Chapter 276 Getting By Deception
"The immortal sent by the alien race is dead just like that?" Eloi couldn't help but ask.
That's way too easy!
Merlin, clad in silver armor, smiled and said, "Your Highness, the two immortal experts sent by the alien race this time are both at the Marquis level of immortality. They are both very strong and immortal. Normally, such enemies would indeed be very difficult to kill."
Eloi couldn't help but nod.
A genius of her status and position has far greater authority than the average genius and is already able to know a lot of high-level information.
However, this is only relative. In terms of knowledge and experience, they are certainly not as good as the two immortals who lived a long life.
"Immortal power—containing energy and life imprints—is considered the most basic component of immortal gods."
"However, ordinary immortal gods who have just broken through haven't truly and perfectly fused their life imprint and cells," Merlin said. "Only those who cultivate to the level of 'immortality' have their life imprint completely integrated deep within each of their cells. Even if their divine body is completely shattered and reduced to ashes, as long as a single cell fragment remains, they can quickly absorb energy and body fragments, rapidly restoring themselves to wholeness."
"This is immortality. Those who possess immortality are generally ennobled as marquises or immortals," Agni said in a low voice from the side. "Having cultivated immortality, as long as the difference in strength isn't too great, being blasted apart once has almost no impact on one's strength, as there's no energy consumption."
"However, it also depends on what level of combat you're fighting," Merlin shook her head. "There are normally two ways to kill an immortal god with an immortal body: one is soul destruction, and the other is forced annihilation."
"Just now, our King-level attack forcefully annihilated two Marquis-level Immortals sent by the alien race."
Merlin continued, "Forced annihilation is difficult! It relies on absolute power suppression to destroy the opponent's immortal divine power, achieving complete destruction! Once the opponent's immortal divine power is completely annihilated—the opponent will naturally die."
"Only those at the peak of the King-level can easily kill a high-ranking Marquis without paying any price. If one is below that level, it would probably take burning some divine power to quickly annihilate the opponent," Agni sighed.
Both he and Merlin were considered to be at the "high-ranking" level of being granted the title of Marquis.
If a "King-level" kills a "Marquis-level" killer, even without burning immortal divine power, a normal attack can damage the opponent's essence. Burning a little immortal divine power is enough to easily kill the killer, and it will only take a few years to recover.
This is forced annihilation! It relies on the absolute difference in energy; if the difference isn't enough, it relies on "burning immortal divine power".
"Burning one's own immortal divine power" means permanently losing that portion of divine power, along with the tiny fraction of soul it contains. This is a permanent loss!
How much divine power to burn depends on the difference in strength between the two sides.
For someone at the initial stage of being a King, once they ignite their immortal divine power, the instantaneous attack power they generate is terrifying, comparable to that of a peak King, and can naturally annihilate a Marquis.
Annihilating a high-ranking Marquis would require a hundred or a thousand years to recover even for a low-ranking King.
The human kings who made the move were all at least at the peak of the kingship level, so they didn't need to do this; they easily wiped out the marquises of the alien forces.
While Suk and his group were talking, the matter with the Vovi family seemed to have ended. The Prison Blade King and another woman with a hazy, winged figure and wearing crystal-like armor came to Suk and his group.
"Suk." The cold-faced Prison Blade King in black spoke, his voice icy, as was his usual style. "You were the first to discover the alien spy this time. Even the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence department didn't detect a single clue beforehand. How did you manage to do that?"
The "Lingkong King," who was over two meters tall, also looked over curiously with his beautiful eyes.
Suk was already mentally prepared for the questioning from the Prison Blade King.
He smiled and said, "You might not believe me, but it's just my intuition."
"Intuition?" The Prison Blade King and the Spirit Sky King exchanged a glance.
"Yes, a long time ago, when I was still very weak, I encountered an unexpected disaster. That was the first time I faced a life-or-death crisis," Suk said with emotion. "And after that, I discovered that I am very sensitive to danger. If someone is hostile or malicious towards me, no matter how well they hide it, I can sense it."
As Suk said this, he also glanced at the two kings in front of him.
【Prison Blade King Feng Luo, human (King-level limit), possessed before – Relationship: Friendly】
[Inner Voice: Become stronger, break through to the Universe Venerable realm. Slay Bloodhoof!]
[Lingkong Wang·Regshu, Human (Peak of Kingship), Valkyrie - Relationship: Curious about you]
[Heartfelt Words: Peaceful Times, Nurturing Our People]
Very good, it seems neither of these two kings will make things difficult for themselves.
Suk continued, "When I arrived at the Vovi family's mansion, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. When I entered the banquet hall, I felt that someone was watching me—"
"There must have been many people observing you back then," said Lingkong Wang.
"Yes, but the feeling is different," Suk continued, making up a story. "When others look at me, it's normal, I don't feel offended. But that alien spy was filled with malicious intent towards me. When they looked at me, the feeling I got was different—..."
"I've always kept a low profile in the Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom and rarely offend anyone," Suk said. "While there are humans who are hostile towards me, in this case, I was more inclined to believe that it was sent by alien races to deal with me."
"As the saying goes, better safe than sorry! Since I've discovered someone who harbors murderous intent towards me, to be on the safe side, I'd rather assume they're a spy from another race. Even if I'm wrong, it won't cause any greater damage—" Suk smiled slightly. "As it turns out, my judgment was correct."
"You identified those alien spies using this? That sounds pretty—." King Lingkong shook his head.
I know it's ridiculous, but just tell me if you believe it or not.
Suk remained calm, his face radiating sincerity.
The King of Hellblades then spoke up. "Intuition is a mysterious thing, yet it certainly exists. It's hard to say. Since that alien spy is real, it proves that Suk at least didn't lie to us—"
King Lingkong blinked: "Alright, but in that case, we'll have to continue investigating the alien races from other angles."
The Prison Blade King smiled slightly. "At least this time we've caught them red-handed. Hmph, they think they're hiding well, but they underestimate our Virtual Universe Company—since those alien races dared to expose themselves this time, they should be prepared to pay the price!"
He then turned to Suk and said, "Alright, Suk, this assassination attempt on you by the aliens will definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups. You also need to be careful and take protective measures. After all—too many of our human geniuses have died at the hands of the aliens and never reached their full potential."
"Among those geniuses are many unparalleled geniuses like yourself, appearing only once every hundred million epochs. There are even disciples of the pinnacle of our human race. But so what? Under the machinations of the alien races, those destined to perish still perished."
His tone was full of profound meaning.
The Spirit King, standing to the side, nodded in agreement. "I'm certain that those two alien marquises are extremely skilled in matters of the soul. If they had recklessly burned their divine power from the start to try and control you with their souls, you would have been truly finished."
Two powerful, immortal beings who had been granted the title of Marquis were burning their divine power in a desperate attempt to control the Domain Lord? In their eyes, how could they possibly fail?
Fortunately, those alien races weren't so crazy, or rather, they didn't seize the opportunity, which led to the failure of this operation.
But the sheer danger involved is enough to send chills down your spine just thinking about it.
Hearing the words of the two kings, Suk felt a chill run down his spine. "I understand." He was also feeling a little scared. He could resist soul control, and at worst, he could just self-destruct this body to thwart the alien race's plan. But what about Eloi?
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was cautious enough to prevent the alien race from succeeding.
