Su Lun looked at the divine will descending from the sky being crushed, his heart overwheld with joy.
He had never imagined that such a terrifying Cyclops still existed in the broken Alchemy plane.
The Three-eyed Deity of the divine plane had also not expected it, which is why it had taken such a beating.
Even for a deity, descending from a higher plane was not without cost; this ti, the crushed descending will must also have been severely damaged.
According to Su Lun's knowledge, in the divine plane, the followers correspond only to one deity. Thus, even if that Saint "Frank" was not dead, it was highly likely that it would be a long ti before he could summon the divine will again.
This was good news for the Dawn Group and even for the entire Alchemy plane.
...
In the instant that Su Lun's thoughts were rapidly turning, that giant hand stretching from the sea had already retracted.
Beyond the turbulent waters, no trace could be seen anymore.
The force of Power of Laws that had been devastating also disappeared without a trace, making it unfathomable that such a mighty presence was hidden beneath the sea.
It was then that Su Lun finally snapped out of his slightly intimidated state.
Having witnessed a battle above the ninth order, Su Lun was also deeply moved: "How powerful... Is this the power that rivals that of a deity."
This must certainly be the pinnacle of combat power on the Alchemy plane now.
He had once heard Mr. Jing describe it; Sir Isaac had such terrifying combat power back in the day.
But no matter how many tis he heard it, it was nowhere near as profound as seeing it with his own eyes.
Especially the fluctuations of higher-order laws, even if he only understood so superficial appearances, allowed Su Lun to grasp so precious insights.
In a sense, this was an opportunity not to be missed. Because elsewhere, it would be impossible to witness such a battle again.
Su Lun also guessed why the Cyclops was sleeping at the bottom of the sea.
Because it was simply too strong.
Raising its hand, it easily blasted a rift in the plane; one could imagine if it moved normally, this plane might not be able to withstand its presence.
Even just now, that being had only lifted an arm, not its entire body from the sea.
Su Lun watched this and couldn't help but feel moved.
First, it was the dragons pouring out from all over, and now a sleeping demigod Cyclops King was awoken; truly, he had seen more in one day than many might in countless years.
The folks of the divine plane were rather unlucky.
Whether it was the 100% magic resistant "Shield of Innocence" or the "Horn of Doom of Jalar" that could summon Titan progeny, possessing these two Artifact Projections, they could almost walk sideways in any part of the Alchemy plane today.
If it wasn't for the Dawn Group forcing their hand, they would likely have chosen a more cautious approach, slowly exploring and treasure hunting. They wouldn't summon any Titan spirits or any divine will and had a very high chance of successfully acquiring the "Mimir's Well."
Unfortunately... their luck was not very good.
From setting sail until now, they had been consecutively heavily injured by Dawn's people, not only were several ten-thousand-mber Mage groups completely destroyed, but several eighth-order great Mages had also died or were crippled.
Just now, they were driven to desperation, so they had to resort to force.
They didn't expect that, upon using force, they would et such a tough nut to crack.
However, Su Lun found the current situation quite to his liking.
After that giant hand crushed the divine will in the sky, its residual power lingered, and those Titan creatures also did not dare approach Giant Island again.
On the other hand, although the battle near Hell Volcano was still fierce, the balance of the war had clearly shifted.
With the deities crushed, the morale of those folks from the divine plane naturally plumted.
Su Lun was guarding the entrance of the Temple of Gorr, and suddenly felt a great reduction in pressure.
At that mont, good news arrived again.
By his side, a sowhat bored Pestoya suddenly spoke up, "I think I've found where those guys who summon deities from the divine plane are hiding."
Su Lun listened, looking at the Ghost lady beside him, "Where?"
Pestoya pointed to the northwest, saying, "Over there, quite far, about... well, very far anyway."
She tried her best to describe the distance, but still couldn't pinpoint it accurately, then added, "When that divine will descended just now, I distinctly felt a wave of divine power from that direction."
Su Lun looked at her little face frowning, knowing that this Ghost lady wasn't very good with distances, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
However, since she had sensed the enemy's location, that indeed solved a big problem.
As long as those people from the divine plane were dealt with, the problems here might be completely resolved.
However, Su Lun glanced again inside the temple where Queen dusa's soul fluctuations were still not very stable and seed to need more ti.
Although the Titan monsters had beco disorderly and were not specifically encircling Kokolossi Island, without anyone here to guard it, a slip-up could waste all previous efforts.
Just as he was hesitating, a telepathic ssage suddenly ca from his mind: "The temple no longer needs guarding. The wizard from the celestial plane and Astrelide that you killed were my greatest threats."
The tone was very calm, but the ability to speak distractedly was clearly a sign of stability.
Su Lun also felt relieved upon hearing this.
The greatest threat to dusa was the wizard who possessed the "Mirror of Filth" and her sister, the renegade eighth-level Gorgon.
Now that both were dead, indeed the greatest threat no longer existed.
As for the rest, Queen dusa herself was not one to be trifled with, even though she was still undergoing so sort of legacy consciousness.
Her implication was naturally that there was no need for him to guard the temple anymore.
Su Lun then confird once more, "Then I will leave first to deal with those wizards. If there is a problem, Your Highness can telepathically communicate with , and I can co back imdiately."
"Mhm."
A swift reply ca from Queen dusa.
Although the tone was a bit harsh, Su Lun did not mind as after all, it was an alliance, and it was sufficient that both parties adhere to the oath of the alliance.
Just as Su Lun was about to leave, another ssage ca: "Thank you."
Su Lun's eyes flickered with surprise; he hadn't expected the demigod Queen dusa to express gratitude.
In terms of strength and the level of life, she had sufficient pride.
This was indeed a friendly gesture as an ally, so he responded politely, "Your Highness is too kind."
As he spoke, there was a flicker of spatial shaking, and Su Lun had already disappeared from the spot.
Upon closer observation, from the dim and lightless temple, it seed as though a chilling gaze had looked out.
Although Queen dusa was temporarily unable to leave the temple due to her inheritance, she had sensed everything, even at the most critical monts when Su Lun had still guarded outside the temple.
The courage, insight, and strength of a "Legendary Hero" indeed weren't ordinary.
As allies, this human, Su Lun, had made a good impression on her.
...
Su Lun had teleported in an instant, and the scenery changed; he was already appearing above the sea.
The turbulent waves caused by the great battle were still raging,
Su Lun led Pestroya all the way, teleporting over the sea, entirely depending on the not-so-good sense of direction of the ghostly lady.
"A bit more to that side..."
"Right. I feel we are very close now. It's that deserted island..."
"..."
Fortunately, after a few teleports, the two finally landed on a deserted island a few dozen nautical miles northwest of Kokolossi Island.
If it weren't for Pestroya confirming that the divine power fluctuations were emanating from here, Su Lun wouldn't have been able to detect any problems.
After arriving on the island, he carefully searched and discovered a barely perceptible spatial node.
It was just like in the Atlantis Temple, where Mr. Hei discovered a space with the Philosopher's Stone, concealed by a very ingenious spatial seal.
If it wasn't for Pestroya insisting it was here, even Su Lun himself would have missed it, having been here already.
"Hidden inside a spatial node..."
Su Lun looked on and sneered inwardly, no wonder they hadn't been found.
Those guys probably thought they were undiscovered, still hidden inside. Su Lun did not hesitate, he pinched a sorcerer's seal with his hand and directly destroyed the spatial node.
With a loud "bang," suddenly, five hundred individuals dressed in white robes resembling priest robes appeared on this barren island.
As Su Lun had expected, this was the group of ascetic monks that had disappeared.
Having previously killed a group of ascetic monks outside Eklundhsa, the capital of the Silver Dragon Kingdom, he was well aware of their tricks. He would not give these individuals a chance to activate their "Passive Suffering Fury."
The mont these people appeared, thousands of gargoyle figures floating in the sky imdiately launched their punches.
This group of five hundred was originally quite powerful, possibly comparable to half of a ten thousand mage group, but now Su Lun gave them no opportunity to retaliate. With overpowering force, the gargoyles overwheld them in numbers, wiping out the entire group in a single encounter.
As these ascetic monks died, the "Horn of Apocalypse" Artifact Projection in the sky also instantly disappeared.
"Heh... It was indeed these guys manipulating it."
When Su Lun saw this, the last bit of worry in his heart also dissipated.
This ti, the problem was completely resolved.
Once the sound of the horn that could drive the titan spirits and blood descendant monsters ceased, the monsters that had been fighting the dragon legion also imdiately cald down.
At that mont, they seed to have regained their senses as one by one, they withdrew from the battlefield, no longer marching to their deaths. The titan monsters that had previously co from further away to assist also subrged into the sea and disappeared.
The noise of the battle instantly diminished, except near Hell Volcano, where the dragons were still fiercely fighting those titan spirits.
However, it looked like the overall situation was decided, with the dragons clearly having a greater chance of victory.
Su Lun wandered around the deserted island, collecting the spoils of war into his miniature void world.
He checked with the Eternal Night crew, and the situation had also instantly improved. With no monster threats, they seed to be in no danger and could even salvage so of the carcasses of the giant beasts that had died in battle.
The combatants just now included draconic and titanic beings, providing materials that couldn't be found elsewhere.
Su Lun saw that there seed to be no danger and didn't rush back to the ship but teleported back to Cocolossi Island once again.
At this mont, the monsters that had landed on the island had retreated, and Su Lun hadn't forgotten about the last two mage legions of ten thousand that had landed here.
Now with the legion commander Augustus dead and the Saint Frank's divine descent severely damaged and missing, these guys without leaders also fought each for themselves.
When Su Lun arrived, it was probably because Queen dusa had already completely gained control over the power of her own Gorugen Tribe, those myriad colorful Poison Snakes obeyed her command and had already spread across the island to surround and kill the Celestial Plane's people.
But those mages, for Su Lun, were also destined to be completely eradicated.
Letting the snakes kill them would just be a waste.
He located the position of the magic fluctuations, teleported several tis, and almost effortlessly harvested these mages whose morale had already collapsed.
The ships that these guys had used to land were already completely destroyed, and even if so had survived, it would be impossible for them to leave the island alive.
By the ti Su Lun had done all this, half a day had already passed.
He then returned to the entrance of the Gorugen Temple.
At this mont, Queen dusa hadn't co out yet, but her soul's fluctuations had already beco much stronger and stabilized.
Su Lun did not disturb her.
He let Thousand Miles out as well, and both of them, with great interest, observed the high-ranking pureblood dragons still battling the titan spirits at Hell Volcano from afar.
Two six-rank giant dragons leading a group of five-rank and six-rank pureblood dragons in various frenzied attacks, made for a fascinating spectacle.
For Su Lun and Thousand Miles, who were currently at a high realm, watching such peak planar battles greatly benefited their understanding of the Power of Laws.
However, without the sound of the horn calling them, the number of titan spirits dwindled, and eventually, the dragons erged victorious.
...
When the battle started, it was bright and sunny, and by the ti it ended, the dawning sun had already lit up the sea.
Two figures sat on top of a colossal broken pillar of the temple, watching the sunrise behind the towering Hell Volcano and the spectacular scene of the dragons returning to their nests.
Thousand Miles muttered with great vigor, "Ah... so many pureblood dragons."
Su Lun, knowing what she was thinking, also said, "Once these dragon clans have returned to their nests, we can linger around Hell Volcano a bit, and perhaps we can scavenge so carcasses."
From that great battle, they had seen at least dozens of pureblood dragons and countless flying dragons plunge into the sea.
In the eyes of the beasts, these were just food.
But through the eyes of the alchemists, it was as if mountains of gold had fallen into the water.
Waiting for the aftermath of the battle to subside, they planned to go and salvage a bit, which shouldn't be a problem.
Things seed to suddenly all be developing for the better.
"Whoosh," "Whoosh," "Whoosh"...
Above their heads, several giant dragons swiftly swept past, flying back to their nests.
However, before long, an unexpected situation occurred.
Suddenly urgent news ca from the Eternal Night, "Mr. Su Lun, it's bad! We have been attacked by giants dragons!"
The mont he heard this, Su Lun's face drastically changed, knowing there was a serious problem!
If encountering dragons elsewhere, as long as they weren't rank six, they wouldn't pose much threat to the Dawn Brigade.
But right now, it wasn't just one or two but hundreds of pureblood giants dragons, along with countless draconic beings.
If they really provoked them, not even a hundred Dawn Brigades could escape alive from this sea area.
He didn't dare to delay in the slightest, notified the temple using spiritual communication, and took Thousand Miles with him in a long-range teleport, appearing on the deck of the Eternal Night dozens of leagues away.
When he arrived, he saw the deck in the midst of a fierce battle.
Looking closely, three vicious dragons were furiously attacking the Eternal Night.
One eighth-tier white dragon was spouting dragon breath, freezing the ship on the sea surface, while the other two, a seventh-tier red dragon and a sixth-tier small green dragon, were spewing fire and various poisons, respectively.
Normally, these three giant dragons would not have been invincible to the Dawn Group, but it was clear to everyone that at this critical mont, they definitely could not go all out.
Otherwise, if hatred escalated, the consequences would be uncontrollable.
Thus, no. 19 and Old Sword God Bartolo were dragging the white dragon away in the distant sky, deliberately avoiding the Eternal Night.
Su Lun could see that both were holding back in their moves, not using "Dragon Slayer Potion" and hardly dealt fatal blows.
Otherwise, the sixth-tier green dragon would have been slain on the spot.
As soon as Su Lun returned, he saw flas burning everywhere on the deck of the Eternal Night, and the hull was more or less damaged.
The arrogant seventh-tier red dragon was dive-bombing at low altitude, flying while spewing flas, aiming to destroy the ship's mast.
The dragons naturally possessed command no less than humans, they knew that to kill these humans, they had to destroy the ship first.
Just as Su Lun landed, he saw the seventh-tier red dragon muster its strength to break through the encirclent of Barrett and the chanical warrior legion, heading straight for the mast.
He dared not delay for a mont; with a teleport, he appeared in front of the mast, raised his hand, and summoned dozens of the strongest gargoyles around him, all punching towards the front.
Rings of spatial ripples surged above their fists, with a "thud," the red dragon slamd into an invisible wall, making the nearby space tremble.
This commotion was not small and caught the attention of everyone on the Eternal Night.
Seeing it was Su Lun, everyone seed to relax simultaneously, excitedly saying, "Mr. Su Lun is back!"
The mbers of the Dawn Group now had a mysterious firm belief, as if everything would be resolved once Su Lun returned.
Su Lun had no ti to greet everyone; his gaze sharpened, and he quickly summoned hundreds more gargoyles.
The move just now was "Spatial Shaking," aiming to stop the red dragon without inflicting severe harm.
But the red dragon clearly didn't appreciate it, being staggered by the impact, soon retaliating with a ferocious dragon roar and spewing flas.
Su Lun raised his hand, and again hundreds of gargoyles simultaneously raised their palms forward, creating black hole vortices that swallowed up the fiery dragon breath.
The sly look in the red dragon's eyes also revealed so confusion as to why this seemingly weak human could withstand it.
And having been thwarted twice consecutively, the great dragon's pride was challenged.
The red dragon, unable to suppress its fury, spread its wings and dived again.
While defending, Su Lun also used his spiritual power to transmit, "Honorable Dragon, we an no harm to you and do not intend to offend..."
He had been polite enough, but how could dragonkind possibly communicate with re lowly humans?
The red dragon clearly understood, its wise amber eyes reflecting a mocking emotion.
It had no intention of ceasing hostilities, charging at Su Lun and spouting a breath of dragon fire again.
Su Lun, already familiar with the arrogance of dragonkind, knew well that these negotiations would lead nowhere.
Seeing the red dragon spewing dragon breath again, Su Lun once more released thousands of gargoyles, this ti almost completely covering the ship with the gargoyle legion.
The fiery breath from the red dragon proved ineffective, being absorbed as soon as it was spewed.
This further enraged the red dragon, which let out a furious dragon cry. Suddenly, the eighth-tier white dragon broke free from the engagent with no. 19 and Bartolo and rushed towards the ship.
An eighth-tier giant dragon's strength was nearly that of a ninth-tier alchemist. How fast was this white dragon?
Before the Dawn Group mbers could react, they only saw a flash of white light, and with a "thud," the white dragon slamd into the deck.
The dragon's aura, mixed with unabashed killing intent, intimidated the lower-ranking mbers on the deck instantly.
Su Lun's gargoyle defensive line was also instantly broken through, and several sailors were frozen by the dragon breath on the spot.
At that mont, any positive feelings he previously had for the dragonkind defending against Titans' spirits vanished.
In this world, only strength spoke.
These arrogant dragons truly held no regard for humans.
Previously, as there were no casualties, a discussion was feasible. Now that there were casualties, these malicious dragons, even if they wanted to leave, could not!
"Kill!"
Su Lun's eyes burst out with killing intent as he decisively ordered, "Activate the spatial alchemy array, prepare to evacuate!"
The Dawn Group was never powerless to fight, they just didn't want to incite trouble.
