The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 451 The First Appearance of Divinity

The addition of the leyline crystal core injected a new source of power into the core of the Wizard Tower, causing the previously unbalanced energy field to quickly return to stability.

David's soul and energy reached a perfect fusion at this moment, and the process of forging his divine body finally entered the final sprint stage.

With the combined efforts of the witches, David's divine body gradually took shape.

His new body not only contains immense power and mysterious abilities, but also embodies the sacrifices and dedication of the witches.

As the last wisp of energy merged into his body, the light of the Wizard Tower's core reached its peak and then slowly faded away.

David slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shining with an unprecedented light and confidence.

He felt a powerful force surging within him, as if it could destroy all obstacles and enemies.

As the light at the core of the wizard's tower slowly faded, David's divine body finally began to take shape.

However, when he slowly stood up, the witches were surprised to find that his new body was not as solid and perfect as they had imagined.

On the contrary, his physical body was translucent, as if it were carved from pure crystal, emitting a faint blue light.

David tried to move his body and found that he could easily manipulate the elements around him, whether it was fire, water, or air, they all seemed to become extensions of him.

However, when he tried to touch a physical object, his hand passed right through it, as if there was an invisible barrier separating his existence from the material world.

"How is this going?"

Amy stepped forward and carefully examined David's new body.

“This appears to be an incomplete divine body,” she explained. “Although you have successfully fused the power of multiple bloodlines, your physical body has not fully materialized, possibly for some unknown reason. You need to periodically absorb our spiritual energy to maintain this state of existence, otherwise your soul may gradually dissipate.”

Upon hearing this, David couldn't help but frown.

He knew full well what this meant—he would never be able to live like an ordinary person and would have to rely on the witches' power to sustain his life.

However, he did not complain or feel frustrated, because he knew that this was the price that had to be paid for the multiverse and their future.

The witches also began to realize that they had made enormous sacrifices in helping David attain divinity.

Amy's heart was frozen inside ice crystals due to excessive mental exertion.

She must rely on David's divine blood to thaw her heart daily, or she will lose her life forever.

Hill's situation is equally worrying.

Her petrification symptoms had spread to her neck, her skin had hardened like stone, and she had lost all sensation and mobility.

David embedded the ley line core into her chest, temporarily slowing her death, but this was only a temporary measure.

Hill's life is slipping away, and she could leave them at any moment.

Cynthia lost her most cherished fox tail.

During the process of casting illusions to create a "mental anchor," her fox tail was devoured by a powerful energy and could no longer regenerate.

However, every cloud has a silver lining, as Cynthia gained a mysterious ability called "Divine Illusion Flame".

This flame can scorch the soul, dealing a fatal blow to the enemy.

Faced with these sacrifices and costs, the witches did not feel regret or despair.

They knew this was a necessary sacrifice for a greater goal and ideal.

They hugged each other tightly, encouraging and supporting one another.

David also stepped forward and gently stroked the witches' cheeks with his translucent hands.

"Thank you for everything you've done for me," he said emotionally. "I will use my power to protect you and the future of the multiverse. I'm willing to pay any price."

In the days that followed, David began to gradually adapt to his new body and strength.

He learned how to better manipulate the elements, how to connect with the witches' spiritual power, and how to maintain his own existence.

He also began to gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries and dangers of the multiverse, preparing himself for future challenges.

However, the sacrifices and costs of the witches weighed heavily on their hearts like a mountain.

They knew these sacrifices were not a permanent solution, and they had to find a way to restore the witches' health and power.

So they began searching everywhere for possible clues and answers, hoping to find a solution.

By chance, they learned of an ancient legend—that a mysterious "Fountain of Life" lies hidden deep within the multiverse.

It is said that this spring has the magical power to heal all wounds and can bring lost lives back to life.

However, finding this spring of life is not easy; it is hidden in a dangerous and forbidden place, where only true warriors and wise men can reach it.

Upon hearing this legend, David and the witches decided to embark on a journey to find the Fountain of Life.

They knew it was a path fraught with unknowns and dangers, but they also believed that as long as they united and forged ahead, they would surely find the magical spring and restore the witches' health and strength.

So they embarked on their journey once more. They traversed vast snowfields, climbed treacherous mountains, and crossed endless oceans and deserts.

They faced various trials and dangers, but always maintained their firm beliefs and courage.

Because they know this is the effort and sacrifice that must be made for the multiverse and their future.

After countless battles and adventures, they finally arrived at the entrance to that forbidden land.

The place was filled with an atmosphere of terror and powerful enemies, but David and the witches did not back down.

They held each other's hands tightly and rushed into the forbidden area together.

Deep within the forbidden area, they endured countless hardships and life-or-death trials.

But in the end, they still found the legendary "Fountain of Life".

When the spring water touched the witches' bodies, a warm and powerful force instantly surged into them.

They felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and pleasure, as if all their pain and fatigue had been swept away.

When the witches rose from the spring, they found themselves restored to health and strength.

Amy's heart started beating again, Hill's petrification symptoms disappeared, and Cynthia's fox tail grew back.

Although David's divine body was in its initial stages of formation, he was far from being proficient in how to control this newborn power.

During a practice session attempting to gain control of his abilities, he unexpectedly triggered his first divine outburst. It was a sunny afternoon; the witches were discussing their next steps inside the wizarding tower, while David was cultivating in an open area outside.

Suddenly, his eyes became unusually bright, and a powerful chill surged from his body, instantly engulfing the entire wizard tower.

The witches stared in astonishment at what was happening before their eyes. In a very short time, the entire wizard tower was covered by a thick layer of ice crystals, and even the flames inside the tower were frozen into ice pillars.

David himself was currently suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a biting cold wind, like a living ice sculpture god.

However, this sudden burst of divinity also brought unforeseen consequences.

As David froze the wizard tower, he lost precise control of his power, and a cold energy wave accidentally struck Lia, who was watching from the sidelines.

Lia felt a bone-chilling cold instantly penetrate her body, freezing her stiff and immobilizing her.

"Lia!" David exclaimed, immediately realizing he had made a serious mistake.

He tried his best to retract his power, but the violent energy was beyond his control.

Just then, Cynthia reacted quickly and unleashed "Divine Illusionary Flame," a blazing flame that instantly struck David's core consciousness, the stinging sensation bringing him back to his senses.

David abruptly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the restless energy within him.

Finally, the violent chill began to dissipate, and the ice crystals on the wizard tower slowly melted.

He quickly flew to Lia's side and used his divine power to dispel the cold from her body.

Lia's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, but the accident still left her with a considerable shadow.

The witches gathered around, comforting Leah while also expressing concern about David's divine outburst.

They knew that while David's power was formidable, it was also extremely dangerous, and if left unchecked, it could very well lead to a similar tragedy again.

However, just as they were worrying about David's divine outburst, an even more dangerous threat was quietly approaching.

The remnants of the Shadow Council have not completely disappeared; they have been secretly watching David and the witches' movements.

Taking advantage of David's divine outburst and the witches' distraction, a group of Shadow Eater assassins infiltrated the wizard tower.

These Shadow Eater assassins are elite killers within the Shadow Council. They excel at stealth and surprise attacks, capable of killing in a very short time.

Their target was clear: the weakened Hill.

Hill had been severely injured in the previous battle. Although she was temporarily saved by the ley line crystal, her strength had been greatly diminished. The Shadow Eater assassins saw this as an excellent opportunity to eliminate this powerful enemy in one fell swoop.

As the Shadow Eater assassins stealthily approached Hill, Annie suddenly became aware of their presence.

With her keen senses and the power of the Shadow Pact, she quickly located the assassins.

However, faced with these cunning enemies, Anne did not choose to fight them head-on, but instead devised a clever plan.

She used the power of the Shadow Pact to reverse control of one of the assassins, turning him into her puppet.

Under Annie's control, the assassin suddenly turned and attacked his companions. The other assassins were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.

At this moment, Annie appeared and revealed the assassin's true identity—she was actually a defector from the Shadow Council, who had been secretly seeking an opportunity to take revenge on the council.

Although Annie managed to thwart the Shadow Eater assassins' attack in time, their appearance still served as a wake-up call for David and the witches.

They realized that the Shadow Council had not completely given up on hunting them down, and that their enemies might be far more cunning and dangerous than they had imagined.

Faced with such a threat, David made an important decision.

He decided to use his divine body for the first time to kill the enemy and protect the witches.

He leaped into the air, surrounded by a chilling aura, and launched a fierce attack on the remaining Shadow Devourer assassins.

Faced with David's divine power, the assassins appeared extremely vulnerable and were quickly killed one by one.

However, just when David thought everything was over, an even more terrifying phenomenon occurred.

The corpses of the Shadow Eater assassins who had been killed suddenly turned into wisps of black mist, which rapidly corroded the structure of the Wizard Tower.

These black mists contained the evil power of the abyss, and they seemed to be drawn to David's divinity, constantly converging on him.

David's divinity is not only powerful, but it may also become a magnet that attracts the power of the abyss!

In the following period, David continued his research on the divine body.

Meanwhile, he continued to explore the world, searching for a true way to become a seventh-ring wizard.

He then learned about the Fountain of Life.

On their journey back to the Fountain of Life, David and his team decide to traverse a mysterious region known as the Chaos Realm.

This region is an unstable area in the multiverse, filled with unknown dimensional storms and powerful energy fluctuations.

Although it is a shortcut, it is also fraught with unpredictable dangers.

Knowing full well the difficulty of this journey, the witches began to make preparations in earnest.

Amy used her ice magic to create a sturdy ice ship for the team to withstand the storm.
Hill then communicated with the earth, trying to find a relatively stable route;

Cynthia then used illusion magic to create a series of illusions for the team to confuse any potential enemies they might encounter.

David stood at the bow of the ice ship, gazing at the indistinct, chaotic boundary ahead.

He could feel the powerful energy fluctuations constantly impacting his divinity, making him both excited and nervous.

He knew that this journey would be a severe test of his newly acquired divine power.

As the ice ship entered the Chaos Realm, a violent dimensional storm instantly swept in.

The storm contained various chaotic elemental forces that intertwined and collided, forming terrifying vortexes.

The ice ship was violently rocked in the storm, as if it could be torn to pieces at any moment.

The witches used all their magic to try to stabilize the ice ship and withstand the storm.

However, at that moment, an even more powerful force suddenly surged out from the storm and launched a direct attack on the ice ship.

"It's the enemy!" Amy shouted. "Prepare for battle!"

Suddenly, a group of knights clad in black armor and riding ghostly warhorses burst out of the storm, wielding gleaming blades, and launched a fierce charge against the ice ship.
