Chapter 802: Actual Combat in the Divine Realm, Divine Artisan-level Astrology

Da Chun opened the locator in the expedition pack he had set out with and watched as Xila's locator light disappeared outside the detection range.

As expected of the Tenth Elder, there was actually no need to consider her safety at all; it's just that life is like a play, and the performance was a waste of effort.

Now that she's gone, let's begin. In this dark night filled with sand and dust, even if her all-knowing eyes remained here, she probably wouldn't be able to see who's who.

Divine-level Void Hurricane activated! If you're going to go all out, unleash Void Lightning.

The Hurricane spell, once formed by the wind, instantly circled around Da Chun. With the sand pit blocking its path, the whirlwind became even more solid, much like a bullet accelerating in a gun barrel.

Da Chun's confidence soared. After all, the Druid class is different from the Mage. Druids borrow the power of heaven and earth, while Mages mainly rely on their own cultivation. So when encountering the same person who is acting as a lookout, Druids become stronger when facing a stronger opponent and will borrow some of their strength first.

Then, as an elder priest of a secret sect, should he ask the organization for another boost?

Da Chun pondered carefully: what was the Emperor's demonic servant here for? If it was to test whether he had fattened up enough, then he couldn't borrow from the organization. After all, the judge had said that the Primitive Witchcraft Cult was a threat to the Empire, so it would definitely be under full surveillance. If he borrowed its power, he would most likely be monitored by the Emperor.

Moreover, this is in the old world, on two different servers. If there is any abnormal data transmission from the new world to the old world, the Ten Elders will know without a second thought that it is related to me.

At this moment, the howling of the storm surrounded them from all sides.

The magic crystal screen was now ablaze with red clouds—Warning! A mental-type sand demon has been detected…

Holy crap, how many are there?
Ellen tensed up: "Mina, Antifa, the knights, defend the first level with all your might..."

We can only defend now.

Just then, a faint flash of lightning appeared in the night sky.

Thunder! Will it rain?

Da Chun activates subjective weather prediction via astrology – Astrologer's professional tip: You have activated your subjective weather prediction skill. The current weather is "no rain, strong storm". Please select the type of weather you subjectively predict.

Da Chun was suddenly taken aback. Previously, the order of success was based on the predictions, but this time there was no order; he was being asked to choose for himself.
Because the other party is a god, and gods cannot predict the future? So, are we just going to gamble on a "storm" in the desert?
But we can't gamble like this without any basis! We've been playing with astrology for so long, this thing is like casting a trap before you take the bait, shooting an arrow before you draw the target.

There's no rain, but there's water—I have an ocean!
Dark Remia personally demonstrated this in the mithril mine: once the Divine Realm was activated, the surrounding environment turned into a sea, directly flooding the mine! (Chapter 373, "Divine Realm")
So, if the Divine Realm is activated, releasing the sea and then being swept into the sky by a tornado, wouldn't that count as a storm? If the prediction is correct, shouldn't I be given Divine Craftsman-level Astrology? With Divine Craftsman-level Astrology... I wonder if it would be useful in combat?

In short, let's discuss this with Ellen first: "Darling, in this battle, should we use the Divine Realm, just like when Dark Remia came, to flush out the seawater?"

Eileen paused for a moment: "Would washing the seawater out drown this demon?"

This demon can obviously fly, right? Da Chunhan said, "It probably won't drown, but it might trigger more lightning, and maybe it will be struck."

After all, it's difficult for hot, dry winds in the desert to generate lightning. There must be water vapor to create airflow friction, such as a temperature and pressure difference, for lightning to occur.

Eileen, however, was a little reluctant: "Releasing this seawater will result in a significant loss of energy..."

Da Chun was also very conflicted. After all, his idea was unreliable. Even if he succeeded in reaching the God-level Astrology, he would be at a huge loss if he found it was useless!
Ellen suddenly made up her mind: "My dear is right. Saving so much energy is just feeding the Emperor. We might as well take a gamble! But I have a tactic. Let all the surrounding mental sand demons invade first. After we release our divine domain to defeat the demon god, I believe they won't be able to escape. Then we can devour them all to replenish the energy we lost in this battle!"

This is a situation where you only consider winning and not losing, right?
We're fighting with our backs against the wall; we have no way to lose!
Da Chun went all out: "Okay! Let's do it this way! I'll let them in first!"

—System prompt: You have activated the Divine Realm skill "Cage of Roots". Do you want to open the entrance to the Cage of Roots?

Open!
Sure enough, a large opening appeared in the roots that were coiled around the first layer of the divine realm.

Like opening a window in the dead of winter, the Sand Demon's shrill screams rushed in like a raging storm, causing Da Chun's screen to shake and blur. It turned out that the reason I had been able to ignore the Sand Demon's cries along the way was because I was blocked by the outermost layer of roots in this divine realm.

The next moment, Da Chun's screen alarm went off repeatedly in red:
System notification: Warning! Your consciousness has been invaded by a powerful mental sand demon. You must do everything in your power to deal with it…

System notification: Warning! Your consciousness...

System notification: Warning! ...The Divine Realm has been invaded...

Here it comes! A huge cloud of red clouds, like a waterfall, poured down from the opening created by the roots. The entire first level was shrouded in a red mist. Da Chun's screen vibrated and blurred, and the loud noise made it impossible to see or hear anything. It was a huge pile of noise and light pollution garbage that had entered!

—Druid Class Warning for Voidstorm: Warning! Your consciousness and body have been severely impacted, and your Cyclone spell is about to fail!

Holy crap, failed?

Close the door right now!

Ailian's voice came through, but Dachun couldn't hear it or care. All he could do was maintain the hurricane with all his might and not interrupt it with his spell.

The screen suddenly trembled violently, and a giant wave roared—System notification: Your possessed Mirror God has activated the Divine Realm!

Da Chun felt the speedboat he was on suddenly float up, surrounded by a large curtain of water and shimmering light!

Lightning flashed again in the night sky!
Under the light of the lightning, Da Chun finally saw clearly that the waterspout shot into the sky, and within a radius of more than 100 meters, there was a stretch of quicksand and water.

So this is the power of Ellen's initial-stage godhood, and the range of its influence. While it's not exactly earth-shattering, it's still—

A mocking laugh suddenly came from the air: "What's the use?"

He spoke! Perhaps—

Da Chun said, "It's too hot!"

Da Chun suddenly realized that he was being tricked into speaking again, but he still managed to finish: "I want it to rain!"

The voice in the air laughed loudly: "You want to use lightning to defeat me? But I am the god of storms, and I am not afraid of lightning."

What the hell!

Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the rain began to fall sparsely.

Is this considered rain?

But when Da Chun saw the skill of predicting bad luck, he felt strangely familiar. Wasn't this the same skill that the old astrologer gave me when she gave me an astrological glass ball and made me fight the Dark Soul Witch, causing her to fail at casting spells?
