Due to the half-solidified space barriers everywhere in this alternate dimension, the flying speed was greatly reduced. Also, this world was still in a primitive state, and there were no long-distance teleportation circles. Therefore, neither Francis nor Ell had considered the possibility that the Lord of War would come in a hurry. After all, the Angonorma Empire and the Erdo Peninsula were separated by a large inland sea, and the land route was even longer. Even if there were no accidents, it would take a legendary at least two days to arrive, and a false god like the Lord of War would take at least seven or eight days to reach the Erdo Peninsula.
Also, no false god would be willing to leave the divine realm for too long. When Avando was defeated by Antanas, Antanas only ordered the priests and the divine-blood heroes to search for the Lord of War, and he himself returned to the Angonorma Empire as soon as possible. If there was nothing important, he would send his avatar instead of his real body.
Therefore, when the Lord of War's avatar turned into his real body and unleashed the power of a level nine legendary, Ell, who was in his weakened state, was pierced through by an arrow.
"Judging from the time, the Lord of War should have left the Angonorma Empire a week ago. So, he must have come for some other reason, not because of our boasting. Was he trying to subdue the God of Moon and the other false gods? If that's the case, then this theological debate is a conspiracy? "
"However, the clones he sent, together with a few high priests and divine-blood heroes, as well as the Moon God and the Lord of the Underworld, could easily suppress the other relatively weaker sects. There was no need for him to take such a great risk to come in person. Was there another reason?"
Many thoughts flashed through Francis' mind. In this world, there were only a few false gods who had the power of prophecy, such as the three Goddesses of Fate in the Northern Snow Plain. Also, the Lord of War and the false gods in the two nearby divine systems were definitely not among them. Therefore, the Lord of War definitely did not come here in advance because of the prophecy. Besides, Ell's threat was completely exaggerated. Even if he had the power to kill the Lord of War in the future, it would not be now.
On the surging Solna River, the shadows created by the cliffs suddenly twisted and merged into Ell's appearance. However, Ell's aura was much weaker than before. Apparently, Ell had been seriously wounded. If Ell had not grasped the mysteries of resurrection and avoided the fatal strike by changing between life and death, he would have been killed by now, leaving only his incarnation in the divine realm.
Ell did not feel lucky that he had survived the disaster, because the arrow had completely pierced through his disguise, exposing his weak nature in front of the Lord of Underworld, the Sun God, and the other false gods. They would certainly rush up and bite him without hesitation like the lion dogs that smelled blood.
Of course, the Arrow of Antanas that flashed in the Temple of War was more of a threat to Lucien than the fake god who had yet to make a move. The iron-black arrow seemed to be able to break free of the restrictions of space and time. In the blink of an eye, it would arrive right next to Lucien without leaving any trace.
The Lord of War roared angrily again. Horrifying power gathered quickly, and the fake gods who were hiding around were ready to make a move. Francis suddenly flashed and flew to the sky above the Temple of War. He turned into a dense dark fog, which completely covered the sky like a dark cloud.
In the dark fog, there seemed to be a mountain-sized serpent that raised its nine heads. Its teeth were shining and sharp.
Then, the nine-headed serpent suddenly struck down, turning into nine dark and horrifying sword lights. The black fog around the sword lights carried a strong sense of destruction.
The eight heads of the nine-headed serpent each had different attributes. When they gathered in the head in the center, they became the purest sense of destruction.
Therefore, the heavenly Knight with the bloodline of the nine-headed serpent had a title that was closely related to destruction and death, such as "Eye of Hell".
Boom! Horrifying waves were raised in the Solna River. People on the bank felt that the ground was moving up and down, making them unable to stand still. Their bodies were shaking violently.
The Temple of War was enshrouded in the dark fog. No one could see what was happening inside. However, judging from the earthquake and the expanding and contracting black fog, one could imagine how fierce the battle inside was.
"It's you, the Fog of Destruction … How long can you last in front of a fake god as powerful as a gold Knight?" Ramiro's body was shaking back and forth, just like the people around him, but in his mind, he was evaluating Francis' real power.
According to Ramiro's estimation, he should be able to last more than thirty seconds against the Lord of War. If he didn't care about the cost, there was a great chance that he could escape. After all, the Lord of War was only using its body and the special power that came with its identity as a fake god. Although the Lord of War had reached the peak of level nine, its actual power was only close to that of a gold Knight. Unlike the main material world, where there were many perfect bloodline refinement systems, the higher the rank of a Knight or the level of a grand lord's family, the more information the Knight could get.
"This Chosen is even more powerful than Avando …" Ramiro murmured to himself.
"Ell's performance is so mediocre. Is it because he hasn't fully awakened or recovered?"
"Is it possible that he has some hidden terrifying power?"
A fake god, who was powerful but weak for various reasons, could indeed display terrifying power for a short period of time at great cost. Therefore, the God of Sun and the God of Wisdom hesitated again. They were waiting to see who would make the first move and consume Ell's power.
All of a sudden, the Solna River near Ell became dim and lifeless. The Lord of Underworld in a black robe flew out from the bottom of the river, surrounded by countless powerful undead creatures.
The Lord of Underworld had surrendered to the Lord of War and was qualified to preach in the Solna Valley. He had to do something now, or he would incur the wrath of the Lord of War. Also, the Lord of Underworld was here in his true form, which gave the Lord of Underworld confidence. Therefore, unlike the other six fake gods, the Lord of Underworld made the first move!
"Ah!" Screams rose one after another. The rotten undead creatures around the Lord of Underworld made people step back in fear.
On the skinny face of the Lord of Underworld, two needle-like red light spots were jumping violently, reflecting the weak Ell. Dragging the long scythe, the Lord of Underworld slashed at Ell with the strong air of death.
Repent, beg for mercy, and then accept my fair judgment!
Seeing Ell in such a state, the Lord of Underworld's confidence was greatly boosted. The Lord of Underworld's resentment for the theological debate in the morning suddenly came to his mind.
Ell had just recovered from the wound caused by the arrow of Antanas, and now he was facing the attack of the Lord of Underworld and many undead creatures. The cold air of death seemed to have penetrated into his soul, making him feel uneasy. Therefore, he had to spend more effort to control himself, and then he used the most powerful means he had.
"I order you to die!" Ell spat out two short Cuban words, which contained a strong sense of command. This was a divine-like spell called Command, which he had learned after mastering the realm of resurrection. Different commands were one level lower than the same magic, both in terms of requirements and power.
You think you can kill me like this? I'm the god in charge of death and the underworld! Not that idiot Asin!
If the Lord of Underworld had not been entangled by your Chosen and his defense had not been broken by the high priest of Avando, he would not have been so easily injured and stripped of his divinity.
The God of Sun, the God of Wisdom, the God of Love, and the other false gods were ready to strike again. Obviously, Ell's Command of Death could not kill the Lord of Underworld, and this seemed to be the end of his hidden power.
The power of death and some unknown power appeared around Ell at the same time. The black scythe of the Lord of Underworld was already close, and the needle-like red light was jumping with excitement and joy.
If I can't kill him, I'll be seriously injured again. But with my current strength, the Command of Death will have no effect on the Lord of Underworld … The thought came to Ell's mind spontaneously, and he became even more panicked. He just subconsciously continued to cast Command of Death.
As Ell focused his eyes and cast Command of Death, the joy of the Lord of Underworld suddenly froze, and then disappeared completely without a sound, leaving only the shocked expression on his face.
What's going on?
The God of Sun, the God of Wisdom, the God of Earth, and the other false gods were not the only ones who were shocked and confused. Ell himself was also shocked.
This … this did not seem to be the effect of Command of Death. It seemed to be more terrifying and mysterious! The Lord of Underworld disappeared just like that? Disappeared!
"Confinement! Which archmage is hiding nearby? "Ramiro's face suddenly became serious.
Although this mysterious archmage cast the spell when Ell cast Command of Death and hid the magic waves in the air caused by him, so that the false gods, Francis, and the Lord of War could not detect it, Ramiro was right next to the river, and with his abundant knowledge of magic, he still noticed the strangeness and recognized the ninth-circle spell. "Things are getting more and more complicated. Maybe there really is something wrong … But I can't deal with a ninth-circle archmage. It seems that I have to ask for reinforcements."
After a brief moment of shock and bewilderment, Ell's heart immediately surged with the joy and ecstasy of escaping death. He raised his head and laughed loudly, "I am the supreme True God of this world. This is my true strength! Even I am scared of my own strength! "
"What?" The false gods were even more scared. They did not dare to do anything. The Lord of Underworld's fate was a living example! El God was truly mysterious and incomparably terrifying!
Apparently, Ell believed that his awakened self had interacted with the great being that surpassed everything, the supreme self, at the critical moment. Ell had unleashed his potential and used the power that he once had but had not recovered yet.
No matter how much Ell believed in this speculation, he had to pretend that he believed in it so that others would believe him!
Hearing Ell's laughter, the waves in the Temple of War seemed to have paused for a second. Francis seized the opportunity. The nine black snake heads combined into a sword light that was as powerful as a collapsing mountain and slashed at the temple.
The ground shook even more violently. Deep cracks appeared on the ground. The dark mist crawled into the temple.
"Let's go!" Francis was still in the form of a cloud of dark mist. He picked up Ell and Jacob, who were still reluctant to leave and wanted to kill the Lord of War, and flew to the horizon quickly.
After a while, the dark mist that surrounded the Temple of War suddenly dispersed. An extremely angry roar came from inside, "I will kill you!"
… …
Lucien put away the Sun Staff and activated the Transformation Mask. He turned into an ordinary fish and swam down quickly.
It was not easy for Lucien to get a fake god as an experiment sample. He did not want to give up halfway. However, if he could not scare the other fake gods, he would not risk his life to do it again.
After swimming for a while, Lucien suddenly stopped, because he felt that he was being watched!
The feeling disappeared in a flash. Lucien checked the surroundings carefully but found no trace. Instead, he sensed the strong air of death. All the fish around were in a half-dead state. They were rotting and swimming, but they could not float up.
No wonder the Lord of Underworld emerged from the bottom of the river. His realm was deep inside the Solna River. After figuring out the reason, Lucien swam out of the city of Husum. It would be very dangerous to stay here any longer.
