You are all my wings!

"You either use your remaining physical strength to reconsider your options with me, or you obediently tell me everything you know, lest I lose my temper later, which would be inappropriate."

Upon hearing "lost her temper," Astalia couldn't help but glance at Leon sideways. Could this kid also be interested in making a move on Mshiruna?

However, given his previous poor attitude towards her, it's unlikely to be that bad.

"I admit defeat today. However, if you don't use this method to affect the seal that Cheng Erheli has placed on me, my physical strength alone is enough to subdue you. Don't be so smug."

Mshiruna glanced at Astalia, but ultimately decided to give in for the time being.

After all, Astalia is now clearly in cahoots with Leon and there is a rift between them. All of her magic and divine energy are now completely sealed, leaving her with no chance to fight against these two.

"There's no need for such tough talk. Let's talk about what you know first. What exactly is the current situation of Cheng Erhe Li Shenming?"

Lyon began to speak.

At the same time, he reached out and grasped Astalia's hand, helping her slowly release the life seal left by Chengerheli.

Strengthening the seal is easy, but unlocking it requires resetting each life code one by one, and also having to withstand the resistance of the remaining life seal, making it much more difficult.

It will take at least one minute!

"If I'm not mistaken, she most likely wants to become the master of the [Material Singularity] and, taking advantage of the time when 'she's' gaze is elsewhere, steal the core authority hidden in the central forbidden zone of the New Auster Continent."

Mshiruna's eyes flickered slightly as she spoke.

Why did her gaze shift away?

Astalia frowned and asked.

"The logic is this: first, Cheng Erheli pretends to go crazy on the day of the prophecy, exposes her identity, and lures me, the so-called mole, out to the location she set up, which is this New Auster Continent."

Mshiluna said:

"After I was lured out, because I contained crucial information about the hiding places of the two Forbidden Zone Lords, I was sealed here, which inevitably attracted 'her' attention. However, because the New Auster Continent was conceived by the [Material Singularity] absorbing the Origin Qi, it is very special. Like the Sacred Tree, it possesses the power of constant spacetime. Therefore, when 'she' observes us from outside the realm, a time delay will occur, creating a time difference of more than ten seconds. During this time, I am being watched, and Cheng Erheli can gain more time to operate. And the spacetime essence that I just left in my body was stolen by her, which was most likely Cheng Erheli's intention to do, in order to widen the time difference."

Lyon seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Cheng Erheli's departures over the past few days were perhaps to secretly set up a magic circle that would enhance the time delay of the new Auster Continent.

Astalia, of course, understood and said knowingly:

"In other words, Cheng Erhe Li Jie intends to take advantage of the time delay brought about by the New Auster Continent, and within the time gap that 'she' cannot see, to fight to the death and try to steal the core authority of the [Material Singularity] located inside the New Auster Continent?"

"That's right, that's the key to my deduction."

Mshiluna said:

"At first I couldn't understand why she did this, but after I was sealed, a large amount of spacetime power disappeared from my body. I should understand now. Obviously, she saw the use of my spacetime power to increase her time difference, so she suddenly sealed me."

Astalia then asked, "So, by borrowing the spacetime essence within you, how much time difference can she increase?"

"It only took 5 minutes at most. All the time and space essence I've stored up for so long has been squandered by her!"

As she spoke, she punched the ground in frustration.

"And then, of all times, I ran into you two pleasure-seeking guys, who ruined my important business!"

Astalia felt slightly embarrassed by these words.

Although she didn't regret it, she did feel that she had been too engrossed in the moment and should have shortened the time.

"Don't be so narcissistic. In your current state, you can't even break the seal. Even if you guessed the situation, what good would it do? You'd just be stuck here feeling frustrated."

Lyon shrugged and said:

"Besides, you told two lies in just a few words. It seems you really enjoy lying."

"Two lies?"

Astalia frowned. She hadn't recovered much and couldn't use her [Unfettered Eye of Judgment] to see if M'shiruna was lying.

After all, Mshiruna is also a 12th-ranked being, so Astalia's strengths are unlikely to be effective against her.

“That’s right. I just used the [Deduction of False Truth] technique to observe what she was saying and I’ve already figured out which lies she told.”

Lyon said.

He hadn't yet used magic to deceive anyone; he was able to see through M'shiruna's lies thanks to his basic skills as a con artist.

Each time he advances in rank, he absorbs a large amount of related knowledge. Even without this magic, he is able to see through a large number of lies based on common sense and subtle details of expressions.

Mshiruna narrowed her eyes and said, "I am not lying."

"First, you said that those spacetime essences could only extend the time by 5 minutes, but actually it's more than that. You just wanted to increase our sense of urgency so that we could help the goddess Cheng Erheli as soon as possible, lest she really fail, right?"

Lyon said calmly:

"Secondly, you didn't only understand Cheng Erheli's purpose after being suppressed by her. Having mastered the knowledge of the previous era, you clearly understood what Cheng Erheli's arrival on the New Auster Continent meant, and that was also the goal of the two Forbidden Zone Lords. Therefore, when you appeared, your actions were very clear: you pretended to be seen through by me, revealing information about the two Forbidden Zone Lords, using my rebuttal to confirm the authenticity of your information, thereby drawing Cheng Erheli to your side and preventing her from failing. Unfortunately, you failed instead. You thought she would be wary of the Origin Qi, but she suppressed you instantly without any regard for the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Astalia said thoughtfully, "You mean to say that the information that the core authority of the two forbidden zones, the Disaster Domain and the Spirit Abyss, is hidden in the [Bearing] Origin Law was fabricated by M'shiluna?"

A hint of surprise flashed in M'shiruna's eyes as she raised an eyebrow at Leon: "How did you figure that out?"

"Didn't I just explain? It's naturally thanks to my self-created magic, the [False Truth Deduction Technique]."

Lyon smiled slightly; judging from her reaction, his guess was clearly correct.

In fact, he wasn't entirely sure, but after examining the anomalies he had previously discovered and eliminating all the impossibilities, it was clear that only this explanation could provide a satisfactory conclusion.

"Original magic? That's absurd! You couldn't possibly have created so much magic at such a young age!"

M'shiruna clearly didn't believe it.

She always believed that the "Time-Space Miracle Divination Technique" that Leon possessed was something he claimed to have created under the guise of an ancient tradition. After all, Leon looked too young and probably hadn't accumulated enough magical knowledge.

"It seems you haven't figured out yet. The difference between you and me, a peerless genius, is truly like heaven and earth."

These were words M'shiruna had said about Leon before. Upon hearing them, she wanted to sneer, saying that Leon was just parroting others and couldn't come up with anything good.

But then she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Because all she saw was Astalia, whose hand Leon had been holding, suddenly unleashing an astonishing aura.

She could tell that Lyon had obviously lifted the life seal on Astalia, because the mental fluctuations he had just used to control his own life seal were similar to those he had just applied to Astalia.

It was precisely because she could see it that she was so shocked.

To be able to break the seal left by a twelfth-tier peak god while being a mortal doesn't necessarily mean being incredibly strong, but it certainly means having a deeper understanding of magic than most gods, and possessing an exceptionally brilliant mind.

Since Leon managed to lift the life seal on Astalia using his own methods, it's entirely possible that he created so much magic, no matter how incredible that might seem.

Moreover, with the astonishing transformation of Astalia's aura, something even more shocking happened to M'siluna.

Dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled across the sky above the New Auster Continent.

A streak of lightning ripped through the sky, seemingly tearing the heavens and earth apart.

Immediately following was a deafening crackling sound, completely drowning out the noise Chengerheli was making in the distance!

Mshiruna looked up and saw that the dark clouds had gathered in an instant into a massive area comparable to the Holy Land, covering an almost boundless area. For a moment, the sky lost its color and all things fell silent.

The oppressive force of the world pressed down, causing Mshiruna's already sealed body to tremble even more.

Such a change in the world truly resembles the end of the world.

"This is the tribulation of a true god? Astalia, you're actually going to become a true god? How did you do that?"

Her shocked gaze fell on Astalia beside Leon. Could it be that Astalia's ability to trigger the opportunity to advance to the thirteenth rank was also related to Leon?

Chapter 494 Astalia: I'll listen to you

Meeting Mshiruna's shocked gaze, Astalia was also somewhat surprised and said, "It's most likely that Lyon unlocked my potential, allowing my divinity to finally complete its final transformation, which in turn brought about this opportunity for the transformation into a true god."

M'shiruna was shocked; her guess was actually true.

So what they were doing just now, seemingly doing xx, was actually developing their potential?

No wonder he has no time to take care of himself.

"So, those spells really were created by you?"

Mshiruna turned her gaze to Lyon.

Astalia spoke up for Leon, saying, "Of course, Leon's talent is beyond question."

"But even if one can unlock potential, how can the opportunity to become a true god be triggered so easily?"

Although M'shiruna rationally accepted the facts, she still found it hard to believe when she felt the pressure of the True God's Calamity.

However, when she realized that she had indeed underestimated Leon, a complex mix of feelings—shame, embarrassment, and surprise—rose in her heart.

[Goddess M'shiruna's affection level +4%, current affection level 18%]

Astalia then said, "Besides that, it's mostly related to spiritual deficiencies as well."

She realized then that her deep conversations with Lyon had completely filled the void in her heart.

At the same time, the special state that was activated greatly enhanced the divine essence that had been blocked, allowing it to be sublimated.

Normally, one must gather new authority to advance, but her divine status has been sublimated to the limit, exceeding the conventional limitations, which is no longer a normal situation.

Previously suppressed by the life seal, it could not be triggered, so now that it has been triggered, this opportunity for transformation is naturally unstoppable.

"Wait a minute, your divine body is currently at the eleventh level, but your divine spark is at the twelfth level! Such a mismatch means you might not be able to pass this test!"

Mshiruna, of course, had also learned from her previous eavesdropping that the goddess Astalia before her came from the future.

"The Tribulation of True Gods is one that no intelligent species has ever been able to overcome since the beginning of this era! It has stopped countless powerful intelligent species since the beginning of this era. If you fail, at best your godhood will be damaged, and at worst you will have to perish once, which is equivalent to wasting a chance to revive! I advise you to suppress this opportunity for the time being!"

She shouted.

Admittedly, her statement made perfect sense, but she also had another thought: that Cheng Erheli's matter was more important.

If Astalia chooses to undergo the tribulation of the true god, failure is highly probable, and secondly, it will waste a lot of time.

Even if she were to miraculously survive the calamity and become a true god by some extremely low probability, a considerable amount of time would have passed. Thus, it would be a foregone conclusion that Cheng Erheli would fail in stealing the core authority of the [Material Singularity].

Astalia frowned upon hearing this.

Although triggering an opportunity for advancement is a good thing, my current divine body is too weak, so the probability of failure is indeed high.

Of course, as a future powerhouse capable of sweeping through the twelfth tier, she naturally has her trump cards, but whether to take a gamble now is indeed hard to say.

Moreover, even she wasn't confident that she could trigger the opportunity for advancement to the thirteenth rank again.

As for Cheng Erhe and Sister Li, they are indeed at a critical moment and must be guarded against.

How to decide is truly a matter of great importance.

"Leon, help me make a decision."

But after only a moment's thought, she spoke.

Mshiruna was taken aback. How could her silly sister have become so indecisive after falling in love?

Even if Lyon's talent is exceptional, far exceeding his own understanding, and he is indeed a super genius.

But how could we possibly entrust him with the decision on such an important occasion as advancing to the thirteenth rank?

Lyon asked in surprise, "Astalia, are you serious?"

"Of course, don't you have the [Miracle Spell]? Please cast one for me. The more you believe in me, the better my chances of success will be. Of course, I will only choose to advance if you think I can't miss this opportunity. If you think it's not worth the gamble, then I will suppress it for now and try again later."

Astalia laughed:

"Moreover, you are not only the only husband I acknowledge, but also a miracle astrologer. You should be able to foresee whether my choice will bring about a miracle. In that case, you just need to make the decision for me before the True God's Tribulation is completed. I will then decide whether to charge forward or suppress your decision."

My god is so adorable.

Lyon thought to himself that since she believed in him so wholeheartedly, he should give her the best answer.

He immediately began to perform divination.

After a moment, he opened his eyes:

"Astalia, advance to the next rank."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Astalia nodded, without asking why, closed her eyes, and channeled all her power to accelerate her transformation into a god.

Therefore, she stopped suppressing it and completely unleashed the power to trigger the Tribulation of the True God.

boom!!!!!

The gathering of dark clouds accelerated once more, now covering the area of ​​several holy lands, and continued to gather, seemingly without end.
