"Well? Do you still want to fight?"
Lin Yi stretched lazily, his expression as calm as ever, his unruffled gaze settling on Mie.
At the sight, Mie flew into a rage!
Beneath her mask, her face remained twisted with fury.
Sure enough, everyone holding a Divine Office was a damned bastard!
The next instant, Mie raised her hand and clenched it around empty air. The seven elements immediately condensed into a ribbonlike blade, brimming with murderous intent.
"You gods are beasts in human skin! On the surface, you spread blessings and help people prosper. But in secret, you're devils who enslave humanity and greedily feast on human flesh and blood!"
Mie's voice was loud enough for everyone in both camps to hear.
Those from the Dark Sea all seethed with righteous indignation.
Had they ever actually suffered oppression, exploitation, or manipulation at the hands of the gods?

It had nothing to do with him, and he had neither the leisure nor the obligation to bother with them.
"That exchange confirmed that this leader really is stronger than me. Even the Artifact's buffs aren't enough to help me defeat her."
Lin Yi grew a little more cautious. His buffs had now weakened considerably, so defeating her was out of the question.
Even maintaining an even match would be a struggle.
However, Lin Yi's strength had already intimidated Mie, leaving her reluctant to strike rashly
