Chapter 94: Clash of Foundations

The greatest advantage of the Wanderer is the ability to take the initiative.
As the deity commanding the Divine Profession of the Wanderer, Soren observed the entire battle process without anyone noticing his presence. However, when the Princess arrived, the magical fluctuations emanating from her were difficult for any god to ignore, startling the God of the Hunt, Mara, who became alert and watchful in the distance.
The area had already been subjected to dimensional confinement.
The reason the Princess took some time to teleport here was that she had to perform a spatial leap from outside the dimensional confinement to this location.
A legendary-level wizard or sorcerer.
It was impossible for a priest to possess such advanced spatial skills; only wizards and sorcerers could achieve this.
Mara’s attention was drawn to the yet-appearing Princess, and Soren seized the fleeting opportunity to dash towards the “Pale Justice” lying on the ground.
At this moment, he could not afford to wait for the “Holy Avenger.”
Originally just a probe, he never expected that the actions of other forces were faster than his own. After today’s events, the God of the Hunt would undoubtedly be more cautious, so having to act became inevitable for Soren.
Clang!
A figure suddenly appeared beside the corpse of the Paladin, slender fingers instantly grasping the hilt of “Pale Justice.”
A terrible pain erupted!
Soren trembled; it felt as if he were holding a red-hot branding iron. Pale Justice rejected his presence even more strongly than the Holy Avenger. Even with the talent of Universal Skillful Hand, Soren suffered over 30 points of holy damage the moment he touched it, while the residual power from the artifact continued to harm him, nearly completely negating his own regeneration abilities. Many artifacts in this world have faction requirements. Therefore, an inappropriate artifact may not be as useful as a legendary piece of equipment.
—”Shadow Concealment!”
The instant he wielded “Pale Justice,” Soren vanished back into the shadows.
Anti-Detection Cloak.
Mara, the God of the Hunt, displayed a hint of panic as he realized that, as a deity, he could not penetrate Soren’s invisibility effect.
Immune to any detection and invisibility spells.
This legendary equipment was equally effective against deities in their saint form, meaning Mara could only use other means to determine Soren’s location.
—”Magic Duncan Disintegration!”
The Princess’s figure finally appeared.
She wore a stunning blue court gown, resembling a noble girl on an outing. When her presence graced the battlefield, the surrounding air dropped significantly in temperature.
Crystal-like snowflakes began to materialize.
A field power similar to Ice and Snow was activated by the Princess, instantly leading the surroundings to feel as if winter had arrived—ice forming rapidly on the ground.
Changing reality!
The Princess’s domain power directly warped the nearby environment, such lavish divine power brought everything into winter.
“It’s the Princess of Arendelle!”
One of the Silver Moonwalkers in battle showed a flicker of surprise on his face, murmuring, “It looks like we have hope to end this evil god! The Princess is the most powerful spellcaster in the Frozen Kingdom!”
Legendary degree.
Although her chances of engaging in battle were limited, the Princess maintained a high legendary degree.
—”Magic Duncan Disintegration!”
—”Luxurious Great Disintegration!”
—”Greater Dispel!”
As the top-tier spellcaster, there was no doubt that the Princess had incredible talent for battle. In the face of this divine-level conflict, she wisely refrained from casting any offensive spells, opting instead for a trio of dispels.
The resistance of the saint form was frightfully high!
Soren could directly immune 1-3 tier spells, and the resistance capabilities of the God of the Hunt were probably even stronger; even legendary spells would likely fail to k*ll him.
In this situation.
The most effective tactic was to dispel all defensive and enhancement spells on the opponent.
Waves of spell light shattered.
A destructive effect appeared directly on Mara, the God of the Hunt. At least three types of enhancement spells were dispelled, and one piece of equipment was dismantled.
It was a special ring!
It was likely not of artifact level, as the Magic Duncan Disintegration only had a 1% chance to disintegrate an artifact.
It seemed a legendary-level item had been successfully disintegrated; Mara lost one of his life-saving pieces of equipment. This would be a crucial advantage in the upcoming battle.
—”Ice Prison!”
Sharp ice pillars rose, with the Princess casting spells at remarkable speed. Many spells approached instantaneous casting, accompanied by slight tremors; the sharp ice pillars locked onto the position of the God of the Hunt, aiming to restrain him.
Rumbling!
The solid ice was shattered by brute force. A shadow catapulted from the ground, striking sharply at the Princess.
—”Instant Displacement!”
With a flash of spell light, the Princess’s figure vanished from sight.
Mara’s form landed, his crimson pupils warily scanning the surroundings, not only searching for the position of the Princess but also for Soren’s trace.
—”Footsteps of No Trace!”
—”Shock Palm!”
The Broken Monk, even in peak-level combat, maintained a strong deterrent ability. Leveraging his overwhelming perception, the Monk seized an opportunity to launch a sudden assault.
A rain of arrows descended.
The other legendary figures present reacted swiftly, taking this chance to counterattack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of attacks landed on the God of the Hunt, yet they maintained a gap of about ten centimeters, failing to genuinely connect with his body.
The divine power shield remained!
Even legendary-level combat power struggled to break through the opponent’s divine power shield in one blow.
—”Divine Energy Shockwave!”
Faced with so many legendary powerhouses launching a siege, the God of the Hunt chose the most violent and effective method of counterattack; divine energy erupted in shockwaves in all directions, sending figures flying while leaving trails of bl**d in the sky.
Divine power!
Soren, moving through the shadows, felt a pang of anxiety in his heart. If the God of the Hunt commanded ‘Divine Power Shield’ and ‘Divine Energy Shockwave’, it necessarily meant he also possessed the divine ability ‘Divine Descent’.
Simply put.
It means immunity to all spell effects for a certain period of time. Many combat-adept deities possess this capability, and Soren had only seen the Spider Queen wield such divine power.
—”Hunt Mark!”
Seemingly dissatisfied with the nuisance caused by the Broken Monk, Mara abruptly pointed at him, projecting a special mark onto his form.
In the next moment.
His figure suddenly vanished from the spot, reappearing behind the Broken Monk.
Whoosh!
bl**d spattered forth, as the +3 artifact “Claw of the Beast” pierced directly through the Monk’s heart. Even his powerful perception could not foresee this attack; one of their legendary professionals fell instantly.
—”Tracking Domain!”
Faced with the suddenly emerged Soren and the Princess, Mara could no longer hide his trump card, directly unleashing his most core divine power.
Tracking Divine Profession.
Soren suddenly felt a gaze locking onto him, with no time to think. He immediately activated Shadow Travel.
A cold light shimmered behind him.
Mara, the God of the Hunt, almost instantaneously appeared by his side; although Mara could not see Soren’s figure, the Tracking divine power helped him locate Soren’s position.
—“Slayer Transformation!”
Seeking the right moment for a sneak attack seemed ineffective; Soren’s tactics were influenced by the Tracking divine power, leaving him no choice but to engage in a head-on clash with his opponent.
—”Greater Roar!”
The Princess’s figure reappeared. Raising her hand, she unleashed an eight-circle spell, and suddenly a terrifying sonic wave erupted, akin to the highest-level Lion’s Roar, almost enveloping the entire battlefield and causing everyone to tremble.
Such disregard in attacking friend and foe alike was highly effective!
The God of the Hunt paused for an instant, but Soren was also affected.
Sonic Attack.
Most deities do not have high resistance to sonic attacks. This is an extremely effective form of attack. Against such strikes, one can only rely on their fortitude saving throw. Undoubtedly, Soren’s fortitude save was sufficient, allowing him to react just slightly faster than the God of the Hunt, negating the effects of the Greater Roar.
—”Greater Acceleration!”
The power of the Lich’s Ring was activated, and a portal opened behind Soren. Accompanied by a howling wind, the figure of a Wind Elemental appeared, followed by that of a massive Fire Elemental, although it seemed influenced by the Princess’s Ice and Snow domain, its flames appeared dim, as if lacking strength.
—”Shadow Leap!”
A peculiar silver-white light glimmered in the palm of Soren, forming into a silver curved blade. Holding “Pale Justice” in one hand and the “Gisz Silver Blade” in the other, he charged towards his enemy.
Perfect Dual Wielding, Universal Skillful Hand, Legendary Evasion, Legendary Combat Technique, Epic Agility, Epic Constitution.
Mastering Reflex Evasion, Intuitive Evasion, Rolling Dodges, and Agile Movements.
All along.
Soren’s mastery of specialization abilities had been largely passive ones, but it was precisely these passive specialties that allowed him to maintain extraordinary performance in peak-level battles.
—”Spinning Slash!”
With the enhancement of Greater Acceleration, Soren’s speed was astonishing, entirely exceeding the range of the n*ked eye. Amidst the turbulent winds, his figure surged into the presence of the God of the Hunt.
Now was the time to test their foundations!
In this extreme output state, most active abilities had lost their opportunity to be executed; it came down to who could continuously unleash damage without gaps.
Clang! Clang!
A barrage of sparks erupted; with “Pale Justice” and “Gisz Silver Blade” in hand, and mastering Perfect Dual Wielding, a bizarre silver-white radiance enveloped Soren, forming a barrier that made it impossible for others to approach.
Subtle energy radiated outward.
It was uncertain if it was an illusion, but as Soren attacked at a speed beyond human limits, shallow sword marks unmistakably appeared on the ground around him.
