Chapter 91: True God Territory

Hunters are always very patient.
Faced with this situation where the enemies are pressing hard, the God of the Hunt – Mara is surprisingly able to endure and delay the activation of the divine realm. He must not only be wary of ‘Pale Justice’ searching for opportunities but also worried about the potential appearance of other divine avatars nearby. When the Silver Moonwalker appeared on the battlefield, Soren was initially concerned that Lady Silver Moon might also show up. The God of the Hunt – Mara lacks the freedom of movement that Soren has as a Wanderer, and the reason for his delay in attacking is likely because he is trying to find traces of Lady Silver Moon.
These two deities do not have obvious hatred towards each other, but the conflict of divine professions is already greater than most enmities.
Finally!
The God of the Hunt – Mara realizes he cannot continue to drag things out, as this would mean that the divine power value he has painstakingly accumulated might be completely exhausted. Therefore, he seized the moment when the enemies had a brief lapse in coordination to launch a counterattack. For deities, any slight delay in a group attack can be seen as a flaw; unless one could replicate the level of the ‘Godslayer’ organization in the Underdark, then merely relying on accumulating legendary numbers does not give much of an advantage.
The greatest advantage of a Wanderer is evident in this kind of situation!
Throughout the battle, Soren remains an outsider, easily observing everything, but when the time is right, he can plunge into the fight in an instant.
This is something that no other profession can achieve!
As the Bruiser Monk’s series of Eastern striking techniques came to an end, the God of the Hunt – Mara let out an angry low growl, and suddenly a pair of razor-sharp gauntlets appeared on his arms, directly blocking the attack from ‘Pale Justice.’ This is his only artifact, a Third Tier artifact made using his own divine power and divinity called [Claw of the Beast].
Artifacts are not something you can casually craft just because you are a deity. Even items made with a deity’s knowledge are only at the legendary level at best. Any artifact in this world requires a deity to pay a significant price to create. This infusion of divinity means a permanent consumption of power, and no deity would easily create an artifact.
Therefore, a considerable number of deities possess only one artifact!
Soren, who doesn’t even have a suitable artifact, clearly appears to be a newly ascended deity.
Some artifacts in the Material Plane are even more advanced than those in the hands of deities. Of course, in the past, deities were often in their divine kingdoms, and those artifacts did not have much impact on them. However, now that they have fallen to the mortal realm, the threat of these artifacts is significant.
[Pale Justice] is a Fourth Tier artifact.
When fighting against evil, it is bolstered by the ‘Power of Justice,’ effectively making it a Seventh Tier artifact.
In terms of destructive power, the God of the Hunt – Mara’s Claw of the Beast is clearly outclassed, as although the previous God of Justice has fallen, this artifact was empowered by a once mighty divine power. It is definitely not something the God of the Hunt – Mara can easily withstand.
Clang clang block!
A series of blocking sounds rang out.
Although the God of the Hunt – Mara still hasn’t launched an effective counterattack, with the Claw of the Beast, he no longer needs to evade the Pale Justice.
He is preparing to counterattack.
From the moment he drew out the artifact Claw of the Beast, Soren realizes he is waiting for a chance to break the deadlock.
This opportunity quickly arrived!
In the instant that the Paladin and Druid alternated their attacks, they temporarily exposed the backline priest. This process may have lasted less than a tenth of a second. But for deities, that is already sufficient.
—”【Power】 Realm!”
The God of the Hunt – Mara remains very cautious; the realm he activates is his most peripheral ability. As soon as the 【Power】 realm is opened, the very air on the battlefield feels like it has become heavier.
Rumbling!
The massive body of the God of the Hunt – Mara directly charged forward. He did not strike directly at the backline priest but instead slammed his fist down onto the ground beneath him.
The ground trembles!
The force that erupted at this moment has likely exceeded 40 points. The terrifying shock felt as if an earthquake had spontaneously occurred, shattering the entire altar, with terrifying fissures appearing in the ground centered around the point of the God of the Hunt – Mara’s attack. A shockwave like an explosion formed, followed by web-like cracking marks, and the rear temple collapsed in an instant, with everything within a radius of three hundred meters affected by this dreadful power.
The impact of this punch even surpassed that of a missile explosion, directly sending everyone surrounding him flying away.
Move mountains and fill seas!
When the force exceeds 40 points, it exhibits a terrifying capability that can move mountains or fill seas. Such terrifying power is something that very few can withstand in the Material Plane, and a punch that collapses a peak is merely a casual act.
Afterimages flew past!
The God of the Hunt – Mara is referred to as the ‘King of Beasts’; his most powerful attributes are undoubtedly strength, agility, and constitution. Strength-type deities typically possess values around 35 points, and if considering the boost from the 【Power】 realm, he is definitely above 40 points in strength now.
But the origins of the God of the Hunt – Mara have long been lost.
However, this guy looks very much like the once most powerful Demon Lord of the Bottomless Abyss, ‘Digomorgen,’ a rather terrifying two-headed baboon, while the God of the Hunt now appears to be a one-headed baboon.
Casualties appeared in an instant.
The first to fall was undoubtedly the priest in the team; all the defensive force fields were easily broken under the deity’s attack power. The priest of the Weeping God was torn apart by the King of Beasts, ripped to shreds, leaving only a mess of flesh.
“The hunter has become the prey!”
The King of Beasts said something in ancient Abyssal as he lunged toward another enemy in an instant.
He abandoned the Paladin wielding ‘Pale Justice’ and gave up on the agile and terrifyingly nimble Monk and Silver Moonwalker, as the priest’s greatest attribute is perception, making it impossible for them to escape the pursuit of the King of Beasts.
In the blink of an eye.
Countless attacks surged toward the King of Beasts; now that one priest has fallen, they cannot allow another part-time priest to fall as well. But the King of Beasts did not care about their attacks, and with the divine power shield activated, the God of the Hunt – Mara withstood all the attacks, charging toward that part-time Ranger priest.
As long as the priests are exterminated, the ensuing battle would become much easier!
—”【Chaos】 Realm!”
—”【Evil】 Realm!”
Two realms burst forth in an instant as opened by the God of the Hunt – Mara. Being one of the long-established deities, the realm he possesses covers an expansive area.
Even in front of Soren, a row of data appeared:
“Under the influence of 【Chaos】 realm!…”
“Own alignment is Lawful!… Saving throw failed!… In the range of 【Chaos】 realm!… All ability checks receive a -2 negative influence!…”
“Under the influence of 【Evil】 realm!…”
“Own alignment is Evil!… Gains additional ability boosts!… In the range of Evil aura!… All ability checks receive a +2 bonus!…”
(To be continued ~^~)
