Chapter 234 The Name of the Transcendent

Only through combat can one truly understand how formidable an enemy is.

The spellcasters of the six sacred domains are no ordinary individuals; many are names that have been passed down through history. However, even when they joined forces, they could not stop the orc guardians in the slightest.

The threat of destroying the capital is no joke.

King Alfred couldn't sleep all night and could only hope to prepare for both possibilities. If a divine being intervened and sent the other party away, that would be the best outcome. If something unexpected happened, his only option would be to besiege them.

At that time, the safety of the Violet Capital will be difficult to guarantee.

Regarding the proposal to seek assistance, most neighboring countries are currently taking a wait-and-see approach. The losses suffered by Violet alone are not enough to unite all human nations in a common hatred.

Unless the orcs commit acts that incur divine and popular wrath, this can be used as a pretext for a joint attack.

"Your Majesty, Princess Dorothy has responded that the divine beings have set off." The bald female attendant prostrated herself before the man on the throne.

"Very good! Prepare to receive him and provide him with everything he needs." King Alfred gave the order.

Shortly after the order was given, a streak of light descended from the sky. It moved so fast that the palace's protective barrier didn't react at all.

It wasn't until the black-haired boy voluntarily removed his hood and slowly walked towards the main hall that the belatedly aware attendant hurriedly reported to the king.

"I heard someone is trying to cause me trouble!" Tai'an spoke up, his voice amplified by a level 0 magic amplification technique, resounding throughout the hall.

"Yes! What a blind fool! But he seems quite strong; none of our men could match him individually." Alfred rose from his throne and slowly descended the steps. "Since you've decided to marry my daughter, I will be your elder from now on. Please call me Uncle for now; there's no need to be so formal."

A simple hug broke the ice between the two.

Alfred promised on the spot that if Taian could resolve the crisis, he could choose any treasure from the royal treasury.

"How about three things?" Tai'an knew that the Violet royal family had a rich background, so he didn't hesitate to take the opportunity to raise his demands.

"You little rascal, you're quite the smooth talker..." Alfred's expression was conflicted, his brows furrowed. "Fine! I agree! Consider it Dorothy's dowry! You won't get any gifts when you get married."

"Okay!" Tai'an said with a smile.

Alfred flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back: "Why don't you take a day off and get yourself in better shape?"

"No need, let's just fight!"

The sooner the fight ends, the sooner it's over; Tai'an doesn't want to keep this on his mind.

……

The land was ravaged; the great battle between the Holy Realm experts had destroyed forests for miles around, turning the land into a desert.

To restore it to its original state, it would take at least a master-level druid several months of work.

By the campfire, Kruman, the guardian of the Behemoth God, had just finished eating and looked at the three Saints beside him: the Minotaur Bald, the Foxman Shet, and the Lion Prince Born.

Of the six holy domains that came with them, two had already perished. If the divine beings did not intervene, their attack on the capital would inevitably be met with a siege by the humans. Considering the overwhelming odds, he believed he could easily protect himself, but the remaining three would find it difficult to escape unscathed.

"Here they come!" Kruman picked up his battle axe and stood up from the campfire.

A giant magic carpet hovered in the sky, with two figures, one old and one young, looking down at the woodland below from above.

The court's chief mage, Silas, personally guided Tai'an. Simultaneously, a recording spell was used to broadcast the event live.

Any battle involving a deity is invaluable. Moreover, the opponent is a figure at the pinnacle of both martial arts and spellcasting. Regardless of the outcome, this battle is destined to be recorded in history.

however…

Golden light fell at an unimaginable speed, and Tai'an entered the center of the Orcish Sanctuary with the most arrogant attitude, casually throwing a punch.

The most ferocious-looking Lion Prince Born had a hole blown through his torso. Unable to withstand a single blow, he was instantly defeated and killed.

His death did not give the rest of them a chance to catch their breath. During the brief gap in Guardian Kruman's domain, the remaining minotaurs and fox-men exploded.

World at War!

Absolute zero!

……

Krugman's domain was finally opened successfully. Without hesitation, he went all out. The chains of war tried to bind his opponent from all directions, and the extreme chill spread to slow down the enemy's movements.

The five divine artifacts are simultaneously superimposed on the domain.

The terrifying strength of the god-like figure ignited his fighting spirit! A sense of crisis he hadn't felt in a long time surged into his heart.

In less than the blink of an eye, a golden light flashed.

In a world slowed down by 256 times, the orc guardian struggles to move his shield, trying to block the oncoming golden fist.

We absolutely have to make it!

The superimposed domain seemed to have no effect, and a punch landed squarely on his body.

A short figure passed through them.

Tai'an slowed his pace and walked away without looking back. Only the green-skinned orc's body remained frozen in place. In the blink of an eye, he collapsed heavily to the ground.

A decisive strike is crucial; there's no time to waste. Giving your opponent time to react is disrespectful to your own life.

He doesn't engage in pointless verbal sparring. He is indifferent to the opponent's identity or motives.

The orc's tattered clothes were too worn to be bothered to pick up. But if it were truly powerful, it would always prove useful, and the result was obvious.

They won! The court's chief mage, Silas, couldn't believe it and personally went to confirm it. The kingdom's high-ranking officials, who were watching the live broadcast, fell silent.

In the Violet Kingdom, the Spellcaster's Guild Master, Orphan, commented via the mental channel.

"The strength of deities also varies considerably. Even if weaker deities join forces, they will find it difficult to defeat stronger ones. Within the deity community, there is a saying that there are upper, middle, and lower ranks. Lower-ranking deities within the same pantheon are followers or attendants of upper-ranking deities."

What level of talent do the extraordinary individuals in our country possess?

"It seems that his growth rate has already exceeded the limits of all previous gods. Even the scope of high-level gods is insufficient to measure him. I would call him a 'breakthrough' or a 'transcendence'. If he can continue to grow in the future, he may very well challenge the boundaries of legend."

Such exaggerated praise went unchallenged. The title of "Transcendent One" quietly spread. Just as people had hoped, this god-like being possessed absolute power to suppress everything.

The crisis that threatened the destruction of the Violet Kingdom has come to an end; it was merely an interlude from beginning to end, and can be categorized as part of a probing storm.

Tai'an returned to the palace, eager to visit the royal treasury.

The father-in-law didn't renege on his promise; he readily honored the verbal agreement and personally led people to the destination.

The royal treasury is heavily guarded, with the surrounding space completely covered by dense barriers and restrictions, making it impossible to teleport.

It is itself situated within a labyrinthine, folded space.

"You'd better not go in. The alternate dimension where the treasure vault is located is too fragile to accommodate the arrival of a powerful being."

King Alfred summoned the court sorcerer who was in charge of the warehouse and gave Taian a list of valuable items.
