Chapter 141: Empress Veronica! The Medusa Who Lost Control!
“It’s not really ridicule.”
Lin Yi said with a smile, “I’ve observed carefully. Your Medusa Clan’s petrification ability is not a secret technique, nor is it a law. It seems to imply some kind of power of rules.”
“You are a Demigod now.”
“You haven’t fully grasped its secrets.”
“When you step into the God Realm and its power erupts completely, it will definitely be able to petrify even Gods!”
Hearing this.
A delighted smile appeared on Medusa Daphne’s face.
If someone else had praised her clan’s secret technique, she wouldn’t even bother to respond.
But Lin Yi was different.
Lin Yi was the current Sun Elf King, and he could easily suppress her. She was naturally happy to be praised by Lin Yi, and for some reason, she felt a sense of honor.
When she first saw Lin Yi, Daphne couldn’t believe it.
It wasn’t until Lin Yi used the power of Divine and Light Law to break and purify her petrification that she had to accept reality. She never thought that what she thought was the most impossible thing would actually be the truth.
It had only been a few days.
Lin Yi had already been promoted to Demigod.
And he had mastered the profound meaning of three laws overnight.
Moreover, two of them were the Divine and Light Laws, which she believed only professionals of the Light Faction could master.
This series of discoveries almost shattered her worldview and perception.
It could only be said that the talent of the Sun Elves was truly terrifying!
No wonder His Majesty the Sun Elf King of that year was able to command all races in the world to fight against the Demon Army, and even Her Majesty the Queen of their Medusa Clan followed behind that Sun Elf King.
Daphne sighed and said, “How difficult it is to become a God!”
“As far as I know, in the past thousands of years, the number of creatures in the Dark Continent who have become Gods does not exceed three. Even if we count those hidden in the darkness, there must be no more than five.”
“I have cultivated for over a thousand years, but I am only an Intermediate Demigod.”
“Three thousand years will pass in a blink of an eye.”
“I’m afraid that I won’t be able to touch the door of immortality even at the end of my life.”
The Medusa Clan could not escape the rules of the World’s Origin either.
Demigods had a maximum lifespan of three thousand years. Once three thousand years passed, if they did not break through and become immortal Gods, they would definitely die.
Daphne said, “Back then, our Medusa Empire ruled the far seas, with hundreds of millions of Sea Races under our command, but only Her Majesty Empress Veronica became a God.”
“I know my talent.”
“I’m afraid I will never reach the height of Empress Veronica.”
Mermaid Sabrina called her Your Majesty, but she was only a self-proclaimed Queen.
Compared to the famous Empress Veronica, she knew she was far behind.
Lin Yi said with a smile, “In this world, everything is possible. As long as you choose the right path and put in your own efforts, becoming a God is not a fantasy.”
Hearing this, Daphne didn’t hesitate.
She transformed the thick golden snake tail of her lower body into two human legs.
Then she knelt down towards Lin Yi with utmost respect.
After being beaten up by Lin Yi with absolute power, she willingly lowered her head to Lin Yi, without any complaints or grudges, and even less a sense of being coerced.
It was only because His Majesty the Elf King’s growth rate was too astonishing.
There was a high probability that he would become a God in the future.
Being able to follow a God, and a Sun Elf King at that, what was there for her to be dissatisfied with?
Back when the Medusa Empire was at its peak, only Veronica, as the Empress of the Empire, was qualified to be by the side of that Sun Elf King.
Compared to this…
Wasn’t she the same as Empress Veronica?
Daphne said with a solemn expression, “Respected Elf King, Daphne sincerely requests your favor. Please allow me to lead the Mermaid Clan to join your territory and serve you!”
“I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life.”
“Loyalty is my honor!”
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face.
A Demigod’s allegiance, and a Medusa who had now become a ‘rare race’, he was naturally happy to accept.
However, he waited for a while, but did not receive any notification from the system.
Daphne wasn’t fooling him.
Because the Citizen Mark had already appeared on her body.
So, this only indicated one problem.
Lin Yi said, “Get up, I agree to you joining my territory. From now on, you are a citizen under my command. As for the Mermaid Clan, I’m afraid you can’t represent them!”
Daphne said confidently, “Rest assured, Your Majesty. We Medusas are the royal family of the Sea Race, and the Mermaid Clan must also obey my orders. If I order them to join your territory, they definitely wouldn’t dare to resist.”
“Times have changed, and people’s hearts are also changing.”
Lin Yi said, “In this kind of environment, anything is possible.”
Daphne was stunned.
She didn’t understand why Lin Yi thought the Mermaid Clan would resist her will.
After all, she was the Queen.
Of course, Daphne didn’t know that this was because Lin Yi didn’t receive a system notification.
Previously, on Unicorn Island, after Chieftain Hersis and the Unicorn elders swore their oaths, all the Unicorns became his citizens.
This showed that Chieftain Hersis and the Unicorn elders could represent the entire Unicorn Clan.
On the other hand, Daphne…
After she swore her oath, only she received the system’s recognition.
The Mermaid Clan did not react at all.
This also directly indicated that the Mermaid Clan was not under her rule, and she was most likely just a Queen in name.
She could decide on small matters, but the Mermaid Clan would not listen to her on big matters.
Lin Yi looked into the distance.
There happened to be a team of Elf Swordsmen fighting Swamp Monsters there.
He said, “Do you sense anything from those Elf Swordsmen?”
Daphne looked over and carefully sensed for a moment before saying, “There seems to be a kind of companion aura… a very magical feeling, it didn’t appear before!”
Lin Yi said, “That’s the Citizen Mark. Everyone with this mark is one of us.”
“If you had control over the Mermaid Clan, then after you swore your oath, those Mermaids on the island, and even the Fishmen Clan loyal to the Mermaids, would have this mark on their bodies.”
“Your Majesty, I understand!”
Daphne nodded.
It was that simple.
When she returned to the Mermaid Archipelago.
She would know if they were ‘one of us’ by checking if those Mermaids were loyal to her, the Medusa Queen.
If they weren’t, she would have to do some bloody things.
Although the Sea Race was far less powerful than it was thousands of years ago, what was the use of having ‘clansmen’ who didn’t obey? If they offended His Majesty the Elf King, they would all be gone.
Lin Yi said, “In that case, I’ll leave the Mermaid Clan to you.”
“Also, you’ve been observing my Elf Army for so long, you must have noticed that the Elves’ growth rate is not slow.”
Daphne nodded again.
It wasn’t just not slow, it was ridiculously fast.
Some Elves had leveled up two or three times in a day, leaving her deeply shocked.
◈◈◈
Lin Yi said with a smile, “You can also be like them now. By killing enemies, you can quickly increase your own strength and level. The door to becoming a God is open to you.”
“You are an Intermediate Demigod now.”
“As long as you work hard, you have a high probability of becoming the first God under my command!”
Hearing this.
Daphne froze.
It was a long time before she came back to her senses and said excitedly, “Your Majesty, is… is this the divine grace bestowed by the Elf Goddess?”
Lin Yi glanced at her and said, “The citizens under my command do not believe in Gods, neither the Elf Goddess nor the Ocean Goddess. Everything you see now has nothing to do with them!”
Daphne’s expression stiffened.
The God of Faith for their Sea Race was the Ocean Goddess.
Obviously.
Lin Yi was deliberately reminding her.
Daphne quickly recovered and said respectfully, “If I have a God of Faith in the future, it will definitely be you, Your Majesty! Just like thousands of years ago, countless Elves believed in Sun Elf King Alsace.”
Just like Lin Yi said…
Times had changed, and people’s hearts were also changing.
The current Sea Race no longer had the same firm faith in the Ocean Goddess as the Sea Race of the past.
This included Daphne.
When her father, her clansmen… were killed by Demons, they didn’t know how many times they had prayed devoutly, but they never saw any miracles descend upon them.
If it were to be classified by Believer Level.
Daphne was just an Ordinary Believer, or even a False Believer.
The Ocean Goddess or whatever, she could discard her.
It was precisely because of this that Daphne’s attitude changed so naturally. She almost unhesitatingly abandoned the Ocean Goddess and took refuge under Lin Yi’s wings.
“Very good!”
Lin Yi said with a smile, “If I decide to become a God of Faith someday, I will make you my believer.”
In fact, Lin Yi didn’t care about becoming a God of Faith.
Because Gods of Faith had too many restrictions.
Their divine power was closely related to their believers.
The more believers, the stronger the divine power.
On the contrary, the fewer believers, the weaker the divine power.
Becoming a God through Laws had no such restrictions, and the upper limit was higher.
Lin Yi now mastered eighteen powers, or rather, eighteen laws.
When he became a God in the future, his divine power would definitely be terrifyingly powerful. Not to mention crushing Gods of the same Divine Rank, it was not impossible to challenge Gods of higher Divine Ranks.
How could he give up the watermelon for sesame seeds?
Even if he really walked the path of a God of Faith someday, he would only use Faith Divine Power to assist Law Divine Power. He still knew which was more important.
Lin Yi said, “The Chieftain of the Mermaid Clan seems to be in seclusion. There’s a high probability that she will become a Demigod.”
Daphne’s expression turned serious and she said, “Your Majesty, I will return to the Mermaid Archipelago now. When I return this time, I will definitely make the Mermaid Clan lower their heads to you. If anyone disobeys, I will not show mercy.”
“Mm!”
Lin Yi nodded slightly.
Then he said, “After you’ve settled the Mermaid Clan, go to Unicorn Island and find Hersis. Work together to suppress the Water Monster forces in Skyhorse Lake.”
Originally, he planned to have the Unicorn Clan find a way to join forces with the Water Monster forces and attack the Mermaid Archipelago.
But obviously, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
Now he had to help the Mermaid Clan under Daphne’s rule to suppress the Water Monster forces.
At the same time, observe the attitude of those Beastmen in the process.
If they didn’t know what was good for them, then he would directly declare war on those Beastmen.
Lin Yi also explained this idea to Daphne.
Daphne naturally accepted the order respectfully. She had long been unhappy with those Beastmen who had strong desires for invasion.
“Yes, Your Majesty. If there are no other orders, then I will take my leave!”
“Go!”
Lin Yi casually gave her a Long-Distance Communication Magic Equipment.
Daphne took it respectfully, and then turned into a golden aurora, quickly disappearing into the distant horizon.
“This is not bad either.”
“I can focus on cleaning up the evil forces in the Demonized Forest.”
Lin Yi was very relieved to leave the matters on Skyhorse Lake to Daphne. After all, she was an Intermediate Demigod Medusa, it was unlikely that she wouldn’t be able to handle such a small matter.
Even if there really was an accident along the way, he could directly teleport over to solve it.
Without thinking further.
Lin Yi’s figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already above the Demonized Forest.
Not far away was the fierce battlefield in the dense forest.
One could see that the battlefield was already covered with the corpses of various Magical Beasts, and blood had already dyed the dense forest red.
Thousands of meters above the dense forest battlefield, a light gray cloud had gathered. It was very large, and it was the power of Necromancy. It had not yet evolved to the level of a canopy, but at this rate of killing, it probably wouldn’t be long before it took shape.
Below the gray cloud.
There were also densely packed figures fighting.
On one side was a Transcendent Level Magical Beast leading an army of Flying Magical Beasts.
On the other side were the Transcendent Troops of his territory, as well as the Gryphon Legion and the Warhawk Druids.
In addition, the Storm Legion was also fighting in the sky.
In the Storm Legion’s battle area, one could see super-giant tornado storms and dense, thick purple lightning. The scene was simply too spectacular.
Of course, its lethality was also particularly terrifying.
Wherever the tornado storms passed, the nearby Flying Magical Beasts would immediately be sucked in and torn to shreds.
The dense purple lightning also charred countless Magical Beasts.
On this level of battlefield, the Storm Legion was like a giant meat grinder.
Whether it was those Elf Swordsmen or the Unicorns, their combat power was all incredibly strong.
The two types of troops combined had an invincible aura.
Wherever the Storm Legion went, countless Magical Beast corpses would fall from the sky like raindrops. Many Transcendent Level Magical Beasts were scared witless.
Lin Yi turned his gaze back to the dense forest battlefield.
His 300,000 Elf Army was advancing steadily in an arc formation.
At the forefront were the 30,000 Treant Warriors, charging like 30,000 heavy tanks.
Behind them was a defensive line formed by the Elf Swordsman Army.
Further back were the densely packed Elf Archers, Elf Mages…
One could see dense rain of arrows and magic being thrown into the front line battlefield. Magical Beasts and monsters were falling in groups, the scene was like harvesting wheat.
How could ordinary Magical Beasts withstand five times the enhanced attack?
