354:
“Now, we have come to the real climax of the stage.”
Shelley had called over all the legendary powers he could summon. This was not to say that the Goddess of Pain was so terrifying that Shelley needed to use all his strength.
Even if Loviatar had recovered a part of her strength, at most, she had only reached the peak of a weak divine power. She did not pose any threat to Shelley’s life. Even with his own strength, as long as he spent some more time, he could successfully kill her.
But Shelley thought that he needed a test to let Elena and the others understand that the future he had been afraid of before was not just talk.
Since blind protection could not be the best, then now he needed to let them understand… how terrifying and powerful the power of a true god was.
They were not just legendary beings with slightly stronger strength, but were truly beings of two different classes from mortals.
And they also needed to have the ability to protect themselves, and not to always hide behind Shelley.
Since they were going to live and die with Shelley, then they had to have the awareness to face all of this.
A battle test could let him understand their mentality, and their strength… and could even give them the courage to face a god.
To face a god, and even to kill a god with their own hands.
The legendary strength of one person was not enough, and two was not enough… then what about a group of legendary beings? And what if it was under the pressure of a true god and a terrifying being like Shelley?
God-slaying… Shelley was determined to do it.
Elena drew the greatsword from the ground, swung it with excitement, and then charged at the dazed otherworldly divine messenger in the sky with high spirits.
Ever since she had taken the position of queen, he had always been troubled by the complicated affairs of state and had rarely had the chance to sweat. Every time she tried her best to drain Shelley, it was already the only hearty exercise she could have.
Although Elena had always denied that she had any violent tendencies, and had no particular preference for killing, she had always emphasized that she had only trained because she had a talent… but Shelley looked at the now-excited Elena, who was like a runaway horse, and sighed helplessly.
Lilith, after a deep look at Shelley, immediately transformed into her werewolf form, and then she melted into the shadow behind Elena and charged at the enemy with her.
Catherine, on the other hand, immediately half-dragonized after receiving Shelley’s signal. Pure white dragon wings appeared on her back, and some crystalline dragon scales appeared on her body. She flapped her wings, followed Elena’s steps, puffed out her cheeks, and then she breathed a powerful dragon’s breath at the remaining otherworldly divine messenger.
The moment they descended, the two priestesses, Morgan and Erica, unfolded their domains at the same time.
“Misfortune Domain.”
“Luck Domain.”
Then the two of them, a little awkwardly, held each other’s hands, raised them high above their heads, and said solemnly, “Fate Domain.”
Everyone present felt that their own fate seemed to have become much clearer, and everything before their eyes had become different.
A line seemed to appear before Elena’s eyes. She had a feeling in her heart that as long as she cut along it, she could cause the greatest damage… so she cut down without hesitation.
The otherworldly divine messenger was startled by the unexpected attack. It wanted to raise the longsword in its hand to resist, but halfway through, its body inexplicably tilted, and it ended up using its own arm to block.
“Aaaaaaaah!”
The energy-formed arm flew out and exploded in the air. It wanted to heal itself, but was pressed by the victorious Elena, and had no time.
Nadia did not go forward. She came to Shelley’s side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and faced the now-uncertain-faced Goddess of Pain together.
Loviatar’s face became extremely ugly. She very clearly felt the crisis of death. And this crisis was not just now. It was just that it had been suppressed by some kind of power before, which had confused her senses, and now it had suddenly surged up like a flood.
That man, who was called a godslayer, had had the strength to kill her before. Because of his own actions, the situation on the field had not only not improved, but had instead made her despair…
A legendary. And multiple legendary beings. And a god.
Although her strength did not look very terrifying, she was indeed a new god who had not been affected by the fluctuations of the Time of Troubles and had fallen.
“The Goddess of Half-Elves…”
Nadia stared at her for a long time before she said with emotion, “Before they encounter a crisis, I will not make a move.”
Although she had been a true god for some time, because Shelley had not let Nadia return to the divine kingdom, and had not let her have contact with other gods… every day, she just received the prayers of her followers and bestowed divine magic on her priests, and there was nothing else.
She spent more time with Lydia, dealing with the affairs of the kingdom, and instead, she had thrown all the affairs of the half-elven church to Shelley.
So Nadia actually did not have a particularly great experience of being a god.
But when she really came face to face with the goddess of pain from the myths and legends, Nadia discovered… that the goddess seemed to be no different from her current self.
She finally had some real feeling of being a god.
And Shelley on the side had also put away Pale Justice again. He blinked at Loviatar and said with a hint of meaning, “Don’t hesitate. Hurry up and use all your backup plans.”
“If you hesitate any longer, you won’t have a chance.”
Loviatar looked at Shelley with shame, but she did not dare to make any rash moves. He was quickly thinking of a way to break the situation.
Hearing this, she no longer hesitated and shouted, “Go, my followers.”
“Fight for me.”
To the Goddess of Pain’s surprise, the voices that responded to her in Deephearth were few, and almost every one of them had injuries of varying degrees.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you…”
“Tonight, it wasn’t just Lliira’s church that made a move. The church of the Dark Maiden also made a move.”
Shelley’s expression made Loviatar’s heart completely fall into a dead silence, and the battle on the other side had also come to an end at this time.
Elena and the others, with their clever cooperation, had cut the few otherworldly divine servants in half like crushing dry weeds and were now charging over.
“I am willing to submit.”
Loviatar’s overly decisive words made Elena and the others’ charging steps stop. They looked at Shelley with hesitation.
Seeing that there was a turning point, Loviatar even directly said, “I am willing to offer everything I have to you.”
“Whether it’s my soul or my body.”
Tsk.
[Oh-ho, someone’s jealous? You’d better be careful. Hahaha…]
Although Shelley did not hear clearly who had made this sound, his expression did not change in the slightest.
Slowly walking to the front of Loviatar, Shelley looked at the now-kneeling Goddess of Pain and said softly, “You said you are willing to offer everything to me… that is to say, you will listen to any command?”
Loviatar nodded with hesitation.
Then she looked at Shelley, who had lowered his head, and affectionately came to her ear, whispering, “Then my first command is…”
“Please go and die.”
