Chapter 840: Altering Perceptions, How Dare You Touch Someone From Our Elven Divine Realm?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
From high above, the sovereign of the Oceanic Divine Realm looked down upon the human appearing on the city walls. This human’s gaze lacked any trace of emotion, as if observing something all too mundane, his expression as calm as a lake without a single ripple.
For some reason, the sight of those shining eyes suddenly filled him with disgust.
How dare this mortal look at him so directly?
He squinted and said, “Human, are you the lord of this territory? You have already offended the majesty of our gods. By the command of our gods, we are here to destroy this land and strip you of your powers to face punishment in the Divine Realm!”
The Oceanic Divine Realm’s leaders still cared about their dignity, not wanting to directly admit their fear that Ji Chen would divide their “cake” and instead sent the Divine Realm’s troops to attack the Crown of the Ocean using a seemingly reasonable excuse.
When Ji Chen heard this absurd reason, he almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
The leader of the Oceanic Divine Realm furrowed his brows deeply, suppressing the sudden rage in his heart, “Human, what are you laughing at?”
“I laugh at the obvious malice behind your actions, intent on committing unspeakable deeds, yet you’re scared of being discovered. So, you clumsily mask your moves with a laughable excuse.
Worried about your image, you sneak around like the vermin in dark alleys.
It appears your revered Oceanic deities aren’t as formidable as claimed, unable to even inspire a convincing excuse. How pitiful.”
“Silence, you ant!” the leader of the Oceanic Divine Realm roared, his eyes blazing with fury. “How dare you slander our gods?”
“And when exactly did I offend your Oceanic deities, who can’t even set foot in the main world? What offense?”
“This…”
Ji Chen sneered.
“To attack the Crown of the Ocean without even a clear reason, you’re no better than robbers and bandits. At least they openly admit they’re after money.
No wonder the Oceanic Divine Lineage has fallen so far.”
Enraged beyond control by these mocking words, the leader of the Oceanic Divine Realm bellowed.
“You sharp-tongued human, sitting in your little domain, thinking you can defy the gods after defeating a few indigenous tribes? How laughable!”
“Let me show you the true fury of our kind! All units of the Oceanic Divine Realm’s army, slaughter every living being you encounter in this area!”
Over ten divisions belonging to various Oceanic deities mobilized, ready to launch a direct assault on the Crown of the Ocean.
As they looked down at the bewildered faces below, a cruel smile appeared on their faces. Their blood boiled with excitement, some soldiers unable to hold back, launching attacks like shooting stars, imagining the scene of these lowly ants being torn apart and wailing in agony.
However, at that moment, a dome-shaped, semi-transparent shield suddenly appeared above the Crown of the Ocean, covering most of the area.
The fierce attacks were all stopped by the shield, the dispersed energy leaving the shield unscathed.
The Oceanic Divine Realm’s army, relentless, launched another wave of attacks, only causing ripples like a dragonfly skimming water.
They didn’t even land a scratch!
The leader of the Oceanic Divine Realm’s eyes widened in anger, roaring, “What are you doing! Hit harder, shatter this turtle shell!”
But no matter how they hacked and slashed, bombarded with lightning and water, the shield, thin as cicada wings, stood firm like a mountain, as if mocking their incompetence.
Damn it!
Where did this despicable human get such a formidable shield!?
As the leader of the Oceanic Divine Realm urged his troops to keep attacking, he cursed inwardly.
As the attacks continued to hit the ground without inflicting any visible damage on the shield, he finally could no longer sit idly by, attempting to provoke the human into coming out with taunts.
However, a string of mocking words couldn’t shake the human, who looked at him as if watching a circus clown, igniting his anger like a bucket of oil poured over a flame, burning furiously, nearly engulfing his reasoning.
Being gazed upon by what he considered an utterly despicable insect, he completely lost the dignity and composure expected of a Divine Realm leader.
His fury sparked insults.
“Detestable human, should I break through your pathetic shield, I will ensure you endure the most excruciating torture and punishment!”
“Lowly, insignificant, a worm writhing in the mud dares to provoke a god?”
Yet, this failed to affect Ji Chen at all. Having experienced the chaotic baptism of the internet on Earth, these words even made him want to laugh.
The aggression leaves much to be desired.
This created a stark contrast. Within the dome-like semi-transparent shield, Ji Chen stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a mystical robe, exuding an extraordinary demeanor. His face was the picture of ease and poise, displaying the aura of a sovereign.
Meanwhile, the Divine Realm leader, high above in splendid armor and wielding a divine weapon, completely lacked any dignity, his face contorted in ugliness, cursing like a fishwife on the streets.
This led to a bewildering perception of which side truly belonged to the Divine Realm.
The perfect image of the Divine Realm’s citizens, embellished by countless tales and stories as if they were a superior race, began to crumble in the eyes of the onlookers, replaced by disbelief and enlightenment.
It turned out the so-called citizens of the Divine Realm were just like this, cursing in the streets, becoming angry like tantrum-throwing shrews, and not possessing the perfect virtues as the minstrels’ stories had portrayed..
