90: Chapter 90 Hunting Second-Tier Gods

Touching the white mark on his chest that was almost about to disappear completely, Lin Xiao's laughter came from inside his battle armor.

"Hahaha, good! Well done! Since the technical difficulties have been overcome, the next step is to work hard on increasing production capacity.

Strive to equip every one of you core Believers with a set of these demigod-level battle armors!"

Hearing this from Lin Xiao, the subordinates smiled and agreed verbally. Internally, however, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. Equip all core Believers? How many Materials would that require?

Next, Lin Xiao tested the demigod-level Puppet. Overall, it was slightly stronger than a demigod, but the extent of its strength was limited.

When encountering demigods, his subordinates could finish them off in seconds, but when facing a Deity, this thing was basically just a large toy. It could be described as utterly useless, which was the awkward predicament of the Puppetry Department.

For Deities with the Puppetry Department as a secondary profession, the Puppets they could make were likely one level lower than themselves. As for those with the same strength as themselves, they basically couldn't even gather the Materials.

As for those higher than their own strength, that was even more of a luxury. Fortunately, Lin Xiao didn't have this problem, and he smiled at Jiang Ling and the other subordinates from the Puppetry Department.

"Well done. Since you've already made a demigod-level one, the Divine-Grade one probably won't be too far off. Once you truly conquer the Divine-Grade,

our strength here will immediately have a qualitative leap. Keep up the good work. If you have any needs, just ask; I will satisfy them as much as I can.

And Pavilion Master Yan Yao, you as well. I believe the day you craft a true Divine Artifact is not far off."

"We subordinates will definitely double our efforts and craft a Divine-Grade Puppet (Divine Artifact) to offer to you, my Lord, as soon as possible!"

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, then changed the subject to today's hunting issue.

"Regarding the hunting over the past two days, in terms of harvest alone, we have undoubtedly had a great haul in every sense. If it were normal times, it wouldn't be impossible for us to keep killing like this.

Unfortunately, everyone is clear about the current situation. Once that Third-order Deity of the Law of Death successfully ascends, it is very likely that we will all become its nourishment.

Therefore, in order to more directly influence the enemy's arrangements, I think it is time for us to find some Second-order Deity prey.

Of course, you have to eat one bite at a time. Try to find those solitary Second-order Deities; same old rule: quick battle, quick decision."

"My Lord, wouldn't this be too risky? After all, in terms of amplification, a Second-order Deity is at least ten times stronger than us..."

"That's right, my Lord. Even if we want to prune the enemy's wings, there is no need to rush for this moment. If we accumulate strength for a while longer, wouldn't it be more secure?"

Listening to the sincere considerations of his subordinates, Lin Xiao smiled bitterly internally. How could he not want to be more secure? But there was a ghost mixed into the team, and that was even more terrifying than the enemy!

He was just thinking about whether he could use the enemy's hand to force this ghost out. This was the best method he could think of at the moment.

He looked up at the sixteen suns in the sky. Two days had passed, yet these scorching suns showed no signs of fatigue, and he didn't know how long they would fight.

"The battlefield situation changes in an instant, and none of us know which side the first 'sun' to be extinguished will belong to.

Therefore, before the outcome is determined, we must do our best to reach our limit. That way, if we really lose in the end, at least we will have no regrets..."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this, and after looking up at the sixteen scorching suns in the sky, their eyes became firm.

"My Lord, your lesson is correct. It is we who became somewhat carried away because of the harvest these past two days..."

After the decision was made, Jiang Meng and Guan Hong simultaneously unfolded their Laws. They filtered through the various destinies and futures to select the most suitable one for them.

This search took two hours. Compared to the demigods and First-order Deities scattered everywhere, the number of Second-order Deities was significantly lower, and they also needed the kind that were as solitary as possible.

After some back and forth, most of the targets were filtered out.

At one moment, Jiang Meng and Guan Hong opened their eyes at the same time. They looked at each other and nodded.

Then, under Jiang Meng's command, the starship began to travel at a low altitude. Along the way, it took many turns, avoiding most of the enemies.

For those that could not be avoided, they ended the battle instantly by way of a sneak attack. The starship sailed for an hour and finally stopped outside an inconspicuous courtyard.

"According to the guidance of the future (destiny), there is a Second-order Deity inside this courtyard. My Lord, what do you think?"

Thinking of the Second-order Deity that had chased them so miserably two days ago, Lin Xiao took a deep breath.

[I have a Second-order one here too! If that fails, there's still the ultimate weapon, the Law of Plague. The advantage is mine!]

"Follow the previous plan; once the target is discovered, cover it directly with Divine Power. Strive to heavily injure the opponent in one strike. If we really can't defeat it... then it will be my turn!"

The subordinates nodded one after another, while Elder Yang looked at everyone with a confused expression. Under the cover of the Law of Falsehood, he had already deceived one of the subordinates completely.

He could clearly know everything Lin Xiao said through the Slave Mark transmission. But why didn't he understand this sentence?

What did it mean that if they couldn't defeat it, it would be this kid's turn? A Divine Being, could he really do something to a Second-order Deity?

Could it be that the other party had a top-tier Third-order Divine Artifact and a massive amount of liberated Divine Power?

Fortunately, his question was immediately resolved by the deceived Deity. After listening to the other party's explanation, his gaze towards Lin Xiao instantly became vigilant.

[Are you kidding me? A plague that even Third-order Deities cannot be immune to, and this kid actually carries it with him? Is he not afraid of ruining his own Divine Kingdom?]

Originally, the impression Lin Xiao gave him was that he was a fool with money, but now that he understood the other party's backup plan, he couldn't help but add another label: a ruthless person.

Not only ruthless to others, but also ruthless to himself. With such a terrifying thing, even if it is isolated by a Divine Artifact of Life, one shouldn't be careless, right?

The group silently disembarked from the starship and quickly approached the direction of the courtyard. As soon as they approached the courtyard, a low shout suddenly came from inside.

"Didn't I say that no one is allowed to approach this place?! Is my word no longer effective?"

Just as the Second-order Deity in the courtyard spoke, a strange light flashed in Elder Yang's eyes. The Law of Falsehood swept out instantly.

This move immediately caused the Second-order Deity in the courtyard to experience a mental blankness of less than one second.

And the moment the other party spoke, Meng Ning and the others knew their whereabouts were exposed. They didn't care about continuing to hide their tracks and immediately rushed towards the direction where the voice came from.

At the same time, surging Divine Power of the Law gathered around them.

The moment they saw the man in the courtyard, more than twenty surges of Divine Power of the Law immediately completely submerged the man.

And it was only at the moment when these Law attacks were close to his body that this Second-order Deity finally snapped out of the Law of Falsehood.

After quickly reacting to his situation, the man's face was filled with shock and anger.

"Damn it!"
