128: Chapter 128 Authority Level, Destiny!
"Thunder Emperor?"
An aged voice came from the giant snake's mouth.
Its language was not Huaxia speech, but rather resembled an ancient tongue, yet people like Shen Xingchen were able to understand the meaning of the sound.
The Thunder Emperor in its mouth was the purple-haired woman's name, or more accurately, her title.
Even though such an overbearing name was placed on a woman, Shen Xingchen did not find it discordant.
It was truly because the purple-haired woman's heroic bearing and demeanor matched this majesty.
"Jormungandr, let them go." The purple-haired Valkyrie's voice was indifferent and unquestionable.
The giant snake Jormungandr's pupils lacked emotion, "The trajectory of destiny is already set; accept the ending, and naturally you can go out."
Hearing these words.
Shen Xingchen's heart shook violently.
Were the repeated loops just because of the obsession he couldn't let go of?
However, how could he possibly accept such an ending?
The Valkyrie said majestically, "You are merely a phantom and do not have the right to wield destiny."
The serpent of destiny, Jormungandr.
It was a mythical creature in Blue Star, existing in the illusory spirit realm, wielding the authority of destiny.
"You are also nothing more than the remnant of a past will," Jormungandr said coldly.
The Valkyrie did not refute.
She was indeed a wisp of will inadvertently awakened when that youth activated the thunder emperor armor.
As for her true body, it had completely perished thousands of years ago.
Returning to the mortal world in this form this time, she learned that Blue Star had been invaded by a race called demons.
She spoke again, "This youth is very important to both me and this world!"
"My will is unquestionable," said the giant snake Jormungandr.
"Beast!" shouted the Valkyrie.
The giant snake's tail swept outward.
It was the embodiment of a deity and the manifestation of the world's will, yet it was humiliated like this by a human.
Jormungandr was truly angered.
The spear in the Valkyrie's hand shot out a streak of purple lightning.
That streak of lightning was extremely slender, yet it extended to infinite distances, and wherever it passed, everything was neatly sliced open.
The Valkyrie's figure appeared extremely tiny in the sky, before the giant snake Jormungandr's silhouette.
But the sense of security she gave people was incomparably sufficient.
That slender purple beam of light was like a line of rules, crashing straight into the giant snake Jormungandr's tail.
Clank—
The giant snake Jormungandr's scales collided with the purple beam.
Sparks immediately flew in all directions.
As expected of a mythical creature, Jormungandr finally managed to block the purple light rays that seemed to cut through all things in the world.
Faintly, it even had the upper hand.
The giant snake exhaled, "You a thousand years later are nothing much either!"
It frantically coiled its body.
Condensing strands of golden spears, resembling the trajectory of destiny, they attacked and killed.
The Valkyrie danced the spear in her hand, thrusting consecutively to swat away the golden spears.
But the golden spears would always return to their proper track.
"Shen Xingchen, lend me your armor for a moment." Knocking down the golden spears once more, the Valkyrie said without any ripples of emotion.
Shen Xingchen quickly took out the thunder emperor armor from the gilded bracelet.
From the moment the thunder emperor armor appeared in the world.
It was as if it had received a summon, transforming into a streak of purple light heading toward the Valkyrie.
"This can be considered returning it to its rightful owner," Shen Xingchen muttered to himself.
When the light of the thunder emperor armor covered the Valkyrie's body.
The illusory armor suddenly solidified, and her originally somewhat transparent figure became even more real.
It was as if she had completed a... descent!
"Judgment!" The Valkyrie's aura became increasingly unfathomable, and the temperament displayed in every gesture crushed everything.
It was as if her words became law.
The clouds in the sky suddenly thinned out.
A blinding, huge beam of light descended, directly striking the head of the giant snake Jormungandr.
"Roar—"
Under this strike, the serpent of destiny's head swayed from the impact.
Golden blood flowed from its scales.
This blow tore open the giant snake Jormungandr's scales, causing a heavy injury.
"Your battle armor? How is this possible!?"
The giant snake Jormungandr's snake pupils seemed to leak emotions of shock.
A youth who looked pitifully weak actually had both the Thunder Emperor's remnant will and her armor on his body at the same time.
What kind of trick of fortune was this?
It had manipulated destiny for I don't know how many years, yet today it was actually fooled by destiny.
But how could the Valkyrie care about its shock.
Snap—
Another beam of purple light fell down.
The giant snake Jormungandr's head was already covered in blood, "I admit defeat, I'll let them go!"
The Valkyrie pointed her spear toward the sky, and heaven-supporting formation patterns condensed above the giant snake Jormungandr's head, "I've changed my mind."
The words fell.
The formation patterns began to lower several dragon-thick bolts of thunder.
That area was like a forbidden zone drawn by a deity, savagely releasing its fury.
"You know this is not my true body, why be so ruthless?" the giant snake Jormungandr roared.
Its body was covered by the thunder domain, and its head was struck lower and lower by lightning time and time again.
The Valkyrie said indifferently, "Even if it's a phantom, it still retains a bit of the authority-level power of destiny; I want it!"
"You, a deceased person, what do you want with the authority?" said the giant snake Jormungandr.
"You only need to quietly await death."
Jormungandr asked: "Could it be that you want to give it to that youth?"
"So what if I do?"
Jormungandr sarcastically said, "What qualifications does such a weak human have to accept authority-level power? Even if it's just an incomplete phantom, it's not something he can bear!"
The Valkyrie flipped her palm, and that formation pattern erupted with blinding light.
Countless bolts of lightning were compressed into thick rays of light, falling straight down.
Those purple rays of light touched Jormungandr's scales, yet they were as good as nothing, piercing straight through them.
"Destiny..."
Jormungandr's phantom let out its final voice.
Then it rapidly disintegrated.
Its remnant body unexpectedly condensed together bit by bit.
Forming a golden mark that projected into the sky.
That mark circulated with a rich golden light, which was not blinding, but its aura was majestic and sacred.
The patterns of the mark were identical to those on the ancient books that trapped Shen Xingchen and Jiang Qingyao.
Pupils and line segments intertwined, twisted, and could not be peeped upon.
This was the authority-level power mark—Destiny!
"Go!"
The Valkyrie pointed towards the Destiny Mark.
That golden pupil mark unexpectedly fell downward toward Shen Xingchen's direction.
Amidst Jiang Qingyao's astonished gaze.
The Destiny Mark halted in front of Shen Xingchen's forehead.
The mark circulated with sacred light, setting off Shen Xingchen as if he were a deity.
Shen Xingchen closed his eyes, feeling this power bit by bit.
The Destiny Mark flowed bit by bit to Shen Xingchen's glabella, and Shen Xingchen's aura became increasingly sacred.
After an unknown passage of time.
The sacred aura gradually converged bit by bit.
Shen Xingchen slowly fell from the air.
Jiang Qingyao hurried forward a few steps and caught Shen Xingchen's body.
The youth seemed yet to wake up.
Jiang Qingyao rested Shen Xingchen's head on her lap, gazing intently at his face.
Shen Xingchen's aura gradually stabilized.
A message popped up within the system space.
{Congratulations to the host for accommodating the authority-level power—Destiny (0.1%)}
