BXBX NOVEL Chapter499-Power Rivaling the Gods
However, before Shatras could utter a word, Nald had already opened the Book of the Astral Realm. As the book was opened, everyone in the Naga Tribe felt an overwhelmingly powerful force.
In an instant, they were all subjected to a massive mental shock. Even the Naga Queen and the Mystery Protector couldn\'t immediately regain their composure.
"You are merely insects, unworthy of battling me! The only ones who deserve to fight me are those so-called deities! I want everyone to know that my power surpasses even theirs! One might even say that I am the most powerful deity of all!"
As Nald spoke these words, his expression was one of utter madness. It was evident to everyone that he had been completely overtaken by the power of the Book of the Astral Realm.
Alternatively, it was Nald\'s madness that allowed the full potential of the Book of the Astral Realm to be unleashed.
Nald chose not to linger within the Naga Tribe, as he deemed every being there as insignificant insects, unworthy of battling him. Using the power of the Book of the Astral Realm, he immediately transported himself to the battlefield of the gods. Upon Nald\'s arrival, Sea God, John, and the Mystery Saint all sensed a threat.
Both the Sea God and the Mystery Saint were well-acquainted with the Book of the Astral Realm. They had never imagined that the book would appear there. John, having limited knowledge about the Book of the Astral Realm, realized that if Nald, armed with the book, dared to battle them, it must be extremely powerful.
"You so-called deities are no longer fit to command me! I will transform all your powers into my own! I am the truly greatest deity in the truest sense!" Nald declared, his tone bordering on insanity. His eyes were bloodshot, and John could see that Nald possessed immensely powerful abilities of various attributes.
Whether it was the power of Holy Light or the power of Mystery, all were present in Nald, and such an immense convergence of power in one individual would naturally lead to madness.
Although Nald was insane, his strength in this state, especially with the support of the Book of the Astral Realm, was incredibly formidable. His mastery of spatial magic had vastly surpassed his previous capabilities.
Nald immediately cast a sealing spell, encapsulating both the Sea God and the Mystery Saint within it. He was resolute in his decision to eliminate John first.
"When did I ever offend you? You should be thanking me. Without my intervention, you would never have escaped from the Mystery Saint\'s Abyssal Illusion. How can you be so ungrateful as to target me first?!" John was incredibly angry with Nald\'s actions. He felt that he had helped Nald in the past.
Despite some conflicts between them within the Abyssal Illusion, John believed that without his assistance, Nald would not have been able to escape. However, John\'s words fell on deaf ears, as Nald had completely lost his sanity. The immense power had robbed him of his ability to think rationally.
"All your power is mine! All power belongs to me! I am the only and greatest deity, the god of power!" As Nald hurled numerous spatial spells towards John, he shouted maniacally. His mind was now consumed with the sole thought of acquiring more power.
Any other thoughts were no longer capable of surfacing in Nald\'s mind. The Book of the Astral Realm had effectively assimilated his brain into itself.
Faced with Nald\'s assault, John found it extremely difficult to cope. Nald\'s strength, bolstered by the Book of the Astral Realm, had grown immensely. Furthermore, the book itself possessed powerful control over spatial realms. The Book of the Astral Realm could seal any entity, and in fact, the seals in the Great Library were set by this very book.
"Do you really think that just by obtaining the Book of the Astral Realm, you can defeat me?! My strength is not as feeble as you think. I still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
After successfully dodging Nald\'s attack, John chose to counterattack. His strategy was to somehow snatch the Book of the Astral Realm from Nald\'s grasp. In John\'s view, taking away the book would strip Nald of the strength to confront him head-on, and he could also use the book to eliminate the Mystery Saint.
However, as the battle progressed, John realized that his plan was too simplistic. With the aid of the Book of the Astral Realm, Nald could evade all of John\'s attacks, while John couldn\'t dodge the spells cast by Nald. As time passed, John gradually started to lose ground.
Just as John was about to be overwhelmed, the Sea God finally broke through the seal set by Nald. Concentrating all his power, the Sea God rapidly closed in on Nald.
An endless surge of water elements formed a tsunami with destructive power, capable of causing immense devastation even in the depths of the sea.
Confronted with such a formidable tsunami, Nald\'s expression remained unchanged, displaying neither fear nor concern. He raised the Book of the Astral Realm in his hand, and with the dispersion of its power, the powerful offensive spell deployed by the Sea God was dissolved into nothingness.
"Do you still not comprehend the extent of my power? Do you really think such methods can defeat me?! I must tell you now, my power rivals that of the gods!"
After neutralizing the Sea God\'s attack, Nald appeared extremely pleased. Previously, he had only believed his power was close to that of the gods, but now he had proven it.
Faced with Nald\'s immense power, John felt a significant sense of crisis for the first time. He feared that he might not emerge unscathed from this battle.
Therefore, John immediately transferred all the scrolls from his backpack into a separate storage box using the game system. By placing the scrolls and weapons he carried into the storage, they would remain safe from any loss, even if he was defeated by an NPC.
While performing these actions, John continuously coordinated with the Sea God. Although the Mystery Saint also desired to eliminate John, he considered getting rid of Nald as a more pressing matter.
10:45
Upon breaking the seal, the Mystery Saint immediately deployed the Mystery Barrier, a shield composed entirely of Mystery Power, segregating Nald and John within an enclosed space.
With the combined efforts of John and the Sea God, Nald\'s attacks failed to achieve quick results.
Nald, facing this situation, seemed immensely angered and once again let out a roar: "Stop playing hide and seek with me! You\'re just wasting time. You have no chance of defeating me!"
In response to Nald\'s words, John\'s expression remained unchanged. He knew that Nald was just trying to provoke him. When facing an opponent stronger than himself, John was absolutely unwilling to engage in a head-on confrontation. He was still pondering if there was a perfect solution to the situation.
As the battle between Nald, John, and the Sea God raged on, the projection of the Mystery Saint finally broke through Nald\'s seal.
The mood of the Mystery Saint\'s projection was extremely foul.
The Mystery Saint originally thought he had successfully controlled Nald and never expected Nald to betray him after obtaining the Book of the Astral Realm. Although the Mystery Saint also desired to eliminate John, he considered getting rid of Nald as a more pressing matter.
Upon breaking the seal, the Mystery Saint immediately deployed the Mystery Barrier, a shield composed entirely of Mystery Power, segregating Nald and John within an enclosed space.
John was naturally infuriated by this turn of events, believing that the Mystery Saint was trying to use him as a pawn. If John couldn\'t escape from the seal quickly, Nald might use the power of the Book of the Astral Realm to eliminate him first.
Nald, also trapped in the enclosed space, was not as composed as John. In his state of extreme madness and loss of rationality, he didn\'t choose to eliminate John first. Instead, Nald decided to use the power of the Book of the Astral Realm to break through the seal set by the Mystery Saint!
