Chapter 474 The Tyrant's Wrath

However, just as they were preparing to leave the orc wasteland, a mysterious power suddenly descended upon them.

This force felt both strange and familiar to them, as if it were some kind of call connected to their bloodline.

“What kind of power is this?” Cynthia asked in confusion.

She felt this power resonating with her bloodline, as if guiding them toward some unknown direction.

Lia frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This power seems to be related to the Star-Eyed Clan. Could it be that the ancestors of the Star-Eyed Clan are summoning us?"

Cynthia's heart stirred as she recalled the legend Liliana had once told about the ancestors of the Star-Eyed Clan.

Could it be that they were truly summoned by the ancestors of the Star-Eyed Clan?

So they decided to follow the guidance of this force and head towards the unknown.

They knew this might be a dangerous road, but it might also hold the answers they had been searching for.

Lena and Amy stayed inside the Wizard Tower, focusing intently on analyzing the stabilization mechanism of the Ice Divine Crystal.

This is a complex and challenging task that requires them to invest a great deal of time and energy.

The Frost Divine Crystal is one of the materials necessary for Cynthia to condense her divine body, but its stability has always been a problem.

If this problem cannot be solved, Cynthia may face enormous risks in the process of condensing her divine body.

Lena and Amy worked day and night, consulting numerous ancient books and documents, and conducting countless experiments and tests.

However, the stability problem of the Ice Divine Crystal has never been solved.

“This is too difficult!” Amy said, somewhat frustrated.

She looked at the crystallized ice in her hand, her eyes filled with helplessness.

Lena took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

“We cannot give up. Cynthia is still waiting for us. Only by solving this problem can she safely condense her divine body.”

Amy nodded and cheered herself up.

She knew Lena was right.

They cannot give up; they must continue to work hard.

So they threw themselves back into their demanding work.

They kept trying new methods and ideas, hoping to find the key to solving the problem of the stability of the ice divine crystals.

After countless failures and attempts, they finally made some progress.

They discovered a special magic array that could effectively stabilize the energy fluctuations of the ice divine crystal.

This discovery thrilled them, as if they had seen the dawn of success.

"Great! We found it!" Lena exclaimed excitedly.

She looked at Amy, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Amy smiled happily, and they hugged each other tightly.

They knew that this discovery would provide crucial support for Cynthia's path to godhood.

They had to tell Cynthia and the others the good news as soon as possible.

However, just as they were about to leave the wizard tower, a powerful dark force suddenly enveloped the entire tower.

Lena and Amy felt a chill run down their spines, knowing that the people from the Eternal Night Council had come knocking on their door.

They quickly prepared for battle, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

They knew that only by defeating this dark force could they protect the Wizard Tower and Cynthia's path to godhood.

David, Fire Dance, and Water Lily venture deep into the heart of the Elemental Realm in search of the legendary Elemental Throne.

However, their journey was not smooth; a huge trap was quietly waiting for them.

As they approached the location of the Elemental Throne, a powerful elemental force suddenly emerged, forming an indestructible barrier.

Behind the barrier, a colossal figure slowly emerged—the tyrant of the elemental realm, a terrifying being formed from pure elemental power.

"How dare you trespass on the Elemental Throne!" The Elemental Tyrant's voice boomed like thunder. "Hand over the Rainbow Core fragments, or you will remain here forever!"

David's heart tightened; he realized that the Elemental Tyrant had set a trap using the Rainbow Core fragments as bait.

However, they cannot abandon the Rainbow Core fragment, which is the key to Cynthia's condensation of her divine body.

“We will not hand over the Rainbow Core fragments!” David said firmly.

He summoned his chaotic divine power, preparing to fight the Elemental Tyrant.

Fire Dance and Water Lily also stood beside David, their eyes filled with determination and courage.

They knew that only by uniting could they defeat this powerful enemy.

The Elemental Tyrant let out a cold laugh, and with a wave of its arm, a powerful elemental force swept over.

David, Huo Wu, and Shui Lian tried to defend themselves, but the power was too strong, making them feel somewhat powerless.

Just then, the Elemental Tyrant suddenly activated the "Elemental Collapse Array," a terrifying magic array capable of devouring all surrounding elements.

David and his companions felt the elemental forces around them surging wildly, as if they were about to be devoured.

"Oh no! We must stop this magic circle!" David said anxiously.

He knew that once the magic array was successfully activated, they would be unable to withstand that destructive power.

Fire Dance and Water Lily also realized the seriousness of the situation. Without hesitation, they sacrificed part of their divine crystal energy and poured it into the surrounding elements.

Through their efforts, the power of the elemental collapse array began to reverse and gradually got out of control.

The Elemental Tyrant watched all this in horror, trying to regain control of the magic circle, but it was too late.

Thanks to David and his team's efforts, the elemental collapse array was finally completely reversed, and the elemental tyrant was sealed into a puppet by this powerful force.

David breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the sealed Elemental Tyrant.

They successfully avoided the trap, but at a considerable cost.

Fire Dance and Water Lily's divine crystal energy has been damaged and will take some time to recover.

However, they had no time to rest.

They must return to the Wizard's Tower as soon as possible and deliver the Rainbow Core fragment to Cynthia.

Only in this way can they continue to advance their plan to become gods.

Meanwhile, deep within the orc wasteland, Cynthia and Lia are facing another severe test.

They activated the remnant soul of the Nine-Tailed Ancestor in the Beast God Temple. This remnant soul possessed great power and wisdom, but was also bound by a mysterious curse.

In order to break the curse and inherit the power of her ancestors, Cynthia is forced to participate in a challenge called the "Trial of the Thousand Faces".

The Thousand Faces Illusion is a virtual world composed of countless illusions, each representing a different test and challenge.

Cynthia must navigate this world, facing various dangers and temptations, while maintaining her clarity and resolve.

However, this trial is not easy.

Cynthia was quickly captivated by the illusions and fell into deep confusion. She saw her past pain and failures, and the uncertainty and fear of the future.

These illusions haunted her like a nightmare, leaving her unable to escape.

Seeing Cynthia in trouble, Lia was extremely anxious.

She knew that if she couldn't help Cynthia escape the illusion in time, she might be lost here forever.

Therefore, she decided to use her light attribute talent to break the curse of the illusion.

Lia closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She sensed the power of the light elements around her and gathered them into her hands.

Then, she suddenly opened her eyes and released the power of light element in her hands.

A dazzling light instantly pierced the darkness of the illusion, shattering all the illusions that had been deceiving Cynthia.

Cynthia felt a refreshing energy flow into her body, allowing her to rediscover herself.

She looked at Lia, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Lia. Without you, I might never have been able to escape this illusion."

Lia smiled and shook her head.

"We are partners, and helping each other is our duty. Now, we must move forward and complete this trial."

So they embarked on their trial once again.

After countless challenges and trials, they finally arrived at the core area of ​​the illusion.

Here, they discovered a massive illusionary core, the very source of the entire illusion.

As Cynthia looked at the core of the illusion, a strong desire welled up within her.

She wanted to devour the core and claim its power for herself.

However, she also knew that doing so could have unpredictable consequences.

Lia noticed Cynthia's hesitation and encouraged her, "Cynthia, believe in yourself. You are the descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox, possessing the power to devour everything. This illusionary core is nothing to you."

With Lia's encouragement, Cynthia finally made up her mind.

She lunged at the core of the illusion, opened her mouth, and swallowed it whole.

Suddenly, a powerful force erupted within her body, causing her both pain and excitement.

After a difficult struggle and fusion, Cynthia finally succeeded in taking possession of the power of the illusion core.

She felt her strength greatly enhanced, and at the same time, she awakened a new divinity—[the divinity of illusion and reality].

This divinity allows her to freely move between reality and illusion, controlling the power of all illusions.

"Great! I did it!" Cynthia shouted excitedly.

She looked at Lia, her eyes sparkling with confidence.

Lia also smiled happily.

She knew that Cynthia's awakening would provide powerful support for their path to godhood.

They must return to the Wizard's Tower as soon as possible to tell David and the others the good news.

Inside the Wizard's Tower, Lena was intently studying the energy rift between the ice crystals and David's Chaos Godhood.

She discovered that this rift could cause the entire Wizard Tower's energy system to collapse, thereby endangering everyone's safety.

To solve this problem, Lena decides to secretly contact the defectors of the Eternal Night Council to obtain a mysterious formula called "Divine Adhesive".

This adhesive is said to be able to repair any rift between divinities and is the key to restoring the Wizard Tower's energy system.

However, Lena's actions triggered an anomaly in the Wizard Tower's defense system.

The defense system mistakenly identified her as a potential threat and began tracking and attacking her.

Lena had to evade the defense system's attacks while maintaining contact with the defector.

She was well aware that her actions were fraught with risk, but she also understood that it was for the greater good.

If the Wizard Tower's energy system collapses, all their efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, she had to take the risk and try to find a solution to this problem.

After a difficult period of maneuvering and negotiation, Lena finally obtained the recipe for the divine adhesive from the defector.

She immediately began preparing to make the adhesive, hoping to repair the Wizard Tower's energy system as soon as possible.

However, what she didn't know was that a bigger secret and conspiracy was hidden behind this recipe.

The Council of Eternal Night has taken notice of her actions and has begun to secretly plot a more intense attack on her and the Wizard Tower.

David stood before the Chaos Forge at the top of the Wizard Tower, his gaze firm and profound.

In his hand lay fragments of the Rainbow Core, which he had seized from the Elemental Tyrant. These fragments contained incomparably pure elemental power and were key materials for forging divine artifacts.

David took a deep breath and activated the Chaos Furnace.

The furnace was instantly engulfed in a raging, chaotic divine fire—a flame capable of devouring everything and melting all things.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, the fragments of the rainbow core began to slowly melt, releasing a dazzling light.

David focused intently on manipulating the Chaos Divine Fire, gradually fusing the Rainbow Core fragments with the core of the Elemental Tyrant.

This process requires extremely high precision and patience; the slightest mistake could lead to the failure of the entire smelting process.

After several days of effort, David finally succeeded in fusing the Rainbow Core fragments with the Tyrant Core into one, forging a divine artifact called the [Elemental Crown].

The crown radiated a dazzling light, as if it contained the power of the entire elemental realm.

David put on the Elemental Crown and immediately felt a powerful elemental force surge into his body.

He tried to activate this power and actually managed to simulate a divine realm environment in a short period of time.

This thrilled him, because it meant they were one step closer to their goal of becoming gods.

Fire Dance and Water Lily also felt the changes brought about by the Elemental Crown.

With the crown's blessing, their strength was greatly enhanced, and they successfully broke through to the peak of the demigod realm.

However, their bodies also began to show some abnormal changes—signs of elementalization.

Their skin began to become transparent, as if you could see the blood vessels and bones inside.

At the same time, their power became more violent and uncontrollable.

This made them both excited and worried, because they didn't know whether the change was good or bad.

David watched the changes in Huo Wu and Shui Lian, his heart filled with worry.

He knew that if they couldn't find a way to solve the elementalization problem, their lives might be in danger.

Therefore, he decided to temporarily stop using the Elemental Crown and look for a way to solve the problem of elementalization.

On the other side, Cynthia was attempting to infuse her illusory divinity into the Nine-Tailed Fox's bloodline in order to condense a semi-transparent divine body framework.
