At the critical moment, four anti-magic stone wing machines simultaneously stepped in front, attempting to work together to absorb the flames spewed by the fire demon.

However, the power of the flames was too great. Even with the combined efforts of four of these law-breaking vehicles, it only managed to deflect the flames at an angle.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Spark changed direction and barely grazed the edge of the blazing current. In that instant, the city's temperature soared, the paint bubbled, and everyone felt as if they had walked through a volcano, their body temperature rising rapidly.

Li Xin turned his head and saw that the fuselages of the four anti-magic stone wing machines were shining brightly, as dazzling as stars about to burst into bloom. At this moment, they had reached an unprecedented overload state, and a single strike was enough to destroy an entire mountain.

"Is this... fully charged?" he wondered.

Undoubtedly, this Balrog must be a powerful magical creature; otherwise, Peter wouldn't have been able to sense this "overflowing" magical energy source from tens of kilometers away.

But no one expected that its strength would be so terrifying.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Perhaps to vent its dissatisfaction at being disturbed, the fire demon let out an unprecedented roar of rage, unleashing all its power!

It was like a supervolcano that had been ignited, spewing out thousands of streams of lava that shot out in all directions!

An apocalyptic meteor shower erupted, turning the entire mountain range into an inferno in an instant!

The Starfire darted left and right hastily, like a leaf in a storm, desperately trying to get through the gaps in the lava rain, relying on the anti-magic stone wing and Peter's spells to defend against the unavoidable lava.

The Flame Demon still wasn't willing to let them go and continued its pursuit.

But the next second, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

As if time had stopped, the entire sea of ​​fire quickly solidified.

The flames froze at the moment of burning, the thick smoke stopped billowing, the heat wave stopped surging... everything seemed to have been turned into a photograph.

Then, all the flames suddenly went out, and the thick smoke dissipated immediately.

The Balrog was completely dumbfounded and let out a roar of confusion and anger.

"What's going on?" Li Xin asked, puzzled.

The next second, everyone suddenly felt a gaze fall upon them.

It descends from the sky, carrying an awe-inspiring, solemn, and unquestionable power that leaves one's mind blank, leaving only the purest and most instinctive reverence.

Even the Flame Demon was completely stunned, and a clear look of panic and fear appeared in its eternally burning eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he came to his senses, and his pupils widened uncontrollably.

This is... God!

The fire demon was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. It let out a timid whimper and slunk back underground.

The terrain closed up, the cracks disappeared, and the mountains returned to calm.

Li Xin and everyone else remained motionless, their expressions extremely tense.

No one spoke or moved on the deck; even breathing was suppressed to the lowest possible level, for fear that the slightest extra sound would attract that gaze.

Only when that gaze disappeared did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, the oppressive feeling receding like a tide.

After calming down, Li Xin looked up at the sky.

It remained melodious and profound, as calm as if nothing had happened.

For a moment, his thoughts began to surge uncontrollably.

In the blue planet where he was born and raised, covered in steel and concrete, gods are just legends and fantasies.

But there really is a God in this world.

A supreme, irresistible, and majestic being that makes people dare not even have a single thought!

......

"What exactly is God?"

Upon hearing the new question, Peter was taken aback at first, then he touched his chin with his finger and thought about it carefully with great interest.

He quickly provided the answer.

In the magical world, the gods are more like guardians than creators.

He neither creates, nor destroys, nor commands, nor forbids; He simply exists.

He has never appeared in person, so no one knows what he looks like or what he looks like.

Throughout the long years, God remained silent, neither intervening nor responding. He did not listen to prayers, perform miracles, canonize believers, or punish heretics.

War, plague, the fall of dynasties, the rise and fall of races, the suffering of all living beings... He simply watched.

He will only intervene when faced with a cataclysmic disaster or when the world is on the verge of collapse—at which point He will manifest a world-changing power.

"Is that so?" Li Xin said thoughtfully.

"Have you forgotten? My teacher, Cadlin, was a messenger of God. All living beings regard him as the incarnation of God on earth, and they revere and worship him," Peter reminded him, his tone carrying a rare seriousness and adoration.

"Really?" Li Xin frowned.

You see, that dwarf old wizard was slovenly dressed, spoke in a loud and boisterous manner, and occasionally uttered a few swear words. Especially when he laughed, he looked just like an old drunkard who had been secretly drinking.

It's really hard to associate him with the divine messenger.

After thinking it over carefully, he raised a question that he found quite interesting.

"So, how do you usually connect with God?"

Peter was immediately taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the sky.

"It is said that there is a kingdom of gods in the sky, and that gods reside there, but this claim has never been proven," he said.

Li Xin nodded slowly. The fact that gods existed in this world had indeed shocked him. But the Starfire was not yet at the level to make contact with gods.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Human civilization has transmigrated into a magical world; the gods must have already noticed. Li Xin doesn't know how He will react—whether He will turn a blind eye, observe from the shadows, or…be hostile. If that's the case, then things will be very troublesome.

Then, he became curious again.

Human civilization has wandered for so long, traversing so many worlds, and the things it has seen and experienced are certainly far more than it knows. During this time, human civilization must have encountered worlds where gods exist, and had a series of contacts, communications, and even battles with them.

Methods and weapons to deal with gods likely exist.

They might even have actually killed a god.

Li Xin believed this, after all, he had experienced a lot along the way and had confirmed that the strength of human civilization was extraordinary, even far stronger than he had imagined.

As he pondered, he took a deep breath, suppressing his surging thoughts.

There are just more and more questions I'm curious about.

As for how to verify this conjecture, it would naturally be through the Ark Organization. Once he had the opportunity to browse the historical documents and databases of this human organization, he would know the answer.

"On the other hand, I can't just keep thinking about taking advantage of this organization all the time." He couldn't help but scratch his head.
