Battle Begins

"Yasen, Lulutia..."

Andres discovered the Saint Realm True Body of his acquaintances.

"Andres, you've arrived. Come to the temple."

Cilia's voice echoed in Andres's mind.

Cilia is Middle God, and Andres cannot detect her Divine Sense.

"Yes, Lady Cilia."

The temple is located deep within the Holy Alliance. It is an ancient castle with mottled exterior walls covered with ivy.

This is where the members of the Holy Alliance hold meetings; generally, no one comes here.

Andres entered the main hall, where only Cilia and Lulutia were present, or more precisely, Cilia and Lulutia's God Clone.

"Lady Cilia." Andres bowed respectfully.

Cilia nodded and said directly, "Andres, I won't waste any more words. How much do you know about Leighton?"

Andres understood that Cilia was probably wondering why he had warned the Elves to be careful of Leighton.

He considered for a moment and said, "I'm just guessing. Leighton hasn't shown himself for decades, and Faruk has been avoiding us for decades. But as soon as Leighton broke through, Faruk launched a war. I guess Leighton's strength must have increased greatly now, and he may even be a threat to Lady Cilia. Otherwise, Faruk wouldn't have made such a big move."

Cilia frowned in thought. She felt that Andres's guess was not unreasonable. In fact, her struggle with Faruk had long since extended to the Demigod powerhouses on both sides.

The two have been Middle God for many years without a clear winner, and both have placed their hopes on the geniuses of their respective races.

The Beastmen's side was represented by Leighton, while the Elves's side was Lulutia.

Both are geniuses and are at the peak of the Demigod. Whoever breaks through to become Middle God first will have the advantage.

Now that Faruk has mobilized so many troops, Cilia also suspects that Leighton must have made a major breakthrough.

But she was certain that Leighton was not yet Middle God.

"Besides becoming Middle God, what other major breakthroughs have you made?" Cilia asked, puzzled.

"Last time Lulutia won the battle against Lulutia Leighton. Now, even if Leighton has an additional Demigod avatar, he may not be able to defeat Lulutia. Why is Faruk so confident?"

Cilia was completely baffled.

Observing Cilia's expression, Andres was basically certain that Cilia was unaware of the Soul Mutation.

This is normal, though. Even in the original story, few Soul Mutation. In the current Dylan Plane, apart from Leighton, there probably hasn't been any other examples of successful Soul Mutation.

Just as Cilia was pondering, Lulutia's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly looked at Cilia.

"Teacher, the Beastmen have started their attack!"

Lulutia's Saint Realm True Body was with the Saint Realm True Body of other God-level expert, allowing her to quickly ascertain the battle situation.

Cilia's expression also turned serious. She was about to speak when, as if suddenly realizing something, she looked up and gazed northward through the dome of the hall.

"I've sensed Faruk's Divine Sense. Tell them to all retreat a bit." Cilia looked at Andres and Lulutia: "Leave Faruk to me. Leighton is yours to deal with."

"Teacher, I won't lose to him!" Lulutia said earnestly.

Andres nodded as well.

Lulutia has two Demigod clones, and his fusion of the two Profound Mystery "fast" and "slow" has reached a bottleneck. In a two-on-one fight, he is still somewhat confident in dealing with Leighton.

Before his Soul Mutation, Leighton's greatest strength was the Earth Law, which only possessed the talent of an ordinary Highgod. He certainly didn't have the Profound Mystery fusion, otherwise he wouldn't have lost to Lulutia.

Decades after his Soul Mutation, he had only just become a god in the Fire Elemental Law, and even if he had made a breakthrough in the Earth Law, it would likely be limited.

"What we need to be most careful about is his Fused Divine Power," Andres thought to himself.

The fusion of two divine powers increases their power tenfold, comparable to the fusion of two Profound Mystery at their peak, resulting in a terrifying increase in strength.

However, even if Andres and Lulutia teamed up and couldn't win, he was confident that he could hold his own and wouldn't lose.

Let's go.

Cilia left the main hall first, followed closely by Andres and Lulutia.

The three of them flew into the air and looked to the north, where Faruk appeared with Leighton.

"Lulutia, how are things going with the others?" Cilia asked.

She was somewhat concerned about the battle situation of the other God-level expert.

Lulutia did not answer immediately; she was communicating with the Saint Realm True Body Saint-level beings of other God-level expert through her Saint Realm True Body.

"Most of the battles are currently at a stalemate. Yasen and Gary are fighting their opponents and are managing to hold their own," Lulutia said.

"Yasen!" Andres was a little worried, but Yasen's understanding of the Profound Mystery of "speed" made him good at speed, so even if he couldn't win, he should be able to escape.

As for Gary, he is God-level expert among the Dwarf Race.

Overall, over the past few decades, the Elves have had the advantage in terms of God-level expert, because they have gained two more Godhood, Yasen and Andres, while the Beastmen have lost Milton, who was killed by Andres, thus losing a major fighting force.

Ultimately, the decisive factor in this war was the God-level expert.

"Tell them they don't need to fight for victory, just hold on," Cilia instructed.

"Okay, teacher."

The Elves and Beastmen divided the land into north and south, and at this point, the battle line was almost a straight line spanning the entire Sacred Tree Continent.

The God-level expert from both sides are scattered along this line. Once one side's God-level expert is killed, the other side will be able to advance unimpeded and invade the enemy's territory.

Therefore, even though the Elves had an advantage in the number of God-level expert, Cilia remained extremely cautious.

"Teacher, they all understand. The battle is going well right now, and Yasen's side is even slightly ahead," Lulutia said with a smile.

Cilia nodded, feeling a slight sense of relief.

On the other side, Faruk was clearly aware that he was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of God-level expert, so he immediately rushed towards Cilia at top speed!

"Watch out!"

Cilia's expression tightened, she said in a deep voice, and then went to meet Faruk's attack.

Faruk held a battle axe, and his body was covered in flames, like a fiery feather robe.

Flames raged on his body, and at the edge of the flames, even tiny spatial cracks appeared.

He raised the axe high, and all the flames on his body gathered on the axe blade.

"Boom!"

Faruk brought his axe down hard, and a fiery red streak shot out from the axe, slashing towards Cilia.

"Faruk, that trick won't work on me!"

Cilia was clearly very familiar with Faruk's move. Her body instantly transformed into a tree-like form, with countless branches and leaves sprouting from her. In the blink of an eye, she had become a Giant Tree that blotted out the sky.

A fiery red streak of light struck the Giant Tree, and flames spread rapidly.
