His voice was filled with complex emotions: "In the end, humanity still has to rely on the power of the gods."

At the same time, in the desert, the duchy's personnel were rapidly dismantling the thick tents that formed a large circle around the rear of the military camp.

As the covering was removed, four enormous stone statues were revealed.

The four statues are in strange poses; they are not standing, but crouching on the ground, their bodies forming a ball shape.

Their bodies were wrapped in dense, black, tentacle-like things. When they saw the light again, these tentacles twitched, expanding and contracting, as if they were injecting something into the curled-up stone statue.

The four stone statues, which already occupied a large area, began to move as if they were alive, and their stiff heads and limbs began to stretch out.

They rose slowly from the ground like giant pillars supporting the sky, until their towering figures pierced the clouds.

The four figures stood together, obscuring the sky, as if a wall of the world had risen on the horizon.

The majestic and magnificent scene immediately drew the attention of the soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

An intense sense of oppression spread throughout the area, and beams of demonic light appeared on the surface of the statue, slowly outlining intricate patterns.

"Witch's servants, since you have chosen to involve the power of the gods in the war, then don't blame us for our decision."

Tanya grabbed the unicorn's head and flew into the sky to avoid the countless swaying, monstrous hands on the ground.

Golden light burst forth from her body, like a proud star floating high above the battlefield, atop the walls of the Sandbar Fortress.

Behind her, the four slowly awakening statues also opened their eyes one after another.

"Barbarians of the Loren Empire, in the third offensive, the Duchy will extinguish the flames of your savagery completely!"

Chapter 59 When Soldiers Come, Generals Will Block Them

Only then did Ye Xiao, holding the hilt of a sword, step out from beside Greta at the fortress gate.

"It seems the Duchy's intelligence system isn't entirely leaky. At least I only just found out about these four things. Are they the so-called Old Gods?"

"Why are you only arriving now?"

Greta expressed her dissatisfaction with Ye Xiao's attitude of slacking off in the back.

"I just suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of. It's a real pity that I couldn't make a dazzling appearance with you."

Ye Xiao shrugged. "But now that things are resolved, you can take a break."

"I'm not so tired from using so little divine power."

Greta crossed her arms. "Besides, you can't handle those four Titan avatars."

"An avatar...?"

"They are not the true gods, but they can act as incarnations to bear the power projected by the old gods. These are the weapons that the old gods used to interfere with the present world and exterminate those races that they despised."

"During the War of Order, in order to avoid devastating the mortal realm too much, the gods' main battlefield was in the void, but they did not want to let go of the slaughter of the races under the enemy's command, so this thing came about."

"The reason it is being used now is probably because they are hiding their true colors and are afraid of Ella. They don't want the real Ella to put herself in danger, so they have resorted to this method."

"A bunch of cowardly rats who want to fight but are actually cowardly."

Ye Xiao was displeased upon hearing this.

As they spoke, the four Titan avatars began to approach the battlefield from the distant rear. These colossal beings, each thousands of meters tall, could leap over several mountain peaks with a single stride.

The divine light emanating from his eyes swept across the battlefield, and the dazzling beams of light, as bright as the sun, instantly incinerated large swathes of soldiers on the ground into ashes.

The fortress walls were pierced through by divine light as easily as paper, and the magical cannons they carried scattered like snowflakes.

The balance of power on the battlefield seemed to have shifted again at this moment.

The army of the duchy was instantly filled with fighting spirit upon seeing divine assistance, and the soldiers of Loren couldn't help but cry out in surprise as they watched the colossal elephant, which was far beyond human reach, approach step by step.

"Gods above, what is that?!"

"It's over... How are we supposed to fight now..."

"This is something that humans simply cannot contend with..."

Despair began to creep onto their faces. If the war before was still a war on the human level, then from the moment the colossal Titans joined the fray, their will to fight inevitably began to waver.

"The cowardly Loren, feeling the pressure of the true god, dares not act rashly?"

Tanya saw that Ye Xiao and Greta had stopped moving under the city gate, as if they were stunned, and then she curled up her arrogant lips.

The four Titan incarnations are each equivalent to a god descending to earth. Even if the witch Ella Heviel were to come in person, she would surely perish here, let alone these mere few subordinate gods.

But before she could finish speaking, a beam of light flew diagonally from the ground. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and pulled on the reins to the side, narrowly avoiding the swift gale.

"You're still going to keep chattering away in the sky, aren't you?"

Ye Xiao's impatient voice came from below, "Why are you talking so much nonsense when you're fighting a war?"

"Extremely rude!"

Tanya gritted her teeth and looked at the black-clad swordsman at the city gate. "You're about to die and you still don't know it. All you have left is this last bit of energy to shout."

"The witch you worship has been nowhere to be seen since the start of the war. She must have fled in terror long ago. Only you bunch of fools are still kept in the dark, making pointless sacrifices!"

"Hey, this little Byd is still trying to demoralize our troops."

Ye Xiao couldn't help but sneer, "Why do you think I'm guarding this place?"

Unpleasant and vulgar words reached Tania's ears, her expression changed, and she was about to retort when a light and melodious voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"...You just said, who ran away?"

The calm words caused Tanya to instantly react like a cat with its fur standing on end, pulling on the reins and flying dozens of meters backward.

She looked up in surprise and saw a silver-haired girl in a white dress who had appeared on the top of the tower of Sand Island Fortress.

Ella crossed her arms, her crimson eyes still exuding an eerie and alluring charm.

"Ella-Havie!!!"

Unexpectedly, the moment Ella appeared, a deep roar like thunder came from the other side of the sky.

The majestic Titan avatar opened its mouth, its eyes, brimming with divine light, fixed on Ella, seemingly bursting with boundless rage.

"This time you failed to reach the mythical realm, and we will surely make you perish here!!!"

Ella tilted her head; the gods behind the four stone elephants seemed to harbor additional hatred towards her.

As they spoke, the four giant elephants ignored the mortals on the battlefield and strode towards Ella's castle.

"It shows you have some backbone to come out at this time."

Although the unsettling aura emanating from Ella made Tanya's skin crawl, with the four Titan avatars backing her up, her voice became even more arrogant: "You can rest assured, we are taking you more seriously than ever before."

"Really."

Ella glanced at Tanya, who immediately trembled and flew backward dozens of meters on guard.

Since she's already summoned the Titan, there's no need for her to fight this evil god.

Ella ignored Tanya, a sudden gust of wind rose around her, carrying her petite figure into the sky, passing over Tanya's head and heading straight for the four giant statues.

Dealing with these four Titan avatars is clearly more important than dealing with the talkative Tania.

Seeing that the world-destroying witch didn't care about her at all, Tanya actually felt a little relieved.

"Holy Maiden!?"

"Oh! Our Holy Maiden has finally arrived!"

On the ground and on the crumbling city walls, the Loren soldiers saw the tiny figure soaring through the air. Even though they couldn't make out its features, they knew it was their Holy Maiden.

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and Holman took the opportunity to give a passionate mobilization speech from the top of the wall.

When Tanya saw that Loren's troops, who had initially looked desperate, had suddenly regained their fighting spirit, a look of disgust flashed across her face.

That damned witch, she's corrupting people's hearts more and more deeply.

These people, who no longer have their own will, can no longer be regarded as compatriots. Even if we kill the witch and her gang of evils, they might still cause trouble. They must be completely eliminated.

She looked up at Holman, who was still shouting loudly from the wall atop the amplification array, and a murderous intent rose within her.

She couldn't deal with the world-destroying witch, but she could take down this mouthpiece spreading seductive rumors right now.

Once the idea was in mind, Tanya didn't hesitate to steer her unicorn into a charge from the air.

The sword in her hand emitted a dazzling golden light, drawing a straight line that pierced the top of the tower where Holman was located.

But just as her sword was about to strike, a cold glint flashed, and a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"clang"

Sparks flew as Ye Xiao blocked Tania's sword from mid-air, his eyes flashing with murderous intent beneath his disheveled bangs.

"I think you really consider yourself a free spirit?"

"Ella doesn't care about you, simply because your opponent is me."

Chapter Sixty: The Giant and the Witch

The sword light that swept across the horizon pierced the city wall, and the aftershocks of Ye Xiao and Tania's battle instantly shattered the surrounding high walls.

Greta stood guard at the gate, and together with Encia, the waves she summoned blocked the Duchy's massive army.

The deafening fighting mingled with the roar of cannons, and the clashing of swords and axes illuminated the night sky with their cold glint.

On the ravaged land lay rows of fallen soldiers, like waves of wheat, countless warriors trampling over the corpses of their comrades. Those below the skilled rank were nothing more than cannon fodder, and even the proficient and expert ranks were no different from weeds caught in the storm.

High-level magic and divine arts capable of collapsing cities bloomed everywhere, like grand fireworks at a celebration; the exploding shells were denser than the stars in the night sky, forming a dazzling galaxy of gunpowder.

The three fortresses were engulfed in flames, and the massive airships, amidst the barrage of cannon fire, seemed like falling star beasts pressing down from the sky.

The battle line stretched for tens of kilometers, thick with the smoke of gunpowder. Regardless of which side won, all the surviving soldiers were destined to etch this tragic night into their memories.

Meanwhile, on both sides of the battlefield, Ella, her lithe figure floating in the sky, was confronting the four colossal elephants that towered into the clouds.

Four Titans, their towering bodies as vast as mountains, stand side by side on the edge of the desert, their expansive arms obscuring the stars.

Compared to them, the silver-haired girl's tiny body was like an insignificant grain of rice.

Despite the vast difference in size, the four Titans, their eyes gleaming with divine light, dared not underestimate the girl.

For these ancient gods who knew the truth of history, the infamous witch of destruction was a curse that had been passed down through the ages.

"Before we begin, the four of you might as well state your names."

A gentle smile graced Ella's face, her eyes sparkling with understanding. "This way, I'll know which ones became my defeated foe."

“You’re still as arrogant as ever, Ella Haviere.”

The Titan in the middle opened its mouth, and its powerful voice echoed across the sky, "Even hundreds or thousands of lifetimes of death cannot teach a bastard like you a lesson."

"It sounds as if you've participated in the cycle of reincarnation with me."

Ella put one hand on her hip and said, "Just because you've made up for a few memories of how I was defeated, you think you can compare to me?"

"Ah."

Titan let out a cold snort, and white steam billowed out from his enormous mouth, which seemed capable of swallowing the sun and moon.

"As you wish, you world-destroying witch, you shall remember well the title of the god who will destroy you from this world, and you shall also be the gods who will be remembered by the world and returned to the earth."

"I am Hyperion, the god who holds the sun, moon and stars."

"I am Oceanus, the god who rules over mountains, rivers, lakes and seas."

"I am Koeus, the god of the north and the dawn."

"I am Chris, the god of power and war."

"Ayla Heviel, we will end your fate in this world. You will never have the chance to turn back before you reach the mythical realm!"

"You and your empire, your countless servants, everything you possess and corrupt... will all vanish tonight!!!"

With a thunderous roar, the Titan Hyperion, the leader, stretched out his massive hand and brought it down on Ayra.

The enormous hand, like Mount Tai pressing down, dispersed the dark clouds and obscured the vast starlight.

Looking at the inescapable giant hand above her head, Ella vaguely felt that this was perhaps what the Five Finger Mountain in the mythology of Earth felt like.

But this palm strike naturally missed Ella; even the immense wind pressure from the blow sent the soldiers flying like ants.

"quack--"
