The most magnificent brilliance on the seventh floor of Mountain Paradise burst out. The purest and most flawless holy light swept out, turning the sky into a brilliant ocean that stripped away all sounds, colors, and feelings.
The unusually bright ocean of light surged toward the spherical magic circle down below. At this moment, time and space seemed to have ceased to exist. Only the light of God's Arrival was flowing unstoppably. The spherical magic circle and Lucien inside seemed to have been frozen in a yellowed page of history.
Even Fernando, who was outside of the range of God's Arrival, could only sense something less than one meter away from him. Other than that, his eyes and his spiritual power were filled with the magnificent brilliance of holiness.
Right then, in the middle of the vast holy light that purged everything in the world, a Silver Moon rose. It was cold and dreamy.
As the Silver Moon appeared, the flow of God's Arrival seemed to be slowed down for a moment, and the spherical magic circle and Lucien inside were revived again.
Pope Viken was not surprised that Alterna, the Silver Moon, blocked it. The God's Arrival that he performed this time was not aimed at her. The range of its power was centered on the spherical magic circle, and it only affected her. Therefore, Alterna, who still had strength left, would certainly have blocked it from the side and bought a chance for Lucien Evans to escape.
It was a pity that she was too late. Lucien Evans had reached the most critical moment of breaking into the demigod level and could not be separated from the spherical magic circle. He was destined to be obliterated by God's Arrival.
'Pope' Viken was rather regretful about the fact, too. He did not intend to kill Lucien Evans just like that. The road ahead was too dangerous, and such an excellent pathfinder was indeed an inestimable treasure. However, the guy was too ambitious and scheming, which pushed him to the point where he had to kill him step by step.
The Silver Moon dimmed quickly. Even though the light of God's Arrival was delayed for a moment, it was still surging to the spherical magic circle.
Suddenly, Lucien, who had been revived inside the spherical magic circle, raised his head. His eyes were deep, and his pupils were full of the reflection of the holy light.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
Well … Pope Viken seemed to be able to sense the situation inside the spherical magic circle through God's Arrival. He was slightly surprised that Lucien was not frustrated or desperate but was smiling as if he were saying goodbye to him. He suddenly had a hunch.
Boom!
Lucien's white shirt and yellow vest exploded like a watermelon that had been thrown to the ground from a height of ten thousand meters!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere as the light of God's Arrival completely drowned the place!
In a secret chamber in the Tower of Babel in the Atomic Universe …
A weirdly shaped silver amulet that looked like a section of intestines emitted bright but not dazzling ivory light inside the long box that was embedded with gems. The whole secret chamber was filled with the sense of exuberant vitality.
Natasha, who was guarding the place with her longsword, became solemn when she saw that. Holding the Sword of Truth tightly, she seemed ready to wave it and cut off the attack that came at any moment!
The energy of all kinds of magic gems flowed into the silver amulet, and the other materials inside the long box were disintegrated and melted into it too. The silver amulet lost its beautiful appearance and turned into an object stained with blood. Then, it split and grew.
Organs grew out, bones grew out, muscles grew out, skin and hair grew out, too.
Natasha's solemnity was gone, and she watched the scene with a smile. Not only was she not disgusted by the heavy taste, she even scratched her chin in great interest. "I didn't know that an unformed body could be so ugly …"
Lucien's naked body had completely grown out. His skin was smooth, his muscles were firm, and his lines were smooth, making him look like a statue.
Then, he slowly opened his eyes. The traces of the brilliance of the holy light seemed to still be lingering in his deep, dark eyes.
"God's Arrival?" Natasha observed him up and down like a bad 'gentleman' and asked curiously.
The residual image in Lucien's eyes was gone. He nodded his head softly. "Thankfully, I still have my appendix at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to dodge 'God's Arrival' even if I had the Silver Moon to block it."
From the very beginning, Lucien had planned to avoid 'Pope' Viken's fatal strike with self-detonation!
I'm proud to have an appendix!
"How does it feel to face 'God's Arrival' head-on? How terrifying is it exactly? "Natasha asked quickly. She was very interested and curious about such battles.
Lucien's lips twitched. "Do you want me to tell it to you naked?"
"It's not like you've never told it to me naked before." Natasha was not scared of being blinded at all. Of course, she also threw the clothes that she prepared to Lucien.
Then, she intentionally asked, "Where's your equipment? Don't let it be damaged in 'self-detonation' and 'God's Arrival'. "
She knew clearly that her husband was essentially a money-grubber. If he lost the few legendary items, he would die of heartache. So, she teased him with that.
While putting on his clothes, Lucien chuckled. "Of course it's with my teacher!"
… …
In the ocean of holy light, the ball-shaped magic circle quickly collapsed and melted.
Fernando, who had been intentionally staying out of the range of 'God's Arrival', simply cast a spell and opened a space-time gate, jumping to the Thunder Hell, his demiplane. The Will of Abyss, who was next to the ball-shaped magic circle, had no time to dodge and was affected by 'God's Arrival'. His eyes exploded, his arms fell, and his screams made dark and chaotic water flow out of the ground.
"He's not melted with the demigod circle?" Pope Viken was not surprised that Lucien self-detonated. As a top legendary sorcerer in the past, he knew a lot about sorcerers' escape and resurrection methods. However, he did not expect that at the last moment, Lucien Evans could detonate himself so easily without being affected by the ball-shaped magic circle.
Could it be that he had avoided the blast at the critical moment and replaced his body with alchemical items?
If that was the case, it meant that he had never intended to become a demigod. Then, what was he doing everything for?
Thinking about that, Pope Viken narrowed his eyes. Leaving the Will of Abyss and the Lord of Hell down below, he tore apart space and returned to the corresponding location in the main material world.
The Lord of Hell sensed the anomaly at the same time. He unleashed all his strength and banished the Will of Abyss, who had been heavily wounded by God's Arrival again, back to the Infinite Abyss. Then, he tore apart space and returned too.
The lackluster Silver Moon was long gone, and the sky of the World of Souls was gray and bleak again. Only a silver-haired man in a red shirt and a black turtleneck walked out of the woods slowly and chuckled. "I didn't even have a chance to show up before it was over. How sad."
… …
Outside of Allyn, the bright mist was getting denser and denser, covering the natural scenery that was no different from reality and the cognitive world that looked like a vast cosmos. Only the brilliant starlight from the dark sky was still as eye-catching as ever.
Melmax, the Holy Avenger, arrived near Allyn in twenty minutes and happened to see the scene. Taking a deep breath, he raised his longsword and launched an attack at the City in the Sky. He had to stop Douglas from becoming a demigod!
Although he knew clearly that it was almost impossible to break the defense of Allyn on his own without a demigod, as a Knight, he could only charge at this moment!
The Holy Avenger's longsword streaked across the sky and hit the bright mist. On the other side, Belkovsky, the brawny pontiff of the North Church, flew over too. Surrounded by holy light, a pair of glorious wings that were purely made of the brilliance of godhood grew out of his back. It was obvious that he had performed "God's Grace".
However, hardly had he appeared when a green arrow that carried the air of nature's cycle passed through space and blinked to his front, forcing him to abandon the plan to attack the defense of Allyn and focus on dealing with the arrow of 'Nature's Punishment'.
In the high sky, the elven queen, who was wearing a refreshing green dress, chose to help her ally.
Dracula, the Master of the Night, and Danisos, the Dragon of Time and Brilliance, both hid in the darkness and did not take action. Because they were in a contradictory position in the first place, they were both happy and worried about Douglas's charge. Also, the few top legends of the Congress of Magic hadn't taken action yet, so they had to consider whether or not they had any advantages.
At this moment, the cosmos suddenly constricted into Allyn, and the stars fell like a rain, presenting a brilliant and dreamy view.
Then, night fell again, and there was no light at all. Even the senses of the top legends could only cover a dozen kilometers around.
In the pitch-black darkness, Melmax suddenly had a bad feeling. He left without thinking and returned to the Holy City. So did Belkovsky.
Deep inside the Dark Mountain Range, Viken, who was wearing the pope robe and the holy crown, was looking at the sky that was as dark as ink gloomily.
At this moment, how could he not understand what was going on?
Just as "He" was about to raise the platinum scepter, at the end of the dark sky, a blazing white sun suddenly jumped out and dyed the sky crimson!
… …
"You spent more than twenty minutes and one 'God's Arrival'?" Hearing Lucien's unhurried explanation, Natasha was rather reassured. "It seems that Viken and the Lord of Hell won't make it in time."
Lucien chuckled. "After they left the World of Souls, their corresponding location was the Dark Mountain Range. It will take them a lot of time to reach Allyn from there. Unless they set up teleportation circles in advance, it will take them at least twenty minutes even for demigods. Also, the location of Allyn is not as easy to determine as the artificial planets in the high sky. It will be barely possible for Viken to lock onto the City in the Sky remotely."
"Hehe. Are you not scared that Viken and the Lord of Hell really set up teleportation circles in advance?" Natasha intentionally argued.
Putting on his vest, Lucien smiled. "Do you think Mr. Rhein did not show up because he was checking something?"
"Well …" Natasha seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "What would the Congress do if they were faced with such a situation?"
"The orbital attack of the artificial planets, of course." Lucien warmed up his body. "However, the orbital attack cannot break through the defense of Allyn right now."
