Yarra's Adventure Notes-Chapter 1400 - 186 Deity’s Attack

"A turning point?" Lina asked anxiously as she got absorbed in the story again, "What turning point, has Danacus shown any weaknesses? Or have your constant attacks started to take effect?"

"At least at that time, I thought it was a turning point," Pannis said with a self-deprecating laugh, sighing, "Danacus began to counterattack."

"Only starting to counterattack now?" Catherine asked in surprise, "Was he just defending all this time before?"

"No, strictly speaking, aside from Mina’s or Dillie’s attacks, he didn’t even defend, he was merely scoffing at us, our attacks in the early stages were not even worthy of making him defend," Pannis shook his head, "It was only after we kept attacking for so long that he finally started to counterattack."

"No wonder you thought it was a turning point," Catherine nodded, "It’s because he couldn’t hold on anymore and needed to counterattack to relieve the pressure he was under. But that’s not right, why would he wait until then to counterattack? If he really felt the pressure, wouldn’t it be better to counterattack earlier? Or perhaps, was there some concern that prevented him from counterattacking earlier, and only the circumstances forced him to face those concerns and launch a counterattack? Or, there’s another possibility, maybe it was you who showed some weakness, giving Danacus an opportunity, and that’s why he would start attacking without hesitation. Wait, another question, if he didn’t counterattack or defend before, what was he doing? Surely he wasn’t just stupidly standing there, letting you attack him, that kind of behavior is too foolish, he is a... what? Really?"

"Yes, really," Pannis nodded with a bitter smile: "He hardly did anything, just stood there and let us hit him. It had been like that from the start, which made me think wrongly that there was some special reason that he couldn’t counterattack."

"Indeed," Catherine nodded, "Not that he didn’t want to counterattack, but because of some reason, he couldn’t, and had to passively endure your siege. Otherwise, he would have paid a higher price than just enduring your attacks. Only this sort of reason could explain his behavior."

"That’s what I thought, so when he began to counterattack, I felt that it was a turning point," Pannis sighed softly, speaking in a low voice: "At that moment, I was even somewhat excited, thinking we finally saw hope. Actually, not just me, everyone thought about the significance behind his counterattacking behavior, so everyone was excited. Hehe, though his counterattacks made the situation tougher, though everyone was severely beaten by the enemy’s counterattacks, we were somehow happier than before, I must say, it’s quite funny."

"A deity’s attack?" Lina’s eyes clouded slightly, with a hint of longing, she asked, "What kind of attack was it then? Does it differ from our style of combat, or is there something special about it?"

"Special? Of course, very special." Pannis pondered for a moment before explaining, "The deities’ battle is different from what mortals can comprehend, especially when fighting in their own Divine Kingdom, you simply cannot compare it to a mortal’s battle. At least a mortal’s battle doesn’t cause the surrounding space to weirdly crush the enemy, nor can it achieve victory just by imagination."

"What?" Catherine asked blankly, "Just by imagination?"

"Hehe, I figured you wouldn’t understand it, that’s why I hesitated a moment ago," Pannis laughed understandingly and patiently explained, "Let me explain in detail. When we first entered the Divine Kingdom, we realized that in Danacus’s Divine Kingdom, we were under tremendous pressure. This pressure did not come from Danacus, but from his Divine Kingdom itself. Perhaps it was because we harbored strong hostility, so we were being repelled by his Divine Kingdom; everything around us was constantly squeezing us, we could only rely on our shields to stay safe. You see, if you don’t have the strength of a demigod, the shield would have burst under pressure, and then you could only resist with your body. I think, apart from the ancient Triclops with sturdy bodies, only the Guardians could withstand it; other beings would probably be crushed in an instant, not even having a chance to fight."

"Is this... a self-defense mechanism of the Divine Kingdom?" Catherine touched her chin, musing, "Or a kind of attack method by the deity?"

"I don’t know," Pannis shook his head abruptly, "Deities aren’t pasfruits, they aren’t seen everywhere, and I have only fought with a deity this one time; too few samples, no chance for comparison, so I can’t give you a definite answer. However, I have heard that it seems to be somewhere between the two, this attack method can be actively used by deities, and at the same time, it has solidified into the Divine Kingdom’s self-defense mechanism."

"Heard?" Lina sharply picked up on an issue, "How could you hear about such a secret?"

"Yes," Pannis nodded, "I heard about it just a few hours ago."

"Oh, Mr. Saen, so silly, I forgot about him," Lina tapped her head as a form of self-punishment: "So, you had a secretive meeting with Saen and Shiela to exchange experiences about fighting with deities."

"Uh, part of the purpose was indeed to exchange combat experience," Pannis nodded, "Opportunities to fight with deities are too rare, any relevant experience is incredibly valuable, so I needed to understand every detail of their battles with Danacus as much as possible, perhaps, this is the key to victory."

"Hmm, so the pressure you faced at that time was indeed the hostility of the Divine Kingdom itself," Catherine pondered, saying, "Compared to mortals, deities are indeed very powerful, merely by the existence of the Divine Kingdom itself, they can kill most of the mortal enemies who dare to harbor hostility; from a mortal’s perspective, this is an unimaginable capability."

"Yes, that’s exactly it, the gap between deities and mortals is not so easily bridged," Pannis said, "Moreover, this is just the Divine Kingdom itself dealing with hostility, the results produced when deities actually attack are even more terrifying than the hostility of the Divine Kingdom itself."

"Is it what you said about just using imagination?" Catherine asked, puzzled, "I can’t understand this explanation at all."

"Yes, just by imagination," Pannis nodded, "I see you, I decide how much energy I want to use to attack you, from which angle I want to attack, and then, you receive the attack."
