Chapter 709 - 707: Your God Is Gone

Now it’s the third wave, three Magic Puppets.

But when they appeared, Rose silently weakened their strength infinitely, equivalent to giving them a full attribute -50% debuff. In this situation, Guit surely couldn’t lose.

When the three Magic Puppets were all destroyed, Guit frowned and looked at You Jelieya and the other.

He always felt that this journey had been a bit too smooth.

Originally, there was no plan to fight head-on, but... the target’s fragility was unexpected, he always felt that someone was secretly helping.

"It doesn’t seem like it’s the person behind these two, their actions aren’t feigned, so who could it be?"

"Could it be another God?"

Guit had this thought, his mind tightened involuntarily.

He began observing the surroundings, trying to find anything unusual.

He actually found something.

When the fourth wave of Magic Puppets emerged, he noticed that along with the appearance of the Puppets, there were subtle fluctuations emitted by the underground Array here.

He couldn’t determine whether the fluctuations emitted by the Array were related to the weakening of the Magic Puppets, maybe they were just naturally like this.

Guit remained composed, not speaking, keeping his doubts in his heart, still seriously dealing with the emerged four Magic Puppets.

He also wanted to know, how many of these Magic Puppets were there.

Thus, until the fifth wave of five Magic Puppets ended, Guit’s Undying Enchantment duration ended.

At this time, the space fluctuated again.

Guit inserted his greatsword into the ground, looking at You Jelieya and the other two, who were exhausted long ago.

"I’ve already reached my limit, it’s unfortunate, but I have to leave."

"You..."

As Ze Lishalin was about to say something, You Jelieya raised a hand to stop her, looked at Guit, and said calmly, "If you’re leaving, then leave, the time... is almost up."

In fact, the battle had already lasted a long time.

High-level battles don’t end that easily, especially when facing these sturdy Magic Puppets.

It was fine at first, but subsequently facing multiple enemies, even in a weakened state, was not so easy to kill because they would cooperate in battle.

Five times, which was already the limit.

Guit said, "To tell you the truth, I’m here to help you only to collect things related to that Evil God. Now, I’ve collected more than enough and I should go. I’ve fulfilled what I promised you, and you don’t need to keep guarding here."

After speaking, Guit put away the Magic Puppet and walked towards the outside.

"Thank you," You Jelieya’s voice came.

Guit waved his hand without turning back, "You are too hasty... Good luck to you."

Guit left, and only then did You Jelieya and the others look at the slowly emerging six Magic Puppets.

The strong aura they emitted made them realize that it’s impossible to defeat them with their already exhausted selves.

Ze Lishalin let out a bitter smile.

"You, it seems the Gods really have a problem..."

"Hmm."

You Jelieya’s face showed an expression of unwillingness.

"Prepared for so long, did so many things, and in the end..."

"Why did it turn out like this?" Ze Lishalin looked bewildered.

"Let’s go," You Jelieya remained silent for a moment and said, "There’s no point in staying here any longer. Leaving here, we still have a chance."

"Do we really have to leave?"

"...We can’t just wait here for news from the Gods, can we? We don’t have the ability to resist these Magic Puppets. Staying here would only mean death."

Ze Lishalin was about to say something, but her expression suddenly changed, and she let out a bitter smile.

"Maybe we can’t leave now."

You Jelieya also looked at the emerging six Magic Puppets.

"Then fight!"

...

"Fighting a battle with a zero chance of victory won’t earn admiration, it will only make people think it’s foolish."

Rose coldly looked at the two people in front of him.

For those who are the culprits of causing disaster, he would have no mercy. However, letting these two die here at the hands of the Zodiac Demon Puppets would be somewhat lenient on them.

So...

Rose looked at the Divine Format Fragment that served as the cornerstone, slightly narrowing his eyes.

"If I recall correctly, the consciousness of a God can project onto the Divine Format and can also control some abilities of the Divine Format."

In the Sealed Land, Rose carried Haroldias into the first Divine Hall that Ethel had completed building, placing him on a chair.

"Then, do as I say."

Haroldias fell silent for a moment and said coldly, "Rose, you are a demon."

"Thanks for the compliment," Rose didn’t care.

In the core of the Array underground in the Elf Forest.

Haroldias’s two followers braced themselves to face the Magic Puppet.

However, even weakened Magic Puppets can easily overpower them with numbers, not to mention that these Magic Puppets, although weakened, are genuinely at the seventh tier.

It wasn’t long before the two’s Magic Puppets were damaged, and they were also knocked to the ground.

Looking at the group of Magic Puppets diving down from the sky, ready to give them a fatal blow, You Jelieya sighed, images of the past flashed in his eyes.

Just as he was ready to face death, he saw among their disassembled Magic Puppets, the Heart of the Magic Puppet suddenly floated out and resonated with the Divine Format Fragment that served as the cornerstone.

Afterwards, the two Divine Format Fragments, serving as the Hearts of the Magic Puppets, flew to them, and they felt a powerful force enveloping them.

Their eyes brightened.

"It’s the power of the Gods!"

"The Gods have responded to us!"

"That’s great!"

They grew excited, quickly dodged the Magic Puppet’s attacks, and began counterattacking.

The sixth wave, the seventh wave... all the way to the twelfth wave!

The power from the Divine Format continuously surged into their bodies, giving them the strength to suppress the God King Puppet.

When the twelfth wave ended and there were no more space fluctuations, and no more enemies appeared, they came back to their senses from the intense battle, bewildered as they looked around.

All around were filled with the remnants of Magic Puppets, large amounts of debris submerged the patterns on the ground, with some debris still emitting a faint light, that was the Divine Format Fragments serving as the Hearts of the Magic Puppets shining.

The power from the Gods quickly disappeared, their bodies softened, collapsing on the ground as they looked at each other.

"Finally... is it over?"

"It’s over."

They both showed smiles, albeit with some dissatisfaction.

They could feel that using the power of the Gods came at a price, quickly depleting their own strength, like burning their potential, causing their tiers to fall.

This was a consequence they had never considered before.

However, after confirming that the Gods were not in trouble and could still provide them support, they found this consequence somewhat acceptable.

As Divine Followers, they could receive gifts from the Gods, and when the time comes, their tier could be raised as they pleased, right?

"As long as the Gods are still present, everything will be fine."

Just as they were beginning to relax a little, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"A God awakened by causing disasters, how is that different from an Evil God? No, it’s even more detestable than the Evil God, that’s why your God is no more."

Out of the shadows, Hilia’s figure slowly emerged.

She looked at the two, her voice calm, "Following the divine will, I will judge you."
