The Turn Stone into Gold Talent, with its "instant death" property, possessed the terrifying power to one-shot kill any creature of Legendary Level or below.

In other words,

as long as Su Mumu could pay the corresponding price,

she was fully capable of sweeping through the Lord World on her own, annihilating 99.9% of its creatures. Only Divine Chosen Lords, Destiny Heroes, and the Sielo Knights, who also wielded Authority from a Divine Gift, would be exempt.

This very Authority from her Divine Gift was how she had managed to conquer a red-difficulty Lost Secret Realm faster than Qin Feng, successfully claim the Book of Extraordinary Promotion, break through to the Extraordinary Realm, become the first Extraordinary Lord, and snatch away Qin Feng’s Achievement Reward for "First to Become an Extraordinary Lord."

However, the true strength of this power was not something an ordinary person could perceive.

After all, in the Lord World, everyone’s damage output was already excessive after reaching the Extraordinary Realm. Late-game battles had become a matter of "whoever lands the first hit gets the kill."

It was often more efficient to just kill enemies directly with conventional skills rather than use the costly Authority from a Divine Gift.

But Nesia was no ordinary person. The moment his Magic Clone was instantly killed, the Evil God Believer, who had lived for centuries, precisely grasped the terrifying nature of this "unknown skill."

It could cause instant death, completely bypassing equipment defense, skill blocks, and Talent immunities. It also had a line-of-sight area-of-effect, and it even seemed to have a guaranteed-hit tracking effect.

Whether it was for an underdog to defeat a much stronger opponent,

or for dealing with special targets who had life-saving measures and powerful regeneration, making them difficult to burst down,

this Authority from her Divine Gift held a far greater advantage than so-called conventional one-shot-kill skills.

Moreover,

what terrified Nesia the most was that

at the very instant his Magic Clone was annihilated by that golden light,

an extreme sense of pressure had surged from the depths of his being. It was as if he were facing the Great Evil God’s true form—his heart clenched, and he couldn’t even muster a single thought of resistance.

"Divine Power..."

"This is Divine Power in the truest sense..."

"Dammit..."

"I misjudged again..."

"Flame Emperor Galukasa isn’t my greatest obstacle, and neither is Tingfeng. This female Divine Chosen Lord is my greatest obstacle..."

"Who is she!?"

"Is she that second-ranked Lord Player?"

’No!’

’I must get detailed intelligence on this woman!’

’Which means!’

’I have to go find that useless ally, Pride, in the Dragon Realm!’

’Make him tell me everything he knows about her!’

’Or!’

’I could arrange for an Evil God Player spy to get close to her!’

’After all, this is true Divine Power!’

’I can’t be too cautious in dealing with this!’

His thoughts settled. Nesia flew to the windowsill, his gaze sweeping over the Gulad Imperial Capital, which was now completely occupied by Evil God believer soldiers. He then looked beyond the city walls at the large swarms of Void Creatures roaming freely.

’My main Extraordinary Forces are all concentrated within the Imperial Capital.’

’Outside the city is a Death Zone completely overrun by those Void Creatures, which are rapidly evolving into Extraordinary Creatures.’

’With these two Evil God Armies holding the line, plus the Imperial Capital’s own No-Fly Magic Array, and all the Magic Buildings enhanced with Extraordinary Power like the Magic Cannon Towers and Divine Thunder Crossbow Towers... that guy Tingfeng shouldn’t be able to breach the Imperial Capital in such a short time, right?’

’If he can take it down even with all this,’

’then even Flame Emperor Galukasa’s Extraordinary Dragon Cavalry wouldn’t be able to hold the Imperial Royal City.’

’They’d probably fall to Tingfeng’s Divine Chosen Army all the same.’

’Hmm...’

’It should be fine...’

’I’d better go find Pride first and get the intel on this woman...’

Nesia’s Magic Clone ability was completely different from Qin Feng’s Necromancer Champion.

His Clones couldn’t act independently; Nesia had to personally control their every move, and he could only control one at a time.

More critically, while controlling a Magic Clone, Nesia’s true body had to remain fixed within a specific Magic Array, unable to move even a single step.

This made it impossible for him to multitask or execute multiple plans simultaneously.

Therefore,

when Nesia chose to leave the Imperial Capital,

he had no special abilities like a shared Field of View for remote observation, nor could he get information support from other Lord Players in the chat channels.

This caused Nesia to completely lose control over the Imperial Royal City and its Central Region.

He could no longer know the specific situation there.

Meanwhile, the Divine Descent version of Arthas, who had scouted south along the Death Zone all the way to the Imperial Royal City, used the "Eagle Eye" Passive shared by his main body to discover that Nesia seemed to have left. Only a large number of Mage believers of the God of Envy were stationed inside.

’Huh?’

’There are actually several thousand Extraordinary Mage Masters?’

’Since he’s not a player, what method did he use to convert all those Evil God Believers into the Mage Soldier Type?’

’Could it be through some special Hero Talent?’

’Surely he didn’t just recruit Mortals who hadn’t advanced to become Extraordinary Creatures, turning away one-star Extraordinary Soldiers, just so he could slowly cultivate those Mortal Soldiers into Extraordinary Mages, right?’

After pondering for a moment, Qin Feng felt he couldn’t find an answer. He decided to stop overthinking it and immediately shifted his focus to analyzing his chances of successfully attacking the Imperial Capital and devising various siege plans.

First,

the No-Fly Magic Array of the Imperial Royal City. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This Array rendered his Extraordinary Dragon Cavalry mostly ineffective.

Normally, they could leverage their advantage in the air to quickly assassinate the enemy’s squishy damage dealers, seize high ground like the city walls, and airdrop their top-tier soldiers for close-quarters combat.
