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

"Clang—!!!"

The two figures vanished instantly, turning into two afterimages that clashed together.

At first, Atoris was not used to Nydo's offensive, but as her physical strength gradually improved, she slowly became more composed.

As the other side in the battle, Nido felt her changes most clearly.

At the beginning, I was able to find opportunities to interrupt the opponent's moves and keep the rhythm of the entire battle in my own hands.

But now, only ten seconds or so have passed, and Nie Duo feels that the other party has escaped his control and is beginning to be able to launch some counterattacks against him.

As time went on, he even felt that he was somewhat outmatched.

If he was initially facing a weak and helpless fledgling, he now felt as if he were facing a giant dragon.

Just like those dragons who once disguised themselves as humans, they had human bodies, but the power they displayed was as insane as their thousand-meter-long dragon bodies.

This is the feeling I get right now when I pinch a lot of things.

It's unbelievable that the opponent's power could increase to this level in just one minute.

He even felt that if a real dragon came, it might not be able to compete with this blonde little girl in terms of power.

The opponent's fundamental power has already surpassed that of the strongest known race in the world, reaching a new level of understanding, like...

The witch who cleaved open the gates of Valhalla.

"No, it hasn't reached that outrageous level yet, but it's quite close."

While parrying Atoris's attacks, Nie Duo retreated to the rear, his face tightening.

In addition to possessing an aura on par with that witch, the other party also exuded an oppressive aura that he absolutely could not face directly.

It doesn't feel like the pressure generated by absolute power; if you had to describe it, it's more like a superior's oppression based on a concept.

Just as Nie Duo was surprised, an unprecedented pale golden light suddenly emanated from Atoris's body. It appeared for only a moment before it all gathered on the sword and rushed towards him.

[Civilizational Theocracy: Overthrow of All Ages]

Before Nie Duo could react, he felt as if a portion of his power had been drained from his body.

Not only him, but the entire Hall of Heroes seemed to have had a portion of its power drained away.

For a fleeting moment, Nido seemed to see a series of afterimages flashing past behind Atoris, but because the number of afterimages was so large, they overlapped into a fantastical building with wildly changing shapes.

"That is...?"

Valhalla!?

"Whoa!!!"

Just before Nido completely lost consciousness, Atoris had already swung his greatsword, unleashing a dazzling sword light that resembled a raging torrent towards Nido.

Thus, Nido's trial officially ended in an unexpected and overwhelming manner.

After all the noise subsided, Nie Duo's figure had already returned to his original statue, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to regain his original permanent body.

After doing all this, Atoris sheathed his greatsword and turned to look at Xie Bai.

"My lord, I have fulfilled your request."

Her tone was rather indifferent, as if what had just happened was nothing worth mentioning.

But Xie Bai could hear the excitement beneath her calm demeanor.

It was an excitement of wanting to be praised, but it was made even stronger by Atoris's deliberate suppression.

Instead of directly exposing Artoris's little scheme, she first went up to Artoris and gently tapped her forehead.

The next second, a brand new panel appeared in front of her.

[Void God's Favor: Artoris]

[Current Level: Conquest and Civilized Governance]

[Rule of Power: Conquest, Civilization]

Available Power: 100%

In other words, Atoris is now a genuine witch and has completely mastered the two divine powers, merging them together to ascend to a higher level of existence.

Xie Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the "Civilization" section under the authority.

With a light tap of his finger, all the information about the authority of civilization was displayed before Xie Bai, including the divine authority that Atoris had just cast.

[Civilizational Theocracy: Overthrow of All Ages]

[Gather the power of all heroic spirits, and use this as a foundation to recreate the rise and fall of all civilizations throughout history. The accumulated depth of time will manifest as a definite power, which you can freely wield.]

The collapse of all ages, a kind of divine authority that amplifies power in the late game.

A rich tapestry of historical civilizations, the heroic spirits representing each civilization, and techniques for maximizing power. Lacking any one of these elements would prevent this divine authority from achieving its desired effect.

Fortunately, the most arduous work of accumulation had been completed ahead of schedule by Valhalla, and now that Artorias had seized control of civilization, he already possessed a considerable fortune.

More importantly, due to her favor with the Void God, she can also use this authority.

Furthermore, as the ultimate ruler of Valhalla, even disregarding her own basic stats, the power that divine authority wielded through her would only be stronger than that of Atoris.

However, she hadn't fallen so low as to need to rely on the power of her predecessors, so this authority didn't hold much significance for her.

Mainly Artorias.

Xie Bai turned off the panel and stared intently at Atoris's small face.

Although the other person had managed to control their expression quite well, Xie Bai still found it difficult to look directly into their eyes, which were filled with an almost overflowing light of expectation.

"cough…"

Xie Bai coughed lightly, adjusting his tone.

"Hmm, you've done a great job. You're able to take on more responsibility now than before. If there are no problems, there's a big project concerning Valhalla that needs someone to coordinate, and you..."

"No problem!"

Atoris immediately picked up where Xie Bai left off.

"Whatever my Lord commands, I will do my utmost to fulfill it!"

Atoris raised his hands, the light in his eyes completely undisguised.

This is what she's been waiting for.

The reason she was afraid that her strength would fall far behind those around her was because she was worried that she would not be able to keep up with Xie Bai's pace.

Recently, whether it's the speed at which those around her are improving or the intensity of the crises that are erupting, she feels like she's gradually falling behind.

She was terrified that in the end, due to her lack of strength, she would only be able to stay in the back by Xie Bai for safety reasons, and her original position around Xie Bai would be replaced by someone stronger.

Fortunately, she still made it in time, and the other party did not abandon her.

"In that case, let's leave here first."

Xie Bai rubbed her head and then walked towards the back door exit.

Atoris watched her departing figure and nodded gently.

"Okay, sure."

She walked up quickly and stopped steadily behind Xie Bai.

"By the way, since you're taking on the work of the Hall of Heroes, have you figured out how to handle things with the Audu Empire?"

"Hmm? Are you referring to idols, my lord? Don't worry about that, I've already prepared for it."
