Chapter 522 Bright Yellow Lightning
Not to mention the little fanboy Kong's inexplicable confidence in his older brother.
Xu Ning stood outside the Zen Garden, gazing at the thunderclouds filling the sky, lost in thought.
Just moments before that bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, was about to strike, Xu Ning undoubtedly felt a little scared.
After all, the fear of lightning is a dread inherent in the genes of all living beings with flesh and blood.
Therefore, Xu Ning's first thought was to take out the Blade of the Peak and use the "Golden Imperial Supreme" shield to take the hit head-on.
However, in the instant the lightning struck, Xu Ning clearly felt the activity of the Thunder God's Heart within his Hidden Cave Heaven.
It's like sisters who have been separated for a long time suddenly meeting and can't help but want to go up and cuddle first.
So Xu Ning naturally stood still, and the Heart of the Thunder God did not disappoint him, directly drawing the lightning bolt to the "Thousand Birds Wine Spring" in the Hidden Dust Cave, where it was swallowed by the dragon head.
Moreover, after absorbing that bolt of lightning, Xu Ning felt that his Thunder God Heart had also undergone some changes.
The originally vibrant purple lightning seemed to change its nature upon encountering this bolt of lightning, transforming into a warm, yellow electric light.
Even the lightning elemental body sitting by the Thousand Birds Wine Spring instantly transformed into a bright yellow light body.
The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to sense the change in Xu Ning, and for a moment even the thunder ceased, as if the thunderclouds were pondering something.
Then Lei Yun did not launch another attack on Xu Ning, but instead dispersed without warning.
Seeing that the sky outside had cleared up, Sora and Paimon ran out together.
"Brother Xu, how did you do that just now? Was it Qingyi's ability?"
Kong asked with some curiosity.
Xu Ning shook his head, turned to Kong and asked, "Kong, switch to lightning attribute, and then condense the lightning element in your palm."
Although Kong didn't know what Xu Ning meant, he nodded seriously and instantly switched his grass attribute to lightning attribute, and the wristbands he was wearing on both hands emitted a purple light.
As he used the lightning element, a ball of purple lightning instantly condensed in his palm.
Xu Ning turned and walked about ten steps away, then focused his mind and condensed his lightning element, and bright yellow lightning bolts gathered in his hands.
Paimon looked at the two hands, which were completely different colors but both contained the destructive power of lightning, and suddenly seemed to remember something and said "Eh".
"Isn't this the mutated slime we saw in the Inazuma Wasteland?"
Before Paimon could finish speaking, the lightning orbs in Xu Ning and Kong's hands released two streams of electricity, which snapped together in the void.
The two bolts of lightning converged at an extremely fast speed, almost exceeding the speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, as the two bolts of lightning intertwined, they seemed to unleash a power even stronger than the original single-attribute lightning.
Xu Ning, like Paimon, naturally thought of that strange slime.
He had also seen those mutated slimes, whose entire bodies were crackling with electricity like the sun, shining with a bright yellow light, and which led the other purple lightning slimes like a leader.
The electric current on its body is also released from time to time, and it exchanges current with the surrounding purple lightning slimes. This makes the electric net released by the slime group with the bright yellow lightning slime as the core often faster and more powerful in battle.
However, he had not noticed anything unusual about the Thunder God's Heart on his body. He remembered what Yae no Miko had said: Inazuma's Thunder Gods were twin sisters, so naturally there were two Thunder God's Hearts as well.
Judging from the color of the Thor's Heart that is currently manifesting on my body, I'm afraid I'm holding the Heart of the former Thor—the real Thor.
After all, the lightning in the current Thor movie is a real purple radiance.
"How should I put it? No wonder he's known as the benevolent thunder god who can't fight! I've always felt that the heart of god I obtained was a bit weak, but now it seems I was wrong. Maybe it's just that the heart of god I obtained isn't good at fighting. Otherwise, look at that guy in the skirmisher's purple heart of god. It even changed the celestial phenomena a hundred miles away and could summon such thick lightning bolts to play with!"
As for the Heart of the Wind God and the Heart of the Rock God that he obtained, they did not seem to be very strong. Xu Ning could only conclude that the two gods still existed in this world, and most of their divine power was probably still tied to their physical bodies. It was natural that he could not use them all.
"Brother Xu, the nature of your lightning seems to have changed. Although it still looks like lightning, it seems to have completely opposite properties to the one I have, yet the two are attracted to each other. I think we can even join forces to unleash some very powerful moves!"
Xu Ning extinguished the ball of lightning in his hand and laughed, "In my hometown, there is a distinction between Yang lightning and Yin lightning. I just don't know if there is a similar distinction in Inazuma, the land of lightning. I'll ask General Thunder when I go back sometime."
"Let's go. At least with this, I have more ways to deal with the stragglers. Let's set off now and rescue the Little Lucky Grass King first."
Kong responded and was about to set off with Xu Ning when he suddenly turned back to look at the countless pieces of wood floating on the river.
"I wonder if that burst of lightning just now killed the Doctor?"
Xu Ning chuckled and shook his head. "If only it were as you say, but it's not that simple. Someone who can hold the second seat of the Fools' Executive Officer is not someone who can be dealt with so easily, especially since the 'god' Sanbing was created by him."
After thinking about it for a while, he said, "What a pity," and then followed in Xu Ning's footsteps.
Before they arrived yesterday, everyone sat quietly listening to Al-Hysen explain the plan to counterattack the Church.
"That's it? That's it?"
"After all that fuss, are we just going to fight our way in?"
Elhesen looked at Dixia, who had interrupted, with some surprise. "Of course. We are strong enough now to break through the Order of the Church directly, why would we need to be sneaky?"
These words left Dixia speechless.
"Alright, now that you've made your decision, I can't just sit here doing nothing. I'll go write a letter; hopefully it will be of some help to us..."
Although it remains unknown who Dixia wrote the letter to, everyone is now waiting in the Dust Song Pot, just waiting for Xu Ning and Kong to break into the core area of the Order Institute, and then release them all to catch the Order Institute off guard.
Al-Hysen's target for the two was the office of the Great Sage in the Council of Churches.
"Today happens to be the Day of Knowledge Collection, a day to gather all the new knowledge from the recent period and record it into the void in the form of canned knowledge. Usually, this time of year is very lively, and the Academy is relatively chaotic. If you can take advantage of the chaos to break into the Great Sage's office, there is an operating console there that can manipulate the void and is exclusively for the Great Sage's use."
Xu Ning and Kong appeared almost simultaneously in the square at the gate of the Order of the Church.
There is a teleportation anchor point at the edge of the square. Xu Ning used this teleportation point to leave last time.
Originally, if he used this teleportation point again, the enemy might take advantage of it and set traps. However, Xu Ning came here to fight, so he could just break through any traps he encountered.
However, until Kong and Xu Ning appeared in the square, all the scholars around were busy and seemed to have completely ignored the two of them.
"Ahem, this is a bit awkward."
Faced with this situation, Xu Ning couldn't help but cough lightly, thankfully he had prepared for all sorts of attacks.
"Brother Xu, what should we do?"
Xu Ning laughed and said, "That's easy, just go straight to the office."
The two swaggered straight toward the gates of the Order of the Church.
Xu Ning and Kong were still quite easy to spot in the crowd, after all, one was a blond foreigner and the other was wearing Liyue's classic clothing, which made them look completely out of place among the scholars of the Sumeru Academy.
So the two of them were spotted by others almost as soon as they moved around.
"Look, these are the two people on the wanted list. What do we do?"
"What? What should we do? Notify the guards! What are those guards doing? How did they get them here?"
Despite the surrounding scholars' heated discussions, not a single one dared to stand up and stop the two.
Especially since Kong had the Wufeng Sword in his hand from the very beginning, no one dared to say a word.
However, the two guards standing at the main gate of the Order of the Instruction faithfully raised their weapons at Xu Ning and his companion.
Xu Ning stepped forward, his hands suddenly shot out, and two thick streams of alcohol emanated from his hands, piercing directly into the chests of the two men.
Two red blushes rose on the faces of the two guards, and they quickly collapsed to the ground, drunk.
"It's much simpler than I expected."
Xu Ning led Kong all the way to the door of the Great Sage's office and pushed it open without stopping.
The great sage Azhar, whom I had met at the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival, was now sitting upright behind his desk, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
"You did indeed rush in this way, just as the Void had predicted."
Xu Ning lifted the gourd and took a sip of wine. "Oh, so you mean my data has been collected by the void? How did that thing deduce that I would come in through this door?"
Azar laughed and said, "Naturally, it's based on the existing data input and then analyzed by the Void. The more data there is, the more accurate the Void's judgment will be. Although we don't know much about you, even with the data on your activities in Sumeru, it's enough for the Void to determine the actions you might choose."
Xu Ning clapped his hands and laughed, "That's truly remarkable. To be able to judge my actions without knowing anything about me, has it now judged what I'm about to do? I can't guarantee it will be even worse than what it did to you during the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival!"
