"Lord Shiva will lose."
"Although Lord Shiva losing may not sound like anything too extraordinary, since there seems to be Ophis and Great Red as a fallback."
"But what if I told all of you that even Ophis and Great Red would be powerless?"
The young god spoke words that could be considered ruthless in every sense.
"What!?"
All the gods panicked a little upon hearing that.
Because they quickly realized one fact: if Ophis and Great Red could solve this problem with relative ease, then the existence before them should also be able to barely solve it. In that case, why would there be any need to summon all of them here?
"That does make sense. However, forgive my limited vision, but the one currently fighting Lord Shiva should be the otherworldly existence you mentioned, correct? What level of combat power does he possess?"
Odin asked the question every god cared about most.
"Great Red's level."
The young god gave an answer that made all the gods suck in a cold breath.
Great Red's level?!
That mechanical life-form, which looked more like a strange creature wrapped in metal than anything majestic or imposing like a dragon, actually possessed strength on Great Red's level?!
Great Red was the true uncrowned king. He did not hold a world ranking simply because he rarely appeared in the world.
If they truly fought, even Ophis, who was currently considered number one in the world, would not be Great Red's opponent.
That mechanical life-form had Great Red-level power?
If these words had not come from the Biblical God, probably no one would have believed them.
"Although unfortunate, this is the truth."
"Heavenly King Lugatim. That is his name."
"Other than his own overwhelming strength, there is something even more important."
"He is actually the subordinate of an evil god from another world. And that otherworldly evil god possesses strength above his."
The young god spoke calmly.
Within this sealed space, nothing he said would leak outside.
One stone stirred a thousand waves.
The young god's words set off a storm among all the gods present.
"What!?"
"An existence on the same level as Great Red is only someone else's subordinate?!"
It had to be said, this news was far too shocking for most gods.
Gods were called gods, but in the end, they were merely a type of higher life-form. They naturally felt awe and envy toward beings such as Ophis and Great Red, who were born unimaginably powerful.
Now, an existence stronger than the two beings they had always believed to be the strongest had suddenly appeared.
No wonder they were so shocked.
It was like...
You had always believed you were eating rice, then after a long time, someone suddenly told you that what you had been eating all along was actually shit.
It was shocking, but after thinking about it for a long time, you realized that this explanation somehow made sense.
Otherwise, why would the Biblical God need to personally take action?
"Hey! Look over there! Lord Shiva seems like he's about to lose!"
At last, one god noticed the situation on Shiva's side.
Just now, they had been too busy being shocked. Clearly, Shiva's situation was what they should be worrying about more.
The stronger existence mentioned by the Biblical God had not appeared yet, after all.
Since he had called them here for discussion, that stronger existence was probably an issue to be handled afterward.
But Shiva was currently fighting on the front line. Obviously, they should focus on the immediate crisis first and get through the difficulty before anything else.
"It seems that person was correct. For even Shiva to be pushed this far, the enemy can only be on Great Red's level."
The old monkey wearing sunglasses took them off for the first time in a long while. Of course, he still did not let go of the pipe in his hand.
Although Shiva still seemed to have fighting spirit, it was obvious that he had completely fallen into a disadvantage.
"Do not worry."
The young god's tone was calm.
"Shiva went there because I asked him to. Naturally, I will guarantee his safety."
"Wait here for a moment."
After saying this, the young god's figure gradually disappeared from the meeting venue.
Lugatim?
Of course he had only provoked him because he was confident he could defeat him.
As for battles he actively chose to start, his odds of victory would never fall below ninety percent.
...
After seeing the young god leave, many gods in the venue let out a sigh of relief.
Although the young god had not shown any hostility toward them, just from the difference in level, they could feel the enormous gap between them.
They were simply not existences of the same dimension.
A little rabbit before a tiger was the same. If it did not notice the tiger, that was one thing. But the moment it noticed, it would instantly go limp.
However, they had clearly relaxed too early.
The young god had only just left when a crystal dragon slowly descended from the sky.
Majestic Star Dragon.
"This is... the crystal dragon that beat Indra senseless just now. Is she already back? What happened to Indra?"
Majestic Star Dragon had left an indelible impression on most of the gods. It was likely that the list of beings every major pantheon must never provoke would soon gain another name: Majestic Star Dragon.
"He said... I should watch all of you..."
The crystal girl, radiating the light of salvation, spoke softly.
"Watch us?"
The gods' expressions became very subtle.
Why did that sound like she was watching prisoners?
They were gods, after all.
"I... do not like troublesome things..."
The crystal girl continued.
"So?"
One god could not help asking. For some reason, he had a very bad feeling.
"So, all of you should stay here and not move."
The crystal girl said this.
After those words fell, the stardust particles around her body suddenly spread outward, and she transformed back into the form of a massive crystal dragon.
For now, Majestic Star Dragon only acted according to Anos's orders. Her own subjective will was not as active as Mana's.
This time was the same.
Anos had told her to watch these gods, so she adopted the simplest, most direct, and most effective method.
[Light of Salvation!]
The starlit light of salvation spread across the meeting venue.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!
Sounds of bodies falling, some light and some heavy, rang out across the venue.
Because their original postures were different, their falling postures after being rendered powerless were also different, and so the sounds they made varied in volume.
No matter how powerful a god was, as long as they had not reached Shiva's level, all were treated equally before Majestic Star Dragon.
Even Indra had directly collapsed into a durable, bald punching bag after losing his power. Among those present, there was no god stronger than Indra.
"This power is..."
Zeus revealed a helpless smile.
Now he understood why Indra had been beaten up so badly by this girl earlier.
With this level of power, it would not be strange no matter who she beat up.
