Chapter 941 – Skeleton King!
Lewis looked at the Dark Mist. He was the northern army's first squad commander. Because of this, he remained behind. Moreover, he was continuously entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
Lewis was clearly aware about how much importance the clan attached to the northern defensive line. Moreover, he also understood the present situation. The methods the Clan prepared to deal with the Dark Mist were simply useless. The Dark Mist was still expanding. For the family, this was a great trial. If they don't do well, then the family would suffer a loss.
But there was no other method for Lewis. The innate Yin domain appearing here was strange in itself. The fact that it was also expanding made it even more mystical.
Lewis was constantly worried. However, today, he was feeling extra worried, and he didn't know why. He seemed to have an apprehensive feeling.
Lewis was very convinced of this feeling. This ability wasn't born with him, but instead he acquired it after suffering a serious injury. This intuition was very strange, but it was real. And this feeling has helped Lewis several times. After he became a war tank driver, he managed to avoid several dangers by relying on his intuition.
And now, the danger he felt was unprecedented. This caused Lewis to feel fear and apprehension. The people who were with Lewis couldn't help but feel strange, this was because Lewis looked very anxious this particular day.
Lewis couldn't explain his feeling to them. Even if he did, the others wouldn't necessarily believe in him. Because of this, Lewis can only prepare to deal with the emergency the moment it happened.
Although the sun was hanging high up in the sky, making it the hottest time of the day, Lewis still felt a wave of chills. He would have a cold sweat from time to time.
Suddenly, the Dark Mist in front of them tumbled. Lewis became even more anxious. But the strange thing was his heart beginning to calm down. He knew that his intuition was acting up again, something was about to happen.
Lewis didn't think too much, he didn't want to wait until something happened. He immediately turned his war tank around and began to run away as fast as possible.
Lewis' action made the people around him feel strange. The person who opened his mouth to talk to Lewis was Theo. Theo looked at Lewis strangely and asked, "Big Brother Lewis, what's wrong? Why are we retreating? Shouldn't we stay to observe the Dark Mist?"
Lewis shook his head and said, "It's not good, the place has become dangerous."
Just as Lewis said that, a magic armor pilot suddenly called out in alarm. Lewis and Theo quickly looked at the war tank's rear view mirror. What they saw made them turn blank.
Flying out from the dark mist was a group of people. Or it could be said to be a group of undead. Most of these undead were golden yellow, they looked like they were cast from gold.
The golden yellow skeletons were riding similarly golden yellow magic beasts. In their hands were golden yellow weapons that seemed to have extraordinary might.
In the middle of these undead was another group of crystal skeletons. The appearance of these skeletons was just like the golden yellow undead but they looked much more advanced.
And in the very middle of these crystal undead was a carriage. It was a very unusual carriage as it was made out of bones. Pieces of crystal bones made up the pieces of the carriage, and it was pulled by four crystal undead magic beasts.
Inside this carriage was an undead. However, this undead was different from the others. This undead was wearing full body armor!
Correct, it was a full body armor. It was a radiant, golden armor. It seemed to be made out of gold but if you look closely it was made the same way as the carriage. The armor was made out of small pieces of bone, all connected to form this golden crystal bone body armor.
At the same time, the helmet, shoulder, elbow, and knee armors were all made out of golden skulls. Not only did it look defensive, it looked terrifying as well.
The helmet itself looked very special. It was made with a golden ox-head. Its horns pointed to the skies, looking extremely domineering.
On the back of the undead was a cape. However, the cape didn't look very neat, it looked like it was worn for a very long time. But although it was ripped and fragmented, the cape didn't make the undead look inferior. Conversely, the cape increased morbid feeling one would feel upon gazing at the undead.
There was a visor on the helmet, but at this time, it was opened. As the undead sat there, its two golden eyes were burning, giving people a huge sense of pressure.
The undead just sat quietly inside his bone carriage. His body was motionless but his aura announces a presence of a king. The king of all skeletons.
When Lewis saw these undead, he couldn't help but violently shake. His expression changed for the worse as he sped up even more towards the southern part of the Aksu Empire.
It didn't take too long before the undead discovered them. A squad of golden skeletons immediately charged. Lewis opened the war tank's doors as Theo and other people entered their magic armors and shot towards the sky.
Lewis paid extreme attention to the current matter. He told Theo and the others to not stray away from the war tank. The nearer they were to the war tank, the easier would it be for the war tank to provide support. If they were far, then they risk getting into a dangerous situation.
Theo and the others have experienced actual comboat, so they were quite aware of what to do during battles. They didn't fight the undead head on. Instead, they used their magic armors to fire energy beams towards the enemy.
But much to the surprise of Theo's group, the undead were very agile. They were able to dodge the energy beams as they continued to rush towards the magic armors.
Theo and the others stared before they became shocked. They didn't think that the undead would be this agile. Moreover, they were quite fast. The magic armors that they were proud of actually couldn't escape the undead's pursuit.
Theo and the others immediately launched bombs. After a loud explosion, the undead came out. They were basically uninjured, causing Theo to be startled once more.
At this moment, several energy beams hit the undead. The golden undead shook fiercely before the fell.
Theo and the others stared before they looked at the direction where the energy beams came from. The group couldn't help but turn red as they immediately began to lure the undead around.
But at the same time, the undead also noted the war tank on the ground. Ten undead immediately rushed towards the war tank. Lewis wildly drove the war tank around to get away from the undead while also firing energy beams.
However, not everyone manage to notice that the undead who fell to the ground didn't actually die. Instead, the fires in their eyes just became faint. But when they fell to the ground, spatial rifts suddenly opened, taking them all in. Once the undead entered the spatial rift, the rift would also disappear.
Although not everyone manage to notice this, the Skeleton King did. Upon seeing his golden skeletons vanish, he seemed to stare. Then he stood up and slowly went towards the carriage door. A crystal undead quickly opened the door for him.
The Skeleton King stepped out of his carriage and descended as though he was walking down a staircase. Every undead stopped in place, aside from those who were fighting Theo's group.
Before long the Skeleton King reached the ground. He arrived at a place where a golden skeleton vanished. He carefully examined the ground, only to find nothing special there. Even a hint of energy was absent from the area.
At this time, a spatial rift suddenly opened while a person walked out of it. The Skeleton just looked at the person that appeared before him. He didn't make a move.
This person was wearing a black magic robe. In his hand was a blood red crystal skeleton staff. He had a smiling expression on his face. There was no need to say about he man's status, he was a Dark Mage.
This person was Zhao Hai. When the skeletons went out of the Dark Mist, Cai'er immediately informed him. Because of this, Zhao Hai paid attention to the scene. After seeing the golden skeletons falling to the ground, Zhao Hai couldn't help but absorb them into the Space. Although the Space issued some prompts, it was actually very short. It just identified them as robots and improved the defensive abilities of the Space's undead.
But when he saw the Skeleton King's movements, Zhao Hai couldn't help but get curious. Because of this, he decided to personally meet the Skeleton King.
While the Skeleton King was sizing up Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai was also observing the Skeleton King. To be honest, this was the first time that Zhao Hai had seen an undead as eye-catching as this one. At this moment, the Skeleton King sent a spiritual wave towards Zhao Hai. This wasn't an attack, but instead a means to communicate.
Zhao Hai had also experienced a similar situation before, so he wasn't startled as he sent a similar spiritual wave to meet the other party. Upon contact, Zhao Hai suddenly felt an ancient but domineering voice inside his mind, "Who are you? Are you the one who took my subordinates?"
Chapter 942 – Zhao Hai's Guess
Zhao Hai looked at the undead and smiled, "Is Excellency the Underworld's Skeleton King?" The Skeleton King curiously looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Who are you? Where is this place? Why do you know my status? Are you the one that opened that spatial rift?" Zhao Hai looked at the Skeleton King and smiled faintly, "I don't have that great of an ability. I might be able to open spatial rifts, but I can't open rifts as large as the one you went through. And to be honest, no plane would want to open a spatial rift to the Underworld." The Skeleton King looked at Zhao Hai and gently tilted his head. It was obvious that he was quite curious about Zhao Hai, then he said, "You are a man who is well-informed. You know that I'm the Skeleton King and that we're from the Underworld, yet you don't seem to be afraid. Are you strong?"
Zhao Hai slightly smiled as he said, "I have some confidence in my strength. Also, before you appeared here, I have already moved everyone, my family, my friends, as well as those who have a relationship with me. So even if you overturn the heavens here, it would still not affect me. However, I will take your subordinates away, I'm quite curious about them. I want to study them well."
The flame in the Skeleton King's eyes suddenly increased in intensity, he looked angry. The Skeleton King looked at Zhao Hai and spoke in a calm manner, "You want to turn us into your slaves?" Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You can't say that, but it's about the same. I have an ability to turn all the undead I caught into my own servants."
The flame in the Skeleton King's eyes blazed even greater. He look straight at Zhao Hai and said, "Human, I know that you are strong, but you must die!" After speaking this, the Skeleton King reached back to his cape. When his hands came out again, two golden axes could be seen, huge golden broad axes.
The edges on these axes were like two huge semicircles with a diameter of about a meter. Engraved on the back of each blade was a skull pattern. The axe's handle seem to be made of sections of vertebrae.
Zhao Hai looked at the Skeleton King's appearance and couldn't help but smile. He shook his magic staff, turning it into a sword. The appearance of this sword was just like a tang blade.
The Skeleton King looked at Zhao Hai's sword with curiosity. However, he didn't say anything as his figure moved and, just like a tornado, swung himself towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai discovered that the Skeleton King's movements were very unusual. His whole person was continuously brandishing the two axes as he revolved. With the rotation as well as the weight of the axes, the force exerted by each axe was evidently astonishing.
However, at Zhao Hai's level, this kind of attack wasn't a threat. The weight of the weapon itself was useless against Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai waved his sword in order to block the axes.
Bang! A huge force rang through the tang blade. Zhao Hai couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect the strength of the Skeleton King to be this strong. Even with his strength, he could still feel the impact of the attack. If it was any other God-rank expert, then they surely wouldn't be able to receive it.
But what made Zhao Hai feel strange was the fact that the Skeleton King was evidently a very strong God-rank expert. He might have even reached the upper ranks of God-rank. However, the Skeleton King didn't use a Domain, which puzzled Zhao Hai.
Still, the other party wasn't useless even without using a Domain. After blocking the enemy's attack, Zhao Hai's body moved and went on to retreat.
However, the Skeleton King kept attacking Zhao Hai. This was where Zhao Hai discovered that the Skeleton King's revolving attacks weren't only used to amplify his attacks, but it also allowed him to attack repeatedly. Each attack was linked, tightly connected that even if the enemy steps back they would still be met with an attack. Zhao Hai was in this situation. The Skeleton King looked like a tornado spinning towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai saw this situation and knew that he couldn't drag this on. He transformed his tang blade into a huge shield as he placed it in front of him to block.
The Skeleton King didn't expect Zhao Hai to use this move, he didn't think that Zhao Hai's weapon could become this big. But the Skeleton King didn't stop, he continued to revolve towards Zhao Hai, seeking a flaw in his defense.
Zhao Hai held his huge shield on one hand, and suddenly a red blade appeared on the other. The blade had a thick back, making it quite heavy. Naturally, this blade was made from the blood ghost staff. As Zhao Hai grasped his shield, he brandished his blade to attack the Skeleton King.
Finally, the Skeleton King's rhythm was disrupted. At this time, Zhao Hai used his shield to smash towards the Skeleton King. Unable to bear the impact, the Skeleton King drew back several steps. Zhao Hai used this opportunity to jump out of the Skeleton King's range. The shield and blade vanished as they returned to being the blood ghost staff.
Zhao Hai looked at the Skeleton King and smiled, "Your Excellency, I still have some matters to attend to, so I couldn't fight with you for a long time. When I have time later on, I will certainly ask your Excellency for advice." After saying this, his body immediately vanished.
Although they had only fought for a short time, Zhao Hai actually felt that the Skeleton King was very formidable. If he wanted to deal with the Skeleton King, then he would have to exert some effort. Because of this, he chose to retreat.
Since the clash was very short, Lewis and the others were unable to notice anything as they fought with the undead.
Upon seeing Zhao Hai vanish, the Skeleton King's eyes couldn't help but blaze up more vigorously. It can be said that the Skeleton King was truly angered by Zhao Hai. Then he turned to look at Theo's group who were still fighting with the golden undead. The axes disappeared from his hand before he waved to his subordinates. Then a small number of crystal undead flew out and directly threw themselves towards Lewis and the others.
At this point, Lewis and the others could neither run nor fight. Since this was the case, then they could only drag on. They knew that their base wasn't far away. They were hoping that someone would be able to see their situation and send some support. Otherwise, they would surely be in extreme danger.
Fortunately, Lewis' hopes came true. From their base's direction, a thousand magic armors suddenly began to head out.
But at this time, the crystal skeletons were already near and had initiated their attack. This began an exchange that made Theo and the others feel chills. They didn't expect the undead to be this violent, the magic armors were completely unable to block.
In a short time, four magic armors were destroyed by the crystal undead. They fell down to the ground, their pilots certainly dead.
After seeing this situation, Theo immediately made everyone throw every bomb they had. They need to resist these skeletons long enough for their reinforcements to arrive.
In the war tank, Lewis also had a similar type of bomb. He kept launching them to the point of covering the heavens and the earth. These bombs managed to keep the undead off, but they did little to no damage. However, the reinforcements had already arrived, both sides quickly began to fight each other.
With such a large movement, it was impossible for the other O'Neal family members to not notice it. Before long, more and more magic armors and war tanks began to head towards the ensuing battle.
Upon seeing the situation, the Skeleton King returned to his carriage. He knew that continuing wouldn't be good, so he waved his hand causing the undead to retreat. Then they slowly went back to the Dark Mist. Although the O'Neal family wanted to pursue, they didn't do it in the end.
The Skeleton King didn't go too far from the Dark Mist. Before long, his entourage was surrounded by the underworld's fog. There were still some magic armors who decided to head into the dark mist. But since the dark mist amplified the strength of the undead, they could only be destroyed.
The O'Neal family's general saw this situation and immediately ordered a retreat. After returning to their base, he quickly wrote a letter and had it sent to the Patriarch at the quickest speed.
After Zhao Hai returned to the Hell King's ship, Laura immediately went to welcome him. Then she asked, "Brother Hai, how was it? Is that really the Skeleton King? Was he strong?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "He's indeed the Skeleton King, and he's very strong. Even if the Supreme Elders use their ultimate weapons, they might not necessarily be his match. Moreover, I suspect he is just like the O'Neal family. They weren't governed by Lu Wei."
Zhao Hai said this as he entered the room. Lizzy and Megan were currently directing the undead to deal with the Pisces Divines. They were now having a much easier time since they now have a lot more ranged undead. All of these new additions came from the Sagittarius Continent. Now, they were all Zhao Hai's people. The Space also increased their strength. So it was no wonder that the Pisces Divines simply couldn't block their assault.
This was exactly where Zhao Hai's abilities shone when fighting against people. His subordinates would only increase while the enemies number less and less. In this case, he naturally had the upper hand.
Seeing that Lizzy and Megan where wholly absorbed in their task, Zhao Hai decided to not disturb them. He looked for a place to sit down inside the room, then Meg offered him tea to drink. After that Laura said, "Brother Hai, how are you sure that they weren't managed by Lu Wei?"
Zhao Hai replied, "This is just a feeling. It's quite obvious that Lu Wei has handed this plane over to the Divines. Then he used the Divines to conquer other planes. However, the strength of the Underworld is obviously stronger than the Divines. If the Underworld was also under Lu Wei's control, then why would he need to support the Divine Race? A territory only needs one King. If the Underworld was controlled by Lu Wei, and he still supported the Divines, then doesn't it seem wrong? Moreover, have you noticed? The Divines as well as its contemporaries used Domains in order to fight. At the same time, even other races would used Domains during battles. I suspect that this is a feature of the planes being managed by Lu Wei. When I fought against the Skeleton King, he didn't use his Domain." Laura nodded, then she said, "So you mean that since the Divines changed the laws of the Ark Continent, they managed to connect two other planes that weren't under Lu Wei's control?"
Zhao Hai nodded, "That is the most likely case. If that is so, then the Cultivation World might be more complex than we thought. Think about it, Lu Wei forbade anyone from studying magic armors. Magic armors belong to type of technological civilization. From this point, we can roughly infer that Lu Wei had some relationship with people using magic armors, or he might have a hatred against technological civilizations. The case of the Underworld is much more complicated. Almost all energy in the Underworld is dark and toxic. I can remember that there are demonic influences in the Cultivation Realm. And since Lu Wei is from an orthodox sect, he would have a grudge against them. Now that these three planes were connected together, I'm afraid things wouldn't turn out well."
Laura knit her brows and said, "Brother Hai, you mean this thing might cause some chaos in the Cultivation Realm?" Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "As for its effect, I don't know. But from what I can see, since the planes are divided, those who ascend would have a mark of the planes where they came from. And since we have a grudge against Lu Wei, we would be marked by Lu Wei's group when we ascend. I'm afraid that we would be chased down when that time comes."
Laura's expression couldn't help but change upon hearing Zhao Hai. With an anxious voice she said, "Brother Hai, so what do we do? Can we do anything? Will our situation be even more difficult after we ascend?"
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it can only be like this. But I still want to see what happens if we ascend in either the Atlanta Plane or the Underworld. Will we still be marked by Lu Wei? As long as we can temporarily avoid Lu Wei's detection, then with the Space's abilities, we would be able to have a stable foothold in the Cultivation Realm. When the time comes, it would be impossible for Lu Wei to deal with us."
Chapter 943 – The Hard to Deal With Gemini and Aquarius Continents
Laura didn't think that Zhao Hai would have such thoughts. She looked puzzled as Zhao Hai as she asked, "Brother Hai, how did you come up with such ideas?'
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Just after fighting the Skeleton King. The Skeleton King reminded me that the Underworld and the Atlanta Plane weren't managed by Lu Wei. After we ascend, we might not be far from Lu Wei, but we might end up in his enemy. If Lu Wei wanted to deal with us, it won't be very easy."
Laura nodded and said, "That would be the case if that is true. It's worth trying. But Brother Hai, isn't the energy inside your body increasing? With so many things left unsolved, what will happen if you suddenly ascend?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Then I could only count on a reserve plan. I think the Atlanta Plane would be good. Since I had this idea, we might as well pick this direction and go. What we have to do right now is to settle things we needed to settle before we go."
Laura nodded before she turned her head. She looked at Lizzy and Megan's progress in commanding the undead to deal with the Pisces Divines.
Zhao Hai wasn't worried about Lizzy and Megan. Without their Supreme Elder to help, the Pisces Divines could only fall to the undead.
Sure enough, just like what Zhao Hai thought, Lizzy and Megan were able to deal with the Pisces Divines with little effort. At this time, Zhao Hai was carrying a few undead in order to deal with another continent.
Upon seeing that there were no issues in the Pisces Continent, Zhao Hai turned his head to Laura and said, "Since there are no problems in the Pisces Continent, should we go on to the next step?" Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What does Brother Hai plan to do?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Aren't the foreign races sending their army? Since we’re doing well, we should prepare to support them. With the help of the foreign races, we would be able to deal with the Supreme Elders. As long as we dealt with the Supreme Elders, we can then start making a move on the O'Neal family. Now that the Underworld has began to make moves, we need to settle our plans a little bit faster."
Laura nodded then said, "Brother Hai, how about this. Since we have enough numbers in our hands, it would be better for us to attack two Continents at once. This way, we would be able to deal with the Divines as soon as possible. The Leo Continent is currently being left to the foreign races. As long as the Supreme Elders know that the Divines have been extinguished and that the Leo Continent was being conquered by the foreign races, then they will certainly settle accounts with the foreign races. At that time, we can clean them up and take their combat suits."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Then we'll deal with two Continents at once. Right, we need to study the Continent we'll attack next."
As Zhao Hai was researching his next target, the O'Neal family began to worry about one matter.
In the past, they only needed to think about the dark mist's expansion. But now it was different, the undead has started to venture out. Moreover, their fighting strength was very formidable. And this was only a small group! If more of these undead come out, how would the O'Neal family deal with it?
It was because of this that the people in the Aksu Empire's defensive line immediately sent a letter to the family. And while waiting for the family's reply, the defensive line became even more careful. The patrols sent at night had increased a lot.
They were clear that the undead would have reduced strength during the day. But in night, they would be strengthened. The undead that came out this time went out during the day, and the O'Neal family already had difficult time dealing with them. If they came out during the night, how powerful would they be?
The O'Neal family's northern defensive line became more vigilant than before. They didn't want to fall under the undead's blade.
Sending reports back to the O'Neal family was now faster than before. This was due to the Patriarch's arrangements. Between the northern defensive line and the Divine Realm's spatial rift were a lot supply stations. They could now send magic armors to send their letters since they could just resupply at these supply stations.
The reason why the Patriarch did this was because they need to make the communication more convenient. The Patriarch knew too well how important communication was when it came to the family's operations.
When the letter reached his table, the Patriarch couldn't help but get stunned. He never thought that an accident would happen in the northern defensive line this soon. This caused the final hesitation on his heart to disappear.
When he received Axe's report, the Patriarch still had some reservations. Must they really risk moving their operation to the plane that Axe discovered? In any case, they already found their enemy in that plane. If they left the Ark Continent now, wouldn't it be a waste? But this letter finally made the Patriarch determined to shift the family's focus to the south.
The reason why the O'Neal Patriarch thought about this was because their headquarters was already much closer to the south. Therefore, it would be fine to shift the family's focus there. Additionally, the Dark Mist had become much more dangerous. The Patriarch also knew that there seem to be no immediate danger in the plane that Axe discovered. Moreover, that plane was much bigger than the Ark Continent, which was important for the O'Neal family.
Therefore, upon receiving the news from the north, the Patriarch immediately sent a family elder in order to observe the plan that Axe discovered.
The Patriarch was still quite worried about Axe. After all, Axe wasn't very successful in the beginning. He just listened to Zhao Hai's words and returned home prematurely. He didn't take the time and see the Ark Continent for himself. If he made the effort to scout the Ark Continent beforehand, the O'neal family would not have been in an embarrassing situation in the beginning.
Although he had decided to develop the south, the O'Neal family didn't relax their surveillance over the northern part of the continent. The undead were too strong, the O'Neal family needed to be careful.
Just as the O'Neal family was preparing to move to the Divine Realm, the foreign races arrived at the Leo Continent. Recently, the atmosphere of the Leo Continent was becoming more and more tense. Ever since Zhao Hai's attack, the Leo Divines have always waited for him to come back. Once he did, they would surely teach him a lesson.
However, Zhao Hai didn't go to the Leo Continent, instead he destroyed the other continents one by one. This caused the Leo Divines to feel even more terrified. They didn't expect Zhao Hai to be this strong.
But the Leo Continent didn't forget that they were members of the Divine Race. This caused the fire inside them to blaze more and more. As they were preparing to go all out against Zhao Hai, the foreign races' attack came.
The Divines and the foreign races had a grudge, but just as the Leo Divines weren't having a good time, the foreign races came to attack. This made the Leo Divines even more angry. A great battle between the foreign races and the Leo Divines quickly ensued.
The foreign race army was a coalition between three continents. They numbered more than 50 million in total. And since the Leo Divines had the territorial advantage, they already had an army prepared. Additionally, compared to the the foreign races, the Leo Divines had the help of the Fishman race. Because of this, both sides were at fairly equal states.
Naturally, Zhao Hai was aware of this situation. At this point, besides the Leo Continent, only the Gemini Continent and the Aquarius Continent was left, the other Continents were destroyed by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was now preparing to deal with the two remaining continents.
After carefully researching the Gemini and Aquarius Continents, Zhao Hai discovered that they were the most difficult continents to deal with.
It wasn't strange for Zhao Hai to just know about this at this time. He didn't know much about the Divine Realm. He was unaware about the various groups in the Divine Realm and what they were good at. It was only after he met these people did he know their abilities.
The Gemini and Aquarius Continents were difficult to deal with because they had their own unique abilities. The Gemini Divines were really worthy of their name. The number of twins in the Gemini Continent was much higher compared to the other continents. In ten households, five of them would have twins as their offsprings. It was a quite surprising statistic.
Because these twins grew together and trained together, they were able to have a tacit understanding about each others' abilities. This boosted their strengths compared to any other paired groups. Because of this, the Gemini Divines were very well known to be very hard to fight against.
On the other hand, the Aquarius Divines were also quite formidable. They don't have a lot of twins, but what made the Aquarius Divines very hard to deal with were their extreme talent for potions. They had potions that were very strange and unusual, with endless functions and uses. They could poison a person, or heal them, they could enhance one's cultivation or just cure common illnesses. Because of their potions, the Aquarius Divines were known to be people one wouldn't want to provoke. They had a similar status as the Dark Mages back in the Ark Continent.
