The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful Chapter 833: Absolutely Forbidden!

Chapter 833: Absolutely Forbidden!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“That human, believing he had fended off the attack of five deities, thought he was unbeatable in the primary world. But could he grasp the power of the G.o.ds?

Within just two weeks, dark deities would descend upon this realm, guiding us to crush the opposing divine army completely, eliminating all those orderly deities who are merely symbols, decayed, and unable to steer this world forward, marking the dawn of a new era!”

At this point, the commander of the dark divine army seemed to recall something, a smirk playing across his face. “However, what that human should be worried about now is how the orderly deities of the Oceanic Divine Lineage will treat him. After all, he has s.n.a.t.c.hed away many of their followers.”

Greed Lord’s expression brightened considerably at this reminder; he had almost forgotten about it. Deities draw much of their power from the faith provided by their followers, thus they value their followers greatly.

For that human to ascend to the position of deity, he would undoubtedly need to absorb many followers. This would inevitably lead to conflicts with the deities of other Oceanic Divine Lineages.

Long ago, if there had been a supreme deity akin to the Elven Divine lineage, it would have been the Elven Mother G.o.ddess who, through suppression and coordination, divided the faith territories among the various Elven deities, ensuring peace and tranquility.

However, ever since countless years ago, the Oceanic Divine lineage suffered the loss of its only two supreme deities, the Lord of the Oceans and the Ocean G.o.ddess, for some unknown reason. This loss deprived the Oceanic Divine lineage of its leading deities, resulting in internal factionalism and chaos, making it difficult to coalesce into a unified force.

This also led to constant conflicts between different factions over the distribution of religious territories and the number of followers. No one knew what kind of reaction Ji Chen, who was still not a deity but had already mastered three authorities, would elicit when faced with a one-on-one confrontation and had not yet become a deity.

Maybe they’d resort to divine wrath and commit ma.s.sacres to reclaim their followers and faith or settle personal scores.

Maybe they wouldn’t even have to step in, since the orderly deities might begin killing each other.

Greed Lord felt a surge of joy. It would be best to let the orderly deities fight amongst themselves and kill that human off. This way, they could easily eliminate a major threat without much effort.

Who knows what kind of divine rank an individual who had not yet become a deity but already controls three authorities would be promoted to after ascending?

The boundaries between divine ranks were not very clear; in history, it was not uncommon for some outstanding individuals to transform into intermediate G.o.ds directly from mortals, skipping the demiG.o.d and lesser G.o.d ranks.

Now, the better the foundation, the higher the future achievements.

As soon as a piece of news spread across the chat channels and forums, the entire player community exploded with excitement.

—A player has successfully obtained the authority left by the fallen deity!

According to the player’s confession, upon learning that authorities were emerging one after another from a post, he found a long-discovered cave in a dormant volcano, where, at the bottom of the magma lake, he found the gradually awakening authority of ‘Lava.’

The ‘Lava’ authority, which used to emit terrifying energy at all times, now seemed to embrace him. Not only did it not harm him, but it also actively sent out friendly signals, as if it really had life.

The end result was that this player, whose personal strength was already quite good, successfully mastered the minor authority of ‘Lava’ after exhausting all his cards, and his strength increased by more than a hundredfold.

According to his description, he can now not only withstand extremely high temperatures but also swim in the magma lake as easily as in a pond. He can also unleash powerful lava forces, manipulate magma, and engulf enemies with endless lava.

For ordinary armies, there was no match. One person was equivalent to an army. His strength had expanded to about legendary tier, slightly inferior to epic tier. After his control over authorities improves further, he would approach, if not reach, the epic tier.

For players who were mostly suppressed by indigenous strongmen, usually equivalent to excellent or rare-tier heroes, this degree of power expansion was indeed impressive.

Coincidentally, it didn’t take long for several players to announce that they too had acquired minor divine powers: [Gale] authority, [Shadow] authority, [Surge] authority… obtained and controlled by players from the Northern Continent and the Eastern Continent respectively, each with their own specialties, experiencing a sudden surge in strength overnight.

As more and more players mastered these minor divine powers, the group that had long been looked down upon by the indigenous population, only recently gaining some respect due to the recent war in the Southern Continent, was finally taken seriously.

Strength was the best credential.

Completing ten thousand tasks by running around to collect commissions was not as effective as using divine power once.

These players who controlled minor divine powers instantly became hot commodities, surrounded by numerous followers overnight, including other players and some indigenous inhabitants.

What truly ignited the situation was an event shocking enough to rock the world.

A player with the forum username [I Play Mud in the Northeast] accidentally discovered and mastered the minor divine power [Flame], successfully killing half a squad of the Dark Empire’s army.

Although they were not yet proficient in controlling their power and only managed to kill half of the squad, while the other half escaped, it was enough to astonish everyone.

Because never before had mortals defeated an army of the Dark Empire. The only ones capable of doing so were another army of the Dark Empire or the divine beings themselves.

Alternatively, the impression the Dark Empire’s army had always given to sentient beings was that they were the envoys of the G.o.ds, possessing the blessings of the G.o.ds and powerful strength, thus no mortal dared to confront them..
