless crimson tornados calmly. From her sense, these tornadoes were 'directly' made by the Phantom Lord's powers.
Each tornado carried an immense amount of blood, which made Huang Qiu'er narrow her eyes because her Golden Dragon Spear wanted to absorb this blood for nourishment.
If Huang Qiu'er didn't hold tight, the Golden Dragon Spear might fly off to the tornado.
She turned her right hand into the dragon's hand and swung the Golden Dragon Spear, creating a golden energy blast.
SWOOOSH!'
The crimson tornado clashed with the golden energy blast.
Huang Qiu'er calmly watched for a second before saying, "Explode."
BOOOM!
One crimson tornado was 'successfully' destroyed by the attack. It got reduced to nothingness.
Yet a few breaths later, the crimson tornado returned and became much more powerful. Not only did it reach one hundred meters tall, but it also released a terrifying might that could shred things apart.
No, we are not talking about shredding 'normal' things apart.
We are talking about God's divine sense.
Huang Qiu'er analyzed this aspect and mumbled, "Anti-divine power, which is quite annoying. I can't use the Golden Dragon Spear's energy to destroy the tornado now."
The Golden Dragon Spear released a faint light.
Huang Qiu'er glanced at it, "Fine, I will get you the blood energy, so stop whining. Aren't you supposed to be an Ultra Divine Tool?"
The Golden Dragon Spear becomes dimmer before flickering with a red and dark light as if it complained to Huang Qiu'er.
After being close to Huang Qiu'er for over eight years, the Golden Dragon Spear has developed a strong familiarity with its wielder. It has grown a weapon's spirit, showing just how high its potential is as the Ultra Divine Tool made by the Golden Dragon King's rib bone.
There are also seals on the Golden Dragon Spear, and Huang Qiu'er has unlocked some of them, finding some secrets about the Golden Dragon King and Dragon God.
Since Huang Qiu'er couldn't use any divine-related powers and skills, she could only rely on her old spirit ability and devil fruit. The latter has never gotten rusty due to her constant usage over the past years.
There is also Divine Might, which is technically not Divine Power. The one Huo Yuhao developed is more like a modified version of Omnipotence.
Instantly, the aura around Huang Qiu'er changed. Unlike her graceful and cold aura earlier, the current aura felt like a sharp yet terrifying spear that could strike everything down.
"Restrain your divine aura. I don't want to waste my effort," said Huang Qiu'er while positioning the Golden Dragon Spear before him.
The spear quickly lost its divine lustra, becoming just a durable weapon for Huang Qiu'er.
Huang Qiu'er breathed in, feeling Yellow Dragon's power course in her vein but not leaking out. She gazed forward before thrusting with all her might.
A golden light flushed out, creating a curtain in the air.
SWOOOOOOSH! BOOOOOM!!
The sea and sky parted into two. The same goes for the crimson tornado, which lost its power upon contact with the magnificent spear attack.
Yes, that was just a 'normal' spear thrust. However, it was unbelievably fast and decisive, causing the air to explode by its momentum alone.
With this mastery alone, Huang Qiu'er has qualified to become Spear Goddess.
Unfortunately, she can't become one with Scathach around.
Huang Qiu'er noticed a flicker of disturbance in space-time, "Got you."
She kicked the air and appeared a few kilometers away, stabbing into thin air.
BOOM!
SPLAT!
The Golden Dragon Spear pierced through an invisible enemy.
"Absorb." Huang Qiu'er commanded, permitting the spear to absorb the invisible enemy's blood energy.
"AAAAAAAAAARRGHHH!"
A blood-curdling roar echoed, revealing a skinny monster hybrid of a man and a wolf.
"Y-You, how did you..."
"Damn it. The fortune teller's prediction is wrong!"
"You wanted to kill me? Then, I will take you down to hell!"
"Glory to the Phantom Emperor..." The monster hybrid gritted his teeth and started emitting a dangerous energy.
"Yellow Dragon's Rock Solid Body."
Clank!
A fierce explosion erupted and hit Huang Qiu'er, but what comes is just a metal-clashing noise.
Huang Qiu'er appeared from the explosion unscathed. The surrounding area returned to normal, and the crimson tornado became food for the Golden Dragon Spear.
"Phantom Emperor..." Huang Qiu'er whispered to herself.
"Looks like there are more than three Phantom Lords in this invasion."
