As the war in the Northern Continent entered October and Backlund began to cool, the war situation suddenly underwent a massive change!
In recent months, the Feysac army, which hadn't launched many proactive offensives, suddenly launched a surprise attack in the southeast direction!
They bypassed the Chester Mountains blocking their path and directly launched a surprise attack towards the eastern part of Backlund.
Backlund's defenses in the east were very weak, and the hastily assembled positions were breached in a single charge by the enemy. Thus, in late October, the Feysac army and a large number of forces from the God of Combat Church appeared in the suburbs of Backlund.
Backlund had become the front line!
This sudden change caught everyone off guard. It wasn't that no one had considered this possibility, but rather that the day seemed to have come too quickly!
Since the support from the Duchy of Southern Balam had alleviated the pressure on the western front, the general expectation was that the enemy might break through the Balchis mountain defense line in the first half of next year.
If the war could be delayed until the second half of next year, then this war would ultimately be resolved at the negotiating table.
However, unexpectedly, just as winter arrived, the outer defense line was breached.
Subsequently, the Loen soldiers on the western front collapsed.
Medici realized that the hundred thousand troops in his hands could hardly withstand the hundreds of thousands of Intis troops on the main battlefield, so he quickly ordered a southward retreat, giving up the main passage of the Balchis Mountains.
Southern Balam retreated all the way to the southern part of the Backlund region, making a final observation of the war.
At this time, everyone believed that the fall of Backlund was only a matter of time.
Then, Hobert found Medici and asked him to take people to defend the southwestern positions of Backlund, and told him to put up more flags of the Duchy of Southern Balam in front of the positions.
Medici pondered this strange order for a while before immediately taking people to defend Backlund.
After the flags were planted, the Intis army only deployed a dozen divisions opposite them to contain the Duchy of Southern Balam, while their main force continued to attack the Loen army, which had already lost its morale.
The war had only lasted for three days, and a large number of deserters had inevitably appeared in the Loen army. The entire Backlund was unwilling to continue resisting.
On the last day of October, Hobert felt that the entire Backlund had reached its limit.
He sat on top of the high tower next to the Resurrection Square, overlooking this cold city.
Since the start of the war last year, they had suffered too much sadness and pain. At this moment, the enemy's artillery fire quickly destroyed the public's psychological defenses.
At this time, Hobert discovered that a team of cavalry suddenly rushed out from the direction of the palace, rampaging and disregarding the lives of the people on the streets.
The cavalry quickly headed to the Backlund port, as if they were fleeing in panic.
Hobert smiled: "A smokescreen!"
He was very sure that George III had already used the teleportation array to go to the Rorsted Archipelago, and this team of guards was only attracting the enemy's attention.
At this moment, the space around Hobert suddenly became illusory, and Fors brought Audrey over.
"You've come just in time," Hobert said with a smile. "I'll take you to see something good, but before that..."
Hobert took out two pairs of glasses made of Order Crystals: "Put these on, and remember, never take off the glasses!"
Fors and Audrey, seeing Backlund being constantly ravaged by artillery fire, seemed to understand something and nodded solemnly together.
Then, Hobert used the ability to "distort" space to bring the two ladies to a hill in the northern part of Backlund, quietly watching the distant sky.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the sky suddenly darkened. It was noon, but the northern sky turned golden, and in a short while, it presented a scene of dusk.
In the southern sky, it gradually became deep, and after only a moment, it turned into night.
Darkness and dusk intertwined, dividing the entire sky into two.
Just seeing the scene in the sky, Audrey and Fors felt a huge sense of oppression.
Hobert also took a deep breath, somewhat excitedly saying: "It's starting!"
… …
At this time, in the Rorsted Archipelago, in the "City of Generosity" Bayam.
Alger, who had just landed at the port, felt something and turned his gaze to the northwestern sky.
Wherever his eyes reached, the sky suddenly darkened, and layers of dark clouds piled up, and countless silver-white electric snakes jumped out.
Many deep blue waves surged high, forming huge water columns, heading straight into the clouds, connecting the sky and the sea.
At the junction of the sea and the sky, rays of light lit up, and they suddenly lost any color, as if composed of massive amounts of illusory things.
Alger, who had already become a demigod, immediately understood what was going on: "God... the War of the Gods has begun!"
That was the battlefield of the Lord of Storms and the God of Steam and Machinery.
… …
Near the capital of Lenburg.
Anderson Hood used "Fireball" to block the enemy's attack again. Looking at the corpses, weapons, and blood outside the bunker, he patted the dust on his hands and smiled at his deputy:
"I don't know how long we can last. Do you have anything you want to leave behind? I can help write a will."
As he wished, he saw the angry eyes of the surrounding "soldiers". At this moment, their thoughts were surprisingly consistent.
However, the "soldiers" did not make a move, but instead shifted their gazes elsewhere.
These "soldiers" were what he used to complete the advancement ritual, and they should be called teammates, but none of them were willing to admit this.
"You're not responding to my provocation," Anderson raised his eyebrows and said, "That means you're plotting a conspiracy."
Without waiting for the adjutant and the "soldiers" to respond, this "Hunter" smiled and continued: "Are you planning to surrender? To protect your relatives and friends?"
Seeing all eyes turning towards him, Anderson shook his head: "You haven't been Beyonder for long. You've only been able to become 'Hunter', 'Provoker', and 'Pyromaniac' by relying on the outbreak of war to obtain the main ingredients for potions from the enemy. But in terms of conspiracy, you are still too naive.
"I'm very curious, why don't you try to persuade me to surrender with you? I don't think I usually show much determination, and I'm not a believer in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."
Speaking of this, Anderson looked at his adjutant thoughtfully: "Are the high-level officials on the opposite side completely angered by me and ordered not to accept my surrender?"
The adjutant was silent for a few seconds before saying: "You already know, why do you still ask?"
The nearby soldiers once again raised their palms in unison, aiming them at Anderson, appearing extremely tacit.
"If I don't ask, how can I be sure that everyone is thinking the same thing?" Anderson was not flustered at all.
He touched his stomach with his left hand and put his right hand into his pocket, not knowing what he was groping for.
At this moment, the sun in the high sky suddenly expanded, becoming extremely huge, and the scorching sunlight made it impossible for Anderson and the others to open their eyes completely, and their minds were blank, making it difficult to have any thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, a illusory high tower protruded out. Each of its layers was composed of thick books, and each book had a bronze eye. The higher the layer, the darker it was, and the more it was filled with madness and destruction.
This high tower extended to the sky, as if encircling the entire world into its interior, including the huge sun.
… …
Backlund, inside the luxurious villa of the Odora family.
All the Sanguine in this metropolis gathered here to prepare for the upcoming war results.
Emlyn put his hands in his pockets, looking at the sky outside where dusk and darkness intertwined.
Suddenly, he had a slight inspiration and turned his gaze to the garden outside the window. Clumps of withered weeds became green again and grew rapidly, becoming more than one person tall in no time.
In other parts of the city, the trees on both sides of the road frantically absorbed nutrients from unknown sources, rising section by section, and soon grew to dozens of meters high, with thick branches and umbrella-like crowns.
The giant trees connected to each other, blocking the sky of Backlund.
Many buildings were therefore crushed, or entangled by branches and vines, seemingly abandoned for decades.
In just seven or eight seconds, many places in Backlund turned into primeval forests.
… …
On the hills outside Backlund, Audrey and Fors hid in a tall canopy, looking at the distant scene with black glasses.
Just now, the northern part of the entire Backlund area was covered with roses, night-scented stocks, and other plants symbolizing tranquility and darkness, and the surrounding area had also entered the night in advance.
Suddenly, orange-red rays of light shone from the sky into this tranquil plant cluster, returning some areas to dusk, causing flowers and grass to wither one after another.
In the desolate dusk, a huge figure like a mountain peak walked out. He had long limbs, wearing silver armor full of dilapidation, his face was covered by a mask, only vaguely revealing a cluster of orange-red light.
He held an exaggerated long sword, allowing the tip to droop naturally, touching the dark "ground."
As this terrifying giant walked forward step by step, the long sword constantly dragged in the darkness, causing the ground to split and the surrounding dusk to replace tranquility and darkness.
In the depths of darkness, a similarly large figure floated out, dragging a long scythe.
She wore a layered but not complicated dark black long skirt, dotted with countless brilliances, like a starry night inlaid.
On her ribs and waist, two arms each grew out, the surface covered with dark short hair.
In Her six hands, two held the heavy black scythe, two cradled a scarlet "moon," one was empty, as if supporting something, and one tightly gripped an ancient golden ornament.
The ornament was shaped like a slender bird, surrounded by wings composed of pale flames. Within its bronze eyes, layers of light overlapped, as if forming one illusory door after another.
The giant wielding the greatsword moved forward, his pace quickening, gradually approaching a charge.
His sword, dragged through darkness and twilight, rubbed against the surroundings, sparking small, clear dawns.
At this moment, the roses and vines on the other side suddenly enlarged, growing wildly, soon becoming equivalent to trees that had survived for thousands of years in a primeval forest.
Among these trees, a figure entwined with deep green vines and adorned with various herbs and flowers stood out.
She was also as huge as a mountain peak, with a full figure, flowing robes, and cradling an illusory infant.
As soon as this figure descended, it followed the twilight giant, approaching the humanoid demon wolf wielding the jet-black scythe in a half-floating, half-flying manner.
Audrey and Fors, who were watching the battle from afar, had activated the "Order Crystal" shield due to the immense pressure of the divine war.
Although it consumed a large amount of spirituality, they were unwilling to miss everything that was happening before their eyes.
At this moment, they couldn't help but worry about the Evernight Goddess, as it was clearly a one-on-two situation.
At the same time, they didn't understand why, but they always felt that the illusory infant held by the Earth Mother was very familiar, or rather, gave them a very familiar feeling.
…
Hobert first came to Longtail Island, then carefully built a "Wall of Spirituality," and covered it with a layer of "Order Crystal" composed of a barrier.
Then He entered the "Nation of Disorder." After Hobert waited for Beverly's prayer, He first threw the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch," "Holy Infant King," and "Duke of Entropy" into the battlefield.
Then, He turned the "0-76" Death God's Sword into a circular ring and wore it on His wrist. At the same time, He held the "0-78" Spiritual Wilderness and draped the "0-79" Mysterious Curtain over His body as a cloak.
Finally, He wore the Uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" and held the "Sun Scepter" in His other hand, arriving in the real world as the "Creator" clad in black armor.
The "Creator" did not go to the main battlefield. He was very clear that the Evernight Goddess did not need help, and going there might be a hindrance.
He came to the sea, to the battlefield between the Lord of Storms and the God of Steam and Machinery.
During this time, Hobert had been working hard to gather intelligence, and finally determined that the Beyonder characteristic of the "Knowledge Emperor" extracted from Roselle's body had been carried by the God of Steam.
Before finding other Beyonder characteristics of the "Knowledge Emperor," only the Beyonder characteristic in the hands of the God of Steam was the key to helping "Old Huang."
And today's divine war was the only opportunity to obtain that Beyonder characteristic in recent times.
Reaching the edge of the battlefield, the "Creator" saw the lofty figure surrounded by lightning in the crest of the clouds.
The grim lightning flickered between heaven and earth, and the sea, air, and dark clouds could be scorched by clusters of lightning.
Opposite Him was an illusory figure in the light. He folded His hands together and then opened them, forming an illusory book in His hands. After the lightning encountered the illusory book, it immediately entered the book from the real world, becoming illusory, and then disappeared without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, the gale howled, and the illusory book was blown away, torn page by page in the blade-like wind, and finally returned to nothingness.
The "Creator" sighed, thinking that the Lord of Storms seemed to be a little more powerful, but it could not be ruled out that it was because the Lord of Storms's ability was more oppressive.
At this time, Hobert, wearing the Uniqueness, joined the battle in a timely manner. He "weakened" the God of Steam's next attack using the illusory scroll, making this attack seem not to originate from a true god, and the Lord of Storms easily dispersed it.
The lofty Lord of Storms and the God of Steam, who seemed to be in an illusory space, looked at the "Creator" together. They might not have understood for a while, why was this guy joining in the fun?
…
In the Minsk Mountains, the three angels of the God of Combat Church were all here, gazing into the distance, observing the divine war in the direction of Backlund.
Suddenly, their spirituality was aware, and Beverly and Raymond, wearing the same style of circular jade pendants, appeared on the distant mountain peaks.
"Glory" Larrion's eyes were immediately filled with hatred after seeing Beverly.
But before He could rush towards the enemy, the three angels of the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" suddenly appeared near them, and immediately launched a 3-on-3 angel battle.
At this time, the Beverly siblings approached unhurriedly, and when they found the right opportunity, Beverly threw a pure black talisman at Larrion, the Archbishop of the God of Combat Church: "Misfortune!"
This was the God-level "Misfortune Talisman" that the Evernight Goddess had given to Hobert before!
Larrion, who was reaching out to take the "Trunsoest Brass Book," was about to touch the cloth bag holding the "Brass Book" when a large hole suddenly opened at the bottom of the cloth bag, and the "Brass Book" fell to the ground just like that.
It should be known that this cloth bag was also a Sealed Artifact, specially used to seal the "Brass Book," and it suddenly opened a big hole at this time.
Because Larrion was too unlucky, encountering such a small probability event.
…
Northwest of the Feynapotter Kingdom, on the Central Plateau.
Philip I was gazing at the divine war in the distance. For a Sequence 1, he could see the general situation of the Backlund divine war from here, and he could more clearly see the battle between the Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom on the border between Intis and Loen.
At this moment, his spirituality was aware, and he saw a figure stepping from a distance.
The other party looked like he was in his twenties, with bronze hair, it was Trunsoest.
Philip I smiled and said: "You don't go to snatch the Uniqueness of the 'Justiciar' pathway, what are you doing here?"
As he spoke, the silver-white "Sword of Order" in his hand had already formed: "I see, you are very clear that you can't snatch it from the 'Creator' at all!"
Trunsoest smiled slightly, raised his hand slightly, and the earth under Philip I's feet and the surrounding environment lost all order, and the earth and air simultaneously turned into viscous liquid that could trap Philip I.
Philip I waved the "Sword of Order" and cut it down, and the viscous liquid immediately restored order, and returned to the state of gas and solid.
In the next instant, Philip I had already appeared in front of Trunsoest, and stabbed the emperor he had originally served with a sword.
However, Trunsoest had no intention of dodging, nor did he make any defensive moves.
Philip I frowned. At this time, his "Sword of Order" suddenly stopped, as if it had hit a hard object.
Philip I immediately retreated, and he realized that a layer of "Spiritual Barrier" had suddenly appeared in front of Trunsoest.
Two seemingly ugly hands suddenly appeared, peeling open the real world, revealing the ugly figure in the spirit world, it was actually the "Abomination" Suah.
Philip I did not satirize Trunsoest for actually colluding with Suah, he immediately used his ability to go to Oak Island in the southeast direction.
Because after seeing Suah, his spirituality immediately had a very bad premonition. At this time, going to William I was a good choice.
Although Philip I and William I had always been enemies, William I was the person in this world who was least willing to see Philip I's Beyonder characteristic being taken away by Trunsoest.
"It's too late!" Trunsoest smiled and said: "Deprive!"
Philip I discovered that his Sequence 1 level abilities had actually been "deprived"!
This made him immediately realize that the former "Justiciar" Trunsoest still had some influence on the Sequence 1 Characteristic of this pathway, or rather, the arrangement that Trunsoest left in the "Hands of Order" still had some effect.
So Philip I ran faster.
At this moment, two huge bronze doors with intricate mystical symbols appeared in front of him.
Squeak ~
The bronze door suddenly opened completely, and the spiritual bodies of all life within tens of kilometers around were sucked into the door.
A female image with a pale face, an expression as stiff as a dead person, and a bit like an illusory spirit body appeared from the underworld.
Philip I was a little surprised: "Pale Empress!"
That female figure was none other than Sia Palenqe Eggers, the current emperor of the Balam Empire!
…
On the turbulent sea.
Hobert finally found the Beyonder characteristic of the "Knowledge Emperor," which was a pure white crown, and like the "Death God's Sword," it was worn on the wrist by the God of Steam.
The space around the God of Steam was illusory. If Hobert did not wear the Uniqueness, it would be difficult to see the position of the "Knowledge Emperor" Characteristic clearly.
Now that he had found that Characteristic, it was easy to handle. Hobert immediately "used" the ability of the "Knowledge Emperor" Beyonder characteristic to turn a part of the God of Steam into a stream of information composed of symbols and numbers.
A scroll immediately appeared next to the God of Steam. This scroll recorded the helplessness and misery of human beings when facing supernatural species. The stream of information was introduced into the scroll, and the stream of information immediately became illusory, and finally merged with the scroll.
At this time, a storm suddenly appeared in the scroll, and the Lord of Storms invaded his power into this scroll!
The people and Beyonder creatures in the scroll showed fear of the sudden natural disaster and hid back in their habitats and nests.
The raindrops in the storm became illusory and powerful, piercing the scroll like sharp thorns, and began to smash towards the God of Steam.
The God of Steam released a brilliant light, a light distinct from all colors in the world. Anyone who saw it would exclaim: "This is the light of civilization!"
The light, imbued with abstract meaning, caused the sharp, stormy raindrops to revert to ordinary raindrops, falling into the sea beneath their feet.
This was why the "Creator" decided to seize the "Knowledge Emperor"'s Beyonder characteristic at this moment. Facing the God of Steam alone, He had little chance of winning. Only by using the Storm Lord's attack could He force the God of Steam to abandon that "Knowledge Emperor" Characteristic.
While the God of Steam was resisting the Storm Lord's assault, the "Creator" once again exploited the negative effects associated with the "Knowledge Emperor" Beyonder characteristic, causing the God of Steam to be momentarily dazed, lost in the glory of His contributions to human civilization.
This daze might have lasted less than half a second, but when He regained His senses, He was surrounded by enormous waves from all directions.
One painting after another reappeared in front of the waves, some recording the epic scenes of humans using themselves as experimental subjects, attempting to fuse Beyonder Materials to gain power, others bearing various inventions, books, and viewpoints.
But the layers of waves crashed down and broke through these paintings. These were not mere waves; they were tsunamis, possessing the abstract power to overcome all obstacles.
Taking advantage of the brief obstruction caused by the paintings, the God of Steam worked hard to transform the tsunamis from two directions into swift currents. He immediately hid within the currents, avoiding being "encircled" by the tsunamis.
At this moment, the God of Steam was already in a disheveled state under the joint attack of the Storm Lord and the "Creator." He was also very clear that the "Creator" wanted to seize the "Knowledge Emperor" Beyonder characteristic He carried.
After a slight hesitation, the God of Steam threw the Characteristic to the "Creator," because He realized that if He didn't, He might be injured in today's battle.
He had only recently, in the past hundred years, regained a good state. If He were to be injured at this critical moment before the arrival of the apocalypse, it would trigger catastrophic consequences.
The "Creator" distorted the "Knowledge Emperor" Beyonder characteristic into His hand, bowed slightly to the God of Steam to express gratitude, and then disappeared from the battlefield of the gods.
High above, the Storm Lord, wielding lightning, and the God of Steam in the illusory space were both somewhat puzzled. Why would the "Creator" seize the "Knowledge Emperor" Beyonder characteristic, which was not from an adjacent pathway, at such a crucial moment?
…
In the angel battlefield of the Minsk Mountains, Beverly "distorted" the position of her younger brother, Raymond, allowing him to appear in front of the "Brass Book."
The "Brass Book" was the Uniqueness of a pathway. It was difficult for the angels present to directly obtain it using their Beyonder abilities. They could only acquire this Grade 0 Sealed Artifact by physically grabbing it.
Larrion, the Chief Shepherd of the God of Combat Church, endured an attack from the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch," using the giant sword in his hand to force Raymond away. He bent down to pick up the "Brass Book," but as he bent over, his body suddenly lost balance, and he stumbled forward, stepping over the "Brass Book."
As an angel who had already undergone qualitative change, how could he make such a low-level mistake at such a crucial moment!
It was because he was too unlucky, encountering such a low-probability event!
At this time, Raymond threw a fireball next to the "Brass Book."
Boom!
An explosion blasted the "Brass Book," which was wrapped in a layer of twilight, away from Larrion.
As soon as the "Brass Book" landed, Beverly appeared next to it. Just as she was about to bend down and pick it up, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she dodged abruptly.
In the next instant, a hazy sword appeared on the ground, piercing upwards, almost hitting Beverly.
Tamara emerged from the ground, holding the sword in one hand. She reached out with her other hand to pick up the "Brass Book."
However, two hazy, illusory doors suddenly appeared in front of her. Tamara's hand passed through the illusory doors, reaching into the spirit world.
Even though the "Brass Book" was right in front of her, it felt as if it were separated by a very, very long distance.
Under a hazy crimson moonlight, Lilith, wearing a court dress and extremely beautiful, appeared in front of the "Brass Book": "It's not Trunsoest who came!"
In Hobert's prediction, Trunsoest would definitely be the first to appear, so he asked Lilith to come specifically to deal with Trunsoest.
…
In the Central Highlands, Philip I transformed into a white, illusory giant. Inside the illusory giant's body were flashing holy codes, abstract regulations, and cases judged using these regulations and codes, along with all the evidence and conclusions presented.
He spoke in a solemn voice: "This is the real world. The power of the non-real world is greatly weakened."
The "Underworld Gate" summoned by the "Pale Empress" immediately became much more illusory. Sia, hiding in the spirit world, was also affected, and the power projected into the real world was limited.
Trunsoest then said: "This is the real world. Philip, transformed into a complete mythical creature, does not conform to the relevant rules of the real world."
Philip I's figure suddenly became very weak: "Trunsoest is dead. His resurrection violates the laws of nature."
Trunsoest immediately felt the rules of the entire world repelling him: "Philip once pledged allegiance to Trunsoest and should be punished for his betrayal!"
A noose suddenly appeared from the illusion, trapping the tall Philip I and subjecting him to hanging.
His escape was once again blocked.
At this time, Sia completely emerged from the spirit world, opening her mouth to utter a silent curse. The tall Philip I immediately turned into a huge rooster.
The "Pale Empress" then reached out to Philip I, and the power of the Underworld tore at his spirit body, making him unable to move for a short time.
Trunsoest seized the opportunity to stab the slender "Sword of Order" into Philip I's chest. When he pulled out the slender sword, he used the power of "Order" and his own affinity for the "Hand of Order" Characteristic to pull out the Beyonder characteristic from Philip I's body.
The former Night Emperor reached out and grabbed, and the "Hand of Order" Beyonder characteristic came into his hand.
The giant rooster that Philip I had transformed into quickly collapsed, turning into illusory chunks of flesh, causing obvious mutations in the surrounding plants and animals.
Trunsoest took a step and quickly left here.
Sia left from the spirit world, the "Pale Empress" entered the "Underworld Gate" and left, leaving only Philip I, who was transforming into an evil spirit, on this battlefield.
…
In the Minsk Mountains, Larrion, the Chief Shepherd of the God of Combat Church, cleaved open the crimson moonlight in front of him with a sword. Then, he thrust the "Sword of Dawn" into the ground, and the giant sword immediately exploded into clusters of orange-red light spots.
Whether it was Lilith, who was about to pick up the "Brass Book," or Tamara, who used the ability of "Connection" to retrieve her arm from the spirit world, they were both within the attack range of the light spots.
Lilith had no choice but to refrain from picking up the "Brass Book" and instead summoned two hazy doors to block the clusters of light spots.
Tamara's legs were still in the ground, so she had no choice but to make the space in front of her chaotic, crushing the light spots flying towards her.
The "Hurricane of Light" not only exploded towards the two enemies but also knocked down Larrion himself.
He was too unlucky; he had actually forgotten to control the direction of the "Hurricane of Light."
At this time, Hobert arrived from the spirit world. Because the Uniqueness had been used for more than twenty seconds, he could not use it again today, so he simply participated in the battle here with a "small account."
Hobert briefly observed the angel battlefield here, and then the "Sword of Disorder" in his hand transformed into the shape of a javelin, raising his hand and throwing it towards Tamara, who had just emerged from the ground.
Tamara immediately used the "Sword of Disorder" in her hand to deflect the "Javelin," but the javelin suddenly exploded after it was inserted into the ground, forming a chaotic area around it.
This affected Tamara's ability. Originally, she wanted to "distort" her position, but instead, the surrounding weeds bloomed into flowers.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert arrived in front of the "Brass Book."
Larrion, who had been seriously injured, gasped for breath, his whole body emitting a twilight glow. He beckoned towards the "Brass Book," and the twilight light covering the "Brass Book" became even brighter, and this Sealed Artifact flew towards Larrion.
However, Larrion was one step too late, and Hobert stepped on the "Brass Book" with his foot. Larrion was really too unlucky; he had been very unsuccessful since the start of the battle.
Tamara, who had broken free from the chaotic space, "distorted" Hobert's two legs into one. The leg he used to step on the "Brass Book" became illusory.
Lilith, who was on the side, had a chance at this time, bending down to pick up the "Brass Book," but above the "Brass Book," it seemed that a layer of transparent copper walls and iron walls suddenly appeared.
Lilith raised her head and saw Sia, who only showed her upper body from the spirit world.
She sneered, opening a small summoning door on Sia's forehead, summoning an illusory shadow from there.
This shadow was in its thirties, wearing clothes in the style of the Southern Continent, looking at the surrounding battlefield with a cold expression.
Sia trembled all over, grabbed the figure, and quickly hid back into the spirit world.
What Lilith summoned just now was the "Rational Sia." Without the rational part, Sia, who was in poor condition, was in danger of losing control.
Taking advantage of the disappearance of the "Spiritual Barrier," Tamara reached out to grab the "Brass Book."
Hobert retaliated in kind, "altering" Tamara's two arms into one, and the arm Tamara used to grab the "Brass Book" immediately disappeared.
At this moment, two bronze doors suddenly appeared on the ground beneath the "Brass Book." It was a small "Underworld Gate," and surprisingly, it could open inward!
However, a beam of silver-white light suddenly struck the "Underworld Gate," destroying the gate summoned by Beyonder power, instantly placing it between reality and illusion. The "Brass Book" did not fall inside.
The silver-white light was Larrion's ability, capable of disrupting all extraordinary powers, rendering the target's abilities ineffective.
Lilith reached out for the third time, but a leather whip suddenly appeared in the void, lashing the "Brass Book" aside.
In the direction where the "Brass Book" fell, two slender hands appeared. Trunsoest was there, about to catch the "Brass Book."
The whip from before was summoned by Him, a punishment for the "Brass Book."
A very strange scene appeared at this moment: Hobert, Lilith, the "Pale Empress," Trunsoest, Tamara, the five Archangels, and "Glory" Larrion were very close to each other, even able to touch each other with a few steps forward.
But they all focused their attention on the "Brass Book," constantly using Beyonder abilities to prevent others from obtaining this Sealed Artifact.
Beverly and Raymond, who were slightly further away, couldn't "get involved."
Just as Trunsoest was about to touch the "Brass Book," His outstretched hand suddenly veered off course, perfectly missing the "Brass Book."
It was a very comical scene; Trunsoest actually failed to grab "Trunsoest's Brass Book."
It turned out that Hobert had "distorted" Trunsoest's sense of direction, turning His forward gesture into a gesture to the left.
At this moment, the Angels noticed that the twilight-colored light enveloping the "Brass Book" suddenly faded.
Everyone was slightly stunned, and after a second or two, that layer of light suddenly disappeared.
Larrion looked towards Backlund with some disbelief. The twilight-colored sky there rapidly receded, and a starry night sky covered the entire sky.
…
On the hills north of Backlund.
Audrey and Fors saw that within that dark "kingdom" filled with moonflowers and night-blooming jasmine, the Twilight Giant's longsword was cleaved onto the heavy, pitch-black scythe, frozen in mid-air.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still. Whether it was the giant draped in decaying armor, bathed in twilight, or the humanoid demon wolf wearing a starry dress, with six arms, they all seemed to become part of an oil painting, standing in place, maintaining their previous postures.
However, a dark brown wooden staff was inserted into the back of the Twilight Giant, frantically drawing the god's life, dragging the opponent back to the earth, back to the mother's embrace.
This dark brown wooden staff was held in the hand of that giant, plump lady, forming an autumn scene with the constantly withering and decaying flowers, grass, and mushrooms on Her body.
The Twilight Giant slowly turned its head, looking at the lady holding a illusory infant in one hand. At this moment, the infant in Her arms actually looked much more solid, seemingly able to see his appearance clearly.
Audrey and Fors, who were watching from afar, were stunned. That infant actually had some resemblance to Hobert!
At this moment, the Twilight Giant let out a painful sound: "Li, Lilith?"
At this time, the Evernight Goddess, wearing a starry dress and having a female human head, chuckled, letting the bird-shaped golden ornament in her hand fly out on its own, accurately inserting it into the gap in the Twilight Giant's mask.
Then, She threw the "Crimson Moon" held in Her other two hands to the plump lady.
In the next second, part of the Twilight Giant's body collapsed, and clusters of orange-red twilight penetrated the peaceful darkness, falling back into the real world.
Some of them fell on the battlefield, causing countless soldiers to die directly. Some crushed mountain peaks, creating a lake that could age all living beings. Some merged with certain lucky creatures, turning them into crazy and powerful monsters. Some enveloped the Twilight Giant Hall outside Saint Millon, causing the solidified orange-red to extinguish instantly.
…
In a small, unnoticed church in the outskirts of Backlund.
A devout priest wearing a simple white robe, with a light golden beard, opened his eyes, revealing a child-like clarity and innocence.
He calmly took out a bottle of golden potion from his arms, unscrewed the lid, and poured the liquid inside into his mouth.
