"Three deities, what a grand display."
Her voice was not loud, but it clearly pierced through the flowing silver halo and icy blue chill, reaching the ears of every deity present.
"It seems you planned this all along, deliberately setting a trap for me here."
Eva neither denied nor admitted it.
She merely turned her head slightly, her gaze shifting from Bibi Dong for a moment, as if confirming the direction of the villa in the east of the city.
The crimson-gold light of the sea god continued to rise, like a lighthouse being slowly filled. Ariel's legacy continues.
“Since Your Holiness the Pope is already here, why don’t you stay here?” Eva’s voice returned to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong chuckled. She said no more. Dark purple resentment surged from her body like a burst dam, rushing towards Eva.
That power carried the resentment and corrosive force unique to the Rakshasa god. Wherever it passed, fine black lines began to appear on the edges of the silver mirrors floating in the air, like metal surfaces corroded by acid.
The Snow Queen reacted even faster than her.
At the same instant that dark purple torrent surged forth, she had already raised her right hand.
The ice crystals that were slowly falling in the air suddenly accelerated at that moment, as if injected with a new force, changing from a scattered falling state to a rapidly spinning vortex, heading towards the dark purple torrent.
The icy blue halo and the dark purple resentment collided silently in mid-air.
There was no loud noise, no explosion.
The two forces silently merged, squeezed, and annihilated at the contact surface, like the diffusion process of a drop of ink falling into clear water being slowed down countless times. The dark purple lines spread slowly like ink threads in the ice-blue halo, and were covered by layer after layer of newly formed ice crystals.
The nine-colored deer moved at the same time.
Her figure appeared silently, like ripples on water, slightly behind Bibi Dong. She raised her right hand, and a warm, nine-colored light emanated from her palm, precisely covering Bibi Dong's feet.
The moment the nine-colored light touched Bibi Dong's body, the edge of the continuously rising dark purple resentment was enveloped by a warm halo.
Like the white steam rising from a raging fire immersed in water, the black lines that were originally spreading rapidly became much slower under the influence of the nine-colored light.
Bibi Dong felt that her divine power was being suppressed by two completely different forces at the same time.
One layer comes from the extreme cold of the Snow Queen, and the other from the purification of the Nine-Colored Deer.
Eva's silver aura had silently adhered to her back, spreading outwards from her shoulder blades like a pair of silver hands closing together, enveloping her in a constantly narrowing area.
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, and dark purple divine power surged wildly within her body, attempting to break through the three layers of restrictive restraints at the same time.
But at that very moment, Qian Renxue made her move.
Her figure flashed past Bibi Dong's side, and golden holy flames suddenly rose from the longsword in her hand, transforming into a golden sword light that was condensed to the extreme, precisely slashing towards the edge of Eva's approaching silver halo.
Her movements were extremely fast, beyond the limits of any visual tracking.
The sword light landed precisely at the boundary where the silver halo and the icy chill alternated, and the energy structure of that area was the weakest in her perception.
The golden sword light crashed down, exploding into a blinding golden light at the spot where silver halos and icy cold air alternately covered, briefly creating a fine crack in the energy structure of that area.
Bibi Dong seized that fleeting opening. Dark purple divine power surged outward from the crack, simultaneously pushing the closing silver and ice-blue halos apart by a distance.
The two women floated back to back in the energy layer that had been briefly torn apart. One of them, with a radiant aura surrounding her, held a golden longsword burning with holy flames.
His gaze swept over the three figures who were readjusting their surroundings, like two beasts cornered.
When Bibi Dong spoke, her voice was as cold as a knife chilled to the bone: "So you've finally decided to take action."
Qian Renxue didn't turn around, her voice calm yet tinged with complexity: "I didn't do it for you."
Bibi Dong chuckled but didn't refute. She knew Qian Renxue was telling the truth.
But she didn't care; as long as she could escape this battle, nothing else mattered.
Qian Renxue's gaze was fixed on Eva. She could sense that Eva's aura was becoming more stable than before, as if some kind of layout that had been repeatedly confirmed was being brought to its final state.
“Eva,” Qian Renxue spoke, her voice still clear amidst the buzzing of the burning holy flames, “Are you really going to take this far?”
Eva didn't answer, but her aura suddenly changed.
The silver halo, like a silver flower suddenly ignited, burst forth in the twilight.
The silvery aura that was slowly seeping in began to spread outwards at an unprecedented speed after being injected with a new driving force.
The Snow Queen and the Nine-Colored Deer moved almost at the same time.
A long, icy blue spear materialized in the Ice Queen's palm. The spear's body emanated an extremely cold aura, as if compressed to its limit, and its tip pointed directly at Qian Renxue's chest.
The Nine-Colored Deer's attack was much gentler. She simply raised her right hand, her five fingers slightly spread, and a warm, nine-colored light emanated from her palm, silently covering Bibi Dong's body, forming a pincer attack with the expanding silver halo.
The three gods acted simultaneously, and three completely different yet equally divine powers converged at the same point at the same moment.
At that moment, Qian Renxue's golden holy flames suddenly surged up, like a golden lotus flower that had been ignited blooming behind her, pushing back the approaching silver light and cold air by several inches.
Bibi Dong's dark purple resentment also erupted to its extreme. A dark purple sickle materialized in her hand, which she fiercely swung down towards the Nine-Colored Deer.
However, the encirclement by the three forces has already been formed.
Qian Renxue's golden holy flames were directly intercepted by the Ice Queen's ice-blue spear. The spear tip and the holy flames rubbed against each other on the narrow contact surface, producing a fine, piercing sound.
The nine-colored light of the Nine-Colored Deer was like a net being slowly pulled tight, wrapping around Bibi Dong's figure from the outside. The dark purple sickle was still a few inches away from her when it was enveloped by the layers of light and could not be pushed forward even an inch.
Eva's silver aura had converged from all directions, encompassing the last remaining space around the two women.
Bibi Dong swung her dark purple sickle outwards, attempting to sever a gap in the closing silver aura.
Qian Renxue's golden longsword followed closely behind, slashing at the Ice Queen's ice-blue spear in a straight trajectory, attempting to create a path for her the moment she broke through the encirclement.
Chapter 600 Closing the Net
Eva wouldn't give them that chance. She raised her right hand, spread her fingers, and then gently closed them.
The silver halo completely merged at that moment, like a gate simultaneously pushed to its finish line, completely enveloping the two figures attempting to break through.
Qian Renxue's golden holy flames burned within the silver prison, frantically intertwining, colliding, tearing, and reassembling within the confined space with the icy blue chill and dark purple resentment.
But her power is being consumed layer by layer, and the holy flames that were once like an inexhaustible source are dimming at a visible speed.
She looked at Eva, her golden eyes swirling with extremely complex emotions.
In the distance, towards the villa in the east of the city, a crimson-gold light was steadily rising, like a lighthouse being slowly filled with light.
The process of passing on the Sea God's legacy is nearing its end.
In that place, illuminated by silver, gold, blue, and purple light, I felt as if I were slowly floating in a boundless golden ocean.
The golden light enveloped her like warm seawater, flowing slowly along her meridians and seeping into every corner of her bones, flesh, and soul.
The power of the sea god is merging with her in an extremely gentle yet irreversible way.
The rhythms of the tides, the direction of ocean currents, the formation and dissipation of storms, the breath and heartbeat of the entire ocean, are like rivers flowing into the depths of her consciousness, slowly filling every blank space in her perception.
She could feel her connection with the sea becoming stronger and stronger.
Those things that she used to need to repeatedly perceive to touch, those ancient knowledge about the ocean, are now entering her soul at a speed beyond her imagination, as if they had always belonged to her and had just been waiting to be remembered.
Ariel opened her eyes and looked at the space covered by crimson-gold light.
She could feel the power within her body becoming more and more harmonious, like a lake being slowly filled, with the water level rising irreversibly.
The final threshold that stood between her and the position of the sea god was becoming thinner and thinner.
Ariel took a deep breath, her consciousness like a waterway being infused with new currents, slowly extending deeper into the distance.
She could feel herself touching the complete authority that belonged to the sea god, like a pair of hands tentatively pushing open a heavy door.
The door was slowly opening.
And in that silver prison, the resistance of the inhabitants was becoming weaker and weaker.
Qian Renxue's golden holy flames had been largely consumed by the continuous suppression of Eva's silver aura and the Ice Queen's extreme cold, and the light on the sword was dimming at a visible speed.
Bibi Dong's dark purple resentment was also enveloped by the purifying power of the Nine-Colored Deer. The black patterns that had once surged like a tide were fading away layer by layer, revealing the energy channels below that had been suppressed to the point of near stagnation.
Eva stood in that silver prison, her face contorted with rage. She lay there, a strange, indifferent expression on her face. "Oh, that prison!" she murmured.
She slowly closed her fingers.
The towering structure, formed from condensed silver light, began to slowly shrink inward.
Qian Renxue could feel her body being enveloped by an invisible force. The force was not violent, but it had an irresistible penetrating power, like spring water soaking into sand.
Her consciousness was slowly becoming blurred, and the golden holy flames that had once burned like raging fire within her body were gradually extinguishing.
The golden light faded from her sword, receded from the edges of her wings, and vanished from the depths of her eyes. Like fine sand carried away by the receding tide, it revealed the damp rock layers beneath, soaked by the seawater.
Qian Renxue tried to struggle, attempting to mobilize the last bit of divine power within her body to resist the converging force. But she could no longer lift her arms; the divine power that had once been as responsive as her arms was like a frozen river, slowly stagnating and solidifying in her meridians.
Her gaze passed through the blurring silver halo and landed on Eva's face, which was as calm as an ancient well.
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, as if to say something, but found that her throat felt like it was being gently blocked by something.
Then her eyelids slowly lowered, and golden wings silently folded behind her, like a bird folding its wings.
Bibi Dong's condition is worse than hers.
After being suppressed layer by layer by the purifying power of the Nine-Colored Deer and the extreme cold power of the Ice Queen, that dark purple resentment had long lost its initial sharpness.
The black lines that once surged like a tide became extremely thin under the silver halo, like a drop of ink that had been repeatedly diluted and could no longer leave a clear mark in clear water.
Bibi Dong's figure slowly descended in the silver halo, her gaze still fixed on Eva, her purple eyes churning with anger, resentment, and a stubbornness that was being slowly eroded.
But her willpower could no longer support that stubbornness.
Her eyelids also slowly fell down, and the dark purple light flickered slightly the moment she completely closed her eyes, then vanished completely like a candle flame extinguished by the wind.
The two women floated in the center of the silvery halo, their aura gradually calming down in an extremely slow but irreversible way.
Qian Renxue's golden holy flames have been completely extinguished, and the golden light spots that once flowed around her are disappearing one by one like ashes blown away by the wind.
Bibi Dong's dark purple resentment had also completely subsided. The black lines that had once entangled her body had all faded away, revealing her face below, which appeared abnormally pale due to excessive consumption of divine power.
Eva stood on the silver prison, silently gazing at the two sleeping figures.
Then she slowly raised her right hand, closing her fingers.
The silvery light slowly began to shrink inward, gently enveloping the two sleeping figures within it.
Silver light flowed within the prison, isolating everything inside from external perception.
As the solid mass continued to shrink, it grew smaller and smaller, gradually shrinking from a size that initially covered several feet to the size of only one person, and then continued to shrink until it finally turned into a silver ball of light the size of a palm, floating above Eva's palm.
The surface of the sphere of light shimmered with a fine sheen, like dewdrops soaked in moonlight, and inside, two blurry figures could be vaguely seen sleeping peacefully.
Eva looked down at the silver orb of light above her palm, then put it into her body.
The silver orb vanished the moment it merged into her body, like a drop of ink falling into clear water, leaving no trace.
It will take them a long time to wake up.
The seal imposed by the three gods will slowly seep into, permeate, and cover the depths of their consciousness, like a thin veil that is being repeatedly layered, completely isolating them from the outside world.
In the direction of the East City Villa, the crimson-gold light reached its peak at this moment.
The light, like a giant pillar that had been ignited, shot into the sky from the courtyard, turning the entire twilight into a flowing golden ocean.
The air trembled slightly under the impact of the light, like the surface of water rippling in circles of fine energy.
Ariel floated in the very center of the light, her fiery red hair cascading in the golden halo like a ignited flame.
Those dark blue eyes have now completely transformed into a golden color, sharing the same origin as the power of the sea god, like two stars that have been smelted, shimmering with a warm and profound luster in the light.
She could feel that her connection with the entire sea was now completely secure, and the last barrier between her and the sea god's position had completely disappeared.
A golden halo slowly condensed behind her.
Golden patterns, undulating like ocean waves, flowed along the edge of the ring, slowly swirling in the crimson-gold light, exuding an ancient and vast aura.
At this moment, the position of the sea god was fully bestowed upon her.
Eva walked slowly from the silver halo, her steps neither hurried nor slow.
Her deep purple robes swayed gently in the night breeze, and her emerald eyes reflected the golden aura surrounding Ariel as it receded in the twilight.
“Congratulations.” Eva stopped in front of Ariel, nodded slightly, and said with a hint of pride, “From now on, you are the true Lord of the Sea.”
As Ariel slowly descended from mid-air, her feet touched the bricks of the city wall. The power of the sea god within her surged slightly, like a newly flowing waterway, before returning to its steady state.
She looked at Eva, her eyes filled with the clarity and tranquility of someone who had just undergone a transformation. "Thank you, Eva. If you hadn't stopped the Deep Sea Demon Whale King for me, I wouldn't have been able to complete the inheritance in such a short time."
Eva waved her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips: "No need to thank me. Since you're carrying on the Sea God's legacy in my territory, I naturally won't let outsiders disturb you."
