"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Intruder detected!... Intruder detected!..."

With a cold, metallic sound, a semi-transparent light screen immediately appeared on the surface of the Arcane Tower. Then, the Tower Spirit appeared at the top of the Arcane Tower, coldly stating, "Triggering Level 1 combat readiness!... Activating the Arcane Tower defensive field!... Initiating defensive combat plan!... Golem Legion activated!..."

Rumble!

The walls of the Arcane Tower suddenly caved in, followed by a series of loud footsteps. One after another, Puppet Golem emerged from within the Arcane Tower. These Golem were far beyond the craftsmanship of the Material Plane; even the lowest tier were specially crafted Steel Golem. As for the others, there were countless Adamantite Golem, Magical Energy Power Device, Magical Energy- powered guards, and so on. The civilization of the Arcane Empire not only endowed them with powerful melee capabilities but also granted many Golem anti-air abilities and various long-range energy attack methods.

But the final result remained unchanged!

The Arcane Tower's defensive field shattered as easily as an eggshell, and the Golem Legion was easily surrounded by monsters pouring out of the Spatial Rift, and then all of them were dismantled into scrap metal.

God's Realm.

A kingdom belonging to the Deity.

After death, believers are reborn within the God's Realm. The vast majority of devout believers become [Petitioners], the original inhabitants of the God's Realm. A smaller number of fanatical believers become powerful Holy Spirit, some even having their bodies reshaped by Deity Divine Power in a form similar to [Angel]. Since the birth of Angel, many Deity have attempted to transform their fanatical followers into Angel forms, though due to their Alignment good or evil, they are sometimes divided into [Outsider Apostle] and [Fallen Apostle].

Both of these bear an uncanny resemblance to the form of Angel!

Believers, reborn within the God's Realm, possess near-infinite Hit Points. This near-eternal Hit Points comes at the cost of making them part of the God's Realm, their lives and deaths becoming one with the Deity being. [Petitioners] cannot leave the Deity realm; only in [God War] can they participate as the backbone of a particular Deity's forces. For any Deity, if they commit all their Petitioners to battle, it signifies their readiness for a life-or-death struggle.

a month of Sundays.

The God's Realm is like an energy reservoir. The Church develops believers in other Plane, Deity select the best believers and then guide them to the Deity kingdom. Many of these believers become Petitioners and Holy Spirit. Some exist as ordinary Reincarnated Entity. The quality of the soul and the piety of the faith determine the believer's identity after entering the God's Realm. This is similar to souls falling into the Abyss; some can be directly transformed into Greater Demon, while others can only become Abyssal Worm (monsters of CR 1).

The difference is huge, isn't it?

But this is the rule of the Multiverse: the power at the soul level is amplified by the rules of other dimensions after the loss of a physical body.

For example, Soren.

If he were to die by accident, given the purity of his soul and his willpower, as long as his soul didn't perish for some reason, reincarnation Greater Demon would be effortless for him. However, by then he would have forgotten too much; any reincarnation results in the loss of a large amount of memory, even for believers of Deity. Upon entering the God's Realm, they only retain memories of their devout faith, while other memories gradually fade until they disappear completely. (Note: Analysis of some information regarding the God's Realm, Volume 3.)

How many followers does the Spider Queen have?

She ruled the Drow for a very long time, and throughout those thousands of years, new Spider Queen entered her realm every day. Perhaps some of these followers were consumed in battles with other Deity, but the total number continued to increase; otherwise, [the Demon Abyss Hell] wouldn't have grown to the size of a Plane. (Note: <The Unknown Relationship Petitioners and the Size of the God's Realm>. Volume 1.)

Outsiders rarely enter the realm of the Deity.

No one could truly understand what lay within the [Demon Abyss Hell], but even from just a glimpse, the power accumulated by the Spider Queen over a long period was terrifying. There weren't many Petitioners; leading the charge were swarms of dark, Demon Spider, and various monsters transformed as punishment by the Spider Queen.

They were like cannon fodder, engulfing everything, and the Spider Queen didn't care at all about the consumption of these creatures.

Tens of thousands.

More and more Demon Spider are appearing, along with other indescribable monsters.

Through the dimensional rift that opened in the sky, one could vaguely see a vast forest in the darkness. This forest looked like a giant spider web, with a Palace resembling a spider mother coiled in the center.

This is Lolth's God's Realm!

Or rather, this is just a part of the grooved domain within the God's Realm.

Damn it!

"These annoying guys are like Shadow Spirit that won't leave you alone!"

The Vampire God Child stared ahead with a troubled expression. Before him stood a squad of fully armed Paladin, but that wasn't the key point. The key point was that one of the Paladin held a weapon that even he found frightening. Although the weapon was still sheathed, his Deity senses already made him feel danger—extremely, extremely danger!

A team of Legendary Paladin.

Even the weakest one was a high-ranking Paladin, and among them were even high-ranking priests of the God of Justice, as well as some other professions that he couldn't even identify.

It could be an advancement for a priest.

"What are they planning to do? A group of people have come to the Underdark? Are they here to Purify Evil?"

The Vampire God Child was ready for battle at any moment. Among the Paladin before him was one who wielded a heavy hammer in one hand and a thick black Codex in the other. This burly man actually put considerable pressure on him. This was something he had rarely encountered since he ascended to Portfolio as Vampire. A Paladin who could threaten him was probably no ordinary Legendary figure.

"Codex Guardian, Inquisitor, Arbiter!..."

The Hell Poet's expression was also serious; he appeared to have suffered severe injuries, the cause of which was unknown. He Telepathy, saying, "It looks like some legendary organization!... That sword is extremely dangerous! I fear it might be that thing!..."

"Not easy to deal with!"

"The Rogue and the God of Half-Elves have been dealt with! Our objective has been achieved! I need some time to absorb His power!"

"Let's just find a way to get rid of these annoying guys!..."

On the other side.

The Paladin stared intently at the two people before them, their expressions grave. Even without any detection Spell, they could sense the other's Evil.

Venturing into the Underdark is a rather risky undertaking.

However, they had a compelling reason to come, so the lineup they sent this time was quite impressive.

They even brought a legendary weapon here.

"Purify Evil?"

Standing to the side of the group was a priest, bearing the Emblem of the Lord of Radiance on his chest. He had always been active on the front lines against Demon, and had come here only for certain special personal reasons.

He stared at the Vampire God Child before him, seemingly recognizing his identity. He then turned slightly to the Paladin beside him and said, "Vampire - Reinhard. One of the Fear God Child. He unleashed a bloody Slaughter in the southern part of the continent, turning many innocent people into Vampire Servant. He ultimately became False Deity as Vampire, establishing Church and operating in secret, but never ceasing his Evil plans. His followers continue to wreak havoc in various places, and the spread of Vampire in many areas is absolutely inseparable from him."

"Because of his existence, at least tens of thousands of people were brutally murdered!..."

The atmosphere gradually became heavy.

The surrounding space had already been locked. The leading Paladin glanced at the two enemies before him, then slowly placed his palm on the black Codex and said in a deep voice, "Evil must be judged!"

This battle was almost inevitable.

If they simply allow two Evil and heinous enemies to leave, their future path will be forever fraught with vulnerabilities.

This is like watching Demon wreak havoc on the mortal realm while remaining indifferent.

Moreover...

They weren't without any chance of winning, because this time they had even brought out the [Holy Avenger].

Tier 5 Artifact.

Although its power hasn't been fully restored, allowing it to be upgraded back to Artifact +6, as long as the Holy Avenger is in hand, they still have a considerable chance of victory even against powerful Evil God.

Item Type: Holy Avenger - Carsomyr [+5]

Item Level: [Tier 5 Artifact]

Item Description: The Holy Avenger is the Paladin's ultimate weapon against Evil forces! In the lower Plane, almost no Evil can withstand its power. Carsomyr is a Legendary weapon, perhaps one of the most powerful weapons in the Material Plane. However, its origins and history have been completely forgotten. This sword possesses power that makes Evil tremble with fear; even powerful Evil God and Demon have heard of its name. But this is not its true power; this Artifact is missing its most important part.

Equipment requirements: 14 or more points in Strength; can only be used by Paladin.

Equipment Effects: Artifact Property. 50% Magic Resistance, Dispel Magic (3 times), +15 Sharpness, +10 Penetration, +15 Toughness, +10 Armor Piercing, +10 Divine Damage.

Weapon Special Effect: [Dispel Magic], This weapon will apply a Legendary- level Dispel Magic effect to any enemy it hits.

Weapon Trait: [Anti- Evil], This weapon deals an additional 10 points of Divine Damage to any Evil enemy it strikes.
