Chapter 466 Gloria's Desperate Situation
A radiant glow erupted from the Dark Moon Goddess, and then a dark purple silhouette separated from her, summoning another moon to help alleviate the pressure on Gloria. However, the combat power provided by this avatar only lasted for a few fleeting moments before being suppressed and shattered by the tidal wave of Divine Power from the three gods!
Not all avatars are like Sterl's Bionic Tear, possessing nearly all of the main body's combat prowess.
Gloria's energy phantom only held 1/4 of the Dark Moon Goddess's strength, and this power rapidly diminished as the avatar remained summoned.
Now that she had begun to use her items, Gloria didn't hesitate to pull out another crystal stone.
From a distance, Sterl's eyes lit up at this scene.
"This is more like it!"
"Keep struggling!"
"You're a seasoned deity; use those trump cards of yours! Otherwise, how can you possibly deserve the title of an old deity?"
Previously, in the layer of hell, he had seen how gods fought desperately, each one smashing valuable crystal stones without a second thought!
Even if Gloria had already exhausted some resources against the three gods, she couldn't be completely drained. Sterl was waiting for Gloria to expend her last life-saving items! It would be even better if it forced the three gods to use some of their resources too.
So the battle continued in a tug-of-war.
Gloria repeatedly brought out her treasured resources and items, stabilizing her formation. She even managed to mount a few successful counterattacks.
She summoned a massive dark purple dragon, which injured the enemy god who wielded shadow divine authority.
The sudden enhancement to the monsters summoned by her Iridescent-Level skill left two deep, bone-deep wounds on the leader of the opposing gods.
However, that was where the success ended.
After sustaining a wound, the leader decisively activated an item that strengthened his summoned dark moon, causing the moonlight to suddenly become intensely corrosive.
As a result, the monsters summoned by Gloria were quickly burned alive.
This led to a rapid surge in the pressure she was under.
The dark moon, which had been stabilizing, began to sink again.
In this moment, Gloria could only watch helplessly as her moon gradually descended, making no moves at all. It was clear that her previous effort had been a desperate gamble.
Gloria not only had a customized Iridescent-Level skill but also a similarly tiered divine-level customized red item to complement it!
Even though she was facing two opponents, she had managed to successfully take down the leader god and could easily defeat the remaining one!
Unfortunately, the total disparity in Divine Power from the combined efforts of the three gods was far too great.
Gloria had saved her items for last, hoping to take down one enemy, but that didn't happen at all…
The previously frantic three gods displayed remarkable combat prowess in this final moment. They no longer uttered any taunts; instead, they focused intently on controlling their powers as they swept toward her!
The curtain of night in the sky flowed continuously, absorbing the pure moonlight, and ultimately, all the power surged into the dark moon opposing Gloria.
Finally...
Swish!
Gloria's brilliance was completely devoured.
Pffft.
She spat out a mouthful of blood and half-kneeled on the ground, the severe backlash causing her flesh to continuously erupt.
The whole person shattered like a magnificent firework, breaking apart again and again!
Such a bloody scene brought a look of sheer delight to the three gods, as the powers symbolizing shadow divine authority and lunar divine authority surged into the air with Gloria's destruction, allowing them to absorb it at will.
The sense of fulfillment and exhilaration from the enhancement of their divine authority was irresistible, even for gods, who found themselves intoxicated by its allure!
Then, the three gods moved suddenly, once again raising the gigantic dark moon that dominated the sky. Countless strands of purple Divine Power transformed into numerous entwined threads, rushing toward Gloria.
These threads swept past Rosalie, completely ignoring her.
However, Rosalie felt no embarrassment; instead, she was quite pleased. Every second she lived gave her a chance to do something for her master.
Rosalie continued to chant in her mind—
"Master, I have new information!"
"Gloria's customized Iridescent-Level ability actually has accompanying items! You must check out the locations I mentioned!"
"Gloria's customized Iridescent-Level…"
Rosalie didn't believe she would survive, but she felt at ease repeating the message, hoping to convey the information.
The three gods did not think a demigod could stir up any trouble and completely ignored her.
In the sky, countless threads constructed a cage!
From the front, back, and sides…
They were surrounded on all sides!
There was no way to escape.
Just as the threads were about to envelop Gloria, the Dark Moon Goddess's gaze became dazed under the backlash.
A figure appeared at the center of the battlefield—it was Sterl!
At this moment, the threads were just a few steps away from Gloria.
Perhaps, in a split second, the Dark Moon Goddess would be captured!
But then, a sudden change occurred!
The newly appeared figure was, of course, Sterl.
He had deliberately harnessed the power of the Time Law to perfectly time his entrance!
Mostly, it just looked cooler that way…
However, he noticed that upon his arrival, the three gods were completely unfazed!
Their expressions remained unchanged, and their mental fortitude was unshaken.
It wasn't an act; the three gods simply ignored Sterl.
They continued to channel the power of the dark moon, intent on capturing Gloria.
The reason was…
Even though Sterl's entrance was striking and perfectly timed, his aura hadn't changed.
He was prudent and didn't rush to activate his ascension to godhood before the battle began.
If he were to fail, he would just use a resurrection item, and then ascend to godhood during his invincibility period.
With an Imperishable soul, who could kill Sterl?
Moreover, he had to conserve his Divine Power, using a little less each time!
Thus, there was this awkward scene.
Fortunately, while the three gods ignored Sterl, the other two reacted excessively!
Gloria, who had already become disoriented, quietly closed her eyes, waiting for death.
She wasn't worried at all about being interrogated about her customized Iridescent-Level ability.
Gloria didn't even know where her customized Iridescent-Level ability came from. The peculiar beings from the human race of Earth, who used the Key of the Realms to reach the upper realms and store information, had left her a gift when they departed the lower realm.
Guided by the gift and after cultivating to become a deity, Gloria automatically acquired the perfectly suited Iridescent-Level ability...
However, the Dark Moon Goddess revealed a hint of a mocking smile, believing that the three gods were destined to be played by her, but then sensed that "David" had appeared!
Indeed, this time Sterl did not use any other disguise.
The protective aura of the Underworld King allowed Rosalie to easily understand that the figure who had emerged was none other than Sterl himself.
Even though Rosalie tried her best to conceal her emotional fluctuations, it was likely that she could not hide them from the nearby Gloria.
So, she might as well use a disguise!
This way, Gloria wouldn't be suspicious, thinking that Sterl was the kind of person who liked to hide his identity.
What if…
What if this time the Dark Moon Goddess managed to escape?
Counting losses before victories—that was Sterl's style.
As a result, Gloria's relief and joy dissipated in an instant, transforming into boundless fear and anxiety!
No…
What are you doing?
David, why are you here to court death?
Could it be that he truly came to rescue Rosalie??
She never expected David to be so devoted and righteous to this extent!
But facing a god, you're just asking for death!
"Run!"
The Dark Moon Goddess forced out the last of her Divine Power in a sudden burst. She had initially planned to wait until the three gods brought her close before detonating herself, thinking that perhaps she could leave her enemies with an everlasting memory with her life.
But why did David have to come and complicate things?
Gloria felt that she would have to sacrifice herself this time.
What infuriated her even more was that, just like before when she wanted Rosalie to run away, the three gods would also pursue David, leaving him no escape!
Plus, her customized Iridescent-Level skill had already exposed vital information.
"If I step in to protect David, it will definitely make those three gods think that he possesses key information."
"Isn't that worse?"
"But if I don't intervene, David will soon be torn apart by the aftermath on the battlefield."
"It's a dead end either way."
Gloria's mindset was completely shattered.
This was it!
If she fell here, David would also be lost, and the entire human race on Earth would lose even a single heir!
What would that mean…?
Gloria couldn't even fathom what severing the lineage would lead to; she simply felt an instinctive terror.
At this moment, if looks could kill, she would have liked to execute David with her gaze.
Wasn't this pure insanity? Did he really need to come and court death?
The other person in turmoil was Rosalie! Chapter Find:
She quietly watched her master floating in the air, unable to contain her overwhelming emotions!
Her mind went blank!
Rosalie was genuinely impressed, her heart echoing a single thought.
Her master was simply… too cool!!
She understood that Sterl's arrival was meant to accompany her to death! There was no other possibility.
Rosalie could hardly believe it; she never imagined that as a mere slave, she could occupy such a significant place in her master's heart!
He was willing to disregard even the two Mistresses for her??
What was this…?
This must be love!
So that's how it was!
Rosalie realized that Linna and Rayna were merely her master's family, while Teresa and Sosia were his subordinates.
Only I!
Am I different!
I am the beloved!
The story that was about to unfold was one of tragic devotion!
Rosalie's tears began to fall, but in an instant, they had no time to flow.
She recalled the times when she had continuously warned Sterl not to come out while relaying information.
But now, her master had still made his choice.
