Chapter 804: A Test and an Assassination
As Mina swallowed the light spot, a row of system information appeared on the screen:

Storm Domain: Increases the effectiveness of wind-based skills by 50% and reduces energy strike damage to a certain extent.

……

Two amazing items dropped!

So powerful, and he's only a viscount? What rank of demon god is he?

But the battle in the Divine Realm wasn't over yet, and Da Chun hurriedly asked, "Ellen, can we stop the battle in the Divine Realm now?"

Eileen was quite excited: "Save it!"

Da Chun also immediately stopped the hurricane.

The next moment, the surrounding water scene began to shrink, and the energy emanating from the explosion of the demon god's physical body was also absorbed.

The once-flowing sands and marshes have turned back into a dry desert, with only the remaining howling sandstorms still raging.

Da Chun turned his attention back to the Divine Realm. In fact, there was no suspense anymore. With our army's home advantage, various lucky rules, control of the field, and time freeze, the invaders had already been crippled. What remained was a one-sided crushing defeat.

For a time, the third level of the Divine Realm was filled with dense black and red demonic energy, all of which was used to replenish the energy consumed in this battle.

Da Chun finally had a moment to look at the two divine artifacts that had dropped in this battle. He had to admit, everyone with a name or reputation was incredibly capable. These two divine artifacts were no worse than those sold in stores, and more importantly, they had the crucial domain attribute. This domain attribute, which reduced energy damage, was specifically designed to defend against divine artifact damage, though he wondered how much it would protect against.

Finally, amidst the cheers of the entire group, it finally arrived:

System notification: Congratulations! Battle over! Your team defeated 17 Sand Demons, gaining significant combat experience and boosting the strength of all members. Your Spirit Value +17, and you have obtained the following loot: 17 Fragmented Divine Cores. You have gained 34 Dark Sage Privilege Points, +100 Leadership Points, and successfully mastered the Level 10 Basic Leadership Aura.

Basic Leadership Aura Level 10: Increases the team's general attributes by 10%.

—System notification: The team has achieved a major victory, and morale has been greatly boosted. Your possessed Mirror God, Ellen, has gained the faith and worship of all the dancers, successfully advancing to a mid-level god and achieving a qualitative leap in strength.

……

Won!

Holy crap, 17 divine attributes! I have the aura! My privilege points are all in the hundreds of thousands, and Ellen has also advanced. This must be the power of faith!

But actually, it hasn't happened yet. The point of light that Mina swallowed should be the divine essence of Forgello, and that's the real reward.

Da Chun immediately asked, "Mina, how is it?" Mina shut her mouth and mumbled, "I'm digesting its energy. It's still struggling. Should I release it?"

Da Chun hurriedly asked, "Can you suppress it?"

Mina said, "It will take time."

Da Chun thought for a moment and said, "Its energy should be the purest, so I'll leave it to you to absorb and digest. You don't need to worry about anything else for now."

"Okay, master."

Mina is an absolute main force member, and all she lacks is a divine spark. Regardless of whether she is compatible with Nightmare, she should focus on improving her first.

The next moment, Ellen appeared beside Dachun and gave him a passionate hug: "Darling, I've reached the intermediate level! Although I consumed a lot of energy, I feel that my Divine Mirror is significantly stronger than before."

Da Chun was extremely pleased: "Everyone, while you rest, make the most of the time to absorb and transform energy."

Eileen exclaimed excitedly, "Of course! It pains me to see this demonic energy polluting my third level—everyone, let's gather on the third level and absorb the demonic energy there..."

Although we won, this battle consumed all the unlucky days I've had since I was imprisoned, and surprisingly, it didn't trigger a time rewind. It still hurts.

Then Lia came over, her expression grave: "This battle was of considerable scale. It's hard to say whether this demon servant came to test you or to assassinate you, but in any case, we won. From now on... let's be cautious. I'm going to rest."

"Okay, I will be very careful. Liya, please rest and recover as soon as possible."

Da Chun sighed inwardly, "Luckily, I had a plan on my alternate account! Wait, I'm still lying on the CEO's belly right now, how could I have any plans..."

Huh? A small-scale setup? Da Chun suddenly realized the biggest flaw.

Previously, the alt account contacted Libnashi and told her that as a rookie, he was extremely ostracized by his clan and needed a powerful opponent on the Emperor's side so that he would have value. He asked her to support this opponent, which was the main account of me, ranked number one in the world.

At the time, I thought there was nothing wrong with this statement. Even if Libnashi was the Emperor's servant, I was not afraid to tell the Emperor directly. But the problem lies here. In the Emperor's view, if he killed my real self, wouldn't that be the same as making the Hell Rookie lose his value?
So, the emperor established this system. If I'm capable and can withstand it, that's a test. Whether I'm used as fuel afterward is a matter for later consideration. If I'm not up to par, then I'll just be killed?

Holy shit! !
Thinking about this, Da Chun broke out in a cold sweat. So, it can be basically confirmed that Libnashi is the Emperor's demon servant.

In short, thankfully we made it through.

Then, Da Chun suddenly remembered that he was still in a competition. How many people were left in the arena?

When I switched to another match, I was surprised to find that all the players were singing, dancing, and striking poses, shouting some streamer slang, and there was no fighting at all!
Uh, right, with such a huge audience like me, why bother fighting? Wouldn't it be better to spend more time streaming?

Da Chun really wanted to continue drinking, but then he suddenly realized that if he made a move, Shi Lao would probably know that he had settled things in the desert and would come looking for him.

This is troublesome. I leveled up 6 times in this battle. How am I supposed to explain this? Should I say the opponent was weak? No, the opponent's imposing presence couldn't possibly be weak.

Or pretend you don't know anything and say that when the fight started, I was possessed by a demon and couldn't control anything.

That's the only explanation. The battle between the sea monster and the wind demon was evenly matched. It can also explain the thunder and lightning in the sky... As for whether or not to give her the 17 crystal cores? She can't. If she does, she'll feel like she wants to burn the crystal cores instead of pulling the cart.

In short, keep the game stable for now and wait for Sheila to arrive.
