Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 136 Turning Point

The Valkyrie descended from the sky, wielding divinely bestowed soldiers, and transformed into a soaring fire phoenix.

She displayed elegant and swift martial arts skills, her fighting style was similar to that of the goddess Verna, the divine power she wielded was of the same origin as Verna's, her landing posture was exactly the same as Verna's, and the face revealed after removing her helmet was also exactly the same as Verna's.
So, what exactly is the difference between her and Verna?

“Unlike you, this is a sister who respects me a lot!” Alexie said, hands on her hips, beaming with pride.

“After all, I’m more like a sister to her than you, Verna,” another “Alexene” who had just landed said to Verna with a smile, putting her arm around the other Alexene.

Verna was stunned. The other person's confident and sharp demeanor was even more like herself than she was.

The ideal "perfect person" is always beyond reality.

The newborn created by divine power is Alexie's ideal invincible little sister!

Verna hesitated for a moment, then opened her eyes and vaguely sensed the true nature of the situation. This was also her sister! An incarnation of shadow and divine power!

"My sister has become two?!"

Verna was completely confused, but seeing her sister, who was noticeably more cheerful than before, she couldn't help but chuckle.

She remembered her childhood, when her confident older sister would tell her, "I'm your older sister, I'll protect you."

When did my sister stop smiling, and only feel timid and uneasy when facing me?

She was really foolish to keep worrying about giving it away as a gift. If I really didn't care about sisterly affection, why would I leave this weakness behind?

She had always been aware of her sister's inferiority complex and fears. But these things are hard to explain with words.

Only when you're truly on the same level can you calmly look at certain things.

"It seems you received a great gift from your mother." Let's pretend those things never happened and see what happens next.

Verna could tell that Alexne was no longer the first-tier priest she used to be. Now, the divine power fluctuations emanating from her were at the level of a grand priest!
The priesthood, as a devout person who shares power and grace with God, has the most illogical growth trajectory.

As long as the gods are willing to expend their divine power, they can perform miracles and create a powerful priest-level expert on the spot.

In fact, the patriarch of each family in Menzodilka is a high priest, or "matriarch". They may not have been high priests before becoming patriarchs, but they quickly completed the advancement after becoming matriarchs.

Does that sound a bit counterintuitive? Actually, if we think of the gods as a bureaucratic system, with Him at the top of the pyramid, we can more vividly illustrate this subtle selection system.

He can select talents and reward those who have made contributions. You can work your way up through experience or try to make contributions to get selected. Once you are in a position of power, unless you make a serious mistake, He cannot demote or dismiss you at will.

If you lack the necessary skills, you may be stuck in a certain job class for the rest of your life (you would have been doomed during Rose's time).

This is also the root of the Dark Elves' love for infighting. They are truly a one-person-one-position society, and if they want better treatment, they can only climb up the ranks.

Internal strife is already part of the Dark Elves' racial culture, but the competition was more brutal and bloody during the time of Lolth, while it is now slightly more benign (assassination and internal strife will be investigated).

The most obvious change is the absence of the Dark Elf tradition of midnight battles where "if it's not discovered, it's not a crime."

When her sister mentioned "Mother's (Silver Bottle Mirror Woman) reward", Alexie pondered for a moment.

Alexia did receive a divine gift and a promotion, but that was merely icing on the cake for the victors, an exceptional promotion for talented individuals, and simply accelerated her own growth.

She first underwent a qualitative change before receiving this gift, which accelerated her "incubation" process.

Even without this gift, what was meant to come would have come sooner or later.

While stating "No, it is not Him" ​​is a statement of reality, denying God is considered quite blasphemous in religious countries.

But Alexia said it out loud, and she said it to her sister, who was a goddess.

Looking back, Alexie saw her new "older sister," wielding a flaming spear and exuding an imposing aura, smiling at her. Alexie laughed.

"Someone gave me a very big gift."

"Really? Then we owe you a favor. Tell me when we get back."

Verna smiled. More than her sister's improvement in strength, she was happy about the change in her mindset. She believed in herself.

She also gained confidence.

She dares to look at herself directly now.

My usually strong-willed younger sister suddenly felt like crying. She had withstood so much pressure, but she had never received the most important understanding.

"But now, let 'this strength' be a blessing from our mother to us."

Verna glanced around and saw that the matriarchs were all looking at her with fear and unease.

When the city lord's gaze swept over them, everyone's eyes became full of respect and obedience.

Some of the quick-thinking ones even took immediate action, driving their servants and slaves to fight the enemy.

Three goddesses in one family?! Even if there's some exaggeration involved, the faint fluctuations of divine power are enough to prove the strength of their "divine favor."

From this moment on, all matriarchs must rein in their ambitions.

They were helpless, but could only wait again. It seemed that even the so-called hawks would have to restrain themselves for a while.

Suddenly, the Dark Elves' power surged. The matriarchs wanted to prove their loyalty to the city lord, and several of them even stepped forward themselves.

The battlefield support capabilities of the high priests are undeniable, and as they were taken off the field one by one, the balance of the war tipped once again.

The high priests continuously unleashed group healing abilities, providing support and buffs to slaves, servants, and warriors, and also summoning various otherworldly creatures to serve as cannon fodder.

The "strategic supplies" that were originally prepared became "the price to express loyalty" under the watchful eyes of the three sisters.

It looks like the attacking side will have to retreat before evening.

Neither of the two "goddesses" attempted to kill the beast prince, knowing the risks were far too great.

Even though the newborn "Valkyrie" has incorporated some divine power, she has not yet reached the level of a true "goddess." She still needs time to grow, and the new "twins" have a lot of lessons to learn.

Kuku's first seed matured prematurely due to the special nature of the divine blood and the priest.

This stabilized the position of Lord of Mosodirka, which in turn affected the overall contribution on the battlefield.

This, in turn, suppressed several impending rebellions, thus affecting the overall long-term war situation.

So, did the demon Sodirka, who was originally destined to be destroyed in the oracle, end up on a different path?

Rean and his group were never uninvolved either.

The contrast between doves and hawks has shifted again, and their attitudes toward the people on Earth will also change. Whether or not they have this "ally" will further alter the progress of sealing the evil god.

"Fate has begun to turn. Who has laid out these pieces here?" At this moment, even the gods cannot see through the future.
-

The sisters on the city wall reconciled, and so did the "engaged couples" in the ambassadorial delegation.

Rean never imagined that one-seventh of the Heroic Souls' inheritance would indirectly change the fate of countless people. He had actually always underestimated the value of the Heroic Souls' inheritance.

That is the legacy of the ancients who once reached the pinnacle of the world, and the possibility of creating another historical hero.

One plus one here does not equal two. When a hero's potential is inherited by a heroic spirit, their future achievements can easily multiply countless times.

The value of these skills had not been apparent until recently, simply because the successors were all young people and new recruits, and it took time for them to demonstrate their abilities.

When this legacy fell into the hands of a "high-ranking priest," with a foundation sufficient for her to make a difference, she naturally blossomed instantly.

The arrival of the goddess sisters at night signifies a shift in the winds of fate.

"Perhaps we can sign an alliance between the two cities right now."
