How can I get through this!? Lin Li was getting more and more anxious. He had a trump card, but it was not the right time to use it. It was not because he was afraid of others finding out, but because it was useless. The tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua was definitely Lin Li's trump card. With its ability to instantly release Legendary-level magic, there were few who were below the Sanctuary-realm that could be its match. However, if he released Xiao Hua now, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving the Whispering God a feast? Unless Xiao Hua had grown into a powerful existence like the Dragon of Dream, it wouldn't be a match for the Whispering God.
Although the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were powerful, they had the same problem as Xiao Hua. They could only become the mana source of the Whispering God. If he had the Stars of Fury, Lin Li believed that he could kill the Whispering God that was at the peak of the Legendary-level with the most ordinary arrow. But did he have it?
Lin Li suddenly felt strange when he thought about the Whispering God's strength. It seemed that the Whispering God had the strength of the Legendary-level when it came out. Now that it had devoured so much mana, how could it still be at the peak of the Legendary-level?
Lin Li clearly remembered the Whispering God that he had seen in the Endless World. That was the one that was truly worthy of the name Whispering God. That Whispering God had devoured mana to strengthen itself in the process of attacking the Stars City. It became stronger and stronger, and by the time the Stars City was destroyed, it had already become a Sanctuary-level existence. If not for one of the strongest NPCs in the Endless World, Paladin Francis, who was said to be a demigod, it would have caused a huge disaster to the Endless World.
The Whispering God in front of him was already at the peak of the Legendary-level. Now that so many Archmages from the four forces had lost all their mana, and so many Legendary-mages had lost their mana, it should have been able to reach the Sanctuary-level even if it had started from level-20. However, there was no movement in the mana wave of this Whispering God, as if it had not closed the gap to the Sanctuary-level at all.
This was definitely not normal!
This should be the only joyous discovery that Lin Li had made so far. However, this did not mean that they could successfully pass. Lin Li could not think of a way to deal with the Whispering God that was at the peak of the Legendary-level. If this continued, they would still be wiped out.
Raising the Helios' Scepter, Lin Li condensed the Light and Darkness Sword again, and slashed at the Whispering God in the pool. However, in fact, before the Light and Darkness Sword was condensed, Lin Li could already guess that the outcome of this blow would definitely be no different from the previous few times.
However, even though they knew that their attacks were futile, they couldn't stop. Continuing to attack might give them a sliver of hope, but stopping was no different from waiting for death. Everyone could feel that the expedition was slipping into the abyss. One by one, the Legendary-mages retreated from the battle because they could no longer support the loss of magic, and the people who were protecting the team became busier and busier. The only thing they could do was to constantly change the way they attacked, changing the attributes of their spells, changing the angle of their attacks, etc. They just couldn't stop.
It was the same for Lin Li. He continuously cast various magic spells and began to condense the Light and Darkness Sword without any reservation. This was already the most powerful attack he could use with his own strength so far. Even a wyrm at the peak of the Legendary-realm wouldn't be able to withstand a blow from the Light and Darkness Sword. However, the Whispering God was much more difficult to deal with than a wyrm.
The whispers and murmurs made by the Whispering God were like a different kind of Magical Domain. Any magic that was in this domain couldn't avoid the accelerated dissipation of mana. When the Light and Darkness Sword slashed down, it was already very impressive that it could retain one-tenth of its power. The Legendary-realm magic spells of the others had already dissipated without a trace before they could even touch the Whispering God's body.
With Lin Li's current strength at the peak of the Legendary-realm, even one-tenth of the power of the Light and Darkness Sword was much more powerful than when it tore apart Stephen's or Mephistos' Soul Domain. However, when such power struck the Whispering God's extremely tough body, it was like punching a rubber ball. It couldn't cause any substantial damage at all.
Currently, only Lin Li and Basel were still fighting the Whispering God from the Tower of Dusk, Hoffman and Thomas from the Glittergold Trade Union, and Joseph, Elvis, and Claus from the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family were left. However, apart from Lin Li who still seemed to be full of mana, everyone else looked fatigued. It was obvious that the loss of mana had a significant impact on them.
As for the Whispering God, its strength didn't change at all. While it was dealing with the attacks of Lin Li and the others, its countless tentacles were still continuously causing casualties to the team behind them. The whispers and murmurs that filled the incubation room didn't stop at all, and controlled more and more people's minds.
In order to prevent those who were controlled by the Whispering God from going out and courting death, a strange scene suddenly appeared in the team of the four major forces. Those Archmages who had extremely high statuses and were respected by others were now like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, tightly tied up by ropes. No one knew how they would feel when they woke up. Of course, they had to have a chance to wake up first.
The current situation had reached a very dangerous stage. Although the Whispering God only had one way to attack head-on, no one dared to underestimate the green tentacles that filled the sky. Everyone, including Lin Li, was in a sorry state under the siege of countless green tentacles.
"Damn it, what is this thing? Why isn't it dead yet!?" Joseph was about to go crazy, and he couldn't be bothered to maintain his composure anymore. This was simply the most disgusting battle he had ever experienced in his life, be it the battle scene or the appearance of the enemy. If he had a choice, he would rather face a true Sanctuary-level enemy, even if the outcome would still be defeat and death.
Joseph was so angry that he lost his composure, but no one commented on him at this time, because everyone else was also on the verge of vomiting blood. Claus had already thrown away the silver box in his hand. Although the form-mimicking magical bugs weren't destroyed like the Abyssal Demon Dragon, he knew that it was basically impossible for him to get them back.
On the Glittergold Trade Union's side, Thomas was also sweating profusely. He had to deal with the omnipresent tentacles and control the War God's Shadow at the same time. The pressure he was under was much greater than the others. Speaking of which, it was rather comical. Originally, both parties had used their trump cards to deal with the same enemy, but in the end, they canceled each other out. Fortunately, the War God's Shadow was holding back the form-mimicking magical bugs. Otherwise, the expedition would have been destroyed even faster.
"Felic, if this goes on, I'm afraid we're really going to be finished. Do you have no other way!?" Hoffman could only pin his hopes on Lin Li now. After all, he had gone through the Sky Castle and explored Osric's mausoleum.
Among everyone, Lin Li was the only one who looked rather calm. He didn't look as disheveled as the others, and his continuous attacks didn't seem to weaken at all. However, Lin Li knew that although he had almost infinite mana, it wasn't truly endless. He couldn't withstand the Whispering God's crazy devouring. If he couldn't get rid of the Whispering God as soon as possible, his mana would be completely devoured. Compared to the others, it was only a matter of time.
Until now, Lin Li still didn't understand why the Whispering God hadn't entered the Sanctuary-realm. It was like a bottomless bucket that couldn't be filled no matter how much water was poured into it. He was very clear that although the Whispering God had the word 'god' in its name, it actually didn't have any intelligence like those low-level creatures. It relied entirely on its body's instinct to devour mana to strengthen itself, and it wasn't something that it could control at all.
However, where did the massive amount of mana go!? After all, Lin Li was someone who had seen the gate to the Sanctuary-realm. Naturally, he knew that the mana that the Whispering God had devoured during this period of time was enough for it to advance to the Sanctuary-realm. However, if the mana wasn't used to strengthen itself, where did it go? It was obviously impossible for the mana to just flow around its body and then leak out. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be in such a disheveled state. Hence, there had to be a place where the mana was stored.
At the thought of the place where the mana was stored, Lin Li's gaze immediately fell on the pool where the Whispering God was. In the entire incubation room, the only place that hadn't been searched by the expedition was the pool. At first, he didn't care about it at all. Later on, he was a little confused by the Whispering God's appearance in this world. Only now did Lin Li realize why the Whispering God didn't leave the pool.
The expedition's current situation was getting worse, but Lin Li's thoughts gradually became clearer. Regardless of why the Whispering God of the Endless World would appear in Anril, since it had already appeared here, it definitely had something to do with the owner of this mausoleum, Prince Brahere. In that case, there had to be a reason why Prince Brahere placed such a monster in his mausoleum.
Thinking of the huge amount of mana that had gone missing, a thought suddenly flashed in Lin Li's mind. Could it be that Prince Brahere placed the Whispering God in his mausoleum to use it as a mana source? If that was the case, the Whispering God might have been personally cultivated by Brahere!
Damn it, what art master? What lifelong pursuit of art? He's simply a lunatic who's crazier than any High Elf! Lin Li was a little shocked by this guess. Was there anything crazier than cultivating a terrifying Whispering God and using it as a mana source? Even Highlord Osric, who was crazy enough to step into the realm of gods to create a perfect body, only used the magical crystal of an ancient Flame Dragon as a mana source in the Eternal Furnace.
Of course, this was just a guess, and might not really be that exaggerated. However, Lin Li couldn't think of anything else to explain the current problem. It seemed like he had to explore that pool! Lin Li didn't know what was in that pool. Maybe there was nothing, maybe it was the key to solving the problem, or maybe there was a hidden fatal danger. However, compared to the current situation, how bad could it be?
"Master Felic, I really shouldn't have let you participate in this matter!" Seeing that Lin Li didn't respond to him, Hoffman said with some guilt. Now that he said such words, it was obvious that he had no hope for the current situation.
Lin Li could hear the despair in Hoffman's voice, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he wasn't sure if he could solve the problem. He could only say, "Hold on a little longer, maybe there'll be a turn for the better."
"You have a solution!" It was just an uncertain sentence, but Hoffman seemed to have grasped onto a life-saving straw.
"I need you to hold this monster back for some time. As for whether it works or not, it depends on whether my guess is correct!" Lin Li didn't hesitate anymore. As he spoke, he took out a blue potion from the Ring of Endless Storm, opened the cork, and poured the potion into his mouth.
Lin Li's words weren't only directed at Hoffman. Everyone present could hear his voice, but it wasn't up to him to consider whether his words would reignite the hope of anyone. After Lin Li drank the potion, he didn't wait for Hoffman's response. He suddenly raised the Helios' Scepter, and countless black and white light spheres condensed around him. Then, as he pointed the Helios' Scepter, they shot towards the dense forest of tentacles of the Whispering God like a meteor.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Explosions sounded one after another. When the light spheres made of the fusion of Light and Darkness touched the tentacles of the Whispering God, the conflict between the two forces immediately erupted. The power was much stronger than the self-destruction of the Angels of Light and Dark. Although the power of the explosion wasn't enough to hurt the tenacious tentacles of the Whispering God, it was enough to send the tentacles flying in all directions. The explosion created a path in the forest of tentacles that led directly to the pool.
At this time, Hoffman and the others finally reacted to what Lin Li had said. This gave everyone a huge shock. One had to know that in the current battle with the Whispering God, the combat power of the others had already been greatly reduced. Only Lin Li was still in peak condition as usual, and it could be said that he had shouldered nearly half of the battle pressure. Even so, everyone was already feeling overwhelmed. If they didn't have Lin Li's powerful combat power, they were afraid that they would soon collapse under the attacks of the Whispering God.
