Panlong, I've already become a main god, and the system only just activated.

Although what was before him wasn't Morritt's strongest divine clone, Morritt's attack power had truly surprised him. If it had been before, he wouldn't have been able to block it at all.

A master of fire-based laws indeed possesses formidable offensive power.

“If your God of Light’s avatar doesn’t appear, you can’t defeat me.”

Although Morit's attack power was decent, Kakich was extremely confident, "You try my attack too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakchi stopped defending and instead swung his long whip, creating a huge "tornado" of spatial ripples that attacked Morit.

The surrounding mountains were easily pulverized by this "tornado," as if they were tofu. Along with the countless rubble and giant trees, countless water elements gathered around it, a light blue glow appeared, the temperature plummeted, and frost appeared out of nowhere, causing ice peaks to instantly condense on the rubble and giant trees.

With a whoosh, countless fragments of rock and giant trees, imbued with icy energy, swept towards Morritt.

The water element is more defensive, excelling in both physical and spiritual defense. As for offense, only the profound and mysterious Ice Sharpness provides a significant boost.

Kakchi's move primarily utilizes the profound mystery of the sharpness of ice. Unlike using a single profound mystery, he also incorporates countless fragments of rock and giant logs to increase its power.

...

"What a terrifying move..."

Those watching from afar turned pale upon seeing the "tornado," and many even moved further away, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

……

"Heh, all show and no substance."

Morritt had been watching Kakoch closely. In his opinion, this technique might be very effective in group battles, but it was somewhat lacking in one-on-one combat. "When it comes to physical attacks, you're still a bit lacking!"

As he spoke, Morritt raised his hands, and countless fiery red elements converged behind him, turning the entire sky an eerie red. This contrasted sharply with Kakoch's aquamarine "tornado."

Countless fire elements transformed into countless streams of light, intertwining and converging in front of Morritt.

In the blink of an eye, countless fire elements formed a burning fireball half a meter in diameter in front of Morrit. The fireball's color had changed from red to gold, and its terrifying temperature caused the surrounding space to tremble.

Bathed in the golden fireball, Morritt's body was surrounded by a faint golden halo.

...

"These two seem to want to go head-to-head..."

Pash looked at the scene in the arena and spoke.

The duel between Kakchi and Morit was different from a personal feud. Although there was a risk of death, it was Lota's request, so it was naturally more direct. From the beginning, they engaged in direct confrontation from all angles, without any intention of killing each other.

Lota nodded as he watched the two men's moves.

At this moment, Lota also thought of some battle descriptions in "Blue Star Memories". Although there were many battle scenes described, most of them were close-quarters combat.

Among the powerful beings in the divine realm, close combat is indeed common. However, in reality, close combat is often the last resort. Even god-level powerhouses who cultivate the laws of earth, which are suitable for close combat, will not immediately engage in close combat at the start of a battle.

To paraphrase Lota's "Memories of Blue Star," god-level powerhouses are actually more like "mages." Many of their powerful techniques cannot be unleashed in close combat.

Of course, there are also powerful individuals like Lin Lei who specialize in close combat. It's not to say that close combat is inferior to ranged attacks, but in the battles of the divine plane, a moment's carelessness can lead to death. Ranged attacks are just as powerful as close combat, and are relatively safer. Therefore, in the divine plane, unlike in "Blue Star Memories," not everyone chooses close combat; everyone's first choice is more inclined towards ranged attacks.

In the realm of gods, true life-or-death battles mostly involve the combined use of ranged and melee attacks. This is where the advantage of divine avatars becomes apparent. Different laws favor different aspects; only through coordination can their full power be unleashed.

If Lin Lei weren't the "protagonist by destiny," he would probably have had a hard time surviving in the divine realm just because of his close-combat habit.

...

It is also because of the advantage of the long-range attacks of the divine clones that the scene described in the "Blue Star Memory" plane battlefield appears, where soldiers can kill the commander by working together.

Even in the tenth round, there was a possibility that a Great Perfection Upper God might perish.

Aside from the influence of the main god's power, it's because powerful individuals from different systems can cooperate with each other, combining ranged and melee attacks, that their offensive power can be maximized.

Of course, the dimensional battlefield is limited in scope, greatly affecting the Great Perfection High Gods. But this is enough to illustrate the power of ranged coordinated attacks.

Therefore, although the Four Divine Beasts Clan lacks Great Perfection or Peak Asura powerhouses, they are still able to become the "Number One Clan" in the God Realm. This is because the clans have many high-ranking gods!

With the combined might of countless high-ranking gods, even a peak Asura would perish.

This explains why many escort missions in the divine realm recruit a large number of level one and level two demons. It's important to understand that level one and level two demons are almost always mid-level gods.

The reason for this is that a large number of mid-level gods working together have the opportunity to kill high-level gods even when attacking from a distance.

...

The only being that truly and absolutely ignores the difference in numbers is the supreme god. This is one of the reasons why the supreme god is completely different from other gods.

The supreme deity is no longer someone that can be defeated by sheer numbers. Therefore, the supreme deity stands high above, looking down upon all living beings.

……

Moritz and Kakoch's moves appeared almost simultaneously.

From a distance, it looks like a long dragon of water and ice, roaring as it swallows a golden sun.

"Sizzle~"

The tornado swallowed the fireball, and countless fragments of rock and giant trees, carrying icy blades, shot towards its center. Instantly, a series of ear-piercing hissing sounds emanated from the tornado.

Some mid-level and lower-level gods in the distance felt dizzy upon hearing this sound.

"The attack is quite good."

Morritt praised Kakoch for not immediately collapsing after Kakoch's "tornado" swallowed his fireball. However, Morritt didn't care; his golden eyes were full of confidence. "Explode!"

As Morritt finished speaking, the center of the "tornado" slowly began to light up. Even the countless ice peaks showed signs of melting!

However, the melted ice formed mist, which continued to form new chains that wrapped around the center.

Clearly, Kakic's move was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

...

However, in the blink of an eye, the golden fireball seemed to suddenly go berserk, with countless energies pouring out like a volcano, instantly forming a huge explosion. Under the terrifying energy outpouring, the "tornado" finally couldn't hold on and exploded along with the golden fireball.

Under this energy, space shattered instantly, forming a huge spatial fragmentation area.

Countless small fireballs, accompanied by ice blades, shot out in all directions.

The intertwined fireballs and ice spikes continued to explode, creating a violent surge of energy.

...

"Get out of the way!"

The divine-level experts watching from afar changed their expressions drastically and instantly transformed into various forms, fleeing in all directions.

……

Kakich's expression turned serious upon seeing the "tornado" explode. Morite's golden fireball was stronger than he had imagined. The energy ripples from the explosion alone were enough to kill an ordinary high-level god.

Seeing countless fireballs rushing towards him, Kakchi did not dodge. His divine power instantly condensed, forming a huge wave shield in front of him.

Unlike the pure blue divine power of the water element when he first unleashed "Tornado," the shield that Kakki condensed at this moment had a special cyan-blue color, which was extremely magical.

The energy, powerful enough to kill a high-ranking god, only caused a ripple upon impacting the shield before dissipating.

Even Morritt had his defensive energy depleted when he resisted the overflowing energy, unlike Kakchi who could do so effortlessly.

...

Seeing this, Lota smiled slightly. Clearly, Lota had already guessed it.

Instead, a look of surprise appeared in Pash's eyes, "Merged divine power..."

Chapter 13 Soul Mutants

...

"Merging with divine power..."

Pash's tone was slightly surprised, "This Kakchi's soul has actually mutated, no wonder he dared to challenge Quinceon."

Only gods whose souls have mutated can use the power of fusion; this is an ironclad rule.

Soul mutation is extremely rare. The mortality rate is extremely high, and the more clones one has, the greater the chance of death.

However, once the soul successfully mutates, different divine powers can be fused together. The combined power of two divine powers is ten times that of a single divine power. Moreover, different divine avatars can use the divine power and profound laws of other avatars, making all avatars almost equivalent to their own strongest avatars.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the power of a soul mutation expert.

Moreover, for powerful beings with mutated souls, in addition to the fusion of divine power, the profound mysteries of different laws can also be fused. The fusion of two different profound mysteries of laws is equivalent to the fusion of three profound mysteries of the same law system.

Moreover, the souls of those who have undergone soul mutation are extremely powerful, far surpassing those of other experts at the same level. Whether it's deducing the profound mysteries of laws or using soul attacks and defenses, they are all very strong.

It can be said that the potential and strength of a soul mutation expert surpasses that of an ordinary god.

...

However, soul mutation is extremely difficult. Even with two-element soul mutations, the mortality rate exceeds 90%. Three-element soul mutations require countless years and countless lives; only one such case occurs in the entire hell. The probability is practically zero.

And the four systems?

No one has ever succeeded; they are doomed to die.

...

...

"You have a mutated soul?!"

Morritt's divine sense naturally detected the shield that Kakchi had condensed using fused divine power, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

No wonder this guy's water-type clone is so strong.

Those whose souls have mutated possess powerful souls. In addition, since he himself is an Asura of the life rules, his soul has the Asura level. If he were to fully deduce the water element laws, even if his water element talent was somewhat lacking, it would still not be difficult for his water element clone to become an Asura.

Combined with his fusion of divine power and soul, his strength is among the top even in the Asura realm.

Kakchi made no attempt to hide anything. "Although your attack was quite powerful, it's no match for me now. Let your Light Clone appear."

Even though Morit's attack had the upper hand, Kakki hadn't gone all out. Now, using the power of fusion, Morit's fire clone was no match for him.

However, he dared not underestimate Morite, after all, Morite's strongest form was the avatar of the God of Light. Even among all the divine planes, Morite's avatar of the God of Light was only below the Great Perfection level.

The greatest reward for him would be to fight Morite's avatar of the God of Light.

"Heh, soul mutation is powerful, but I wonder if it's stronger than the power of a supreme god..."

Morritt did not reveal the location of his avatar of the God of Light. Instead, he extended his right hand, revealing a drop of black liquid exuding a terrifying aura—the power of the Dark God.
