Chapter 1199: Chapter 191: Bayonetta Conquered and Su Li’s Escape Operation_4

"I didn’t expect the Council to voluntarily send us such a grand gift, along with a colossal headache and a... completely unexpected ally." Su Li turned around, a faintly playful smile at the corner of his lips. "Chaos isn’t a bad thing, Hilude. The murkier the water, the easier it is for a big fish like us to swim away unscathed. As for leaving early..."

His gaze swept over the city outside the window that was just beginning to wake. "That suits me perfectly. This was never a place meant for a long stay."

Just then, Hilude’s eyes fully settled on Su Li. Her sharp perception made her notice the difference in an instant. The Su Li before her now had his aura suppressed yet unfathomably deep; simply standing there, he was like a volcano that could erupt at any moment, and at the same time like a boundless, star-strewn night sky. This was a qualitative transformation—a leap in the very tier of his life!

She suddenly widened her eyes, the empty cup in her hand almost slipping from her fingers. Her voice was filled with delight. "My Lord! You... your Power... this aura..." She stared at Su Li up and down in disbelief, feeling the invisible pressure radiating from him. "Divine Chosen?! You... you broke through to the Divine Chosen Tier?!"

This was simply outrageous! The Divine Chosen Tier was the threshold countless powerhouses pursued all their lives yet could hardly touch. Su Li’s strength had indeed already reached Champion Level, but he was still at least two Tiers away from the Divine Chosen Level. And yet in just one night... he had broken through smoothly!

Hilude instantly thought of Lady Bayonetta’s unique and powerful Moon Priestess bloodline, and of that wild and uncanny Energy fluctuation in the room last night. She sucked in a sharp breath. "It... it was because of Lady Bayonetta? Her Moonlight Power... its effect is that terrifying?! It directly helped you cross that heavenly chasm?!"

Even though she knew the Moon Priestess bloodline was extraordinary, seeing with her own eyes Su Li ascend in a single night to the legendary Divine Chosen Tier still struck her like a hammer. This far exceeded her understanding of Power progression.

There was nothing Su Li needed to hide from Hilude. He extended his hand, palm up. A strand of extremely pure crimson radiance, imbued with a terrifying Power fluctuation, danced and coiled around his fingertips like a living thing; even the surrounding space seemed to ripple faintly. Feeling the unprecedented torrent of Power surging within his body, he smiled and said, "It was her Power of Origin—majestic and so pure it defies imagination. During the removal of the Curse, that Moonlight Power surged like the tide and helped me smash through the final barrier."

He gazed at the Power leaping at his fingertips, eyes deep. "This really was an unexpected windfall. The Power of a Divine Chosen... is even stronger than I anticipated."

He himself hadn’t expected he would actually catch up to Hilude’s realm. This was a leap across a great divide, a true milestone.

Hilude stared at that strengthened Bloodline Power, the shock in her heart refusing to settle for a long time. In a single night, the Lord had not only defused the Council’s lethal conspiracy, but also subdued a Moon Priestess whose status was sensitive yet whose potential was immense, and on top of that his own strength had soared into the Divine Chosen Tier! This "relaxing trip" she had thought was only for gathering intelligence had evolved into such a nerve?racking and immensely rewarding turning point!

She took a deep breath, pressing down the turbulence in her chest. Her gaze once more became firm and razor sharp. "Congratulations, Lord! The Divine Chosen Tier... truly the heavens favor our Territory! With you here, those petty clowns in the Council are nothing to fear. Next, I’ll give my full cooperation to ensure Lady Bayonetta’s ’disappearance’ in the Parliament Building goes flawlessly. As for Senator Zuo Wei, I’ll go ’remind’ her to keep the appointment immediately." Her tone brimmed with confidence in Su Li’s Power and a cool composure toward the storm about to break.

Su Li drew back his Power, and the suffocating pressure vanished along with it. "Go, Hilude. Let this show... start on time. Once everything is settled with Bayonetta, we begin preparations for evacuation at once. The moment the Council negotiations conclude is when we move."

"Understood!" Hilude immediately reined in her emotions, her expression returning to crisp professionalism. "I’ll go arrange the evacuation routes and the support personnel right away. I’ll make sure the operation is flawless." Su Li’s advancement was a pleasant surprise, but right now the most important thing was executing the dangerous plan at hand.

His gaze also turned toward the Parliament Building, cold and filled with calculation. The chessboard of Marle Castle would be the storm he himself stirred.
