In fact, from the moment Lin Mo came out of the Princess Tomb with Divine Advent Seraph Siya and removed the suppression of his Judgment power, Nether already knew, he had no chance of defeating Lin Mo.
So he had given up resisting long ago.
What shocked Nether, and what he couldn't understand, was, 'This pet of his, Divine Advent Seraph, not only has group control immunity, it even has resurrection abilities?'
'But why did he kill me, then use his pet to revive me?'
That's right. Nether's resurrection on the spot was because of Lin Mo.
Through the battle notifications, Nether also understood what had happened—
[Ding~ Divine Advent Seraph · Siya used the skill Heavenly Blessing · Holy Light Healing, restoring 139,658 HP to you and granting a Resurrection Mark (if you die within 12 hours, you will revive on the spot at full health)]
[Ding~ Player Rulebound used the skill Ice and Snow · Extreme Cold Grasp, dealing 368,544 critical damage to you. You have died!]
[Ding~ Resurrection Mark has taken effect. You have revived!]
At this moment, Lin Mo lowered Wrath of Thunder.
He said to Nether, "You can go."
The moment those words came out, Ling Xue was stunned, "He was just trying to kill you! Lin Mo, are you sure you're letting him leave?"
"If you don't get rid of him now, there'll be endless trouble later."
Ning Xi's attitude was completely different from Ling Xue's.
No matter what, she would never doubt Lin Mo's decisions.
"If Brother Lin Mo is doing this, he must have a reason."
Even Nether himself found Lin Mo's decision unbelievable.
"You're really not going to kill me?"
"The next time we meet, we'll still be enemies."
"You can go."
Lin Mo said firmly, "I said I won't kill you, so I won't."
Nether didn't waste words.
He only looked deeply at Lin Mo.
Then he gave up clearing the dungeon and chose to leave.
As the ten-second countdown ended...
Whoosh!
Nether turned into a beam of white light and disappeared from the Divine Tomb dungeon.
Lin Mo became even more certain: The "boss" above Chen Jun and Zhang Long wasn't Nether.
There was someone else behind them.
And Nether, like Chen Jun and Zhang Long, was being controlled by that boss.
It wasn't hard to imagine: In his previous life, that boss had never approached Nether.
In this life, in order to deal with Lin Mo, the boss found Nether and changed his history.
Lin Mo could even guess that the reason Nether had awakened the second potential of his SSS-rank hidden class, Judge, so quickly in this life was probably because of that boss.
For a moment, Lin Mo's curiosity about this "boss" reached its peak.
'Who exactly is this boss?'
'Why is he going to such lengths to target me?'
'And how did he make someone like Nether, an SSS-rank hidden class holder, willingly work for him?'
'And how did he awaken Nether's second class potential, something Ning Xi searched for years in the previous life without success?'
It seemed that if he wanted to discover the boss's identity, he would still have to start with Nether.
But Lin Mo had already asked him just now, and Nether had remained silent.
There was probably some reason for it.
This matter couldn't be rushed. Otherwise, it could very well harm Nether.
Lin Mo still didn't believe that the man who had devoted everything to protecting Dragon Nation in the previous life, and who had willingly died to protect Ning Xi, would, in this life, casually kill other players and steal their talents for his own benefit.
There had to be something in that boss's hands that he couldn't escape from.
If Lin Mo had crippled Nether just now, not only would Dragon Nation lose one of its future pillars, he would also personally destroy the only clue that could reveal the boss's identity.
That was why, before killing Nether, Lin Mo had Divine Advent Seraph Siya use a healing skill to place a Resurrection Mark on him.
[T/N: FUCK YOU too! Everything was going great and here comes the usual dosage of patriotism with a hint of stupidity.]
As for why he still had to kill him once, it was to release all the talents he had stolen from other players.
At this moment, Lin Mo shifted his focus back to Divine Advent Seraph Siya.
Holy!
Majestic!
Exalted!
Siya showed Lin Mo what a true god was.

[Divine Advent] (Exclusive Talent of Divine Advent Seraph · Siya)
Quality: Ancestral
Role: Support · Healer
Talent Effect 1: Every time Siya restores health to an ally, there is a 100% chance to also apply a Resurrection Mark (targets with a Resurrection Mark can revive at full health with no penalties if they die within 12 hours; Siya can trigger a Resurrection Mark on the same target at most once every 12 hours)
Talent Effect 2: Every time Siya grants a buff to an ally, there is a 100% chance to also apply an Undying Mark (targets with an Undying Mark can block one fatal attack within 12 hours; Siya can trigger an Undying Mark on the same target at most once every 12 hours)
Talent Effect 3: Siya herself, along with all allies within a 50-yard radius, is immune to all control effects (including suppression-type effects)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Compared to an ordinary Ancestral-grade Divine Advent Seraph, Siya, who possessed royal blood of the God Clan and was also Ancestral grade, had undergone a complete transformation in strength.
The essence of their talents was the same.
However, an ordinary Divine Advent Seraph only had a 1% chance to apply a Resurrection Mark when healing allies, and only a 1% chance to apply an Undying Mark when buffing allies.
Siya increased both probabilities to 100%.
Every heal or buff would definitely apply Resurrection and Undying.
More importantly, the former could only trigger once every 12 hours, meaning only one person could be resurrected and one person could receive the Undying effect every 12 hours.
The latter could trigger once every 12 hours for each target.
That meant she could apply Resurrection and Undying to multiple targets at the same time.
One could imagine: When guild wars, Divine Oracle Descends, or national wars began in the future, players from other guilds and countries would only have one life on the battlefield.
But Lin Mo's guild, the players of Dragon Nation, as long as they received the marks before battle, everyone on the battlefield would have two lives plus death immunity.
It was an incredibly terrifying thing.
As for the ordinary Divine Advent Seraph that Lin Mo had evolved earlier.
Oh, Lin Mo turned it into a pill and fed it to Siya.
Otherwise, Siya wouldn't have reached level 65 so quickly.
At this moment, Ning Xi ran over and asked, "Brother Lin Mo, how did you tame Princess Siya? Did you just capture her?"
"No," Lin Mo said, "She joined willingly."
It turned out that inside the Princess Tomb, after Lin Mo triggered and accepted the S-rank hidden quest [Heart Knot], Siya was revived by the system and formed a contract with Lin Mo, becoming his pet.
When he first obtained Siya, her quality was Legendary.
Just below Mythical and Ancestral. Combined with the royal bloodline of the God Clan, the supreme race of the Divine Oracle world flowing through her body, she was already considered the peak divine pet in the eyes of ordinary players.
But Lin Mo still wasn't satisfied.
So he directly used his SSS-rank talent, Soul Flame, to evolve Siya from Legendary grade to the highest level, Ancestral grade.
However, the current contract was only temporary.
If Lin Mo wanted Siya to permanently become his pet, he had to complete the [Heart Knot] quest.
Otherwise, not only would Siya die forever, Lin Mo himself would also be placed on the God Clan's blacklist.
