We evil gods must hide.

Chapter 48 The Giant Dragon Soaring Across the Sky

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow.

"If you hadn't drained the entire plane's essence, would I, this god, have been sleeping soundly every day? Being fed like a kitten by this little girl every day is so embarrassing."

Lin Qi replied in his mind: "If we don't squeeze out all the source energy, you and I will still be being hunted down by the two great temples across the entire territory."

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say."

The little black cat's voice was listless, with a hint of resentment, "Now the plane has completely fallen silent within my body, and I can't even borrow a little bit of primal power. I'm only hanging on by your pitiful faith."

"Hey, hey, hey, when are you going to complete your divine status?!"

Lin Qi didn't say anything.

This is also one of the problems that gives him a headache.

He brought up his own control panel.

[Attributes: Strength 99, Stamina 99, Magic 99, Spirit 99, Agility 99, Divinity: 10, Faith: 100000]

For months, he has been nourishing the little black cat little by little by clearing out monsters and harvesting scattered faith power, and he has also pushed his own attribute panel to the limit.

[Note: Attributes have reached their current limit. Further upgrades are possible only after the Divinity attribute is repaired.]

This invisible barrier always stood in his way, like an insurmountable obstacle.

Damn it, this divine status can't be repaired.

The Forgotten God is a permanent enemy openly targeted by the Pantheon. As long as he regains his godhood, he will attract an insurmountable foe!

A hint of distress flashed across Lin Qi's dark eyes.

I'll have to think of another way. I'll take a break and go ask the old thief Fold for some advanced thief knowledge.

Just then, Lin Qi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After raising his mental strength to 99, he could clearly perceive the magical particles that filled the surrounding air, just like those annoying white spores. If his mental strength reached the required level, he could meditate and absorb them, becoming an enviable mage.

Lynch had observed Ella's meditation; she could only absorb about a dozen particles in an hour, an incredibly slow pace.

Her decision to drop out of school was the right one.

It would probably take thirty years to advance to the rank of a full-fledged mage.

Of course, now is not the time to discuss these things, because the magical particles in the air suddenly began to riot, like boiling water.

"This is?"

All the magic-based professionals in the town were plunged into confusion.

Just then, a deafening and terrifying roar suddenly came from the horizon.

The roar was neither like the howl of a demon nor the booming of a temple bell; it carried a kind of pressure from ancient bloodlines, like a thunderclap exploding overhead, instantly suppressing all the noise in the town.

Everyone on the street froze in place, their faces pale and their bodies trembling. They felt as if their liver and gallbladder were about to burst, and they even forgot to breathe.

Except for Lynch.

He was completely unaffected, suddenly looked up in the direction from which the sound came, and then his pupils gradually dilated.

Suddenly, a gap was torn open in the clouds on the horizon, and a gigantic blue dragon, its wings spread wide, swooped down from the clouds. Its scales shimmered with a deep blue luster like the ocean under the sunlight. When its wings were spread, they almost covered half of the sky, and the shadows it cast instantly enveloped the entire Silverleaf Town.

"dragon!"

"It's a dragon! A dragon is attacking! Hide!"

The town's alarm bells suddenly rang, waking the townspeople and adventurers who had been stunned by the dragon's roar.

Silverleaf Town suddenly erupted into chaos, like a pot of boiling water.

People were either panicked, excited, or terrified. The timid ones searched for cover, while the daring ones climbed onto the rooftops to face the dragon head-on.

But the next moment, everyone stopped what they were doing.

The majestic, enormous blue dragon flew over the town.

Dragon's Might.

The dragon's oppressive aura was so real that everyone knelt down, not daring to lift their heads. Several low-level adventurers dropped their weapons with a clatter, trembling like leaves, too weak to even run away.

[A high-ranking being has violated the majesty of the evil god, triggering the passive effect of forgetting the evil god.]

[Whispers of Oblivion failed to activate (insufficient divine power)]

[Fear Aura failed to activate (insufficient divine power)]

[Lost Curse failed to activate (insufficient divine power)]

【…】

Lin Qi rolled his eyes, his gaze fixed on the legendary magical creature.

The blue dragon did not stop in Silverleaf Town, nor did it even glance down at the town below. It simply let out a roar filled with ferocity and exhaustion, and charged straight into the depths of the Misty Forest.

The enormous figure disappeared into the dense forest mist, leaving behind only swirling clouds and a lingering, terrifying dragon's might.

"It's injured."

Lynch could clearly see that there was a huge wound dripping blood on the blue dragon's abdomen.

What could possibly harm such a terrifying being?

After a full quarter of an hour, the people on the street gradually came to their senses, slumped to the ground, panting heavily, and the sounds of discussion surged up like an explosive tide.

"A dragon...it's a dragon! A real dragon!"

"My God, this is the first time in my life I've ever seen a live dragon! It charged into the Misty Forest! Could it be that the disasters of the past few months were caused by it?"

"No, it's coming from the wrong direction. This dragon is from the west!"

The panicked people were talking amongst themselves.

Old Cole's face also darkened, his brows furrowing into a deep knot: "Something's not right. I've heard that most adult blue dragons stay on Dragon Island and never come to the human principality so easily."

Ella hugged the little black cat in her arms even tighter, her fingertips turning slightly white, but she still tried to remain calm and comforted the little black cat in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, Little Black! The annoying big lizard is gone!"

The little black cat looked up at Lin Qi and rolled its eyes.

Good heavens, little girl, you're holding a real deity in your arms. Are you afraid of the pressure of a giant dragon?

Lin Qi's gaze remained fixed on the direction of the Misty Forest, a subtle hint of seriousness flashing across his eyes.

"Have you noticed that something's off about that blue dragon?"

"What's wrong? It's just an injury, I can see it, and you can see it too."

Lin Qi shook his head.

"No, it's more like the feeling I get when I first see you."

The little black cat remained silent for a moment.

"Impossible. Ordinary dragons cannot possess divinity. This is blasphemy against the Five-Colored Dragon God."

The blue dragon exuded an extremely strange aura, quite different from when he first saw the little black cat in its true form, and it even faintly stirred the chaotic whispers in Lin Qi's mind.

Sensing Lin Qi's unease, the little black cat in his mind stopped its fussing and said in a wary voice, "Could it be some evil god causing trouble again?"

"You can feel it?"

"Lin Qi asked in his mind."

"Nonsense, we're in a symbiotic relationship now. You had a headache just now, and so did I."

The little black cat snorted and then slumped down again. "It's a pity you drained the essence of this plane, otherwise I could have sensed more things."

Again.

This cat really harbors a lot of resentment towards itself.

Lin Qi withdrew his gaze, looked at the team members, and said calmly, "Why don't we go back and rest first?"

"The town is bound to be in chaos for a while now that the Blue Dragon has just entered the Misty Forest. We might not even be able to find anyone at Old John's place."

Old Cole nodded immediately, trusting Lynch's judgment the most. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse: "Don't wander around. We'll talk about other things after today's chaos has subsided."

"Lin Qi, can I bring Xiao Hei with me?"

Ella looked expectant, and the little black cat in her arms also looked pleading.

"Please, don't leave me with this little girl."

Lynch nodded.

Watching Ella leave with the grumbling kitten in her arms.

Lynch was still homeless, living in a dormitory and eating rye bread.

Lying in bed, my fingertips unconsciously tapped the edge of the bed, my mind replaying the image of the blue dragon flying by.

He always felt that the appearance of this blue dragon was not accidental.

The seemingly peaceful days in Silverleaf Town are probably coming to an end.

Just then, the little black cat's voice rang in my mind, mumbling indistinctly, as if it were eating something.

"Don't even think about it, it's none of our business anyway."

"You can't even advance to the next rank yet, so what are you meddling in the affairs of the dragon race? Break down your own class barrier first."

Lin Qi didn't speak, and closed his eyes.

The system panel popped up in my mind again, the pale blue text already fixed, as if welded shut, without any further change:

[Attributes: Strength 99, Stamina 99, Magic 99, Spirit 99, Agility 99, Divinity: 10, Faith: 100000]

He tried adding some points.
