That is to say, 390 billion...
A health bar of 390 billion!
Quite clearly, the world above level 30 was a completely different concept to the one below level 30.
For normal beings under level 30, their health bars were still fluctuating around ’ten thousands’; even reaching a few hundred thousand was beyond their conceivable limit.
But at the level of a deity, the health bar had incredibly begun to be counted in the tens of billions...
It was absurd, utterly absurd... but no matter how absurd, at least it was no longer infinite.
As long as there was a health bar, there was at least the possibility of killing it!
A sudden loud noise came from afar.
The previously slammed Octopus King seemed to have recovered its vitality as it sprang out of the ground and clung directly to the back of the Shadow God. With its wriggling tendrils, it once again started to wrap itself all over the Shadow God.
The Shadow God roared in anger, using its claws to tear at the Octopus King, leaving a swath of bloody scratch marks on its surface.
However, under the suppression effect of the Evil-suppressing Funeral Bell, the movement of the Shadow God became inevitably sluggish. Unable to pull the Octopus King from its body, it could only trudge forward, dragging the Octopus King little by little.
Mu You noticed this situation and at once took out an item from his ring.
A Sunlight Stone acquired from the Sunlight Elf’s shop, the effect of which was to temporarily turn the surroundings into daylight.
The shadow of the Shadow God, after all, was still just a shadow. Even a god’s shadow would normally hide behind its body and should not be able to face the sunlight directly. Now that it had devoured its host body for control, exposing itself, it should presumably fear the sunlight.
Whether this was true or not, a test would tell.
Mu You took out the Sunlight Stone and crushed it for activation.
Above their heads, a hole suddenly appeared in the thick clouds in the sky, and dazzling sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the surrounding area of several thousand kilometers like it was daytime.
As expected, under the direct sunlight, the Shadow God indeed let out a dreadful scream, writhing violently as if salt had been sprinkled on its wounds, causing even the Octopus King to struggle to hold it down.
And just then, another dull sound of a bell resounded from the sky.
Mu You quickly turning his head, Lin Xue had struck the Funeral Bell once again.
Mu You quickly realized that there was about an hour’s time difference between the Cook Islands and Japan. In Japan, it was now one o’clock, and in the Star Spirit World, it had just passed midnight.
The Funeral Bell could be used once a day, just in time to use it twice at the stroke of midnight.
However, the consecutively ringing Funeral Bell was also a great strain on Lin Xue. After the bell rang, the Grim Reaper image on Lin Xue rapidly shrank until it completely burrowed into her body and disappeared.
Lin Xue swayed a bit, but quickly regained her balance and tried to summon the Reaper again, but this time there was no response.
Lin Xue helplessly shook her head at Mu You: "Overexertion. Unable to summon it for a while."
Mu You nodded, and the two looked at the Shadow God in the distance.
Following the just rang bell, the Black Chains around the Shadow God had doubled, and the information relayed by the Omniscient Crystal revealed that the Shadow God’s level had been lowered from 35 to 33!
Under the combined suppressive effect of the two consecutive tolls of the Funeral Bell, the Sunlight Stone’s weakness, and the Octopus King’s interference, the Shadow God had finally been completely immobilized, unable to move at all.
"How long can the Funeral Bell’s effect last?" Mu You asked.
"It depends on the value of the evil. The Funeral Bell’s effect is essentially transforming the target’s evil into tangible constraints, and the process of struggling, in fact, is a continuous shedding of guilt. Therefore, the evil value will become less and less over time. Once the evil value reaches zero, the effect of the Funeral Bell will automatically end," Lin Xue explained, looking at the gigantic Shadow Ghost, she estimated, "According to the current consumption rate, it can only last for about two hours before it breaks free."
"Two hours... is enough!"
Mu You nodded, instantly teleported back to the City Lord’s Castle, rushed to the control desk, brought out the City Lord’s Book, and opened the ’City-wide Task’ page.
One had to exert tremendous effort to only secure two hours of time to deal with this thing.
A health bar of 390 billion, coupled with the absurd abilities of God’s Devouring and God’s Defense, this was not something one or a few individuals could handle.
The only way was to harness the power of all the cities’ dwellers!
