Chapter 906: Disparity

Garuda could understand if he didn’t get any advantage in close quarter combat or techniques. Since Liu Bailing said that close quarter combat was her path, then naturally she would’ve reached great heights in her field.

Although it could be said that Garuda walked the path touching on close quarter combat, his main body had already reached ancient god realm in terms of physical strength and was even more formidable than that of Yaksha who had inherited the strength bloodline. But his speed was his true advantage.

If Yaksha relied on strength to break everything, Garuda relied on speed to do that.

In front of true speed, everything was useless. In the first exchange, he had used speed to amplify his physical strength to draw a tie with Liu Qing, and he only came out at a slight disadvantage. But when they exchanged blows for the second time, Garuda discovered that Liu Qing’s speed was only a hair slower than his.

He wanted to fight with her at close quarters, but he could only catch her afterimage. Even if he possessed tyrannical strength, if he couldn’t touch the enemy, then everything was useless.

What kind of situation was that? Who exactly was the ancient god who had inherited the speed bloodline of a master god?

Garuda looked at the after images in the sky with his golden pupils. In his heart, he was sure that if the deadlock continued, then there wouldn’t be any winner. Just a moment ago, while he was observing the three rounds of competition, Liu Qing had never used her full strength, causing them to misjudge it.

That only left one method….

The next instant, Garuda slightly bowed toward the sky and began to emit golden light from his body. After it dissipated, a bird with a golden crown and golden wings appeared.

“Garuda surprisingly revealed his true appearance. This Ancient Goddess Liu Qing is really formidable. I hadn’t expected that the youngest sister would be nurturing such a dragon, hiding such a character. As expected, everyone has hidden themselves deeply,” Vishnu mumbled.

“This is the first time Garuda has revealed his true form in front of so many ants. But I want to properly observe it,” Yaksha ruefully said.

Most ancient gods usually appeared with their original appearance, except Vishnu who kept transforming constantly, but Garuda appeared in human form in front of others. In the image worshiped by mortals, Garuda appeared as a half-bird, half-human hybrid. It could be said that the only people who had seen Garuda’s true appearance were experts of the same level.

Yet he had revealed his original appearance in reply to Liu Qing’s true strength. As for what she had previously displayed, it was only the tip of the iceberg.

Garuda lightly screeched, and the countless afterimages in the sky scattered. Brunhilda’s white figure appeared with a confused expression, then she stepped into a crack in space.

The next instant, an afterimage entered the crack chasing after her.

The two people entered the space, and the twelve holy daughters underneath were unable to make out the situation. Among the four ancient gods, only Indra, Shiva, and Vishnu could see the true situation. The three of them used their heavenly eyes, and their expressions turned strange.

“What is the situation? Did Garuda cripple Ancient Goddess Liu Qing?” Yaksha asked with anxiousness when he saw the twisted faces of his companions.

Garuda usually wouldn’t open his mouth, since his temperament was the proudest.

Ancient Goddess Liu Qing had forced him to reveal his true appearance, so he might do anything to gher. But if Ancient Goddess Liu Qing was beaten until she was half dead, she couldn’t be offered to yin son of heaven.

“No… Is Garuda being beaten?” God Shiva slowly asked with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Yaksha was startled after hearing his words, then enquired after a few seconds, “God Shiva, what did you say?”

Just as he finished, the screech of a bird appeared in the sky above the stage. Everyone underneath looked toward the source of the sound and saw a crack appear in the sky. A bird emitting golden light came out of it, and it was followed by an enormous body…

Before the twelve holy daughters and four ancient gods could react, the half of Garuda which had appeared was pulled back into the crack while the crown on his head fell down to the ground. Everyone present turned quiet, but only after a long time did the four ancient gods manage to react. All of their expressions turned strange.

Garuda in his original form was somehow still being beaten by Ancient Goddess Liu Qing… What kind of situation was that?!

The four ancient gods looked at each other with their hearts full of with suspicion. It was completely different from what they had expected. Garuda was a peak existence among the ancient gods, so how could he have been grabbed and pulled back to be beaten some more?

“Is this Ancient Goddess Liu Qing using her ancient god level cultivation?” Yaksha suddenly asked.

The three ancient gods shook their heads. Although the two combatants had entered a crack in space, they could still be seen after the three gods focused their gazes. They could clearly see that Ancient Goddess Liu Qing was only using god level cultivation. Not for one moment had she brought out her her ancient goddess level cultivation.

After a few breaths, another crack appeared in the sky. It expanded in both directions, and a white figure slowly walked out. It held a palm-sized… golden-winged bird in its hand.

Brunhilda returned to the competition stage with a carefree expression on her face. Garuda, whom she held in her hand, was then thrown toward the direction of the four ancient gods. The palm-sized, golden-winged bird fell near the legs of the four.

“You all lose!”

The twelve holy daughters had unleashed their divine techniques to block the gazes of the Music Clan’s descendants, so the spectators hadn’t known what exactly was the final result of the competition until they heard those words. Then, all of them jumped up and cheered.

The four ancient gods looked at Garuda lying at their feet resembling a golden chicken with only a few feathers left on his body.

The four ancient gods were speechless. They looked at each other but didn’t say anything. The crescent moons kept revolving in one of their eyes, and he extended his hand to grab Garuda.

Indra, who originally had a gloomy expression, smiled then. He stood up and came to see Brunhilda on the competition platform.

“Ancient Goddess Liu Qing really kept herself hidden deeply, even us five brothers with the same cultivation couldn’t be your opponent. My little sister’s luck is really good to have a character like you by her side.”

“You flatter me. The competition can be considered to have ended, so you five should return to the divine palace. As for when will the alliance of Lakshmi City and five ancient gods will go to deal with Asrua, I will tell you,” Brunhilda said without giving the slightest face to the five ancient gods.

The instant she had entered the crack, she obtained information from Li Yunmu that the five ancient gods were colluding with the power from beyond the heavens and wanted to offer her as a slave to the yin son of heaven in exchange for position of a master god. After learning this information, she didn’t suppress her strength and viciously beat Garuda in the crack.

When Indra heard her words, he was silent for a long time before suddenly saying, “Deal with Asura? I seem to have heard Ancient Goddess Liu Qing’s words wrong. This competition was only to determine whether you would return to the divine palace with us or not. It has no relation to dealing with Asura.”

As he said that, the expressions of the twelve holy daughters turned dark. They looked at the five ancient gods with a hint of rage in their eyes. Indra overruled all the previous agreements like a marketplace hoodlum.

Brunhilda pretended to not have understood him clearly and enquired, “What do you five ancient gods mean?”
