A battle they did not think they could lose
Meanwhile, in the Spirit Realm, ' Lai ' calculated the time and asked the Lord of Radiance to help her pack up the Sun Block first.
In the Spirit Realm, you can't move Block by brute force. You either need to use the Spirit Realm lord's exclusive ability or use a special packaging method to turn them into small, movable objects.
Without any hesitation, the light sphere transformed the solar Block that ' Lai ' had never been to into a small Miniature Model.
"This packaging method requires the block to be fully expanded in order to be considered as having moved the Block."
"This is equivalent to giving this Block a new coordinate, allowing it to move directly to that Block."
"And this has an expiration date, about 24 hours, after which you have to use this packaged Block."
' Lai ' nodded, indicating that he understood.
There's no problem doing it now, because she already has a strange premonition that something bad is about to happen to the Number Three Floating City.
It's even possible that something has already happened, but the news hasn't reached Number Nine Floating City yet.
The Lord of Radiance's orb suddenly paused, then said with a tone of surprise:
"Wait, Fran, it seems you can act now. The Gods have done something, and their Divine Power is somewhat depleted."
"If you move your realm now, the God of War and the other Deity will be unable to attack you, and you will only need to deal with their followers."
' Lai ' raised an eyebrow, not in a hurry to act, but instead moved his body from the Number Nine Floating City onto the street.
Finally, after about five minutes, Number Nine Floating City also went into alert mode. The airships stopped entering the port, and broadcasts began.
"A key unit of the Alliance has been attacked and is now on full alert. All mages, please prepare accordingly."
Fran had been waiting for this. If something happened to the Number Three Floating City, it wouldn't just be a matter for the Number Three Floating City; it would be a matter for the entire the Alliance.
She took flight, surveyed her surroundings, and, after confirming that the area around Number Nine Floating City had not been attacked, she knew she could proceed.
In the Spirit Realm, the Lord of Radiance kept urging ' Lai ' after receiving the news, but ' Lai ' only smiled faintly:
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, you don't need to urge me."
With that, ' Lai ' strode off, carrying the packaged Block model, toward the designated direction. There, she only needed to teleport through certain locations to reach the Sun Domain, which had been prepared long ago.
The orb of light fell silent because of ' Lai's' words, not because the Lord of Radiance was gone, but because she was frightened by ' Lai's' words.
"She knew all along that everything was going to happen?"
"This is impossible! Even Fifth Order Gods Legendary's Prophecy Spell shouldn't be able to predict so many things happening in the Astral Realm so clearly."
"But how did she find out? It wasn't through my channels, otherwise I definitely would have known."
"It's not through the Alliance's channels either. This time, the Gods are going to target the Alliance, and I deliberately didn't name names here, just to keep her focused."
"Could it be that she gained the attention of the Stars, the Stars allowed her to witness the scene of the Gods targeting the Alliance..."
The idea had barely crossed his mind when it was rejected by the Lord of Radiance himself.
"How could that be? While the relationship between the Stars and the sun isn't terrible, it's not exactly good either. It's one thing for her to have a connection with the sun, but why would the Stars go after her..."
The orb of light flickered. Although it knew this was impossible, it was still at a loss as to how Fran had known about it.
"It's moved, we have to make our move." Tobias suddenly stood up at the banquet, looking at the two Profession in front of him.
Since the two hired Third Order Professional arrived here, they have both participated in the God of War Sect's pre-battle ceremony— Banquet —in preparation for war.
The banquet lasted for almost twelve hours, and ' Gray Dragon ' Hart acted as if he had never eaten in his past life, barely taking half a minute to eat the meat that was served.
Holden, the "Image of the Void," focused solely on the fine wines, not drinking much but sampling each one. He didn't eat much, but the constant stream of drinks without him actually made him rather torturous.
The two belatedly stood up after Tobias, both with smiles on their faces.
They were laughing for two reasons: first, they could participate in the battle, which would double their final reward.
Secondly, their attendance at this pre-war banquet wasn't for nothing.
Tobias raised the Golden Longsword, tip down, hilt above his head, and brought it close to his lips, Tobias it.
The wine glasses and plates, still bearing food scraps from the banquet, emitted a blood-red light that shone on the longsword in Tobias's hand, spreading red across its surface.
The red crack was widening, but it stopped halfway through, and the tip of the sword turned completely red, like a ruby.
Then, the area from the blade to the hilt was still covered by the original golden color.
"Unfortunately, time is a bit tight. If we had been given a three-day banquet, we might have been able to complete this Divine Weapon directly."
Then, Tobias held his longsword high in the sky, the tip of the sword reflecting a deep red, which then stained the heads of Hart and Holden with a crimson hue.
"Praise be to the God of War, your might will surely make the journey of the well-fed warriors worthwhile..."
This pre-battle banquet can provide additional divine Divine Grace to the followers of the God of War, and also give non-believers some boosts in strength.
This power refers not only to physical strength, but to everything including Arts, physique, and will; the God of War will increase all of these.
"Indeed, it's time to show that Proxy what you shouldn't mess with."
Holden said with a smile that he knew the God of War wouldn't casually attack his Deity believers, and if he did, it meant that they had indeed crossed the God of War's bottom line.
"Now you can tell us which Proxy it is, right?" Hart asked.
Before this, no matter how they asked, Tobias would simply wave his hand and say that such information needed to be kept secret, and he wouldn't tell them unless a battle occurred.
Tobias hesitated for a moment, then said directly:
"It's a name you should have heard of, Lord of Radiance."
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the understanding in each other's eyes. After all, the Lord of Radiance's act of robbing the market was far too blatant, and these two, being Profession from the Spirit Realm, were certainly aware of it.
' Gray Dragon ' Hart clearly has a deeper understanding of the title of Lord of Radiance.
"What a coincidence!" Hart has a rather unruly child who once participated in a Spirit Realm Trial but failed. How could his child fail in such Trial?!
Therefore, Hart distanced himself from the child and became indifferent to him. However, after news spread that the Lord of Radiance had seized the Spirit Realm Market, his child brought Hart a different message.
It turns out that this Astral Realm being appeared during its Promotion Trial. At that time, it seems that a follower of this Deity took control of the city through various means.
Hart was very interested in this and later wanted to find the Lord of Radiance to see if he could find any opportunities.
However, the Lord of Radiance had a bad reputation, which He Himself was aware of, so He wouldn't associate with all sorts of people, and thus Hart gained nothing.
This time, they happened to run into the Lord of Radiance, and what they encountered was the Lord's Proxy.
"Then I can probably save face for my child," Hart thought to himself, raising an eyebrow.
The believer his child encountered at the time was likely Proxy of this Deity.
The power of the Deity is truly immense. The fact that this Proxy was able to enter the Promotion Trial means that at that time, he was at most at the First Order. The Spirit Realm would never allow him to enter at the second level or above. This was discovered by the mages through trial and research.
However, less than two years later, this Proxy had grown to the point that Tobias had to bring two Tier 3 Mercenary before he dared to go.
How many years has it been? And it's already reached the third tier!!
Thinking of this, Hart even showed a hint of excitement. It had taken him more than two hundred years to advance to the third rank in the Spirit Realm Spirit Realm, constantly fighting his way up to his current Order.
And that Proxy advanced to the third tier in less than one percent of his time?!
"However, advancing to the third rank so quickly suggests that her foundational Arts and physical conditioning are probably insufficient..."
"It seems this is going to be a one-sided battle."
Hart thought conceitedly.
Tobias hesitated for a moment, then revealed another piece of information about ' Lai ' before setting off.
"You need to be aware that the abilities of the Proxy different Deity vary greatly, but they are all related to the Deity."
"Even if a Deity Proxy at different times, they will have different abilities. The Proxy recorded by the God of War Sect also have slightly different abilities."
"So you'd better not try to emulate the abilities of the Proxy you've seen before."
The two did not refute, but nodded slightly.
"Alright, let's go. We might as well just wait for her at our destination."
With that, Tobias plunged the sword tip downwards into the floor, and a crisp shattering sound was heard, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
They fell, lost weight, and finally landed on a patch of scorched Red Land.
"She hasn't arrived yet..." Hart looked around, sensing something was very wrong with his surroundings.
"We've arrived." Holden looked at the ripples in the distance, and a humanoid creature glowing red suddenly appeared there, holding something with strange fluctuations in its hand.
