631 Lack of Experience (1/2)

On the universe created to be the battlefield, the battles continued. At those high levels, the battles were extremely short when one party was far stronger than the other to practically finish it with one hit, or extremely long when neither was able to kill the other quickly.

Of course, those dragging the battles on purpose were different since they just made it feel their opponents like they were unable to finish the battle quickly.

Thousands of years weren't a strange time for a battle of that level, so in most cases, those battling were already prepared to have a long battle since they weren't able to finish quickly.

Everyone had a lot of experience fighting and had a lot of methods to increase their chances of survival, so unless they were really powerless facing their opponents, staying alive was still possible.

However, Kabur's group started showing signs of defeat after just a year. They were still alright, but their opponent already got used to battle with them while they were unable to adapt to battle against him despite the numeric advantage. Their opponent was too strong for them to do something. They managed to endure thanks to their cooperation, but since their opponent got used to it, they were already in a tight spot.

”Shit, this is only going worse. We four aren't enough to face this guy at all.”

Kabur knew their situation very well, but he couldn't flee. There was no way their opponent would let them flee. If they stopped opposing resistance to flee, they would get killed.

Their defenses were really high thanks to their clothes with the Dimensional Divinity, but the clothes were just an external factor. If they weren't strong enough, even with them, they wouldn't be able to endure.

Others in their situation had already died due to the lack of those additional defenses, and they did it in a very short span of time.

Kabur and Gloriana were Great Gods, but Bashi and Lily were just Gods, and they weren't too experienced compared to others battling in that war. They were relatively young, based on the average age of those participating, so it was natural that their experience was lacking. Even Yale was considered young when using that average as a reference, but that didn't count the time he spent in the Timeless Border.

Bashi and Lily didn't even have that much real battle experience since they had been quite sheltered from a young age. They obtained a lot of experience while traveling through the universes, but that wasn't enough when compared to the others.

Gloriana spent a long time dead until yale resurrected her, so she was also quite lacking on experience compared to Kabur, and their opponent was far more experienced than Kabur.

Kabur was the one trying to endure the strongest attacks, with Gloriana covering him when he couldn't do it anymore. They didn't dare to let their disciples got hit by those attacks.

Their enemy wasn't one of the original Gods, but he was still one of the oldest ones, which meant that he was among the few first mortals to become Gods.

He also obtained a lot of different Divinities, and he used them all, so he was far more versatile than those who liked to only focus on one despite having others.

Of course, he didn't have extremely powerful Divinities like the Time Divinity, the Dimensional Divinity, and the Miracle Divinity. He mostly had the classical ones based on elements and weapons, but those were already scary enough for Kabur's group.

That True God was still completely unscathed. As a True God, he didn't like to lower his defense even against those he considered weak. The main flaw of True Gods was how easily they could die if they were attacked without any defense, so he even carefully blocked the attacks of Lily and Bashi.

Lily and Bashi mostly attacked when the True God was attacking Kabur or Gloriana, so it was relatively safer to attack, but there wasn't anything absolutely safe when facing that kind of opponent, so they sometimes got countered.

The True God's left punch sent Kabur flying until a planet stopped him, but he wasn't injured. That wasn't the first time something like that happened, and all the planets were already created to be destroyed on the battles. Without something to stop him, he didn't know how much he would fly back until being able to stop.

After Kabur got hit, Bashi attacked the True God like he usually did, but then, Lily noticed something strange before she attacked together with Bashi.

”Back off!”

She sent that message to Bashi at the same moment she noticed there was something strange, but she knew that there was no way Bashi could react quickly enough since he was in the midst of attacking.

The True God blocked Bashi's attack effortlessly, but he didn't counterattack immediately.

Bashi, who was shocked by Lily's words and for not having gone flying back after the attack, had his mind blank for a mere second, but a second was too long in that kind of battle.

The True God had already taken out a big sword that was about to hit Bashi. That attack couldn't be compared to those the True God was using before.

Even with those clothes, without actively defending against that attack, Bashi had no way to survive.

However, although Bashi couldn't react in time, Lily, who noticed something wrong before, created a huge barrier using the Ice Divinity and the Space Divinity. Sadly, she only had the Minor Space Divinity, so the barrier relied more on the Ice Divinity.
