However, Roddy was faced with a problem after all. Although the power of the artifact was strong, it was still unfamiliar to him. It was like a toddler waving a hundred-pound hammer. He could not control it freely. However, since the buff would disappear in a minute, the only thing he could do was to solve everything in front of him as soon as possible!
The "Knight" in the suit seemed to have expected this. He glanced over calmly. Roddy felt the abyss-like aura behind him. Roddy, who already had the power of a god, immediately understood that the other party was also a god!
The deputy captain's expression did not change, but his actions were extremely decisive. The halo above his head disappeared, and his body slumped to the ground. A ball of light shot straight into the sky. Obviously, the god's "doppelganger" was planning to escape.
However, "Knight" moved faster than him. With a raise of his hand, countless huge barriers flashing with white light appeared in the sky, greatly slowing down the speed of the ball of light. At the same time, Roddy firmly gathered all the power he could control as if he had a tacit understanding. His figure rushed toward the sky without hesitation.
He did not release any spells, but his body quickly streaked across the space. According to the laws of physics, Roddy's body would inevitably generate a lot of heat due to the friction with the air. When he exceeded the speed of sound, there would also be a sonic boom and water vapor. However, in fact, Roddy's clothes did not even sway in the wind. This was because at this moment, Roddy had directly come into contact with the "law" of the world.
The state of a "god" was not something ordinary people could understand. It could even be said that at this time, Roddy had "jumped out of the three realms and not in the five elements." He had both left the world and become the world. After possessing the power of the artifact, Roddy's vision, wisdom, and level of thinking had become extraordinary.
He firmly approached the ball of light that was trying to escape. He did not look at "Knight" who was sweating profusely, nor did he look at Kardashian who had fallen not far away.
The pure but unparalleled power gathered at his fingertips. However, after approaching the ball of light, his eyes looked at the sky in the distance.
Touch the law, understand the law, control the law …
Then, he would erase the enemy from this world.
Roddy's eyes had already lost focus, but he still continued to move forward. The power condensed in the space produced large amounts of white lightning because of the constant collisions, instantly enveloping everything.
"You broke the rules!"
An unfamiliar voice struggled loudly, but as the light shone, everything between heaven and earth seemed to come to an abrupt halt …
The powerful energy soared into the sky, and after reaching a certain boundary, it suddenly disappeared from sight, as if it had pierced through some kind of barrier.
The rumbling thunder spread out, and the clouds that almost turned the world into night suddenly dissipated. The shackles between heaven and earth were completely broken, and everything became completely bright.
The one-minute buff timer quickly ended, and when the sky returned to blue again, there was a sudden fluctuation in the sky — the influence of the "Viper's Kiss" disappeared. Kardashian, who was trying hard to get up, Roddy, who was standing on the ground, and "Knight" with a calm expression returned to their original appearance of ordinary people at the same time.
Roddy reached out and touched his cheek. Before this, he was an ordinary otaku living in the imperial capital in the eyes of others, but after the power of the gods disappeared, he had completely turned into the appearance of the city lord of Elsen.
The sand and dust in the desert had stopped, and only the sound of the propellers circling back could be heard. Kardashian, who had returned to her human form when she was blown away, ran back wearing a robe of elemental condensation. She was not clear about the situation. Although she no longer had the power of the Dragons, she still gritted her teeth and prepared to fight hand-to-hand in front of Roddy.
"Knight" looked at her with interest and said in the dragon language, "I didn't expect to meet someone from my hometown here."
This sentence stunned Kardashian.
But Roddy already knew his identity. He retracted his gaze from the surrounding wilderness and bowed respectfully, "Hello, Your Excellency Colsius."

"Cough, cough …"
Amidst the violent coughing, Sally suddenly opened her eyes — when the energy of the "Viper's Kiss" was absorbed, her entire senses were blocked, and boundless darkness imprisoned her in a dark space. And when all her senses suddenly recovered, Sally choked on her own saliva for the first time, coughing so hard that her face was a little pale …
Her legs were weak, and she almost knelt on the ground, but she was quickly supported by Akasha. The exhausted Sally leaned on Akasha, and for a moment, she was in a trance. After a few seconds, she realized where she was, and involuntarily said, "Roddy, how is Roddy?"
The surrounding crystal walls showed that it was already dark outside, but the owner of this Magic Tower still did not appear. Sally looked around, and when she retracted her gaze, she was shocked by Akasha in front of her — this priest had always had long chestnut hair, but at this time, most of it had become a dazzling white …
Her eyes were originally black, but now there was a silver ring around them as if they were penetrated. If not for her slightly frowning brows and somewhat nervous words, Sally almost thought that she was an undead creature!
"Edith did not appear — did you feel anything?"
"I can't see the situation inside the prison."
Sally said while staring at Akasha, which made the latter a little puzzled, "Is there something on my face?"
Duke, who was in her arms, stretched out his hand and held up her long hair. The dazzling white color also surprised Akasha herself … But at this time, she did not care about her own condition at all, and said, "I will help you to sit at the side — by the way, where is your scepter?"
Both of them turned their heads at the same time to look at the white scepter inserted in the core slot. The "Viper's Kiss" looked no different from before, but when Sally looked down at her arm, she realized that the power of the three vipers had weakened a lot, and it was even difficult to materialize them …
She did not know what effect she had achieved by paying such a big price. Edith did not appear, and after thinking for a while, she did not take the scepter. She just sat at the side with Akasha's help.
"Thank you …"
Akasha shook her head, indicating that there was no need to be polite. Although it was just a normal action, Sally was inexplicably touched by her white hair — for a moment, the two did not know what to say. After waiting for a few minutes, Edith finally appeared, and the latter seemed to be a little emotional, "He is still alive … He is still alive …"
This sentence made Akasha stand up suddenly, and the original desolate expression on her face was swept away. "Really?"
"I don't know the specifics, but when I entered the second time, I did see that he was not dead!"
Edith also lost her composure, not just because of Roddy's "resurrection", but because she felt the aura of two "gods" when she was observing the prison, and she also saw the power of the artifact, Roddy actually defeated one of them!
She could not continue to stay there to observe, but before leaving the "time tunnel", Edith could feel that this "time and space prison" had suddenly been cut off from the other planes … In other words, the "Lord of Time and Space" who controlled these prisons had lost control of it.
"What does this mean?"
After listening to these things from Edith, the excited Sally asked aloud.
"This means that he finally won the battle with the god — from now on, this prison will not be consciously closed. As long as Roddy can meet the conditions, he can come back safely!"
Edith's deduction was reasonable, and then she saw the silver-haired Akasha, and was stunned. "Magic power invasion?"
This term was not understood by Sally and Akasha, but Edith suddenly understood the reason — after learning of Roddy's "death", Akasha only wanted to use Necromancy to resurrect him, so she made the request to "bring him back".
And after this idea was deeply rooted in her mind, as a "priest", her view of "divine arts" and "Necromancy" changed dramatically because of the drastic change in her mentality. "Magic power invasion" was an extremely rare situation, and under normal circumstances, it would lead to extremely dangerous or even fatal results … But now, why did Akasha seem to be fine?
"Magic power invasion will cause severe pain in the head, and the body will feel like it is being torn apart by the power. You … are you really okay?"
Edith suddenly felt that her knowledge as a Grand Arcanist was not enough. It was already ridiculous to witness the battle between Roddy and the god, and now she could actually meet a guy who was safe and sound after the "magic power invasion".
"I don't feel anything," Akasha shook her head.
Akasha shook her head. At this time, she was extremely happy because of the news that "Roddy is alive", and had no mood to feel the difference. In excitement, she even opened her arms and hugged Sally, who was next to her. Not only was the latter not surprised, but she also took the initiative to put her arms around her waist … The two people who were at odds with each other in Elsen City were now crying silently. This scene made Edith a little speechless, and she wanted to continue to ask, but in the end, she did not say anything.
After the two "wives" of Roddy separated from each other, they felt a little strange, as if they just remembered that they were rivals in love, and they looked away in embarrassment. Sally coughed softly and asked aloud, "Then, when can Roddy come back?"
"I can only be sure that the way back is completely clear, and there will be no more obstacles, but I'm afraid the time of return depends on him."
After saying that, Edith breathed a sigh of relief. "After all, I didn't let those crystals down …"
This made Sally and Akasha look at each other and smile, because they both felt the spirit of the contract that Edith showed in the whole "rescue operation". With such a Grand Arcanist willing to stand on Eiffta's side, the future development prospects could already be imagined.
"We've waited for so long. Go eat something and rest for a while. If Roddy comes back, I will inform you immediately."
The atmosphere in the Magic Tower was much more relaxed. Akasha and Sally accepted Edith's suggestion, and after politely saying goodbye, they walked down the Magic Tower side by side. Every time they left the "core room" these days, the two of them were a few steps away from each other, and they had never been so close to each other like today.
Sally, who was walking to the next floor with the scepter in hand, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Akasha, who had her head slightly lowered and had a smile on her face. She said aloud, "Sister Akasha."
"Hmm?"
Raising her eyes, the little priest looked over with some doubt. When Akasha saw Sally's serious expression, she realized that Sally was so serious that she was probably really willing to treat her as a "sister."
"I will call you that from now on, okay?"
Sally had seen the nobles who were the best at acting. Those who were willing to do anything to achieve their goals could act flawlessly if they were wailing. So, she understood even more what Akasha's "magic power invasion" meant, which caused her hair to turn white overnight.
Although 'feelings' were not something that could be compared, she still understood that it was impossible for her to make the other party 'admit defeat'.
"Hmm." Akasha did not hesitate and nodded, then said as they walked, "Sister, what do you want to eat?"
