------------------
The Goddesses' arrival stunned the battlefield into breathless silence. Not just Daren, even Haru, Christine, and the Beast Gods stood frozen, their hearts pounding in unison. They'd braced for an apocalypse. With their enemies being ten times their numbers, they had braced for a huge number of casualties.
In front of them, only two paths had remained: either Christine's reinforcements arrived in the nick of time or Celestia allowed Micteya to escape and intervened, but the latter handed the Death Pantheon exactly what they craved.
The Nature Pantheon's arrival was a completely unexpected outcome that broke all their calculations. These tens of thousands of Goddesses radiated an unyielding power that balanced the scales of this war.
Christine turned to Haru, her eyes blazing with shock, "Your Majesty, did the Great Aetherium forge an alliance with the Nature Pantheon as well?"
Haru shook his head, his grip tightening on his scepter, "Among the Gods of Faith, I've only formed an alliance with your Beast God Pantheon. I've had no contact with the Nature Pantheon…"
Christine's mind raced, "Then… could it be thanks to Her Holiness Svetlana?"
Haru paused, his eyes narrowing in calculation. Although Svetlana was not a part of the Nature Pantheon, yet her deep friendship with Elunara was a well-known fact. She'd bled her own Divine Crystal reserves dry to help wake the slumbering Goddesses of the Nature Pantheon.
Christine's expressions melted into relief, her lips curving, "No matter the reason, with the Nature Pantheon aiding us, we're safe. The Death Pantheon should lack the madness to ignite a war against them."
Even a unified Evil Pantheon, with Malakar, Skarion and Micteya working together, was no match for the alliance between the Nature Pantheon, Light Pantheon and Svetlana. Now, if the Great Aetherium with Celestia was added into this alliance, it definitely wouldn't be an issue for them to win.
Haru exhaled inwardly, a slight pang of disappointment slicing through his resolve. He thought that even if he had to sacrifice a few Angels, he would've at least reached the peak of High God Tier and then, he would've revived those Angels as well. In this way, this war would've brought a massive profit for him, but now, it seemed like this war wouldn't continue.
The spectators, who didn't know about the friendship between Haru and Svetlana, were even more confused and speculated about what secrets could this fledgling kingdom hold that could make the Nature Pantheon come out to defend them.
At this point, the Gods of Faith, who wanted to capture Haru in the chaos of this battle and extract his secrets about integrating dozens of Divine Laws harmoniously, were left with a sour taste in their mouths, yet the memory of Haru effortlessly crushing Turs was fresh in everyone's minds.
…
"Damn you!" Micteya snarled, parrying Celestia's strikes. Their battlefield convulsed with Supreme God Tier Divine Power.
"You Angel, are you really willing to kill me and forge an undying vendetta with the Evil Pantheon?!"
Celestia said coldly, "Heretics like you deserve death. Submit to your fate, Micteya and I might make it easy for you."
"Damn Daren!" Micteya thundered, her voice spreading throughout the whole battlefield, "What are you waiting for? No matter who stands with them, charge now! Kill the Great Aetherium's Lord! If I die here, I need his head as the price!"
Micteya's desperation eclipsed her sanity. She didn't care about any consequences and ordered an all-out assault.
Daren's face contorted, but he ordered, "Her Majesty's oracle demands the capture of the Great Aetherium's King! Liberate our Goddess!"
The Gods of Death bellowed with fury, ignoring the Nature Pantheon, and zeroed on Haru.
The Goddess of War thrust her Golden Spear skyward, lips curling with a predatory smile as she said, "These fools and their delusion."
At her words, the Nature Goddesses unsheathed their artifacts and prepared for war.
At this moment, a suffocating aura of destruction appeared in the battlefield alongside a silhouette seated on a colossal throne.
"It's His Majesty, the 'Destruction Lord' Malakar!"
"As expected, our Evil Pantheon hasn't abandoned us Gods of Death!"
Collective gasps were heard throughout the battlefield. The Evil Gods were ecstatic when they saw that the Supreme God of Destruction himself had arrived as reinforcement for them.
Boom!
Malakar used his Divine Power to try breaking the sealed battlefield. His strength, at the late-stage of Supreme God Tier, was far above Micteya.
"Interesting…" Malakar rumbled, his voice infused with his Divine Power, strong enough to grind galaxies to dust. He stood up from his throne and unsheathed his sword, launching a cataclysmic slash.
"Malakar is not even sparing the spectators, run!" Dimensional rifts ripped open as Gods scrambled to escape. Even Haru, Christine, Beast Gods, and even the Gods of Death scattered like leaves to save themselves.
As the attack clashed with the seal, it still failed to break it. At this, Malakar sighed, his gaze fixed on Celestia. Just a few days ago, she was a peak High Goddess, effortless prey for him, yet now, she stood as an intermediate stage Supreme Goddess, rivaling him.
He believed that had the World Laws favored him this much, he would've reached the God Monarch Tier long ago, making the countless Pantheons and Empires kneel in front of him.
He growled, "Micteya is a Supreme Goddess of our Evil Pantheon, unhand her."
"Oh?" Celestia stared at him, "You came at the correct time. Since you want to save her, then come fight me. After killing you, I will become a late stage Supreme Goddess!"
Malakar laughed in anger, "Then let me see how you intend to kill me. This time, Svetlana won't come to save you!"
At this moment, another figure appeared onto the battlefield, "Indeed, Svetlana won't come this time, but what about me?"
"Elunara!!" Malakar was horrified and screamed, his composure fracturing, "You're about to become a peak Supreme Goddess?"
She surveyed him languidly, "Malakar, the Divine War is imminent. I don't care about you, but the conflicts between the Evil Pantheon and the Great Aetherium end today."
"You say it ends today?!"
At this moment, another Supreme God Tier Divine Aura appeared and Skarion, the Supreme God of Slaughter also appeared next to Malakar.
Now, all the three Supreme Gods of the Evil Pantheon have appeared on this battlefield. These two late stage Supreme Gods, coupled with the early stage Supreme God Tier Micteya, the three were enough to contend against Elunara, who was one of the oldest and strongest beings on the Endless Continent.
"Oh, it looks like our 'little' Skarion wants to defy me!" Elunara raised her brows as she looked at Skarion, who was wearing a blood-red robe.
Her calm eyes put an invisible pressure on Skarion, triggering his PTSD by reminding him of his embarrassing days from the Ancient Era when she used to beat him black and blue.
