Alisa’s thoughts were not unknown to Fang Li, and he could guess the general idea.
So, Fang Li smiled faintly and said, “Actually, at that time, I did reach my limit.”
The burden Stigma placed on the soul was unexpectedly immense.
Originally, Fang Li thought he could use it for a longer period, but as time went on, the burden of Stigma grew increasingly heavy. In the end, it felt as if sharp needles were constantly piercing his head, causing unimaginable pain. Waves of agony flowed through his soul, distorting his vision, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
If it hadn’t been for Fang Li continuously using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, firmly capturing Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)’s Death Line, he most likely wouldn’t have been able to land a hit on Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), even if he comprehended Flashing Scabbard and activated Moonlight Dagger’s Shadow Effect.
When Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) entered its berserk state and unleashed that red lightning, Fang Li would have been immobilized.
“But I still had enough strength for one more strike.” Fang Li spoke as if discussing someone else’s situation and said, “So, at that moment, if Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) had really charged at me, I would have dragged it to hell with me before dying.”
In other words, Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) did manage to cheat death.
If Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) hadn’t chosen to retreat, the final result would have been Fang Li piercing through its core with his final strike.
Of course, this also meant that, under the circumstances, Fang Li would have undoubtedly suffered a fatal blow if Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) had chosen to fight.
Therefore, the ultimate outcome would have been either both sides living or both sides dying together.
It was easy to imagine just how brutal the battle with Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) was.
“I can only say that I lost out a bit this time,” Fang Li concluded.
“This battle came too suddenly. I really didn’t expect Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) to appear in a place like this.”
Although Alisa had mentioned before that due to Aphrodite’s ability, Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) Dyaus might also be attracted and drawn to her location, leading to an encounter with Fang Li.
However, Fang Li didn’t share the same belief.
Firstly, while Aphrodite did release hormones that could attract Aragami, it didn’t necessarily mean that all Aragami would gather around her; they were meant to head toward the Russian Branch.
Therefore, finding Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) in the vast ocean of Aragami wasn’t such an easy task.
Secondly, Alisa might not be aware, but Fang Li knew that Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) possessed a very high level of intelligence and power, reaching Rank 4. Aragami like the Fallen Species, with high intelligence, was much harder to control.
If there was only one Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), Aphrodite, as a Deusphage Species Aragami, could probably control it. But with such a large number of Aragami already under Aphrodite’s control, attempting to control a powerful Aragami like Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) Dyaus would lower the success rate significantly.
Considering this, Fang Li didn’t believe that Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) would appear here.
However, Fang Li forgot one thing that he realized just now.
“Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) is inherently bloodthirsty and savage. It doesn’t only hunt humans but also enjoys hunting its own kind.” Fang Li explained, “So, even without being attracted, for Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), this place is a suitable hunting ground. So, it’s not surprising for it to come here.”
As a result, Fang Li and Alisa ended up encountering this evil Aragami, and it was hard to say whether it was because of Fang Li’s bad luck, Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)’s bad luck, or a combination of both.
Otherwise, after the fierce battle, Fang Li wouldn’t have ended up in such a state, and Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) wouldn’t have had almost half its face cut off.
“This grudge has been settled,” Fang Li maintained a smile on his face, but there was no trace of amusement in his eyes as he uttered these words.
“I hope I don’t encounter it again next time. Otherwise, I will definitely kill it,” He said.
Hearing these words, Alisa’s expression became even more complex.
“Why?” Fang Li looked at Alisa’s complicated expression and asked, “Don’t you want me to steal your prey?”
“Prey?” Alisa couldn’t help but chuckle self-deprecatingly and said, “I am no match for Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father). I would be its prey.”
As she spoke, three images involuntarily surfaced in Alisa’s mind.
One was the scene of herself choosing to become a God Eater, wielding the New-Type God Arc, in order to seek revenge and escape her own weakness and powerlessness.
Another was the image of her parents being devoured in front of her, leaving only the wicked and cold face of Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father).
The last one was the image of herself lying in front of her enemy, facing the disdainful and mocking expression of the other party.
These three images kept alternating in Alisa’s mind, causing her to clutch her head, feeling as if she was trapped in a nightmare, experiencing excruciating pain.
Just as Alisa was about to scream in agony, a hand quietly reached out and held hers and Alisa was instantly taken aback, she raised her head and looked at Fang Li.
Fang Li met Alisa’s gaze, his hand tightly gripping hers. With an extremely calm expression, he made this declaration.
“Don’t worry, you can become even stronger. There’s no need to fear your own weakness.”
Fang Li’s voice resounded clearly in Alisa’s ears, penetrating her heart.
“To tell you the truth, there is nothing in this world that I cannot kill, even Aragami.”
“So, if you truly feel afraid, don’t worry. I will kill your fears for you.”
“And as for you, all you need to do is move forward towards your goals. That will be enough.”
Saying so, Fang Li slowly revealed a smile.
It was the same gentle smile he had shown when facing Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father).
In such a situation, Fang Li spoke up.
“Trust me, I am also very reliable.”
When these words entered Alisa’s ears, she was completely stunned, and she stared at Fang Li without any reaction for a long time.
However, the pain in her head and the anguish in her mind gradually began to dissipate.
Then, Alisa couldn’t help but grip Fang Li’s hand in return, looking at him with eyes devoid of the previous pressure and coldness, replaced by indescribable emotions.
The atmosphere between Fang Li and Alisa, which had been tense and unnatural, gradually transformed into warmth, causing the two of them to keep gazing at each other, remaining speechless for a long time.
