"It's him back!"
"Wasn't he sealed in the abyss?! My god, what kind of strength is this?! Lord Lovis is above the highest level... and she can't even withstand a casual sword strike?!"
The gods stared in disbelief at the immeasurable figure in the sky, feeling a chill run through their bodies and their legs trembling uncontrollably.
"That's... the Lord of the Sky Ridge and the Eye of Sin... These are the top supreme beings in the Abyss! I wouldn't stand a chance against them one-on-one, yet they're bound in chains like livestock... The Lord of the Abyss... Jiang Yan has become the Lord of the Abyss, it must be!"
"Isn't he the Lord of Holy Light? How could this be!"
The "Space God Lord," who always held himself in high esteem, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
If he hadn't sensed that the space was sealed off by an incomprehensible and terrifying force, he would have turned and run without a second thought.
"Forget about him, look behind him, isn't that a six-winged angel... two, four, six, eight... a full eighteen wings. Above all realms, an angel with eighteen wings is definitely of supreme power, even far surpassing the Goddess Lovis. She alone could wipe us all out!"
The wind god and his companions wore bitter smiles, feeling a deep sense of despair.
"We're finished...everything's over! Damn it...I was about to become a core member of Holy Spirit City, why did I betray them! I'm such an idiot, an idiot even worse than a slime!"
The dragon god Bahamut couldn't help but whip himself several times with his tail, as regret spread wildly through his heart.
"It's all the fault of the various realms! It was the one that said Jiang Yan couldn't come back, it was the one that caused all of this, it must take responsibility!"
The gods looked at the silent avatars of the various realms to the side, their anger rising, but they dared not utter a word.
This is their only hope now.
On the other hand, compared to the gloomy and desolate atmosphere of the Gods' camp, the Holy Spirit City camp seemed to have gone from hell to heaven, filled with joy and jubilation.
"Haha, these monsters are doomed!"
The dwarves excitedly gulped down several mouthfuls of strong liquor and laughed heartily.
The Holy Lord has returned!
Countless angels' eyes shone with a fiery light, instantly coming to life.
They didn't even care that they were in the middle of a chaotic battle; they turned around and prayed in the direction of Jiang Yan.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the God's Favored Legion seized the opportunity to raise their weapons to kill their opponents, but the moment the thought arose, their bodies festered and exploded, resulting in their deaths.
They were so frightened that they retreated one after another.
However, Jiang Yan didn't care about any of that. He simply nodded slightly, took a step, and traversed billions of miles of space to arrive beside Li Miaolin, his face full of apology:
"Sorry I'm late."
"My husband!"
Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Li Miaolin finally couldn't control her emotions.
The grief upon hearing the devastating news... the fear and pressure of the Holy Realm being besieged... the helplessness of watching loyal believers fall one by one... the injustice of being bullied...
A flood of emotions overwhelmed her, and she threw herself into Jiang Yan's arms, tears streaming down her face, completely losing her former haughty demeanor.
"Waaah... You left without saying a word... I don't even know what happened... They came and besieged the Holy Realm... Killed so many believers... Waaah... I'm afraid to close my eyes every day, afraid the barrier will be breached... and our home will be destroyed..."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm back."
Jiang Yan hugged his wife tenderly and comforted her softly.
He could easily imagine that before she could even recover from the grief of losing her beloved, she was already facing betrayal from the gods, targeting from all realms, the crushing defeat of the angelic undead legion, and an attack from Lovis and others. Such a series of events would be enough to break a well-established god, let alone an ordinary woman with little experience and composure.
As he thought about it, the anger in Jiang Yan's eyes intensified, and the violent abyssal demonic energy continued to tear apart the surrounding space, churning wildly.
The Abyss Supremes, who were sensitive to emotions, were so frightened that they dared not breathe, and they prostrated themselves on the ground, wishing they could bury their heads in another dimension.
Last time, they were only slightly disrespectful to their master's subordinates, and eight of them were forcibly refined into immortal beings. Now, those people have offended their master's wife.
Tsk tsk... These guys with mediocre skills are really brave.
Their lowered heads couldn't help but reveal a hint of schadenfreude to each other.
"Holy Lord, should I kill them myself?"
Anna, who was quietly guarding the side, said softly.
"No need, I'll do it myself."
Jiang Yan carefully wiped away his wife's tears and said softly, "It's alright, don't cry. Don't worry, none of them will get away."
"Um..."
After venting her emotions, Li Miaolin realized that it seemed like everyone in the Holy Realm was watching her. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she shyly buried her head.
Seeing that his wife had calmed down, Jiang Yan took a deep breath and finally stopped suppressing his anger.
He raised his head, his right hand loosely clenched.
Instantly, the four powerful gods—the Wind God, the Fire God, the Water God, and the Earth God—were pulled to Jiang Yan's front like chicks being choked, their feet tiptoeing.
"You were about to attack her?"
Jiang Yan's gaze fell on the group of people, and he said calmly.
The sound wasn't loud, but it sent a chill down their spines.
"God, spare us... It was all Lovis who controlled us using the Book of Demons... And... and, yes, the other realms, it was the other realms that instructed us to do this..."
The gods, their eyes filled with fear, begged for mercy repeatedly.
"How do you want them to die?"
Jiang Yan spoke softly, asking the person in his arms.
"It's up to you to decide, but these people are fickle and have killed many believers, so we can't let them get away with it." Li Miaolin smiled sweetly.
"Your Majesty, we were confused for a moment. We beg your mercy. We are willing to make amends in any way we can. Please..."
Upon hearing this, the gods felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar and struggled desperately.
Jiang Yan ignored them, turning his gaze to the giant dragon watching the show from the side, and said indifferently, "Killing them directly would be too lenient for them. Yaberic, have you ever eaten the Supreme Being?"
"Master...you mean!"
Yaberic's enormous dragon eyes suddenly lit up, excitedly scanning the four divine lords. These ancient elemental supreme beings' bodies were formed from the condensation of laws; after consuming and refining them, even if they couldn't advance in rank, their physical strength would at least grow to a level comparable to that of supreme beings!
"Jiang Yan, how dare you! Kill us if you want! We are the elemental gods, how dare you treat us like this..."
Knowing they were doomed, the group relaxed upon hearing this. After all, they didn't want to be eaten by a stupid dragon that was only at the level of a god.
"The God Lord? He's not anymore."
Jiang Yan sneered, reached out and grabbed at the air, and the divine position formed by the four rules was forcibly pulled out and crushed into powder with a "bang".
"Ugh...!"
The four gods screamed in agony at the same time, their life force suddenly plummeting.
The divine position is bound to the soul; this separation is tantamount to tearing the soul apart, which is more painful than being slowly sliced to death.
"He...he actually managed to forcibly strip away his divine status!"
The gods watching from afar were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they kept shrinking back, completely losing the demeanor of their respective divine leaders.
“Anna.”
Jiang Yan, however, treated it as if he had done something insignificant, tossing the four dead-dog-like deities into Yaberic's mouth as a reward for its unwavering loyalty.
Anna, understanding the message, unleashed a divine light at the dragon from behind.
In an instant, the teeth, which were originally unable to penetrate the bodies of high-level beings, became exceptionally sharp, piercing through the group in a flash.
"Ah...ah...kill me, kill me now!" The agonizing screams echoed through the starry sky.
Yaberic deliberately avoided the vital parts, chewing repeatedly for a full five or six minutes before swallowing the four gods, who had turned into a pile of minced meat.
"Well done."
Jiang Yan gave a praise, then looked at the gods hiding behind their various avatars and at Lovis, who was pinned to the edge of the Holy Realm by a longsword:
"Sorry to keep you waiting... Now it's your turn."
