The news that one of the Eight Gods, Azure Thunder Darian, had been captured alive by Lancelot quickly reached the Eight Gods' Realm, causing a huge uproar.
Inside a certain war fortress, several powerful figures hovered in mid-air, the atmosphere heavy and tense.
Before them floated a projected image of Lancelot battling Darian.
After a while, the projection finished playing and disappeared in a beam of white light.
"Incredible!"
Water Demon Lord Kanerxi spoke first, his pupils filled with extreme shock, even disbelief.
"It's only been a few years, and his strength has increased to this level? True God Tier Six..."
"Could it be that you sensed something wrong back then, and he deliberately concealed his strength in order to ambush us at a crucial moment?" another Middle God said. His body was like a pile of rocks, and his face had no features, only a huge mouth full of fangs, which was ferocious and terrifying.
Earthquake Tremor Kesuosuo, Middle God in the Eight Gods' Realm, is also one of the Eight Gods. He is stronger than Sky Thunder Darian and Water Demon Lord Kanerxi. He belongs to the True God Tier Five and ranks in the upper-middle range among the Eight Gods.
Normally, if he heard someone questioning him, the proud Water Demon Lord Kanerxi would definitely refute them immediately. But this time, Lancelot's combat power was so shocking that he couldn't help but feel hesitant and insecure.
"Perhaps I'm misperceiving it!"
Kanerxi shook his head and said.
"Alright, regardless of whether Kanerxi sensed something wrong back then, the fact before us now is that Lancelot, the Radiance of Holy Light, has already possessed the combat power of True God Tier Six, which is the peak level of Middle God. Even in my Eight Gods' Realm, besides the King, only I and Kalachi can fight him head-on. Other True God would be in danger if they encountered him."
Lord Broken Blade Roland Stark glanced around and then spoke in a low, somber tone.
Upon hearing this, the other True God fell silent.
They understood that the Broken Blade Lord was right; Lancelot's demonstrated strength would absolutely place him among the top ranks in the universe.
Only the Upper God can reliably suppress it. Even the Broken Blade Lord Roland and the Raging Flame Kalachi, who are both at the peak of the Middle God, can probably only contend with it or have a slight advantage, but defeating it would be extremely difficult.
Just then, another Middle God, Walker Yifurui, suddenly spoke up, her eyes flashing, "Now that we've confirmed that Lancelot is a god of the Matter System, his Divine Body must have a fatal weakness. If we can find this weakness, wouldn't we be able to address it directly and eliminate it effortlessly?"
Upon hearing this, the other True God' eyes lit up, showing considerable interest.
However, Kanerxi, the Water Demon Lord who had fought Lancelot, shook his head and bluntly stated, "It's not that easy! When I fought Lancelot, I couldn't tell that he was a god of the Matter System at all. This means that his Divine Body is extremely adept at transformation Concealment. Generally speaking, even if a similar Divine Body has weaknesses, it is extremely difficult to detect. Or even if it is detected, the difficulty of launching a precise strike is exceptionally high. The cost and effort required will far exceed the threshold that a powerhouse of the same level can withstand."
"If that's the case, then it would be better to just ask Upper God to take action and crush them with absolute power."
The words of the Water Demon Lord Kanerxi were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, plunging the True God present into silence once again.
After a long silence, the Great Earth Kesuosuo finally spoke tentatively, "Perhaps we should ask the King for help?"
"If you make the king handle everything, what are we, his subordinates, supposed to do?" Lord Broken Blade Roland retorted directly. He was a staunch supporter of King Selwyn and had a strong sense of pride. He didn't want to trouble the king to solve problems unless absolutely necessary.
"Then there's nothing we can do. With the combat power of True God Tier Six, and still hiding out, even if Roland has Dimensional Anchor that can seal the Void, it's completely useless," Kesuosuo said bluntly.
The Dimensional Anchor he mentioned was the very anchor that Lord Broken Blade Roland had brought out before the war, originally intended to capture Lancelot and force the Golden Divine Kingdom's ruler, Logo, to submit.
At that time, Lancelot's combat power was only that of Lower God. Now, however, he has directly jumped to a major realm and three minor realms, reaching the peak level of Middle God, making the Dimensional Anchor useless.
Lancelot didn't need to run away at all. As a god of the Matter System, his defensive capabilities were recognized as formidable. He could stand there and withstand attacks from several opponents of the same level for a long time.
run?
Unless Upper God intervenes.
But Lord Roland of Broken Blade didn't want to report to King Selwyn, so there was nothing that could be done.
After another long silence, just as the True God were at a loss as to how to deal with Lancelot's sudden outburst, a pale figure exuding an aura of death suddenly appeared like a ghost.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The True God immediately bowed in respect.
The newcomer was none other than Pale Veil Selwyn, the leader of the Eight Gods' Realm, Upper God, and not just a beginner, but someone who had already traveled quite a distance.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Lord Broken Blade Roland's face was grim, tinged with shame, and he lowered his head slightly.
He and Selwyn had been together since they were young, growing up together. Selwyn treated Roland like a brother and a father, protecting him greatly. Their relationship was extremely deep, and they could trust each other completely.
"Haha, Roland, don't blame yourself. The Astral Realm is magnificent and mysterious, and the world is unpredictable. Anything can happen. Legend has it that an ant once obtained an opportunity and instantly transformed into a dragon. Although Lancelot has shown great strength, there's no need to worry. He's either a true genius, or he was hiding his abilities beforehand, or he's acquired some treasure recently. Whatever the reason, since it has already happened, we should deal with it seriously."
"From now on, I'll take care of dealing with Lancelot. I'll find an opportunity to take him down and rescue Darian. You don't need to worry about him anymore; just focus on the wars in your respective areas."
Pale Veil Selwyn seemed to take it all in stride, taking the initiative to accept the task of dealing with Lancelot, without blaming his subordinates for it.
Hearing Selwyn's words, the True God present were deeply moved. They bowed slightly and said earnestly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will work together to defeat the Alpha Alliance Army!"
"Very good, I believe in you. Keep up the good work and spread the glory of the Eight Gods' Realm."
The hearty laughter gradually faded away, and Selwyn's figure slowly disappeared into the Void.
Lord Roland of the Broken Blade swept his sharp gaze around, clenched his fist, and said, "The King has already taken on the biggest trouble for us. Now it's up to us. If we still can't achieve good results, then let's all sacrifice our souls and atone for our sins with our deaths!"
