Chapter 697 - 329: Compensation

Under the Suppression of [Divine Majesty], the chaos caused by the Blood Race monsters’ assault was quickly quelled, and the Tier Four Legend tutors present all gained a deep understanding of how important it was to have a Divinity-level powerhouse.

A Divinity is a qualitative transformation; the Divinity within a force doesn’t have to be the highest Tier, but there must be one. Whether a Divinity exists or not, the final difference is terrifyingly vast.

"It was actually resolved this easily."

Hu Shou looked at the fallen Blood Race monsters, feeling endlessly emotional. They had long since grown used to having no Divine Shelter; now that they had shelter and protection, the feeling was truly complicated.

Aizef bent down to probe the gradually drying and dispersing sea of blood and to examine the dead Blood Race monsters, his brows filled with grave solemnity.

Because those weren’t real Blood Race, but expendable materials tossed over by the God of Blood...

....

After the battle ended, the binding and sealing Array was not lifted. Many Blood Race possessed extremely terrifying Life Force; even if you killed such a monster several times, it might not actually be completely dead.

You had to watch its body burn into flying ash, its soul smashed apart, not even a single drop of blood left, before you could preliminarily judge it as temporarily non-threatening.

After confirming there was temporarily no threat, Sajia directly returned to her original world, while Ye Mingqiu staggered in an exaggerated way, as if he was in great pain from severe internal damage.

"Classmate, are you alright?"

The voluptuous Support System Tutor, Yuji, supported his body, quickly examining his physical condition. But what puzzled her was that Ye Mingqiu’s body didn’t show any abnormalities at this moment.

"I’m fine."

Ye Mingqiu steadied himself, waved his hand, and said, "I just lost my footing for a moment. It’s only because summoning Her consumes too great a price, which led to some heart-stabbing pain, that’s all."

Heart-stabbing pain?

Yuji slightly let out a breath of relief, but then immediately realized how serious the problem was.

A Divinity is an existence high beyond reach. Directly summoning the true body of a Divinity to descend and using [Divine Majesty] to assist in combat— the amount of resources required... was probably no small figure.

After all, for ordinary Spiritualists, let alone summoning a Divinity, even just coming into contact with one required paying an enormous price.

The difference in class was simply too great.

If Ye Mingqiu’s strength wasn’t powerful and his Talent wasn’t extraordinary, it would be absolutely impossible for him to summon a Divinity.

"Don’t worry, the academy will definitely compensate for your losses. We won’t let you waste your resources for nothing."

Yuji placed one hand on his shoulder, her gaze gradually turning fervent as she continued asking, "Then, does your summoning have a limit on the number of times, or..."

"There’s no limit on the number of times, but..."

Ye Mingqiu’s face showed a pained expression as he continued in a low voice, "...each summoning requires a huge amount of resources. Summoning a Divinity to participate in battle comes at a very expensive price."

Summoning Sajia onto the field not only required paying a full 1000 Power of Faith, he also had to feed her snacks.

"I understand."

Yuji nodded slightly, and at the same time, the smile on her face grew even richer.

She wasn’t afraid of large resource consumption; she only feared a limit on the number of uses. You had to know, a Divinity-level powerhouse’s influence on the outcome of a battle was absolutely critical. As long as the opponent wasn’t a Divinity, even if they were two Tiers above, they would still have their Attributes and Resistance suppressed.

This was the influence of a Divinity powerhouse!

Even more terrifying, a true Divinity powerhouse possessed extremely frightening combat power. Combined with [Divine Majesty]’s Suppression Traits, fighting opponents two Tiers higher was not difficult at all... unless the other party possessed [God] Traits or some Ability that could offset the impact.

"Then... may I ask, how many resources does it take to summon this Divinity powerhouse once?"

Yuji asked fervently.

"...."

Ye Mingqiu lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment, then replied, "It depends. If she only comes out like just now to release Divine Majesty, then it only costs ten Soul Fragments. But if I want her to personally participate in battle, I have to provide a piece of Divine Material she can actually use, and she also has to be free and in the mood to come."

"That cheap!"

Yuji blurted out in surprise, then coughed twice and tried her best to remain calm as she continued asking, "How did you do it? As far as I know, Divinities are all high-and-mighty, unbelievably arrogant bastards."

Arrogant?

Ye Mingqiu thought of how Sajia ate candy like a little dog and immediately felt a bit like laughing, but he still held it back and answered:

"I possess the Godslayer Title, and my Resistance is high enough to ignore her Divine Traits. I won her respect in a head-on battle, so I obtained the qualification to summon her."

"So that’s how it is."

Yuji slowly nodded. Although on the surface she seemed not shocked, in reality, she also wasn’t shocked.

Because she was numb to it; she was used to this.

This kind of solution was indeed effective. Divinities were high above because they and Ordinary Spiritualists were not the same Level of Life, so naturally they looked down on them.

But if the other party’s same-Tier combat strength was strong enough, even to the point of being able to defeat her head-on, then the situation would be completely different.

....

Not long after, the Blood-colored monster’s remains were completely annihilated, leaving not a trace behind.

The sealing Array dispersed, and the many Tier Four Tutors came over. Among them, Hu Shou was the most enthusiastic. He laughed and said, "You really did great. This was the most satisfying fight I’ve ever had. I didn’t expect we could beat an Over-Specification Dominator like a dog, hahaha!"

"Hmph, that wasn’t a true Blood Race, just a [Mad Blood Fiend] under the God of Blood’s command."

Aizef opened his mouth to explain, "The Blood Race’s advancement differs from that of Spiritualists. Those with strong Talents and power can advance on their own, but if their Talent and power aren’t strong enough, they need to rely on certain external things... the true blood of higher Tier Blood Race."
