The Church of Shadows was losing ground.
Although there were not many casualties in the city of Mordor, there were probably more than two million Kindler Golems that had been damaged. Arendelle's tax last year was only more than one million Kindler Golems, which meant that Søren had squandered the equivalent of two years of Arendelle's tax in less than an hour. However, this price was worth it. If they didn't use so many Golems to clear the way, the half-elf church would have to pay thousands of casualties just to attack the underground.
Human lives could not be bought with money. Søren only had so much money, and it would be a heavy loss if all of his core followers were killed.
The same principle could be applied to the Lord of Shadows.
He had never underestimated Søren's strength, and he had always regarded Søren as a threatening enemy.
However, he still underestimated the power of Mordor City.
That's right!
The Lord of Shadows had guessed Søren's own strength, but he did not guess the hidden power of Mordor City.
In the view of the Lord of Shadows, he definitely had a 70% to 80% chance of winning against Søren, so he took the initiative to attack Søren's church believers. But what he never thought was that the power of the Shadow Thieves and the Church of Shadows combined was absolutely impossible to defeat Mordor City, which had the support of the Northern Witch Council, Arendelle's Ice Witches, and the church of the City of Wealth.
The Lord of Shadows had lost.
But he did not lose to Søren's personal strength, but to Søren's influence in the secular world!
Because some of these Golems came from the Northern Witch Council.
In order to get the floating ring technology of Mordor City, the Eye of the North also paid a big price, and some of the Steel Golems that participated in the battle today came from the Tower of the Northern Witch.
The secular power of the Lord of Shadows had lost.
It was impossible for the Church of Shadows and the Union of Shadow Thieves to fight against Mordor City alone, so there was only one chance for him to turn the tables, and that was to rely on his personal strength to kill Søren.
As long as Søren died, the power of Mordor City would immediately collapse!
Even with his [Shadow] clergy, after killing Søren, he might be able to take over a large part of Mordor's power.
Given the current situation, there was no way out for the Shadow Lord.
Since he dared to avoid the battle, the Church of Shadows would definitely be destroyed today. Søren would definitely flatten his great temple in the material plane. As a god, there was no way he could sit back and watch the church be destroyed. Therefore, his only choice was to fall into Søren's trap and force the Lord of Shadows to attack him. Then, he would activate the most crucial part of his plan.
…
A powerful divine power surged from the underground city.
Søren also sensed something at that moment. He narrowed his eyes and muttered, "You can't hold it in anymore?"
He was forcing the Shadow King to attack him.
Even if Søren was the Shadow Lord, there were only two choices he could make.
One was to give up on the Church of Shadows and evacuate.
The other was to kill the gods of the enemy church and directly disintegrate the attack of Mordor City.
"Shadow [Realm]!"
An invisible force spread, and the shadows around suddenly became more and more hazy.
Søren disappeared in an instant. The next moment, the space where he was was distorted, and then a dark void crack appeared.
"So this is what you look like!"
The power of the shadow dissipated, and Søren's figure appeared ten meters away. He looked at the front with a cold expression and said slowly, "The legendary Shadow Lord is actually a distorted shadow."
Right in front of Søren.
A distorted human-shaped shadow was suspended in mid-air. This was a special life form.
The Shadow Lord gave up his flesh and blood and directly transformed his body into a half-energy life form with shadow energy. This form of god was rarely seen in the Pantheon because most gods could not completely give up their flesh and blood.
"Since you've already appeared, then stay!"
A strange light appeared near Søren's wrist, and then there was a violent fluctuation in the surrounding space. The next moment, the nearby temperature plummeted, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of frost in an instant.
"Ice [Realm]!"
Princess Royal's proud figure appeared hundreds of meters away. The ability of the gods to change space blocked short-distance teleportation. Even she could only teleport 100 meters away.
"The god of half-elves and rogues!"
The voice of the Shadow Lord was as empty as the void. He looked at Søren indifferently and said slowly, "Is this your last card? You want to kill me with the help of a mere mortal? "
Princess Royal did not become a god.
That was to say, in the eyes of the Shadow Lord, no matter how powerful she was, she was just a mortal.
Mortals were still too weak for gods.
Of course.
This was just what the Shadow Lord thought.
In the face of the Shadow Lord's contempt, Princess Royal's expression was obviously a little unhappy, but she did not say anything. Instead, she used the power of ice and snow to block the surroundings in an instant. As the most powerful mortal in the material plane, although she had the power of a god, neither she nor Søren could kill the Shadow Lord alone.
"Of course I won't look down on you!"
Søren's mouth evoked a sarcastic smile, and said slowly, "Since I'm going to deal with you, I naturally have to prepare more helpers."
Bang.
About 300 meters away from Søren, a burly and old figure slowly appeared.
It was a Half-Orc who looked resolute but had already entered its twilight years. Its bare chest was painted with grey-white paint, which was the ashes of Half-Orc warriors. The war shamans relied on them to awaken the power of the ancient ancestral spirits.
Divine Ascender – Eugene!
The old half-orc approached step by step. With every step he took, his aura became stronger. When Eugene gradually approached the Shadow Lord, he took the white bone spear that was surrounded by the ancestral spirit's light from his back. His whole body could not help but exude a wild aura. A faint shadow appeared behind him. It was the incarnation of the half-orc's oldest ancestral spirits. They were once legendary figures of the half-orc race. With the power of the ancestral sacrifice, they gradually turned into powerful spirits.
"Demigod?!"
The Shadow Lord's expression finally changed. Compared to Princess Royal who did not reveal her divine power, Divine Ascender – Eugene's body had obvious demigod characteristics.
This power was obtained by Eugene after killing the Lesser Demon Lord!
Compared to the divine power hidden in Princess Royal's blood, Divine Ascender – Eugene's divine power from the bottomless abyss was more violent. At this moment, Eugene who had activated all his power had a trace of the evil god of the abyss!
A true god, a demigod, and a mortal who was about to become a god.
When Søren, Princess Royal, and Eugene surrounded the Shadow Lord, his expression finally changed. This was because even if he was an [Intermediate Divine Power], he would not be able to survive being surrounded by so many enemies!
More importantly, there was one more thing.
These three enemies all had a strong godly power on them!
