The Last Standoff Before the Adventure

Gods were always exceedingly arrogant, and Smile, now in a state of extreme fury, was naturally even more overbearing.

She looked as though, if Punk could not give a reasonable explanation, the maiden goddess would rush forward and start throwing punches. As for the difference in their strength... such factors simply did not fall within the considerations of an impulsive god.

Having fused with her divine office less than ten thousand years ago, the alterations it had made to her will were already enough to cause most gods to lose their composure when their emotions fluctuated violently.

However, Punk truly could not afford to underestimate Smile's mysterious confidence.

Granted, gods who left their divine kingdoms were generally half-baked in combat. Against opponents of the same level, they could usually only run away. But... that did not mean gods posed no threat at all.

For one thing, every god still possessed a final trump card. Do not forget that gods possessed divine offices. If driven into a corner, tearing a divine office from their soul and hurling it at an enemy would create an immensely troublesome disaster.

In fact, this method of "hitting people with divine offices" had even been developed into an extremely terrifying divine spell. Although gods who voluntarily tore away their divine offices would generally suffer an immediate decline in divine power or even perish outright, even Radiant Sun powerhouses could only evade the divine spell known as "Gift of God" rather than resist it head-on. Should an unclaimed divine office so much as brush against them... the outcome would be worse than death for any Legendary professional!
