Chapter 317 Someone's Wish
Upon closer reflection, I think these desserts are actually somewhat useful overall.
At least after these pastries appeared, Thor's knife skills on the other side became somewhat less sharp.
Sora felt that she was even intentionally or unintentionally changing her knife skills to avoid getting the slippery pastries on her again.
Of course, in Xu Ning's view, this ridiculous movie was actually trying to salvage a piece of cake, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
When there were a few pastries left on the ground, Lei suddenly sheathed his long sword and stood still.
But then, the largest multi-layered cake in half a day popped out of the small pot in that time.
Seeing that Thor on the other side suddenly stopped, Kong hurriedly picked up the cake that had bounced into the air.
"No need to hide anymore, come out. I know this is all your scheme."
Lei Yingdian suddenly shouted at a spot next to Kong.
Kong thought the movie was about Xu Ning, who was trapped in his Dust Song Pot, and immediately released him.
But at that very moment, Kong felt a warmth in his chest. A giggle suddenly came from the place where Xu Ning had given him, and a pink figure appeared beside him almost simultaneously with Xu Ning.
The court lady with fox ears exchanged a glance with Xu Ning, then giggled and said, "Oh dear, I thought Ying was calling for me, so I couldn't help but jump out, but I didn't expect..."
"Do you think I wasn't calling for you?"
Lei, sitting opposite, was not at all friendly. "Wasn't it you who passed on my sword skills to this Liyue person? Otherwise, who would dare to say that they can stop my swordsmanship with sweets just by being separated by a layer of caves?"
“And this person,” Lei Ying’s beautiful eyes turned to Kong, who looked helpless as he was sandwiched between two sides, “He was able to lead so many resistance fighters into Inazuma Castle as if it were empty. If it weren’t for your and the final support during this time, how could they have attacked here so easily?”
Yae no Miko covered her mouth and giggled, "Even if you say that, I will absolutely not admit it without any evidence."
Lei Yingdian, naturally aware of the lazy habits of the person in front of him, asked, "You came in personally just to protect this person?"
Yae no Miko said slowly, "I sent him to awaken you. A new opportunity has arisen, and we must continue moving forward."
“Look at Liyue, humanity has begun to stride forward, leaving the gods behind.”
Lei Yingdian shook his head slightly.
"We've both experienced the losses that come with moving forward, and you should know what kind of pain that is. Human lifespan is only a hundred years, and they simply cannot bear those losses. Only I can guide them to the right eternity."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his old friend, Yae no Miko could only nod helplessly and say, "This young man is determined to refute you. In that case, you two continue. Xu Ning and I will go to the side and watch."
As she spoke, Yae no Miko was about to take the large cake from Sora's hands.
Kong didn't recognize the alluring beauty, but he still handed her the cake and whispered to Xu Ning beside him, "I really don't think I can beat her."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "Actually, it's not difficult. Do you remember how Maple Leaf blocked Wuxiang's attack just now?"
Seeing that Kong was puzzled, Yae no Miko explained, "The power of wishes is immense. What you need to learn is to understand the good wishes of the people and transform them into your source of power. Then your sword will naturally be invincible."
After saying that, he ignored Kong, who was deep in thought, and turned to walk to the side.
“Brother Xu…” Kong could only throw the question back to this seemingly omnipotent Brother Xu once again.
Xu Ning smiled and tapped his empty chest. "Reflect on it carefully, and you will understand."
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he walked to the side of the Divine Child, took out a silver-handled knife from the Dust Concealment Gourd, and carefully cut the cake.
Xu Ning handed a piece to Yae no Miko, and cut himself a small piece as well. The two ate while waiting for the next battle.
"Here... savor it carefully, what... what's here?"
Kong patted the spot on Xu Ning's chest with his hand, and suddenly remembered the amulet Xu Ning had given him.
Although she still felt a little embarrassed thinking about it, Sora resolutely took the amulet and held it in her palm. "Lord Sora, who possesses both wisdom and beauty, please lend me a hand!"
That sound made the two people cutting the cake next to them burst out laughing.
Even Lei Yingdian, who was about to step forward and make another move, was taken aback.
"What a cutie. What I meant was to let you understand all those who lost their God's Eye, understand their wishes, and then, together with their wishes, change the mind of this stubborn guy in front of you."
Xu Ning tapped his chest and laughed loudly, "I'm right, really try to understand it with your heart!"
He blushed deeply after the commotion, and it took him a long time to calm down and focus on understanding the desires of the people who had first encountered the Thousand-Handed and Hundred-Eyed Statue outside.
It was only then that Sora realized that countless wishes had long been placed upon him.
"We just want to be treated fairly..."
"I want to become the greatest swordsman in the world..."
"I really want this to end quickly so I can go get dessert..."
"I want to see pure white snow..."
"I hope the Eye Hunting Order can be abolished..."
Beautiful wishes, each radiant with dazzling light, coalesced into a seven-colored wish wheel behind Kong, and the wishes of all people began to converge into a single bundle, resisting the will of thunder.
"So that's how it is... In that case, let me see if your wishes have transcended eternity."
Purple light flashed in Lei Yingdian's eyes, and all the lightning power in his body was concentrated into a single blade, which he slashed at the empty space where the man was meditating with his eyes closed.
At that moment, the desires surrounding Kong reacted almost automatically, pushing the bladeless sword in his hand to meet the Thunder Lord's will.
Neither Xu Ning nor the Divine Child were eating; instead, they stood to the side, intently watching the scene unfold.
The current confrontation is no longer about strength, but a clash of wills and a rebuttal of the power of intention.
With a clang, the two swords clashed, and the weapon that flew out was actually Lei Yingdian's.
Kong looked at the longsword in his hand with some surprise. The powerful force of his wishes was gradually fading. After proving themselves, those urgent or high-spirited desires suddenly became gentle, murmuring softly as if offering comforting whispers to their god.
"Shadow, you've lost."
Yae no Miko walked towards Lei Yingdian, while Xu Ning wisely didn't go over and instead walked in front of Kong.
"How do you feel? Did you experience godlike power?"
Kong scratched his head and laughed, "You know what, these are really terrifying powers. I can't even imagine how powerful a person would become when the faith of an entire nation is concentrated in one person."
Xu Ning smiled faintly, "That is—God!"
