Master Changsheng

Chapter 454, Section 452: Collect some interest!

The God of Spring was somewhat bewildered.

He clearly remembered that he died a terrible death.

The kind of tragedy where no remains were ever found.

What's going on here?

"I've been resurrected again?"

"No, it's not resurrection!"

"This is my true spiritual state!"

"By him."

"Summoned anew by Lord Ankai, I was given life!"

[The God of Spring] wanted to say "I was summoned by him", but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she couldn't bring herself to say "he", and ended up saying "I was summoned by Lord Ankai".

This is the latest effect of [Summon]!

Added a function that can forcibly change the mindset of living beings!

For example, the character "God of Spring" was forcibly changed.

Even in his consciousness, this forced alteration had already changed his past memories as well, throughout his long lifespan.

"Lord Ankai" suddenly occupied an extremely important place in his life.

From the moment consciousness awakened to the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation, he practiced magic step by step, and then successfully ascended to godhood, climbing step by step to achieve his current strength as a [first-class god].

Ankai's presence permeates the entirety of the life of the God of Spring.

Many important beings in his life were replaced by Ankai after undergoing the baptism of the [Summoning Gate].

All of this happened in an instant.

This is also a significant change that makes the [Summoning Gate] powerful today.

It is no longer about forcibly controlling the other person, but about controlling them from the deepest part of their mind.

This makes the [Summoning Gate] even more powerful in enslaving living beings.

It was this change that caused the true spirit of the God of Spring to feel surprised when it stepped out of the Summoning Gate, but that surprise quickly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the mindset of the God of Spring, who was standing in front of the Summoning Gate, had undergone a huge change.

From initial unfamiliarity with Ankai to the current sense of familiarity and relief, it only took a few seconds.

The God of Spring has forgotten who killed him. In his heart, at this moment, being able to meet the most important person in his life—Ankai—is already an immense blessing.

An Kai heard clearly what the God of Spring was thinking.

Ankai was very satisfied with the upgrade of his spell level thanks to the true spirit of the God of Spring.

[Summon] This upgrade also perfectly met Ankai's expectations.

"It was worth it!"

Changing memories is one aspect of the improvement to this [Summon], and the new effects of this improvement can also be used against enemies.

Using this effect during battle can cause the opponent to experience a momentary lapse in consciousness, causing them to uncontrollably think about Ankai's relationship with them.

Ankai could then use this moment of distraction to destroy his opponent.

It is likely that the emergence of new combat methods through [Summoning] is what caused Ankai's ranking on the [Gods Ranking] to rise so suddenly.

This was unrealistic in the past.

After all, for Ankai, [Summon] has always been a utility spell, and it rarely appears as a means of combat.

The emergence of new methods for dealing with the enemy is quite an unexpected surprise.

[God of Spring] originally wanted to catch up with Ankai, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and then tell him about his unexpected death, asking Ankai to help him make decisions.

However, seeing that Ankai was deep in thought, the God of Spring did not bring up the matter.

He knew Ankai's temperament and understood Ankai.

After all, Ankai's memories have always existed in the mind of the God of Spring.

[God of Spring] knows that what Ankai hates most is being disturbed when he is thinking.

What the God of Spring didn't know was that these so-called "Ankai taboos" in his mind were "taboos" that Ankai had actively added when he used the "Summoning Gate" to modify his memories.

Not far from the God of Spring, An Kai didn't have time to pay attention to the God of Spring right now, as he was in the process of comprehending the changes in his new spell.

The greater his strength, the more clearly he needs to perceive the effects of new spells.

These are invaluable experiences for future battles against the enemy.

Therefore, Ankai did not pay attention to the God of Spring immediately. In Ankai's mind, the dead gods, especially the true spirits of the gods enslaved by his Summoning Gate, were all worthless beings.

Even if it has value now, it will be discarded by oneself before long.

Looking back at Ankai's interactions with deities, how many deities have consistently accompanied him throughout his life?

not even one.

This applies to gods and spirits as well.

In fact, this applies not only to gods, but also to other living beings.

No living being could stay by Ankai's side forever, except for a few.

For example, Wayne, whom we've talked about countless times.

The promotion from Ligue 1 to Lv221 is a significant change.

If the changes are minor and do not improve Ankai's overall strength, then Ankai's ranking on the [Gods Ranking] would not continue to rise.

Unlike [Summon], let's take a closer look at the many improvements [French Ligue 1] has received in the past.

Each upgrade has remained on the right track, and has always been an indispensable defensive measure for Ankai.

The same applies this time.

Having advanced to a new major tier, [French Armor] once again demonstrates its unique defensive capabilities.

This adds another important barrier to Ankai's own safety.

With the new effect of [French Ligue 1], Ankai is confident he can go to the God Realm to deal with the other [First-Class Gods].

Even if he wasn't a match for them, An Kai was confident he could escape perfectly.

All this confidence stems from the new effects of the French Ligue 1!

—Concealment!

The name is simple and unpretentious, but the effect is quite different.

[Concealing one's location, concealing all one's aura, concealing one's actions, concealing everything about oneself, even the divine realm cannot detect a being in this concealed state.]

This is the new effect after [Ligue 1] is promoted to [Lv221].

As its name suggests, it conceals everything.

This is a new effect following Dispel, Absolute Defense, Boundless, Formless, Domain, and Energy Absorption.

With the help of [Concealment], Ankai is confident that he can ambush other [First-Class Gods] without being detected.

They were confident that even if they were no match for their opponent, they could safely escape from Fang's clutches.

Because Ankai is under the [Concealment] effect, even the God Realm can be concealed, so how could he not escape the detection of some [First-Class Gods]?

Is the opponent's perception even stronger than that of the gods?

impossible!

Ankai had previously mastered some methods to conceal himself.

Both the [Domain] and the current [Meditation Ring] have the effect of concealing oneself.

However, compared to [Ligue 1: Cover], the difference is enormous.

The best explanation is that everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

The overall occlusion effect of [Domain] is not as good as that of [Ligue 1: Occlusion].

The most obvious point is that the concealment effect of the [Domain] is so strong that even some powerful gods cannot hide their figures from the divine realm.

This is also why Ankai is very effective at using the concealment effect of the [Domain] when dealing with powerful gods.

An Kai was unsure whether he could conceal his presence from the other party. If not, the other party might seize the opportunity to set a trap for him.

The [Meditation Ring] is quite effective at concealing itself, arguably second only to [Armor Armor: Concealment], and its coverage area and defensive strength are superior to the current [Armor Armor].

Compared to [Ligue 1: Cover], it has advantages and disadvantages.

But

The Meditation Ring has a fatal flaw, which is one that it cannot currently resolve.

—Flexibility.

Once the [Meditation Ring] is cast, it is fixed in one place and cannot leave the area it covers. This means that even though the [Meditation Ring] is very good, Ankai cannot use it to fight enemies all the time.

Just like now, Ankai is outside the range of the [Meditation Ring], and even though the [Meditation Ring] is quite effective, Ankai has no way to use it against his enemies.

Because the Meditation Ring cannot be moved.

In this respect, it is far inferior to [Ligue 1: Cover].

[Ligue 1: Concealment] belongs to following Ankai's will.

There is no such thing as a fixed area.

Ankai can use it wherever he wants, no matter where he is.

The powerful concealment effect is enough to keep Ankai in the advantageous position at all times.

In a fight between two people, especially one of An Kai's caliber, the one who strikes first always gains the advantage.

There's no such thing as me letting you make the first move, observing your strength first, and then using my trump card or something to defeat you.

For someone of Ankai's caliber, this situation is impossible.

There's absolutely no way they would test the waters during a fight.

When taking action, the first move should be to go all out.

If you dare to test the waters, you'll be in for a surprise attack.

You won't even know how you died when the time comes.

We are all powerful beings, and we have reached the point where we need to take action to solve the problem. If we test each other again, would we be looking down on ourselves or the other party?

Therefore, for a being of Ankai's strength, whoever strikes first gains absolute initiative.

Having the initiative means that as long as you don't do anything foolish like trying to test the waters, the other party can only resist your relentless bombardment and will eventually be annihilated.

Therefore, the effect of [Ligue 1: Concealment] is crucial for Ankai's strength improvement.

It allows Ankai to always maintain the initiative when facing the enemy.

Think about it, you were originally in a relaxed state of cultivation, or like before the [God of Spring], in a weak state of recovering from injuries, and suddenly!

Your enemy appears out of nowhere and unleashes a long-planned ultimate attack on you. How will you respond?

A: Wait to die.

This is the biggest benefit that [Ligue 1: Concealment] brings to Ankai.

call.

Ankai breathed a sigh of relief, having clearly grasped the effects of the two newly advanced spells.

This gave Ankai a clearer understanding of the other gods in the divine realm.

"At least now, the initiative has shifted to my hands!"

After finishing his reflection, An Kai looked at the God of Spring who had been waiting for him in front of the Summoning Gate.

The God of Spring made no sound, silently waiting for Ankai to finish his thoughts.

He perfectly embodied the qualities expected of a bystander.

This is more discerning than some trained creatures in the House of Goodness.

Very rare.

We also need to thank the [Summoning Gate], which saved Ankai a lot of time in training the [God of Spring].

Although Wayne has always been the one doing these things.

"Come here, sigh."

"You were unlucky too, encountering an avatar of the [God of Law], and ultimately you were no match for him, being unjustly killed by the [God of Law]."

"I'm late. I hope you won't blame me." Not a single tear fell from An Kai's face, and his words were not very emotional.

But the God of Spring is faith.

I can't help but imagine things from the perspective of the God of Spring.

After a moment of imagining, [God of Spring] was moved to tears by An Kai.

All past grievances have vanished like smoke.

"It was worth it!"

"It was all worth it!"

[God of Spring] shouted excitedly in his heart, his eyes looking at Ankai with even more loyalty than those of his most devoted subordinates.

If I had to describe it, it would be like Ankai's old dog, which he had raised for over a decade and never left his side, suddenly leaving home for a few days and then seeing Ankai again.

A restrained loyalty was evident on his face.

At the same time, a tremendous wave of resentment towards the [God of Law] surged within him.

In other words, the [God of Law] is not here now. If the [God of Law] were here, the [God of Spring] would definitely not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife against his former master, the [God of Law].

Compared to the bewitching methods of the [God of Law], these are the most comprehensive bewitching methods that Ankai has mastered.

In other words, bewitching methods are not considered a spell, and the [God of Magic] cannot perceive them.

Otherwise, he would be shocked again.

If one's own methods of manipulation are at level ten, then An Kai's methods of manipulation are at level one hundred.

"Tell me about the orders the [God of Law] gave you when you were infiltrating his ranks. This is very important to us."

"Don't worry, I will make him pay for your innocent death at the hands of the [God of Magic]!"

An Kai's words of comfort, neither too harsh nor too gentle, moved the God of Spring to tears once again after a moment of contemplation.

With a slightly tearful, emotional voice, the Goddess of Spring exclaimed, "My lord, I will never regret following you in this life!"

The declaration, delivered with a childish and pretentious tone, sounded quite awkward to An Kai.

There was a urge to dig my toes into the floor.

Fortunately, the God of Spring only mentioned it once before starting to tell Ankai about the arrangements made by the God of Law.

And the information he had previously gathered about the gods under the command of the [God of Light] and the [God of Darkness].

As the narration of "The God of Spring" began, Ankai's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

I almost burst out laughing at the very end.

He had thought that the God of Light and the God of Darkness were weak, but he never expected that they would be even weaker than he imagined.

If it's two against one, and we can't win, then so be it.

They were led by the nose the whole time.

If it weren't for Ankai's sudden return.

It's likely that the gods under the command of the God of Light and the God of Darkness were long ago devoured by the five First-Class Gods under the command of the God of Law, leaving not even a bone behind.

Ankai has now returned, and it's an Ankai that has been comprehensively strengthened.

"The power dynamics in the realm of gods need to change!"

"Bombarding my Meditation Ring?"

"So what if they're supreme gods? So what if they're high-level deities? Aren't they just there to pave the way for my power increase!"

The story of "The God of Spring" has ended.

An Kai had already finalized his plan.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's go! Let's collect some interest for you first!"

[Ligue 1: Concealment] descends, obscuring the figures of Ankai and [God of Spring].

Even the gods cannot detect their existence.
