Chapter 526 I'm Surrounded by Traitors
That feeling of shattering was like the entire world's support suddenly disappearing, space collapsing in distortion, and all senses falling along with the world's collapse.
Then I suddenly woke up from my dream.
Yes, I'm really awake!
"What...are you guys up to?"
The upper body of the God of Thunder, controlled by the scattered soldiers, hadn't even landed. He looked at his four palms and the complete lightning pattern on his chest, seemingly still not awakened from the nightmare of Xu Ning stealing his Heart of Thunder.
"Yes, Nasita, what are you doing..."
Xu Ning turned around with a look of utter despair, "Don't be fooled by how easily I beat him up just now. I used all my trump cards in such a short time. I don't know if I'll be so lucky again..."
Naxida stood behind Xu Ning, twisting her fingers, her face also filled with apology.
"I...I...I'm so sorry. Although his mental state hasn't reached the level of a god, his body is indeed a true divine body, and his joints are full of hidden mechanisms. My original intention was to have you fight him repeatedly in the dream, then lure him into using all his techniques, and finally defeat him by pooling everyone's wisdom...but...I didn't expect you to succeed on the first try..."
Not only that, but they successfully defeated the scattered troops.
Xu Ning looked at the lightning patterns on the upper body of the God of Justice and squeezed his left hand hard.
The moment the two Thor's Hearts merged, Xu Ning felt the so-called divine authority for the first time.
Why did so many demons and gods, who already possessed extraordinary abilities and could command the wind and rain across the continent, and who could always escape even if they encountered a powerful enemy, fight so fiercely over the ranking of the seven governors?
Because the Heart of God, which represents the power of the ruler, is really useful.
Xu Ning felt that as long as he could reunite the two Thunder God Hearts, relying on the power he had just experienced...
Scattered soldiers? Hmph, I could smash half of their bodies to pieces with a casual slap. Even if Thor Balzeb unleashed her so-called "Unthinkable Blade," it wouldn't be able to withstand my attack...
Xu Ning suddenly choked on his thoughts.
Why did I suddenly feel that "Wu Xiang Yi Dao" was not so bad after all?
Scattered soldiers can alter celestial phenomena and shatter large ships with lightning.
Can I shatter a mountain and split open a sea with the help of the Heart of Two Gods?
Back then, the movie "Thunder" cleaved the entire sea area in two with a single strike, severing the very foundation of Orobas. Such an unexpected strike was blocked by the combined efforts of an Eye of Wind and an Eye of Thunder.
The wind god shattered mountains into islands, the rock god condensed spears to suppress demons, and the thunder god cleaved the sea with a single strike. Has anyone seen such power in the last five hundred years, enough to turn the entire Teyvat upside down?
What are they hiding?
Xu Ning turned to look at the ashamed Little Lucky Grass King, and an idea surged into his mind uncontrollably.
“She used the Grass God’s unique dream ability from the moment I started the war. If it wasn’t to prevent the skirmishers from getting out of control, would she really be afraid of a god who watched the Order of the Fathers use her power to create the whole thing?”
"What if she was initially guarding against me?"
A god of "wisdom" who can be manipulated at will—what a ridiculous proposition.
"It's okay, I can just beat him up again."
"Heh, you laughable ant, do you think you're the only one who experienced the dream and learned how to deal with me?"
This time, the skirmisher acted decisively, smashing the platform of the pier and causing the entire machine to fall downwards, instantly completing the bridging.
"You think you can use the same trick again to shatter my lightning patterns? You think I didn't see what you just did?"
"After I kill you, I will take the Heart of God from your gourd and become the true God above Gods!"
"laugh!"
Xu Ning scoffed. "A god above gods, how dare you even think of that?"
This world is so complex, even my old man keeps a low profile, yet you two are so arrogant.
However, the skirmishers played very conservatively this time, but their tactics were incredibly varied and impressive.
Landmines were thrown down, so numerous that they triggered Xu Ning's phobia.
That thing called the Annihilation Machine, which flies in the sky and is stationary on the ground, almost made Xu Ning think he had arrived on a battlefield in the future, where artillery shells, landmines, and drones were bombarding everything.
What's even more infuriating is that this skirmisher's four arms are now constantly engaged, with various elemental powers being converted into different types of energy in each of his four hands. You don't even know whether he'll unleash lightning or water magic with his next wave of his hand.
The little Dijiang who was following him was as capable as ever, with countless grass elemental balls aiming recklessly at the chests of the stragglers.
After realizing the little thing's intention, the soldier actually freed one hand to protect the lightning pattern on his chest.
By the time they break His arm, they won't know how long it will be; they can't hold on that long.
What's even more upsetting is that when Xu Ning touched the inner sanctum of the Dust Concealment Cave, a deafening roar of curses immediately erupted from within.
"What are you doing! I'm already awake. You think I felt nothing from that dream? My head is still buzzing. So, instead of taking the lightning and being hit on the head, why don't you bring Qingyi?"
"Take your old man's $..."
Suddenly, the sound of a fight erupted from the dust-hidden gourd.
Xu Ning helplessly called out into the gourd, "It's alright. It's all just a dream. When you wake up, it'll just feel like you had a nightmare. It won't harm you in the slightest. Didn't you realize that just now?"
"Experience your grandpa..."
A middle finger quickly emerged from the gourd, then was pulled down again, making a clattering sound...
Xu Ning wanted to offer one more word of advice.
Unexpectedly, Nasita suddenly raised her hand and shouted, "I... I made a mistake just now. I didn't have time to use the dream ability this time, and the elemental energy in the space has become chaotic. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to quietly pull you into the dream again..."
The surrounding sounds suddenly fell silent.
Except for one of the Annihilation Machines chasing Xu Ning who seized the opportunity to fire a burst of bullets, even the skirmishers stopped in shock.
Amidst his busy schedule, Xu Ning glanced back at Naxida, whose face was full of guilt.
"When you asked me to come down with you, you didn't say you were going to help the other side!"
"Sorry……"
Xu Ning smiled wryly and waved his hand at Nasida, "Don't apologize. I don't want you to only feel remorse at such a crucial juncture in your life. Just watch and see. I still have some ideas. Of course, if you have any good ideas, use them quickly. I really don't know how long I can withstand this injury."
Xu Ning had stopped hoping for Naxida after that.
After confirming that Nasita had stopped using the strange ability to create dreams, Xu Ning felt relieved.
After all, although the skirmishers have changed their tactics, they are still hesitant to use lightning elements against their enemies because they are wary of the Golden Thunder God's Heart hidden in Xu Ningchen's gourd.
This was undoubtedly a self-inflicted wound for the scattered soldiers whose main energy source was the Heart of Thor, while Xu Ning began to unleash his thunder magic without restraint.
Xu Ning's use of lightning element, in terms of lineage, should actually be attributed to the combined training of Yae no Shinji, Lei Yingdian, Lei Dian Jiangjun, and even Fu She Dage.
These individuals are undoubtedly masters of playing with explosives.
Xu Ning even complained at times that Tianmu Fifteen's progress was too slow, and his lightning element clone still didn't have a suitable longsword.
In critical moments, when facing the enemy, one still has to rely on the "Peak-Slaying Blade" given by the Emperor to hold the line.
Although the addition of the "Golden Peak" shield greatly enhances his survivability, he still finds it somewhat difficult to use lightning magic.
Xu Ning did not summon his clones to fight on multiple fronts. The scattered soldiers had too many ways to attack, and if he couldn't control his clones in time, it would be a headache for ten days or half a month if one of them was injured.
A ring of lightning rose slowly from behind Xu Ning, like a flame.
This is a unique aura belonging to the Liyue Master. In the end, Fushe's will poured all its power into Xu Ning's clone, so Xu Ning's lightning-attribute clone always carries this aura.
The fusion of the two divine hearts, although formed in a dream, was still significant for Xu Ning, who instantly grasped the supreme power of lightning.
Although he was unable to retain that power, Xu Ning seemed to have clearly grasped the true essence of power in that final gesture.
That method of using power is not about what level the Heart of God within Jiuquan can achieve in terms of its output.
Rather, it's about how to use the power you currently possess to unleash its unique characteristics and power.
To give an analogy, it's like someone has an oversized battery. As long as they can activate the battery's charge and the current is large enough, they can still electrocute someone.
But now, he only needs to release a few insignificant electrical signals into his brain to disrupt his perception and he can easily kill the enemy.
A lightning ring flashed behind Xu Ning, and his entire body suddenly moved like lightning, traversing the entire arena.
The stragglers suddenly lost sight of Xu Ning.
The machines released by the scattered soldiers trembled on the spot as if their circuits had become disordered when Xu Ning casually brushed them over.
The only way the scattered soldiers can find Xu Ning's trail is by looking at the direction of that seemingly slender cluster of grass elemental energy.
After all, that void terminal, which resembled a miniature Dijiang, remained faithfully by Xu Ning's side, showing no sign of leaving.
"It feels like there's suddenly a mole in my life. This feeling is really unpleasant."
Xu Ning spun around the scattered soldiers' mechs, and the lightning ring behind him suddenly turned, a bolt of lightning quickly condensing into a disc in Xu Ning's left palm.
"Thunder in the Palm!"
A lightning spell unique to Liyue was suddenly unleashed from Xu Ning's palm.
In the blink of an eye, the lightning struck the joint of one of the soldiers' arms, causing it to droop limply.
