Chapter 922: Chapter 922: Is That Mortal Deceiving Me?

"Thankfully, I diverted the power at the crucial moment, otherwise we would have been done for," he said.

The silver-haired man looked up at the sky, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

The sky, once filled with white clouds, had now turned a deep blue.

The dense clouds had been completely swept away by the powers of both parties.

Now, the cloudless sky was azure and clear, resembling a piece of jade.

"You... you..."

Xu Yourong’s figure gradually emerged from the snow.

Her face was pale, and she was barely able to breathe, even standing seemed to require effort.

The divine power she had just absorbed had not been fully mastered, and the absolute zero she had forcefully released had consumed her unprecedentedly.

At this moment, the divine power within her was less than one tenth of its capacity.

The silver-haired man stood up, took a deep breath, and a mesmerizing glow surged around him, dispelling the intense chill.

"Ice and Snow Goddess, your power is exhausted. Just surrender quietly."

The others slowly approached, moving closer to Xu Yourong.

Facing their encirclement, Xu Yourong naturally was not willing to fail like this.

"You think capturing a deity is easy? Think again!"

Xu Yourong growled, and a faint blue glow emerged around her body.

However, her power was nearly exhausted, and the divine power she released this time posed no threat to the God Hunter Squad.

The silver-haired man didn’t even bother to reposition himself; he simply punched, shattering the divine power Xu Yourong had released.

As her last resistance failed, the group surrounded Xu Yourong completely.

"Restrict her," the silver-haired man ordered, and the red-haired woman and the black-haired woman made their move simultaneously.

Weapons pierced through Xu Yourong’s collarbone, and the mesmerizing glow directly interrupted the flow of divine power that was still attempting to circulate within her.

Thump!

A sense of emptiness surged within Xu Yourong, her legs weakened, and she fell straight to the ground.

"Prepare to extract the Divine Power Origin."

The fat man and the skinny man stepped forward, took out a new stone from their embrace, and placed it on the ground.

They cut their wrists; blood drenched the stone, eliciting a mesmerizing glow.

This glow, as if alive, slowly spread toward Xu Yourong, enveloping her.

The silver-haired man stood behind Xu Yourong, placing one hand on her head, a gleam of sharp light flickering in his eyes.

"Ice and Snow Goddess, you... lost," he said.

As his words fell, a mesmerizing light surged from his palm, pouring into Xu Yourong.

"Um!"

Xu Yourong’s eyes widened, and a muffled groan escaped her lips.

She could keenly feel that upon entering her body, this power was frantically rushing toward her Divine Power Origin.

The Divine Power Origin was like a human soul, representing the very existence of a deity.

Deities are born immortal; even if their physical bodies are destroyed, as long as the Divine Power Origin remains, they can reincarnate or recast their physical forms.

But if the Divine Power Origin is destroyed, it means the death of that generation of deity.

The next generation of deities would only be reborn after who knows how many years.

"You think you can kill a deity... Impossible!"

Xu Yourong gritted her teeth, attempting to activate her divine power to resist this eroding force.

But no matter how she tried, the divine power seemed to have fallen into silence, unresponsive.

"Stop trying to resist; you can’t fend this off now," the silver-haired man said with a cold laugh, noticing Xu Yourong’s actions.

"This power, merged from all the deities that have died in the past, will invade your body, quickly locate your Divine Power Origin, and imprison your divine power," he explained.

"Right now, you are just fish on the chopping block, completely at our mercy!"

The deities of the past had all been killed by them using this method; occasionally some deities escaped, but that was before the power had entered their bodies.

Once this power enters the body, no deity whatsoever can resist.

"Pretty lady, just give in to us," the red-haired woman said, holding a short dagger, her face once again breaking into a seductive smile.

Yet, those captivating eyes held no trace of emotion.

Xu Yourong tried various methods but was unable to mobilize the divine power within her, and despair began to rise in her heart.

As a deity, was she really going to die in such a humiliating way?

Just then, a man’s voice suddenly emerged in her mind.

"If you’re in danger, crush the Jade Pendant, and I’ll be there immediately."

Xu Yourong bit her lip, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and her right hand rubbed together.

The Jade Pendant she had put away appeared in the palm of her hand.

The others noticed this scene and instinctively moved to intervene.

But they saw Xu Yourong squeeze her fingers, crushing the Jade Pendant directly.

"Be careful! It might be her last resort," the silver-haired man exclaimed, becoming alert and instinctively scanning the surroundings.

However, after the Jade Pendant was crushed, there was no response at all.

"There’s nothing? What’s going on?" the fat man scratched his head, puzzled.

The skinny man shook his head: "Not sure, deities are strange, always doing things we don’t understand," he noted.

Seeing that nothing happened, the silver-haired man relaxed slightly and continued to control the power probing Xu Yourong’s Divine Power Origin.

"Hurry up. After dealing with her, we still have the next one," he said.

The light in Xu Yourong’s eyes gradually faded, and the hope brought by the Jade Pendant sank as well.

Indeed... was that mortal deceiving me?
