So I'm a sheep.

Looking at his devastated homeland, Pound's joyful face was tinged with sorrow.

The sorrow in his heart grew heavier and heavier until finally, the Grand Duke's face was devoid of any smile.

"Father......"

Priscilla hadn't used such an intimate title in a long time. After becoming archbishop, she always addressed Pound with the cold "Grand Duke" to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

"What's wrong with me? It's supposed to be a joyous day of leaving the crowded island and returning to the mainland."

Pound breathed a sigh of relief: "Archbishop Priscilla, you go ahead and do your work. Let me wander around by myself."

"Yes, Your Excellency, please take care of yourself."

Priscilla hesitated for a moment, then hardened her heart and said, “You may grieve, but you must not let grief crush you. Your life no longer belongs to yourself. My lord, and all the people of Brundo do not wish for, nor will they allow, you to fall!”

"Thanks for reminding me, although it was completely unnecessary."

From the beginning of the turbulent year to the end of the War of Faith, the long-suffering Archduke Pound had grown into an impeccable leader.

The elderly duke closed his eyes to compose himself, then opened them again. His face was full of determination, showing no trace of fatigue.

"Stop standing there, everyone get off the ship!"

“Brendo is our home; we can’t rely on friends who have come from afar for everything.”

"The village must be rebuilt, the land must be sown, but most importantly, the statue of our Lord must be erected first!"

......................................

Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye, and when the bells rang, all the gods knew that the time for the final battle had come.

Stars fell, traversing the material world and reaching the abyss!

The powerful gods took the lead without hesitation, and under the aura of the gods, the demons screamed and vanished into nothingness.

"Warriors who have been active in many ages, followers of Wutempas!"

A grand voice resounded, and as countless amounts of faith power were consumed, the Legion of Prayers of Tempas was teleported here!

"Sing the name of the sun!"

"Call out the name of the moon!"

Two more powerful gods unleashed their power, and the armies of the supplicants of Losanda and Suren arrived.

"This is a war of revenge."

"Roar!!!"

Justice will prevail.

"..."

"Warriors of Brendor, answer my call!"

With a surge of divine power, about three hundred knights appeared before Sasha.

Compared to the vast armies of other gods, such a small number of knights is truly pathetic.

"Just a token gesture, it's nothing more than a weak divine power, don't have too high expectations of me."

The gods were already on high alert, with even the supreme god Ain appearing at the very back, wielding the Tablet of Destiny.

However, apart from the initial surge of cannon fodder demons, the abyss remained deathly silent.

"..."

Your Majesty, Aion

Commander-in-Chief Tempas came over and asked, "Something seems amiss."

"I sensed a tremendous evil approaching this place. It flew out from the deepest part of the abyss—it was a dragon!"

"A black dragon, its body engulfed in flames; the will of the abyss, possessing a body powerful enough, has arrived as a world-devouring evil dragon!"

So that's what the tablet of fate was warning about.

Dragon Shadow...

Hehe, though I don't know how you acquired this body, the gods will surely win this battle!

......................................

Ian's powerful confidence inspired Tempas, who gripped his chipped battle axe tightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

The terrifying black dragon finally appeared, its body more than ten times larger than the dragon god Bahamut.

An inextinguishable infernal fire coiled around its body, and its two pairs of dragon wings were covered with countless eyeballs.

The abyss dragon ignored the other deities, staring intently at the supreme god and roaring with hatred: "Aien—"

"abyss!!!"

At this moment, even the gods focused all their attention on the evil dragon.

The opportunity was fleeting, but Sasha... seized it!

Suddenly appearing beside Ain, the girl struck the Destiny Tablet with her palm.

The cracked artifact could not withstand the legion commander's full-force attack, and under the incredulous gaze of the gods, the Tablet of Destiny shattered.

The severely damaged world will was unable to offer any assistance to Aien for a long time, and this supreme god no longer had any advantage when facing the celestial legion commander and the abyssal dragon.

"traitor!"

Ain's mind went blank as Tempas roared and swung his double axes at the girl.

"I have never been loyal to the false god!!!"

With a voice twenty times louder than Tempas's, Sasha roared back, and in a flash, a colossal dragon shimmering with starlight appeared before the gods.

"Demon King's reserve, Aien, your end has come!"

Sasha swatted Tempas away with one paw and took a deep breath.

Starlight Breath!

"Hahahaha"

The abyss dragon also broke through the gods' obstruction and breathed out from the abyss!

"Ah! Other gods, evil dragons! Today you will all perish here!"

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Ignoring his injuries, the god-god went berserk and began to fight the two giant dragons.

......................................

The demon lords led countless demons to charge against the gods' army, but both the gods and the demon lords soon realized that the battle could not continue.

The power of the supreme gods, alien gods, and abyssal dragons is simply unimaginable. The aftershocks of their battles can easily tear apart the bodies of weaker gods. If one is accidentally caught in it, even a powerful god will perish instantly!

It's impossible to fight anymore, we can't continue!

The gods and demons can only stay far away from the battleground of those three to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"Ain, Ain, Ain, Ain, Ain, Ain!!!"

With a single bite, the abyss dragon tore off the arm of the supreme god, its eyes filled with ecstasy.

With the Light of the End fully activated, the phantom of a death knell faintly appeared on the forehead of the Starry Sky Dragon.

The moment this phantom appeared, Ain was filled with terror.

That was a projection of a forbidden artifact that far surpassed the Tablet of Fate.

clang!

Having exhausted all the power of the Light of the End for only one strike, Ain's body was reduced to nothingness in that single blow.

A sense of impending death washed over him, and the god gave a bitter smile.

At this moment, both Sasha and the Abyss Dragon stopped.

The two dragons stared intently at Ain, wondering who his final blow would land on.

Volume 1: Chapter 526 An Angel Descended to My Side

"So, you're not all of one mind after all."

Seeing the two dragons wary of her and each other, Ain revealed a mocking smile.

Then, he stretched out his only remaining right arm toward the abyss dragon.

"Roar!!!"

This is a final blow, even at the cost of shattering its divine essence. Even if it can withstand Ain's desperate attack, it will undoubtedly be defeated in the upcoming battle against the Light Warrior.

At this moment, fate was on Sasha's side.

However......

"Starlight Escape!"

With a whoosh, the dragon claw tore apart the body of the god-god, grabbed his divine essence, and pulled it outwards.

Ain had to change his target halfway through, and with a punch that gathered all his divine power, he pierced through the belly of the Star Dragon, but his own divine essence was also violently torn out.

"Die, Ain!"

The abyss dragon swallowed the remains of the supreme god whole, its face contorted in pain as its belly swelled and deflated rapidly.

After several attempts, and with a roar of defiance, Ain finally fell.

"..."

Squinting at the heavily injured Starry Sky Dragon and the shattered divine core that it desperately clung to in its claws, the evil dragon laughed wildly to the sky.

"Haha, ahahahahahaha!"

"Saya, what did I say again?"

"Greedy hero, one day you will lose your life because of your greed!"

Looking at the smug abyss dragon, Sasha could only smile bitterly.

The moment Ain's divine core cracked, her uncontrollable greed drove her to act recklessly.
