Upon hearing the announcement, the gods of the other pantheons couldn't help but show expressions of anticipation.
There are subtle undercurrents surging within both of Jiang Yan's two major factions.
Judging from their performance, Losia, who had been sweeping all the way, was far ahead.
But as the supreme being who has lived the longest since the beginning of time, no one knows if the Grim Reaper has any hidden tricks up his sleeve.
For the two major pantheons, this is a battle that will determine their status under Jiang Yan. Whoever loses will be unable to hold their head high for a long time to come.
Therefore, the two of them went all out almost from the very beginning, far more seriously than when they fought against other pantheons.
The pale red war zone and the dark death zone opened simultaneously.
As the two forces of law clashed, the two simultaneously manifested their true forms, each ten thousand feet tall.
Clang!
The Holy Light Greatsword clashed with the chilling scythe, and the escaping aftershocks easily destroyed the space that had just been restored in all realms. Even the surging void turbulence was obliterated by the two's domains.
"Your Majesty is going to win!" Anna and the others exclaimed with delight.
At present, the two sides seem evenly matched, but it is clear that the Death Domain has no effect on Losia, who has started the "Holy War". If they clash head-on, the Archangel, whose power is constantly increasing, will be able to end the battle in a little while.
"That's not necessarily true. His Majesty the Grim Reaper hasn't used his ultimate move yet."
Sheena was worried, but she didn't back down and retorted.
"Hmph, a death throes." Anna held the holy book and snorted softly.
"The Emperor said not to open champagne halfway through." Without making a sound, Sheena took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, took out a sugar pill and put it in her mouth.
"The Holy Lord also said that he appreciates those who know when to advance and retreat more than those who overestimate their abilities," Analia said calmly.
She spends more than half of her time each day praying and studying the words and deeds of the Lord; how could she be swayed by a mere evil spirit?
"How about we make a bet? If you win, I'll admit that the Holy Light pantheon is more powerful. If Death wins, you can give me the holy book you have, how about that?" Sheena glanced at me with her crimson eyes and suddenly suggested.
"dream!"
Analia instinctively hugged the holy book tighter and sneered, "Give me back the porcelain bottle you're holding."
"And what if you lost?"
"Impossible! Your Majesty will not lose!"
"Ha, those birdmen from Puxin."
"Hmph, treacherous undead."
“...”
As the two clashed, the situation on the field gradually changed.
Under the effect of her passive ability, Loshia's strength increased rapidly, and the power of each of her attacks became increasingly vast.
An attack that could originally be neutralized with a single scythe strike now requires two consecutive swings to barely block.
The area covered by the death zone is being continuously swallowed up.
Clang!
Another dazzling sword light slashed down, and Death had to swing his sword three times to neutralize the sword energy.
"That's enough. Any more and we'll just be getting beaten up."
Death shook his head almost imperceptibly, then retreated hundreds of miles, casually tossing away his weapon. With a crash, the skeleton scattered across the ground, lifeless.
Just as Loshia was about to continue the pursuit, she suddenly froze.
She looked at the ten-thousand-meter-long heavy sword in her hand, frowned in confusion, and casually dispersed her power.
What am I doing, just playing by myself?
The gods outside were all taken aback.
"Huh, why is only Lady Losia inside? Who is her opponent?"
[An error has been detected in the matchmaking system. This bureau...]
"Wait a moment!"
The scattered skeletons reassembled, Death took up his scythe, and reappeared in the void.
He glanced at the archangel, whose power had returned to its initial state, and said calmly, "I've said it before, no one can defeat me. You might as well admit defeat now."
"Unorthodox methods".
Loshia's face darkened, and two heavy swords materialized in her hands. Without hesitation, she slashed at the target again.
"Playing dead... can be used like that?"
As the Grim Reaper resurrected, Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled everything.
To be honest, although it was a bit embarrassing, this was the first time I'd ever seen someone make Loshia, in her holy war state, suffer a setback.
What if I can only play for half an hour?
Just keep repeating that half hour!
Other powerful pantheons who had not yet fought against Death frowned slightly, pondering how to counter this move.
Time passed slowly.
When Death feigned death and resurrected for the 999th time, even the other realms couldn't stand it anymore.
[Due to the influence of certain abilities, a temporary rule has been added: If the two sides cannot determine a winner within 10 days, the match will be considered a draw, with each side earning one point.]
Match 312 ended in a draw.
Two figures were teleported out.
Losia's eyes were filled with rage; if it weren't for the Holy Lord being there, she would have drawn her sword and attacked him directly.
Meanwhile, Death seemed much more relaxed. He had seen the same scene countless times throughout the ages.
"Alright, Losia, calm down."
Jiang Yan quickly spoke up to stop them, fearing that the two would start fighting again.
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiya reluctantly withdrew her power, bowed respectfully, and retreated to Jiang Yan's side.
[Match 313, Wind God vs. Titan God.]
As the notification from all realms sounded once again, many gods breathed a sigh of relief. They were truly afraid that they would be matched against the mentally unstable Losia in the next round.
The thought of that scene sends chills down my spine.
...
Six months later.
Despite the fact that time has been accelerated in the 90th layer of space by all realms, the complete elimination rounds of the True God War will require a total of 5,640 matches, and we are not even halfway through yet.
Looking at their record, Loshia has one draw and all other wins.
Death God had four draws and won all the others.
Including the points from the first two rounds, they have already secured the top two spots.
During this time, Jiang Yan was not completely idle. Instead, he hatched another batch of angels and had the previous angel legion take them to various abyss passages to level up.
At the same time, they arranged for the missionaries to deepen the faith of believers within their respective territories.
Occasionally, Li Miaolin would be teleported over to watch the games together.
Alternatively, restrict Anna and the others from using all divine magic, and allow them to engage in sparring battles while maintaining their lower-level god-like power.
With the opponent hesitant to attack, they successfully achieved a record of 20 wins out of 20 battles.
However, the peaceful days came to an end in the 3011th round of the competition.
An irresistible force suddenly descended, freezing the entire ninety-story space, including the God of Time.
—Clearly, only the realms can do this.
"What happened?" Jiang Yan asked, frowning slightly.
"Lord Jiang Yan, the Abyss's disguise has fooled everyone. It has weakened its invasion of various planes, making us mistakenly believe that it has been temporarily sealed by the Tower of Gods."
"What about in reality?" Jiang Yan's heart sank.
"Taking advantage of the fact that the gods were unable to extricate themselves while the main quest 'The Conflict of Sequences' was underway across the realms, it traveled to the ancient, sealed land, intending to destroy the seals of the realms and release some terrifying beings."
"A terrifying existence?"
“Some of the experiments created to resist the Abyss escaped control and became the second greatest threat after the Abyss. The realms had to dedicate a portion of their power to seal them away forever.”
"What exactly is it?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"In that sealed history, they were called..."
"Insect plague and machine plague."
