"God's—Divine Blessing—It's God descending to save the world, God."
After Leone came back to her senses, she felt the power and will of God from the Divine Blessing, as well as His expectations for her.
"God favors me?"
At this moment, Leone only felt her blood boiling. This was from excitement and the realization that the world might be about to undergo earth-shattering changes.
"Because the world has become corrupt and depraved, God in heaven finally couldn't bear to watch any longer."
"Hahahaha, this is great! The Empire is finished, truly finished this time!" Leone grinned happily, her hands on her hips.
"Such powerful strength! It's truly a power belonging to humans, not a tool like an Imperial Arm." Leone eagerly activated the Divine Blessing she had just received.
"Strength!" An explosive power surged through her body. She clenched her fists and shouted, smashing a punch towards the ground.
Boom! The ground instantly vibrated from the sudden power. A shockwave formed around Leone's fist, causing the earth within a twenty-meter radius to churn like waves.
A shallow pit, twenty meters in diameter and one meter deep, appeared on the ground. The surrounding trees, though not broken, became twisted and distorted from the churning earth.
"How amazing! If this hit a person, they'd be scattered everywhere!" Leone was ecstatic. Although she could achieve a similar effect with an Imperial Arm, this was something she accomplished with her own fist. How could the effect be the same?
"If I use the Divine Blessing while also using an Imperial Arm, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?!" Leone patted her Imperial Arm on her belt.
No sooner said than done, she immediately activated her Imperial Arm.
"Beastification! Lion King!" Leone shouted, and her body instantly transformed. Her hair grew long and curly,
her hands and legs turned into those of a lion, and two stripes appeared on her face. Her already wild appearance instantly became overflowing with savagery.
Her Imperial Arm, Beastification, could transform the user into a beast and dramatically enhance their physical abilities,
sense of smell, and even the vision and reaction capabilities of a beast.
Its ultimate technique even directly enhanced her recovery ability. Even if her limbs were severed or her eyes poked out, she could stop the bleeding herself, and her limbs could reattach.
"I'll punch—"
Leone clenched her fists, raised them high, and then slammed them down towards the ground with all her might, like a hammer striking the earth.
Rumble! In an instant, Leone plunged into the ground like a cannonball. The ground vibrated as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky, churning up a large amount of soil and rocks from underground. All the surrounding trees were uprooted, and the soil formed waves that rolled in all directions.
A ten-meter-deep pit, one hundred meters in diameter, appeared.
Leone dug herself out from the center of the deep pit, spitting out a mouthful of dirt.
"So amazing, too amazing! Ah hahaha, who is still my opponent? Even those two Imperial Generals, I can take them on!"
Leone laughed heartily, hands on her hips, carried away by her excitement.
This was just one of her Divine Blessings; she also had a Divine Blessing for flight.
Thinking this, she leaped up towards the sky, jumping a hundred meters in an instant, and then floated steadily in mid-air.
Using the Divine Blessing of flight, she excitedly flew towards the sky, shooting several hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Whoo-hoo~ So fast, so fast!" Leone looked down. Below her was an endless expanse of green, and the protruding cliff not far away was their Night Raid base.
"Hehe, if I were to carry out an assassination mission, I could just fly over. Those noble guards probably wouldn't even know their master was assassinated until they died."
"And I can even directly dive down from this height and smash my fist into the ground. Even if I don't know where the noble is, this one strike would bury their entire lair."
"Ah hahahahaha—" Leone laughed heartily, hands on her hips: "I'm invincible, truly invincible!"
"Akame and Mine will be back soon. I'll give them a huge surprise."
"Oh, right, I also need to thank God for the power! It seems I, your humble servant, am still quite charming. God even favors me, yet He said I was plain-looking. He's truly saying one thing and meaning another." Leone waved her hand smugly, with a very punchable expression.
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed behind her. Her butt stung, and then the effect of the Divine Blessing on her instantly disappeared.
Before Leone could react, she began to fall.
"Ah ah ah ah ah—"
Leone instinctively screamed. The strong wind continuously rushed into her mouth. Seeing the ground getting closer and closer, tears instantly streamed out.
"Ah ah ah ah ah—I was just joking! Stingy!"
She realized at this moment that God had slapped her and then turned off the Divine Blessing.
"I was wrong! Please spare me one more time! I'm going to die, going to die, going to die—"
Falling from such a height, even if she activated her Imperial Arm's ultimate technique, she would still die.
Just as she was about to hit the ground face-first, she stopped. Her nose was only ten centimeters from the ground, and she could smell the rich scent of earth.
"Oh dear!" At this moment, she started falling again, and her face landed directly on the ground. Leone rolled over, looking utterly broken. She dared not joke about God now.
God is so petty, she was just saying it out loud!
At this moment, a voice came to her ears.
'If you dare to speak ill of me again, a Divine Punishment will descend from the heavens.'
Leone instantly shivered: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare again."
"I'm leaving, okay?"
She sprang up with a carp jump and scurried towards the Night Raid base.
"Needs a beating." Xia Wei overlooked the ground from mid-air, muttering. It would be a miracle if a wild person like Leone learned her lesson.
The Night Raid base was built on the shady side of the cliff. It was very difficult to discover any buildings here without a close inspection.
The Night Raid members who had gone on assassination missions had also returned, each looking relatively relaxed, as if they were coming back from a spring outing.
"Finally back. This time it went pretty smoothly, but I didn't expect the opponent's secret room to hide so many abducted women. It took me a lot of time to send them out." The green-haired youth stretched.
"Hmm, I need to shower. I have a lot of blood on me." The bespectacled girl with a half-human-sized pair of scissors on her back said blankly.
"Hmm, a lot of blood." The black-haired, red-eyed girl nodded expressionlessly.
"Good thing I'm a long-range sniper. If I got so much blood on me, that rusty smell would linger for a long time." The pink twin-tailed girl said thankfully.
"Oh, women are so particular. Having blood on you is a symbol of a man." The pompadour-haired man in green armor said, puffing out his chest.
At this moment, all the women looked at the pompadour-haired man, their gazes filled with hostility.
At the same time, a teasing voice came from above their heads.
"Oh~ Is that so? Brand, how about we have a little sparring match?"
The voice from above made everyone look up. And when they did, they all widened their eyes.
They saw Leone actually flying in mid-air.
"Le-Leone?"
"What's going on?"
