But currently, Xiao Guang had a slight advantage.
As ntioned before, even among beings of the sa level, there could be significant differences in strength.
Seth had probably not been unsealed for long. Apart from the weapon called the Artifact, Flower of Withering, she didn’t possess anything noteworthy in terms of equipnt. One could even describe her as sowhat shabby.
On the other hand, as a pet ticulously nurtured by Violet, everything used by the little dragon girl was carefully selected, top-of-the-line equipnt that suited her best. She had consud nurous precious treasures, enjoyed countless permanent enhancent blessings, and with the superlative growth of an SSS-tier pet, her total attributes were not inferior to Miss Priestess herself at level 110.
Not to ntion that Seth was not yet fully restored as the Goddess of Earth.
Xiao Guang was far stronger than her opponent. Although it might not be easy to determine a winner in the short term, both sides probably held their own hidden cards. However, as long as there were no major changes, the outco could still be predicted.
While the battle raged in the sky, Violet wasn’t just standing there watching. The reason she let the little dragon girl take action was not only because she trusted her pet and wanted to give her a chance to perform but also because she had other matters to attend to.
The black-haired girl lowered her head, looking at the dense gray clouds beneath her feet.
This was the domain of countless Death Mists—the manifestation of the condensed Withered Divine Power.
Perhaps because Seth had not yet regained all of the Goddess of Earth’s divinity and fully returned to her divine status, her so-called “God Realm” could not descend completely. It was still a “pseudo-God Realm” similar to the thod used by Minerva.
The concept was roughly the sa as the illusory realm constructed by the Mist in the past, although that should have been a more basic prototype, fundantally similar in nature.
And these gray clouds, used to assist in constructing the pseudo-God Realm and enhancing Seth’s combat power, were originally blocked by the Sky City’s defensive array. However, after Estila’s defeat and the breaking of the barrier, they began to move.
Yes, these clouds are descending.
If left unchecked, the entire Sky City, and even the Sky Island, will probably be completely engulfed, turning into a dead land of extinction. Judging from the slaughter carried out by those Abyssal Beasts so far, Seth probably ca here with the intention of exterminating this place.
As a god, she indeed possesses such power.
Violet couldn’t possibly allow such a thing to happen. The Sky Island is ho to millions of various creatures, and Felina and Edwina are still in the city.
“Sigh, it seems that things are going to get ssy this ti. Why do people always like to stir up trouble?”
Although she complained with her mouth, Miss Priestess’s actions were not slow. The dragons and the goddess in the distance had already been flying around in the sky, sparks and lightning flashing along the way. Violet took the opportunity to focus, slightly lowering her altitude, and cast a spell she had used once before when dealing with the Southern Calamity.
“【Radiance of the Holy Light】.”
She sang softly, and then, flowers blood.
Under Miss Priestess’s deliberate control, the flas of light did not rise upwards like they did last ti. Instead, they ford an inverted ring and gently landed on the floating Sky Temple.
“Hum~”
From the center of the blooming flower, pure golden light spread out in all directions, forming a magnificent and vast shelter. It extended infinitely, representing the withered gray clouds being once again isolated. The light illuminated the night sky, surpassing the limits of the city’s protective magic, far exceeding it and crushing it.
The sacred light protected the entire majestic floating island.
This was a feat covering tens of thousands of square kiloters of vast land, achievable only by the power of true gods.
Embassy of the Human United Kingdom.
“Radiant Slash!”
With her well-honed technique, the Holy Knight Edwina once again felled the grim-robed enemy who attacked her fiercely, breathing lightly.
Although she knew these were just poor people controlled by parasites, she had no room for rcy or holding back. The enemies all ca at her with the mindset of killing her, even if it ant dying with her. They wouldn’t stop until they completely lost their ability to act.
Even though she had reached the legendary realm, Edwina dared not hold back against these fearless and fanatical creatures.
During her ti following the Goddess, she had learned a lot and grown a lot. While kindness was important, it would be foolish to pity enemies at the expense of herself or her companions.
“Miss Edwina, are you okay? Are you tired? Here, have so water and take a rest!”
Just after repelling this wave of enemies, the girl from the village, Theresa, whom the Goddess had entrusted her to take care of, hurried over. She wiped the sweat from Edwina’s forehead and the blood stains from her armor with a damp cloth and offered her so water that she had prepared in advance.
A golden light orb spun around the village girl as she moved. It hadn’t joined the battle just now but had been by Theresa’s side the entire ti.
“I’m fine, thank you for your concern.”
Edwina nodded in gratitude.
Although she seed simple at first glance, Theresa was indeed a very kind and pure-hearted girl, like an uncut gem. It was no wonder the Goddess had taken notice of her and bestowed her with the protection of the Holy Spirit. Presumably, Theresa was also one of the candidates to beco a divine envoy or priestess.
However, Edwina dared not speculate on the thoughts of the divine beings.
“You’ve worked hard, Miss Edwina.”
The fully ard envoy leader, Felina, walked over from the other side, with drops of blood staining her sword.
“Thank goodness, can you hold up over there?”
Felina shook her head with a bitter smile.
“These rabble won’t pose too much of a problem for the ti being. The real issue lies above. You’ve seen it too. The protective barrier of the Sky City just shattered. That signifies...”
Without hesitation, the Holy Knight interrupted the envoy, her face displaying unwavering determination and devotion.
“Don’t worry about that. The radiance of the Goddess shines upon us. When the ti cos, She will perform miracles. We only need to do our duty.”
“Even if you say so... the death mist in the sky is getting closer. You saw what happened earlier. If necessary, we’ll have to risk our lives and escape using the treasure bestowed by Her Majesty.”
“Miss Felina, I won’t go anywhere. This is the will of God.”
“Ah, you religious people are truly...”
At that mont, a golden light suddenly descended, turning the night into a sanctified temple.
“????!!!”
“Miss Edwina, quickly look at the sky! Could that be...?”
The Holy Knight girl’s crystalline golden hair fluttered in the wind, echoing the radiance behind her, like a corner of brilliance. Compared to the shocked, bewildered, and confused Felina and others, she only revealed a faint smile of understanding after the surprise.
Then, she bowed towards the brilliant golden flower blooming in the sky, radiant like stars, and the manifested hundred-yard silhouette of the divine.
It was a blurry figure of a girl with dazzling white wings on her back, black hair cascading down like a waterfall, enveloped in golden light. Around her, an infinitely vast sanctuary had already taken shape.
In a voice only she could hear, the Holy Knight murmured,
“I welco Your descent, Supre Lord, the magnificent shining God...”
