Chapter 416

The fact that Kalumandas was instantly killed the moment he appeared caused the entire battlefield to pause. That was because he was a Main God. It was unbelievable that he had been killed so easily.

The Cloud Tower's mages were probably the most panicked of all. They never expected that a powerful Main God like Kalumandas would be defeated so easily.

Even though Kalumandas wasn't known for being an expert in combat, his reputation was still far greater than Sophocles', the "Weakest Main God".

"Bind."

With a low roar, all the magic energy that had been torn apart gathered together again and transformed into a physical substance. The magic energy entangled into threads, which then wove into a net.

Sophocles' magical web entangled him, which also stopped him from continuing to chase after Sophocles.

That's right, continuing his pursuit. Even though Kalumandas was ambushed and defeated, it would still be so easy for a Main God like Kalumandas to die.

Berserk magic and divine power gathered together, forming the upper body of a white-haired old man. Although Kalumandas was in quite a sorry state, and his lower body had completely vanished, at the very least he hadn't died on the spot.

The magical net that Kalumandas created with all his might had only managed to trap Sophocles for an instant. But …

"That's enough."

My Dawn holy sword viciously sliced at Sophocles' body. The Darkness Main God's defenses vanished under the illumination of Holy Light. Right after that, my favorite Iron Fist exploded forth.

Meanwhile, behind me, Harloys was hurriedly trying to heal Kalumandas. However, it was likely that neither of us had high hopes for her to succeed.

"Roland."

"Are you really going to stop me?"

Sophocles' voice was still a mix of voices, but there wasn't a single shred of emotion in his voice. The Sophocles before me was becoming more and more emotionless, and he seemed less and less like a demon.

Stop him? Wasn't Sophocles' main goal to invade the mortal plane with his demon army? Why did it seem that killing Kalumandas was his main goal instead?

Something was wrong with the situation. Not only was Sophocles prepared, he was even hunting Kalumandas down? What would Kalumandas live for if he killed Kalumandas? The Divine Concept of wisdom and knowledge?

I kept feeling that something was wrong with the situation, but my hands didn't stop moving. I summoned my ice armor, as well as my top-quality shield, "Ömdiroken's Wall of Sighs", which I hadn't used in a long time.

I held my sword in one hand and my shield in the other, protecting most of my body behind my armor and shield. I leaned forward slightly, only keeping my sight locked onto Kalumandas through the cracks of my helmet. I lightly gripped my sword and heavily gripped my shield as I took a heavy step forward, prepared to react at any moment. This was a defensive stance that every human infantry knew.

Although this appearance couldn't be considered handsome, it was the result of thousands of eliminations. It was suitable for the weak to fight against the strong to stall for time.

I unhesitatingly decided to use the turtle shell tactic against Sophocles, who was in a bad situation.

In the Cloud Tower, numerous mage towers were currently charging up. Compound mega attack spells were all locked onto the demons before me. Numerous black dots in the sky were getting closer and closer. These were all senior archmages that I had to face directly.

All the mage towers in the Cloud Tower were charging up. Compound mega attack spells were all locked onto the demon before me. Black dots in the sky kept getting closer and closer. These were all senior archmages that I had to take seriously.

Since I didn't have much hope that Harloys's healing would be effective, Kalumandas should be able to recover some combat strength if he was given some time.

At this moment, a melodious holy song spread throughout the entire battlefield. Darkness was dispelled by light, and everyone instinctively looked up at the sky. However, they were unable to look directly at the blinding light.

"The God of Holy Light? What's he doing here!? "

This situation was already chaotic enough. Another Main God? And the strongest Main God at that?

I looked up at the sky. Holy Light was unable to block my vision. I heaved a faint sigh of relief when I saw the incarnation of Holy Light.

"Fortunately, it's only an incarnation, even though it's a Main God's incarnation …"

I was even somewhat jealous. Kalumandas truly had a lot of resources. He was casually wasting divine power, and he had already lost several Main God incarnations, yet he was casually sending out another one.

Although I was slightly distracted, my gaze was still locked onto Sophocles. I could faintly hear what he was saying.

"… He's finally here??"

The God of Holy Light was brought here by Sophocles as well? Just what was Sophocles trying to do?

Suddenly, Sophocles paused, and his blurry face regained its emotions. It was a rather familiar face, but it had an inexplicably gentle smile on it.

He was sighing, just like a mortal who was troubled by trifling matters. As he walked, he sank into worry. Finally, in an instant, he, who was enlightened, revealed a smile of abandoning everything.

"Everything is for the purest form of evolution."

Damn it, why did this slogan sound so familiar? You can't be playing the same trick, right? You're going to play the same trick after shouting the slogan …

* Boom! *

A deafening explosion and a world-destroying flash simultaneously appeared in front of me. The powerful Main God Sophocles who had just revealed his true power smiled as he completed the end of a villain — he shouted the slogan of self-destruction!

A Main God's self-destruction? Right in front of me. At that moment, my brain reacted slower than my survival instincts. My instincts for danger caused chills to run down my spine. I immediately used the most effective method to save myself.

At that moment, I only had the time to throw away my shield, turn around, and drag Harloys into that world. Then, I watched as the world around me turned white.

This was no longer a simple attack of divine power. The combination of light and darkness created the most powerful divine power bomb in all of history.

However, unlike in the past, this explosion was far too close and far too powerful. Even though I was in my personal bug-like world, the external attacks were still beginning to shatter the dimensional barriers.

The dark-gray personal bug-like world began to fade as the connection to the Hades was forcefully shattered by the powerful divine power. The entire world in front of me was constantly shaking as it was peeled off piece by piece and finally returned to nothingness.

"Yongye City!"

I acted faster than my will. My mage city directly connected me and Harloys, and all of the floating city's mana was used to maintain the mage tower's shields. Even so, the divine power that seeped into my mage tower was still destroying my pitiful foundation.

Gales of divine power and dimensional cracks tore at my personal world. My magical shield was like a balloon that had been squeezed to its limit and was making a frightening sound. The entire floating city was shaking furiously, just like an ark of despair at the end of the world.

The only thing that was trustworthy was that I hadn't tried to save any materials when creating my mage tower. No matter how fierce the storm outside was, my sturdy magical shield managed to survive. However, I was like a fish left on the shore after the tide had ebbed, and was directly tossed into the mortal plane.

By the time everything barely returned to normal, we were in a completely different new world.

We were now in an indescribably abnormal world. Multiple Main Gods had died, causing the dimensional laws of this entire world to become chaotic. Countless dimensional cracks had been torn open, and the original blue sky and white clouds had vanished without a trace. The sky was now a chaotic universe filled with stars.

And, Sophocles hadn't just taken one or two Main Gods with him.

However, I was currently attracted by a figure who had just arrived on the battlefield. If my inference was correct, he was the true mastermind behind this battle and Sophocles' abnormal actions.

"Cavendish! Just what did you do!? "
