Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 627 - 591: A Battle with God
Sanderion's refusal was indeed resolute, but when she really faced the pair of men and women in front of her, she still felt the overwhelming pressure, making it almost impossible for her to stand steady.
"Is this the oppressive feeling of the Divine? Seems like after breaking through the legendary barrier, I underestimated the Divine, got a bit overconfident." Sanderion mocked herself, deeply feeling the gap between herself and a true God at this moment.
After using the divine potion provided by Perfikot to break through the legendary barrier and shatter the century-old curse on herself, Sanderion suddenly reached a realm that had been unreachable for a hundred years, making her attitude somewhat arrogant.
After all, this was a height that no one had ever reached in the recorded history of human civilization, and it was the first time since the mythological era that someone had broken through the legendary barrier.
Sanderion felt like she was the first person in a thousand years and the strongest Extraordinary in the history of the Victor Empire, naturally holding herself in high regard.
She might not usually give off this impression in her demeanor, but whether she was creating Aruru on the spot against the Death Sect or facing the Divine couple in front of her, she displayed a contemptuous attitude towards her enemies, even underestimating them.
It was as if she was strong enough already, and these enemies could be solved as long as she took action.
But when she really faced the Divine couple in front of her, she profoundly felt the heavy pressure, causing her knee to bend unconsciously, wanting to kneel in front of them.
Just as Perfikot nearly couldn't withstand the psychological pressure earlier, Sanderion's mentality was also somewhat unstable in the face of the Divine's might.
Only she didn't have the lavish equipment like Perfikot, nor did she possess an Eye of Omniscience capable of seeing through everything.
This led her to have to endure outright rather than quickly shaking off the influence like Perfikot.
But relatively speaking, Sanderion truly lived up to her Demigod strength, although her mentality was affected, she wasn't crushed, and instead truly withstood the pressure, commanding the two Godslaying Armors and Aruru together to attack the Divine couple in front of her.
Meanwhile, the unaffected Autonomous Knights also all joined the battle.
"Soulless puppets, huh? To be able to replicate the creations of the Wisdom God of yore, I must commend you for your talent in creation." Facing the attack from two Godslaying Armors and one automaton, the Divine couple appeared exceedingly composed, even having the leisure to offer some comments. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Yet because they were two people, mostly the man took action to fend off the attacks, while the woman simply stood on his shoulder, making their leisurely commentary seem unproblematic.
However, when even Sanderion joined the battle, the woman had no choice but to wield her whip and fight alongside the man, losing the leisure to comment on Sanderion and Perfikot.
Even so, the expression on the woman's face remained consistently tranquil with a hint of a smile, as if the current battle did not pressure her.

In the distance, Perfikot watched all this and couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder.
She had already overestimated the strength of the Divine, but now this Divine formed by a couple still exceeded her original expectations.
"Looks like slaying the God is harder than I anticipated!" Perfikot realized that it was nearly impossible to defeat the enemy with just the Gun Knight and Claw Wolf, even with the cooperation of Aruru and Sanderion.
Through this genuine Divine in front of her, Perfikot profoundly felt the vast power gap between a divine creature and a true God.
Speaking of the gap between the two, it was roughly as large as the difference between an ordinary Knight and a decorated Knight donning Steam Knight armor.
It wasn't just a difference in rank but a comprehensive strength overwhelming from all aspects.
Even if the Gun Knight and Claw Wolf had been reinforced after the last battle, the previous combat proved they were worthy of Perfikot's investment in them.
But the Divine in front of her managed to suppress these two throughout the fight, if not for Aruru and Sanderion's constraint, these two might have already been smashed.
"Indeed, a qualitative change exists between the Divine and divine creatures, rather than merely a quantitative pile of divinity." Perfikot wasn't surprised by this result, and under the effect of the crown, she was still able to think calmly.
Nonetheless, she did not despair but decided to bet big.
"Have the Flying Airship land and let me off. Leave a small Flying Airship here, everyone else retreat immediately!" Perfikot issued the command and began removing her cumbersome aristocratic attire unsuitable for combat.
Although Perfikot had always been a powerful Alchemist, counted among the Extraordinary, she had never truly engaged in combat before.
This led her to regularly wear aristocratic attire matching her status, rarely donning garments specifically designed for battle.
But now that she decided to personally enter the fight, naturally, she needed to change her clothes.
Removing her aristocratic attire, she casually slapped herself, turning her original inner garment into a snug and compact battle outfit, her ever-present Golden Touching Rod slanting at her waist, and the staff embedded with the Philosopher's Stone held in her hand.
The crown still seeping blood remained embedded in her skull, yet this appearance made Perfikot seem like she was wearing the legendary crown of thorns.
"Count, it's too dangerous here, you can't stay!" Seeing Perfikot intending to head to the ground to fight, the captain hurried to dissuade her.
However, Perfikot coldly replied, "There's no longer anything here for you to do, the next battle would only leave you as a burden, execute the order captain, if you still acknowledge yourself as an Empire soldier."
Faced with such a Perfikot, the captain was speechless, only able to order the Flying Airship to lower its altitude, allowing Perfikot to descend to the ground.
Then all seven Flying Airships left one along with all unused Thermobaric Bombs, while the other six airships took everyone away from the battlefield.
"Now it's my turn, Divine! Let you witness the power of technology!" Saying this, Perfikot directly inserted her staff into the ground, launching the largest-scale alchemy she had ever performed.
