Chapter 1080: Iris's Astonishing Transformation (2)
Even the others in the other room were stunned. The Prismerion Divine Apostles couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Truly a Divine Skill!
How could a Divine Apostle Crest be so easily defeated?
Selene nodded approvingly at the astonishing scene, glancing at the stunned Orion. She was pleased that the Divine Apostles were now proving themselves capable of standing toe-to- toe with the warriors and, in the future, possessing the ability to protect Paradise. Seraphina and the other leaders of the Healers' Association observed with keen interest. They were eager to see how powerful Iris had become and how her body managed to withstand such a massive surge of divine energy. They were curious about how long she could maintain this form.
Outside the room, Iris stepped forward, vanishing from her position. She reappeared before Kaslaya, her fist clenched and poised to strike at her stomach.
Kaslaya's eyes narrowed to slits as she realized she couldn't track Iris's swift movement. As a warrior with the gift of hardening her body to various degrees, which she utilized for a range of attacks, all of her Vylkr containers were located in her brain, allowing her to analyze and comprehend the battle efficiently, making her a formidable opponent.
However, Iris's current speed was too much for her to keep up with. In a split-second decision, Kaslaya leapt to the side, instantly widening the distance between them.
Though Kaslaya's speed had increased with her rising energy level, Iris was still faster.
In an instant, Iris appeared behind her midair again, her fist clenched, ready to deliver a deadly blow.
Realizing she couldn't dodge this attack, Kaslaya clenched her teeth and swiftly activated her gift, causing her dark skin to harden and take on a crystalized translucent hue. She turned around midair and crossed her arms defensively. Though her gift allowed her to negate damages from attacks, she wasn't willing to take any chances.
"I hope you can handle my attacks as you said you could!" Iris called out, swinging her fist.
BOOM!!
BANG!!
Kaslaya shot towards the ground like an arrow, carving a deep crater and sending a gust of smoke billowing into the sky.
Iris landed gently on the ground and surveyed Kaslaya's unconscious figure before gazing at the room bulging out of the ceiling. "I won," she said with a smile.
Though her voice was soft, her words reverberated through the vast room, reaching even the bulging room above.
In the other room,
Orion and the rest of the leaders were impressed by Iris's abilities. They acknowledged the astronomical improvements compared to before.
Seth and Zogar were the most ecstatic. They knew that with time, the Prismerion Divine Apostles could potentially match the strength of a five-star warrior, providing them with numerous sparring partners in the future. They were also looking forward to whether they were capable of surpassing them.
"When the proper time arises, the Four-eared Elves will guide you on connecting with the spirit realm so you can acquire more spirit beast essence to grow stronger and aid Paradise. For now, you should prepare yourselves and become familiar with the Four-eared Elves to ease your integration," Orion advised, addressing the Prismerion Divine Apostles.
He noted that they mostly kept to themselves, polishing their skills or training with other warriors only when necessary. It's best if they try to become acquainted with the Four-eared Elves.
The Prismerion Divine Apostles nodded in understanding. They were prepared to go through whatever feasible way it took to uncover the secrets behind the Divine Apostle crests.
After discussing and dealing with several other matters, the Key Leaders, Healers' Association Leaders, and Divine Apostles dispersed Seraphina and escorted Orion out of the Research Center.
"We have done all we can to understand how the Vylkr energy was diluted and have concluded that we need to observe the process ourselves or have a guide on how it was carried out to replicate. The only improvement we can make is to slightly streamline the Devourer Bracelet. However, considering the need to craft each component individually and the cost and time required for my healers to operate on them, it's best to leave these changes to a few trusted individuals who are fully loyal to Paradise and have demonstrated tremendous effort."
"We have improved the Gearweavers and Devourer bracelets' storage capacity to hold more vials and increased their diluted Vylkr energy release capacity. Further safety measures have been implemented to ensure that the gods' chosens do not overclock their Devourer Bracelets or suffer from burnout with their Gearweavers," Seraphina explained, her tone serious as though addressing the highest-ranking Key Leader in Paradise rather than her husband. She paused to let her words sink in, then added, "I'll inform you if anything else arises."
Orion nodded silently.
They soon arrived outside the Research Center. After bidding Seraphina goodbye, Orion soared into the sky and summoned the Crimson Greatsword to explain everything that had transpired to Aerialia.
Aerialia wore a proud expression. "If I were alive and they had my blessings, they would be many times stronger than they are now," she said, a tinge of irritation in her voice.
With Ilse's presence, they could also create Divine Apostles the proper way. Aerialia realized that once this happened, her Divine Apostles would become the weakest, only second to Ilse's
own.
She grew increasingly eager for Ilse to become stronger so that she could help her rebuild her body or venture into the world to find the ingredients needed for its reconstruction. However, Aerialia knew that neither of these tasks was easy.
Observing Aerialia's expression, Orion exhaled internally. Although he could not directly sense her thoughts, he could tell it was troublesome.
One Week Later
Orion carried Grace on his shoulders as he stood with Patriarch Rylan, Isadora, Lyndon, the Four-eared Elves' gods' chosens, and the Prismerion Divine Apostles.
Before them was an assembly of Four-eared elves, all handling various construction equipment, cutting down trees into smaller pieces to create homes atop taller trees and on the ground. They worked with incredible synergy, applying their experience in building the Fourth Border City to construct their new area of residence.
Meanwhile, several tree nymphs were also present, with Dariya leading the task.
