Such a battle was not one that Soren could wait for a victor to emerge.
Whether Klanvor or Naraku died, the power of death would be absorbed by the victor, and at that time, a new strong divine power would be born.
The facts once again proved how unreliable many of the goddesses in this world are!
When Soren, Vivian, Lilian, and the Princess suddenly appeared on the battlefield, sensing the presence of so many beings with medium divine power or above, and with Soren having a strong divine power, the Goddess of Death and the Goddess of Magic, after enduring a super long-range energy strike from the Arcane Tower, hesitated not at all to use special magical divine profession to teleport to the edge of the battlefield and immediately fled without saying a word to Klanvor.
She fled…
She left exceptionally simply and decisively, without any hesitation!
She was an alien deity who came to this material plane for profit, and naturally would take action if there was gain to be had, but if she found herself in danger, she would leave without a second thought.
She would never stay to fight to the death.
For this small benefit, it was not worth it for a medium divine power alien deity to risk her life. The Saint’s Cataclysm was about to end, and as long as she survived to return to the divine kingdom, the deity still had countless years to enjoy and squander. If it weren’t for this, the previous generation of the Goddess of Wealth and the last Goddess of Magic would have done everything possible to sneak back to the divine kingdom. Just like those goddesses who were closer to Soren suddenly became silent at this moment, the Goddess of Death and the Goddess of Magic also became a coward in the face of the life-and-death choice, decisively abandoning their agreement with Klanvor.
“It seems that the only reliable ones are these people beside me.”
“No wonder the Lord of Radiance possesses such powerful divine power, and the members within the pantheon are so few; most are gods who were cultivated personally, because these old gods of the investiture are simply unreliable!”
Soren watched the Goddess of Death and the Goddess of Magic flee, but he had no thoughts of stopping them.
He could have stopped them, but Soren’s targets were Klanvor and Naraku. The retreat of the Goddess of Death and the Goddess of Magic reduced his opponents and made him more aware of the nature of most of the goddesses in this world. This made him glance at Vivian, Lilian, and the solemn-faced Princess beside him.
In this battle of life and death, to still have someone standing beside him without hesitation and trusting his back, he was evidently much luckier than most of the other deities.
The second round of super long-range tactical strikes spread to the outskirts.
The main battlefield was basically cleared, but to prevent Naraku from resurrecting too many undead, Gloria controlled the Arcane Tower to carry out a second round of tactical strikes, cleansing most of the nearby undead.
At the same time, Soren, Vivian, Lilian, and the Princess all rushed toward Klanvor in an instant. The reason for not choosing Naraku was that he had the traits of undeath, making it more difficult to kill compared to Klanvor, and currently, he was slightly more powerful.
—”Frozen Prison!”
The Princess pressed her hand to the ground, and ice spread at a visible speed, instantly turning a radius of several hundred meters into a prison made entirely of solid ice.
—”Destruction Sword!”
Lilian and Vivian, although individually unable to match their opponent, combined had approached the level of strong divine power. The Demon God of Fear was originally a strong divine power, with divinity and divine rank about three times that of medium divine power. This power, once distributed to the Demon Son of Fear, re-gathered again, with about one-third absorbed by Soren while the other two-thirds were shared between Vivian and Lilian. Excluding some dissipated divine power, Vivian and Lilian together accounted for more than a half of medium divine power, qualifying them to participate in this battle.
—”Divine Descend!”
Soren remained the main force in battle, activating the Divine Descend the moment he moved, then his form split into two and turned into a stream of light rushing toward Klanvor before him.
Thief against Warrior.
Soren was not afraid at all of facing Klanvor head-on in a hard clash.
“Damn it!”
Klanvor was now covered in blood; he had earlier spent a good amount of his divine power, and now had just endured a wave of superconducting pulse energy cannons, his divine power shield was basically shattered. He felt as if he had fallen into a streak of bad luck today, encountering unending misfortunes, and the Goddesses of Death and Magic ran away without even a word. The battle with Naraku had drained him greatly, and this wave of energy strikes had caused heavy losses to his church; under these circumstances, he was at a complete disadvantage against Soren. Klanvor even had thoughts of running away, but the Princess used divine power to create a frozen prison, trapping him inside.
—”Divine Impact!”
With Naraku lurking with greedy eyes outside, Soren abandoned most tactical options and directly chose the simplest method.
That was to suppress the enemy entirely with divine power.
Waves of divine power shockwaves surged toward Klanvor; this was the most brutal way for a deity to battle, relying purely on the difference in divine power. Divine shockwaves inflicted divine damage, ignoring most resistances; one shockwave consumed enough power to cast one or two legendary divine techniques, directly causing about 120-240 points of divine damage. This kind of damage could hardly be ignored—mortals would likely die instantly, while deities could only rely on divine power shields to withstand it.
“Transform Killing Experience!”
Soren’s divine power seemed boundless; right after the first wave of impact, he began to transform the accumulated killing experience, then his form traversed shadows, approaching Klanvor’s body.
The other’s injuries were already very severe.
The opportunity was in an instant; if Klanvor was given a little time, he could cast ‘Greater Restoration,’ which would fully heal him, allowing him to endure even if he had no divine power left.
—”Frozen Kingdom!”
The Princess also sharply grasped this opportunity; she raised her hands and activated the power of ice and snow, instantly freezing everything within visible range.
“Die!”
Soren’s figure surged from both sides; even Klanvor could not determine which was real and which was an illusion. He futilely used his last shred of divine power to maintain his shield, but the next moment it was shattered, and a silver-white stream of light sliced through his body, splitting Klanvor in half.
Boom!
It felt as if the entire world was shaking.
With Klanvor’s death, who had exhausted all his power, the Domain of Eternal Sleep that shrouded the material plane suddenly collapsed, and the properties of the material plane changed in an instant.
Surging golden radiance burst forth!
As the former King of the Dead, Klanvor possessed a vast amount of divine power; this power largely flowed into Soren’s body, with a small portion scattering onto Vivian and Lilian. Even the Princess beside him, as well as Naraku outside the frozen prison, obtained a bit of divine radiance.
However, the vast majority of the power was still absorbed by Soren.
