A huge blue hand suddenly pierced the calmness of Pacific Ocean, and with a destructive momentum, it began to tear apart the magic circle shrouded in the periphery of the earth crazily.
Immediately afterwards, following the movement of the giant hand, a huge blue head and a majestic upper body slowly emerged from the water.
At the same time, Ian had a look of shock on his face. He always thought that Jehovah was hiding in some independent extra-dimensional space, so he set up this layer of magic defense around the earth in order to prevent or at least delay the other party and buy time for himself to plunder the population.
But he never expected that this guy would be hiding at the bottom of the deep sea.
This was an oversight on his part.
But to be honest, this can't be entirely his fault. The main reason is that the psychological shadow left behind when he first tried to explore the deep sea was too heavy.
Ian knows very well that the resources contained in the deep sea are no less than those in space.
Therefore, in the early days of the establishment of the Empire, he sent an expedition team deep into the seabed, trying to solve the mysteries of the ocean, search for natural resources, and explore what kind of life forms lived there.
Unfortunately, he soon deeply regretted this decision.
Under that Abyss, he discovered some extremely terrifying and indescribable things similar to the style of "Cthulhu".
Just looking at that kind of creature almost drove him, who had a special soul, into madness.
In the end, he had to delete that memory of his and classified this information as Empire's top secret.
To this day, all exploration plans for the deep sea have been shelved for the Infinity period.
He even formulated an emergency plan to evacuate the planet as soon as those things appeared from the bottom of the sea.
Because of this almost paranoid caution, and because Merlin had assured him that these creatures were here for a reason and would never leave the ocean or attack land, he felt a little more at ease.
Of course, Merlin also warned him that if he wanted to understand their origin and nature, he could only explore them by himself.
At that time, Ian was just a Third Tier wizard. Later, after he was promoted to Fifth Tier in the world of <Fullmetal Alchemist>, he tried to face those scenes directly through memory recall. The result was the same - although he persisted for a longer time, the fear did not diminish.
Because of this, the ocean has become a forbidden place in his heart.
Ian quickly gathered his thoughts, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and ordered Morgana to speed up.
Under his control, the magic circle that originally covered the earth began to Transfiguration, and instead surrounded the blue Giant rising from the sea.
"Who dares to interfere with my plan for mankind?"
After Jehovah manifested his true form, his heart was filled with anger.
He originally planned to wait for several thousand more years to guide humans to develop parallel dimension technology on their own, which would help him take a further step on the road to becoming a god.
Or at least, use humans to help him find those extraterrestrial civilizations that have mastered this technology.
Jehovah stared at Ian with its huge eyes, and roared like thunder, "Alien warlocks? I thought I had cleared away people like you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying coercion burst out from his body.
In an instant, Ian felt it was difficult to breathe. The blood in his blood vessels seemed to have solidified, and the flow rate dropped sharply. Even thinking and moving became extremely difficult.
Luck What's more, this is not the first time he has encountered this kind of situation, and he has been prepared for it.
A gray shield appeared out of thin air, protecting him within it and restoring his ability to move.
"Is this the suppression of the personality of higher life forms?"
Gods and mortals are two completely different species, representing two completely different levels of life.
The mere existence of gods is enough to make mortals collapse, become weak, and even lose the will to resist.
However, the reason why Ian was suppressed was not only because of the gap in life levels, but the main reason was that the gap in levels was too large.
The moment Jehovah appeared, Ian's "Cosmic Perception" talent was automatically triggered, instantly gaining insight into the opponent's information:
[Jehovah, Divinity creatures, seriously injured Tenth Tier Cosmic God: Currently only Ninth Tier can exert its strength.]
Seeing this message, Ian immediately realized that he had overlooked another key point.
On the road to becoming a god, if you want to advance to a higher level, you need a massive amount of Faith Power.
For example, if you want to become a Ninth Tier god, you need to conquer at least an entire galaxy and have more than 95% of the intelligent life in the galaxy believe in him.
Moreover, this is based on the premise that the population base of the galaxy is large enough.
However, the gods on earth seem to be ridiculously powerful. Even a small god like Doros had Sixth Tier in his heyday.
It stands to reason that for a small planet like the Earth, its Faith Power is simply not enough to give birth to so many powerful gods.
There must be some unknown secret hidden behind this.
"Master, all the people on Earth have teleported into the city. Do we want to retreat?"
The figure of Morgana suddenly appeared next to Ian, interrupting his meditation.
"No," Ian's eyes flashed with fighting intent, "Let Floating City and everyone get ready for battle."
"Ah?" Morgana was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal and nodded.
If it were the previous Ian, he would definitely run away without hesitation in the face of such a powerful enemy after having achieved his goal.
But the knowledge he learned from Solomon made him understand that he must be prepared for future encounters.
More importantly, he wanted to test the limits of Floating City.
According to previously collected data and analysis, Floating City is defined as a "Ninth Tier weapon". But it has never been used against a real Ninth Tier opponent in actual combat, and now is an excellent testing opportunity.
Ian's figure disappeared instantly.
When he appeared again, a majestic giant city was already suspended in mid-air, confronting the huge Jehovah in the distance.
It wasn't until this moment that he truly saw the other person's whole face.
Jehovah is at least five thousand kilometers tall. His blue skin exudes a noble aura, and the golden robe he wears adds a sense of sanctity.
There is a gem inlaid on his forehead that looks like a third eye.
Ian looked at his opponent solemnly and asked through Soul Link: "Morgana, are everything ready?"
"Yes, boss."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ian felt a vast amount of mana pouring into his meridians instantly.
He couldn't help but groan, the power was so huge that it even made him feel a little unbearable.
Despite this, there was still a flash of fanaticism in his eyes - he felt more powerful than ever before. No, it was an unstoppable feeling.
With such majestic magic power, Ian feels that there is nothing in this world that he cannot do, and there is nothing that he cannot create or destroy.
He immediately cast the "Mechanical Mind Charm" spell to forcibly eliminate these distracting thoughts.
He knew very well that this illusion of omnipotence was just a side effect of the rapid expansion of power.
If he really believes in this feeling and becomes blind and arrogant, then this battle will be his death.
At the same time, Jehovah looked at Floating City in front of him, and his expression became serious.
He could feel that the city contained extremely high density of pure mana. What made him even more wary was that there seemed to be something hidden in the city that could pose a threat to him.
So, he put away his contempt.
As a wise god, he will never take his opponents lightly just because they seem weak.
What's more, over the years, he has witnessed with his own eyes how humans have developed weapons that can kill low-level gods.
Jehovah slowly raised his hand and cast a Divine Arts.
Divine Arts: Judgment.
An extremely dazzling light instantly enveloped Floating City, trying to forcibly destroy its protective shield.
Just a few seconds after the attack hit, cracks appeared on the protective shield.
Ian's face became even more gloomy.
Floating City's shield is composed of "Void Energy", and he was full of confidence in this.
But now he realized that he seemed to have overestimated its defense power, or in other words, overestimated his ability to use Void Energy.
After all, his understanding and use of Void Energy is still at a very primitive stage.
In the face of absolute power, even the most advanced forms of energy may be broken.
On the other side, Jehovah was no less surprised than Ian.
The power of his casual blow has reached the threshold of Tenth Tier, which is enough to destroy a single universe in an instant.
In addition, he concentrated his power completely on one point. It stands to reason that this blow should not only shatter the shield, but also evaporate everyone and everything inside instantly.
"Things get complicated."
Jehovah thought to himself. While he was still seriously injured, the number of Tenth Tier attacks he could use was extremely limited.
