The Era of Gods Chapter 162 – Move Aside, I’m About to Start Cheating

Chapter 162: Move Aside, I’m About to Start Cheating

The so-called Avatar is an incarnation that a Demigod or stronger conjures with a sliver of Divinity and a wisp of consciousness at its core, gathering a great amount of Divine Power.

This applies to entities below Demigods; if it were a True God’s Avatar, it would be different.

The strength of an Avatar is related to the Divinity and Divine Power. The amount of Divine Power carried over during the condensation of the Avatar determines its might.

The Semi-god Vampire didn’t seem to carry much Divine Power. Although the aura it emitted was strong, they didn’t feel much of a threat.

However, for Yu Xiu, who was far away, the moment the Semi-god Vampire Descend occurred, it felt as if his head was smashed by a sledgehammer, losing consciousness for a full ten seconds. When he came to, his face was as pale as paper. He hastily pocketed his monocular and turned to flee.

Lin Xiao and his companions were Divine Beings, possessing Divinity of their own and could ignore the coercion of Demigods, but Yu Xiu was just an ordinary person, a mere mortal in their eyes.

Any mortal facing a Demigod must pass a round of willpower checks.

Clearly, his willpower check was not up to par, leaving him stunned for a good ten seconds. Using gaming terms, that was the equivalent of being unable to attack or defend for many rounds, meaning certain death in combat.

As for Yu Xiu’s Half Beastman subordinates, they fared even worse, scattering in all directions out of fear after failing their willpower checks.

This was only a Demigod; if it were the Avatar of a True God, failing the willpower check would have different consequences depending on the True God’s alignment and volition.

If the True God was an Evil God, it would most likely trigger instant Death, with the soul harvested by the Avatar of the Evil God.

If the descending entity was not an Evil God, there was a high chance of a forceful mental and willpower alteration, turning the victim into a Fanatic Believer.

Of course, these were the worst cases, aimed only at those with wavering wills. Professionals with relatively firm willpower would be like Yu Xiu, stricken with fear or stunned.

After fleeing to a small hilltop, Yu Xiu was about to take out a whistle to gather his panicked Half Beastmen when his wristband vibrated slightly. He tapped it and a familiar projection of a middle-aged man appeared saying,

“Where are you now?”

Yu Xiu replied,

“I’m just outside Alfonso City.”

“The company has new orders for you, leave Alfonso immediately and head to the Redstone Plateau Eagle Beak Gorge near the border between the Vampire Kingdom and the Human Kingdom. The company has established a camp there.”

“Also, don’t pass through any cities on your way.”

The middle-aged man further advised,

“Students from the Super Newcomer Summer Camp are currently undergoing training in this Aborigines Plane, and all the Vampire Lords are their targets. They’re likely to attack the city directly, so avoid getting involved.”

Yu Xiu looked towards the massive cloud of blood that had risen over the city, took a gulp from his flask to calm his nerves, shrugged and said,

“There’s no need for estimates—the attack on Alfonso has already begun. The city was breached in less than half an hour, and now even a Semi-god Vampire Incarnation has descended. The scale of the battle is colossal.”

“Wait a minute!”

The middle-aged man raised his hand to pause, quickly asking,

“Did you say a Semi-god Vampire has sent down an Incarnation?”

“Yeah, any problem with that, Supervisor?”

The so-called Supervisor’s face lit up with a hint of joy as he said,

“Then hurry back there, and find a way to acquire the bit of Divinity that makes up the Demigod’s Incarnation.”

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of liquor sprayed out, and Yu Xiu covered his mouth as his eyes rolled,

“Supervisor, are you joking? How am I supposed to get that bit of Divinity?

With my strength, should I use my head to snatch it?”

The middle-aged man also realized this and hurriedly explained,

“I’m not asking you to steal it. Wait until they defeat the Semi-god Vampire, then approach them in the company’s name to buy that bit of Divinity. I’ll instruct you on what to say then.”

Yu Xiu fell silent. Honestly, he wanted to refuse the order, but he couldn’t; to do so would spell trouble for his future career.

Fortunately, it was just about passing a message; no action was required on his part, so the danger was minimal. He nodded and said,

“I can go, but I’ll have to wait until they’re done fighting and it’s safe before I head over.”

“Alright, once you complete this mission, you will be promoted to First Level authority and assigned to a better and more relaxed position,”

The supervisor made such a promise, and only then did Yu Xiu feel completely satisfied. He forcefully blew his whistle to summon his Half Beastman subordinates.

Meanwhile, not far from Alfonso City, Shen Yuexin and Lin Xu also made their appearance at the same time when the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation appeared. She reached out with a grab and a whip that shimmered with blazing white lightning appeared in her hand. She flicked the whip lightly, and it rapidly extended hundreds of meters, cracking the void with a snappy sound. She called out,

“We should make this quick, to avoid unnecessary complications.”

Swelling in size, he transformed into a colossal Naga over thirty meters tall, resembling the Supreme Naga with a human upper body and snake tail, but his entire body was covered with golden scales that glittered in the light. With an outstretched hand, he conjured a forty-meter-long Pure Gold Spear.

This was booty acquired from a Snake People Demigod during his final exams. As a weapon of a Demigod, it was undoubtedly a fine item. Having cleansed it of the spiritual branding left by the Snake People Demigod with his Divine Power, it had now become his own weapon.

Lin Xu’s weapon, on the other hand, was a lavishly designed Golden Bow. As he drew the bowstring, an arrow made purely of the Power of Faith slowly took shape.

The power of his bow depended entirely on how much Power of Faith was consumed to form the arrow—the more invested, the greater the power.

With their weapons revealed, Lin Xiao knew it was his turn to act. He stomped on the void, creating a ripple that exploded from thin air, and then transformed into a golden light that darted towards the Blood Realm spread by the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation.

It was quite a coincidence that the Vampire Demi-god also possessed a Blood Realm, but it was stronger than that of the Snake People’s. He could feel that this Blood Realm included an aging law as well.

If a mortal were to enter this Blood Realm, not only would the blood in their body boil or be forcibly extracted, but they would also be weakened due to the influence of the aging law.

The aging law doesn’t actually age a person; aging in this sense refers to actualizing a state of weakness similar to what one experiences when life naturally wanes, which involves the Supreme Time Law.

The Blood Realm does not simply cause one’s blood to boil or forcibly extract it—those are just the most common and powerful manifestations of the blood law. The comprehensive blood law refers to the control of blood; to ordinary people, the most terrifying aspect would be to have all their blood forcibly drained or to have it boil as if it were being scorched.

These are all applications of the blood law, control at the level of laws, against which mortals simply cannot defend. This is the chasm-like disparity between gods and mortals.

Only Deities can contend against other Deities, and though Lin Xiao and his companions were not yet Demigods and lacked Godhood, their potent Divinity, combined with the Power of Faith, could neutralize the effect of the laws.

Of course, Legendary beings who have just started engaging with laws can also forcefully resist the influence of field laws for a short time.

It’s worth noting that the term “Legendary beings” differs from “Legendary fighters.”

“Legendary beings” refers to the level of a troop, with Transcendent beings of Rank 6 and Rank 7 and Legendary beings of Rank 8 and Rank 9, indicating that beings of such levels are as powerful as legends.

However, “Legendary fighters” refers to mortals who have begun to master the power of law and possess god-like legendary characteristics, having reached the threshold of Rank 8 in the Main World’s assessment amidst the myriad mortal beings of the Void Sea Crystal Wall System. In terms of physical constitution or abilities, there isn’t much difference between the two, but the key distinction lies in their mastery over laws.

For instance, both Legendary beings and Legendary fighters might have a strength of one hundred, and both can deal a strike equivalent to fifty points of damage to an enemy with a constitution of fifty when exerting full force. However, a Legendary fighter who has mastered laws can leverage the power of laws to inflict damage that multiplies the base fifty, or they might employ the power of laws to bypass an enemy’s defense and inflict full damage directly.

Or to put it another way, even a zero-level deity with Weak Divine Power could, with their supernatural abilities, instantly eliminate a Rank 8 or even Rank 9 Legendary being, but not a Rank 8 Legendary fighter who has mastered the laws.

Of course, this applies to most cases and does not include certain abnormal Legendary beings, such as Dragons with innate talent anomalies that defy standard logic.

Beyond that, if a being can ascend to Rank 10, there is no differentiation between ordinary beings and Legendary fighters; at this level, beings will undoubtedly possess transcendent characteristics comparable to legendary rules and have preposterously powerful abilities.

This Duke of Vampires named Alfonso is actually a Legendary Vampire, not a true Legendary fighter who has mastered the laws.

To distinguish, they usually refer to those who have mastered the laws as “True Legends” or “Legendary fighters,” characterized with the title of fighter.

But this only applies to those from the Main World. In many Natives Planes, powerful beings who reach Rank 8 through bloodline talents are also referred to as legends, and the classifications are quite chaotic.

Nevertheless, they understand that these Rank 8 Legend Vampire Dukes who attain their power through bloodline talents are not true legends.

“Boom!”

Lin Xiao charged into the Blood Realm like a shell, his Divine Power clashing with the realm’s energy, detonating a terrifying blast that tore off a large section of the Blood Realm enveloping the city.

He thrust forward with his Pure Gold Spear, and the golden transparent light entwined around it formed a triangular reverse cone at the spear’s tip. It tore through the thick blood effortlessly, as a knife through butter, and a massive golden figure pierced straight into the vast expanse of the Blood Realm.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuexin, who had flown to the edge of the Blood Realm, lifted her Forbidden Whip with a fierce swing. The bright white Lightning Whip suddenly surged in size, endlessly stretching and transforming into a lightning pillar thicker than a human being, smashing into the Blood Realm. In an instant, the whip’s brightness exploded with countless tiny lightning bolts spreading in all directions, and the purifying power of the lightning instantaneously cleansed the Blood Realm within the range of these fine bolts.

In comparison to her overwhelmingly powerful whip strike, Lin Xu’s approach was very understated—so much so that he hadn’t made a move at all.

From the beginning, he had been accumulating power, with a Golden Arrow nocked on the bowstring drawn, but he had yet to release it..
