A towering battle aura surged from the God of War's body, so intense it seemed to take physical form. Crimson light steamed upward, and even Ren, watching from within the divine realm, could see the sky above changing colors rapidly.

"What's happening?" Ren frowned, looking up at the sky.

"The God of War is here again!" Betty stared at the sky with a grim expression. "About a week before you arrived in the divine realm, something similar happened."

The God of War?

Ren's frown deepened. He glanced at the scenes of mortal warfare before him, then back at the sky. "Could it be because of the war in the mortal realm? Whether the Kingdom of Dawn wins or the Teylir Emirates wins, it should be good news for the God of War, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe the corruption is really severe..."

"Corruption?"

"I don't really know the details. You can ask the Goddess about it later, but probably only after you become a god." Betty sounded somewhat helpless. "I only know bits and pieces, and that's only because of the last battle. I can't know too much either."

"Fair enough. Do you think the Goddess can handle the God of War?" Ren asked with some resignation. Right now, he's truly just one step away from becoming a god. He can feel that his faith power has reached the critical point!

"Of course! The Goddess is an invincible existence!" Betty's words were firm, but Ren could sense she didn't seem to have much confidence.

"God of War, you've overstepped!"

Sensing that the battle aura had begun corrupting her divine realm, the Goddess of Magic frowned slightly. Instantly, the surrounding elements became active.

Wind and thunder roared, lightning and fire clashed—like a heavenly tribulation!

The moment the elemental forces made contact with that crimson battle aura, a tremendous shockwave formed. Terrifying sounds like the roars of gods and demons began echoing through the void. Everything around the Goddess of Magic's divine realm seemed to be hit by the impact, spreading outward in all directions.

In the mortal realm, countless powerful astrologers watched as the stars that had maintained stable orbits for countless ages suddenly began moving erratically. Their faces turned pale with an unprecedented panic.

BOOM—

Realizing that his emanating battle aura was actually at a disadvantage, the God of War snorted coldly. An even more intense battle aura surged forth, like a sea of blood that dyed the entire void red!

The Goddess of Magic wasted no words. Incomparably powerful magic erupted from the planet's core, shooting straight toward the heavens!

In an instant, the entire world seemed to become brilliant and dazzling.

Two forces faced off directly, each side seemingly wanting to suppress and intimidate the other with absolute, supreme pressure.

Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation came through. From within that sea of battle aura came a wild roar, followed by a strange blood beast that burst forth, pouncing toward the Goddess of Magic.

The Goddess of Magic's expression remained unchanged. Her magic surged, directly condensing into a beam of light that shot toward the blood beast.

CRASH—

The massive sound could be heard even through the divine realm's barriers, even across half the void. At least half the gods instantly turned their attention here.

When they saw this scene, every one of them turned pale with shock.

Wasn't the Goddess of Magic, with almost no source of faith, supposed to be among the weakest batch of gods like them? Why could she stand toe-to-toe with the God of War, the strongest among the gods?

If the Goddess of Magic possessed such power, why had she seemed so... during that previous incident?

Just as they were stunned, another massive beam of magical power shot straight toward the God of War.

This strike seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth itself—magic power and divine power mixed with an indescribable force, charging straight ahead.

No matter how many battle aura beasts tried to block it, it was useless.

Seeing that his battle aura couldn't contend with it, the God of War quickly drew his weapon. Divine power surged as he concentrated it at a single point, smashing toward that beam... The beam exploded, but the God of War couldn't help but stagger back several steps. That massive sea of battle aura actually showed signs of beginning to collapse.

The gods who witnessed all this were dumbfounded. Everything happening here far exceeded their expectations.

The Goddess of Magic watched as the God of War again summoned his battle aura, filled with ghostly wails and howls. She frowned slightly as massive magic and divine power began surging. At the same time, threads of faith power within the divine realm also became extremely active.

Ren frowned tightly, not knowing what was happening outside, but soon he noticed changes on the mortal battlefield!

That God of War projection was actually beginning to blur.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn became incredibly excited.

The divine miracle was disappearing!

Even with the divine miracle's blessing, those beastmen had barely managed to charge to the base of the city walls. Without the miracle's blessing, what could they do?

Without needing Lucina to speak, endless magic bombs and rays were already streaking toward the enemies below.

The blizzard quickly disappeared under those brilliant flames, and even the cloud cover vanished.

The view became incredibly clear!

Flames, smoke, debris—everything stimulated the beastmen below!

Without the miracle's blessing, these beastmen no longer had their previous fearless courage. Looking at countless fallen corpses and feeling the scorching heat on their bodies, fear and panic immediately spread through the army. Countless war beasts began charging around wildly...

It was still the same firepower as before, but the beastmen armies now found it impossible to handle.

They couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts, couldn't control the chaotic war beasts, and their protective energy shields were even less able to withstand such terrifying explosions...

Normal creatures simply couldn't survive in such a terrifying magical environment. The violent energy shook beastmen soldiers to death one by one...

As for that terrifying Raging Horn, which had long since mutated into a monster, it had already been blasted to smithereens, scattered in pieces across the battlefield.

The God of War's power had vanished, so naturally its terrifying body couldn't be reclaimed by the God of War either.

With magic bombs falling continuously on their heads, the entire area had turned to scorched earth. Even the incredibly hard Eagle's Nest Pass had been bombarded until rocks flew everywhere. The beastmen's fighting spirit began rapidly fading.

Just like normal ancient armies—once they reached 20% casualties, they would inevitably break into full retreat... They finally realized that facing the terrifying Dawn people, facing these terrifying technological creations, they were like paper. The powerful bodies they had once been proud of meant absolutely nothing in this kind of warfare.

Under the bombardment, they fell into deep confusion and panic. In their final moments of life, they still couldn't understand why such a terrifying scene had appeared before them, why they had ended up on this battlefield, why this war had begun, why they—who had believed so firmly, trained so hard, and stood as top-tier warriors in their tribes—couldn't even touch the enemy's sleeve...

The first wave of attackers, whether elite or common foot soldiers, had all been killed completely. Only then did the soldiers, knights, mages, and clerics still outside the firing range react.

They stared ahead in disbelief, as if looking at the legendary hell itself!

This was hell!

Suddenly, someone in the crowd went insane.

Madness seemed contagious.

A second, a third, a fourth—one after another.

Countless beastmen fell into frenzy, with screams echoing endlessly. Frenzied shouting, frenzied running, frenzied swinging of weapons...
