'I wonder what law they have comprehended.'
Kiza thought as he focused his attacks on Bai Yung.
Yet, the same thing happened again. The frozen pillars were decimated by the cutting intent of Abel's Sword Law.
'I can't let this continue.'
With the battle reaching a stalemate, he decided to seek assistance from his family.
Activating his communication device, he was surprised to find that his nephew, a fellow Godspirit, was unresponsive.
'What's going on?'
He repeatedly tried to contact his nephew, Kiro, and the rest of his descendants, but his communication device failed to connect to any of them.
'They're behind this.'
Unable to reach anyone in the kingdom, he realized that the masked lifeforms were responsible.
"We're actually alive."
Staring at the Godspirit, Feng Huo couldn't believe they had fought against him and survived.
"Both of them are the reason for that."
He glanced at his commander and the sword prodigy.
'I must become stronger.'
Lu Chong made the vow in a whisper.
The attacks from both Bai Yung and Abel had made him feel an immense sense of pressure.
Recalling the battle that had just occurred, Abel gained a clearer understanding of how Godspirits fought.
'It's no wonder the information on Godspirits provided by the lord states that the difference in combat strength between Godspirits of the same level can be almost as great as the difference between Godspirits of different levels.'
'The amount of divine energy they possess can play a massive role in their combat strength.'
The prodigy thought as he recalled how difficult it had been for his will to override Kiza's, largely because of the protection offered by his divine energy.
Since each individual comprehended a unique godhood path, most Godspirits only comprehended one path consisting of a single common law.
However, there were geniuses and fortunate individuals who comprehended two or more common laws, or even a fundamental law such as space, time, life, death, karma, and so on.
During their advancement to Godspirit, the amount of promotion energy required differed between the two groups.
For instance, soldiers of the First Army require two trillion promotion energy to advance, rather than the one trillion needed by a Legendary-tier lifeform that had only comprehended a godhood path consisting of a single law.
After becoming Godspirits, the amount of divine energy they could retain naturally differed as well, resulting in a massive disparity in strength.
Still, the primary reason for the difference in combat strength ultimately came down to their godhood paths.
While his soldiers and Kiza remained locked in a stalemate, Zhou Zhou focused on the situation in the Golden Radiance Kingdom.
At that moment, a total of 183 Legendary-tier lifeforms had arrived at the mountain range and were attacking the formation protecting the Book of the Godspirit.
Seeing the number of powerhouses gathering in his kingdom, the king of the Golden Radiance Kingdom dared not send his army to secure the divine artifact for King Kiro.
Having reached a unified decision to destroy the formation before fighting among themselves for the Book of the Godspirit, the Legendary-tier powerhouses remained wary of those around them.
"Once more of them arrive, I'll deactivate the formation and let them slaughter each other."
Blazing Sun smiled as his plan continued to unfold successfully.
"Hey, you at the back! What have you done aside from declaring your group revolutionaries?!"
Having decided to retreat, Kiza shouted, hoping to obtain as much information as possible from the so-called revolutionaries.
"Watch."
Zhou Zhou replied before returning to ignoring Kiza.
Realizing that he couldn't obtain any information from Zhou Zhou, Kiza began retreating.
The moment Kiza started retreating, Abel launched another attack.
However, he watched as the frozen pillars surrounding the ice demon survived the cutting intent from his law.
"Trying to stall me? You should do better."
Keeping the pillars close around him, Kiza continued retreating as Abel failed to stop him.
Abel watched as Kiza endured his attacks while freely withdrawing from the battlefield.
"Commander!"
He called out to Bai Yung for help.
Bai Yung had already taken action before Abel even called.
With a mere thought, he brought a possible future in which Kiza failed to properly deploy his divine energy into reality.
"Fuck!"
Kiza cursed as Abel took advantage of his mistake, destroying his defenses and rendering his Legendary-tier armor almost useless.
'If I make any more mistakes, I might end up dead.'
He muttered as he put up another defense and continued his retreat.
Attacking once more, the duo broke through Kiza's defenses.
!!
"Grww!"
Kiza growled in pain as his left blue arm was minced into smithereens.
'There's no way I could make the same mistake twice. That one is definitely behind it.'
'I'd better escape, or I might actually die!'
Terrified by the situation, he grew frenzied as he struggled to escape the range of Bai Yung's and Abel's will.
