Apotheosis

Dorothy's words surprised Zen and Elvinia.

The difference between the Soul of Light and the physical body was obviously vast.

Zen had no idea how powerful Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Snake Goddess were on the Other Shore, but at least on Stage Fourteen, there was a world of difference between the Soul of Light and the physical body.

Moreover, Elvinia's purified being body was much stronger than that of a normal creature on the Other Shore.

"I really don't know how you could be so confident," Elvinia sneered, staring at Dorothy.

"Oh, do you want to find out? I can show you," Dorothy snapped in response.

From their tone of voice, it was obvious the two women were raring for a fight.

Zen decided he could no longer just stay silent.

He had never been good at dealing with relationship problems. Back then, the bickering between Margaret and Letitia had also troubled him a lot.

Zen strode over and stood between the two. He faced Dorothy, speaking to her gently, "This place is too dangerous for you. You can come back after Elvinia and I deal with this matter."

"I won't be a burden!" Dorothy retorted stubbornly.

She had always brimmed with confidence, being the renowned talent of the Origin Mountain.

This had only gone unnoticed because she had always been content to just play backup to Zen, who tended to draw all the attention.

She would never stand for being treated like a liability!

"If you don't want to get in the way, then get out of here," said Elvinia.

"Elvinia!" Zen hissed, a warning in his low voice.

Elvinia shrugged and took a step back, looking indifferent.

Zen then turned back to Dorothy. "I have never seen you as a burden. Without your help, I wouldn't have made it this far." He paused, before adding, "Besides, I've seen your door."

While Dorothy and Elvinia were both top women talents in the Oneness Sky Palace, they were different on essential points.

Elvinia was the biological daughter of Flamine and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. She had inherited their bloodline.

On the other hand, it seemed that Dorothy didn't inherit the bloodline of Yasamin. No one had ever mentioned t

sed to prevent anything from leaving the Other Shore.

Swish, swish, swish!

The Tail Insects threw the grass balls through the open wooden doors.

The balls exploded when they landed inside, diffusing a thick green smoke.

Whoever was infected by this smoke would not be able to leave the Other Shore.

Soon, a cloud of thick smoke had filled the wooden building. Just as the members of the Tail Insect race moved to raid the building, a voice came from behind them. "Are you looking for me?"

The Tail Insects were stunned. The few who reacted quickly stomped their legs, causing their Other Shore Power to erupt. They waved the sharp cones in their hands and charged at Zen.

"Too slow."

Zen stood still, not making a move at all.

As the cones came toward him, Zen just twisted slightly, evading them completely.

His hands darted out.

Biff, biff, biff!

He plucked out the approaching creatures' heads, as easily if he were simply picking vegetables.

Every head he plucked off was sent flying in the air. After doing that nine times in a row, Zen stepped back. The bodies of the nine Tail Insects remained standing, even as their heads fell to the ground.

"How disappointing. Are these useless creatures all Master Ghost Scorpion can send to a fight?" Zen shook his head.

Having just witnessed the massacre of their peers, the compound eyes of the other members of the Tail Insect race gleamed with panic.
