Night Ranger

The forces from Feinan were shockingly united.

There had been no prior negotiation. In this situation, the pressure from the invaders made them stand together.

Marvin felt rather moved.

Although Professor didn’t need to make a move since Marvin was sure that he could have withstood the Berserk God’s hammer, what made Marvin feel pleasantly surprised was that the Copper Dragon’s strength seemed to have increased.

In the past, Professor had been seriously injured due to his fight with Ancient Red Dragon Ell and fell to an assassination as a result. But in this life, Marvin changed his fate and played a critical effort in the Dragon God’s Wrath event, altering the course of history.

Professor didn’t have that world-shaking fight with Ell, and thus preserved his strength.

And from what Marvin could tell, his strength must have gone up a realm!

This might be related to Butterfly’s return. After all, increasing Professor’s realm wouldn’t require any particularly difficult actions. He only needed a large amount of time.

’He should be about the same as me, with the level of strength second only to Plane Guardians…’

Noticing the power of the Dragon’s aura, Marvin was even more resolute.

With such a powerful group supporting him, he wouldn’t face the pressure of the Astral Sea, Hell, and the Abyss alone.

He stood with his back straight.

He stood at the forefront and could feel many gazes upon him.

Those behind him were all looking at him with trust.

They believed in him, and thus they stood behind him.

The meaning behind the actions of Feinan’s most powerful Legends was very clear. Regardless of who managed to acquire the Fate Tablet, it would belong to Feinan.

If those invaders wanted to conquer this world, they would face extreme resistance.

The battle for the Fate Tablet was just a preview for what was to come.

...

”You dare fight the Gods!”

After his attack failed, the Berserk God became angry as he reached out and recalled his hammer. He had been caught by surprise, but would not allow that to happen again.

The other powerhouses from that group were watching dumbfoundedly from the sidelines, but Feinan’s forces were united, giving the others a feeling of crisis.

One of them suddenly frowned and asked, ”Holy Paul? Why are you standing over there? Is this the will of the God of Dawn?”

After these words came out, everyone focused their gazes on the man shrinking behind Eve.

Even Marvin and the Berserk God turned and looked at him strangely.

Feinan’s powerhouses and the Gods were antagonistic, so as the son of a God, it should be impossible for him to be behind Marvin.

Unless the God of Dawn and Protection had some other plans… But if that really was the case, then this would be terrible for the Astral Sea.

If the motives of the three Great Gods diverged, with one of them seeming to have chosen to support the leader of Feinan’s defenders, how could the others attack?

Could they even attack Holy Paul?

This would be a declaration of war against one of the most powerful Gods of the Astral Sea!

Even if the Apostles and Divine Servants wanted to attack anyways, their Gods certainly wouldn’t allow it. They knew that they would suffer from Anuba Grant’s fury afterwards if his son came to any harm, and they wouldn’t be long for the world.

Fortunately, Holy Paul simply explained, ”I’ve been abducted, you can just ignore me.”

As he said this, he glanced timidly at Eve. The latter kept her face expressionless.

They were all stunned.

The son of the great God of Dawn and Protection descended to Feinan… and was abducted by a mortal?

What sort of preposterous excuse was that!

Some were already inwardly scolding Holy Paul for his shamelessness. He obviously was choosing to stand on the side of Marvin, but came up with such a flimsy excuse for it.

But the true powerhouses saw some clues.

Their eyes focused on a particular holy sword on Eve’s back.

Just from glancing too closely, they each felt like their Divine Source was on the brink of collapse!

The hearts of everyone there, including those nineteen, skipped a beat!

The Anzema Holy Sword!

A name even more frightening than that of Sodom’s Blades echoed in the Divine Servants’ minds.

The name of the Valkyrie that beheaded countless Ancient Angels and Devils came back from a long-forgotten corner of their memories.

If that sword was genuine… then Holy Paul might not be lying at all.

He really had been abducted.

The atmosphere became grimmer.

Even the overbearing Berserk God looked at Eve with a twinge of fear.

Marvin looked at this scene, a bit surprised.

To be honest, he didn’t know that much about Eve, and he hadn’t had much contact with her.

But he still knew a bit about the Valkyrie’s three Holy Swords. The three Holy Swords restrained all kinds of enemies in the Universe, and of them, the Anzema Holy Sword had been created by the 1st Generation Valkyrie in order to face the Gods themselves.

Like Sodom’s Blades, the Anzema Holy Sword had killed who knew how many Gods, and even Ancient Angels that were more powerful than Gods.

Thus, when these insignificant Divine Servants saw the Anzema Holy Sword, they felt like they were on the verge of having a mental breakdown.

If not for them having enough willpower to barely resist, the bits of aura being scattered by the Anzema Holy Sword might have already destroyed their Divine Source!

Sodom’s Blades, the Anzema Holy Sword.

The group of peak powerhouses from Feinan standing near the Sky Tower.

Those people from the Astral Sea were speechless.

Feinan’s unyielding answer shocked them, and the frightening strength that they now displayed far exceeded what they had predicted!

Many of them started praying to their Gods… This was the biggest disadvantage of Divine Servants. So many years of firm obedience and belief in their Gods made them lose the ability to think on their own!

Whenever they met a problem, they would request help from their Gods.

Because the Gods always pointed out the bright path.

This was the power of faith, and the problem with faith.

The atmosphere was thick and oppressive.

The people in the First Mountain Range were split into three groups.

The most fearsome at the moment was naturally Feinan’s side, headed by Marvin and Eve. Next was the group of nineteen powerhouses headed by the few from the Astral Sea. The rest mostly came from Hell, the Abyss, and the Negative Energy Plane, silently forming a third force, but they were all on guard against each other.

Especially the Devils of the Nine Hells. They were more vigilant of each other than ever before. Diross’ unusual move threw the Nine Hells into sheer pandemonium. Meanwhile, the Demons of the Abyss didn’t even understand the concept of cooperation. They only knew how to bully the weak and destroy order. Among all the forces of the battlefield, the Abyss had the least interest in the Fate Tablet. They were just here to revel in the chaos.

Their strength came from Chaos Power, not from a Fate Tablet full of Order Power, so they only symbolically sent some Demons.

From their attitude, that group was most likely here to enjoy a good show.

...

As the tenuous standoff continued, the second azure stone flew out of the Sky Tower!

Marvin unhesitantly caught it and put it away in his pouch!

But this time, the others wouldn’t let him do as he wished. They couldn’t afford to.

”Give it to me!” the Berserk God bellowed as he rushed over!

The nineteen powerhouses all used their various abilities and a frightening meteor shower of Divine Spells rained down on Marvin!
