The golden radiance was no longer a faint glimmer on the distant horizon. It spread with astonishing speed, like dawn piercing the deepest night.
Two immensely powerful wills reached the edge of the chaotic battlefield first.
They made no attempt to hide their presence. Their pure, searing Light Power hit the already taut atmosphere like water poured into boiling oil.
The sky took on a divine golden hue, stark against the deathly gray-white of the undead and the foul dark red of the Abyss.
Where the light reached, shadows retreated. The stench of decay and sulfur seemed to ignite, hissing as it was purified.
Two figures took shape within the light.
One wore Golden Battle Armor and held a greatsword blazing with Holy Flame. His face was resolute, his eyes filled with a hunger for battle and utter contempt for evil—God of War Helion.
The other wore Silver-White Hunt Attire and carried a longbow formed from moonlight and the essence of stars. Agile and keen-eyed as a hawk, she watched every dark corner of the battlefield—Hunting Goddess Artemis.
They were the God of Light System's mightiest spear and shield, executors of Divine Punishment who walked the mortal world.
"By our lord's command, we will purify this place!" The God of War's voice rang across the heavens like a great bell, heavy with unquestionable authority and judgment. "Undead, spawn of the Abyss, and creatures of shadow—in the Holy Light, your foul existence will be erased!"
Hunting Goddess Artemis said nothing, but she had already raised her Star Longbow. An arrow made entirely of light rested on the string, aimed at the center of the sea below: the area Night Lady guarded most fiercely, where Qin Chuan was undergoing his transformation!
That open hostility and unmistakable target put every god on edge.
