▪️FIGHTING IN A DIFFERENT PLACE

The power of a demigod is indeed formidable.

The moment Eve saw the demigod Volker, she instinctively knew that her incarnation wouldn’t be his match.

After all, the avatar that she is currently using was formed using the jewel of death goddess as its core, and its combat abilities could only output power up to a demigod level which also can only be sustained for a limited time.

Furthermore, she still didn’t have full control over her divinity just as Volker speculated even though she was a genuine deity.

Nevertheless, a true god is still a true god.

Just because Eve’s current incarnation wouldn’t be a match against Volker, didn’t mean that she would be also instantly killed by him.

Even if she was only using her incarnation at the moment!

Volker likewise sensed the approximate strength of Eve’s incarnation. The difference was that he already mistaken Eve’s incarnation as her true self.

Well this was not his fault.

For Eve’s current incarnation wasn’t a true god’s avatar in the conventional sense, since the process of attaining godhood solely through faith alone involves detaching oneself from the mundane and worldly desires so that one could solidify their own divinity.

Unlike the ancient old gods who have substantial divine essence imbued at their physical bodies, the essence of the gods that relies upon faith lies instead on their own believers as an energy source for which empowers their own divinity.

Generally speaking, an incarnation condensed by the devotees of a god will also be in an incomplete energy state.

But Eve’s incarnation in comparison was quite different, since it was formed by taking advantage of Hela’s soul-storing jewel as its core along with a capable elven body as her physical avatar.

In other words, the aura that she’s emanating gave demigod Volker the wrong impression that her incarnation is in an incomplete state and that she’s just an elf that somehow gotten lucky in acquiring the divinity of both nature and life.

This is also the real reason why Eve, whom already had acquired over a hundred divine power points, chose not to use her power to produce a core for her avatar, but instead use Hela’s soul-storing jewel as a replacement in order to make stronger beings think that her incarnation is her actual true self!

It was to give an allusion that she’s ‘weak’ so that her enemies completely underestimates her and make some hasty fatal mistakes.

The players widened their eyes and began to enjoy the ‘cutscenes’ once Evé finally appeared.

But what disappointed them this time, was that the goddess didn’t seemed to radiate her usual heavenly aura that can make everyone worship and prostrate themselves the instant their eyes laid upon her.

Although she’s simply surrounded by an infinitesimal amount of divine light, the goddess current demeanor was still just as regal and magnificent as ever, making people feel rather conflicted emotions…

Since compared to the previous two popular instances wherein she made her entrance so grandiose… it felt like her current appearance was lacking something.

“Hehe, it seems… her condition is indeed not quite good since she looks to be conserving her divine powers and doesn’t even properly demonstrating the dignity of a true god even when appearing in front of her own believers!”

With this realization, Volker’s confidence soared even greater.

He raised his frost battle axe as a silvery aura emanates from his body. He then manipulated his divine powers to continuously morphed it into many electric serpents.

The axe he’s wielding is a divine weapon bestowed upon him by Uller which is a genuine demigod-class artifact!

An oppressive pressure swept across the entire area, causing the clouds up in the skes to constantly churn and surge under Volker’s power.

The mana in the air then became restless, turning into a roaring gale after the demigod released his full aura…

The temperature within a three-kilometer radius zone also suddenly began to drop rapidly, as snowflakes slowly started to fall!

Celestial Domain!

This is a legendary ability that only the most powerful beings could ever use.

The Orcs stared blankly at this scene, feeling incredibly shocked.

Demigod!

This is the might of a demigod!

In actuality.. their power can even affect the weather!

The players on the other hand weren’t too surprised by this show of force.

After all, they already witnessed the miraculous powers of the goddess beforehand, which was a far more unforgettable display of strength.

The Demigod’s power did not surprised them at all.

Volker’s majestic voice, brimming with boundless confidence then echoed all throughout the entire place.

“Hmph! False god! You shamelessly stole the divinity intended for Uller, and even killed his servants and followers. Today would be the mark of your downfall!”

It was actually a false god!

The deity hiding in the Elven Forest turned out to be just a fake one!

The Orcs were incredibly shocked.

But then, they were filled with infinite joy!

How shameless!

Lacking the power of a true god, yet still claiming to be one, is the mark of a false god.

Since it isn’t a genuine one, this fake goddess definitely can’t be a match for Lord Volker!

As one of the three demigods serving under the Hunter God, Volker’s legendary feats are widely spread amongst all of Uller’s followers.

He’s a legendary figure who have defeated false gods and demigods multiple times in the past while serving as a totem guardian!

What the? False…god?

The players’ faces looked rather strange after hearing the clamorings of the Orcs.

This guy…who is a mere demigod, is boisterously claiming that the goddess is a false god?

Was this… also one of the goddess’s deceptions?

If so, then what does the goddess actually wants to do?

The players all subconsciously looked towards the female figure surrounded by holy light, but failed to properly see her face, nor her emotions.

The goddess at this moment seems more mysterious and unpredictable.

However, the one thing that could be confirmed was that, the goddess definitely is planning something…

False god? Uller’s stolen divinity?

Alice and Aél’s faces showed a trace of anger after hearing such blasphemous words coming out of demigod Volker’s mouth.

Such shamelessness! How despicable! A vile bastard who distorts right and wrong!

But thinking of the teachings of their Matriarch, they both forcibly endured it and simply they looked at the enemy demigod with gazes as if looking at a rotten corpse.

A true god cannot be blasphemed!

Even if he’s a demigod, such wicked words cannot be easily forgiven!

Unlike her two faithful believers, Evé was not particularly angry despite hearing Volker’s words.

She simply sighed softly, as her ethereal and majestic voice resounded throughout the audience.

“This place’s not suitable for our battle, let’s change the location instead.”

“Hehe, are you worried about the consequence of our fight endangering your believers?…indeed, you really are a stupid false god!”

Volker let out a cold laugh and sneered after hearing Eve’s words. He then suddenly swung his silver axe and rushed towards Evé with a roar!

At the same time, Evé also stretched out her hand and released two consecutive ripples of divine power…

“Ohh so they’re about to fight!”

The player’s eyes lit up in excitement, acting like movie watchers in a cinema.

They instinctively sought cover and widened their eyes, fully expecting to witness an amazing godly battle.

However, what’s happened next completely blindsided everyone.

The first ripple sent out by the goddess turned into a divine lock, shooting directly towards Volker.

However, Volker just sneered and easily dodged the first attack.

But in the instant he dodged, the second ripple suddenly turned into a huge teleportation array, moving exactly where Volker landed to avoid the initial attack and then envelopes him completely.

In the astonished gaze of everyone, the demigod then suddenly burst into a brilliant light.

And after the lightshow, he just simply disappeared…along with the goddess who also vanished as well.

Teleported away…?

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

‘Continue surrounding the orcs.’

In an instant, a clear and ethereal voice echoed in the minds of all the players.

It was the goddess!

The players awakened from their stupor.

This… was still the first time the goddess internally spoke and personally gave orders towards them!

At this moment, the players found that their verbal functions have also been finally restored.

“Quick, look at the Elven Forest!”

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed player pointed to the rear, particularly at the other side of the teleportation array.

The other players followed the direction and were surprised to see clouds rolling over the Elven Forest…

Did the goddess transport the Orc’s Totem Guardian back the Elven Forest?

In that instant, the players understood her plans as their eyes shone in realization.

The Elven Forest… that was the goddess’s home territory!

“Well…it seems that this enemy demigod will be finished this time.”

“Wait, with the main boss is now gone, so can we farm mobs again?”

Thinking of this, the players began to show a trace of eagerness.

With the scary boss now teleported away…

Does it mean that the enemies trump card was now rendered useless?

However, some people were pounding their chests in indignation and angrily stamping their feets.

“Aw hell no! I want to see the goddess fight! I want to see the battle between those two godly beings!”

Seeing their envoy being teleported away, the Orcs were equally stunned as well.

But soon, they saw the eager expressions upon most the players’ faces.

For some reason, the warriors of the Caverock Tribe suddenly felt uneasy as they looked at the players’ salivating eyes.

However, the high priest still shouted,

“Elves! Our demigod has already taken action, your false god is now doomed! Don’t make any unnecessary resistance!”

After hearing his angry shout, the players were first stunned, then burst into several laughters.

“Hahaha!”

“Who’s finished is not certain yet!”

“Dumbasses! Look behind you idiots!”

Behind them?

The Orcs were slightly stunned.

They instinctively turned their heads backwards and involuntary felt goosebumps all over their bodies as saw a huge overbearing shadow looming over them.

Fierce face, black scales, and very angry vertical pupils…

It was the black dragon.

Meryer had finally regained his freedom once more!

“W-What…when?”

Most Orc’s eyes turned blank at the mere sight of this imposing creature slowly moving towards them.

Jùshān’s face also changed as something dawned upon him.

“The False God’s initial attack… it’s just now unbind Lord Totem’s divine lock, which released this damned dragon!”

Indeed, it was Eve’s divine lock.

Just moments ago, Volker did dodged the first divine lock shot by Eve.

All this time, Evé never intended to bind him with it but instead her true goal was to rescue the Black Dragon all along!

Looking at the Black Dragon with bloodshot eyes and righteous fury staring down at them, all the Orcs couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable cold chill down their hearts.

Jùshān’s expression was frightened, and he quickly shouted,

“Retreat! Everyone retreat!”

As soon as he finished shouting, the Black Dragon yelled, “Ruaaah!” and rushed into a crowd of Orcs to begin a slaughter.

“Damn it! Leave some mobs for us too!”

“We’re going too!”

“Kill!”

“Uraah!”

The players also roared in excitement and quickly joined the battle as well!

Hereby making the scene chaotic once more.

Elven Forest.

High above the skies, Demigod Volker looked down at the dense forest below him as a surprised look formed into his face.

“I didn’t expect… you to actually transported me here.”

“Hehe, is this forest your home territory? But I wonder…how much strength do you have left since you even dared transport a demigod like me?”

Volker let out a mocking laugh.

The DP consumption of instantaneous teleportation is directly proportional to the power of the transfered target.

Volker could clearly sense that after the teleportation, the strange false god in front of him had already lost most of her strength.

“The consumption is indeed not small.”

After hearing Volker’s words, Eve sighed slightly, seemingly a little heartbroken.

“But…”

Her tone then suddenly changed:

“I believe its a worthwhile investment.”

What does it mean?

Volker’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt a trace of unease in his heart.

Then, he saw the ‘false god’ in front of him suddenly radiates an intense emerald light.

Under his astonished gaze, he saw the false god’s body suddenly ‘shatters’ as it merges into the heavens and the earth all around him…

At the same time, an inexplicable feeling of dread grows within Volker.

In that moment…

He felt that this entire forest…

The entire world around him…

—Suddenly Came Alive.

Nihil Note : This is probably the hardest chapter I’ve done so far. Just the initial paragraphs about gods and their powers at the start took me hours of research, which also gave me a bit of headache. That’s why the release of this chapter was later than my usual schedule.
