Originally, Moloch intended to continue attacking.
The three high-ranking War Gods from the Beautiful Country chose to make a move despite the significant disparity in strength. Such quality is worthy of a battle.
But looking at the timid appearance of the War Gods of Parallel Blue Star, Moloch felt that taking this seriously would be an insult to himself.
With this thought, Moloch retracted his moves and floated towards the location of Lin Yi and Xiyue.
The chaotic demeanor of the dozens of War Gods on Parallel Blue Star formed a stark contrast with the composure of Lin Yi and Xiyue. They felt ashamed, yet relieved that the pressure wasnât on them.
"Do you want to fight me?"
Moloch, as a god, had his pride.
He was wary of Lin Yi, but he wasnât intimidated.
So he chose to confront Lin Yi directly.
His gaze towards Moloch remained calm, so calm it was devoid of any ripples, making it impossible for Moloch to discern Lin Yiâs thoughts.
"Fight with you? How boring."
Though this was quite insulting, Moloch wasnât bothered at all.
He knew that gaining an advantage in words was meaningless.
Lin Yi could say whatever he liked; it wasnât important.
"Then what do you want from me?"
"If possible, Iâll give you what you want, and you wonât bother me. Howâs this deal?"
Judging from Xiyueâs attitude towards He Shuai, Moloch concluded that Xiyue and the professionals of Parallel Blue Star werenât on the same side. Itâs possible to use conditions to restrain Lin Yi and Xiyue.
After all, he needed to destroy Parallel Blue Star to obtain the star core brimming with boundless energy to gather enough energy to revive.
"Oh? Havenât I made it quite obvious? There is divine power in your residual soul. By eliminating you and absorbing your divine power, wouldnât Xiyue also gain divine power? Besides, as the Fire God, youâve shown quite an impressive mastery in fire control skills. Xiyue will undoubtedly learn a lot from battling you."
Moloch was momentarily stunned.
He didnât expect Lin Yi to be able to sense the divine power on him.
And Lin Yi was serious about having Xiyue absorb his divine power.
"Heh, if I werenât just a residual soul, would I be conniving with you? Letâs each take a step back, shall we? If you want my fire control skill, I can teach it to this woman without reservation."
"As for divine power, letâs pretend youâre joking, alright?"
Lin Yi didnât intend to make this decision.
He looked towards where Xiyue was, inquiring about her thoughts with his eyes.
"Hehe."
Xiyue smiled slightly.
She quite enjoyed Lin Yiâs favoritism.
"We went through so much trouble to come here, isnât it to take everything we planned into our own hands?"
At her core, Xiyue was a proud woman. Once she set her sights on something, she wouldnât easily give up.
"Divine power is virtually impossible to attain through self-cultivation alone. The only way is to seize it. When we went to Xiang Wuxing, I didnât help much. To help you, I believe itâs necessary to obtain divine power, so I want to try."
"As for the fire control skills, I think the experience gained in actual combat is more substantial than through practice. I want to try."
Listening to Xiyue, Moloch felt as though countless alpacas were running wild in his heart:
Just by looking at Lin Yi and Xiyueâs intimate relationship, who couldnât tell you two are a couple?
Fighting with Xiyue is one thing, sure, a fight is a fight, and if Iâm overpowered and killed, then I have nothing to say.
But with you, Lin Yi, watching like a hawk, not allowing me to use all my strength, constantly replenishing Xiyueâs state to let her go all out on me, is this right, is this fight interesting?
Yes, it is interesting to Xiyue, but is it fair to Moloch? Iâm just a residual soul, not even a tenth of my former strength, and many techniques canât be used without a physical body, how am I supposed to fight like this?
This is such blatant bullying.
Moloch originally planned to temporarily compromise, regaining his strength before seeking revenge. Now it seemed thereâs no compromising; Xiyue was determined to take him down.
"Human, I acknowledge your strength and know that in my current state, Iâm no match for you, but do you not fear me tearing this face off with you for treating me this way? Do you not know a cornered rabbit will even bite back?"
Lin Yiâs response was straightforward and affirmative:
No fear!
This reply left Molochâs brain in a state of shock:
This kid doesnât seem foolish, why is his emotional quotient so low? The way out was so obvious, but he didnât take it?
Watching Lin Yi and Xiyue negotiating with that terrifying monster left He Shuai deeply shocked.
Why did it seem like the monster was more wary of the person next to Xiyue than Xiyue herself? Whatâs going on? He didnât sense any source power fluctuations from the person beside Xiyue.
"Alright, since thatâs the case, Iâll go all out with you."
The once calm flames on Molochâs body flared up instantly.
A huge bull-headed phantom appeared behind him.
The deafening roar resounded as soon as the phantom appeared.
The divine power stored within him was unleashed without reservation.
"Humans, you forced me! Today, even if I have to sacrifice everything, Iâll make you pay!"
The bull-headed phantom stopped roaring, lowered its head, and charged at Lin Yi and Xiyue with terrifying speed.
If they failed to promptly use the Power of the Primordial for protection, Lin Yi and Xiyue would surely be crushed into powder by the divine power.
Of course, the Power of the Primordial could barely fend it off, not capable of countering it.
This time, He Shuai didnât have to worry about whether to assist Xiyue.
Because his speed couldnât even react to Molochâs attack.
"Sigh, having lived for so many years, why are you still in such a hurry to act?"
Lin Yi extended his hand, effortlessly halting the bull-headed phantomâs charge.
The enormous phantom, enough to break mountains and seas, was miraculously stopped.
In the evenly proportioned arm muscles of someone under two meters tall, was there such exaggerated power?
When the War Gods of Parallel Blue Star looked closely, they saw a faint energy fluctuation on his hand.
Divine power!
And it was the divine power of an Upper-Rank God!
The War Gods of Parallel Blue Star couldnât tell what it was exactly.
But Moloch, who possessed divine power, was different.
He was extremely sensitive to divine power, and this situation completely caught him off guard. Who could have thought that such a mighty being was hidden on a lower-dimensional planet?
"Now, can we talk? Even if itâs a humiliating treaty, perhaps it can be negotiated?"
Lin Yi faced Molochâs terrifying eyes, smiled slightly, and said.
Indeed, thereâs no choice but to negotiate, or else itâs a dead end.
Fighting with Xiyue was aggravating but survivable.
Fighting Lin Yi, certain death awaits!
