Dimension Game Empire Chapter 217

“This should be about right.”

Xia Yan stopped and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he revealed a satisfied smile.

This was the seventeenth floor of the dungeon.

The Goliath that originally guarded this floor had already been cleared out by other adventurers. And BOSS-level floor guardians like Goliath often took ten days to half a month for the dungeon to (yùnyù, breed).

Xia Yan didn’t encounter one this time.

“If I release my divine power here, it shouldn’t be noticed. Well, although it will anger the dungeon.”

The precepts of the gods.

If Xia Yan were to release the divine power within his body on the surface, the precepts that sense divine power would definitely pull him up to the heavenly realm. This ‘Great Divine Art’ doesn’t care whether you are a god or not, it will pull you away as soon as you use divine power.

If he were mistaken for a god and triggered the precepts of the gods, Xia Yan would have no ability to resist.

And in this world, the only thing that can contend against gods is the dungeon. This is a place that even gods are not allowed to enter. Once it detects the entry of a god, the dungeon will even give birth to mutated monsters.

In order to drive out the gods who invade their territory.

Xia Yan already knew this from the original work. However, he wasn’t too worried about this aspect. He was confident that he could defeat a mutated Goliath alone.

“Huff…”

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yan completely focused his attention on his body.

The divine power stored in the ‘Fruit of Life’ can be said to be an endless source, and it diminishes with each use. After all, Xia Yan himself does not have the ability to create divine power.

For experimental purposes, Xia Yan only drew out a small portion of the divine power. Having obtained Apollo’s knowledge of understanding divine power, Xia Yan awkwardly guided the divine power, leading this powerful energy into his body.

Apollo’s divine duties are the sun, the god of music, and also a god proficient in archery. Because of his superb archery skills, he was even crowned with some positions of the god of war.

Xia Yan was not sure whether the Apollo of this world was a god of war, but he did discover from the knowledge he had stolen that Apollo’s understanding of the use of divine power included a combat-oriented mode.

Xia Yan, who knew nothing about divine power, naturally followed Apollo’s combat mode, circulating the divine power to various parts of his body.

“——Dong!”

The sound of a violent heartbeat.

The core of this combat mode is to use the heart as an engine, circulating the divine power throughout the body with the flow of blood, using the divine power to replace the body’s strength as power, thereby obtaining powerful combat power.

He didn’t know what kind of reaction a god would have when entering this mode. But when Xia Yan manipulated the divine power to enter his heart, he indeed felt the heart’s discomfort and accelerated beating. If this continued for a long time, the heart might even be overloaded.

In the next moment, the divine power, along with the heart’s powerful throbbing, rushed throughout Xia Yan’s body with the blood.

“——Zheng.”

Divine power like silvery-white flames burst out from Xia Yan’s body, turning into air waves, covering Xia Yan’s entire body. Silvery-white light wrapped around Xia Yan’s body, boiling like flames.

However, with the unfolding of the ‘Combat Mode’, Xia Yan’s soul once again interpreted the relationship between god and apostle. Noticing the strengthening of divine power, the soul substance suddenly and automatically began to operate, pouring into Xia Yan’s mind.

The AT Field instantly entered a fully deployed mode.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

“Bang——”

The wind and waves, accompanied by this transformation, suddenly swept towards the surroundings, blowing away all the gravel and dirt on the ground.

Stopping the transformation, Xia Yan opened his hand, looked at the faint silvery-white glow attached to the surface of his skin, and the body filled with powerful power, couldn’t help but clench his fist and swung it towards the stone wall beside him.

Yes, just a casual swing.

“Boom——”

In the next moment, a rock block more than five meters high was hit by Xia Yan’s fist, and it shattered in a way that made people suspect it was like tofu dregs.

The shattered rocks were like they had been shattered by some strange force, splashing into the air and stirring up layers of wind and waves.

“This output is at least five times greater than before.”

Using divine power to replace his own physical strength as power, Xia Yan could feel that both the body’s output power and input power had reached an astonishing level.

It was like a family car being fitted with an engine from a racing car. He was not at the same level as his previous self at all.

Before Xia Yan could be happy about this power, the wind and waves blew across his cheeks, slightly disturbing his broken hair, shaking it in front of his eyes.

“What… what is this.”

Xia Yan saw the change in his hair and quickly pulled out the long sword from his waist, straightened the smooth blade, and saw his current appearance from it.

The silvery-white divine power glow, like fireflies, faintly adhered to Xia Yan’s entire body, strengthening his entire body. And his hair color had also inexplicably turned into the same silvery-white color as the divine power.

And because the AT Field was fully deployed, Xia Yan’s original crimson eyes had also turned golden.

If he was now wearing formal attire like a tailcoat from a dance party, showing such an elegant posture and temperament, and revealing a gentle smile. Anyone who looked at him would think that he was an aristocrat from some country.

However, Xia Yan’s mood was a bit subtle about this change in himself. It was like the mentality of someone who was dyeing their hair for the first time, that kind of discomfort.

Fortunately, this change was only temporary.

“Haha… Although my mood is a bit subtle, this power is really powerful.” Compared to this temporary change in appearance, Xia Yan cared more about the huge changes brought about by this power.

However, this mode is currently linked to Xia Yan’s Absolute Territory power and can only be used for a maximum of one minute.

After all, he was able to use this power that did not belong to him, but came from the gods, by relying on the Absolute Territory’s affinity for divine power.

“Since it’s about controlling the power of the gods, then let’s temporarily call it ‘God-Controlling Mode’?”

Xia Yan somewhat casually gave this mode a name, and excitedly clenched his fists, then released them again, repeating this, feeling his current power.

“How strong am I now?”

Just as Xia Yan said this sentence.

“Rumble————!”

The ground suddenly and without warning shook violently.

Xia Yan, who had already anticipated this reaction, smiled slightly and looked at the hall in front of him.

“Is it here? The dungeon’s anger.”

This question would naturally not be answered by anyone in this floor without a single person.

It’s just that the tremors in the ground are getting more and more intense.
