When the Bloody Lich was a little bit stunned, Marianna sniffed faster and faster. Then, she inhaled deeply and sneezed.

The Bloody Lich noticed that Marianna was about to sneeze too, but he didn’t consider the little kid that he could easily kill a big deal. No matter how powerful the Curse of Misfortune was, he couldn’t possibly be killed by her.

When he looked back, however, he saw something entirely different. A stream of green power that could barely be detected spurted out of Marianna’s nose, and hit the Bloody Lich immediately.

The moment he detected the power, one simple word popped up in the Bloody Lich’s head.

Gods…

And after that… Well, there was nothing after that…

The Bloody Lich, hit by the power of chaos right in the face, was minced immediately. Even his power of death was annihilated. Everything that was in the way of Marianna’s sneeze was obliterated…

The Bloody Lich could’ve never thought that Marianna was a reborn god, and retained some of gods’ power.

Most gods only had a soul of gods after rebirth. Their physical strength should be exactly the same as that of the other members of the species they were born among. If they were reborn as a human being, then they would be regular infants. They had to find strength in order to grow stronger. It was quite easy for reborn gods: they could simply recollect their strength from the past.

No gods boasted the power of gods they had in the past after their rebirth. It had never happened before.

Marianna was the only exception. Part of the 73rd God’s soul was meant to revive in the underground world. To resurrect herself, she certainly boasted the power of gods. Even though she would be weaker than in her prime years after the resurrection, all she needed to do was recuperate.

Having been forced to be reborn, Marianna retained some power of gods in her body. She was the strongest when she was just born, but as time went by, the power of gods that she stored would be exhausted. It would be gone when it was used up.

Still, Marianna was given an ability that other reborn gods didn’t have. Despite the rebirth, her body and soul still matched the power of gods. The other gods would be annihilated when they touched the power of gods after their rebirth.

Therefore, even though the reborn gods were as strong as gods, they never really acquired the power of gods again.

Marianna, however, had the potential of regaining control of the power of gods.

All in all, it was just the Bloody Lich’s own mistake. He thought that Marianna was the weakest, and hoped to take her hostage, only to be killed by her sneeze in the end.

The others finally realized the Curse of Misfortune’s power. Lin Yun was the first to run off exactly because he knew the Curse of Misfortune’s power.

There was no telling whether he would be affected because of the Curse of Misfortune when Marianna spurted out power of gods…

That possibility was quite high. It could be major trouble if he touched any of the power. He might even get killed because of the Curse of Misfortune.

The poor Bloody Lich died just like that. He had been completely obliterated by the power of gods. It was even more powerful than the burning of magic.

After the Bloody Lich died, Lin Yun instantly felt that his soul became transparent. Even the world became clear in front of his eyes.

He had many feelings that he could not describe. He knew that the Curse of Misfortune was gone. His speculation was right: the Curse of Misfortune would be gone if the Bloody Lich’s body was destroyed, and nothing could destroy the body more completely than the power of gods…

After the Bloody Lich was taken down, the remaining three level-47 skeleton warriors emerged from the mist of ice too. Now that the Bloody Lich was gone, they charged at others, trying to become the only survivors in the battlefield.

As a matter of fact, the skeleton battlefield was already over. It would be completely gone the moment someone closed it.

It had never happened that the master of the skeleton battlefield was killed first after it was opened.

Normally speaking, a skeleton battlefield was opened by someone who hoped to swallow powerful soul fires. They slaughtered undead creatures that came into the battlefield because they couldn’t resist the temptation of an advanced soul fire.

Alternatively, it was opened when two powerful undead creatures needed to duel for the position of lordship or other reasons. In the end, the one who killed their opponent and swallowed the soul fire would emerge stronger.

But that rarely happened anymore. Undead creatures had a strict hierarchy. The gap between every two levels was astonishing huge, especially for those above level 40.

At this moment, without the Curse of Misfortune, the three level-47 skeleton warriors were just mobs that could be killed any minute.

Alonzo was the first to take action. Before the three skeleton warriors reached him, a creepy gigantic hand had appeared out of nowhere, and grabbed all of them. Then, it squeezed, and the noise of cracking bones spread out. When the hand opened again, the skeleton warriors had been reduced to bones and ashes, leaving only their soul fires intact.

Throwing the soul fires to Lin Yun casually, Alonzo finally landed and approached Lin Yun with an awful smile. He stared at Marianna with appalling light in his eyes.

“Merlin, where did you find this kid?”

Marianna, who was bold enough to argue with Lin Yun, and never regretted even when she was beat up, seemed quite terrified. She moved to Lin Yun’s back with a pale face.

Lin Yun’s heart palpitated too. Remembering Alonzo’s identity and personality, he felt that his heart was racing.

This old man has a weird temper. He likes me right now, but for him, I and Marianna are completely different.

Damn it, it’s impossible that he hasn’t realized that Marianna is a reborn god who carries a bit of power of gods. His eyes are suggesting that he wants to dissect Marianna, right?

All the thoughts popped up in Lin Yun’s head, which scared himself. Alonzo, if born in the future, would surely become good friends with those crazy mages. He was a crazy scientist among mages.

Thinking about that, Lin Yun didn’t dare to let Alonzo finish at all…

“Junior Uncle, she’s my goddaughter and Xiuban’s blood daughter. She’s also a reborn god. She’s shy in front of strangers…”

Hearing that, Alonzo immediately looked at Marianna regretfully, and didn’t propose what he had in mind. Despite his weird temper, he certainly couldn’t ask Lin Yun to give away his goddaughter for experiments. Besides, Marianna was obviously terrified, which made Alonzo slightly awkward.

Watching Agalon walking close with a smile of disdain, Alonzo didn’t know what to say.

Alonzo would rather never ignite the God Fire than lose face in front of Agalon, which was the more serious issue for him.

Alonzo snorted at Agalon, and casually took out three magic tools. He played with them for a moment, and then threw them to Marianna.

All the three True Spirit Magic Tools seemed to be conscious. One of them was a necklace that hung from Marianna’s neck. The other two were bracelets. All of them were silver, with natural glamorous patterns on the surface. They looked quite pretty.

Marianna received three True Spirit Magic Tools, which would surely be much more powerful when they were used together. Still, she was extremely pale, and thought that Alonzo would take her away…

Alonzo had given away a set of True Spirit Magic Tools just like that. Lin Yun’s eyes glittered when he saw them, and then he dropped a hint at Marianna.

“Marianna, thank Grandpa Alonzo right now. This is a set of True Spirit Magic Tools. The necklace is a source of mana, and the two bracelets can protect you. Until the necklace’s mana is drained, even a god won’t be able to break your protection. It’s almost as impressive as an Extraordinary Magic Tool’s protection. Thank him now…”

Marianna was quite smart. Not caring whether or not the magic tools were as powerful as described, she stepped up from behind Lin Yun’s back, and thanked Alonzo respectfully.

Alonzo glanced at Agalon proudly and delightedly.

“Old fart, why were you looking at me like that? I only stared at the girl because I liked her, and I was considering what gifts I should give her. What did you think I was going to do? You’re truly narrow-minded…”

Alonzo mocked Agalon for a long time, and was in a great mood. More importantly, Lin Yun was quite knowledgeable. He explained the usage and features of the magic tools precisely.

Lin Yun did remember those magic tools well. They were made in similar ways as most protective magic tools, but they were actually arcane magic tools.

The defense that most shields could provide depended on two factors: the total power of the attack and the intensity of the outburst.

If the mages’ Fusion Shields were the same—for example, if a shield could endure 10,000 points of power in an attack—then, normally speaking, the shield wouldn’t fall apart until it exceeded the limit.
