Boom! The members of Night Raid witnessed a scene that shattered their worldview. Leone kept finding cover and fleeing everywhere, while a small Black Smoke in the sky, as if it had eyes, continuously struck down bolt after bolt of lightning.
No matter where Leone hid, even if she buried herself in the ground, the lightning could accurately strike her. The lightning could even ignore all obstacles; even if she hid in the base, the lightning would curve its way in.
"Luu-ha-luuu—" Leone rolled her eyes and fell to the ground, puffing out Black Smoke rings from her mouth, her golden hair now like a porcupine.
But miraculously, she had no injuries on her body; at most, she was knocked unconscious by the painful lightning strikes.
This wasn't over yet; the Black Smoke in the sky shrank to the size of a hat and remained suspended above Leone's head.
"..—..."
The members of Night Raid, sweating profusely, gathered around Leone, who was puffing Black Smoke rings from being struck by lightning, not daring to breathe.
Is this truly God? Is this God's power? It's too incredible, completely unimaginable.
Arichi squatted down and poked Leone's cheek with her index finger, causing even more Black Smoke rings to emerge from Leone's mouth.
It directly squeezed out the remaining smoke from her mouth.
"So—so petty—" Leone groggily regained consciousness, and the Black Smoke suspended above her head suddenly emitted blue electric currents.
"——." In an instant, the members of Night Raid retreated a few steps, fearing the lightning would strike them.
"I won't say it, I won't say it, spare me." Leone instantly jolted, sprang up, and her head thumped against the floor.
She was scared, truly scared. No wonder myths and legends say you can't offend God, no matter who else you offend; God is truly petty.
Buzz~
Five golden light particles appeared, flying towards the five members of Night Raid. Before they could react, the light particles entered their chests.
"Ah! What! What was that thing!" Mine, after reacting, frantically felt around her chest, and the next moment, a large amount of information appeared in her mind.
"Divine Blessing. —. "Flight"—" Mine widened her eyes.
"Divine Blessing—. "Teleportation"." Sheele said blankly.
"This is God, God's Divine Blessing!" Brand recovered and excitedly, the veins on his muscles bulged: "Divine Blessing "Blood Qi Burst"."
"God's Protection "Thread Manipulation Art"." Lubbock's eyes widened.
They never expected to actually receive God's Divine Blessing, and at the same time, they understood the criteria for God bestowing Divine Blessing.
They met the criteria for being bestowed.
After Night Raid digested the information in their minds, they instantly became devout believers of God. After all, how could they not follow a God who could bring light to the world?
Their ideal, from joining Night Raid, has always been similar: for justice, to assassinate those corrupt nobles of the Empire, so that commoners would not be oppressed.
"We must fight for all that is good."
"Thank you, Great God. We will surely practice your Divine Will and not disappoint your expectations of us." Brand devoutly bowed to the small Black Smoke above Leone's head.
"I am the same." Lubbock bowed solemnly.
"Me too, the Empire should have fallen long ago." Mine's eyes were firm. She was a mixed-race of a different race, bullied since childhood, and almost died many times until she joined Night Raid.
God has descended and will bestow Divine Blessing upon the kind people of the Empire to become 'God's Grace'; in the future, 'God's Grace' will become more and more numerous.
'God's Grace' are all kind and righteous people; how could they allow the corrupt Empire to continue to exist?
The Empire only has 48 Imperial Arms in total, but 'God's Grace' is not limited to just that.
She could already imagine how exaggerated the scene would be when the "God's Grace" united.
The Empire is now undoubtedly a decaying corpse.
Brand patted his chest, emitting a dull sound, and excitedly said: "My "Blood Qi Burst" stores blood qi during training and bursts it during combat to multiply my strength. It can also gather blood qi to form a blood qi projectile. What are the effects of your Divine Blessings?"
Mine excitedly said: "Flight, just like Leone's. Combined with my Imperial Arm Pumpkin Cannon, I can directly snipe from the sky, no longer restricted by terrain. I am confident I can snipe anyone."
This was why she envied Leone's ability to fly before; her strength with flight and without flight was vastly different.
"Mine is Thread Manipulation Art; I can attach my thoughts to threads to manipulate them. Combined with my Imperial Arm, it's also extremely exaggerated. Not only that, Thread Manipulation Art can also control threads from a distance, making them as hard as steel."
Lubbock's eyes were gleaming: "Think about it, who doesn't wear clothes? If I control threads from a distance and make them as hard as metal, I can directly kill the target."
"Hiss—how is your Divine Blessing so perverted? Can you do that now?" Mine took a deep breath.
"Uh, not yet. According to the information, I can do it after upgrading to Lv. 5."
"Tch—I thought I could do it now." Brand pouted. His Divine Blessing could also fire blood qi light waves after upgrading to Lv. 5.
"My Flight isn't that powerful. Upgrading only increases flying speed. Upgrading to Lv. 5, I can reach anywhere in the Empire within three hours."
"Sheele, what's the effect of your "Teleportation"?" Mine looked at the blank-faced glasses girl.
Sheele blinked, bit her finger, and said blankly: "It means I can instantly reach places my eyes can see. Currently, the maximum teleportation distance is one thousand meters. At Lv. 5, I can also teleport with others or objects."
"" Mine, Brand, and Lubbock stared blankly at Sheele.
"No! This is too heaven-defying!" Mine exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's too heaven-defying. Instantly reaching a thousand meters away, who can catch Sheele? Or rather, who can stop Sheele's assassination?" Lubbock nodded frantically.
"Arichi, what's your Divine Blessing?" Mine asked Arichi, who hadn't spoken.
"Self-recovery," Arichi said.
"Self-recovery? What's the effect?"
"As long as I'm not dead, I can recover to the healthiest state." Arichi blinked.
"Uh, specifically?"
"Oh—roughly, if I lose an arm or leg, or get my head chopped off, as long as I'm still conscious, I can quickly recover to the best state, and poisoning will also disappear," Arichi said.
"Hiss———" Everyone gasped. This was truly heaven-defying.
"No, why is it so perverted?" Leone instantly flipped up, staring dumbfounded at Arichi, who spoke these words in the calmest tone.
"Now, I can continuously use Murasame's ultimate technique," Arichi said, raising the Imperial Arm in her hand with a blank expression.
"And I don't have to worry about injuries affecting my actions."
