"You've only been a Demigod for a few years. Has your flight speed reached two thousand kilometers per second yet?"
"While my Metal Life can't match High-level Gods who specialize in speed, its flight speed has reached three thousand kilometers per second. If you think that's slow, why don't you come out and we can race?"
Shelley's strongest Divine Clone was currently the Wind Element Divine Clone, an Asura that had fused seven Profound Mysteries of Wind Element Laws. Its flight speed reached over five thousand kilometers per second.
For Shelley to call its Metal Life slow, it was understandable.
But for a Demigod with a speed of less than two thousand kilometers per second to call a Metal Life with a speed of three thousand kilometers per second slow, what kind of mentality was that?
"Heh heh, heh heh..."
Tina chuckled foolishly.
She just wanted to reach the next city faster so she could start her adventure.
She wasn't actually foolish!
"Master."
"Lord Roy."
At this moment, Roy emerged from the Metal Life's room, perfectly resolving Tina's awkwardness.
However, Roy didn't intend to let Tina off the hook.
She was about to go out and participate in the Demon Assessment alone, yet she was still so reckless. Was she afraid she wouldn't die fast enough?
"I just heard someone say her speed is even faster than a Metal Life?"
"No, no, Master, you heard wrong."
Tina was startled and quickly denied it, waving her hands.
Over the past hundred years, she had genuinely become a little intimidated by her Master.
Master Roy was excellent in every way. Under his tutelage, she had not only fully grasped six Profound Mysteries of Earthly Laws but had also completely comprehended the "Life Force" Profound Mysteries within a hundred years, advancing to the Divine Realm.
At that time, Tina had been quite proud.
Because she had heard Shelley say that Master Roy only became a Demigod at the age of five hundred.
If that were the case, wouldn't her talent be three times greater than Master Roy's?
However, the worst thing about Master Roy was that he only explained things once. If she made a mistake or showed a weakness in combat, she would face a barrage of severe beatings.
Yes, a literal severe beating!
He called it a good way to make her remember.
"Whether I heard correctly or not isn't important. What's important is that I want you to personally experience the difference between two thousand kilometers per second and three thousand kilometers per second."
"Are you ready, Tina?"
"No..."
Before Tina could even cry out, she found her Master had vanished before her eyes. Greatly alarmed, she instantly spread her Spiritual Sense, only to feel a strong gust of wind approaching.
Too late to dodge, a fiery red skirt appeared on Tina's body.
"Bang!"
The gust of wind struck Tina's skirt, sending her stumbling forward a few steps.
"Good reaction. If you can't dodge, immediately use a Lord God Artifact to defend yourself. This reaction earns you a passing grade."
"But my speed just now was only about twenty-one hundred kilometers per second."
"Now, it's twenty-two hundred kilometers per second!"
Before Tina could steady herself, she heard Roy's telepathic message.
Afterward, Tina was flicked by Roy's index finger, tossed around the Metal Life like a ball, with his speed increasing from twenty-one hundred all the way to three thousand. He made Tina truly understand the principle of "All martial arts are invincible, only speed is unbreakable."
"Bang!"
When Roy's figure reappeared, Tina's body fell from the air, landing on the Metal Life.
"Ouch, ouch..."
Even though she was wearing a material defense Lord God Artifact, it had no effect on Roy.
Of course, Roy hadn't actually broken Tina's material defense Lord God Artifact. He had merely infused a bit of soul attack into each strike, allowing Tina to feel the pain of being attacked.
"Tina, it seems your vigilance is still not enough..."
Seeing Tina still rolling on the ground, Roy said leisurely.
Instantly, Tina sprang up from the ground, a faint yellow light appearing before her as she warily stared at Roy.
Unfortunately, her movements were still too slow.
"Swish..."
Ripples spread through the air, and chains flew out from the ripples, quickly binding Tina's limbs.
"Chains of Heaven!"
Roy strolled up to the bound Tina and shook his head.
"Tina, the battles of gods are battles of laws."
"And the application of laws is ever-changing; a moment's carelessness can lead to utter annihilation."
"There are close-range attacks, long-range attacks, and the most bizarre soul attacks."
"Look at you, you're alright at dealing with close-range attacks, but your experience in handling long-range attacks is severely lacking."
"I'm already considering whether I should give you some combat reinforcement as a God-level expert before letting you complete the Demon Assessment and become a demon."
"Otherwise, I'm truly worried you'll get killed in some forgotten corner before you can even pass the Demon Assessment."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a long spear was pressed against Roy's neck.
Tina's figure slowly materialized behind Roy.
"Then I'm truly sorry, Master, for disappointing you and not being able to give me combat reinforcement."
At this moment, Tina, who was bound by Roy's "Chains of Heaven," suddenly dispersed into a yellow light, leaving behind only her clothes.
This was Tina's most proud technique—
Mirror Flower Water Moon series—Cicada Shell!
Roy had once told Tina that once she fully understood the secret of how mental energy transmitted information from the outside world to herself, she would be able to learn spiritual sense transmission.
Well, for Tina, who was still in the Saint Realm at the time, it should have been called "mental energy transmission."
After Tina, under Roy's guidance, successfully grasped the secret of mental energy transmitting information, and with Roy's intentional or unintentional nurturing, she developed the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" series of combat techniques.
The so-called "Mirror Flower Water Moon" involved Tina transmitting certain informational images of herself to her opponent through mental energy, causing the opponent to become trapped in the "information" she wove, thereby aiding her in combat.
In simple terms, it was illusion.
This was a soul attack with Tina's distinct characteristics.
Furthermore, because the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" developed by Tina was an extension based on spiritual sense transmission, it had no offensive power and posed no threat to anyone. Thus, once Tina used "Mirror Flower Water Moon," those who received Tina's "Mirror Flower Water Moon" information would have no idea they had fallen victim to Tina's illusion.
This was similar to transmitting spiritual sense to an enemy during combat; regardless of how the enemy defended, they could still hear the content of the transmission.
It possessed a characteristic of "ignoring defenses."
With the development of the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" series, Tina's comprehension of the "Life Force" profound mystery, which contained soul profundities within the Earthly Laws, advanced rapidly. In a century, she fully comprehended it and reached the God Realm.
The mastery of "Life Force" further greatly enhanced the power of Tina's "Mirror Flower Water Moon" series of techniques.
The technique "Cicada Shell" from just now involved Tina leaving a trace of her spiritual sense within a portion of the "Earth Element," creating an image of herself in her original location. Both visual observation and spiritual sense scans couldn't detect any flaws.
Tina herself, through "Mirror Flower Water Moon," altered her aura, blending herself with the surrounding environment to achieve an effect akin to "invisibility."
It had to be said that Tina's talent truly gave Roy a surprise.
Without using his spiritual sense, his gaze hadn't even noticed that the bound Tina was actually a fake.
"Good, good, good!"
"Tina, congratulations, you've passed as a Demigod."
Roy turned to look at Tina, nodding with satisfaction.
This was the disciple he had trained.
He just wondered to what extent she could develop "Mirror Flower Water Moon" in the end.
"Hahahaha…"
Having "defeated" Master Roy for the first time and received his acknowledgment, Tina was immensely proud.
"Shelley, did you see that? I defeated Master!"
"Am I amazing?"
"Yes, yes, you're amazing."
Shelley dotingly stroked Tina's hair. "But little aunt, the people you'll encounter in the Demon Assessment won't be as lenient as your Master. You'll need to be constantly vigilant then."
"Also, as your Master said, you've only passed among Demigods. You're still far from it when facing Gods and High-level Gods."
"When you encounter battles involving Gods and High-level Gods, run as far away as possible. Preserving your life is the most important thing, understand?"
Although she was praising Tina, Shelley couldn't help but worry about her, constantly reminding Tina.
"I understand, Shelley."
"You're even more nagging than Master Roy."
Tina pouted, a little unhappy.
She had clearly defeated Master Roy, so why was Shelley still worried?
Didn't she trust her strength that much?
Shelley smiled.
How could she not worry?
Although Tina was her little aunt, she had essentially raised her, and their bond was naturally deep.
She wasn't an ignorant little girl like Tina.
From the beginning, when she fought for the Four Divine Beast Family, to becoming Lord Roy's maid, and then an emissary of the Death Sovereign, Shelley's perspective, it can be said that few gods in the Magic Universe could match her.
It was precisely because she knew more that she understood just how fragile low-level gods were.
Shelley still remembered the very first Plane Wars, where even low-level gods could join the Sovereign Legion to fight.
Now, more than twenty yanji have passed. For reference, yanji is Hong Meng's own method of counting years; one yanji is sixty trillion years.
The Lord Gods rarely kept track of time. Shelley only remembered that since she began interacting with Lord Gods and became a Lord God's Emissary, learning about the Plane Wars that occurred once every trillion years, over twenty-six thousand such wars had taken place.
Now, low-level gods were completely unqualified to join the Sovereign Legion, and mid-level gods were merely the lowest-ranking soldiers within the Sovereign Legion.
High-level gods were the squad leaders.
And the high-level gods in the outside world were no fewer than those in the Sovereign Legion.
In fact, the most elite high-level gods wouldn't join the Sovereign Legion at all.
