Chapter 384 The Malicious Life God System
Amidst the grief of the Elf Dragon God, Heracleil, the second duel began slowly.
The opening was still choosing the site of the duel.
Under the Divine Power of the Grand Will Judicator of the Duel Arena, a newly born world was soon chosen.
After the dueling stage was determined, the parties could officially begin their confrontation.
However, just as Afra was about to draw the next card according to Lette's arrangement, a light suddenly shone on the opposing dueling platform.
"Judge, I request the application of Divine Gift."
[Judgment passed, usage permitted.]
The gods in the audience were taken aback. The duel had just begun, and neither side had dispatched their followers to the destination yet. Using Divine Gift so early?
It can only be used three times in a duel! Are they wasting one of those chances right off the bat?
However, Heracleil's next move shocked all the gods present.
"I activate, Decay of Life."
Heracleil took out a staff from behind and pointed towards the arena below.
A wave of green light emanated from the staff, pouring into the arena's illusion.
Soon after, in that young world, green light blossomed in the sky.
Then, all life in that world began to wither rapidly.
In an instant, this newly born world completely lost its vitality.
This scene made the gods' scalps tingle. Even Lette frowned and clenched his fist.
Joanna involuntarily grabbed Lette's arm, "What are they trying to do?"
"These lunatics! To use such a vicious method."
Lette rubbed his forehead, "I anticipated they would change tactics, but I didn't expect them to be so insane."
He then shouted loudly towards the other direction, "It's the Life God System! Yet they use such a vile method that defiles life!
You are an insult to the name of the Life God System!
Disgraceful! Utterly disgraceful!"
In the face of Lette's anger, the Elf Dragon God and the cohort of the Life God System looked grim, yet they showed no hint of remorse.
"Childish! Ridiculous! This is a duel!"
The Elf Dragon God was somewhat shaken too, after all, exterminating an entire world's life wasn't something any god could knowingly commit.
Moreover, it was absolutely against his divinity.
"I activate the second Divine Gift!"
[Judgment passed, usage permitted]
The Elf Dragon God took a deep breath, then took out a palm-sized straw figure.
"I activate the special item of the arena, the Voodoo Grassman!"
[Undergoing judgment, please hold on...]
The emergence of the Voodoo Grassman caused a stir in the audience.
Many gods didn't even recognize what it was, but thankfully, some seasoned gods familiar with the arena clarified things.
"This is a special item of the arena! It is a reward only obtained by gods who achieve certain feats within the arena.
You may not know, but besides being a place for gods to settle private feuds,
The arena itself organizes a series of duel competitions to keep it sustained!
After all, if the arena remains unused for a long time, the grand will of the arena will gradually vanish.
It's like a big tree, left unfertilized and unwatered for long, and deprived of sunlight.
These competition prizes, achieving certain feats in them, would yield special items with arena privileges.
Although these items are only effective within duels at the arena, their overwhelming effects and rarity make them more valuable than typical Divine Artifacts.
Generally, they are in such high demand that having Divine Coins may not guarantee you to purchase one.
Heh heh!
The Life God System is not skilled in combat; they participated in such competitions recently but had no outstanding performance.
On the contrary, the Dragon Clan has been continuously triumphant.
I reckon this straw man item probably came from the Dragon Clan.
These two mighty forces are clearly allied to set up the Holy Light Divine Court.
Bah, it's sheer bullying, shameless to the core!"
[Judgment completed!
Duel Arena Special Item——Voodoo Grassman.
Item effect: It allows the sacrifice of your initial deployed numbers to destroy the opponent's initial numbers.
Users, please provide the sacrificial number.]
The Elf Dragon God took a deep breath and slowly uttered a number.
"9!"
The audience exploded with discussion upon hearing the result, for two reasons.
Firstly, being a missionary and management type of duel differs completely from exterminating Demons and reclaiming the Lost Land type.
In missionary duels, the maximum initial follower count is 10.
The Elf Dragon God directly blew up nine of them, opting for a mutual destruction with Afra.
Therefore, both sides now have only one remaining to dispatch into the target world.
The second reason was that in management duels, increasing the deployment number is impossible.
Once 10 were initially deployed, neither side could send new followers into this world.
All new followers had to be developed by the initial ten from the world's indigenous populace.
This kind of duel emphasizes evangelism and development.
But due to the prior [Decay of Life], the result led to the extinction of all life forms in the target world.
Which means, there would be no indigenous population to speak of.
Now the follower count was stuck at 1 for everyone.
Could this duel still go on?
Unless there was another special item on hand, capable of externally boosting the initial follower count.
Otherwise, everything seemed at a standstill.
After completing the two Divine Gifts, the Elf Dragon God let out a sigh of relief, looking assured of victory.
Afra stood there stunned, at a loss.
Then, the audience saw the Elf Dragon God launch the sole follower into the now utterly dead world—a Holy Elf.
When the Holy Elf descended from the sky to the desolate world,
he slashed his palm open, letting blood rain down on the lifeless earth.
Immediately, new life burst forth, flowers, grass, and shrubs emerged as if spring water gushed out, and towering trees sprouted up.
In the blink of an eye, the Holy Elf created a vast oasis, becoming the sole vitality of this world.
Then, he reached out to touch these plants.
From the flowers flew out a Flower Fairy, from the grass leaped out a Little Grass Spirit, from the shrubbery emerged a Wood Elf, and colossal trees turned into the Tree man Clan.
In no time, the number of followers belonging to the Life God System surged!
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before they claimed victory.
Afra looked at Lette, who remained calm and made a drawing card gesture at her.
Afra hesitated momentarily, then took a deep breath and drew the next card.
There it bore just a single word—Spore.
