Unnamable Will

Rein has been in this mist-shrouded world for quite some time now, and he has long understood that neither the two great empires nor City of Radiance have any real religious beliefs among its people.

There were indeed gods in ancient times, but not now, and people no longer believe in those gods who have disappeared into the dust of history.

The only thing you hear people talking about often is probably the "God of Steam" that mechanics worship.

The name of a fictional deity.

Of course, the Kolman Tribe still retains their belief in the Seventy-Two Divine Generals, "Morogos," which is somewhat unusual. This is because they already know the gods have fallen, and their faith is largely based on ancestral teachings and customs.

Previously, Rein had learned from Master Cavo that other Deity Inheritance besides the "Seventy-Two Divine Generals" had also been discovered in the Ice Ridge Wasteland.

However, those methods that have been passed down and have always been regarded as "evil and taboo" are all "evil gods".

Our ancestors left us warnings: do not be curious, do not touch, do not respond, do not believe.

Those who attempt to worship "evil gods" will have their souls dragged into an endless abyss by demons, bringing about world-ending disaster.

When Rein saw King Kiplin kneeling before the idol before his death, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

This statue is a "Three-Eyed Race deity," a race depicted in the temple murals as an enemy that defeated the Black Emperor, Moises.

Definitely a top-tier "evil god".

The luminous statue that Kipling took out was clearly no ordinary statue. It was crystal clear, with a layer of fluorescence like a luminous pearl on its surface. As soon as the statue was taken out, people felt an aura of sacred majesty.

Rein had seen this fluorescence in the Central Courtyard Tribe of the Kolman Tribe.

The statue of the god worshipped by the Kolman people during their time, which was next to the tribal altar, was also there, but it was as thin as gauze; it was far less lustrous than the one before us, which was as bright as moonlight.

The Great Shaman Mafat said that it was "the power of faith and will".

The moment the barrier of the Black Wind Territory's main Mechanical City was broken, several living people from City of Radiance were already gone from the ruined Duke's Mansion.

Kipling knelt devoutly on the ground, bowing before the statue.

On his deathbed, this glorious king willingly offered up everything, murmuring, "Great God Jaliad, grant me strength, I am willing to offer my soul."

He found this statue in an ancient ruin many years ago.

That was a place where "evil gods" were worshipped tens of thousands of years ago.

He once knew this was a "Forbidden Method" and dared not touch it, because he had clearly felt the "devil's tempting" voice from the idol for countless days and nights.

However, the idol possessed "magical power," which is why he did not abandon it.

Kipling was once just an ordinary Winst Family, not particularly gifted. But with this idol by his side, his meditation, cultivation, and breakthroughs became divinely aided. This allowed him to surpass his peers in magical cultivation, becoming a "genius" in everyone's eyes, until today, when he reached the Fifth-tier Extraordinary.

He didn't tell anyone about it.

Today, I am going to die.

He took out the idol that had once changed his destiny.

Kipling also realized on the brink of death that there was nothing he couldn't let go of, even if it meant surrendering his soul to the devil.

Not only did Master Cavo recognize that Kipling's actions were "worship of an evil god," Great Shaman Mafat was not far away, also recognized it!

The two top-tier Transcendent instantly sensed the power emanating from the statue that was beyond their comprehension.

Mafat was also extremely decisive, raising his hand and thrusting a gun at Kipling.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The gunshot pierced Kipling's body, but unfortunately, there was no more blood. It was as if the gunshot had pierced through a body of flames, leaving a hole, but it instantly healed.

Seeing this from a distance, Rein's pupils suddenly contracted. "Elemental Body?"

He couldn't understand what had happened to Kipling that had transformed his flesh and blood body into Elemental Body.

It was probably the power of God.

At this moment, an even stranger scene unfolded.

Kipling's prayer was answered.

The sky was filled with swirling clouds, and suddenly a gigantic human face slowly materialized in the void. The face's features were blurred, but the vertical pupil on its forehead was crystal clear. And that single pupil, facing the direction of the Duke's Mansion, slowly opened.

In an instant, an indescribable, unspeakable, and unbearable Great Terror descended upon everyone's hearts.

This is an oppressive force originating from the soul.

It's that feeling of humility, as if being watched by a deity.

The moment it opened its eyes, it felt as if the world was about to collapse.

[Warning! Under attack by unknown energy]

Upon hearing the system notification, Rein was truly stunned; he never expected such a turn of events to occur.

"This is the will of God!"

He never expected that the will of a deity would descend upon this place.

I had experienced this feeling before with the Great Shaman Mafat Rein.

Back then in the Central Courtyard Tribe, Mafat single-handedly fought against the entire Mage Corps of City of Radiance by borrowing the will of the gods.

However, the feeling back then was nowhere near as intense as it is now.

He never expected that Kipling's last-minute attempt to seek divine help would actually bring down the will of the gods!

Fortunately, before the human face could fully reveal itself, dense phantom chains suddenly appeared in the sky, as if to prevent the giant face from breaking free from the void.

In an instant, the sense of impending doom that had gripped everyone finally dissipated.

The third eye of the face in the sky remained closed. A low, murmuring voice suddenly echoed through the void, "Eh, the Chains of Rule? That power feels familiar... Moises... Abyssal Demonic Qi... So it's the 'God-forsaken Ruins'."

Although Rein didn't understand the exact meaning of the soliloquy, he vaguely grasped its significance.

This is also a higher language family similar to the "Ancient Demon Language".

This left Rein completely dumbfounded.

I originally thought that Kipling had activated the remaining divine will within the statue, but I never expected that this descending "will" would actually speak.

Damn it, this "deity" is alive!

The Great Shaman Mafat, who was not far away, also changed his expression, his turbid eyes filled with fierceness, "Outer Realm Evil God!"

As the Evil God's Will descended, the black cat that was hunting and eating evil spirits throughout the Mechanical City also looked up and saw the giant face in the sky. A primal aversion made her instinctively bristle, letting out a hissing "heh heh heh" sound.

The "Evil God's Will" seemed to be blinded; it could not see what was happening, but it could sense the presence of the idol.

Just then, a deep, resonant voice echoed in Kipling's ears, "My devout believer, the Lord grants you strength."

The next instant, the statue suddenly shone brightly, and Kipling, who had been beaten to the brink of death, suddenly burst into flames as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

Its imposing presence even overshadowed the Great Shaman Mafat!

Originally just a fire mage with flesh and blood, he has now transformed into a fire giant with pure elemental limbs.

"Let's do it!"

The Great Shaman Mafat wouldn't just stand there and watch. The moment that mysterious will descended, the demonic phantom behind him also shone brightly, and he instantly finished chanting the incantation, shouting, "Call the Wind!"

Suddenly, a great storm was brewing.

The power of the fifth-tier wind spell was like a category 18 typhoon, instantly causing the steel frame of the Duke's Mansion to shake violently. The vines, no longer under the witch's control, snapped and broke with a series of cracking sounds.

Since we know that the opponent is now in an elemental form, the effectiveness of physical attacks is extremely limited.

If it were a pure Melee Extraordinary like Bazel or Canossa, they might really be unable to do anything to Kipling in front of them.

But the Great Shaman Mafat is a master of both magic and martial arts!

As the hurricane roared in, Mafat made a hand seal, inhaled sharply, and unleashed a powerful, frosty-white gust of wind mixed with cold air, shouting, "Secret Technique of the Wind - Dance of the Wind Spirits!"

A strong wind blew, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

At the same time, Elder Rain Master Fofa finished chanting his magic, and the water vapor in the air instantly condensed into tiny water droplets. As if pulled by an invisible suction force, they transformed into thin, elongated water droplets.

"Rain's Secret Technique: The Thousand Spears Technique!"

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The hundreds of water spears, upon encountering the icy air of the hurricane, instantly condensed into individual halberds. Accelerated by the storm, the ice spears shot forward like bullets.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

From a distance, Rein watched as Mafat and Fofa unleashed this top-tier spell, which he had only seen in the Kolman Tribe's inherited secret texts. He was utterly astonished. "So powerful!"

The two top-tier Transcendent beings joined forces and unleashed an incredibly powerful composite spell: [Ice Calamity Descends]!

The combined power of the ice spear unleashed by these two legendary warriors was naturally terrifying.

The moment it appeared, the killing intent was already there.

The sharp ice spear easily pierced through everything in its path: steel plates, walls, and vines.

Where it lands, it will surely freeze the entire area.

The High-tier Extraordinary guards around Kipling, after parrying several ice spears in the chaos, were frozen on the spot by the cold air covering the exploding ice spears.

Several more ice spears pierced through the corpse, followed by a series of crisp cracking sounds as the guards, now frozen solid, collapsed into shattered ice.

This move is a composite area-of-effect spell that combines "ice damage," "wind element suppression," and "sticky control," and even ordinary fifth-tier Transcendent cannot do anything about it.

In the blink of an eye, the vast Duke's Mansion was frozen in the glistening snow.

But!

Even with this move, Kipling, who had transformed into a body of flames, remained unmoved.

Upon closer inspection, amidst the swirling snow and wind, a spiral of flames rose around his body, with a hurricane whipping the flames into the sky, yet failing to harm his true form in the slightest.

At this moment, the Radiant King spoke up, "The methods are not bad, but unfortunately, the level of understanding of the elemental laws is too low."

It was Kipling's voice, but his arrogant tone sounded unfamiliar.

Just then, he raised his hand and waved it, and a ferocious fire tiger appeared in the void, rushing towards Mafat and the others in the blink of an eye.

There was no chanting, no hand seals, no magical energy condensation.

No process involved, it's done instantly!

It was an instantaneous casting of a fifth-tier spell—[Fireball - Cataclysm]!

This is something even legendary magicians couldn't do, and now Kipling has come in handy so easily!

"Bang!"

The Fire Tiger charged straight at Mafat, exploding into a burst of intense flames.

Its power far exceeded expectations!

In that instant, the steel melted, the rivets sprang off, and the entire top floor of the Duke's Mansion nearly collapsed.

The violent shockwave from the explosion hit, and even before the flames arrived, people on the third floor of Rein could feel the scorching heat radiation that burned their skin.

His expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed Wudo beside him and jumped down toward the Mechanical City.

From the moment that "Evil God's Will" descended, he knew that today's fight was going to be tough.

Seeing Kipling's instant-cast fifth-tier spell just now reminded Rein of the legendary skeleton he encountered in the "Karatva Basin" wasteland temple, who could unleash deadly attacks that created spatial rifts with a mere wave of his hand.

Skeleton Monster, lacking intelligence, are relatively easy to deal with, but what lies before you is a living, breathing human being.

Now, Kipling, empowered by the Evil God's Will god, has reached the peak of the Legendary Realm in terms of combat power!

If the upper limit of the laws that this space can withstand is one hundred, a normal fifth-level Transcendent being releasing this spell would probably achieve an effect of sixty or seventy points.

And Kipling just scored 99 points.

The power of his magic has reached the limit that this space can withstand!

While Rein and his companion were still falling through the air, Kipling made his move again!

He raised his hand, holding two fire snakes in his palm, but with a push, they transformed into two enormous fire pythons several meters in diameter.

This was none other than—[Arcane Mage: Fire Dragon Roar]!

It's instantaneous again!

Another fifth-tier spell!

Its power is unbelievably great!

Two fire pythons exploded into a mushroom of fire on the top floor of the Duke's Mansion, scattering and melting steel plates and frames.

This made Rein and Wudo, who were falling, feel the shockwave of the explosion, like an invisible hand pressing them down towards the ground.

With a muffled thud, the two men crashed heavily onto the steel floor.

"Wudo, are you alright?"

"It's alright."

Standing up, Rein brushed the dust off Wudo, then looked up at the top of the Mechanical City, which was now blasted beyond recognition, a hundred meters above him, his expression grave.

This Misty World only allows fifth-order Law Power to exist. Within this limited range, even if a being like the Great Shaman Mafat couldn't defeat Kipling in his current form, it would be difficult for him to be defeated.

Moreover, there are several thousand wyverns and rattan-armored warriors!

Kipling is outnumbered; no matter how powerful he is, he's still just one person. Even with the blessing of "divine will," he wouldn't gain any advantage; a war of attrition would wear him down!

He wasn't worried that the Great Shaman Mafat and his group would lose.

Rein was worried about the potential consequences of Kipling summoning the "divine will" this time.

The appearance of a "living god" caused many things to develop in unpredictable directions.

This Misty World has existed for so many years, and apart from that mechanical airship, there's never been any known intruders from Beyond the Mist. Now that one has arrived, it's no wonder people are worried.

The development of Black Dragon City has suddenly become somewhat urgent.

They had to be wary of hunters with rifles lurking in the forest, aiming their shots at them.

However, it is both a crisis and an expectation.

Looking up at the sky, Rein murmured, "So, there really are gods in this world."

Speculation is one thing, historical legends are another, but seeing something with your own eyes is a completely different feeling.

Seeing that giant face in the sky, and the world Beyond the Mist, he became even more interested in exploring it.

The battle on the top floor of the Mechanical City was quite intense, with flames turning most of the sky red, but it didn't last long.

Just as Rein had predicted, the Great Shaman Mafat, with their overwhelming numerical advantage, defeated the lone Kipling.

Although some price was paid, the [Fire Totem] was successfully retrieved.

But the Great Shaman Mafat said that he sensed that the aura of Kipling had not completely disappeared.
