Iron Bloodline, Bronze Body, Silver Dignity, and Gold Will. These were the divisions that humans came up with. Every rank was actually the result of countless hardships, blood, and tears.
The Silver and Gold species didn't need to make such divisions at all, because they were born above the so-called Silver and Gold species. In their eyes, dividing power levels so low was no different from dividing ranks for their own children. It was completely unnecessary.
For humans, however, each rank represented the fundamental evolution of a warrior.
Iron Bloodline, Bronze Body — these names explained everything. At this rank, human mages would construct mana circuits within their bodies, while warriors would discover the potential of their physical bodies. Bronze Body also meant "perfect body."
This didn't mean that the physical body was also perfect. Rather, at this rank, ordinary people would no longer be able to discover new power from their own physical bodies.
In that case, what exactly was Silver Dignity? This was something that was worth discussing.
After all, it was completely different from other ranks. Things like "Dignity" were completely incomprehensible.
"Incomprehensible? At this rank, humans can finally maintain their dignity in front of other species. Only at this rank can we be considered to be on the same level, and only then will it be possible to be compared. "
"If you only look at power level, there isn't even a fundamental difference between Silver and Bronze. However, there are some things that can be sensed only at that rank. Silver and Bronze, the peak of mortals and the beginning of inhumans, may not seem to have much of a difference, but it's actually the difference between heaven and earth. "
These descriptions were actually quite vague, but for true Silver powerhouses, they were as natural as breathing and eating.
This was like asking a person how to breathe, how to use their strength, and what tricks they had. Perhaps even if everyone knew how to breathe, they wouldn't be able to explain it.
"Now that I've reached the Silver rank, I finally don't have to worry about being mysteriously killed."
For Silver powerhouses, life force and mental strength were both solid foundational powers. They could create a warrior's Ki, a mage's magic ring, which formed an invisible barrier.
Their effects were different, but at the very least, they could all defend against external attacks. Silver powerhouses were able to form their own personal domains within their physical bodies, which could defend against unnatural powers.
"At least I know how I died. At least I can be cannon fodder. At least I can die with some dignity."
"On a real battlefield, those who aren't Silver-tier aren't even qualified to be cannon fodder. Under the great magic and profound swordsmanship of a Legend, in the Soul World of a Saint, they are as defenseless as rocks, trees, and other inanimate objects. One thought and one look can kill them on the spot. There's no chance of survival. How can they win?"
In that era where many races fought each other, a young Silver who was regarded as a genius by his own clansmen had a face full of helplessness and self-mockery.
"And if the opponent is a God, even if it's just a weak God who has just ascended to Godhood …"
I shouted and gathered my will to form an invisible barrier that isolated the purple-gray Withering God Domain.
"… If I still can't reach the Silver rank, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to see my enemies before I die mysteriously in front of all the Divine Domains."
And when I learned that I was about to face a God-level opponent like Cavendish, I unhesitatingly used up all my Fate Points in order to deal with an opponent with a Divine Domain. At the very least, I couldn't die mysteriously.
And now, Cavendish had left. Felix doubtlessly also possessed a true Divine Domain.
From the moment that he descended, his formless yet tangible Divine Domain had already covered half the city. If anyone used prophecy or detection abilities, they would see that purple-gray smoke everywhere.
This wasn't something that Felix had done intentionally. It was a side effect of his Divine Domain. However, this "side effect" was fatal to the weak.
"Cough, cough!"
The injured people behind me couldn't help but cough up large mouthfuls of blood. That black, filthy blood was only a symptom of their worsening injuries.
"Mom, I feel so bad. I can't breathe."
In a shelter, a yellow-faced girl with dark blue lips begged her mother for help. She wasn't the first to be unable to endure it.
Currently, most of the commoners in the shelter were coughing. Those who were sick suddenly got sick, and those who weren't sick suddenly got sick. Infectious diseases began to spread. The Withering God Domain and the Poison God Domain were leading them towards death.
This was also one of the reasons why True Gods were forbidden from descending. True Gods, who were the incarnations of certain Concepts, were far too frightening. If they existed in the mortal plane, they would naturally distort everything around them.
For example, when the God of Storm descended, his sky-covering waves would destroy everything. When the Sun God descended, his frighteningly high heat would transform the mortal plane into hell. Even the God of Law's Divine Domain would likely create a strange domain where anyone who committed a crime would be punished.
Felix was a half-spider, half-elf God of Poison. His new Divine Domain included "Nature's End (Withering Poison)." In his Divine Domain, all natural creatures would be affected by his Divine Domain. Even the God of Law's Divine Domain would likely create a strange domain where anyone who committed a crime would be sentenced to death.
This wasn't the destruction of their own will, but the destruction they brought to the world was unavoidable.
That was why no matter if it was the Order Gods or the Evil Gods of Chaos, they would do their best to avoid having their God Domain or their true bodies descend. But since Rose's true body had descended, the unspoken rules had long since been broken. In that case, it wouldn't matter if her subordinate Felix violated the rules again.
"… If we don't expel him as soon as possible, we'll all die."
Perhaps this new Poison God would be punished by the Gods in the future, but if we didn't eliminate the God level existence before us in time, we wouldn't be able to see the "future."
The only fortunate part was that the gigantic Spider God before us wasn't able to control his Divine Domain very well. His Divine Domain naturally spread out, but its effects were actually weakened. It wouldn't be able to pose an immediate threat to the warriors who actually faced it.
"Those who aren't at the Silver rank, retreat. Take the commoners and retreat as far away from his Divine Domain as possible. The overall evaluation doesn't count. It has to be the power level of your true body. "
Even powerful individuals at the Silver rank would only be cannon fodder for a few seconds. Just being stared at by this gigantic spider would cause many to vomit blood and die. What surprised even me was that I was in an unexpectedly good condition. It was as if the Divine Domain didn't have any impression of me at all. This was probably something that even Legend rank individuals wouldn't be able to do.
The small world created by my physical body was actually able to completely block out the Divine Domain's influence. This definitely wasn't some simple coincidence. Instead, it was a special ability of my bloodline that specifically targeted me.
[Host's willpower has exceeded 20, and you've reached the Silver rank. You've also been suppressed by the Divine Domain. All conditions have been met. Congratulations to Host for awakening the racial talent: Chaos Barrier.]
[Chaos Barrier: Protect your own existence from the Divine Domain and Soul World's pressure. Reduce the effectiveness of will-type and illusory abilities.]
Although the explanation was rather simple and vague, it was doubtlessly the most practical ability I had right now. At the very least, with its help, I would be able to calmly observe the overall situation and make arrangements and commands.
What? Go up and fight me? Right now, I probably wouldn't even be able to harm him if I didn't use my forbidden techniques. That would be no different from suicide.
"Borealis, cover him with your cannons!"
In the endless snowy night of tug-of-war, the Borealis, which had lost its vision, was completely useless. However, it still had sufficient ammunition and energy reserves. Under my command, the eager 'Envy' immediately opened fire on all of its cannons.
* Boom! * * Boom! *
Countless explosions exploded on Felix's body like fireworks. The mage tower's lightning and explosive flames never stopped, and the sound of explosions kept echoing. The battle was quite spectacular.
Unfortunately, in front of the astonishing defensive power of a True God's descended body, this product of mortal engineering couldn't even break through its defenses.
But …
"It's enough. It's more than enough as cover. Senior Amelia! "
"Aha!"
With a shout, the green-haired witch transformed into a shooting star that shot upwards. When she suddenly began to fall down, she had an aura even more terrifying than a real meteor.
For the gigantic Felix, that was nothing more than a meatball the size of a grain of rice. He didn't need to pay attention to it at all. However, Amelia's sudden heavy punch caused the gigantic beast to scream pitifully and stagger.
Judging from the dark green venom that sprayed out from the wound, this punch had pierced through its internal organs.
Amelia used her strength to prove that the older, the wiser. Even if her abilities were naturally countered, as a veteran SemiGod, she still had the ability to fight.
The elite warriors of the allied army had already rushed to Spider's side, but they suddenly stopped.
"There's mucus on the ground. Also, be careful of invisible nets!"
Those were his final words. Felix, who had suffered such a heavy blow, furiously activated his Divine Domain at full power. A grayish-black poisonous mist spread, and the warriors not far from him were the first to suffer. Strange tumors suddenly spread throughout their bodies, and they collapsed with their eyes wide open in anger.
Seeing how pitiful those warriors were, the ones following behind hesitated. At this point, it wasn't that they were afraid of sacrifice, but that the sacrifice had to be meaningful.
Fortunately, a God's interference in the Holy War would definitely lead to another God's retaliation. When Felix's God descended, some existences also had a reason to interfere. Our reinforcements finally arrived.
A familiar, glorious silver light descended. Wumianzhe's will had been observing the battlefield this entire time. When the enemy True God disobeyed the rules and acted rashly, he decided that he had to interfere as well.
When that light dissipated, an entire army had appeared where they had originally been. The messy battle flags were nostalgic, and their familiar faces caused exclamations of surprise.
"Longtu Basra! That's the legendary hero Valkyrie! "
"Isn't that General Lolly? She just died on the battlefield two days ago, and so did General Basra! How did they come back to life? "
"Idiot, that's Valkyrie. Didn't a True God declare that any warrior who dies in battle for the sake of protecting Valkyrie can become a true Valkyrie?"
This cruel war caused countless Northlands warriors to fall on this land, but it also allowed the newly born Northlands Guardian God to open his own temple of Valkyrie. And now, under Basra's leadership, this newly born Valkyrie army returned to the mortal plane.
Spears were thrown like lightning, and the sword-wielding Valkyrie was already beginning to slice apart the spiderwebs. They were still maintaining the advantage, and when Felix was forced to continuously retreat, his eight eyes shone with a vicious light. Then, that death-inducing Divine Domain arc exploded once more.
But this time, the effects were quite poor. The Valkyrie army actually ignored his threat and took the opportunity to launch a new wave of attacks.
But just thinking about it for a little longer, it was easy to understand the reason. This could be considered Felix's bad luck.
Valkyrie was immortal. He was a condensation of souls and didn't have a physical body of a living creature. Naturally, he wouldn't be mutated or poisoned. This time, Felix had met his natural enemy.
At this moment, the most eye-catching person on the battlefield was probably Longtu Basra. Countless weapons suddenly appeared in the air. Precious divine weapons rained down like rain, and magic pattern scrolls drawn in ancient elven language spread throughout the entire domain. From the very beginning, Basra had been fighting with all his might.
In the battle of the Dragonslayer, through the amplification of "Great Judgment," he had briefly reached the edge of a True God and understood this vast power. Now, the Elven God System's Divine Domain and Divine Spark were right before his eyes, and the master he was loyal to had made it clear that he wouldn't stop him from advancing. How could he not give it his all?
The gigantic spears kept stabbing into Felix's body. The Borealis' cannons didn't have any gaps, and the Witches' sudden attacks were even more deadly. The God of Poison, who was constantly receiving new wounds, found himself forced into a corner.
But if that was all, it was impossible for the Valkyrie army to deal with a god.
"Spider's Gray Forest!"
To Felix, the opponent before him was too difficult to deal with. He was forced to use the ability he had just learned. The Concepts of Nature, Elves, Corruption, and Wither were all mixed together, and the Spider Prince's nightmare became a demon in reality.
In the divine territory, countless strange plants suddenly grew. Those deformed plants were ugly and strange, but soon, these smelly trees and vegetation matured, directly turning into a dense and strange forest. And in the depths of the pitch-black forest, countless giant magical beasts with eight legs and compound eyes stepped out of their nightmares into reality. They had already begun to step into the battlefield.
It was chaos. It wasn't a one-versus-many battle, but a decisive battle between two armies.
While the Red Maple defense line was in chaos, on another battlefield not far away, two real armies were testing each other out.
One side was naturally the Plains Beastmen who had come through the tunnel left behind by Ömdiroken. And from the very beginning, the Earth Elemental God, who had communicated with Émont Blood Axe, had never thought of completely opening up this secret tunnel and letting the Plains Beastmen fight for victory with them.
And when the battlefield reached a stalemate, Émont and Ömdiroken finally made up their minds and requested for new reinforcements.
And the main force on the other side, apart from the "demons" of the Underground World, were mostly elves.
But Felix's joy was destined to be for naught, because the elves who came were destined not to be their reinforcements.
Apart from the silent Underground Alliance, there were also more than thirty thousand new species of elves. Their grayish-black skin was similar to that of the Dark Elves. They had once accepted Rose's power of corruption, but their skin color was slightly lighter. Under the leadership of a banshee princess, they broke free from Rose's control and stood against the Dark Elves.
The Underground Army, which had a mix of gray elves, and the distant plains Beastmen. The two armies were on guard against each other, but obviously lacked the determination to fight a direct battle.
And in the army camp, Suana's face was filled with worry as she looked at the gigantic spider that was the size of a mountain in the distance. After all, that was her father, the person she had once trusted the most, and the perfect king she respected.
"The humans, who are naturally weak, are fighting to protect their home. But our elves are still suffering. The army has collectively fallen into the Fallen Elves, and even the king has turned into a monster. At this point, I'm afraid that it's impossible to turn back. Father, is this the ending you hoped for? Is this the pride of the Superior Elves that you are so proud of? "
