He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

"Huh?"

Atoris looked at Ivy in astonishment.

After confirming that Ivy's expression wasn't a joke, she frowned and her tone became more cautious.

"It seems the situation is more complicated than I thought, after all, the other party is, after all, a legendary god."

As she spoke, she looked up at Ivy.

For some reason, Ivy felt as if she had been offended.

"Wait! You're not trying to say that I'm too weak, lowering your judgment of the Supreme God, which is why you didn't anticipate this situation, are you?"

Seeing Ivy pointing at him in embarrassment, Atoris waved his hand.

"You said that yourself, I never said that."

"you…!"

Ivy pointed angrily, then immediately stepped back and put her arm down.

"Fine, I won't argue with you for now."

She turned her face away and began to steer the conversation back to the present.

"Let's get back to business. Although the aura of that Gliese permeates the entire continent, it varies in intensity."

"From my observation, there are two places where the aura is the strongest, clearly different from the others. One is a remote area in that direction, and the other is this towering tree beneath us."

Ivy withdrew her previous angry expression and became serious.

"Especially here, I can feel the strongest aura here. I guess he himself is hiding somewhere down here."

As Ivy analyzed the situation, Atoris's expression gradually became serious.

"Is that so...?"

She took a deep breath.

"Ivy, go and probe the area where the aura is faint. As for this place, I'll handle it myself."

Ivy suddenly paused, stunned.

"what?"

She looked at Atoris, somewhat bewildered.

"Are you... sure you can deal with that god by yourself? Although the current world's limitations prevent him from unleashing his full power, he is still a god, after all."

Although Atoris is indeed powerful and is undoubtedly the strongest demigod in the world, he is still only a demigod.

The gap between a demigod and a true god is far greater than the gap between a demigod and a mortal, not to mention that the being she is facing is a supreme god, above the true gods.

At that moment, Atoris glanced at Ivy.

"Then why don't you use your authority to provide me with support?"

"Although your physical combat strength is inferior to that of a slime on the roadside, your authority is genuinely at the level of a supreme god. I'm not asking you to fight that supreme god head-on, but simply dispelling his power through your authority should be enough, right?"

Hearing Atoris's reminder, Ivy blushed and awkwardly moved to the side.

"Oh right, I think I can actually do that. I almost forgot I'm on the same level..."

Under Atoris's somewhat speechless gaze, Ivy cleared her throat and spoke solemnly.

"Alright, then I'll try to use the power of the stars to cover this place with light."

With that, Ivy lightly stepped off the ground, transforming into a shooting star and disappearing from the spot.

Atoris watched the shooting star disappear into the sky and sighed softly.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the sky.

"Boom!!!"

Sensing a violent tremor in the heavens and earth, Atoris immediately turned her head back, and the scene before her eyes made her slightly stunned.

【Starry Sky Divine Authority: Enveloped by Stars】

The once clear sky was instantly transformed into a dazzling starry sky, starting with a streak of starlight.

Under the cover of this starry sky, most places seem to be plunged into darkness, unable to see a single ray of sunlight.

Fortunately, the starry sky was bright enough that it did not plunge the earth into complete darkness.

Atoris looked up at the clearly visible stars, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"You should have said you had the ability earlier."

"It's a bit flashy, but I like it."

She raised the crimson greatsword, her eyes lowered.

"I want to see just how much power this so-called supreme god can unleash."

With that, she waved her hand forcefully, and a portion of the starlight in the sky instantly descended upon her.

"Whoosh—!!!"

[Conquering Divine Authority: The Vastness of Heaven and Earth]

……

The Kingdom of Life.

Mira sat on a tree branch, idly swinging her legs.

"Speaking of which... Gliese, what exactly are you trying to achieve by spreading the power of the Authority of Light throughout the entire Southern Continent?"

She looked at the motionless golden figure under the tree and cautiously leaned forward.

In response to her question, the golden figure known as Gliese stirred slightly.

"What are you doing...?"

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"It's probably preparation for the upcoming war of the gods."

Mira's swaying legs suddenly stopped.

"Should be?"

"No, what do you mean by that? Tell me! Are you hiding some secret from me that you would never tell me?"

The golden figure slightly raised its head.

"You said it yourself, it's a secret I would never tell you."

"you…!"

Mira's face immediately flushed red.

She jumped down from the tree and angrily pointed at the golden figure.

"You bastard, every time I ask you about a secret, you give me the same answer! Who are you trying to fool with that riddle-like act, Prospero?!"

At this point, Mira suddenly paused, then lowered her finger from the other person.

"That guy is the same. He always uses fate as an excuse to keep all sorts of secrets from me. I can't even find anything to talk about with him if I want to make friends."

"Now he's fallen into a second, complete slumber. I think you're going to be just like him, eager to avoid me, aren't you...?"

Seeing Mira's increasingly dejected expression, the golden figure shook its head.

"Mira, this is indeed our problem. After all, you... are really different from us."

He turned around and spoke to himself.

"You are a god who rose from man, unlike us, you are not bound by your own rules. You also do not need to worry about the original framework."

"Furthermore, your relationship with that Void being is quite friendly. In the end, if anything happens to you, she will definitely come to your aid."

Mira raised her eyes and looked at the golden figure with some anger.

"Hmph... You still have the nerve to mention that Void One? I bet as soon as she returns, forget about starting your so-called God War, you'll be reduced to ashes before you even get started."

The golden figure chuckled as Mira questioned him as if he were being cursed.

"So I can't let them come back so quickly; at least, I'll stall for as long as possible."

He turned to look at Mira and explained before she could press him for an answer.

"Ordinary methods are not enough to hold her back; her strength is too great. So I can only try to keep her in the void a little longer by offering her benefits."

As he spoke, he drew up a screen of light, unfolding an image in front of Mira.

"You should remember that during that dark catastrophe 30 million years ago, a considerable number of true gods had their names erased and were then banished into the void."

"It just so happens that the Void is currently researching the ascension ritual of the main god and needs some godhoods that are easy to seize and can be recognized by the main timeline."

"In this way, I can first awaken those banished true gods and let the void hunt to its heart's content."

Even after hearing the golden figure's explanation, Mira still looked confused.

"No, when did she learn the Ascension Ritual of the Main God? She just asked me about it a while ago, and I had no idea."

The golden figure smiled gently in response to her question.

"This is also a small part of a secret that I could never tell you."

"you…!"

Just as Mira was about to berate the other party again, a sudden commotion came from the outer perimeter of the Kingdom of Life.

Sensing something amiss, the golden figure tried to send out a sliver of light to investigate, only to find its power covered by starlight.

He withdrew the light and nodded slightly.

"The power of the ruling party... well, it's not bad."
