On the ritual altar, the commotion caused by Chen Yu burning his soul didn’t go unnoticed by anyone. The overwhelming aura rising towards the sky, along with the soul flame burning on Chen Yu and the powerful energy generated from burning his soul, were perceived by everyone on the battlefield almost instantly.

“Commander!” Constitution noticed Chen Yu’s actions on the ritual altar, wanting to rush to his aid immediately, but she was stopped by Warspite by her side.

“The Commander must have his reasons for doing this. We need to focus on our tasks rather than causing him trouble,” Warspite said, her eyes filled with worry for Chen Yu as she looked towards the ritual altar. Nonetheless, she held Constitution back, stopping her from rushing towards the altar. “You are the leader of the Mage Corps. Your presence is needed more here!”

Constitution understood Warspite’s intention, biting her lips hard. Even though her heart longed to support Chen Yu, she chose to heed Warspite’s advice and remained where she was supposed to be.

“For the Commander!” Constitution got serious, pulling a Mechanical Mage Corps unit currently casting the Rain of Fire Spell to assist her, intending to clear the battlefield of enemies with a forbidden curse.

Apart from Constitution, other ship-girls were doing similarly bold actions. They opened fire with the intention of destroying their own barrels. Several impulsive ship-girls even launched direct assaults, charging towards the battlefield while firing, trying to cause as much damage to the enemy as possible.

The immense magic power gathered by the Mechanical Mage Corps, under Constitution’s guidance, formed a gigantic magic circle over the Mage Corps’ heads, and a powerful forbidden curse was brewing.

Jounouchi Hiromi naturally also noticed these changes; she even understood better than others what Chen Yu’s soul burning meant and what consequences it might lead to.

However, unlike Constitution, she didn’t want to rush to help Chen Yu immediately. Instead, she looked angrily at the Magatsukami in front of her with whom she was currently engaged in battle.

This was one of the eight Magatsukami that emerged from the pit earlier. Unlike other Magatsukami, these eight possessed thunder powers and were clearly stronger. Once they appeared, they quickly pressed the deities on the Inari side and even injured several of their divine beings.

If not for the support Jounouchi Hiromi and Xiao Lan provided to their own deities by joining the battlefield, these eight Magatsukami might have achieved even greater results.

Although the Undead Legion had gained the upper hand in the battle between the Yomotsu Oni Tribe and the Undead Legion due to the Mage Corps’ support, the fight between the deities was at a disadvantage as their greatest power, the Inari God, was being held back by Susanou.

Originally, Jounouchi Hiromi was only there with Xiao Lan to hold them off, not directly confronting the Magatsukami, as she was just a Demigod.

But now that Chen Yu was fighting desperately, Jounouchi Hiromi was filled with rage as well, showing no hesitation. She placed a hand on Xiao Lan’s back, directly borrowing the power of the Storm Divine Core, infusing it into the lance in her hand, transforming it into a thunder spear.

Jounouchi Hiromi didn’t want to use this power because she was only a Demigod. Although she could borrow the power of the Storm Divine Core from Xiao Lan, this power was beyond her control and she could only borrow a small portion of it.

But now that Chen Yu was burning his soul and fighting desperately, how could Jounouchi Hiromi choose not to use the Storm Divine Core’s power just because she couldn’t fully control it?

The Storm Divine Core’s power extracted from Xiao Lan was filled with a raging force. Even Xiao Lan herself could barely use it, let alone control it fully.

Thus, when these powers entered Jounouchi Hiromi’s body, they immediately stirred a storm around her, with bolts of lightning constantly discharging from her body, striking the surrounding storm and amplifying its might.

Although Jounouchi Hiromi appeared to be in a grand and formidable state, she felt as if countless blades were slicing through her body.

Nonetheless, this pain only fueled her anger. Enduring the agony akin to being cut by a thousand blades, the lance in Jounouchi Hiromi’s hand, like thunder, soared out in an instant, shooting towards the Magatsukami before her.

“Mere electric power, how dare…” The Magatsukami facing the rapidly approaching thunder spear wanted to exhibit disdain.

As a Thunder God, when he attempted to grasp it, the moment he touched the thunder spear, he was swept away by the core storm divine power within. Unable to hold onto the spear’s shaft, he was pierced through.

With both eyes emanating brilliant lightning, Jounouchi Hiromi didn’t even spare a glance at the Magatsukami she had struck down. She just summoned her lance back and turned her gaze toward a new enemy, knowing she had limited time to maintain this form and had to inflict as much damage as possible.

Although Jounouchi Hiromi ignored the body of the fallen Magatsukami, Xiao Lan wouldn’t let it go, opening her dragon maw to grab the corpse, chomping it down and swallowing it whole.

As Jounouchi Hiromi charged toward a new target, Constitution’s forbidden curse had also completed its brewing.

This wasn’t the kind of spell seen in fantasy novels that could easily obliterate a city, requiring hours of chanting akin to a nuclear explosion. While it also required prolonged spell guidance, with the aid of the Mage Corps, Constitution quickly prepared and released the spell.

A gigantic figure was summoned by Constitution, a half-body Skeleton towering several tens of meters high, crowned in a crown crafted from bones, adorned in resplendent robes, and holding a magic wand made of unknown bones.

This enormous figure resembled an enlarged Skeleton Mage or Lich and did nothing awe-inspiring upon being summoned. It merely waved its magic wand in the direction of the battlefield, letting out a howl.

This howl wasn’t loud, yet it sent out a visible ripple like a wave swiftly sweeping across the entire battlefield.

As the ripple passed, the whole battlefield seemed to pause momentarily as if someone hit a pause button.

But the battlefield soon resumed its chaos, with the Yomotsu Oni Tribe’s army falling like harvested wheat.

Previously, the Yomotsu Oni Tribe continuously poured from the pit like a tide. Even with multiple assaults, the Undead Legion could only temporarily halt them without completely stopping their emergence. Even when the Mage Corps cleared the battlefield with the Rain of Fire Spell, the zombies were pushed back into the pit, yet still got driven out.

But now, as the entire Yomotsu Oni Tribe collapsed on the field like cut wheat, the endless emergence from the pit finally ceased, as if they lost their subsequent strength.

And at that moment, the ritual altar simultaneously emitted a dazzling light, with a divine might emanating atop the altar, spreading forth boundlessly.
