The sky above the celestial city split open like a rotten fruit, bleeding divine lightning as Luo Feng and his army of misfits breached the gates.
The Assault Teams:
Death Queen's Division: A swarm of poisoned love letters fluttering toward enemy lines. ("Darling, open this and die romantically.")
Li Qing's Frost Vanguard: Glaciers rising on command, staircases of ice forming and shattering in tactical precision.
Varkus' Thunder Rebels: Disgruntled ex-gods hurling insults (and lightning) at their former bosses.
And then there was Luo Feng, sprinting straight for the Gods' Council Chamber, his Eclipse Core buzzing like a live wire.
THE CHECK-IN
The chamber doors were sealed with "Divine Bureaucracy Lock #9"—a puzzle of paperwork and celestial signatures.
Luo Feng rolled his eyes. "Check-In."
[DING! Location: Gods' Council Chamber]
[Reward: Lightning VE - True Form Unlocked]
[Warning: This Will Hurt]
His nervous system exploded into living power lines, veins surging with raw voltage. For three glorious seconds, he wasn't a man—he was a walking storm, every synapse a lightning strike.
Side Effects Included:
His hair stood straight up, defying gravity (and dignity).
His shadow stole the Council's sacred gavel mid-blackout.
The Sky Father's throne short-circuited.
THE AFTERSHOCK
As the Lightning VE stabilized:
Death Queen's Review: "Darling, you're glowing. And not just with my poison."
Li Qing's Assessment: "Try not to electrocute yourself." (Too late.)
Varkus' Approval: "Ha! Now that's how you piss off the establishment!"
[New Ability: Neural Overdrive]
Think faster than lightning.
Move like a thunderclap.
Downside: Randomly shocks people when nervous.
The Pantheon's alarms blared.
"INTRUDER IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER! HE'S—wait, is he looting the snack bar?"
Luo Feng grinned, mouth crackling with static.
"Oops."
