In the dark Void, Lancelot and the other three True God surrounded the target fleet, unleashing their Divine Realm that pressed down upon it.

Ares, the Lord of Ares, held the Nirvana Tower in his hands. The dark vortex slowly rotated, and countless alchemical warriors, like a torrent, surged forth, rapidly weaving through and surrounding the battlefield with the help of the spatial channels released by the Nirvana Tower.

The scale and intensity of War Domain are directly influenced by the quantity and quality of soldiers.

Due to the short duration, the number of Demigod warriors within the Nirvana Tower is very small, elite units are extremely rare, and there are no leader units at all. The massive legion released now mainly consists of Legendary and Epic warriors.

In terms of quantity, it's barely acceptable. However, given the average quality, the increase in the War Domain isn't significant. Without Logo mobilizing the power of the Golden Divine Kingdom for long-distance support, the strength of his War Domain is roughly equivalent to the Divine Realm power released by Leanna and Bel'Veth.

"You are surrounded. You are outnumbered four to one. There is no chance of winning this battle. You would be better off surrendering. We will treat you well and will never humiliate you!"

Feeling confident of having the upper hand and victory in hand, Leanna appeared quite composed. Instead of rushing to eliminate the True God from the Eight Gods' Realm, she first attempted to recruit him. If she could truly persuade the True God of the Eight Gods' Realm to join her side, the boost to her morale would be unimaginable, and it would also serve as a wake-up call to the Eight Gods' Realm.

Lancelot did not comment further on this, offering no other opinions.

He and Ares participated in this operation to set an example for other armed groups. As long as they participated in the battle, they would have completed their mission and wouldn't have taken Alpha Civilization's reward for nothing. Whether or not they relinquished command of the operation to Leanna was not important.

"My God, four True God! We're doomed!"

"Damn it, our operation plan has been leaked! There's a mole among us!"

Upon realizing they were surrounded by four True God, the morale of the raiding fleet sent by the Eight Gods' Realm plummeted. Some warships even turned around and frantically tried to break out, completely ignoring orders from above.

This is the difference between armed forces and civilized troops. They are far inferior in discipline. They may be able to fight well when things are going smoothly, but they often lack resilience and have limited ability to withstand pressure when faced with adversity.

However, Lancelot frowned upon seeing this scene. He knew, of course, that the quality of the troops under the armed organization was always uneven, but under normal circumstances, the troops that could be sent behind enemy lines to carry out the mission of cutting off the supply lines should at least be elite. The fact that a large-scale rout occurred at the very beginning of the battle was really not quite right.

Armed forces are generally inferior to civilized forces, but their elite units should not be underestimated; they should not be performing at the level they are currently displaying.

"There's a problem..."

With a sudden thought, the particles within Lancelot's body spun and rearranged, transforming into a nimble little snake. Its scales were covered with Fate runes, and its vertical pupils flickered, as if it were deducing and perceiving something.

A moment later, the nimble little snake suddenly hissed and transmitted a series of blurry images into Lancelot's mind. After browsing through them, he was startled.

"Oh no! Get out of the way! Get away from where you are!"

A mental fluctuation carrying a strong warning signal shot towards Leanna and Bel'Veth, like two sharp cones.

But it was too late; two attacks, far faster than mental fluctuations, erupted from the core of the fleet.

Two streaks of blue-purple lightning, their arcs leaping and intertwining, traversed the dark Void in an instant, piercing through dimensions, leaping back and forth between inner and outer spaces, leaving a stunning trail of light on the vast black backdrop.

Boom! Boom!

In nature, the speed of lightning is comparable only to that of light, and after evolving into Divine Law, it remains a benchmark for speed.

Leanna and Bel'Veth were struck by lightning before they could even react. Under the streak of lightning that swept past, their Divine Realm were torn apart as easily as paper, and then struck the two True God ' physical bodies.

Two screams rang out almost simultaneously. At the same time, the energy aftershocks from the intertwined lightning spread outwards in concentric rings, forcibly connecting the energy cores of Void warships wherever they passed. In the blink of an eye, they were filled with energy and became one.

"Middle God!!"

"There's an ambush!!"

The two True God, severely wounded by the attack, retreated frantically, moving away from the source of danger, and growling through gritted teeth.

"Haha, your Alpha Civilization is truly foolish. You just released a little false information to bait people, and you actually opened your mouths and threw four True God at your door at once!"

Splash!

The water surged and roared, accompanied by a sharp, maniacal laugh. Lancelot suddenly looked up and saw that the dark Void that stretched as far as the eye could see was completely permeated by an endless expanse of water.

Under the influence of Divine Law, countless streams of water transformed into octopus tentacles with suckers, each one comparable to a star, densely packed and Endless, wildly waving and coiling towards the four True God warriors, including him.

In the hazy mist, Lancelot could feel countless indistinct gazes. From all directions, a subtle pulling force made his movements sluggish, and even at the soul level, his thoughts became very slow.

"Middle God specializing in control? Such a powerful water domain most likely belongs to Kanerxi, the Water Demon Lord of the Eight Gods' Realm, True God who grew from a mutated dragon. As for the one wielding lightning, he's most likely one of the Eight Gods, Darian, nicknamed 'Azure Thunder Strike.' His Thunder Divine Law follows an extremely penetrating path, especially adept at attack... One attack, one control, combined with the Lower God who was already commanding the fleet, there's no need to continue this battle; we must withdraw from the battlefield!"

In a flash, Lancelot made his assessment of the battlefield situation.

At this moment, countless octopus tentacles broke through the waves and wrapped around him. Lancelot's expression turned slightly cold. He pressed down hard with his feet, and in an instant, the water around him quickly solidified, transforming into a landmass that continued to extend outward.

Under the suppression of the earth, the octopus tentacles disintegrated, and the surging power of the water was temporarily suppressed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lancelot transformed into a golden light, broke through space in the blink of an eye, and arrived behind Leanna and Bel'Veth.

At this moment, both were completely enveloped by the power of the water, transforming into a gigantic water sphere with crackling electric arcs inside, exuding a sense of utter Destruction.

Lancelot moved behind Leanna and the other person, which meant he had voluntarily entered the Watery Thunder Sphere.

Seeing this, the Water Demon Lord Kanerxi couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Walking right into our trap, your Golden Divine Kingdom is truly loyal to the Alpha Civilization!"

"Hmph, a mere newly ascended God Level force dares to provoke our Eight Gods' Realm! Today, I'll kill you all first, and in the future, the Golden Divine Kingdom will also be reduced to nothing under my annihilating lightning!" Azure Thunderbolt Darian appeared, his scaled claws crackling with lightning. As he spoke, a sea of lightning was spewed out by him, stirring up endless waves in the Waters Divine Realm.
