Chapter 68: The Descendant of Gods

Dolores stood still, staring directly at that devastating pillar of light.

But then.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

Her golden eyes, which had been reflecting the annihilation-bringing ice-blue pillar, were abruptly flooded by an extremely dazzling yet warmly radiant golden light.

“What’s going on?”

Dolores slowly widened her eyes.

Between Dolores and the Ice Snow Dragon, upon the snowfield that had already been cleared—

Without any warning.

A pillar of gold-white light suddenly shot up into the sky.

The appearance of this pillar was extremely abrupt.

No magic circle guided it.

No casting preamble preceded it.

As if a volcano sleeping deep underground had suddenly erupted.

It pierced straight through the heavens.

The terrifying pressure that had dominated the entire scene was completely canceled out by that light pillar at that moment.

Everyone was finally able to stand up again.

They saw that the gold-white light pillar was unimaginably massive.

It had directly blocked the super-rank magic released by the Ice Snow Dragon.

Hum—

There was no deafening explosion.

As the two forces of extreme terror collided, they only emitted a low-frequency hum that made the soul tremble.

Then.

In the snow beneath the gold-white light pillar.

An enormous gold-white magic circle rapidly expanded, spreading to all sides, rotating, blooming.

The patterns on this magic circle—

Were a complexity that no one present had ever seen before.

It emanated an aura of sacredness, majesty, and inviolability.

The Ice Snow Dragon’s blue magic pillar violently hammered against the surface of the gold-white magic circle, trying to tear open a gap.

But.

That magic circle stood as firm as an iron wall, completely unmoved.

Not only that.

The gold-white divine radiance was also continuously eroding and dissolving the blue magic power.

That super-rank magic capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Was gradually completely canceled out by this gold-white magic circle.

Ultimately, it scattered into azure specks of light throughout the air and vanished.

The entire process.

Took only nine breaths.

It blocked it.

It really blocked it.

All the soldiers of the Church Crusade Army were completely stunned.

They stared blankly at the slowly rotating gold-white magic circle ahead.

“Wh… what is that thing?”

The adjutant’s mouth hung wide open.

He didn’t even notice the drool dripping down.

Augustus was equally stunned.

In all his years of life.

He had never seen such an outrageous magic.

It actually…

Forcibly stopped a super-rank magic?

Just what level of power was needed for that?

Dolores stood at the very front.

Closest to the gold-white magic circle.

She could clearly feel.

The power flowing within that magic circle.

It was not magic power.

It was something of a higher level, a higher dimension than magic power.

That aura.

Even made her feel an urge to kneel and worship in awe.

While everyone was still immersed in shock.

The gold-white pillar piercing heaven and earth began to slowly dissipate.

As the pillar gradually faded.

The holy radiance on the ground also dimmed.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

They stared fixedly at the spot where the pillar had disappeared.

Then.

Four figures slowly emerged.

Standing in the very front.

Was a short girl with pink hair, clad in purple-black armor.

Lin Naiyue, holding a longsword, looked around with curiosity.

Next to her.

Stood a similarly armored, expressionless girl—Yuna.

And also a girl wearing gorgeous robes and dressed very similarly to a high-ranking priest of the Church Nation—Cecilia.

Behind them.

Was a little girl in a white Top hat and a gorgeous dress—Dorothy.

The Church Nation people were utterly confused.

That light pillar that had just blocked the super-rank magic…

They were the ones who made it?

Where did these four people even come from?

But…

Their outfits were too strange.

They didn’t look at all like the peerless experts who could cast magic of that level.

Just as questions filled everyone’s minds.

Dolores suddenly felt an extremely intense fluctuation from above her head.

She looked up sharply.

The others also looked up toward the sky.

The next moment.

Everyone was stunned at the same time.

Especially Dolores.

In her trembling golden pupils.

Reflected an image she would never forget for the rest of her life.

High in the sky.

The thick clouds were completely torn apart.

A figure fully bathed in golden divine light.

Was slowly descending from the sky.

The light was too dazzling.

So dazzling that one simply could not see her face clearly.

One could only vaguely make out.

That she was an extremely tall female figure.

Behind her.

Spread a pair of enormous pure white wings.

Every single feather emitted a soft and holy radiance.

Behind her.

There was also a slowly rotating holy halo ring.

Sacred.

Majestic.

Unbeholdable.

The spread wings continuously scattered golden specks of light.

Those specks fell onto the snowy ground.

Melting the ice.

Scattering onto the mutilated corpses of the fallen soldiers.

[Absolute Divinity: Phase 2.]

[Divinity Release.]

This strike from the Ice Snow Dragon had unexpectedly triggered Primrose’s passive skill.

Countless already-dead Church Nation soldiers.

Were resurrected.

They stood up with bewildered looks.

Only those shield-and-sword soldiers whose life essences had been completely drained

Could still not be revived.

The other revived and strengthened Church Nation soldiers also looked up toward the sky.

“Kami…”

“Look! Look up in the sky!”

“Wh… what’s going on?”

“I… wasn’t I already dead?”

“Yeah, what’s happening?”

Dolores felt as if an invisible giant hand was tightly squeezing her heart.

The scene before her.

Was almost exactly the legendary descent of a god.

On her usually calm and slightly immature little face.

For the first time, such intense shock appeared.

Because.

She recognized this posture.

It was exactly the same as the tallest, most sacred statue of the Goddess in the Theocracy Cathedral.

Exactly the same.

That was…

The Goddess.

Primrose.

So the Goddess…

Really was this sacred and beautiful.

But as she watched.

Dolores’ eyes, full of awe and shock, gradually changed.

She couldn’t help but raise her right index finger.

Gently placing it beside her slightly parted lips.

The corners of her mouth and eyes simultaneously curved into a shallow arc.

Like a little greedy cat.

Seeing its favorite treat.

Love at first sight.

At the same time.

Some of the Church Nation soldiers were already crying.

Frantically kneeling on the snow, kowtowing repeatedly.

Meanwhile.

On the other side, floating in mid-air and enjoying the attention of the crowd.

Primrose’s inner thoughts were completely different.

‘Embarrassing, so embarrassing!’

Primrose frantically complained in her heart.

She had almost forgotten.

This damned Group Teleportation Magic…

Every time it appeared, it made such a grand spectacle.

Comes with built-in wings and a holy halo effect.

‘By the way… what’s the situation now?’

This was the first time she had actually cast this Group Teleportation Magic.

Since she wasn’t skilled enough in the operation.

The teleportation target was slightly off.

It seemed she had directly teleported to the heart of the Miracle Snowfield.

Sure enough.

Actual spellcasting in reality was completely different from in the game.

In the game, it relied on program operation.

Players just needed to channel.

But in reality.

She had to actually mobilize her own mental energy and magic power to maintain the stability of the entire spell.

It was like driving a car.

You had to constantly control the steering wheel and gas pedal to ensure the car didn’t leave the road.

Primrose looked down at the ground.

At least.

Mom and the others had successfully teleported over.

Looking farther away.

There was a miserable army of humans.

And a silver-gray twin-tailed girl staring up at her with a dazed, infatuated expression.

Finally.

Primrose set her gaze on the massive Ice Snow Dragon opposite.
