The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 475 Divine Essence Stripping
This process is fraught with challenges and dangers, because the power of the illusory and the divine is extremely strong and difficult to control.

However, Cynthia did not give up.

With unwavering will and the inheritance of the nine-tailed fox, she gradually mastered the power of illusory divinity.

Through her efforts, a semi-transparent divine body framework began to condense and take shape within her body.

However, just when Cynthia thought she was about to succeed, she suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness.

She discovered that her divine body was on the verge of collapse due to a lack of physical energy support.

This made her feel extremely frustrated and helpless.

Seeing Cynthia's pained expression, Lia felt a pang of sympathy and worry.

She thought for a moment and suddenly came up with a possible solution—to introduce the "sap of the Mother Tree of Life" from the elves.

“Cynthia, I know a way that might help you,” Lia said. “The sap of the Elven Mother Tree of Life contains powerful life force and physical energy, which might be used to stabilize your divine body’s framework.”

Cynthia's eyes lit up when she heard this; she immediately realized it was a viable solution.

So she asked Lia to help her contact the elves and obtain the sap of the Mother Tree of Life.

Lia agreed to Cynthia's request without hesitation.

Using her light-attribute talent and the friendly relations with the elves, she successfully contacted the elven elders.

With the help of the elders, they obtained the precious sap of the Mother Tree of Life.

Cynthia injected the sap of the Mother Tree of Life into her divine body frame, and immediately felt a powerful life force surge into her body.

Her divine body began to become stable and solid, no longer as fragile as before.

Cynthia looked at the semi-transparent divine body framework she had condensed, her heart filled with excitement and joy.

She knew that she had taken an important step toward becoming a god.

However, she also understood that this was just the beginning, and many more challenges and tests awaited her in the future.

Meanwhile, Lena is busy searching for the ingredients for the divine adhesive formula.

She knew the importance of these materials for repairing the Wizard Tower's energy system, so she risked contacting the envoy of the Council of Eternal Night.

However, Lena was unaware that this was a trap.

When she met with the envoy and made a deal, the envoy suddenly turned hostile and demanded that she hand over the Ice Crystal.

This shocked and angered Lena.

"Are you playing me for a fool?" Lena glared at the envoy and said, "I will never hand over the Ice Crystal!"

The envoy sneered, "Do you think you have a choice? If you don't hand over the Ice Crystal, don't even think about leaving here alive."

As he spoke, the envoy prepared to attack Lena.

However, at that moment, Amy suddenly activated the power of the Sif Godhead fragment, instantly freezing the surrounding spacetime.

The envoy's movements thus became extremely slow.

David also noticed the unusual situation here, and he immediately launched a remote attack on the envoy using chaotic power.

Under the combined attack of Amy and David, the envoy was quickly killed and fell to the ground.

However, when they examined the items left behind by the envoy, they discovered that the key pages of the recipe had been destroyed.

Lena stared at the destroyed key pages of the formula, her heart filled with despair and rage.

She knew this meant they had lost their only chance to obtain the divine adhesive formula.

The Wizard Tower's energy system was thus plunged into an even more dangerous situation.

“What should we do?” Lena asked helplessly, looking at David and Amy. “Without the formula, we simply cannot repair the Wizard Tower’s energy system.”

David and Amy also fell into deep thought.

They knew the problem was very difficult, but they couldn't give up.

So they began to brainstorm and look for possible solutions.
David stood at the entrance to the ancient cemetery, gazing solemnly into the distance.

According to the ancient clues he possessed, the tomb of the first Godslayer was hidden deep within this cemetery.

He knew that there might be a key inscription hidden there that could break the "Divine Stripping Technique," which was crucial for them to repair the Wizard Tower's energy system.

David took a deep breath and stepped into the cemetery.

The cemetery is filled with all kinds of tombstones and sculptures, and the air is filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

He carefully moved among the tombstones, afraid of disturbing the ancient gods who slept there.

After several days of exploration, David finally found the tomb of the first Godslayer.

The entrance to the tomb was sealed by a heavy stone door, which was carved with intricate runes and patterns.

David examined the runes closely and discovered that they seemed to have a close connection with the "Godhood Stripping Technique".

He tried to decipher the runes using his magical knowledge, but soon found it to be no easy task.

These runes contain the profound wisdom and power of the first Godslayer, far beyond his easy comprehension.

Just as David was at his wit's end, a deep voice suddenly came from within the tomb: "Foolish mortal, why do you disturb my slumber?"

David was startled and immediately looked around warily.

The stone gate of the tomb slowly opened, and a blurry figure clad in armor and wielding a giant axe slowly emerged.

This is the remnant soul of an ancient war god imprisoned in a tomb, and also the guardian of the tomb.

“I am David, a wizard,” David said, forcing himself to remain calm. “I am here to find a way to break the ‘Godhood Stripping Spell’ in order to repair the energy system of our wizard tower.”

The remnant soul of the ancient god of war sneered upon hearing this: "Break the 'Godhood Stripping Technique'? That's my ultimate technique used against gods. Why do you think I'd easily teach it to you?"

David did not back down. He continued, "I know you are imprisoned here and cannot move freely. I am willing to help you take revenge, in exchange for you passing on the power of the inscription to me."

The remnant soul of the ancient god of war remained silent for a while, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, he slowly nodded: "Okay, I agree. But you must first prove your sincerity and ability."

David agreed to the request of the remnant soul of the ancient god of war without hesitation.

In the days that followed, he continued to communicate and learn from the remnants of the ancient god of war, gradually mastering the essence of the "Godhood Stripping Technique".

At the same time, he also began to plan a revenge scheme for the remnant soul of the ancient god of war, searching for the weaknesses of the gods who had once imprisoned him.

After months of effort, David finally succeeded in deciphering the inscription of the "Divine Stripping Technique" and obtained its powerful abilities.

At the same time, he also found an opportunity for the remnant soul of the ancient god of war to take revenge, helping him regain his freedom and defeat the gods who had imprisoned him.

However, David also knew that this deal was not without its costs.

He not only needs to face powerful enemies and challenges that may arise in the future, but also needs to be constantly vigilant against the potential threats posed by the remnants of the ancient god of war.

But he believed that as long as they united and worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve success. Meanwhile, Cynthia's team had already arrived in the elven territory.

Their purpose in this journey was to obtain the sap of the Mother Tree of Life to stabilize Cynthia's divine body framework.

However, when they arrived in the Elven territory, they discovered that the Mother Tree was facing an unprecedented crisis.

It turns out that the vampire prince had infiltrated the elven territory at some point and used "blood plague spores" to corrupt the Mother Tree of Life.

These spores contain the evil power of the vampire prince, which can continuously drain the life force of the mother tree, causing it to gradually wither and die.

Upon learning of this, the Elven Queen immediately summoned all her people to discuss countermeasures.

However, they discovered that no matter what method they used, they could not completely eliminate the blood plague spores from the mother tree.

This plunged the entire Elven race into despair.

Just then, Cynthia and Lia stepped forward.

They expressed their willingness to help the elves resolve this crisis and promised to do everything in their power to protect the Mother Tree of Life.

The Elven Queen was extremely grateful and immediately agreed to their request, fully cooperating with their actions.

Lia used her light attribute talent to activate Holy Light Purification, attempting to remove the blood plague spores from the mother tree.

However, these spores are exceptionally stubborn and difficult to completely eliminate even when purified by holy light.

Seeing this, Cynthia decided to take more radical measures.

She proposed extracting the primordial power of the mother tree to activate its hidden [Nature Godhood] resonance, thereby completely eradicating the blood plague spores.

Although this method is extremely risky, it may be the only feasible way.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Elven Queen decided to agree to Cynthia's proposal.

Cynthia then carefully began to draw upon the primordial power of the mother tree, while Lia used her full power to cast Holy Light Purification to assist her in completing this process.

After a lot of hard work, Cynthia finally succeeded in extracting enough of the Mother Tree's primordial power and activating the hidden [Nature Godhood] resonance.

A powerful force of nature erupted from the mother tree, instantly clearing away all the blood plague spores.

The Elven Queen and her people were thrilled to see this.

They all expressed their gratitude to Cynthia and Lia and praised them as heroes of the Elven race.

Cynthia also successfully obtained the precious sap of the Mother Tree of Life, laying a solid foundation for stabilizing her divine body.

However, this experience also made Cynthia deeply aware of the importance and responsibility of strength.

She knew that as a wizard and a future deity, she had to constantly improve her power to protect herself and those around her from threats.

Meanwhile, Lena is conducting a dangerous experiment—using herself as a medium to forcibly link the ice crystals with David's divinity in order to temporarily stabilize the energy rift.

This experiment is extremely risky; the slightest mistake could lead to serious consequences or even endanger lives.

However, Lena did not back down.

She knew the importance of the Wizard Tower's energy system to the entire wizarding world, so she was willing to take the risk.

With the support of David and other team members, she began this difficult experiment.

The experiment was extremely difficult.

Lena needs to constantly adjust her magic output and the frequency of her ice crystals to ensure they can perfectly link with David's divinity.

At the same time, she must be constantly vigilant about any possible abnormal situations and respond promptly.

After several days of effort, Lena finally succeeded in completing the experiment.

A stable link was established between the ice crystals and David's divinity, temporarily stabilizing the expansion of the energy rift.

However, Lena paid a heavy price for this—her soul was eroded by chaos and her memories began to gradually fragment.

David and the rest of the team were deeply worried and heartbroken to see this.

They all stepped forward to comfort Lena and promised to do everything they could to help her regain her memory and soul.

Lena also demonstrated amazing perseverance and courage, stating that she would not give up easily and would continue to fight against chaos to the very end.

In the days that followed, David and the rest of the team continued to search for a way to restore Lena's memories and soul.

They tried various magic and medicines, but the effects were not obvious.

This caused Lena's condition to gradually worsen, and she accumulated more and more fragmented memories.

However, at that moment, David suddenly thought of a potentially effective method—to use the "Godhood Stripping Technique" obtained from the Godslayer's Tomb to strip away the chaotic corruption from Lena's soul.

Although this method is extremely risky, it may be the only way to save Rena.

David immediately began preparing to implement the plan.

He convened all team members to discuss countermeasures and develop a detailed plan.

With everyone's joint efforts, they finally succeeded in removing the chaotic corruption from Lena's soul, allowing her memories and soul to be restored.

When Lena woke up and saw that she had regained her complete memories and soul, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

She hugged David and the other team members tightly, thanking them for everything they had done for her.

Everyone felt incredibly gratified and happy because they knew that as long as they were united, no difficulty was insurmountable.

At the top of the wizard's tower, the wind howled and dark clouds gathered, as if the entire world was preparing for the upcoming ceremony.

David stood atop the tower, clutching the Elemental Crown, the Chaos Godhead, and the inscription he had obtained from the Godslayer's Tomb.

These three items contain boundless power, and he is about to become the one who merges them.

David took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate.

He could feel the power surging within him, the result of his years of cultivation and his profound understanding of the wizarding path.

He slowly placed the Elemental Crown on his head, and instantly, a strong elemental fluctuation emanated from his body, resonating with the elements of heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, he held the Chaos Godhead in his hand, and the cold and heavy touch made him shiver.

But he did not back down; instead, he resolutely integrated it into his own body.

Instantly, a chaotic and powerful force raged within his body, as if it were about to tear him apart.

But David, with his astonishing willpower, forcefully suppressed this power and merged it with his own magic.

Finally, he produced the mysterious inscription.

The inscription is covered with intricate runes and patterns, each stroke imbued with the wisdom and power of the first god-slayer.

David carefully placed it against his chest and began to silently chant the incantation.

As the incantation was recited, the runes on the monument began to glow and gradually merged into his body.
