Starbeck's high-pitched scream instantly attracted the attention of the Gods in the sky.
The Gods frowned in confusion when they saw Starbeck flying up to the sky but they didn't split their attention to check.
They knew who their enemy was.
The same went for the Devourer.
It was even more arrogant and disdainful.
The Gods at least took a glance at Starbeck but the Devourer didn't care at all.
From the Devourer's point of view, a mortal like Starbeck couldn't even be considered as food, at most a worm.
A worm like Starbeck was only fit to be fed on its scales.
Therefore, the Devourer didn't move.
Quite the opposite, it stretched its body according to its original intention.
Its huge body had been tied up in that narrow space for too long, it had to relax for a while.
Then …
It would eat these little bastards!
The killing intent that rose from the bottom of its heart caused the Devourer to spit out its forked tongue.
Ssss!
The tongue was like a wide street, bringing up a violent wind in the sky.
The violent wind blew over the Gods' bodies.
It was bone-chilling cold.
Their bodies were shivering.
The God of Valiance, who was famous for his bravery and fighting spirit, was trembling. Clearly, his body was shaking.
The God of War, who was equally competitive, did not even dare to breathe loudly at this moment. He focused all his attention on the Devourer.
The other Gods didn't laugh at the God of Valiance and War though.
None of them felt the same.
As Gods themselves, they knew what kind of existence the Devourer was and how powerful it was.
Especially the Gods of Thorn, Mercy, and Harvest.
The three of them had been around since the establishment of Naveya City, they had a deep understanding of how powerful the Devourer was.
In their hearts, the Devourer wasn't just powerful anymore, it was terrifying.
If any one of them encountered a Devourer somewhere else, they would most likely turn around and run away immediately.
But in Naveya City.
They couldn't run.
Unlike the mortals who ascended to Godhood, the Gods were special. They couldn't leave Naveya City and could only live and die with the city.
The Gods of Thorn, Mercy, and Harvest looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
"I'll be the vanguard!"
The God of Forgiveness said.
The vanguard position should have been taken by the God of Thunder. Not only was he powerful, but his Divine Domain was also faintly restraining the Devourer.
But now?
Even with the appearance of the Devourer, the Thunder Temple was still silent. Not even a single priest or deacon showed up.
The God of Thunder had either fallen quietly, or he was playing tricks on his own.
Just like that time 300 years ago.
But no matter what the other party was doing, they couldn't wait any longer.
The Devourer would not give them the time to do so.
"I'll be in charge of providing support!"
The God of Harvest said.
"I'll command!"
The Thorn God said.
The surrounding Divinities nodded.
Then, the Gods gathered their strength and waited for the God of Thorn's order.
The Devourer kept flicking its tongue in and out.
It can't see.
However, its perception was enough for it to understand everything clearly.
Hiss!
The snake hissed again.
It was still accompanied by a strong gale, but it was no longer filled with killing intent. Instead, it was filled with mockery.
"Fools!"
Amidst the violent gale, a thunderous voice entered the Divinities' ears.
The radiance of the Divinities trembled again.
However, a dense battle intent was gathering between the Divinities. It wasn't as dazzling as the colorful radiance but it was heavy enough, as heavy as the earth.
The gale that blew past stopped.
The clouds in the sky stopped.
Both sides had drawn their swords, ready to fight at any moment.
As for Starbeck?
Who would care about a mere mortal at that moment?
Starbeck was long forgotten.
Even though he was about to crash into the Devourer's scales.
At this moment, a scene flashed across Lady Thorn's eyes. Her face that was covered in radiance revealed a trace of disbelief.
Then, it turned into joy.
"Attack!"
Lady Thorn gave the order without a second thought.
The God of Forgiveness raised his spear horizontally and charged towards the Devourer.
The radiant spear moved with extreme speed, like a comet streaking across the sky and accurately pierced the Devourer's head.
But …
Ding!
Sparks flew.
The spear with extreme speed only left a faint white mark on the Devourer's head.
Then, the God of Forgiveness launched a second strike.
Compared to the peerless speed of the first spear, this spear was even faster.
If the first strike was like a comet streaking across the sky, the second strike was like a light beam.
The moment the light beam appeared, it would hit its target.
However, the spear was blocked!
Tens of thousands of monstrous mouths stacked on top of each other, blocking the spear in front of the God of Forgiveness like a shield that teleported.
Pak Pak Pak!
Under the impact of the spear, the tens of thousands of monstrous mouths exploded at the same time. A visible ripple spread out in all directions from the point where the spear and the mouths clashed.
Wung!
A loud noise that could cause one's ear to ring sounded.
All the clouds in the sky above Naveya City vanished at this moment.
Under the azure sky, the God of Forgiveness was panting heavily and on the Devourer's body, new scales were growing out like bamboo shoots after the rain.
"The first strike is mercy and forgiveness, the second strike is annihilation.
It has been so many years, yet you are still so reckless and ignorant.
Have you never thought about what will happen if you miss the second strike?
Really … Aaaargh! "
The Devourer turned a blind eye to the attacks from the other Gods, focusing on mocking the God of Forgiveness. However, before it could finish, it was interrupted by its own agonizing cry.
But right after that, the agonizing cry was overshadowed.
Wuu Wuu … Woof!
A series of barks and barks from a dog sounded.
The Devourer's body shivered unnoticeably.
The Gods who were attacking the Devourer froze in mid-air.
The sun set at an unimaginable speed.
However, the moon that should have appeared didn't.
The sky turned dark instantly.
In the darkness, the radiance of the Gods was overshadowed. The Devourer's gigantic body that spanned across the sky was also overshadowed.
All that was heard was the sound of chewing.
All that was heard was the sound of chewing.
And …
Crying.
"S-So scary!
What a big snake!
A-Afu bit it! "
The loud cries were accompanied by intermittent sobs.
The Gods who froze in mid-air clenched their teeth and turned their necks around, trying to see what was happening but they couldn't do what they usually did.
The Gods couldn't do it.
Even the Devourer couldn't do it.
Its ever-victorious senses didn't allow it to "see" the Devourer.
The Devourer was proud of its gigantic, tenacious, magical body but all it could do was writhe in the Devourer's mouth, causing more wounds on its body.
