Under the terrified gazes of the five intruders, Gabriel's aura instantly surged to its peak. A divine might at the peak of the Creator God level poured out like a tidal wave, overwhelming the five men like Mount Tai, causing them to kneel down on the ground.
The five people, who were already gripped by fear, now felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their hearts pounding in their chests. They had thought that there might be a late-stage Creator God on the island, but they never expected that Gabriel in front of them was a genuine peak Creator God. This made them feel not only fear, but also deep regret and self-blame for blindly entering this place.
Large beads of sweat dripped from the bald, burly man's forehead, his mind reeling: "This...how is this possible? We actually provoked such a terrifying being? Why did we trespass on this mysterious island where even a peak-level creator god exists?"
Swu's pupils contracted sharply. He struggled to suppress the tremor in his heart, but his thoughts were a jumbled mess: "My confidence and arrogance have led me into such a perilous situation. Is this the price I pay for recklessly provoking the unknown?"
Huanhun's beautiful face was now filled with fear. She sighed inwardly, "I thought I could dominate this sea with my own strength, but I never expected to encounter an invincible being today. Today's experience will surely become the most painful lesson of my life. Alas, I don't know if I will survive this ordeal."
The two early-stage Creator God powerhouses, who had not yet expressed their stance, were equally shocked. They closed their eyes in anguish, unable to face the reality before them: "What have we done to deserve this? How dare we covet such a terrifying sphere of influence? If we had known this earlier, we would never have set foot on this mysterious island."
At this moment, the fear in the five people's hearts had reached its peak. They deeply felt their own insignificance and powerlessness. Their awe of the Heart of the Divine Isle and their despair for the future intertwined, forming a vivid picture of terror. Gabriel's suffocating divine power was like a mirror, reflecting their inner weakness and blind ambition.
......
Faced with the fear and despair of the five intruders, Gabriel remained indifferent, as if everything was within her expectations. She gently raised her hand, and in an instant, the incomparably holy power of light condensed into a dazzling rope of light, swiftly binding the five people and immobilizing them.
Then, Gabriel calmly activated a portal and stepped inside. The portal gradually blurred until it disappeared completely, leaving only a lingering light and shadow imprint in the air.
"Phew—" After Gabriel left, the oppressive atmosphere finally eased. The five Creator God invaders breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Although their bodies were still tightly bound by the light ropes, they had at least temporarily escaped the oppressive force that was pressing down on their souls.
However, the brief respite did not bring true peace. On the contrary, with the crisis temporarily averted, an unspeakable awkwardness and anger began to fester among the five.
First, the bald, burly man glared at his bound hands and feet and angrily accused, "Swu, if you hadn't suggested coming here, how would we have encountered such a monster! How accurate are your sources?"
Upon hearing this, Siwu retorted without backing down, "Don't forget, the decision to act was made by all of us, and none of us knew that there would be a powerful being at the peak of the Creator God here. Are you singled out to criticize me?"
The other two invaders, the creator gods, also joined the argument, doing so primarily to vent their deep-seated fear and anxiety. Faced with such a powerful enemy, they desperately needed an outlet, even though this method couldn't truly solve the problem.
Huanhun remained silent, knowing full well that they were likely doomed this time, and that it was better to conserve her strength. More importantly, she couldn't allow herself to appear pathetic in this critical moment; after all, dignity was of paramount importance to her.
......
Meanwhile, at the top of the World Tree, Chen Ping looked at Gabriel as she walked out of the portal and praised her with a smile: "Gabriel, you did a great job this time. Thank you for your hard work."
Upon hearing this, Gabriel waved her hand gently and replied with a smile, "This is hardly hard work. You're just teasing me, haha."
After a brief pause, she continued her report: "I have used the power of light to bind all five of them. Now we need to decide where to place them, or whether to take them directly to the dungeon?"
Upon hearing the word "dungeon," Chen Ping looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Dungeon? When did the Heart of the Divine Island build a dungeon? How come I didn't know?"
Gabriel blinked, looking somewhat puzzled, and replied, "Really? I remember places like Heaven have dungeons."
Chen Ping raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? Is that so?"
Gabriel responded playfully, "Hmm~ No?"
The two continued their back-and-forth, repeatedly confirming their points, leaving Qiuqiu speechless after overhearing their conversation. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Qiuqiu interrupted their endless chatter and offered a solution: "Stop discussing this. The Heart of the Divine Island really doesn't have a dungeon. Let's just leave those five people on the island for now; they won't die anytime soon anyway."
After hearing Qiuqiu's interruption, Chen Ping and Gabriel exchanged a smile, realizing that they had ignored Qiuqiu's presence in their previous conversation, and felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Ping smiled slightly embarrassedly and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Qiuqiu is right, let's proceed with this plan."
Gabriel blinked shyly, a blush spreading across her cheeks. It was truly... well, she hadn't broken the habit of spending time alone with him before, and it was incredibly awkward.
Ballball rolled its eyes speechlessly—yes, it really did—and then looked at the battlefield outside the Heart of the Divine Island. It kept a close eye on its people, fearing any casualties.
Fortunately, so far there have been no casualties. They have medicine, medical care, and their equipment and weapons are all divine artifacts, which are far beyond the capabilities of those rabble.
The battle is nearing its end. Soon, the invaders will all be cut down and thrown into the sea. The entire ocean has been stained red with blood. The sea creatures on the seabed are showing off, enjoying a buffet.
Now, the invaders have begun to scatter in all directions. Basically, Ela and the others will not chase after any of the invaders who have escaped, as their mission is, after all, to protect the heart of the island.
Half an hour later, Ela led her people to start cleaning up the battlefield. Although they generally looked down on these things, they wondered if they might contain island resources that the Heart of the Divine Island didn't have.
