483: A serious goddess

Chapter 483: A Proper Goddess

Time passed by second by second.

Below, the A-San's summoning ritual was also underway, with the countdown steadily decreasing.

"This summoning ritual is different from yours. Is there a reason for that? Is it related to the deity's rank and strength?" Lu Ran asked in his mind.

Upon hearing this,

Thor, the God of Thunder, immediately replied, "No, the summoning ritual is just a medium and has nothing to do with the deity's strength. The difference lies in the various regions' deities; their possible descent locations also differ."

According to Thor, the God of Thunder's meaning,

Although these deities exploited loopholes and interfered with the data to enter the Datafication World,

They were not able to do so at will.

Instead, they followed specific methods, and the locations also had requirements.

For example, Thor, the God of Thunder,

He could descend not only in Eagleland but also in other factions, though he had to be within the Nordic region.

Lu Ran could roughly understand this.

It also seemed to be related to certain ancient legends within the rules.

And here in A-San, it was clearly their own legendary deities.

The difference was that these deities were uncontrollable.

Nor did they have any sense of belonging.

Their so-called sense of belonging was entirely self-imposed.

Therefore,

The ritual itself was irrelevant; it was just that the forms of summoning rituals in different regions varied.

It had nothing to do with the deity's strength, so there was no way of knowing what kind of deity would be summoned.

"I see," Lu Ran nodded.

At this moment,

The summoning ritual below was in full swing when suddenly, someone noticed something was amiss.

Some of them looked up at the sky, wanting to see how the deity would appear during the summoning, or rather, if there were any celestial phenomena before the deity's appearance.

But unfortunately, nothing could be seen yet.

However,

Although they didn't see any changes in celestial phenomena, they discovered something strange.

A person with Elf Wings, floating in the sky!

"What is that, A-San?"

"Is it a deity? But, something's not right."

"Isn't our summoning still ongoing?"

"Yeah, the countdown hasn't ended; a deity couldn't possibly appear!"

"Then what exactly is that? It looks somewhat familiar?"

"I remember now, those are Elf Wings, that's Lu Ran! It's Dragon Xia's Lu Ran!"

...

It seemed that

Lu Ran's performance during the previous faction war had attracted Global attention, and he was immediately recognized.

Lu Ran listened to the gibberish below, which he couldn't understand anyway, but he roughly knew they had noticed his presence.

Lu Ran didn't care and was too lazy to go down; he just waited patiently.

Once the summoning ritual began, it could not be interrupted.

He now had only one goal: to await the deity's descent.

As for what those A-Sans below were chattering about, Lu Ran was completely indifferent.

But while Lu Ran didn't care, those A-Sans cared a lot!

After all,

They were currently summoning a deity, such an important matter, a major event that would change their faction's status. Lu Ran appearing here was not a good sign!

"Damn it, as expected, they won't let us develop!"

"This is our chance to dominate the Datafication World, and we absolutely cannot let Lu Ran ruin it!"

"Hmph, Dragon Xia doesn't know that once the summoning ritual begins, it cannot be interrupted!"

"Since it's Lu Ran, then perfect, let him wait there to die!"

"Once the deity appears, the first one to be killed will be Lu Ran!"

...

They didn't have any deep-seated hatred for Lu Ran.

But if A-San wanted to rely on deities to dominate the Datafication World, Lu Ran was a stumbling block!

And the most obvious, biggest stumbling block.

But similarly,

Their thoughts were the same as those of the Eagleland people; in front of a true deity, Lu Ran was nothing!

Although Lu Ran was incredibly powerful, even terrifying, they still didn't believe Lu Ran would be a match for a deity.

Lu Ran could also understand this line of thinking.

For normal people, as long as they were still human, no matter how powerful they were, they could never reach the realm of deities.

They had a blind confidence in deities!

"Lu Ran hasn't made a move yet; he's just watching the show. He probably doesn't even know what we're doing, right?"

"Why doesn't he come down and say something? Let us hear what he'll say before he's killed by the deity?"

"Ridiculous Lu Ran, does he really think he can control the Global? Just appearing so casually on our A-San map!"

"Don't mind him, he's just a stumbling block."

...

They had been chattering for a long time.

Lu Ran was genuinely piqued with curiosity.

But he was still too lazy to go down.

There was nothing good to say to A-San.

Moreover,

The air in the A-San faction stank!

Even though it was datafied, they still retained many old habits, which Lu Ran couldn't stand.

This wasn't because Lu Ran was a clean freak; it was simply because this faction was too messy and disgusting.

Just like that,

Lu Ran floated in the sky, not descending, until the summoning ritual concluded.

Seeing the countdown at ten seconds,

Lu Ran took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said, "It's finally coming; I almost fell asleep."

He perked up, staring at the summoning ritual.

And in the next second,

The weather changed abruptly!

Countless golden energies continuously converged, and this feeling was somewhat similar to the Buddhist power of the Buddhist sect.

Lu Ran clicked his tongue in wonder.

He thought,

The deity A-San finally conjured, wouldn't it be a monk?

Just as he was thinking,

The golden energy began to converge continuously, gradually forming a body.

Although it hadn't fully appeared yet,

The general outline of this body was gradually becoming visible.

"Holy moly, such an amazing figure, is it a female?" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

A goddess!

A proper goddess!

However, Lu Ran didn't remember A-San having any goddesses, so he naturally couldn't guess her identity.

At the same time,

The surrounding A-Sans cheered continuously, each one overjoyed.

At the same time, many people's gazes were fixed on Lu Ran.

Their clear intention was to command the deity to kill Lu Ran the moment she appeared.

Subsequently,

Within ten-odd seconds, the goddess finally appeared completely before everyone.

"Minaga..." Thor, the God of Thunder's voice came from Lu Ran's mind.

Oh?

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow and asked, "You know her?"

Thor, the God of Thunder, said, "Not really know, just aware of her. We haven't had any dealings with each other. She is the daughter of A-San's creation god, Brahma, and her strength is not low."

Lu Ran didn't understand these intricacies.

He continued to ask, "Then, compared to you, who is stronger?"

Thor, the God of Thunder, pondered, "If it were a true one-on-one fight, she shouldn't be my opponent. Minaga is a healing-type deity herself and has no ability to kill me, but I can use lightning paralysis to weaken her healing ability. She can't win."

Lu Ran suddenly understood.

So she was a healing deity!
