In the course of battle, she maintained the upper hand.
At the critical moment, her controlled character was poised to breach the enemy's health bar swiftly and claim victory, causing a subtle smile to grace Sue Xihon's lips.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly delicate girl, who had exhibited a timid fighting style, resorted to self-detonation in her final moments.
"I would rather perish than become your slave.
Let us die together," the girl screamed fervently.
What followed was an explosion of light, a tremendous radiance, and a shockwave of burning shards that engulfed the entire game screen.
The opposing deity was willing to shatter her divine form, fracture her essence, and obliterate her soul, all to strike at Suzihon.
It is worth noting that deities are notoriously difficult to kill.
Typically, if they are vanquished, as long as any fragment of their body, divine essence, or soul remains, there exists a chance for resurrection.
This is a truth every deity learns upon awakening.
Such self-detonation obliterated all chances of survival.
A feat not all deities possess the courage to undertake.
The shock wave from this enraged girl's self-exlosion sent Sue Xihan's character hurtling far away as there was simply no way to evade the blast from such proximity.
Fortunately, Sue Xihan had purchased insurance.
In the nick of time, the systems barrier erupted, absorbing a portion of the damage, and her character remained intact had she not secured that insurance.
Suzi Han would have doubted her character's survival against this self-destructing deity, fearing an immediate demise.
How terrifying.
Suzi Han patted her chest, acutely aware of a necessity for vigilance.
The scene gradually came into focus.
The playeres s character stood at the center seemingly unscathed without missing limbs and exhibiting a healthy complexion surrounding her.
The landscape had transformed into a barren wasteland devoid of any life.
The ground of the divine realm was similarly marred by fissures.
Suddenly Suzi Han found herself gasping for breath, struggling to draw in air to stave off the encroaching sensation of suffocation.
Her character too began to falter, collapsing to the ground.
One hand propping herself up as she gasped for air resembling someone battling to breathe.
An intense wave of pain washed over Suzie Han.
Her head throbbed.
Her body achd.
Her arms and wrists burned.
Her fingers stung.
Her legs and feet hurt.
She felt as though she had been thoroughly beaten.
It felt as though an imaginary organ which should not exist was also aching.
a genuine pain radiating throughout her being.
She gritted her teeth, striving to maintain clarity of thought.
Yet the sweat cascading down her forehead was a testament to the reality of her suffering.
The pain was indeed overwhelming.
Gradually, she realized that this was not the onset of a sudden illness.
It was intricately linked to her game character.
As her character sustained injuries, she too experienced pain.
They were one and the same.
Her three-dimensional self governed her two-dimensional counterpart, and at times the latter influenced her reality.
This meant that her recent bout of acute distress was likely a consequence of her characters leveling up.
Immediate action was required to heal her game character, lest her ordinary human form succumb to the agony.
She distinctly heard the faint sound of something cracking.
A system notification appeared on her screen.
Player's divine ring has developed cracks and is in a critically injured state.
Does the player require emergency assistance from the system? Treatment cost 199 divine coins.
Naturally, she needed assistance.
Without hesitation, she clicked to request aid.
The pain was becoming unbearable.
In a flash, the game screen shifted, and though mere seconds passed, it felt as if an eternity had gone by.
A teleportation array materialized before her character, accompanied by a deity emanating a green light, obscuring its features known as the hidden.
After a few potent healing spells, her character regained its footing.
In reality, she too felt the pain dissipate, wiping the sweat from her brow as she regained composure.
The deity that had provided her with healing departed, leaving behind a series of system logs.
You were struck by Maxwell Jillian's self-destruct attack.
The system shield activated, mitigating 80 of the damage.
You were in an injured state.
Your divine ring was harmed.
Self-healing rate diminished.
You purchased the system recommended healing service, deducting 199 divine coins from your spoils.
You received treatment from the nature deity, the hidden, utilizing divine great heal.
Three, your divine ring has been restored, increasing the strength and durability of your divine form.
I must learn healing spells.
This was the first time she had vocally expressed herself so intensely while gaming in the stillness of the night.
Her sudden exclamation might have sounded akin to that of a disturbed mind.
Yet, she understood the extent of her previous suffering.
The wait for treatment had been excruciating and she was determined to acquire healing and defensive skills to prevent such anguish in the future.
Congratulations player, you have gained new divine skills in this battle.
Dark explosion LV1, vampiric heal LV1, defensive barrier LV1.

Chapter 41.
It turns out she could be heard as steamed commander.
After numerous victorious campaigns, you have gained a modest reputation in the cosmic sea.
Your marshall prowess and renown ever increasing with more and more races having heard your name.
As the war concluded, Sue Xihon extricated herself from her pain.
Taking a moment to breathe, she began to reflect upon the recent battle, meticulously contemplating what transpired just before the outer deity's self-detonation.
During the fierce combat, as she neared the brink of depleting the outer deity's health, she had mused aloud.
For instance, she lamented the possibility of signing a contract that would allow her to return home to cultivate the land.
She even pondered over the system, questioning how she might fully extract her divine essence, wondering if materials containing water-based divine power could be utilized for construction.
Suzi Han was not inherently malevolent, harboring no intentions of inflicting harm upon her adversaries.
Rather, her thoughts were consumed by her aspiration to establish a natural farmland.
She had not forgotten that the special divine construction, the natural farmland required the irrigation of divine powers from nature, water, light, and wit to come into existence.
Previously, she had considered the possibility of seizing divine essence, which contained divine power.
Yet, she remained uncertain about the mechanics within the game interface.
Each time a battle concluded, the enemy's divine essence would default to the systems processing state, solidifying divine power into divine currency for settlement.
The empty divine essence imbued with the power of laws would be allocated to participating subordinates based on their contributions to the war facilitating their ascension.
This was one of the motivations for various races to engage in battle.
Souahan noted that the doll tribe held her in high regard likely due to the enhanced opportunities for them to receive fragmented divine essence alongside her.
Ultimately, she found herself unable to manipulate the situation, leading her to speak her thoughts aloud.
After all, what if the consciousness of Blue Star hurt her? If she kept her desires hidden, how could the consciousness of Blue Star over seeing so many children players discern what they truly wished for? Then the outer deity declared, "I would rather perish eternally than become your slave.
Let us die together.
" Surely the outer deity must have heard that, must have perceived it, discarding all improbabilities and daring to imagine.
It was likely that they sensed the attitudes and words reflected in their reality.
This implied that in addition to her actions within the game impacting her character, perhaps her gestures, expressions, and utterances could also be mirrored in another realm.
In a moment of profound contemplation, Suzie Han reflected on her previous conduct, grateful for her focus and seriousness while gaming.
She had not engaged in any actions that would compromise her esteemed image.
Upon returning to Dark Island, as the game settled, her subordinates began to depart.
The vast multitude of deep sea worms returned home first with two intelligent deep sea worms leading the way.
