Chapter 497: Dimensional Freeze

As the urgency of the Storm God and the overwhelming presence generated by the berserk Red Demon God spread outward, a powerful force also arose in the east at the edge of the Storm God’s territory. However, that party took no action, seemingly content to watch the chaos unfold without any intention of helping either side!

The powerful warriors present noticed this situation but failed to react. Now surrounded by several supreme gods, the Storm God, somewhat panicked, had no choice but to lower his pride and seek help from his old rival.

After speaking, the Storm God saw no response from the Gray Forest God and grew furious. Anxiously, he cried, “Do you think they’ll be satisfied after taking my territory? We’re on the same side. If you don’t help me, it will be your Gray Forest tribe next to be invaded…”

As the Storm God’s neighbor, the Gray Forest God’s territory was mainly located in the vast forest areas along the southeast coast, separated from the Storm God’s land only by a mountain range. Under normal circumstances, things would indeed be as the Storm God said.

But since Donald had already informed the Gray Forest God through the White Mountain God before taking action, explaining that the purpose of this joint effort by the gods was to retaliate for the Storm God’s previous attack and that other totem gods would not be involved, the Gray Forest God felt reassured.

Thus, he had no intention of warning or helping the Storm God. Given their closely adjacent territories and the Storm God’s nature, friction was inevitable. In fact, the greedy and cruel Storm God had long coveted the Gray Forest tribe’s lands, repeatedly seeking excuses to launch wars and seize them.

There had already been more than one totem god under the Gray Forest God killed in conflicts with the Storm God’s forces.

Therefore, the Gray Forest God wanted nothing more than to devour the Storm God alive. How could he possibly have the kindness to save him in trouble? With the impartial White Mountain God acting as a guarantor, he felt even more at ease.

Moreover, the Gray Forest God also feared the strength of the gods on the main continent. Even if he decided to act, he knew he couldn’t resist their combined forces alone.

He blocked a divine spear strike from an opponent’s supreme god with his arm guard and deflected a divine one-handed sword slash with a grab, but when faced with the impact of a divine armor attack from a third supreme god enemy, he could only endure the blow with his own divine body.

Surrounded, and with no response from the God of Ashen Forest to his pleas for help, the God of Chaotic Winds was filled with despair!
This was also the weakness of the Totem Gods—they lacked the ability to summon avatars or holy beings, so when faced with attacks from multiple powerful foes, they could only fight on their own. At this point, perhaps only by sacrificing themselves could they have a sliver of a chance. Thus, with half of their divine power exhausted and their bodies covered in wounds, the God of Chaotic Winds, ignoring his injuries, unleashed all the remaining divine power, preparing to detonate the divine artifact in his hands.
But Donald and the others had anticipated this move. When the God of Chaotic Winds showed signs of danger, the future Donald, disregarding the consequences of breaking the rules, once again used the Great Law Spell.
The terrified God of Chaotic Winds froze instantly. Meanwhile, Donald, connected mentally with his future self, acted swiftly—the light of Truth seized the two secondary divine artifacts in the God of Chaotic Winds’ hands. How could those two primary divine artifacts, now without their master’s control, possibly stand against Truth? Under the pressure of a two-tier difference in power, they were instantly subdued within the Realm of Truth.
The King of the North and the Sea God naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity for a surprise attack. They immediately struck at the God of Chaotic Winds.
After recovering from his brief paralysis, the God of Chaotic Winds realized not only had two more wounds appeared on his body, but his two major divine artifacts, which had been connected to his mind, had also disappeared, leaving him completely unable to sense them.
In panic, he realized his only option was to detonate his divine essence. But how could Donald allow such a valuable prize to be destroyed?
Moreover, the detonation of a lower-tier god’s divine essence could destroy half of the main world. Even under the constraints of the rules, at least half of the Totem Continent would be erased.
“Be careful! Don’t let him detonate!”
Apart from being protected by Truth, if the God of Chaotic Winds exploded, almost everyone present would surely perish. So, the moment the King of the North and the others held back the God of Chaotic Winds, Donald exchanged a glance with his future self and together unleashed the Great Prophecy Spell, which they had never used before.
“I hope that those who attempt to destroy the world will be imprisoned by it, and forces beyond the material plane will be frozen by the rules!”

As the two spoke in perfect unison, Storm God found the space around him instantly freezing. A powerful will of the plane exerted immense pressure on his body and soul; he couldn’t resist at all. Before he could even open his mouth or blink, he was frozen by the plane’s rules—his thoughts, body, divine fire, and divine essence all trapped.

“Act!”

After casting the Great Prophecy Spell, Donald merely said those words before, along with his future self, spewing golden divine blood from their mouths. Their divine bodies withered as well, clearly showing that the Great Prophecy Spell had a severe backlash on beings like Storm God who far exceeded its intended power level.

This was only because such an act to save a self-destructing divine essence was highly beneficial to the main world, and since two people were sharing the effort, the backlash was greatly reduced. Otherwise, they might have perished on the spot just to inflict punishment on such a powerful foe.

The King of the North immediately understood Donald’s intention. The moment Storm God lost the ability to resist, he swung the Heart of the King in his hand and thrust it at Storm God’s chest. When the sword tip pierced through, a brilliant dodecahedral crystal emerged—Storm God’s divine essence.

After Charles completed this action, Donald waved his hand, sealing Storm God’s divine essence and physical body separately within the Kingdom of Truth.

Only then did he sigh in relief, his face showing extreme exhaustion.

“How is it?”

The King of the North and the others stepped forward anxiously.

Donald shook his head, saying there was no need to worry.

“Uther!”

Hearing his master call him, Uther immediately understood and used his holy light healing abilities on both masters. Under time replication, the injuries suffered by the present and future selves would accumulate, so it was necessary to heal most of them before they disappeared.

Thanks to Uther’s treatment—and the natural healing powers inherent in his divine domains—Donald quickly returned to normal, at least on the surface.

Fortunately, the backlash only affected his physical body and soul; his divine essence remained unharmed. Otherwise, recovery would have been much more difficult!
