Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment the abyssal monster army emerged from the valley, the nearest dozens of magic circles simultaneously rippled violently.

Flames, storms, ice crystals, spikes...

The chaotic magical elements converged into a torrent, instantly engulfing tens of thousands of low-level monsters.

For decades, the daily task of all the mages on the mainland has been to set up, upgrade, and reinforce the magic array here.

With Jiang Yan's selfless granting of access to learn various high-level formations, the power of these magic formations is no longer what one would expect from a lower-level plane.

Even a demigod-level "Abyssal Terror Beast" had half of its body blasted away in an instant.

Suddenly, the commander of the Abyss Legion even doubted that he had come to the wrong place. Could this be the place where the gods reside?

However, this time the Abyss Commander is clearly not a mindless, reckless individual.

After surveying the battlefield, the ram-headed, strange demon god quickly ordered a change in formation:

"The monstrous demon god manifests, clearing the way at the front. The main army follows, maintaining distance."

In an instant, dozens of monsters resembling behemoths roared to the sky, their bodies growing ten thousand times larger in an instant.

They charged headlong into the endless magical traps like bulldozers.

A series of violent magical elements erupted, and in the fierce explosion, crimson flesh and blood flew everywhere.

However, the regenerative ability of the strange demon god ranks among the top three of all creatures. Almost the instant the flesh and blood are blown away, new flesh and blood begin to grow from the wound.

The hundreds of magic arrays broke under their trampling, their radiance dimmed, and they lost their energy fluctuations.

After all, as a small plane, limited by materials and strength, it is still too difficult to create a large number of magic arrays that can deal with lower-level demon gods.

Even in Holy Spirit City, rare materials need to be used more on the front lines of the battlefield.

Meanwhile, on the city wall tens of thousands of miles away, the war commander, watching the constantly destroyed magic circle through monitoring magic, suddenly changed his expression.

"How could so many demons appear all at once! More than in the most recent simulated war!"

He quickly bowed behind him and pleaded:

"Holy Lord above. Gods, please intervene and stop these demons. If these magic arrays are destroyed meaninglessly like this, the defensive pressure on Zhenyuan Pass will increase greatly."

"Don't worry, leave the Demon God to us."

As they spoke, a group of gods flew forward, their divine senses locking onto the distant abyss demon god.

They reached out and took out a gleaming scroll, then tore it open.

In an instant, a complex square crystal phantom condensed in the void. As it moved, two beams of light swept across, and the gods of the Holy Light pantheon and the demon god of the abyss vanished simultaneously.

One-time use spatial magic scroll - infinite restart.

This is a powerful divine spell created by the Space God Lord Helenzor, who is known as a little genius, during his endless years of wandering.

The effect is to temporarily pull an opponent into the duel space, and every time the opponent is changed, everything in the space will be reset to its initial state.

This divine technique was used once during the siege of the Great World of Time by the Allied Forces of the Gods, and achieved remarkable results.

—Indirectly helped Losia complete her training in the War Will and Ascension to Godhood.

The only drawback is that it contains another rule of "fairness," requiring both parties to offer equivalent prizes.

However, after years of continuous research, this only unstable factor has been improved.

It has become a completely new rule: "The Etiquette of Duel".

This rule references Jiang Yan's strongest title skill, "You and I are destined," and incorporates Floria's etiquette rules. Although its upper limit is far less than that of title skills, it is obviously sufficient to deal with these ordinary demon gods.

The goal is to use the least amount of combat power to hold off a stronger enemy.

At this moment, in a special space.

A bizarre, low-level demon god suddenly appeared.

It seemed to be momentarily stunned by the rampage, and with a sneer at the god opposite it whose aura was far inferior to its own, it charged forward.

But the next moment.

The power of spatial laws descended, instantly binding him in the void, rendering him unable to move.

"Rules of this space: Etiquette of duels."

A special wave flowed into both of their minds.

"Before the formal duel begins, strict etiquette and procedures must be followed. First, both contestants must perform the 'greeting ceremony,' as follows (refer to the etiquette guidelines)."

A phantom six-winged angel appeared in the center, gracefully bowing with clasped hands.

The only way for the Holy Light pantheon gods to activate the divine spell scroll was to follow suit and clasp their hands in a respectful gesture.

Meanwhile, the strange demon god on the other side was in a difficult situation.

Although they barely understood the rules, it was too much to ask monsters, who only knew how to charge into battle and kill, to perform a proper salute.

"Your greeting is not proper. Please try again..."

"Your greeting is not proper. Please try again..."

"Roar...I'll eat you...!"

After failing dozens of times in a row, the strange demon god couldn't help but roar in anger, struggling desperately to break free of its restraints, but to no avail.

In the end, it had no choice but to cut off all the excess flesh and blood, and then control the muscles to wriggle and transform into a human shape, which was how it barely passed the test.

"Now we will proceed to the second part, the Sword-Asking Ceremony. Both sides are requested to introduce their weapons and equipment, with reference to the following guidelines."

A video of a showdown at the "Forbidden City" was projected in the void.

"Roar... (This is my own powerful fist, sharp teeth, and hard muscles...)"

The strange demon god resignedly explained.

To its delight, the rules did not make things difficult for it this time and were passed directly.

It immediately revealed a fierce and greedy look in its eyes as it looked at the other side, intending to devour its opponent as soon as the battle began.

But on the other side, the deity of the Holy Light pantheon calmly pointed to the ring on his hand:

"This item, a superior-grade fire magic ring, was obtained in a certain ruin in the year xxx of the Cycle Calendar. It contains..."

"This item is a high-quality water-based magic ring..."

After methodically introducing the twenty magic rings on his ten fingers, he pointed to the armor he was wearing: "This armor was produced on the third production line of Holy Spirit City. Each plate was crafted by a different enchanter. This one was constructed by the enchanter Master Arik, and this one..."

As the other party began to introduce each armor plate from top to bottom, the strange demon god was dumbfounded and roared impatiently on the spot.

Is this guy crazy? Are we still going to fight or not?!

...

Meanwhile, in Holy Spirit City, at the conference center...

Jiang Yan, who was discussing tactics with a group of senior executives, suddenly paused.

A message highlighted in red suddenly appeared before my eyes.

[Final main quest released: Defeat the Abyss.]

[Mission Description: The evil abyss has broken its seal ahead of schedule and is surging wildly towards all realms, intending to destroy everything. Please do your utmost to resist and defeat them.]

[Punishment for mission failure: None.]

[Mission completion reward: Survive.]

"It's finally started. Although it's a bit earlier than expected, apart from my own level breakthrough, all the other preparations are complete... Let's fight!"

A glint of fighting spirit flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes.

He suddenly stood up, his majestic gaze sweeping over the gods of the two major pantheons and the other subjugated deities, while the divine kingdom behind him slowly unfolded.

"Gods, heed my command! Enter the divine realm and prepare for battle!"

"The war has begun."
