Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 325 Thunder Spear, Another Golden Titan
The knights of the Knights' Hall and the mages of the Trial Hall almost simultaneously turned their gazes toward the graceful and majestic figure on the distant high platform—the Temple Mother, Pamis.

The majesty and power of the Parthenon did not belong solely to the supreme goddess.

This temple matriarch, who usually remains hidden behind the radiance of the goddess and holds sway over faith and inheritance, possesses an unfathomable hidden power.

Enough to hold up the sky even when it collapses!
Those few forbidden spell elders who severely injured the Golden Titan were senior giants who had long since retired from the Knights Hall and the Judgment Hall.

They simply relinquished their public positions and returned to their respective long-established, secluded families to cultivate themselves and seek higher realms.

However, they never truly left Parthenon.

Their roots, their vows, and their inextricable connection with this sacred land have long bound their fate to the rise and fall of the temple.

They are one of the most powerful trump cards in the Temple Mother's hands, and the ultimate bulwark of power protecting the temple.

As the once invincible Golden Titan was severely wounded by the combined forces, its massive body bearing terrible scars, the suffocating dark mist in the sky gradually thinned and dissipated, receding from the sacred mountain like a receding tide.

The warm sunlight shone down again, illuminating the ruins in the square and seemingly dispelling the shadow of death that shrouded everyone's hearts.

The sense of relief at surviving the ordeal left many people nearly exhausted. Their tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and their heavy breathing was mixed with an irrepressible joy.

The temple's matriarch, Pamis, stood high above, her face still cold and stern.

She would never give the enemy any chance to breathe.

Then a cool, authoritative voice rang out again: "Capture him! We cannot let him escape!"

Upon hearing this, the elders who had been using forbidden spells exchanged glances and instantly reached a tacit understanding.

Such an opportunity to severely injure an emperor-level being is a once-in-a-millennium chance. If he could capture or completely seal him away, it would be an incomparably glorious victory for Parthenon, enough to deter all the villains in the world.

They began to gather that terrifying forbidden energy around them once again, preparing to deliver a final, fatal blow to the Golden Titan, or to lay down an inescapable seal.

However, just as the scales of victory seemed to have tipped completely—

A sudden change occurred!

A pure, magnificent, and seemingly radiant pillar of light, originating from the deepest part of a distant starry sea, suddenly tore through the clouds without warning. As if by divine mercy, it fell straight down and precisely enveloped the heavily damaged body of the Golden Titan!

This starlight contains an indescribable, boundless vitality.

Bathed in this sacred light, the massive wounds on the Golden Titan's body, which were originally hideous and terrifying and swirling with destructive energy, began to heal at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye!

The shattered divine metal body was restored to its original state, and its dim light became dazzling again, even brighter than before!
Its listless aura rebounded rapidly as if injected with a stimulant, and in the blink of an eye it returned to its peak state, or even... better!
This sudden reversal froze the joy on everyone's faces, turning it into unbelievable horror!
Before they could recover from this shocking turn of events, the dark mist that had already receded seemed to be pushed back by an invisible giant hand, surging back with an even more turbulent and violent force, blotting out the sky and the sun, as if to drag the entire sacred mountain into eternal night!

This time, however, the darkest mist was no longer just filled with deathly silence and annihilation; it was also mixed with countless violent and incomparable destructive lightning bolts!

Within the pitch-black fog, countless purplish-black electric snakes thrashed and roared wildly, emitting deafening hiss.

“Rumble——!!!”

The thunder roared, tearing the sky apart! Then, a purplish-black spear, extremely condensed and composed entirely of the purest destructive lightning, burst forth from the depths of the mixed netherworld mist!

It charged straight at the old woman who had just cast the forbidden spell "Dust Returns to the Brahma Sunflower" and was still recovering her breath!

The old woman's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, despair appeared on her gaunt face.

She had just used all her strength to cast a forbidden spell, and her magic was at its lowest point.

The super-level defensive magic hastily erected was as fragile as paper before this thunderous spear containing the emperor's wrath!
"Pfft——!"

Nothing stands in the way.

That terrifying spear of lightning instantly pierced through all the defenses the old woman had hastily erected, mercilessly penetrating her chest!

The elder who had just forced the emperor to retreat suddenly stiffened, and the light in his eyes quickly went out like a candle flickering in the wind.

She looked down in disbelief at the huge, charred, smoking hole in her chest, and then, losing all support, her body plummeted helplessly from the sky...

A powerful forbidden spell mage was instantly killed in a single exchange!

As the thunder roared more and more violently between heaven and earth, a colossal figure, even larger and more terrifying, exuding a terrifying aura far surpassing that of the previous Golden Titan, slowly stepped out from within the endless vortex of clouds interwoven with mist and lightning.

Yet another emperor!
Moreover, its oppressive aura is even stronger than that of the previous Golden Titan!

Its mountain-like silhouette appeared and disappeared amidst the lightning and thunder, as if it were the source of all destruction.

The Golden Titan, who had just been fully healed by the Starshine, let out a roar filled with endless humiliation and rage, standing shoulder to shoulder with the newly appeared terrifying emperor.

The two emperor-level beings coldly locked their gazes on the Parthenon below, and at the same time took a step forward, bringing with them a devastating wave of death, and approached once again!

The newly ignited flame of hope was instantly extinguished.

Suffocating despair once again enveloped the entire Parthenon.

And this newly appeared Titan is none other than Zeus, the King of Gods who wields thunder among the Golden Titans!
Its body is even larger, as if it has been tempered by billions of thunderbolts, presenting a sacred pattern of dark gold and azure intertwined.

Countless destructive lightning bolts coiled around his limbs and bones like a docile swarm of snakes, constantly exploding and splashing, illuminating him as if a thunder god had descended to earth.

The void on which it stood was slightly distorted, filled with a suffocating divine might, which was the manifestation of the purest and most extreme laws of thunder, as if it itself were the embodiment of divine punishment.

However, what is even more striking is the slender figure standing on the shoulder of this thunderous emperor.

She was a woman draped in a long, star-studded dress, her beauty otherworldly, her long silver hair flowing in the wind.

Her eyes were as clear as the purest crystal, and she was surrounded by soft starlight. She was none other than Soraka, the daughter of the stars.

The pure starlight that just fell and instantly healed all the wounds of the Golden Titan Hades was from her hand.
