Chapter 894: A Battle to Decide the Fate of the World
All together now, that's fine, this battle will decide the fate of this world.
Not only Fang Jie thought of this, the other gods did too. However, they thought more than Fang Jie because they were not on the same path. In this battle, whoever survives will become the unique god of the world.
If they can control the emergence of other gods, then they can decide the fate of the world at that time.
Now their thoughts are no longer what they used to be; knowing the importance of followers, how could they allow new gods to emerge? The gods of the future will not be too many, but they will definitely be stronger than now.
Especially after witnessing Fang Jie's strength, they became even more eager for power.
Of course, the undead must be suppressed; they absolutely cannot allow new undead gods to appear.
"One against eight, indeed my strength is lacking. But if they are injured, then facing eight of them, although difficult, is not entirely without chance." Fang Jie smiled while defending against attacks from all around.
"It's a pity this time is different, I'm not alone."
Indeed, Fang Jie was not alone, he had the Dead Soul Bone Dragon.
In the surrounding void, five massive Dead Soul Bone Dragons appeared, their strength quaking the void. Although they used Fang Jie's laws, the Dead Soul Bone Dragons could only carry them partially, not fully.
However, these Dead Soul Bone Dragons still reached god-level strength, not inferior to the intact gods originally in this world.
Now appearing all at once, they were in a bind. At least five gods were needed to fend them off. Only three remained to attack, but are these three a match for Fang Jie? It seemed extremely difficult now.
"Hold them off, give me time, we must win this time, or we have no future."
Though they were gods, and gods might have a chance of resurrection, they absolutely didn't believe Fang Jie would give them such a chance.
These gods were natives of this world, and their followers existed only here. Cleansing this world wouldn't be difficult, they didn't have the ability to spread faith elsewhere.
The words of the Light God, although making the other gods grumble inside, made them realize they must resist.
Thus, seven gods exerted their most formidable strength to resist the Dead Soul Bone Dragons and entangled Fang Jie.
Even the Evil God, who was just injured, endured the pain and released a blood-red light towards Fang Jie.
"Really persistent, huh." Fang Jie looked uninterested at the Light God in the distance gathering strength. Spots of light from all around converged, gradually forming a massive light ball.
This was the Light God's finishing move, using his divine power as a primer to forcibly draw believers' faith.
Any kind of belief was forcibly integrated and then ignited. The Light God previously used this move to severely injure the Fallen God, allowing Fang Jie to take action against him.
Otherwise, against the Fallen God's adversary, Fang Jie might not have been able to eliminate him silently.
If exposed prematurely, the result would be like it is now.
As for the Dead Soul Bone Dragons, Fang Jie had only five, not because he didn't want more, but because the others weren't fully matured yet.
Although he absorbed divine souls, nurturing and elevating takes time. Bringing them out now would be like serving dishes, useless. This was why Fang Jie felt a bit rushed before.
Otherwise, releasing ten god-level Dead Soul Bone Dragons, even in a frontal clash, Fang Jie would not be worried about failure.
It didn't take long before a massive light ball was formed and shot directly at Fang Jie.
The speed was incredibly fast, making it difficult for ordinary gods to dodge, not to mention the locking feature. "Everyone move aside, let me." With a shout from the Light God, all the gods yielded.
Yet Fang Jie didn't allow the Dead Soul Bone Dragons to block it but stayed in place.
With a thought, a bunch of white lotuses blossomed around Fang Jie, spinning around him. The next moment, the light ball approached, directly colliding with the lotuses, casting the void into brightness.
However, the lotuses expanded, miraculously blocking the attack.
The light ball gradually shrank while only three lotuses broke apart, eventually disappearing. Around Fang Jie, over a dozen lotuses still remained, deepening the gods' despair.
"Damn, what divine art is this, how did you do it?"
"Haha, I wasn't idle, this is my White Lotus Protection, not bad right?"
Indeed, Fang Jie wasn't just causing trouble; his subordinates and avatars did that. Fang Jie wasn't idle; on the contrary, he focused intensely, finally researching a new divine art.
This divine art was the White Lotus Protection, a specialized defensive divine art.
Frankly, such defensive divine arts were rare, especially high-strength ones. If not inherently possessed, few would spend immense time studying them; most study offensive ones instead.
In the marketplace, such defensive divine arts didn't exist; one had to research on their own.
For lower gods with weak divine power, having defensive divine arts is rare.
The White Lotus Protection was a defense spell Fang Jie developed, incorporating four of his laws and forming a perfect and comprehensive special cycle.
Ordinarily, it condenses white lotuses, and in the face of danger, they autonomously defend.
At Fang Jie's current capability, at most thirty white lotuses can be condensed.
However, even with these thirty, Fang Jie feels that unless a middle god takes it seriously, they still couldn't break through it in one hit. Due to time constraints, Fang Jie couldn't maximize condensation. Still, it was enough to fend off the Light God's attack.
After this strike, the Light God's Divine Power Crystal was depleted, and his own divine power was nearly exhausted.
Continuing the battle, the Light God could declare himself combat incapable.
He never thought his full-force strike could be so easily blocked, now he was stunned. But while the Light God was in shock, Fang Jie didn't pause or refrain from attacking.
In the void, a Soul-breaking Sword launched directly following Fang Jie's gaze.
The Light God suddenly realized, but it was too late, and he was already low on divine power. In the end, all he could do was watch his divine soul get struck, bringing about immense pain.
At this point, the Light God was severely injured. Combined with previous injuries, the Light God felt survival was unlikely. If he could escape now and immediately enter slumber, perhaps there was still hope.
