14 The Goddess descending from the sky..

In the midst of the chaos and impending monster onslaught, the Uruk soldiers guarding the World of Warcraft Forest exchanged glances, a mixture of awe for Luo Wei's words and sheer horror at the brewing riot.

But even these experienced warriors who were stationed outside the forest and guarded the country could not figure out why the scale this time was so large.

But Luo Wei remained calm.

Because the scale of this riot was originally his handiwork.

While the Warcraft were unique creatures, they were still beasts at their core.

As beasts, they were susceptible to succumbing to madness under various external stimuli.

The 'Gates of Babylon' and the formidable Noble Phantasms on display had served precisely this purpose.

Although the treasures collected by Gilgamesh couldn't rival those of the gods, the gap wasn't insurmountable.

This demonstration of power, coupled with the palpable sense of impending crisis it instilled in the Warcraft, had achieved its immediate effect—

"Step back! You can't withstand the scale of this!"

Facing the rushing torrent and rolling vegetation, Luo Wei walked to the other side of the wall and stood still, taking another look at the guard leader.

The young and tall warrior was silent for a moment, knowing that he could no longer delay.

"Everyone - retreat inside the wall!" He ordered loudly and then said: "Master Priest, please be careful!"

The soldiers quickly retreated into the wall.

The gates were firmly shut.

In the vast expanse between the wall and the forest, only Luo Wei remained, standing resolute in the face of the impending cataclysm.

The golden ripples surrounding him grew more intense.

All possible obstacles have been removed.

Luo Wei smiled.

Tightened the sacrificial robe tightly around his body, advanced instead of retreating, and faced the attack.

Under the spotlight——

He seemed even happier.

Not only because his goal was about to be achieved but also because of what he was doing at this moment.

Luo Wei has always felt that his 'golden finger' (cheat) was very troublesome.

But the power that was at the top of the Throne of Heroes, which could only be obtained by dying once, has always been Luo Wei's reliance.

Because of this, he was not afraid of death.

Because of this, he was able to ignore many things that ordinary people fear.

Whether he insulted Gilgamesh in public or criticized Ishtar, he said it was because he wanted to die, but in fact, it was something he really wanted to do but would not dare to do so under normal circumstances.

The same was true at this moment.

By ordering the Uruk soldiers to retreat behind the wall, he allowed himself to face the onslaught of thousands of monsters alone, guarding their borders, their homeland, and their nation.

The soldiers of Uruk were warriors driven by unwavering convictions.

They shouldn't die here like this.

They should have a longer life journey.

and...

"I can also be a hero and die heroically for once!"

It was an absolute win-win.

Luo Wei stood still.

The roar of the monsters echoed, and the world ahead was obscured by dust and smoke.

Amidst this chaos, pairs of scarlet eyes blazed with wild madness.

He extended his arms wide, a gesture that signified neither surrender nor submission.

In this dramatic moment, in front of so many witnesses, Luo Wei wanted to die, but not in such a manner.

To put on such a grand performance and then got torn apart by the monsters in an instant.

That wouldn't be the act of a hero; it would be that of a mere clown.

The Joker might make it to the Throne of Heroes by chance, but he could never attain the throne that Luo Wei had set aside for himself.

Otherwise, he would have committed suicide long ago!

Hence, he decided to clear the area first and then follow the script—while facing the remaining monsters, he'd pretend to inadvertently expose a vulnerability.

So, at this moment...

Streams of sparkling, splintering light converged within seconds as the trembling Noble Phantasm amassed colossal kinetic energy.

Its razor-sharp edges sent ripples through the air, turning it into fragments of pure white.

"If you have the guts, come over, you beasts!" Luo Wei opened his hands wide, and his dark eyes reflected the thousands of troops.

The originally blue sky was submerged by the huge torrent of magic brought by the terrifying beast tide, turning into a large crimson scene.

The soldiers within the city walls held their breath.

The people on the wall were equally transfixed by the unfolding spectacle.

They understood that, regardless of the outcome, this was a moment they would never forget in their lifetimes.

It was impossible to forget because this was like an image from an even more ancient heyday of mythology.

Mighty heroes used their sheer presence to quell the monstrous forces plaguing the world, while ancient sages wielded scepters representing the gods to part seas.

No physical combat was necessary; no hand-to-hand struggle was needed.

The battle was already over.

Indeed.

The legion of magical beasts, upon hearing Luo Wei's resonant declaration, came to a halt and abandoned their aggressive advance.

Then, as if of one mind, they turned—

And fled.

Dust clouds rose, brushing against fallen leaves.

Eyes full of loneliness.

Luo Wei's whole body was frozen.

Although this scene looked like he had single-handedly instilled fear in these originally unscrupulous monsters, making these beasts that caused great trouble to the Uruk border unable to stop wanting to stay away from him.

But Luo Wei himself is actually confused.

No, why are you running?

Come here!

Are all Warcraft so timid??

He wanted to question so loudly.

However, soon, he knew why the monster retreated.

"Is this... a song full of distress?" Luo Wei raised his head and, relying on the heightened perception of a priest, captured a subtle echo in the roar and trampling that seemed to tear the world apart.

Singing with divinity.

But full of trouble.

Thinking of the 'shooting star' he had seen before, he suddenly understood——

"The goddess who made Enkidu...Aluru?"

Not Enkidu.

But rather, the goddess who had crafted the clay-based humanoid weapon, 'Enkidu,' infused with the power of the gods, had fallen into this very forest?

According to later legends, Enkidu was first born in a silent ancient forest.

Although the goddess Aluru was most likely the same as the previous Ishtar..both in a state of dependence.

But a goddess was a goddess, after all.

Even in her possessed state, she retained her power at a scale that far exceeded most beings in the world, surpassed only by demigod heroes like Gilgamesh.

The monsters didn't dare to disobey when they heard the call from the crisp sound.

Or maybe...

The previous riots were also because the monsters sensed that Aluru would come here.

They were afraid of the goddess in the heaven, so they might have rushed to the outside with all their strength, trying to escape from here.

Luo Wei fell into deep thought.

"I've heard that when the goddess Aluru was assigned the task of shaping Enkidu by the gods, she agonized over her inability to create the perfect form..."

"From this melody, it's evident that the goddess was deeply troubled."

"She was shaken by her 'craft'—"

"In this state, it is easy to be attracted by the outside world, causing mood changes and becoming manic and irritable..."

That's it.

He immediately rushed to the scene to laugh!
