Chapter 493 One Second
“Professor, you’re going to crush them!” Nancy called out.
A beam of light poured into Joanna. That was the orator’s amplification.

The boost itself wasn’t enormous, not against Joanna’s spirit stat, but it sharpened her focus and stoked something hot in her chest.
On an ordinary professional, Nancy’s buff would’ve had them ready to charge through a wall. On Joanna, it just made her want to hit something harder.
“Sanctified Light’s Blessing!” Ansel followed it up immediately, wrapping Joanna in a shell of holy light.
Smart move. Land a skill on the kill and you’re technically part of the combat. Experience sharing kicked in from there. XP leeching was like fine art.
Joanna knew exactly what they were doing. A few years ago she’d been doing the same thing to Helen and Francis. Now it was her turn to be leeched from. Honestly, fair enough.

In such a short time, her strength had reached the point where she could truly stand against gods.
She swept her spirit sense across the battlefield and found Helen within seconds, and saw the spider.
Nightmare race. One of the Myriad-Race Alliance’s own, turning on humans in direct violation of the inter-race covenant.
“You broke the rules first. Don’t blame me for what comes next.”
The Nightmare Spider God was locked in combat with Helen, who had her eyes shut. Hastor’s eyes were open, but half its tendrils were thrashing erratically, something interfering with its control.
Helen had been pulled into a dream state. Even a fraction of a second was enough for the Nightmare race to do damage, and she was losing ground fast.
Joanna blinked onto the spider’s back.
Several of the Nightmare Spider God’s eyes rotated independently to look at her.
“What is this insect? You dare touch me? Die.”
“You first.”
She activated Leon’s ability.
Absolute Stillness.
Time-type skills were simply broken. It froze the Nightmare Spider God solid for one second. One second was nothing. But for Joanna, one second was all she needed to put it down.
Joanna shifted into giant hamster form and bit straight into one of the spider’s eyes. The eyeball burst on contact. She drilled through the socket and in.

The Nightmare Spider God screamed.
It drove its own spider legs into the ruined eye socket, trying to dig her back out.
Then the force detonated from inside its body.
“No. No. No. No.”
The explosion hit like a collapsing star.
Alwyn’s Stellar Tempest, fed by every law-tier modifier she’d stripped from the Deadwhisper Continent. was operating at a scale that was genuinely difficult to quantify.
The Nightmare race had always been physically fragile. It hadn’t even had time to process what was happening before it was gone.
“System Alert You have killed a Nightmare Race Demon God.
Sysjem Alert: Your level has increased by 1.
System Alert: Your God Devourer title has advanced by I.
System Alert: Mission completed xl. Please select any Mythic-tier law modifier.
Reward: 30% EXP.”
Joanna selected Charm (Mythic-tier modifier) without hesitating.
The system processed the reward instantly.
Maybe the Space Alliance itself understood what this battle meant. The system had been running at full capacity since the fight started, pushing every available resource toward the human side.
Losing 11% of the universe’s Mythic-level professionals in a single engagement wasn’t something the Alliance could absorb. If the front line collapsed here, the rest followed.
With the Nightmare Spider God down, the neural interference it had been broadcasting across the battlefield broke apart.
The others had been hit by the Nightmare Spider God’s interference. Even that brief 0.1-second dream state had sent them stumbling back
Lucky for them, the god had focused most of its attention on Helen. Otherwise the rest would have lared far worse.
