"Cough cough..."

"Your Excellencies, I'm too restrained by Divine Power..."

"I know, I'm useless. How about this, Your Excellencies."

"The Lord of Scarlet has already arrived, and some time ago, the Lord of Decay also died under the sun. But this also indicates that Your Excellencies now have space to descend."

Charles coughed twice, "If... I mean if, if Your Excellencies take action personally, the souls here would be yours."

"As long as the Ancient Gods cooperate, even as incarnations, there is currently no order that can stop Your Excellencies' steps."

"Moreover..."

Silence, an incomparably quiet silence.

Vast beings from beyond the heavens began to ponder.

They hesitated, wavering.

Charles wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Xia's recovery is always gradual; with Your Excellencies' mighty power, entering during the Divine Level would be difficult."

"Walking Xia in incarnations, collecting resources, souls, and wails, might be best for Your Excellencies."

"And humble Charles is willing to be the sharp blade in Your Excellencies' hands, serving each descending Excellency."

A stream of consciousness pondered, wandering in this space filled with ruins.

In the distance, a young man wearing the Sun God Robe appeared, expressionless.

He stared coldly at Charles.

The sun's radiance can illuminate the darkness, but there are always some corners where shadows linger.

This is why Helie couldn't kill Charles time and again.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed Mr. Helie."

As he raised his hand, a familiar voice rang out.

Turning around, an evil ghost filled with Solar Divine Power was staring at him.

It was quickly erased by the Sun's Divine Power, but still spoke elegantly, "I'm Charles, if it counts, we are old friends by now."

"As they say, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies..."

Helie raised his hand, the Solar Divine Power began to coalesce, the brilliance of Divine Magic making the entire sky scorching hot.

The reassuring sunlight shone on the evil ghost, erasing it instantly.

A powerful Divine Magic aura surged towards Charles' body.

Boom~

The sun's radiance enveloped the ruins, the whole ruins began to melt, but the darkness at the center had already disappeared.

Helie was not surprised. If it had been so easy to kill Charles, he would have done it already.

He always had a feeling that this Dark Divine Favored wasn't so easy to defeat, but rather... was evading something...

"Mr. Helie, there's no need to be so aggressive, we are not exactly mortal enemies, are we?"

The familiar voice sounded again, he turned his head, the being filled with Solar Divine Power appeared for the third time.

The first time, he killed it outright; the second was just now, and now...

"Seven Border Cities."

Helie spoke coldly, his tone full of murderous intent.

"They are just useless waste, what is the point of having more?"

Boom~

The hillside was instantly shrouded by intense heat.

Helie turned around, the killing intent in his eyes intensified, yet it was just...

He turned his head westward, where the sun's afterglow was shining, dyeing the world golden.

And the darkness… was beginning to gather there.

He stepped forward coldly, and once again, the familiar voice rang out for the fourth time.

"There's no need to hate me so much, let's cooperate, Mr. Helie."

"Not interested." Helie coldly raised his hand, Divine Power surged again, the Faith in the air rapidly gathered, serving as fuel for the Solar Divine Power, pushing the Divine Magic to shake the surrounding space.

"What if it was... Hunt God?"

Buzz~

The framework of Divine Magic suddenly stopped, the golden radiance floating like a rootless flame, slowly dissipating.

"My mission is to sacrifice your Federation, you know, if I wanted to, I could have done it a year ago, but I didn't."

The lower half of the evil ghost was gone, the Sun's Divine Power slowly eroding its body.

Inexplicably, Helie thought of a Divine Magic...

This Ancient God's Favored... is using his aura to block the perception of Gods!

Helie said nothing, just calmly watched the evil ghost, his thoughts complicated for a moment.

The past year's moments flashed through his mind.

Time and again, saving at the critical moment, the roars of Sun Salutation, the destruction of cities.

He always seemed to make it in time, even… a Divine Envoy had died at his hands...

These coincidences converged.

Helie's pupils contracted sharply, this existence who wholeheartedly aided the Ancient Gods is actually... hunting them!

And now inviting him to collaborate, to execute his plan together!

"The first target of the Gods will only be to destroy your orders, and within a month, I estimate at least seven Divine Envoys will descend, representing the Mighty Divine Power of most Ancient Gods."

"If you insist, coincidences will cease to exist..."

With these words, the evil ghost vanished.

But a new evil ghost, with Solar Divine Power, appeared again in the original spot.

Helie hesitated, just about to speak.

Rumble rumble rumble...

Behind him, a strong buzzing erupted.

Helie turned around.

In the sky, large Mechas spanning several kilometers in range, each over three hundred meters tall and full of technological aura, slowly touched down, making the earth tremble endlessly.

The evil ghost paused, looking at the endless formation of Mechas, an indescribable emotion flashing in its eyes.

"Mr. Helie, it seems you have some foundation, so the gift I'm giving you, I hope you can accept it, so you won't have to be troubled anymore...."
