The human god System had three great Divine Powers, namely, the God of Light, the God of Protection and the God of Heroes.
The God of Light was ranked as the topmost master out of the three supreme great Divine Powers. He was qualified to compete for rank of second-in-command within the Pantheon temple, a position secondary only to the Master of Order. On the other hand, the God of Protection and the God of Heroes were merely at the entry level of a great Divine Power. Within the realm of a great Divine Power, they were regarded as the bottom of the hierarchy. But regardless, they were still great Divine Powers after all!
The God of Protection, in particular, was extremely skilled in defense. At that moment, his entire body was surrounded by a divine light. Apparently, that was him appearing in his truest form. The shield that he carried was also glowing radiantly, and this impressive sight also indicated the authenticity of the shield he had brought along. He did not transform himself to take the appearance of a giant; thus he was so insignificant that he was nothing worth mentioning when compared to the size of the entire Void Warship. However, even with the Void Warship, the Goddess of Pirates would never dare to try confronting the God of Protection head-on. She could only bring the Void Warship to an urgent halt.
This “emergency brake” came so suddenly that at least a third of the warriors onboard were thrown off balance. Many of them stumbled about and eventually fell to the ground like falling gourds.
The Master of War frowned and gestured to his side. Then the God of Strategy and the God of War jumped up from where they were and transformed into two streams of light before flying off to where the God of Protection stood.
“What’s the meaning of this?” the God of War, with his body and face full of bruises, asked ferociously. “Are you trying to pick a fight!?”
The God of War and the God of Strategy both had mid-level Divine Powers, but when it came to combat power, both were confident that they would not lose out to the God of Protection. The God of Protection’s ability was too undistinguished, highly capable in defense but lacking when it came to attacking. Even if they could not win the fight, they could still ensure that they were able to make a dignified retreat without sustaining any serious injuries.
This confidence, coupled with the anger in their hearts, naturally made their tones unfriendly and hostile. As he spoke, the God of War had already taken out his weapon, just like someone who would wield his blade to hack someone up the moment there was the slightest disagreement.
The God of Protection was completely unmoved. After waiting for about a minute or two, he slowly opened his mouth to reply.
“Welcome!” he said in a dry tone. “Although relying on our strength alone is enough to defeat the entire Mystery God system, we would still like to welcome everyone who has come together as comrades!”
The various Gods of War were startled upon hearing his words. Sui Xiong was so surprised that he jumped to his feet.
What?! The human god System had already gone ahead and attacked the Mystery God System?!
“How is that possible!” Sui Xiong could not help flying out. He landed right before the God of Protection, and in a loud voice, he asked, “At the time when I left, which was not too long ago, all was well, wasn’t it? Why are you all fighting all of a sudden?”
The God of Protection had fought alongside Sui Xiong on previous occasions, so more or less, they shared some form of friendship. Hearing Sui Xiong’s questions, the God of Protection cast him a glance and replied in the same slow tone, “It was just after you left when we made our move.”
Sui Xiong was even more surprised and hurriedly asked, “Since that time, you all have ambushed the surroundings?”
“Not exactly the surroundings. At that time, we were outside the Country of Rainbow,” The God of Protection said. “However, there was someone responsible for keeping a close watch over ‘the Seven Colors Spring’ as we waited for an opportunity to strike.”
A sudden thought struck Sui Xiong, and he asked aloud, “How did you all know there was an opportunity?”
The God of Protection was silent for a moment; then he replied, “I didn’t know. I just waited there, that’s all.”
“So, who told you there would be an opportunity?”
The God of Protection did not reply.
It was then that a strong tremor suddenly spread over the Positive Plane of the entire Ring of the World. This tremor did not contain any form of power, yet it evoked a heart-throbbing sensation.
At the same time, all spellcasters from all over the world could clearly sense the chaos of magic power. The power they used to be able to control easily suddenly felt so distant from them. Furthermore, there was a determined voice resounding within them.
