Chapter 3697 Repair
Taking this opportunity, Fang Heng released his senses and carefully captured the fluctuations in aura emanating from the god-level deity.
The power of divinity...
interesting.
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself.
During the process of divine power merging into the statue, he keenly sensed a special fusion force.
This force seems to be able to combine different attributes together.
The three forces of holiness, the dead, and hell seem to have been merged in a similar way.
However, this integration is not yet perfect.
As the cracks on the surface of the deity statue healed one by one, the oppressive aura emanating from it grew stronger and stronger.
The two enormous cracks were visibly shrinking!
It lasted for a full ten minutes, until the last tiny crack was completely healed, and the entire statue of the deity suddenly burst out with a dazzling blue light!
An immense pressure surged from the statue, forming an invisible ripple that spread outwards. Several high-ranking priests with slightly weaker mental strength standing behind it were impacted by the pressure, and their legs went weak. They immediately knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
Xavier stared at the restored statue of the god, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints, his lips trembling slightly as he whispered, "We did it... Island Lord, we did it!"
Regin stared at the deity, his face filled with horror.
When he first heard Lyanna confidently guarantee that she could restore the statue of the god, he thought it was a bit of a fantasy.
I was just trying it out.
Surprisingly, it actually worked!
And it only took ten minutes in total!
I thought this level of repair would take at least a few days, and there was always the possibility of various problems arising along the way...
After a brief moment of shock, Regin quickly regained his senses.
He turned his head without making a sound and glanced discreetly at the two trusted confidants beside him.
The two trusted priests immediately understood and, together with the priests around them, released a barrier spell.
A light blue barrier instantly rose up, completely sealing off the area around the deity statue and isolating Fang Heng and Lyanna from the area.
Lyanna frowned, about to speak, but Fang Heng raised his hand to stop her.
"You two have worked hard. I need to check the deity statue first."
As he spoke, Rejin took a deep breath and gestured for the believers to use hooks to lift the statue of the deity and place it beside the icy spring. He then personally entered the defensive barrier and walked up to the statue, scrutinizing it inch by inch.
The divine power circulated smoothly.
The cracks have completely disappeared.
No abnormal energy residue was found, nor were there any signs of tampering.
Become!
The repairs went much better than he expected!
Lei Jin was overjoyed.
No! We can't be too happy yet.
Lei Jin secretly suppressed his excitement.
He knew all too well what kind of people the owners of the other two main islands were.
If they find out that the Tide of Eternal Night possesses a perfectly preserved god-level statue, those guys will definitely be envious.
At that time, they will definitely find all sorts of high-sounding excuses to exert pressure and demand a redistribution of control over the statue.
They might even turn on you and seize the goods after defeating the false gods' followers.
This statue must be firmly in our grasp!
"The repair was perfect."
In a short moment, Regin had already come up with a solution. He turned his back, a warm smile on his face, and slowly cupped his hands towards Fang Heng and Lyanna.
"You two are truly amazing craftsmen; I will forever remember this friendship."
Lei Jin spoke sincerely and adopted a humble attitude, even treating Fang Heng, his "assistant," with the same courtesy.
Fang Heng remained calm and did not speak.
Perhaps because of the demonic seed within him, he could clearly sense the burning greed in Lei Jin's heart.
“However—” Rekin changed the subject, “The deity statue has just been repaired, and for safety’s sake, we need to conduct a full inspection of it, which will take some time.”
“The two of you must have expended a great deal of energy repairing the statues of the gods. Colin, go and arrange the best rooms on the island so that Lyanna and this gentleman can get some rest.”
"Yes!"
Lyanna frowned slightly and said, "Island Lord, although the deity statue has been restored, it still needs to be awakened before it can be used in battle. The situation at the front is critical..."
“With a formidable enemy at hand, this matter requires careful consideration.” Lei Jin raised his hand to interrupt her, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Acting hastily is more likely to lead to mistakes. I will discuss the specific arrangements with the other two main islands before making a decision. You two can rest assured and I will inform you as soon as I have any news.”
Lyanna wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Fang Heng's gaze from the side.
Lyanna swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Thank you, Island Master, we understand."
Fang Heng nodded politely to Lei Jin and left the Frosty Ice Spring Cave with the priest along with Lyanna.
As Lei Jin watched the two figures disappear at the end of the cave passage, the smile on his face gradually faded.
Xavier suddenly felt something was off.
Judging from Lyanna's attitude towards that assistant, it feels like Lyanna is the one who's the assistant.
Soon, the people around dispersed.
Only Xavier and Regin remained inside the cave.
Regin stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the perfectly restored statue of the divine deity. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, saying, "Xavier, what are the chances that the allied forces have of defeating that false god?"
Xavier thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Island Lord, I dare not speak presumptuously."
"to be honest."
"Ninety percent."
“Ninety percent…” Lei Jin muttered to himself, “That’s enough.”
Xavier's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Island Lord, do you mean...?"
“Xavier, the Eternal Night Tide is outwardly sending a regular force to support the Allied forces at the front as usual.” Regin slowly turned around, his gaze deep. “But the real elites are all left on the island. And, most importantly, not a single word about the completion of the restoration of the deity statue can be revealed.”
Xavier's pupils contracted slightly.
He wasn't stupid; upon hearing the island lord's arrangements, cold sweat immediately streamed down his back.
"The island lord is wise!"
Xavier lowered his voice and quickened his pace, "We've been holding back some of our strength in the battle between the Allied Forces and the False God. If the Allied Forces win, we won't need to use the divine statues at all. We'll have preserved our trump card and won't suffer any additional losses. But if the Allied Forces lose..."
“Heh, it’s better if we lose.” Reijin picked up the conversation, his voice very soft, almost as if he were talking to himself. “The elite forces of the other two main islands have been wiped out. The Eternal Night Tide will step in with the statue of a god-level deity to clean up the mess and repel the false god. At that time, we will have the final say on all three main islands.”
Xavier took a deep breath and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Understood! I will make the arrangements immediately."
“Well, you’ll have to find the right balance.” Lei Jin said, waving his hand. “Go ahead. Also, keep a close eye on those two. Remember, the fact that the god-level deity statue has been repaired must not be leaked to anyone.”
"Yes!" (End of Chapter)
