I'm not just human!

"Don't even mention it. I encountered a group of Celestial Venerable-level monsters in an ancient and eerie realm, which delayed me for a while. Otherwise, I would have arrived much sooner."

A smile appeared in Julius's eyes beneath his golden mask; it was the smile of someone seeing their most trusted subordinate.

"It's alright. Join my supreme battle formation. With you, we can break through this ritual defense array before the [Absolute Defense] healing ends!"

Gastis the Great Axe nodded:

"Okay, no problem."

As it spoke, carrying its giant axe, it walked straight behind Julius, as if it truly intended to join that supreme battle formation.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the gods in the city where gold coins converged all hardened.

"【Silver Universe】, is this the exceptionally powerful Golden Cleanser you mentioned?"

The Paradox Clown spoke, communicating directly through spiritual intuition, and unexpectedly, he pulled Xiafa into the conversation.

As for the children of the true gods, none of them were brought in.

[Silver Universe] immediately replied:

"Yes, that's it. When I used [Eternal Space] to transfer it out of Caligi, I almost exhausted my Authority Power, which also directly caused my two spatial clones to merge."

[Error Rule] Dao:

"This giant axe-wielding golden cleaner seems to be only slightly weaker than Julius..."

Xiafa listened without speaking, pondering whether he should tell the gods that Gastis the Great Axe was on his side.

The key reason he hadn't said anything before was to protect Gastis the Great Axe's safety and to ensure Gastis the Great Axe could play its greatest role at the most crucial moment.

The latter, in particular, is the only way that the extraordinary beings can truly accept Gastis the Great Axe, rather than seeing him as one of the Gold Cleaners.

And now... it seems that this is the most crucial moment.

If Gastis the Great Axe could betray Julius at a crucial moment, help the City of Gold Convergence repel him, and ideally severely injure him...

With that in mind, Xia Fa no longer hesitated and prepared to speak directly.

But at that moment, within this spiritual intuition involving multiple righteous gods, an ancient voice rang out.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'll finish the healing from [Absolute Defense] in no time."

The voice sounded extremely old, yet it possessed an indescribable honesty and simplicity, giving one the feeling that one could trust it simply by hearing it.

At the same time, the gentle yet majestic voice of the Ninth God rang out, tinged with a hint of teasing:

"First Entity, you've finally decided to come out of seclusion. I thought you would just watch your Entity Redemption Society's entities die at Julius's hands."

The first entity?!

Xia Fa was startled. That honest and simple old voice was actually the First Entity.

What kind of "rules" does the first entity possess that allow it to directly heal [Absolute Defense] completely?

Suddenly, Xia Fa discovered that the golden cavalry figure belonging to Gastis the Great Axe had re-formed within his celestial body.

It seemed to be in a great hurry, and quickly conveyed a thought without having time to communicate with words as before.

"Shafa, once I get behind Julius, I'll launch a sneak attack. You talk to the gods and let them take advantage of that opportunity to strike. We can explain everything later; they should be able to believe you, right?"

Xia Fa immediately replied:

"You don't need to now. Quickly find an excuse to retreat! [Absolute Defense] is about to recover. If you don't retreat, you might be in danger!"

The little golden cavalryman's eyes immediately lit up:

"【Absolute Defense】is about to recover? Fine, I'll just stand at the very back of the battle formation. If anything goes wrong, I'll just run away, hahaha! But since that's the case, don't tell the Nine Great Gods about my situation for now."

Xia Fa was taken aback upon hearing this. He was about to ask why he couldn't say, but at that moment, the little golden cavalryman disappeared.

He looked up and saw Gastis the Great Axe in the Protoss sky, carrying his great axe, galloping directly towards the rear of the battle formation behind Julius.

At that very moment, in the very center of the city where gold pounds converge, in one of the spherical "dwellings of the gods," an indescribable, overwhelming aura of a true god, far surpassing that of any other true god, rose up.

[Absolute Defense]...has been revived!

Chapter 439 [Absolute Defense], Reclaiming the Body!

The city, which had been in utter chaos as a hub of gold and silver, suddenly fell into a miraculous silence.

Whether human, demi-human, humanoid supernatural being, or demigod, angel, ruler, or even gods, outer gods, and celestial beings, they all involuntarily turned their heads and looked towards the largest sphere-like abode of the gods.

The divine aura emanating from that sphere was immense and sacred to the extreme, yet it did not cause the slightest loss of control over the crowd.

Only peace of mind, unparalleled peace of mind.

A salamander-like deity, who was diligently treating the wounded on the street, had two clear tears streaming down his face, as if his long-suppressed emotions had finally been released.

"It's Lord Absolute Defense... Lord Absolute Defense has recovered! Lord Absolute Defense has come to save us!"

Like a fuse detonating explosives, after a brief silence on the street, people who realized what had happened erupted into cheers.

"[Absolute Defense] Master has finally recovered!"

"Lord, the Absolute Defense has arrived!"

"Great!"

"We're saved..."

"Waaaaah..."

"These damn cleaners, let's see if you dare to be so arrogant again!"

"Yes, Lord [Absolute Defense], please kill these Cleaners! My father and brother died in this disaster!"

In just a moment, as the first deity knelt before the spherical abode of the gods, countless other deities in the streets followed suit, including gods, outer gods, and celestial beings.

Meanwhile, the humans, demi-humans, and humanoid supernatural beings who remained in their respective houses or small worlds also knelt down devoutly and began to pray.

"The Savior of all things".

"An unparalleled supreme being."

"You are the embodiment of all order, the guardian of all living beings, and the great being who rules the universe!"

"Supreme, most holy, and most holy Lord of Absolute Defense, please intervene, drive away the Golden Cleanser, and save us once again!"

As the first prayer was uttered, prayers flowed out and rose like a converging river throughout the streets and alleys of the city where gold pounds converged, as well as through various portals in the sky.

"The Savior of all things".

"An unparalleled supreme being."

"You are the embodiment of all order, the guardian of all living beings, and the great being who rules the universe!"

"The Savior of all things".

"An unparalleled supreme being."

"You are the embodiment of all order, the guardian of all living beings, the great being who rules the universe..."

In the end, the prayers reached a miraculous consensus, booming and resounding throughout the city, their power reaching an extreme.

An unseen power of "faith" seemed to make the entire city of gold coins begin to glow, and then they all surged toward the largest abode of God!

Outside the complete royal guard formation, Julius witnessed this scene, and an uncontrollable rage rose in his gray eyes beneath his mask. He once again raised the great axe in his hand.

In that instant, countless black lights converged into a black hole-like vortex, gathering around its golden axe, as if a terrifying wave capable of destroying the world was brewing.

It hated this scene so much that it used one of the most terrifying moves in the supreme art of killing, wanting to stop it and destroy it at all costs!

"A swarm of lowly...supernatural insects!"

As the thunderous syllables were uttered, the golden axe in its hand slammed down!

"Insects? Who are you calling an insect?"

A powerful and domineering voice rang out, and an enormous hand, seemingly formed from holy light yet incredibly large, appeared beneath the golden axe.

The seemingly unstoppable attack of the golden axe was abruptly halted as it was grasped by the luminous giant hand.

boom--!

With a deafening roar, the starry sky trembled. Julius had been struck by an unexpected attack, his massive, mountain-like body and horse were sent flying backward, and his golden armor, engraved with mysterious patterns, shattered instantly.

Strangely, the thirty-odd Golden Cleaners behind it were also sent flying backward in unison, their armor shattering as if they had all suffered a severe blow.

“House of Dreams!!!”

As Julius flew backward, ignoring the brilliant golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, he suddenly let out a loud shout.

"coming."

In the vast and boundless starry sky, an extremely elegant gentleman's voice rang out, as if he were calm and composed, without any panic or fluster.

Immediately afterwards, an old attic-style hut appeared, and in an instant it became enormous, as if it could contain the entire universe.

And then, the door was opened.

Julius and the thirty-odd Golden Cleaners seemed to have just flown backwards into the doorway. Immediately afterward, several False Gods and [Brief Reality] also flashed into the room.

"House of Dreams?"

Looking at this entity that he had met once before in Garlic City, Xia Fa frowned and sensed something extremely wrong.

Even though Julius, who had formed a supreme battle formation with more than thirty Golden Cleansers, was almost seriously injured by the [Absolute Defense] attack, this was just the physical "Imaginary House" of the Outer God rank. It was still unusually calm and composed, and even dared to show itself to rescue the Golden Cleansers and the false gods.

Recalling the last time it was the same, when his disguised entity "Glutton" appeared on the city wall of Garlic City and was mistaken by a Silver Cleaner as about to become a Celestial-level entity, the House of Imagination was also unhurried and calmly left.

Unlike the Wall of Flesh and Blood, which was so frightened that it shed its tail like a gecko to survive, leaving behind a large chunk of flesh, the House of Imagination seemed completely unafraid of anything happening. Although it left quickly, it was indeed without any fear.

Even when facing a being that appears to be at the Celestial Venerable level, they remained fearless.

And now, this House of Imagination... is directly preparing to rescue the Golden Cleanser and the False Gods right in front of the [Absolute Defense]...

Before Xia Fa could think any further, powerful figures emerged from behind the House of Imagination in the Star Spirit Sky.

Among them were a gray giant with five heads, a middle-aged man wearing a white suit but with a majestic clown mask, and a delicate young girl who looked as if she had made the starry sky into a form-fitting dress.

It is none other than the [Faulty Rules], [Paradox Joker], and [Silver Universe], all three of the Nine Great Gods!

Immediately following, directly in front of the House of Space, a massive, luminous figure, comparable to half a star field, was rapidly taking shape. It could be vaguely seen that it was still wearing a priest's robe, but the hood covered its head.

That was [Absolute Defense], and He was also prepared to leave behind the House of Imagination!
