Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

"Is that so? Maybe you don't know me well enough."

Nolan's answer was intriguing. When the Blood Demon God is powerful enough, it will also be when Joanna is powerful enough. Awakening and annihilation will happen at the same time. But for now, all they need to do is enjoy this feast to the fullest.

Serantia left behind a captivating smile as a black lightning bolt intercepted the Amethyst Dragon Mother, preventing Iyef from rushing towards the Qilin Venerable. The roaring Lord of the Tides was busy dealing with the Blood Incarnation, whose blood dissolved without a trace. The fallen corpses only amplified the crimson aura, and the chillingly melodious laughter became the death knell tormenting Neptune.

The Dragon Slayer Alliance had never been in such an awkward situation. Neither the Elf Queen nor the Winged Lion Commander dared to launch an attack easily, for fear of being drawn into this bloody storm and needlessly losing their soldiers' lives.

The Revolutionary Army, the Steel Dragon Riders, the Temple of Light, and the Temple of Fate—all forces suffered heavy losses and were in the same predicament. Lockrean shook his head at Heloise and Selene, stopping Curtis and the other eager Saint War Maidens. The storm of evil gods unleashed by the Chaos Throne was infinitely powerful, and violence was used to control violence. Now, the problem was handed over to His Majesty Tycolovy.

Skadi and Michelle spread their wings and looked at each other awkwardly. With their strength, they couldn't even help Capricorn Star Envoy. They were afraid that they would be instantly killed by the Qilin Venerable the moment they joined the battle.

Strangely, the Totem Clan and the Variegated Valley Dragon Clan also mysteriously retreated to their defensive lines. The mutated dragon beasts and sea creature soldiers were forced to retreat to the vicinity of the Great Whirlpool and ceased their attacks, as if they were waiting for something.

"Success or failure hinges on this one move."

His Highness closed the divine book, muttering to himself as if he saw a predetermined future, the answer to which would soon be revealed. Caliban, however, looked bewildered.

The battle of the Ark has already reached its climax, and the Abyss's participation signifies that the feast is entering its peak. At this moment, the key to the new century is in the hands of a few people, depending on the competition among several powerful figures standing at the top of the middle world. Obsidian Emperor, Capricorn Star Captain, King of Beasts, and Abyss Demon King are all potential winners. As long as they can suppress that Eastern man, victory is within reach.

816. Void Behemoth

Just then, a white light cleaved the starry sky, and many spots of light descended from the sky, swirling and turning like crowns hovering above the battlefield. Countless orbs of light patrolled the sky, like ghosts watching over the ark.

"An alien spirit!?"

Rodriguez's pupils contracted slightly. Byron immediately withdrew the magic array and landed on the deck of the Queen of Victory. The Sky Guards, who had not appeared until now, suddenly appeared here, and in such large numbers.

The Star Cluster Lord warned everyone, but the Dragon Slayer Legion arrived hastily, completely unaware of the situation before being deployed to the battlefield. At this moment, the Sky Front was paralyzed and lost contact. None of the seven Elf Kings of the Royal Courts, including Queen Zenora, responded, nor did Messiah and the Wings of Freedom Guardians led by Ekaterina reply.

Valentine's expression changed slightly. Regardless of the outcome, the Temple of Love and Wisdom had already lost its voice in the struggle for the Ark. The greatest hidden danger buried in the hearts of many pioneers had finally erupted. The bizarre primordial beings that maintained the order of the Ark could not have been unaware of this catastrophe, but they did not expect their timing to be so precise.

"coming."

Nolan rubbed his temples, sensing something amiss. Looking up, he realized the sky no longer belonged to the Valley of Splendor, or even to the One-Horned Knight.

Michelle and Skadi stared blankly as the Seraphim, led by Reinhardt, returned to the Crown of Light, looking down at the earth with no emotion, a faint light flickering in the depths of their pupils. Alicia, wielding a silver sword, was among them.

"Step back, mortals! You have trespassed into the divine realm of our Lord. From this moment on, you shall not interfere with the evolutionary blueprint."

The dragon-slaying warriors, having lost control of their bodies, spoke in unison, but did not expel the intruders, as if they were maintaining the next stage, the so-called evolutionary blueprint.

Byron seemed to be deep in thought, his expression changed drastically, as if he had figured something out, but the next second his eyes also flashed with a glint, and he fell silent. Rodriguez and Valentine were not spared either.

The battlefield at sea suddenly fell silent, the atmosphere extremely eerie. More soldiers were also manipulated by the ghosts, standing frozen in place, looking up at the white halo. Only the powerful figures standing on the opposite side in the center of the vortex were fighting fiercely.

The feeling was terrifying, like being forcibly pushed from the front of the stage to the backstage by an invisible hand. My consciousness was still clear, but I could only watch everything that was happening in front of me, unable to move a finger.

The Ark is indeed not the highest plane of the hidden fault, but a corner of the Father's divine realm. All mortals who venture into this place cannot defy the will of that man. This is authority, supreme power.

The anomaly also affected Vessalius and the others, but they were already deeply embroiled in the chaos and unable to extricate themselves. Serantia and Joanna were each dealing with Iev and Tecolovylun.

Aside from the chosen ones of the evolutionary blueprint, only the witch and the holy son were exempt from interference. Lockrean remained silent, awaiting revelation.

Nolan gazed at the swirling halo, as if he had finally received the answer he sought, and suddenly spoke, "Do you really enjoy hiding behind the scenes and manipulating puppets?"

The silence didn't last long. The commander-in-chief of the Unicorn Knights slowly turned the reins, rode the hovering Pegasus, and looked down at the silver-haired girl below. Michelle's voice was gentle and helpless, and the strange rhythm was runes conveying divine messages.

"You were the ones who broke into my lab and caused all this damage, so how come it's my fault?"

This was the first direct dialogue between the beautiful goddess queen and the heavenly father since the goddess descended to earth. Through Michelle's body, the heavenly father followed Nolan's finger and saw the Qilin Venerable who dominated the battlefield. Even with the Obsidian Emperor, who was immortal, taking the damage, the chosen ones were still no match for him.

"And what about him? Since when did you become the one to tell my people what to do?"

“You’re wrong again. He’s not your man. He’s been my prisoner ever since he was imprisoned in the Abyss of Oblivion. This is punishment for defying the Divine Court. Perish, my dear child is the same. Mistakes must be punished. Isn’t this how mortals educate their children? Look, I’m learning from them too.”

The love in Michel's eyes is disgusting. The Heavenly Father and the Night Mother were the first players after the chaos created the worlds, which means they are more hypocritical, more cunning, and more cruel than any god.

"They shouldn't exist in any plane in the first place. I can pretend I didn't see them and let you out of the Abyss of Oblivion, but that doesn't mean you can take them with you. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I don't understand."

Nolan smiled, leaped off the shoulder of the puppet armor, and walked step by step towards the whirlpool, treading on the surging waves as if on flat ground.

Michelle sighed, deeply regretting that they hadn't reached a consensus, and said quietly, "Look, this is the necessary price of growth. I am helping them grow, and I am also shaping the future. Flowers grown in a greenhouse may be beautiful, but they are also empty. They must always face challenges until they are perfect and can take our place."

“I would rather let them choose their own future than grow up in the way you set for them. Birds have wings but don’t necessarily have to fly, and wild horses should not be confined to the ground even if they gallop on all fours.”

Nolan's eyes swept over the frozen six Entropy Demons one by one. The stiff Giant Spirit Bride stood like an iceberg in the middle of the sea, while the ferocious appearance of the Sky-Devouring Thunder Serpent was still endearing...

The witch could clearly see the flaws in every believer, including Messiah and Zenora, some even as obvious as Catherine's. Even so, she deeply loved these imperfect and ugly beings, for they were the choices of chaos. They had all found their own ordered truth in disorder and believed it without a doubt.

“Fate has brought you here, and fate will also catalyze your evolution, making you part of the blueprint. The difference is, who will stand out.”

Michelle sighed again, with pity.

Suddenly, a strange change occurred. The Overlord laughed wildly, seemingly having lost interest in playing around. He punched the sea hard, and the immense divine power pierced through the plane, creating a rift storm that cut through space and blasted Antonio and Harrison away.

Perhaps the brief negotiations were about to break down and the farce was about to end. Both Iyefu and Taikolovilon sensed the call of the Qilin Venerable. They abandoned the Blood Demon Incarnation and the Necrotic Demon God and rushed towards Zhang Tiange in the fault space. The Qilin phantom behind him grew stronger and stronger, as if it was about to break out of his body.

The Amethyst Dragon Mother regained her enormous form, and the Abyss Tide Hoof was also released into sea form by the Lord of the Tides. The moment the three giant beasts collided, a flash of light appeared in the void, and the annihilation flames spread like wildfire. The three divine energies were separated due to the imprint of chaos, and they were also reunited due to the imprint of chaos.

Appearing in the center of the whirlpool was an unprecedented monster, with the body of a horse, the tail of a dragon, the hooves of a giant wave, and the wings of a giant bird. Its ferocious scale-like head roared to the sky, causing the heavens and earth to tremble, as if it could crush the entire ark with a single step.

817. Exposing the false lies

Even in the highest divine court, the Gatekeeper of Purgatory is a terrifying existence that no one dares to provoke. Even Serantia and Joanna tremble with fear in the face of this void behemoth, not to mention the ashen-faced Antonio and Vessalius. Harrison remained silent, gathering his obsidian armor, probably the only warrior who had not given up.

The three phases merged into one, fusing with the original body. It's hard to imagine that the true enemy of the Dragon Slayer Alliance was such a ferocious beast. Everyone could see the destructive behemoth that emerged from the dragon tide, but they couldn't move it. Even if they could move it, they would be powerless. Mortals are so insignificant in front of gods.

At this moment, the heroic protagonists of the epic became bystanders offstage, while Lockrean smiled with satisfaction, closed his eyes, and his divine tome would now begin to be rewritten.

The Outer Void is the cradle of all things and Nolan's source of chaos. The fragmented High Dimension cannot withstand the release of power by a true god in the present world and may split and dissolve at any time in turmoil.

The confrontation with truth will shatter the present world. Moreover, the witch alone cannot suppress the three phases with her incomplete immortal divine body. Countless void tentacles quietly sprouted around her. If she wanted, she could rush towards the three phases at any time and send this monster born in chaos back to the black hole. The price would be the formatting of the entire world into nothingness, dragging everyone down with her.

Nolan didn't have many options left. Neither eliminating the Overlord nor banishing the Void Beasts to escape the battlefield with these innocent puppets seemed to be the right answer.

"Now, what will you do? Great Destroyer of All Realms, I have offered a precious sacrifice, but do you really want to stop their evolution, or overthrow everything and start anew?"

The swirling halo stopped spinning, quietly awaiting the witch's decision. The fate of the world rested in the hands of the Lord of Chaos. If she were to overturn this chessboard, all the wishes of the Heavenly Father and the Night Mother would be in vain, the desolate middle world would return to the origin of all things, reverting to a seed of chaos, and a new cycle would begin.

"Returning to the throne, we can create the future together, a flawless new world where only the most perfect beings are qualified to board the Ark!"

Michelle's expression was solemn, kind, and loving, as if she were carrying out an extremely sacred mission. In the eyes of the Heavenly Father, even so-called higher life forms such as dragons and elves are still flawed and must be eliminated if they do not evolve.

The witch's answer disappointed the Creator God once again: "Do you really think you can always be high above, manipulating everyone at will?"

"Why not? I am the Father of the Gods, one of the creators of this world. All things should follow my will. But you, the observer of the chaotic void, should not interfere with the blueprint, much less join the game and become a pawn. It was just a little bit short of becoming a perfect creation."

Nolan twitched her lips as she watched the three-phase behemoth charge toward her through the void. She simply opened her arms as if to embrace it. Her ten fingers twitched slightly, and she pushed the void to pull and restore the fractured space. She even had time to repair this plane, the place where mortals could stand.

"This is what Asteria wanted me to witness, her true intention. Only by truly seeing this world with my own eyes can I understand their pain, their helplessness, their despair. This is also the truth that arrogant rulers should remember but have forgotten with the passage of time."

Michelle's empty gaze gradually became unfocused and somewhat confused, before it snapped back into focus, shaking off its wavering.

“I also lived in this world, just like them, striving to live every single second. Those are real memories, not your toys. Every path I took to the future was my own choice.”

At this moment, the witch spoke simply as Nolan, which made Lockrean's eyes light up. She was no longer a player, nor a pawn, but chaos itself.

Michelle chuckled, conveying the Father's disdain, and sighed softly, "You still don't understand, even you are my toy, from the moment you were born into this world, you just haven't realized it yet."

"Is that so? I have to admit, I lost this round, but you can't win either. I'm not playing with you anymore..."

Nolan raised his hands, a strange smile appearing on his face. Michelle squinted, somewhat wary, and for the first time showed a human expression.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to give the world back to them!"

With her back to the Void Beast, the witch looked at the countless humble and insignificant mortals behind her, and suddenly made up her mind. Her wicked smile, though clearly extremely evil, appeared cunning and cute in Lockrean's eyes.

Boom!

Nolan's slender hands shattered the spatial barrier like heavy hammers, plunging into the depths of the void to frantically draw power. His body instantly transformed into a pure, purplish-black energy body, where truth and power intertwined in a dark and murky way, giving birth to rage and destruction.

"stop!"

Michelle's expression changed drastically, as if she realized something. But the Father had no earthly incarnation and disdained associating with mortals. All his toys were less effective than his own power, let alone the three phases of blind destruction.

Detached from the Supreme Court made Nolan vulnerable, but it also brought her closer to the real world, allowing her to clearly sense the barrier separating the two—the divine prohibitions, the shackles that bind mortals.

It is this that makes mortals only able to look up to the divine court, while the gods are forever supreme. In fact, there is an unbreakable class barrier standing between the mortal world and the divine realm.

Click!

Nolan's pretty face was icy cold. The moment she touched the restriction, her hands clenched together, easily shattering the invisible shackles. A void storm swept through the mortal world, dispelling the gloom that surrounded it.

Faith is the biggest lie in this world. The gods deprive mortals of their right to advancement, enslaving and dividing them with false promises, using them as a source of power to consolidate their authority and maintain their exalted status.

Now this lie has been ruthlessly exposed by the Destroyer of All Realms, who, disregarding the God-King's wager and abandoning the divine court's hegemony, resolutely...

"No----!"

Michelle's face contorted in rage as he roared in fury before losing consciousness and collapsing on the back of the unicorn, his connection to the High Court severed by the void storm.

Boom!

The chosen ones in the center of the battlefield watched in horror as the giant beast charged through the void and crashed into the fault space. They retreated in fear, not understanding what was happening. The first to sense the abnormality were the dragon-slaying warriors.

The ghostly aura disappeared, and Alicia was stunned for a moment. Having regained control of her body after shaking off the alien spirit, she looked at her hands and feet, as if waking from a dream. She looked up in confusion, and the starry sky presented before them was clear and bright. It was as if the veil that had been covering their eyes for a long time had been lifted, and they could see the true face of the stars and the sea.

818. The three phases disintegrate, and defeat is inevitable.

"Roar!"

The three enormous heads of the three phases were inlaid with three-colored eyes like jewels. Their gaze was violent, but the momentum of their rage gradually slowed down. The three divine powers within their bodies were in strong conflict, and the surging hooves and the divine dragon crystal scales were peeling off and disintegrating.

That seemed to be an excellent signal, which the Obsidian Emperor caught. So he pressed on without hesitation. The Dragon Slayer had no way to retreat, and the Spacetime Star Chart and the Platinum Star also launched another attack with gritted teeth. Crimson blood waves rose from the vortex, mixed with necrotic rays, and crashed into the Triad Body!

The intense attack accelerated the disintegration of the three phases, but the out-of-control void behemoth remained powerful, roaring forward and crashing into the Ark, attempting to crush everything in its path.

Nolan withdrew his hands from the void, his face pale and his legs trembling. Such domineering power had pushed his body to its limit in an instant, and he had also lost a lot of faith power because of this risky move.

Fortunately, Batian had already woken up. A silver shadow streaked across the sky, and the witch lifted her long leg and swung it down at the three generals. The exaggerated contrast between their sizes was like a towering peak and a speck of dust. But this kick stirred up a roaring gale and used explosive force to shove the behemoth into a vortex.

"How long are you going to stand there in a daze!?"
