The anti-aircraft gun crews on the train were aiming at the clouds, their sights faintly pointing in the direction of Guzhar.

Guzar quickly isolated his spirituality to avoid being detected by the sorcerers on the vehicle, and then changed positions repeatedly, setting up dummies to confuse the view, before he saw the cannon muzzle move away.

Guzal was greatly impressed by the first-round matches between Santis and Sulf.

He threw down forty kilograms of antimony like it was free; after two more rounds, it would almost equal his entire fortune.

On the other hand, the talent on the other side is almost that of Rexar. Although it's not the "Disintegrate" type, the golden fire just now was at least linked with two binary substitutions, or linked with Trinity and a Hand of Conversion!

This technique was unheard of to him, but it must have demonstrated a very high level of understanding of the Transforming Hand ritual and knowledge of ritual studies.

It's understandable that Santis is wealthy and powerful.

The person opposite him, Sulph, was a complete prodigy—and he knew very well that this Sulph envoy was still Sequence Six back in Golden Moon Bay!

At Sequence Six, he couldn't see Sulph's talent. Now, by forcibly pulling her up to Sequence Four with the Philosopher's Stone, Tia's complete form has unfolded.

Santis cast a gentle breeze shield around himself to protect him from the wind and rain, and said to Guzal, "I'll go deal with Sulfu, you go and stop the train for me."

Guzar pointed to himself in disbelief, "Me?"

"Are all your prophets such useless trash? They can't do anything right. It would be better to raise pigs than to keep you!"

Guzar found the words familiar.

But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

He still needs to redeem himself at the Sanctuary of Bloodthorns!

Santis said, "There are also twelve Sequence Six sorcerers in Red Hill Woods, and about ten Sequence Five Inquisitors from the Inquisition. I don't care what method you use, you go and find a way to stop that car!"

Guzar reluctantly agreed.

Amidst the dark clouds.

Santis looked down at the train speeding across the ground and saw it gleaming as if enveloped in an ocean of light, moving through the dim woods like a moving sun.

Within the sun's core, Tia held her scepter in one hand and the Victory Sword at her waist in the other. The golden fire, ignoring friend and foe, slowly scorched her flesh.

The Crimson Cup is rapidly amplifying Tia's physical body and soul, and under the influence of the extraordinary transformation, the amplification intensity is suddenly increasing.

Then comes the path of suffering, where pain is continuously transformed into nourishment for the soul and pleasure as a byproduct.

But Tia quickly suppressed him with her mechanical rationality.

Then comes... the transformation of spirit and flesh.

Tia quickly raised her soul strength to its maximum, approaching the level of Sequence Three.

Santis narrowed his eyes as he watched Tia's monkey show. The Star Antimony and Philosopher's Stone solution also evaporated wildly in his blood, rapidly increasing the strength of his physical body and soul.

But before he could finish stacking the buff, he saw:

The sun is rising.

— Platinum-gold flames coalesced into wings, and Tia Sulph fluttered her wings, like an angel in fire, closely following the rising sun behind her, heading straight for Santis.

Chapter 422 Projection of the Divine Kingdom

The sun rose quickly, illuminating the entire sky above the Red Hill Woodlands in just a few breaths.

Tia's true form is still human, not some strange spiritual creature. Her wings are simply constructed from golden fire, so it's impossible for her to appear with a large halo as a backdrop.

These lights are essentially the result of Tia's exceptionally rich spirituality freely diffusing into the seawater after it flooded the material world, and then manifesting as dissipating golden fire.

They still retain the characteristics of golden fire, with the high temperature briefly dispelling the moisture and raindrops in the air.

Tia flapped her wings, fastened the scepter to her waist, gripped the Victory Sword, and sniffed the dry air high in the sky, where she smelled the pungent garlic smell of burning star antimony.

She raised her left arm, and a red-eyed raven with silver-white feathers broke through the air and landed steadily on her shoulder.

The moment Santis's gaze fell upon him amidst the dark clouds above, his blood boiled, and the silvery-white luster of mithril danced and leaped across his entire body.

The dark clouds in the sky showed no sign of dissipating; instead, they grew even thicker. The extraordinary elements used these clouds and fog to wrestle with Tia's sun.

For a moment, the north and south sides of the sky were scorching hot and bitterly cold, with the sun and dark clouds clearly distinct.

Santis grinned as he saw Shrike fly onto Tia's shoulder:

"The Raven King of Laurelwood? I think I know your true identity now, Lady Sulph."

"The upside-down, rebellious witch, isn't she? The Church has been searching for you for so long and still hasn't found you... No wonder. That's Peter's Scepter of Saint Simon, isn't it?"

"Who would have thought that the so-called witch was inside the church?"

The more Santis talked about it, the more envious he became.

so good!

He captured the Raven King, the Shrike, and obtained the Scepter of Saint Simon, the Sword of Victory of Ibn Musa, the Sanctuary of Ulrich, and the Perfect Star Antimony given by Jeremiah!

With so many good things happening to one person, reaching Sequence Four is naturally a natural progression.

No, even reaching Sequence Three would be a natural and effortless process—because he was precisely the condition for Tia to reach Sequence Three, and fate had delivered him to her at this moment.

On the other hand, what about him?

After failing to hunt the Silverfrost Dragon Lilith decades ago, his path to advancing to Sequence Three was completely interrupted. He spent decades perfecting his Star Antimony Technique before finally returning to the threshold of Sequence Three.

At this moment.

Tia has found the key to breaking through that obstacle and is slowly flapping her wings in the air around Santis.

Santis also avoided Tia's position. His amplification ritual was incomplete, so he could only hide the weak point of his ritual. The two faced each other in a large circle.

Tia didn't mince words, gripping her Victory Sword tightly, and stated bluntly, "Because I'm different from the start. Perhaps it's fate. And to be honest, the goddess of fortune seems to favor me a little more."

Indeed, she didn't know how she had traveled through time...

“Goddess of Fate, Goddess of Fate. Indeed! She doesn’t seem to favor me much!” After saying this, Santis spoke a few words in a heavily accented northern dialect of the continent, full of emotion.

Tia looked at Shrike and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Shrike cackled, "He said, 'Fuck you, you damn fate bitch!'"

It's clear that the person involved is very emotional.

But when the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength.

Tia immediately smiled, flapping her wings, ready to pounce. "Dragon Hunter, if there were no extraordinary powers in this world, I think you could definitely be a great writer. Your level of civilization is far higher than any graduate of the Literature Department of Ansu National University that I've ever met!"

"Thank you for your kind words..."

Santis said enviously, "To be honest, Sulph, witch. More than eight hundred years have passed since the golden age of the Oak of the Earth. Sulph, if you were alive, you would surely be a remarkable figure in the age of alchemy."

The angelic girl nodded earnestly and said, "I think so too."

She has never been stingy with praise from others.

"But—you must live to see the new era. Respected Miss Witch Sulph. Our struggle is already ordained by fate."

Santis stared intently at Tia, his gaze betraying his envy and jealousy.

“Our feud was recorded in the deep sea. You don’t believe that I will give you the secret manual, nor do you believe that I will not stop you from saving Mistmoon City.”

"That's true."

"So, if you want to accomplish a grand miracle, you must kill me. To reach the origin of knowledge, I must kill you."

"If what you say is true, then in a world without supernatural powers, we might still have a chance to cooperate."

Santis bowed slightly, completing all the rituals around his body. These were miniature rituals, like the runes of a magician in legend, starting from Santis's mind and quickly spreading throughout his body.

Corners of the eyes, midface, jawline, chest, lower abdomen, sides, back...

There were no complicated rituals, nor any strange or bizarre methods; it was pure alchemy, and pure spiritual and physical power.

Santis suddenly laughed:

"But now... Sulph, may fate continue to favor you!"

The two completed the ceremony almost simultaneously.

The moment Santis completed his amplification ritual, the sharp blade of the Victory Sword pierced his skin with a "whoosh" and became stuck inside, unable to move forward or backward.

Tia retrieved her Victory Sword, and then saw the Star Antimony in Santis's hand shatter, drawing down starlight that pierced through the dark clouds and forged into a longsword that slashed straight at Tia's face.

Tia then flapped her wings and retreated, spreading her fingers. Platinum flames flowed from between her five fingers, gathering in the air to form a wheel.

Five fingers together.

The flames shot straight towards Santis.

Santis's physical strength wasn't bad, but it definitely couldn't withstand such extremely high temperatures from the flames.

Temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius are enough to melt almost everything in the material world, and Santis is no exception.

The moment the fire wheels exploded, his skin quickly crystallized into a shiny, smooth layer, then broke through the smoke and dodged the two fire wheels that flew out from Tia's hands.

Santis used the ritual to shield himself from pain and asked with some surprise, "The Golden Fire... and the Trinity?"

Tia said, "I learned it from Rexar."

"President Rexar taught you this? He even taught you this. The goddess of fate is truly favoring you!"

Santis laughed heartily a few times and said, "Rexar is a formidable man; even I might not be able to beat him. But... didn't he teach you not to lose focus when fighting for your life?"

One after another, star antimony particles appeared around Tia, with extremely high purity. As far as Tia could see, there were at least hundreds of kilograms of them.

If they were all detonated, it would be no less than the explosion of a nuclear bomb.

“Indeed, he never taught me,” Tia said. “But I think he probably never had the chance to teach me.”

Santis, driving the star antimony to swirl around Tia, asked with considerable interest, "How so?"

He and Tia have been at odds for so long.

The purpose was this: to cover up the deadly trap he had set for the Star Antimony, and to improve his explosive resistance and physical strength so that he wouldn't die in the Star Antimony explosion.

He even charged towards Tia's Wheel of Flames to attract her attention.

Tia breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Because he fell for my trick and was accidentally killed by me."

Tia's voice was ethereal, more like a church choir singing than her usual relaxed tone.

Santis was slightly taken aback.

Then, behind Tia, strands of shimmering white silk appeared out of thin air and wrapped around her wrists and ankles, but this did not affect her walking. At the same time, the faint phantom of the temple appeared behind her.

Santis was unfamiliar with the Upside-Down Temple, but instinctively sensed danger.

It wasn't a childish "danger" like the Wheel of Flames, but a deadly danger that rushed straight to his soul, so much so that he immediately initiated the ritual to detonate the Star Antimony.

—No response.

The star antimony still exists normally, but the ritual did not take effect.

Not only did the ritual to detonate the star antimony fail to take effect.

Even the ritual used to amplify his body instantly failed. But he was certain he hadn't seen anything like Rexar's "Disintegrate" spell.

Vanished into thin air.

It was like accidentally stumbling upon a divine kingdom in the deep sea.

...The Kingdom of Gods?

The moment Santis thought of this.

The next moment, the cries of doe, the swimming of whales, the croaking of frogs, and the clattering of tin cans were all mixed together in a chaotic manner.

Behind Tia, the silhouette of a circular dome, resembling an ancient Solomon temple, was faintly visible, hidden among the clouds.

Tia swung her Victory Sword and easily pierced Santis's heart with a single strike.

Santis felt a tingling sensation in his chest, followed by intense pain, and his body began to convulse violently.

Immediately, two milky-white threads shot out from the temple, piercing through his eyes and penetrating his brain. His soul was just about to leave his body and was still weak.

If he were in the deep sea or the material world, he would still have a chance to escape and transform into a spirit.

But it's a pity.

Tia's divine kingdom has truly been projected into the material world, and Santis has nowhere to escape.
