As the cawing of crows rose and fell, flocks of black birds scattered in all directions from beneath the giant hand.

Looking again, Ella had quietly stood on the back of that large hand, holding a long, jet-black sword high in her hand.

A raging fire, more intense than the darkness of night, climbed along the blade and struck down.

The blade flashed in an arc, but this time, the once indestructible Black Flame Blade failed to completely pierce the tough wrist, only managing to cut a narrow gap.

"clang"

A crisp, resounding impact followed, and the recoil caused a momentary tingling sensation in Ella's delicate arm.

But the Titan was also badly hurt; its massive hand was jolted from the air by the enormous impact, causing its body to tilt as well.

What terrifying power!

Hyperion sighed inwardly, turned around, and swung his right arm sharply at Ella.

The stirred air created a hurricane, and Ella immediately flipped over and swooped down, her giant arm grazing the girl's flowing hair as it cut through the air.

But then, another Titan Coeus opened his eyes wide in fury, and a burst of intense light erupted from them.

Divine power converged into a torrent, like a rushing galaxy tearing through the night sky, and a swift and powerful strike blasted Ella's body from thousands of meters in the air into the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment, Titanis lifted his heavy foot and stomped down into the pit where Ella had sunk, as if crushing an insect.

It wasn't the front line, and there were still steam tanks and soldiers of the duchy around, but Chris didn't care about that. He slammed his huge foot into the ground, crushing everything into dust.

"Hmph, the world-destroying witch is nothing special."

With one stomp, there was no further movement below, and Chris's contemptuous laughter immediately resounded throughout the world.

"Four Titans. It seems Mother overestimated this witch's reputation. She hasn't even touched the threshold of mythology. Now it seems she's nothing special."

But Hyperion, the leader, did not let his guard down. He looked down at Chris's feet, and his deep voice suddenly rose an octave, "Don't be careless, Chris!"

"Boom-"

A deep, resounding boom, like the tolling of an ancient bell, struck Chris. He felt something suddenly push against his foot, causing him to lean back and nearly lose his balance.

But beneath his feet, a jet-black sphere bloomed like a flower bud; these were countless enormous tentacles that forcefully lifted the giant elephant's feet off the ground.

"Damn it!"

Chris felt that his reputation had been challenged. He was an old god who once ruled over power, and now someone dared to fight him in a contest of strength.

Without any hesitation, he immediately mustered all his strength and stomped down again until he crushed the dark tentacles into a bloody pulp.

The force of his strike stirred up huge waves in the yellow sand on the ground, but before Chris could laugh again, Hyperion's voice came to his ears.

"Beware!"

ha?

Chris looked up in astonishment, and a tiny figure shot toward his face like a cannonball.

Ella's right hand transformed into a pinkish-white wolf claw, wreathed in jet-black holy fire and divine power infused by tentacles, and she slammed a punch into Chris's cheek.

Although the girl's fist struck the giant titan's face, its size made it seem like a mosquito had been driven into it.

But then huge ripples spread out in circles in the air, and Chris's huge forehead was knocked to the side with a deafening thud.

Chapter Sixty-One: Knights and Saints

"Chris!"

His other brother, Oceanus, rushed forward and slapped out a hand in an attempt to stop the tiny Ella.

Then, the nimble figure moved with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it passed through the gaps between the opponent's fingers.

These Titans are actually much more agile and swift than they appear, but Ayra's agility and sharpness are even greater.

Chris struggled to steady himself, and with his brothers, he opened his furious giant hand to attack Ella, but she was like a shooting star with an unpredictable trajectory, always managing to trace elegant curves as she weaved through the layers of falling giant hands.

She could occasionally leap into the air and slap the towering Titan with her wolf claws infused with divine power, sending it staggering about.

The girl's strength was extraordinary; after several rounds of fighting, she had spiderweb-like cracks appear on Chris's face.

Although this injury is nothing to a Titan Avatar, it's more of a mental annoyance.

It's like having a buzzing mosquito flying around you that you can't catch, and it might even punch you in the face with some inexplicable force. Anyone would find that unbearable.

Chris became increasingly annoyed, and with wide, sweeping movements, he relentlessly pursued Ella's figure as she hovered in mid-air.

"All you do is run away like a bug!? Ella Hevy!!!"

Before he could finish his shout, Ella, riding the wind, had already spun along his arm and flown close, swinging her arm to deliver another punch to his face.

"Hehe, so all you're going to do is take a beating like a punching bag, Chris?"

With a tinkling, teasing laugh, the girl vanished into thin air with a thud.

Chris slapped his own face like he was swatting a mosquito, but instead of catching Ella, he ended up slapping his already cracked cheek again.

The scattered pebbles caused little harm, yet they resembled Chris's shattered dignity.

"Asshole!!!"

He roared uncontrollably at the night sky. Hyperion, noticing that his hot-tempered brother was losing his composure, quickly reminded him, "Calm down, don't let her cloud your judgment."

"……I know."

Chris wasn't stupid; despite his anger, he quickly calmed down.

The witch's voice seemed to be poisoned; listening to it too much would make one lose control of their emotions. Fortunately, Hyperion's reminder prevented him from falling into the trap.

Their massive bodies made it difficult to catch the darting flying insect; their advantage in strength and range inevitably came at the cost of some disadvantage in agility.

Therefore, such methods alone are indeed insufficient to subdue that damned witch; it is time to demonstrate the power of their authority.

On the other side, Ye Xiao and Saintess Tania were still locked in a fierce battle.

Their figures darted swiftly across the towering walls of Shazhou Fortress, their swords and blades constantly sparking brightly.

"Ye Xiao, I remember seeing your name in the company's files."

Tanya gripped the reins with one hand and leaped down along the crumbling wall, the golden light emanating from her longsword drawing a beautiful streak of sword light along the stone wall.

"It says you were once a vanguard of the rebellion against the witch Havil, how did you end up as a servant of that evil god?"

A cold glint snaked its way closer, and the next moment a figure draped in a coat appeared from mid-air.

"I have never fought against a single person, but against wrong things."

"clang"

Ye Xiao blocked Tanya's sword as she thrust it towards her chest.

“You and the company are now the thugs who commit evil deeds.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted in mid-air and delivered a high kick to the other person's side face.

But Tanya was not like those pretty faces who only controlled power but had no combat experience. She was able to react quickly and raise her left arm to block Ye Xiao's powerful whip kick.

"boom"

The recoil caused the two to separate in mid-air. Tanya immediately pulled on the reins, and the unicorn beneath her spread its wings and soared into the sky.

"No wonder the company has very few records of you in your past life. You were just a common soldier before, but now you are so engrossed in the power given to you by the witch that you can't even distinguish right from wrong."

Even if you become powerful for a time, it doesn't change the fact that you are a weakling at heart.

After soaring a hundred meters into the air, Tanya instantly turned her horse around and swooped down.

With the horses galloping, her long sword, like a shooting star chasing the moon, pierced Ye Xiao's chest.

But the beam of golden light only pierced through the phantom of a sword aura.

"Strength or weakness has never been determined by the magnitude of power."

Ye Xiao's leisurely voice suddenly appeared in Tanya's ears. She turned her head in surprise and saw a slash as fast as lightning coming down in front of her.

Tanya hurriedly raised her sword to block, but the heavy force made her tremble even with the unicorn supporting her.

"To possess great power yet use it to invade other people's homes and bully the weak is the most despicable coward."

"Ah."

Tanya scoffed, and her arms suddenly erupted with a powerful holy light that blasted Ye Xiao away.

"So you've come to see yourself as one of that witch's citizens, and been trapped by her sweet talk into this kind of worldly morality."

"That's just a conclusion that fools fools. In the reality of salvation, sacrifice is inevitable. Do you think that if you huddle together and cower in a warm turtle shell, you won't be boiled alive? Haven't you seen piles of corpses, enjoying the blood and sacrifices of those who came before you? Do you think that a beautiful ending to the world can be achieved through wishful thinking?"

"If you're unwilling to give anything and afraid to sacrifice anything, in the end you won't be able to save anything!"

Tanya's expression was resolute as she mounted her horse, leaped into the air, and raised her longsword high.

The golden light behind her split into several sharp holy swords of judgment, which were aimed at Ye Xiao, who was riding the wind and moving at high speed in the air, and shot out fiercely.

Seeing more than a dozen golden lights transform into a net that swept towards him, Ye Xiao swung his staff with his left hand and unleashed his full power of the Wind Control Technique.

The holy swords flew past his agile figure, and then a vibrant incantation swirled, causing ice crystals to surge and condense into a large, mirror-like shield, blocking the last two holy swords that flew towards him.

Immediately after the shield melted, Ye Xiao retaliated by spitting a molten rock spike at his opponent.

Tanya spurred her horse aside, and the Molten Sniper immediately pierced a bottomless hole in the stone wall behind her.

"You make it sound all high and mighty."

Ye Xiao snorted coldly and brandished his long sword, chasing after Tanya.

Swords clashed, the metal scraping together with a piercing shriek. The two men, like two shooting stars constantly flying past each other, fought one after another close to the city wall.

"Your so-called sacrifices are nothing but an excuse for you to flaunt your high position and trample on the weak to the bone marrow. For the people killed by your army, their world was destroyed by you."

"You keep talking about punishing Ella Heviel and the witch of destruction, but all you've given in return is the pity of the elite you call yourself."

Ye Xiao suddenly roared, and the long sword on his arm was suddenly wrapped in black flames.

A slash that swept across the city wall sent Tania and the unicorn beneath her crashing into the wall.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Meteor Lightning

Dust filled the air, and fierce winds howled.

Ye Xiao landed on the ground, his eyes fixed on the ruins where Tanya had fallen.

Despite seizing the opportunity to strike and knock her into the wall, Ye Xiao could still sense Tanya's presence.

Two seconds later, just as he expected, several beams of golden light spilled out from the cracks in the pile of stones.

"boom"

With a loud bang, rubble flew everywhere, and a blonde girl bathed in holy light appeared in the dust.

She knelt on the ground, black flames still lingering on her slightly damaged armor, but she quickly suppressed them with holy light, and they disappeared completely.

The unicorn huddled behind Tanya with its head down, but it didn't have many wounds on its body.

"If this is what you think my enlightenment is, then you are wrong."

Tanya gripped the sword hilt tightly, and the holy light surrounding her slowly gathered on her right back, condensing into a golden wing.

"I have said that my followers and my soldiers are all prepared to sacrifice themselves to defeat the witch."

"me too."

As the words fell, in the distance in the background, thunder rumbled and transformed into a blue dragon churning in the sea of ​​clouds.

That was a celestial phenomenon caused by the Titan Hyperion. He raised his hand and reached into the sky, his five fingers grabbing down lightning and scattering it to the earth.

Coeus opened his mouth and spewed out white ice mist, freezing the land within a ten-mile radius, while Oceanus and Cres joined forces to summon one powerful hurricane after another.

The dimly lit battlefield was filled with lightning and thunder, and the wind and rain were fierce; perhaps even the end of the world couldn't have been more spectacular.

All of this was in order to annihilate the tiny, ghost-like figure, shrouded in mud, that flew and dodged among the giant elephants.

The chaotic celestial phenomena disrupted the temperature and wind flow of the surrounding environment, and the cold air overflowing from the center of the storm even condensed into raindrops, which drifted down to the ruined city walls.

Against the backdrop of the vast and distant scene of the great battle between gods and demons, Ye Xiao and Tania, facing each other in this stone ruin, appeared somewhat desolate and insignificant.

But the cold rain drifting in the desert did not diminish their intense fighting spirit in the slightest.

"Then it seems I questioned your beliefs incorrectly."
