I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 1735 - 947: The Descent of the Main Gods! (Part 2)

As the spell was chanted, the magic elements around began to gather wildly, forming a gigantic energy vortex.Suddenly, a powerful forbidden curse was unleashed from his hand, like a grand fire dragon charging towards the abyssal beasts.

Wherever the fire dragon spell passed, the abyssal beasts were turned to ashes, letting out wretched screams.

The other divine officers did not attack rashly, instead quickly forming various battle formations.

They collaborated based on their specialties and duties, gathering strength to launch attacks on the abyssal beasts.

Of course, among the abyssal beasts were also a substantial number of legendary beasts.

These legendary beasts were resisting the assaults from the Church of the Gods, constantly launching attacks, attempting to break through the divine officers’ defenses.

And yet, the demigod of the Church of the Gods, [Earth’s Bountiful Giver] Cecilia, did not take action but waited quietly in the heart of the frontline.

However, it was evident that even so, these abyssal beasts could hardly withstand the fully prepared Church of the Gods’ forces.

Countless abyssal beasts were eliminated, and even legendary beasts could only resist for a bit longer.

At this moment, deep within the abyss channel, an overwhelmingly formidable power began to emerge silently.

This power resembled numerous twisted and deformed tentacles.

They intertwined and flailed madly, surging from the depths of the abyss channel like a raging tide.

Each tentacle emanated an eerie aura, enveloped in a twisted and frenzied evil power.

This feeling was as if to drag everything around into endless darkness and madness.

The demigod Cecilia from the Church of the Gods frowned.

She quickly recognized the source of this power.

It did not originate from Spider Queen Rose but from another evil god in the Endless Abyss.

[Lady of Sighs] Linkabu!

Just as [Lady of Sighs] Linkabu’s powerful and evil force emerged, the entire underground city space trembled.

The originally dim and dark space was instantly filled with this evil power, so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

At this time, Cecilia suddenly looked up.

Her eyes, usually calm as water, were now shining with an unusual light.

Immediately, a gentle and holy light rose slowly around her body, enveloping her entirely within.

This light, like the warm sun in winter, brought a touch of warmth and solace.

It also seemed like an invisible barrier, isolating that evil power outside.

Under this light, Cecilia’s figure appeared more dignified and sacred.

Her face was calm and serene, with eyes showing a fearless courage and unwavering faith.

As the light continued to flicker, a phantom slowly appeared before the crowd.

It was a kind and gentle-looking lady, with the corners of her mouth slightly lifted in a faint smile, as if capable of soothing all the world’s pains and fears.

Her eyes were full of compassion and wisdom, seemingly able to see through everything, perceiving the essence of all things in the world.

[Earth Mother God] Shantia!

The appearance of this deity instantly eased the previously tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Her hand reached forward, and the ground beneath the abyss channel suddenly cracked open.

A giant rock hand emerged from the earth, reaching for the abyss channel above.

The twisted tentacles emerging from the abyss channel seemed to sense a threat, and all moved to grasp the giant rock hand below.

Shantia’s expression remained unchanged as she clenched her right hand.

The giant rock hand instantly expanded countless times, fiercely grasping all the twisted tentacles, then shattered them completely.

All the twisted tentacles emerging from the abyss channel were instantly eradicated.

The residual abyss power from the shattered twisted tentacles began to spread to the surroundings.

Shantia gently raised her hand, a golden light enveloping the area around the abyss channel, sealing away all that abyss power.

At this moment, Linkabu’s voice echoed from within the abyss channel.

"Shantia, can you not resist taking action sooner?"

"This is so unlike your style."

With a gentle smile, Shantia heard the words but did not take any action nor respond to Linkabu’s provocation.

Shantia took a step forward, directly into the abyss channel.

"What?!"

Even as an Abyss Evil God, Linkabu was shocked by Shantia’s choice.

The forces of the Church of the Gods, witnessing this scene, did not display any astonishment.

Led by several legends, the Church of the Gods’ troops began to arrange around the abyss channel in front of them.

With a half-god artifact as the core, a massive sealing array gradually appeared around the abyss channel.

After [Earth Mother God] entered the abyss channel, similar events unfolded in other parts of the underground city.

[God of Dawn] Losanda!

[Creator, Guardian, and Ruler of Elves] Correlon!

[Half-Elf Main God] Yudala!

[Dwarf Main God] Moradin!

[Beastman Main God] Gushu!

Numerous powerful divine deities descended with their avatars, seizing control of the underground city’s situation, and then unhesitatingly entered the abyss channels!

...

In Kane Floating City,

The images in front of Lis and Tarinda displayed everything occurring in the underground city in real-time.

During the Endless Abyss invasion of the underground city, even Lis couldn’t directly observe what was happening down there.

However, with the Church of the Gods and the Pan-Continent Mage Association’s exploration, they had developed ways to observe the battles in the underground city.

"It’s truly terrifying!"

Tarinda remarked, pulling her gaze away from the screen:

"This might be the first time in Gaia World’s history so many powerful divine beings have appeared simultaneously, right?"

"Lis, how did you manage it?"

"I didn’t do it; it was just a slight influence."

Lis shook his head slightly and said frankly:

"The Church of the Gods had long prepared for this counterattack."

"After all, we could all see the Endless Abyss, under that Demon Prince’s guidance, was about to invade Gaia Main World."

"How could those deities sit still?"

"This is their home base, the Church of the Gods would only be even more anxious than us."

"Moreover, I didn’t expect Mr. Stephens’ identity... to be so special."

In fact, Lis was quite surprised when he learned from Tarinda about Stephens’ hidden identity.

Mr. Stephens was actually the [Gaia Guardian]!

They say it’s a special existence chosen by Gaia World Consciousness, playing the role of maintaining the balance and stability of the Main World with Gaia World Consciousness.

And the magic wand Mr. Stephens held, [Gaia’s Fury], was a gift from Gaia World Consciousness.

Through this unique wand, Mr. Stephens could channel the power of the main world!

Perhaps that’s why Mr. Stephens could hold out against Demogorgon for so long.

There have been many Gaia Guardians throughout history, and the gods are aware of them.

For Lis, it was the first time he learned of his teacher’s identity.

He remembered that when he inherited from World Tree Yggdrasil, while mastering the [Wisdom] domain, he also gained a new specialty [Gaia Guardian].

Does this mean that I share the same identity with my teacher?

That might be why Mr. Stephens actively sought to disrupt Demogorgon’s plans!

Knowing the reason, Lis naturally had to do everything possible to rescue Mr. Stephens.

But the current situation was clear, Demogorgon’s avatar was staying on the twelfth layer.

Without drawing it away, there’s simply no chance of rescuing the teacher.

Lis needed to use all available forces to maximize the chances of rescuing the teacher.

Coincidentally, Lis was aware of the Church of the Gods’ upcoming actions.

Effecting a minor change in the timing of actions was within Lis’ power.

While changes were unfolding in the underground city, Lis’ vampire avatar on the 106th layer sensed a formless change.

That was the terrifying power fluctuation originating from higher layers.

Cain, sitting next to Lis, smiled and said:

"It’s truly lively!"

"It has been a long time since the Endless Abyss was this lively!"
