Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2735: 1502: Calm Before the Downpour

“Never mind. We just clashed with ‘Corrosion’ yesterday; there's no chance we'd uncover their scheme.”
“Based on the schedule, the next round of ‘Corrosion’ assaults is almost upon us. The top priority right now is to swiftly hand out the Divine Stone Weapons.”
Inside the temple lounge, Leo Ray considered this point, then promptly faced Old Book and declared, “I believe the City Lord has realized I'm a Chosen Son of God too. During the night, I stumbled upon a divine message from the Deity, and upon awakening, I obtained this.”
At that moment, Leo Ray turned over his hand, passing a Storage Ring packed with three hundred Divine Stone Weapons to the other man.
Given that the fellow doubled as the temple's High Priest, this rationale proved the ideal cover.
After all, it made perfect sense for that guiding voice to pull our band of heroes here in a haze, only to supply a batch of Divine Stone Weapons afterward, didn't it?
“Oh?”
Old Book took the Storage Ring with clear bewilderment, and as he probed the enormous stash of Divine Stone Weapons inside, his wrinkled elderly eyes bulged in shock, “Lord Brave, this is… ?!”
With a mental command, Old Book called forth a tidy lineup of Tier 6 Divine Stone Weapons onto the lengthy table in the lounge, instantly bathing the space in radiant splendor.
Seeing this sight, our powerhouses, who knew full well the immense worth of Divine Stone Weapons, all gaped in astonishment, their expressions brimming with utter amazement.
Moli stood out in particular, her wide eyes nearly bursting forth, leaving her temporarily at a loss for words.
Remember, wielding Divine Stone Weapons lets our powerhouses fend off ‘Corrosion’ independently, without needing the shared strength from a God’s Stone bearer. Even in our territory, these count as priceless godly tools!
“Exactly three hundred in total, matching the count of Divine Stone Weapons held in the Royal Capital!”
Old Book's emotions surged so intensely that tears gathered in his eyes, his mouth quivering as he addressed Leo Ray, “Lord Brave, did the Deity bestow all these upon you?”
“Indeed, He encouraged us to press on and protect this city side by side.”
Leo Ray rubbed his nose and answered, “Maybe He recognized our struggles against ‘Corrosion’ the day before, or perhaps your devoted prayers and bravery moved Him.”
“Praise the Deity!”
Old Book dropped to his knees at once and started revering the statue within the lounge.
Once he stood back up, he gazed at Leo Ray, his heart pounding with thrill as he offered a salute, “It must be your presence, Lord Brave, that prompted the Deity to show such a wonder. Clearly, you carry the Deity's special favor!”
“Yet if this fellow truly holds the Deity's blessing, why did we get pulled into this mess so strangely?”
Moli clearly doubted Leo Ray's account, murmuring, “Besides, you're the one who prayed so earnestly; shouldn't the wonder have shown up for you first?”
Still, after pondering it more, Moli soon decided Leo Ray's explanation held water.
In the end, this man had produced such an enormous haul of Divine Stone Weapons. If not a divine wonder, how could he manage that? They couldn't just materialize from nowhere, could they?
With everyone in the room buzzing with excitement, Moli's quiet grumble escaped Old Book's notice and passed as just a small aside.
Before long, she fully set her suspicions aside too, since the influx of these Divine Weapons promised a massive leap for our forces!
“Very well, ask the City Lord to spread out the Divine Stone Weapons right away. I've got extras to pass directly to the powerhouses in my group.”
Leo Ray offered a small nod to the fired-up Old Book, adding, “The fight looms close; time is short for us.”
“Lord Brave speaks true; I'll handle it without delay!”
Old Book bobbed his head vigorously, then hurried from the lounge.
What followed needs no recounting: the City Guard brimmed with renewed vigor and deep thanks upon getting their Divine Stone Weapons. Old Book even called a dedicated assembly, essentially placing Leo Ray on a pedestal like a god, bordering on outright adoration.
In the midst of this, Leo Ray handed out Divine Stone Weapons, assigning one each to Old Nick, Kara, and Calvin.
The remaining ones went straight to arming our carried Alchemy Puppets, markedly enhancing our collective strength versus ‘Corrosion.’
Right as we wrapped up the preparations, the massive ‘Corrosion’ horde rolled in like an overwhelming flood, resurfacing near the Underground Fortress and swiftly encircling it completely.
Its sheer size obviously dwarfed yesterday's assault by over a notch.
From afar, the subterranean fortress, buried far underground, appeared to sink into a void, swarming with floating colossal eyeballs, while waves of dread crashed over like raging storms.
Positioned once more on the Fortress City Wall from the prior day, Leo Ray sensed the chilling, piercing vibe, his gaze gleaming with sacred glow.
Back on the previous day, this setup would spell serious trouble.
Today, however, over 50 Divine Stone Weapon users lined each segment of the Fortress City Wall at key spots, rendering our defenses against ‘Corrosion’ far superior to before.
Despite the swelling assurance, Leo Ray channeled inner power to quell the terror induced by the adversaries, for these enemies proved profoundly frightening indeed.
