The Seed of the Plane did not absorb this power of faith, so Ange could feel the divine power rapidly recovering.
"Thank you!" Ange murmured, her gaze towards Rhodes becoming even more resolute.
Rhodes watched as Ango suddenly regained nearly half of his divine power, and immediately realized it was due to the power of faith. The fact that a chosen one who hadn't yet become a god could absorb the power of faith from the entire continent filled him with intense envy.
He had long considered this plane to be his, and the faith should rightfully belong to him!
Just as Rhodes was about to make a move, a giant nine-tailed fox blocked Ange's path and roared at him, "Heaven and Earth Destroyed!"
Hu Jiu immediately unleashed the innate power of the demonic beast, turning the sky crimson. Following Hu Jiu's attack, Lu Yan and the others also flew up, unleashing their most powerful forces upon Rhodes.
Even Xiao Huo cooperated with Hu Jiu, maximizing the power of Hu Jiu's natal fire.
"you!"
An Ge was completely protected by Hu Jiu, and she looked at them with emotion.
"Manager, don't stop being so kind. Remember to give me a raise after this is over," Lu Yan's irritating voice rang out.
An Ge felt a lump in her throat, but still couldn't resist teasing him, "Can you say it in a more righteous way? Raising salaries is such a downer. Don't worry, we'll give you all a raise when the time comes."
"Little Ge'er, you recover your strength first, it's our turn next." Hu Jiu's voice made An Ge feel particularly at ease.
An Ge nodded; this wasn't the time for sentimentality. "Be careful."
Rhodes felt as if he were in a sea of fire. The power was too great for ordinary forces to resist. He could only keep releasing his divine power to prevent himself from being burned to ashes.
At the same time, various forces followed closely behind, but compared to that devastating flame, these forces were clearly much weaker. Even so, Rhodes felt extremely uncomfortable.
What surprised him even more was that there were two familiar forces among them. Although they were not exactly the same as his own, they were both dark forces.
As Rhodes unleashed his divine power while resisting these forces, he sustained numerous injuries and looked pained. "This is actually your divine servant? I must say, I'm quite envious of you."
His divine servants had broken their contract when he became a god, so it was already difficult for him to maintain a semblance of peace.
"With such a powerful divine servant, I don't know whether you should consider yourself lucky or unlucky. Divine servants, why do you have to work so hard? Once the chosen one ascends, I believe the first thing he will do is to break off our contracts. Why not abandon her now and join my arms?"
Believe me, as long as I am here, even without the Chosen Ones, you will still have a place in the divine realm. Two of your divine servants are even wielding the power of darkness. I am the God of Darkness; it's one thing for you not to believe in me, but to actually oppose me?
"Pah! So what if it's dark power? Did it eat your rice? Don't just jump on any bandwagon of dark power. Aren't you ashamed? Besides, are you a mind reader? You think your divine servants are a threat, but others don't see it that way. My divine servants are powerful, and you can't be envious." An Ge couldn't take it anymore and poked her head out from behind Hu Jiu, unleashing a torrent of abuse.
Hu Jiu helplessly flicked its tail and pushed An Ge behind it.
Rhodes was so angry he almost fainted. This chosen one, setting aside all his other abilities, certainly had a knack for infuriating people. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Ango; even with his abundant divine power, he couldn't withstand such a drain.
"I admit you are very powerful, but your strength is ultimately mortal. Before the gods, it is nothing but a death struggle." After saying this, Rhodes' body surged with black energy, and a black circle centered on himself continued to expand, dissolving all the attacking power.
Hu Jiu and Xiao Huo resisted for only a short while before being repelled by this force. An Ge felt a pang of heartache upon sensing Xiao Huo's weakness in her divine sense.
"Hu Jiu, how are you?"
Hu Jiu transformed into human form, his face somewhat pale. This was already his most powerful move, yet it still wasn't enough? Seeing An Ge's concerned gaze, he shook his head, "I'm fine."
"My power has been restored, it's my turn!" Ange breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the Azure Flame again, and prepared to fight against Rhodes.
Even gods have limited power, and she refused to believe that so many people couldn't exhaust Rhodes's divine power.
Rhodes had clearly seen through Ango's thoughts. He looked somewhat disheveled, his wounds had been healed by divine power, but blood was still flowing from his face, making him look rather frightening.
"Trying to exhaust my divine power? You're dreaming! I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve?"
An Ge smiled brightly, "Then you'd better watch carefully." After saying that, she took the initiative to attack Rhodes.
Rhodes dared not be careless; after several encounters, he was already somewhat intimidated by Ango. Seeing Ango close in, Rhodes did not back down, swinging his staff, intending to eliminate Ango in one fell swoop.
Just as they were about to get close, An Ge shouted, "Everyone, get out of the way!"
The instant An Ge took flight, Lu Yan set up a protective array, and he and Hu Jiu and the others desperately channeled their spiritual energy into it. Meng Xia also took out a protective shield she had purchased from the store, protecting the entire base.
Jiang Shang, who was locked in combat with the black dragon, stopped fighting and ran back to the base as fast as he could to help channel his spiritual energy. Just as the battle was reaching its climax, his opponent suddenly fled, leaving the black dragon looking down in utter confusion.
Rhodes noticed the situation below and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you up to now?"
“Rhodes, we’ve been friends for a long time. I’m not happy to hear you use the word ‘again.’ It makes it sound like I’m some kind of cunning and unpredictable person.”
"Aren't you one of them?" Rhodes felt that his good luck had vanished ever since he met Ango. He wasn't unfamiliar with killing Chosen Ones, but this was the first time he'd encountered one as cunning as Ango!
Just as he was wondering, he saw An Ge take out a small ball of light and throw it at him with force. The moment the ball of light was thrown, An Ge's entire figure disappeared from the spot, and reappeared at the teleportation array in the backyard of the inn.
Before she could even marvel at how useful the teleportation array was for escaping, An Ge rushed to the spatial gate, striving to return to the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Ange disappeared suddenly, and Rhodes couldn't detect any trace of spatial power. Just as he was about to unleash his divine power to search for her, he saw a ball of light hurtling towards him. Even before the ball of light got close, Rhodes could feel the immense energy contained within it—a power that even gods couldn't directly confront.
"What is that?" Because the ball of light did not show any magical energy fluctuations, Rhodes only reacted when it was almost in front of him, but before he could use his divine power, the ball of light was already right in front of him.
A tremendous sound rang out, and the entire continent trembled from the force of the impact. For the first time, everyone felt what it meant to be dizzy and disoriented, as if it were the end of the world.
