The flames of the twin fire gods burned away all evil, not to mention Tartarus, the symbol of the deepest abyss. The minions of the abyss had nowhere to hide and were all engulfed in flames.
For a moment, a strange scene unfolded in the statue square: the demon burned to ashes in the seawater, howling as it was reduced to ash under the double attack of water and fire.
The elder of the twin gods, Riphia, wore a smile that didn't reach her eyes, while the younger brother, Wefia, smiled brightly, but made no attempt to conceal the wickedness within.
In comparison, the monsters that died at the hands of Wefia suffered ten times more torment than those at the hands of Rifia, their misery beyond description.
The younger brother, Weaver, seemed to have had enough and excitedly searched for a suitable target in the statue square.
Unfortunately, torturing humanoid monsters is far more interesting than torturing ordinary monsters. Wefia has never restrained his habit, especially when he encounters prey that he tortures at will. His behavior is comparable to that of a devil, and even the Demon King admits that he is inferior to him.
The pitiful howls of the humanoid monsters echoed clearly throughout the entire statue square, but the other gods paid no attention to it, and the older brother, Rifia, indulged Wefia to the extreme.
No one can save the humanoid monsters. They have no sense of pain, but the pain of being burned by divine flames never comes from the body, but from the mind.
Clearly, Weaver was well aware of this as well.
After the return of the divine status, the androgynous appearance of the Earth God became even more blurred, and it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female simply by looking at him.
His long hair was even more deceptive, and coupled with the gentle expression on his face, he gave people a feeling of 'mother'. If it weren't for his ruthless attitude when dealing with monsters, people would really mistake him for the most approachable and easily forgiven god.
His natural affability has become more natural and trustworthy over the years.
Compared to when he first became a god, he is like an ignorant child and an ancient being who has seen through the vicissitudes of life.
And that is indeed the case.
The power of the earth element means that you will not be at a disadvantage in any terrain. Although places like ruins are not very suitable for combat, it does not mean that they are not his home ground.
As long as he is near the earth, he is a god who is almost invincible.
All seven divine positions shimmered within the underground ruins, their power sweeping across almost the entire continent. Even ascetics deep in the mountains received the signal of the gods' return.
"It is... the power of the God Lord, truly a miracle!"
The nuns and paladins left behind by the Temple of Light were on the outermost edge of the monster horde outside the ruins. As the number of monsters inexplicably decreased, they even moved closer to the ruins.
Caught off guard by the power of their own god, almost the entire team was stunned. It wasn't until much later that someone finally let out a sound that went from uncertainty to ecstasy.
"The God has finally returned!"
"It is the God!"
"May God protect us and His faithful believers!"
Just like praying to a statue of a god, the believers knelt down almost without hesitation in the direction of the ruins, welcoming their deity with near fanaticism.
Similar situations have occurred among different factions; no one who believes in a deity has escaped it.
Even the members of the Blood Hunter Guild knelt down at the same time.
Although they may not seem to believe in gods, the Blood Hunter Guild actually worships the God of Darkness. As people who have survived from darkness and predicament, the spirits of other gods are just decorations to them.
Only the belief in the God of Darkness best aligns with their doctrines.
...
"You!!!! Tartarus will not lose! The Abyss will not let you get away with this!"
The last female monster let out a desperate howl in the deepest part of the underground ruins.
She knew that with the return of the seven gods, Tartarus's conspiracy would not succeed, and they would not be able to obtain the divine body. They could only watch helplessly as the primordial god, who posed the greatest threat to them, awakened, and even a henchman like her would perish here. But she was unwilling to accept it.
She refused.
So, just seconds before the gods were about to attack her, she uttered her last words.
"Even if she wakes up, so what?! She has violated the laws of this world! She is forbidden! She will definitely not have a good ending! Even if the Abyss does not obtain her, she can never live forever!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes widened instantly.
Because her head had already fallen to the ground, she could only watch helplessly as her body gradually dissipated, returning to the original black mist. And because of the authority of the gods, she, who belonged to the abyss, was even unable to return to the abyss.
It can only dissipate into the air.
The statue square returned to its original silence. After clearing out the remaining monsters, the eleven men finally had time to study what had just happened.
The air was eerily silent. Everyone stared at each other, wide-eyed, but no one spoke.
An atmosphere of tension spread, and finally everyone looked toward the altar in unison.
The protagonist of this incident was lying inside, but even after the incident was over, she still showed no signs of waking up, which became the only breakthrough point.
At least it won't embarrass the men present.
Time passed second by second, and finally a faint reaction came from the altar. Several people who had been resting with their eyes closed opened their eyes at that moment and looked at the altar.
However, what they didn't know was that the crisis they thought they had averted still loomed over them.
Before Bai Xi truly merges with it, the Abyss will absolutely not give up this opportunity. Even if it uses its true form to forcibly enter a region that the Abyss could not originally reach, causing the Abyss to suffer a 'great loss', it still does not want to give up this piece of fat meat.
It was just a mindless black hole, and its hunger for 'food' was on full display at this moment.
Unbeknownst to anyone, in a corner, the ruins began to collapse in large sections.
The dark cracks widened deep within the ruins, swallowing up vast amounts of things—bricks, stone pillars, buildings, and the ruins themselves—but to the abyss, this was merely an appetizer.
A drop in the ocean.
What it really wants is... Bai Xi.
"Why isn't he awake yet! We're doomed, are we going to fail?"
The air rippled slightly as the two hidden figures sensed the abyss's movement. Their voices were filled with surprise, and even a hint of lingering fear.
It was as if the abyss had cast a long shadow over him.
"If she doesn't wake up, this will be a disaster, and there won't be a third body for her."
The other voice also unconsciously became anxious.
At that moment, all the men in the statue square were looking at the altar, but Safa seemed to have noticed something. He looked up at the shattered statue with a look of doubt in his eyes.
