Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword - Chapter 242

After Bai had absorbed the God Sword, he not only had absorbed its faith becoming the God Sword. But he also broke the God Sword restrictions, his body being able to receive faith and in consequence Mayi.

In her fight against Bai and Fenrir in the mental world, her body was shredded by Fenrir who unconsciously absorbed some of the restricted faith of her, making Fenrir part of the Gluttony legacy. Both together being able to use the Gluttony power.

This divinity plus the Life aura invoked by Bai and Lingling’s encounter not only recover their form that was damaged when they sacrificed for Bai to use the forbidden Divine Soul Sword, but they even had an evolution.

Mayi’s race evolved to a Milion Cattied Ant Empress, the complete peak of the ants’ spirits that could almost call Ant Goddess. While Fenrir could finally control his absorption powers and the energy behind them, consolidating his body and even being able to ȧssume human form.

About the form of children that they took? Mayi liked to be the cute little sister of his big brother Bai and Fenrir, even if he won’t directly say and grumble about it, wanted to be closer to Mayi, his form following her.

However, without a physical body and only being pseudo spirit souls, even with their new evolutions, they were highly restricted. To unleash their divinity, they used themselves as transmitters, using Bai’s Oreo spirit as the conductor, transmitting their divinity and position to Bai, making him the next Gluttony God.

Bai could sense the strength running all over his body. His hair shortening and becoming pure black with his eyes. Thinking of resembling a little at Paul’s form, gave a small chuckle at Bai.

Unlike with his Sword God position that was completely new, Gluttony had a long history and experience behind. Divine energy ran across Bai’s body following a preset path, teaching him the use, power, techniques, and experiences of the Gluttony God.

Bai found himself with great luck as even his Godly Sword reacted. Thanks to his sword spirit main property being absorption, his comprehension about it was enormous. Gluttony in a sense was very similar, much more extreme, kind of absorption, making Bai’s sword which its base was Bai’s sword spirit, greatly compatible with the Gluttony’s divine energy, making it an almost perfect conductor.

It couldn’t compare with an ultra divine weapon specifically for the Gluttony God, but it was much better than a casual, even if specified, divine weapon.

With his new power and weapon, Bai would be able to face the God King but weaponless Renxue.

————————————————————————————————————–

Renxue was slowly blinking her eyes surprised, her mind running at full speed. Her attack being destroyed didn’t shock her. She didn’t exactly know the strange techniques or hidden strength of his rival and that wasn’t even she using all her strength. What surprised her was his change of aura. Over Renxue’s mind replayed her conversation with the previous Angel Goddess, the explanation of the God Sword.

————————————————————————————————————–

“Ning Bai is already taken by the False Sword God…”

“Who is the False Sword God?” Renxue asked.

“He is the immortal accumulation of countless sword souls during millions of years” Angel said “He is not good or evil as he is formed by too many minds to be able to be described by a sole word. The only thing that pushes him forward is becoming stronger. Accumulating even more swordmaster’s essence to do it. We cannot act against him as he never goes against the world order”

“Once someone is chosen, his destiny is fixed. He would never be able to absorb any faith, being impossible for him to become a god” Angel told.

“I will bring with me!” shouted Renxue with some hopes “He doesn’t need to be a god, I had the power of a God King, I will bring with me to the Divine Realm!”

“It is impossible” Angel looked at her with pity and sadness at her face “That false god goes against our divinity. That boy will not be able to leave his influence, never being able to cross the path over the Divine Realm, without mattering how strong is your divinity.”

“You tricked me!” Renxue shouted in tears “You always knew it, you used Bai for your own gain. You hid it from me to create the so important feelings for my advance. But so what?!” Renxue shouted angrily “You made me aware that I love him, only to know that I can’t be with him.” Renxue made a sad face “I know him, he won’t give up, he will continue forward to his end.”

Renxue clenched her hands in fury “I will get my vengeance for him.”

“Do not let yourself be blind by fury and grief” Angel tried to calm her “I hid it for your own good, but I will accept my fault. Once you ascend, I will accept any punishment that you see convenient” Angel said before disappearing.

“I will exterminate every swordmaster in the continent, forbidding even naming the word ‘sword’. I will make that faker suffer!” she said in fury.

————————————————————————————————————–

Renxue knew without any doubt, that in front of her was a god. The divine aura around Bai was unmistakable of a god, not like the one before where it was mixed with primal. The evilness from Bai’s aura should be from a 1st class Sin God, the hunger that could be sensed, making him the Gluttony God.

“How could it be possible?” Renxue slowly said with her mouth wide opened. “It could be?”

“Bai!!!!” For the first time in the fight, Renxue called Bai for his name.

Bai looked up towards Renxue a little shocked and confused. The holy around her had become much more powerful than before, but the furious look in her face had disappeared, being replaced by a beautiful smile, happiness in her voice.

“You’re Bai!” Renxue stated “You became a god”

He quickly realized that most probably Renxue’s misunderstanding about the God Sword had been solved. He didn’t know why but now Renxue seemed to trust him. Bai didn’t know how to react now “Of course, who do you take me for?” Finally, he answered with a smirk in a mocking tone.

“Of course” Renxue smiled even brighter “You won’t lose against that faker”

There was a moment of silence, any of them knowing how they should react now. Renxue’s fury had disappeared with her will to kill Bai, but they were in mid of war, each one in a different side, their fight possibly being able to decide the outcome. What they should do now, stop? Continue fighting?

“Bai” It was Renxue the first to break the silence “Do you remember what you asked me to do the first time we met?”

Bai thought about it, realizing Renxue’s intention “Rather than having a pleasant talk while drinking tea what will you say of a little spar?”

Renxue smiled at Bai remembering even the exact words from that day “Let’s finish this as we started. Let’s fight. Just like last time, the loser must do whatever the other says” Renxue’s wings extended, exuding a strong holy aura as she charmingly smiled “Of course, this time I won’t restrain myself!”

A grin appeared over Bai’s face “Bring it on!” Black aura exploding from his body.
