The means of a Holy Spirit were essentially the same as those of gods. The only difference lay in the strength of their power.
This meant that, so long as the Holy Spirits were well-prepared and cleverly made use of appropriate means, they would, in fact, be able to deal with the gods and make them fall prey to their tricks.
Take today, for example. Two Holy Spirits had successfully tricked the two great Divine Powers, Sui Xiong and Wenner. Whether it was Sui Xiong or Wenner, none had expected these two Holy Spirits to be resolute to such a degree. These Holy Spirits had immediately launched the means of self-destruction the moment they knew that Sui Xiong and Wenner had found traces of them. So within an instant, the clue was destroyed, thus making it impossible for anyone to further investigate the matter.
