437. After the Battle

Green Tree Castle, Inner Circle.

Sulu appeared directly in the living room.

Beside them, the Shadow Clone who had rescued Siso and Alsen had already returned and was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

The two Sulu exchanged a glance, the Shadow Clone smiled slightly, handed over several Curio, and then slowly disappeared.

Beatrice, who was wiping the floor nearby, watched this scene without any surprise and continued with her work.

"Although this mission successfully killed quite a few fifth-tier warriors from the Chris Empire, Rick ultimately escaped. He may have even taken some of Sivinardo's treasures or occult knowledge, so it can't be considered a success..."

"If we add Sivinardo's resurrection to that, it would be a complete defeat."

Sulu browsed through the memories shared by his Shadow Clone. After he rescued Alsen, the Warden parted ways with them with a serious expression, and told them to tell Dunstan that they must be prepared.

The appearance of a deity in the world is absolutely a cataclysmic event for the Federation.

This prison warden must have gone back to mobilize all the resources of the Federation and begun preparations.

While it's impossible for the Federation to be protected by gods, there are certainly sixth-tier professionals, and in addition, there should be several Curio that can be considered national treasures.

The foundation of the Chris Empire is only more abundant than that of the Federation.

"In the era when Spirit Descent and walked upon the land?"

Sulu murmured, a mixture of excitement and curiosity in his voice.

Such a mythical era is indeed very fascinating.

He quickly washed up, returned to his bedroom, and began to take stock of his gains.

Although this operation resulted in the loss of a Demigod, the divine knowledge gained in return is more than enough to compensate for Sulu's needs.

"A large section of the barrier to the seventh tier has been removed. Now I should be planning to advance to the sixth tier... Only a sixth-tier Mythical Body can fully digest the mysterious knowledge within that golden crystal."

Sulu muttered to himself, and a brand new Sealing Card appeared in his hand.

Its front is bathed in twilight, with a figure in a yellow robe standing in the background. The robe is embroidered with tentacle-like patterns that are dazzling to the eye.

This is a terrifying spirit sealed within Tops' body, which has already reached the quasi-sixth rank.

"The abilities gained after the seal are now clear... The greatest ability of this Sealing Card is—delay!"

Sulu opened his slightly closed eyes, his expression filled with surprise.

Since becoming fourth-tier Wicked Spirit, spirits have begun to master all sorts of incredible abilities, and this near-sixth-tier Yellow-Robed Spirit is no exception.

Its ability is very special; it can only be applied to the user, delaying all damage for up to decades!

"This ability... is a bit terrifying, it involves time?"

Sulu stroked the cards, quite excited. "Indeed... this spirit has this ability, which is why Tops survived! However, it also has its weaknesses... the damage isn't erased, it's just 'postponed,' and it will still erupt sooner or later. Moreover, the more it accumulates, the more tragic the end will be. Tops is the best example."

"Of course, its value is beyond doubt, almost equivalent to a blessing of 'immunity from certain death'..."

While injuries sustained on the battlefield may be fatal, there may still be ways to save one.

For example, if you encounter a death curse, you can forcibly use the Yellow-Robed Spirit to postpone the onset of the curse until you find a way to break the curse, and then let it take effect to escape from the inevitable death situation.

"It must be used with caution, and too much damage must be accumulated, otherwise it will become irreversible and certain death will follow..."

Sulu sensed the Sealing Card again. "There's a certain time interval between using this ability, and it can only 'postpone' one instance of damage at a time... That's to be expected, otherwise wouldn't it become invincible?"

"At the same time, if you encounter a spirit with the same abilities, this skill may be countered or broken, so you can't be careless."

Knock knock!

Just as Sulu was about to rest, there was a knock on the door.

"It's Dunstan."

Beatrice's voice came from outside the door. "He apologized for the intrusion, but asked you to come to the conference room immediately."

"All right..."

Sulu rubbed his forehead, realizing that it was unrealistic for Green Tree Castle to remain completely unresponsive after such a significant event.

He changed into a formal suit and went to the Green Tree Council with Dunstan.

At this point, all nine councilors had arrived, making a total of ten including him.

Dunstan took the seat of Speaker without hesitation, while Sulu's seat was fourth.

To his right stood [Eclipse Mage] Ilin, the third Legendary Professional of Green Tree Castle, who smiled kindly at him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please look at this scene."

Once everyone had arrived, Dunstan didn't say much and simply played a video.

It appeared to be a blurry image of the Spirit World taken from high above, but it was indeed Nia City in the Dream Spirit World.

As you can see, a storm, a mixture of dreams and light, is utterly destroying the city.

Not far away, a three-masted sailboat sailed from the Spirit World, with several figures standing on its bow, all staring solemnly in the direction of Nia City.

"That ship is one of the Federation's trump cards, the Spirit World Ship! Carrying on it are the Federation's original pride, the sixth-tier Guardian."

Dunstan's explanation to the crowd unsurprisingly caused an uproar.

Even Ilin frowned, clearly unaware that the Federation had so many trump cards up its sleeve.

"According to the reconnaissance of the Guardian who were dispatched immediately, the Nia City has been completely destroyed... and the resurrected Mad God has actually shattered the divine descent of the Goddess of Light, which is an unbelievable thing."

"Currently, although this Mad God's whereabouts are unknown, he has not left our world."

Dunstan coughed and continued, "Therefore... I declare a state of emergency in the Inner Circle and activate Plan No. 3!"

A living deity!

His influence was enough to overthrow a powerful nation.

Sulu could imagine that not only the White Eagle Federation, but even His Majesty the Emperor of the Chris Empire, were probably caught off guard by this scene.

However, this was none of his business, since he didn't wield any real power. As Honorary Councilor, all he had to do was listen in.

After the meeting ended, Dunstan made a point of keeping all three legends behind.

"Sulu, Siso ... Although this mission wasn't entirely successful, Alsen has a very high opinion of you, especially Sulu ..."

Dunstan smiled and said, "In addition to the pre-arranged rewards, he has also Sulu you, Sulu, for an important position in the Federation."

"Oh?" Instead of being flattered by this nomination, Sulu frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "What position is it?"

Dunstan's smile widened, "White Eagle Guardian! Although only a reserve..."
