"What did you say?!"
Rimewind's eyes widened as he looked at Octopus Lady as though she were a victim whose senses had been muddled by an illusion.
Though he had not activated his spiritual vision, he had likewise sensed the changes coming from the center of the star zone just now.
He knew full well that, among the many God's Chosen Ones at the center of the star zone, one had already successfully ascended to godhood.
And the rapidly fading killing intent permeating the vacuum proved that the one who had ascended was most likely not the God's Chosen One who possessed the authorities of "Slaughter" and "War."
That ruled out Wushe and the young man carrying a blade.
That left only Xurang Xi.
Yet Octopus Lady was now saying that the one who had become a god was not Xurang Xi?
If her senses had not been muddled by an illusion, then what had?
Seeing that Octopus Lady did not respond to him at once, the Rimewind King made a snap decision. He immediately pulled a hammer-shaped item from his waist, preparing to step forward and rescue her.
[Item Name: Mind-Waking Hammer] [Quality: Perfect] [Function Description: Hold this hammer correctly and strike the target with force. Depending on the degree of the target's mental confusion, there is a 40%–80% chance of restoring the target's clarity.] [Note: A small hammer costs forty, a big hammer costs eighty...]
"Take this!"
The Rimewind King drew breath into his core, poured in his strength, and swung the hammer straight at Octopus Lady's forehead!
The first blow landed true, smashing solidly into the head of the Neptune Domain's overlord.
But when the Rimewind King prepared to press on and bring down a second strike—
A shooting tentacle forcibly halted his hammer swing.
