Chapter 844: Light and Shadow Church (2)

“If I remember correctly, wasn’t the Lord of Light and Shadow the theme character of last time’s Dream? How did it appear again, is it an easter egg character?” The woman quickly calmed her emotions and asked, puzzled.

“Probably. According to the intelligence, the power displayed by the Lord of Light and Shadow far exceeds what a normal outsider could have, so it’s likely not an outsider but an easter egg character.” The bartender replied.

“But I still feel something’s off. Normally, easter egg characters don’t appear so suddenly; there should be some foreshadowing. This doesn’t match the Dream Weaver’s aesthetic for dream scenarios… It feels like there’s an issue.”

“Maybe He’s interested in something new?”

“Could be. He wouldn’t tolerate normal people having that level of power; outsiders having such power would be disastrous for the Dream World.”

“Indeed.”

In the corner of the tavern, a small white fox quietly sat in a false slumber. Upon hearing this intelligence, its body slightly trembled, though just for a moment. It quickly masked it with other movements, as if everything was normal.

Though the rules of the Spirit Realm fixate on the Human Race, abilities can alter the outsider’s appearance into various forms. As long as the disguise is good enough, one can hide within an animal’s shell.

Such forms can unexpectedly gather intelligence from the natives in the early stages, thus acquiring more initial resources.

It’s even possible… to deceive others.

‘Light and Shadow Church?’

Inside the tavern, a nun’s eyes flickered, as if shocked beyond measure. But she quickly composed herself, standing up with a smile, and walked towards the door, silently thinking.

“Looks like I’ve been too neglectful.”

….

Winter Island, inside the cellar

“Lord of Light and Shadow? God dammit, how did that thing pop up again? I’m still not over the psychological shadow from being beaten by it last time! Damn, I don’t want to fight against a thing with infinite resistance value again! That thing isn’t humanly beatable!”

A middle-aged man cursed aloud, as dark smoke began to emanate from him, power rife with a cursing aura, evidently a top-tier Curse System expert. Such experts are usually terribly suppressed.

Top-tier Curse System experts are naturally accompanied by various lethal curses. Their power might not be the most superior, but nobody wants to provoke them.

Thus, most of these Curse System experts are distinctive and sharp-tongued, engaging in colorful dialogues while chatting, as long as they don’t provoke someone too strong, virtually nobody dares to touch them.

Not far away, a pair of seemingly aloof white-haired teenagers simultaneously lit up their eyes as they looked at each other. They could both guess what the other was thinking, first laughing, then simultaneously turning their heads away, no longer looking at each other.

“What thoughts do the Time-Space Twins have? Planning to take down Winter Island as well?” A burly man wearing a military coat asked from the other side.

“Let’s fight.”

“Don’t be left behind.”

“Ha, rarely see you two agreeing. If it were before, you’d definitely be sniping at each other.” The Curse System middle-aged man laughed and said, “My intuition tells me you must know something… Did you get some easter egg clues in advance?”

“None of your business.”

The white-haired teenager spoke disdainfully, seemingly not afraid of the Curse System man at all.

“Oh? Quite daring. Your skill precision isn’t high, barely Tier Three, does a little Tier Three brat dare speak like this?” The Curse System middle-aged man sneered.

As a high-tier Curse System expert and someone who enjoys trash talking, he was quite adept at reading people, because failing to read people accurately meant trash talk would not survive to high-tier.

Surviving to high-tier, yet trash talking itself was proof of a strong ability to read people.

“It’s just being limited by the body.”

“No, it’s whether limited by the body or just not understanding the principle from the start. I know this stuff crystal clear.” The middle-aged man continued to advance, eyes growing more dangerous, saying:

“Time and space are rare attributes, and still below Tier Three. In such low tiers, the Time-Space Twins shouldn’t be too hard to find….”

“Wouldn’t want to get caught by me, would you?”

The Spirit Realm hosts countless worlds, and being caught isn’t actually that likely. However, the opponent is from the Curse System and a high-tier expert, possibly possessing some special means of seeking out he doesn’t know of, and the opponent’s face boasts confidence with a strong sense of oppression.

“….”

The teenager kept his head down, silently bearing the pressure, while the girl seemed to be watching something, suddenly smiling.

Then, space shifted.

“Smack!”

A crisp slap sound echoed.

The white-haired girl maintained her slap-swinging posture, her face full of arrogance and eyes showing genuine disdain, as she spoke under the middle-aged man’s indignant gaze, “State your name, I’ll send someone to find you.”

“Huh? What are you saying!”

The middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly shifted, a pang in his heart, sensing something might be off.

“I know the Divine Chosen of the Lord of Light and Shadow. I just sent the video of you over. C’mon, state your name, don’t chicken out!” The girl smiled at the man and said.

“….”

The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically, but he soon calmed down, saying, “Joking, it’s debatable if that guy even exists in the Spirit Realm, how could there be a Divine Chosen? You’re just bluffing me, and you? Dare to state your name! See how I deal with….”

“Bang!”

Before he finished speaking, the cellar door was kicked open.

A girl wearing a wolf fur coat, wolf-head hat, and holding a stick strode in, eyes full of rage.

“You are…”

Before the middle-aged man could finish, the girl’s head split open, revealing a third eye.

Suddenly, an invisible force completely suppressed his body. If he were an ignorant weakling, he wouldn’t be too flustered, but he was not an ignorant weakling.

On the contrary, his knowledge was vast!

The middle-aged man almost instantly judged the power used by the opponent to be Divine Skill, not a regular ability practiced, and she naturally used Divine Skill without relying on external force.

This meant…

This person was at least an Authority God! Possibly even beyond Authority God!

Among Dominator level experts, Authority God is already top-tier, and though there are Divinities within the Dream, their numbers are too scarce compared to Dominators, extremely few among few. It’s hard to encounter in large dreams.

“Bang!”

The girl in the wolf fur coat raised her stick instantly, striking the middle-aged man’s face, sending him flying far into the distance, blood splattering in the cellar while snow and wind blew in from outside, snowflakes scattered around her, and the three-eye divine light held unmatched majesty.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was greatly shocked, slowly crawling up from the ground, blood streaming from his mouth, thinking: Could I really be unfortunate enough to meet the chosen of the Light and Shadow God? Does this thing truly have a Divine Chosen? Does this feel right?

He lifted his head, only to see the girl in the wolf fur coat steadily walking towards him, the stick dragging on the ground, producing sounds.

This person was not a weapon-user.

The Curse System expert made a judgment, seeing through the girl as someone without weapon skills, but this person just had a lot of confidence, and her power was quite overbearing, literally like a Divine Skill personified, stronger than average Divine Chosen abilities.

Technique not strong, but sheer power overwhelming, nine out of ten times definitely Faith System, Faith System power originates from faith, so many don’t practice techniques, relying purely on brute force.

Such types of Divine Chosen are the ultimate representation of power through bricks, normal not practicing techniques.

As long as the Divinity gives plenty, the Divine Chosen’s base stats are much higher than an ordinary Authority God, even strong enough Divinity blessings can let their Divine Chosen rival weak real Divinities.

This person… couldn’t really be real, right!
