**Chapter 82: God-Slaying Operations**
Soren’s figure advanced in the shadows.
Behind him, the little dragon, carefully lurking while enhanced with the Greater Invisibility Spell, was unable to resist her curiosity and planned to come over for a closer look, even though she knew such actions were very dangerous. This was Soren’s first special intuition after becoming a demigod. Although he had just stepped into the realm of greatness and did not possess specialized expertise in damage immunity, nor had he advanced to the form of a saint, he had nonetheless already reached the demigod level.
The data on the display had not changed much, but the demigod’s hidden immunity resistance was indeed present.
In fact, his actual combat power had increased by at least 30%, as the chances of low-level spells affecting him from now on were very low. Coupled with the Anti-Detection Cloak, which was almost an artifact for a Wanderer, Soren could easily escape combat if he encountered any special circumstances. This had been verified by the powerful divine powers of the Goddess, as even the Goddess could not see someone wearing this equipment without employing some special means.
As for the little dragon following behind him, Soren had no way to handle her.
Logically, it would have been best if she had stayed back; then he could leave or stay as he wished. However, unable to resist her princess-like temper, she insisted on following him, leaving Soren with no choice.
Moreover, she was at least legendary combat prowess!
If the target detected was truly the ‘Half-Elf and Wanderer’ god from Soren’s memory, then she might indeed be able to help him greatly.
As the two gradually advanced, the view ahead began to widen. The underground passage transformed into an open flat ground, with a forest of stone pillars ahead, beyond which was no longer visible.
Soren dared not approach carelessly!
Just as he prepared to tiptoe over and check the situation, a magnetic and teasing female voice echoed in his mind, slowly saying, “So it’s you, little one!”
“Stay where you are! This level of battle is not something you can recklessly interfere in!”
“Be careful not to lose your life.”
Stiffness.
Soren’s figure instantly stiffened in place. There was no one around him, and hardly anyone could approach him silently without him noticing. The voice was directly transmitted into his mind.
Mind Sorcerer!
Soren suddenly recalled the spiritual energy field he had sensed earlier; his intuition told him that this was likely a Spiritual Sorcerer with a profession level of 30 or above.
Such a being was something he could easily handle!
In fact, such a level of Spiritual Sorcerer could only be seen in the Astral Realm, as there were no such existences in the entire Material Plane.
Buzz!
It was as if the entire space vibrated.
Soren had just taken a cautious step back when he saw the stone pillar forest ahead suddenly collapse, and amidst the rising dust, figures of a group of Drow appeared about three hundred meters away in his line of sight.
Not good!
With just a glance, Soren, who was very familiar with the Underdark, recognized this as a standard escort team for a Drow matriarch.
Drow Rangers, Drow Warriors, Spider-Simple Elves, and Ros Priestesses.
“What is she planning?”
Many thoughts flashed through Soren’s mind, but he still couldn’t guess. He wondered internally, “Could she be trying to ambush this Drow matriarch?”
Before his thoughts were sorted out, the next change had already exceeded Soren’s expectations!
…
A special figure appeared in mid-air.
No one knew when he had appeared; all that could be seen was his arm gleaming with a silvery metallic sheen and his lifelike but metallic face. On his chest was a device resembling a clock, and when this strange metal figure pressed it with his hand, the clock immediately stopped.
Time froze at that moment!
An unimaginable event occurred. A certain unpredictable force spread out, and everything nearby suddenly came to a standstill.
Including Soren, who was already a demigod!
A series of data surfaced:
“Influenced by the effect of [Clockwork Nirvana]!”
“Demigod domain ineffective!… Self trapped in time stop state!… Duration 1 second!… ”
…
Clockwork Nirvana!
Clockwork Nirvana’s mechanical mirror?!
This information startled Soren, as it seemed to remind him of something.
However…
The events that unfolded next left him no time to think further.
…
“Clockwork Nirvana has activated!”
“Combat begins!… Tower Spirit No. 1 initiates half-plane confinement!… All units prepare for battle!… I have little time left!… ”
The silvery figure floated in the air.
As the clock on his chest stopped, the arcane brilliance surrounding him gradually dimmed, as if losing a certain immense magical power.
Mental transmission had been established.
The synchronized mental communication conveyed to the minds of all combat units nearby.
A cold mechanical voice sounded.
“Tower Spirit No. 1 takes over half-plane control!… Initiating half-plane confinement!… Synchronized with material plane space!… Space folding initiated!… Interdimensional space synchronized resonance!… ”
“Half-plane energy transfer!… ”
“Locking target within a fifteen-meter radius!… Spider Queen Ros detected!… Half-plane space confinement achieved!… ”
“Alarm! Alarm!”
“Unknown force field opened!… Target activated divine power field!… Half-plane energy drastically consumed!… Current energy depletion at 1%! … 2%! … 3%! … ”
Time synchronized within a second.
The metallic voice nearly rang out simultaneously, slowly saying, “Half-plane confinement achieved! We have less than one hundred seconds left! Everyone prepare to engage in combat at any time!… ”
One second after synchronization.
Twenty-five kilometers away from the battlefield, the Monk’s figure stood up.
“Tower Spirit No. 2 takes over interdimensional teleportation rights!… ”
“Space waypoint locked!… Spiritual node locked!… Extracting interdimensional space energy!… Opening interdimensional teleportation portal No. 1!… Coordinates X87Y157!… ”
An interdimensional teleportation gate opened.
Only about three meters from the Monk, his figure instantly leaned forward and dashed into the interdimensional portal, and then in the next moment, appeared in Soren’s line of sight — right above the Drow’s escort team.
—”Moonshadow Style!”
The Monk’s figure became a trail of afterimages, directly diving down from the sky.
—”Solar Flare Style!”
With a fierce clap of golden palms, scorching flames and surging heat waves ravaged out, the enormous shockwave swept away everything within thirty meters, scattering the Drow escort team. Among the figures being pushed back, however, was a peculiar figure, frozen in place, her body surrounded by twisting space, as if it had trapped her in place.
—”Shadowless Kick!”
—”Whirlwind Kick!”
—”Gale Palm!”
—”Eye Cannot Reach!”
Like a storm of strikes surged out. The targets were not at all the figure trapped in place, but the nearby other Drow.
In an instant!
With the figure frozen in place as the center, there were no more others within twenty meters nearby.
Clatter!
The Monk’s figure landed, seeming to be in a meditative state. To unleash so many killing moves within just one or two seconds would be a huge burden, even for a divine incarnation saint.
“Monk completes the task!”
“The area around the target has been cleared!… Barbarian, prepare to relay!… ”
…
A cold voice echoed once more:
“Space waypoint locked!… Spiritual node locked!… Extracting interdimensional space energy!… Opening interdimensional teleportation portal No. 2!… Coordinates X57Y127!… ”
“Portal No. 2 opened!… Deploying [Arcane Power Armor III]!… ”
Unknown Space.
In this enormous half-plane, there stood an Arcane Tower. With the voice of Tower Spirit No. 2, two massive Arcane Power Armors vanished from the fifth level of the Arcane Tower, and then appeared on the battlefield, quickly dispersing to positions on the left and right. However, they did not join the battle and instead took a defensive stance against interference from others.
…
“Space waypoint locked!… Spiritual node locked!… Extracting interdimensional space energy!… Opening interdimensional teleportation portal No. 3!… Coordinates X37Y107!… ”
Thirty kilometers away in a straight line.
An interdimensional teleportation portal appeared in front of the Barbarian. The already standing Barbarian let out a wild roar, followed by explosive sounds emanating from his entire body, his robust figure instantly transforming as if he were a giant, filled with explosive power muscles that were shockingly impressive!
—”Epic Rage!”
The Barbarian’s figure passed through the interdimensional teleportation portal. Gripping a massive battle axe with both hands, he let out a roar and swung it down to the ground.
—”Earth Splitter!”
Terrifying power erupted. The ground around completely shattered, collapsing within a twenty-meter radius centered on the figure trapped by the half-plane space.
The cold metallic voice rang out: “Target entering Floating State!”
“Target activating divine power field!… Calculating divine power field depletion!… Current attack depletion at 3%! … Estimated thirty-three similar strength attacks needed to breach the target’s divine power field!… Target’s divine power field shield is too strong!… ”
“Initiating backup operation plan!… ”
“Tower Spirit No. 4 takes over operational command!… Initiating cross-plane tactical strike plan!… ”
…
Unknown half-plane.
At the top of the standing Arcane Tower, a half-virtual, half-real figure appeared. Coldly declaring, “Tower Spirit No. 4 takes over combat command!… ”
“Initiating [Cross-Plane Space Strike] tactic!… ”
“Synchronizing calculations for interdimensional teleportation nodes!… Opening space portal!… Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon IV begins charging!… Current charging progress at 10%, 20%, 30%… ”
“Cross-plane space coordinates locked!… ”
“Portal stabilized!”
“Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon IV fully charged!… Locking target space position!… Initiating cross-plane tactical strike!… ”
…
