Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves

More and more eyes of the Divine Spirits converged on Wizard Shen Yu.

With astonishment, vigilance, and confusion.

That Gray Mist seemed to be connected to this mortal, but although the mortal's power was decent, he was still just a mortal.

How could he possibly cause the fall of a Divine Spirit?

Facing the gazes of the gods, Wizard Shen Yu knew that after killing a Divine Spirit, the most crucial moment had arrived!

"Allow me to formally introduce myself." He kept his standing posture, spread his hands slightly, and smiled, "I am a Trial Taker of the All Heavens Divine Court, currently undertaking my personal Ascension Trial in your world, and my trial's mission is to aid all humans in resisting the fate of destruction."

Very simple words.

But also exceedingly blunt.

And under the effect of Magic Power, his words continued to spread outward.

Not only did the gods hear, but other kings present also heard, and even mortals farther away heard as well.

Even if people didn't understand what "All Heavens Divine Court" or "Trial Taker" meant, certain terms were clear to all.

For example, Ascension Trial, for example, aiding humanity to resist the fate of destruction!

And within the grand hall, all those kings and mages instantly looked enlightened, then deeply shocked, and within the shock, felt tremendous joy.

Although they didn't quite grasp the meaning of "All Heavens," the words Divine Court, they heard loud and clear.

They understood—instantly, everything became clear.

Why this suddenly-appearing Magic Emperor could so easily resolve Divine Punishment and even cause a Divine Spirit to completely fall!

Behind him, truly stood a Divine Spirit!

And not just one Divine Spirit; from the sound of it, the force of gods backing him was from beyond the gods they knew!

Even more important, this force of Divine Spirits planned to help them resist the fate of destruction!

This was no longer just a lifeline to clutch at in drowning—it was grabbing hold of a massive ship!

Even Acosta, who already knew some things beforehand, was trembling slightly with excitement at this moment.

After all, knowing and personally witnessing the Mighty Power of the Divine Court—those are entirely different feelings.

However, among the many Divine Spirits now directing their eyes here, some looked confused.

"All Heavens Divine Court?" the voice of a Goddess came, "What is that? In tens of thousands of years, I've never heard of it."

Other Divine Spirits spoke up too.

"Even if it is other Divine Spirits, how could they instantly kill Maledeictus?"

"This Gray Mist Plane is unusual."

"Such a mere mortal dares speak of Ascension to God?"

"How ridiculous—the chasm between gods and mortals cannot be crossed."

"..."

One after another, the voices of the Divine Spirits were all condemnations, mixed with deep confusion.

Wizard Shen Yu showed helplessness on his face.

As if looking at a bunch of illiterates.

The expression was utterly sincere.

If this were any technological world, at the mention of "All Heavens," most would basically grasp the situation.

Even if there was absolutely no Extraordinary Power, people's imagination about the unknown could vastly expand their ability to comprehend.

But these Divine Spirits were clearly immersed in their own world, their own perception.

"So-called All Heavens..."

Wizard Shen Yu was about to explain, when a voice rudely interrupted him.

"Enough!"

A Divine Power far greater than Maledeictus's surged forth, with that voice.

And in an instant, within the grand hall—aside from Wizard Shen Yu, every person still standing suddenly collapsed to the ground!

Even Julia and Acosta, who had cultivated the Demon Pattern Meditation Method and were among the mightiest mages, were no exception.

They simply couldn't resist this level of Divine Power.

Only Wizard Shen Yu.

Although he was very much the focus of attention, Gray Mist had already formed a protective barrier enveloping him.

Still, in Wizard Shen Yu's heart, a heaviness arose.

He looked at the Divine Spirit descending again in the grand hall.

This one—was strong, extremely strong.

Though it was unclear what tier among the gods he belonged to, he was definitely above the rest!

The other Divine Spirits in fact, at this moment, actively withdrew their Divine Power; the God of Disease, Necros, retreated respectfully to the corner of the hall, bowed low to the newly-arrived Divine Spirit, and maintained that posture.

Gone was the attitude from his initial appearance.

And as the Divine Spirit's form fully descended, everyone knew his honorific name.

The Flame God—Igniro!

This made Wizard Shen Yu's heart sink again, since this was indeed a powerful Divine Spirit, but certainly not the strongest.

In all the legends of Divine Spirits that had appeared in this Plane, the highest echelon were the Great Sun God and the Moon Goddess.

But at this moment, Igniro's gaze wasn't on Wizard Shen Yu at all.

The Flame God, burning with roaring Divine Power, after descending, stared intensely at the still-open Gray Mist Space!

"Mortals have no right to speak with us. If you claim to be of the Divine Court, then let a god come forth!" His voice rumbled and spread.

Yet in the Gray Mist Space, there was dead silence, not a hint of movement.

As though whoever was within simply didn't care.

Igniro's temper was clearly terrible; the temperature all around kept growing more scorching, soaring at an astonishing rate.

Not just here—even the entire Magic Imperial Capital, spanning far beyond, was heating up.

It seemed that the next moment, a true extinction-level Divine Punishment would descend and erase the whole Magic Empire and countless souls entirely!
