Shut Up, Young Lady, Obediently Hand Over The Money And Don't Confess!-Chapter 417 : Do You Have Any Reliable Teammates Around You?

Felyn saw it clearly. Herlomir, through her red divine chain, had copied the power of Order and converted it for her own use.
In an instant, two completely identical streaks of destructive light appeared in the sky, even the divine art patterns on the edges were exactly the same.
The moment the two beams of divine punishment light collided in mid-air, the entire world seemed to have its mute button pressed.
The two blue streaks of light were compressed to their limit, then began to expand rapidly.
The shockwave tore through the clouds, carving a vortex several kilometers in diameter in the sky.
Seeing her attack was ineffective, the Saintess's expression only flashed with a moment of surprise before a second divine art surged along the divine chain.
The power of Order once again appeared in the divine chain, transmitting energy to the Saintess.
But this time, Herlomir did not intend to let the Saintess activate the divine art.
The Saintess's blue divine chain was now fused with Herlomir's red divine chain. When the power transmitted from the Goddess of Order passed through the red and blue fused section, Felyn could clearly see the light of the energy cluster slowly weaken, and its volume seemed to have shrunk considerably.
And what the Saintess released this time was no longer the god-like power that could destroy the heavens and the earth, but just a very ordinary fourth-tier divine art.
Felyn quickly understood the reason for this, but he found it somewhat hard to believe.
The divine power transmitted in the divine chain had been modified by Herlomir.
In other words—tampering.
So far, Herlomir had released two types of attacks.
One was copying, which could replicate the opponent's divine art for her own use.
The other was tampering, which could directly modify the opponent's divine chain, causing their divine art to change.
But just these two were enough to subvert the entire world.
Divine arts were regarded as the grace of the gods, a ritual that could only be used by people who believed in the gods with extreme piety.
But such a sacred divine art was being freely copied and tampered with under Herlomir's power.
No wonder all the divine church had united to exterminate Herlomir's followers back then, to erase all records of Herlomir from the world.
This power could no longer be measured by strength; it was a power that existed outside the rules.
The Saintess watched as her fourth-tier sigil was dodged by Herlomir with a sideways step, her brow furrowing once again.
The Saintess did not possess all the memories and consciousness of a god, so she couldn't figure out what was happening.
But she was clear about one thing: relying on her own power, she could no longer completely obliterate the red twin-tailed god in front of her.
In that case...
Chaos and destruction were right before her eyes; the glory of Order would not be tarnished by any person or god.
The Saintess's brow furrowed tightly, her expression beginning to turn painful.
She bit her lip hard, and a red line of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Felyn saw that it wasn't just one divine chain on the Saintess's body now, but a second one had appeared.
The second divine chain also connected her and Order, which meant she was going to use two divine arts at the same time.
The number of divine chains continued to increase. A moment later, five divine chains appeared on the Saintess's body simultaneously.
Felyn was somewhat surprised. Could the Saintess actually activate five divine arts at the same time?
A normal person could only release one divine art at a time, but the Saintess clearly ignored this shackle.
The pained expression on the Saintess's face and the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth also indicated that her body was under immense pressure.
Herlomir behind him clearly hadn't expected someone to be able to use five divine arts at once. It was a bit too late for her to exert her power now.
This was Herlomir's weakness; she could only copy and tamper with one divine chain.
Because almost no one in this world could possess two divine chains at the same time, no one could release two divine arts at the same time.
This was a bit troublesome.
Herlomir sighed softly, her gaze no longer on the Saintess, but turning to Felyn.
Because Felyn was the only person in the world who knew the reason for Herlomir, Herlomir's power had become very weak. So weak that Felyn couldn't even hear the words she spoke to him.
She seemed to have something else she wanted to say to Felyn, but there was no chance now.
Gods could not be killed; they would only fall into a deep sleep.
She would have to wait until the next time she met Felyn to tell him these important things.
She just didn't know when that would be.
Just as Herlomir was thinking this, she found that the surrounding clouds had stopped moving.
The previously accelerated clouds were now fixed in the air, and the light emitted by the sun also seemed to have stopped moving.
The world had been frozen in silence.
Herlomir watched as Felyn beside her and the Saintess opposite her both paused their movements. The five divine chains on the Saintess's body were also frozen in the air, no longer emitting a dazzling light.
Herlomir, I want to make a deal with you.
In such a frozen world, there was only one who could speak.
That was Order.
You are not permitted by Order. You should not exist in this world.
But she is the most outstanding human I have ever seen, the most brilliant Saintess in the history of the  Church of Order.
She wants to stop you at the cost of her life. I am unwilling to see this happen.
Therefore, I want to make a deal with you.
Felyn felt as if he had just lost his senses, a part of his memory temporarily missing.
When he came to, he saw that everything around him was frozen.
The Saintess in the distance was frozen in place, the bloodstain at the corner of her mouth adding a tragic beauty to her flawless face.
Although Felyn still couldn't see the Saintess's eyes, he knew that under that black cloth must be a pair of soul-stirring eyes.
"The first thing you do when you wake up is to look at a beautiful girl?"
A girl's voice suddenly sounded in the absolutely quiet world, making Felyn involuntarily take a few steps back.
Red twin-tails appeared before his eyes, bobbing up and down a few times.
"You can't do naughty things, okay? As my believer, you still have to obediently destroy the world."
Felyn still couldn't see Herlomir's eyes, but he could hear the god's voice.
The god's voice was no different from an ordinary girl's. Felyn didn't burst into tears upon hearing the god's voice.
It was just that the voice, with a hint of gentleness, had just spoken terrifying words.
Destroy the world?
Me?
According to the script, shouldn't you be patting my shoulder and then saying that the world is in a great crisis, and only I can save it?
"Did you see my move just now? It's like this, and then like that, and it's done," Herlomir said to herself. She didn't have much time left.
No one knew about the deal she had just made with the Saintess of Order, and she didn't want to say.
"It's copying and tampering with the opponent's divine chain, right? I saw it clearly."
Herlomir nodded with satisfaction, a faint smile appearing on her lips. "Mhm! That's roughly the meaning. The term 'divine chain' is also quite accurate."
She combed her ponytail with her hand, just like an ordinary girl.
"However, you can't use my power like this at the moment. It was possible a few hundred years ago. At that time, I had many believers, and my power was very strong. But now... you're the only one in this world who still remembers me."
She leaned closer to Felyn, curiously poking him, "Although I really want to ask you why you know of my existence, there's not much time now."
"To make a long story short, with my current ability, you can only copy and tamper with your teammates' divine chains. You can't use it on enemies who are vigilant and on guard."
"Only when your teammates voluntarily let down their guard and hand over their divine chains to you can you copy and tamper with them."
"But this power is still quite strong for you. You can copy your teammate's divine art and attack the opponent together with your teammate. Or you can tamper with your teammate's divine chain to let them release an even stronger divine art."
Herlomir looked at Felyn's face, sizing him up.
"Speaking of which, do you have any strong teammates with whom you have a good relationship?"
