Chapter 476: The Arrival of the Divine Path
Bigel’s domain of plunder instantly covered the domains of the two true gods, Donald and Charlie, just as Carlisle from the human side had previously used his domain of bloody battle to overwhelm the domain of the Orc Sword Saint, securing a overwhelming advantage!
Humans and orcs alike, located dozens of miles away, could see the battle between the true gods. A dark golden-black screen instantly swallowed the white and green lights, clearly indicating that the Orc God was now in the upper hand.
The orcs present quickly recovered from their initial defeat and began to roar in excitement.
It seemed that the two human true gods had little resistance against the might of the Orc God. Of course, only a few knew the true situation—just as truth is always in the hands of a few!
Except for Bigel, the God of Plunder, who was quite carefree, the other Orc God, Kala, already sensed that something was amiss.
The two human gods seemed overwhelmed by Bigel’s attacks, but after a few moments, Bigel still hadn’t defeated them, maintaining his invincible stance. This made Kala, one of the few wise ones among the orcs, doubtful.
“Could they be trying to drain our divine power?”
But soon, Kala dismissed this idea. These Orc Gods had the support of millions of orcs behind them, granting them abundant divine power—more than enough even to surpass lower gods. Their rapid rise to new godhood was thanks to this strength. If their opponents tried such a tactic, they were doomed to failure!
“Attack!”
As Kala pondered, a greenish cone of light suddenly shot out from within the two domains enveloped by Bigel’s domain. It appeared as if it had crossed space in an instant, piercing straight into Bigel’s chest.
“A true divine artifact—”
Kala cried out in shock at this sight.
It was Donald using his exclusive divine artifact, Wrath of Nature, and its ability, Light of Judgment. Bigel, whose body was invaded by a powerful force, let out a pained roar.
But Donald noticed that Charlie, who should have followed up, hadn’t made a move. The King of the North hesitated—after all, he had only intended to repel or injure the invading orcs, never expecting Donald to use this opportunity to eliminate the two major Orc Gods.
One must know that the dictator Ughesh was once a supreme god. Even though his divine power has declined, he remains a powerful mid-tier god. He has already offended a powerful supreme god like the Lord of Dawn, but that was out of necessity as he was attacked. If he were to kill the Orc True God now, then he, Selt, would become mortal enemies with Ughesh, leaving no room for mediation or compromise!
Seeing Charlie’s expression, Donald immediately understood his thoughts and felt somewhat disappointed. While unleashing the Thunder of Divine Retribution to hold off the two orc gods, he shouted, “What are you waiting for? Humans and orcs are already mortal enemies. Even if we don’t take action, will Ughesh spare us just because he sees us?”
“Even mortals pick the softest fruits. There are no more than a handful of newly risen gods among humans in the main world. In any case, you and I will become targets of the Orc god system!”
Charlie was also a powerful ruler who had governed the North for hundreds of years, but he had temporarily been overwhelmed by fear of Ughesh’s strength. Donald’s words snapped him out of it, making him realize he had missed a great opportunity due to his own hesitation. Now, there was only one option: to fight head-on.
Regretful, the King of the North showed no mercy anymore. The sacred light emanated from his divine artifact, the Heart of the King, as he prepared to strike his enemy hard.
The God of Plunder, Bigel, was first struck by the light of divine retribution. The invasive force caused him considerable trouble, but the power of this light mainly lay not in attack but in locking onto a target. Its force eroded within the target, preventing them from escaping the natural attacks that followed.
Donald’s second bolt of Thunder of Divine Retribution put Bigel in even worse straits.
Kara, the God of Orc Reproduction, stepped in promptly to save her companion, but by then, King Charlie of the North had already reacted. He instantly activated the attack skill of his divine artifact, “Kingly Rule.”
A majestic figure, as if an angel descending from heaven, appeared beside King Charlie of the North. The figure’s face vaguely resembled Charlie’s—wearing a crown and a holy robe, holding a scepter in one hand and a sword in the other, exuding an aura of supreme kingship.
Empowered by this phantom, Charlie felt as if he were invincible, like the king of the world, ruling over all. Every thought, every mental impulse could be transformed into the most powerful sword and shield to attack and defend against enemies.
This is theKing of Kings mindset bestowed upon users recognized by divine artifacts, allowing them to transform their own thoughts into the power of a kingly sword intent. King Charles of the North already possessed domains related to royal power and nobility, as well as being the founder of the Celts, so his compatibility with the universal divine artifact, the Heart of a King, was extremely high, enabling it to exert even greater power.
Charles swung the divine artifact in his hand, and an endless sword aura, as if a chasm in the sky, slashed toward Karla, the Orc God of Birth, as if cutting through the Milky Way.
“Be careful!”
Karla immediately unleashed one of her sub-divine artifacts in the form of a bone shield to protect herself and Bigel from the enemy’s terrifying sword aura attack.
The attacks caused by this divine artifact carried three effects: sword aura, sword intent, and the physical form of the sword, capable of inflicting severe damage on physical, spiritual, and entities in between. Equipment below true divine artifacts could be shattered in one strike, and even lower-tier divine artifacts could have their divinity erased, causing significant damage.
Karla only had a defensive sub-divine artifact, and since orcs were generally not skilled at crafting equipment, this artifact was rather crudely made aside from its decent material. Under the triple effects of the Heart of a King’s sword aura, it was instantly split in two, just like thin bamboo branches facing a sharp axe.
Having lost one of her sub-divine artifacts and neutralized the enemy’s attack, before Karla could catch her breath, King Charles launched his second attack. Karla, who was already not good at combat, found herself in grave danger.
“Roar…”
Fortunately, at that moment, the God of Plunder, Bigel, reacted quickly. Enduring the damage caused by divine thunder within his body, he threw out a horn-shaped sub-divine artifact to block the second sword aura from the Heart of a King.
That horn-shaped sub-divine artifact clearly had exceptional material, as it could withstand a strike from the kingly sword aura with minimal damage. However, its divinity was worn down by the kingly sword intent, causing its surface glow to dim significantly.
Bigel had no time to worry, as the next attacks from the two true gods, Donald, came right after.
