Hope And Dusk

Yun Ming, the recently ascended First Class Atlas God twirled his spear as he moved through the legion of enemy gods.

The Atlas Spear struck like lightning.

The spear was sweeping, hitting, chopping, and thrusting. With every move, Yun Ming was wounding the gods around him as his spear movement grew faster.

With a tilt of his head, he evaded a streak of light while spinning the spear in his hand with his wrist, he stabbed out.

It was too fast!

Piercing through time, almost puncturing the throat of a Second Class God who was barely able to defend against the attack.

But Yun Ming didn't continue trying to attack, he pulled back his spear, spinning it as it erupted out with divine energy.

Just as from high above, numerous attacks came downwards, hacking down on him. They were tightly compacted, the overwhelming wave of attacks rushed down on Yun Ming who expressed grimace.

He wasn't confident in being able to outrun these attacks or defending against them completely.

Fortunately, he didn't have to as a figure move past him, hands outstretching out as energy erupted outwards.

The energy continued moving out before forming into a maelstrom that exuded the presence of faith and life energy.

The maelstrom began interweaving the divided energy around the Atlas spear, increasing the size of the maelstrom both were making.

Just as the violent waves of attack crashed into the maelstrom which not only devoured the waves of attack but sent them right back.

"Yali...Shouldn't you be on the other side healing-,"

Yali, the First Class Goddess of Hope shook her head before smiling at Yun Ming. "Wherever you are, I will be."

Yun Ming blinked before he let out a laugh. "Right, my mistake... Let's go."

"Of course."

The aura of hope had already spread to the Gods and Divine Beasts of the Douluo Side. With the power of hope, the gods not only felt stronger but also more confident.

As the power of hope strengthens their will and determination to make it through this war.

With smiles on their face, Yali and Yun Ming charged forward!

A Tiger Head God charged forward, a golden spear in his hand, stabbing out momentum as he pierced through time.

Just like lightning, the long spear stabbed directly towards Ye Xinglan who was done chopping a person in half.

The Goddess of Stars, Ye Xinglan didn't flinch one bit, even as the spear appeared right behind her.

Just as it raced towards her back, space behind her began to distort before it formed a golden vortex.

'Star Vortex.'

To the shock of the Tiger Head God, he saw his spear bending as it was being drawn into the star vortex. Gritting his teeth, he tried to pull away but to his horror found that he was consuming immortal qi every time he pulled.

Yet knowing that was his only hope, he continued pulling.

But how could the First Class Goddess Of Stars, Ye Xinglan let him off so easily?

The Stargod sword in Ye Xinglan's hand was raised as she walked over to the Tiger Head God step by step.

"Too late."

Ye Xinglan spoke these two words. She chopped with her the Stargod sword in her hands.

It seemed like a normal chop but the results were anything but normal. As the sword radiance tore through outer space, hacking straight through the Tiger Head God who was at the First Class.

The Tiger Head God felt its head being split, its soul being hacked apart, and the body directly exploding turning into a rain of blood.

Those Second and Third Class Gods, that were around paled, not from the Tiger Head God dying in one strike.

But from the sword in Ye Xinglan's hand, releasing the presence of an Ultra Divine. It terrified all of them when they saw her coming towards them.

Indeed, the Tiger Head God died because Ye Xinglan Stargod's sword had been upgraded to an Ultra Divine.

This was due to Ye Xinglan taking the Onyx Cal and fusing it with her Stargod sword. After breaking into the God-Level, Ye Xinglan wondered if she could utilize the Onyx Cal to help elevate her Stargod sword.

As it was only a Semi-Divine weapon after she became a God. But what she didn't account for was the Onyx Cal fusing with her Stargod sword, transforming it into something greater.

Glancing at her Stargods word, she saw the streaks of black and white going through it, the Onyx Cal features were added.

It was then seven swords appeared behind her, all of them gave off the pressure of a Semi-Divine Weapon.

Another benefit of Onyx Cal being absorbed by her Stargod sword. It pushed these seven swords to the Semi-Divine Ranks since the Stargod Sword was an Ultra Divine.

Drawing power from not only the Stargod sword but also these Seven Semi-Divine swords. Ye Xinglan rushed out, these Seven Swords trailing behind her as her figure flashed out.

Slash!

Chop!

Pierce!

Ye Xinglan slaughtered her way through the gods in front, her seven swords instantly flashing through the ones who didn't die.

Some of them died from getting pierced through, others from bisection, and the rest from decapitation.

None of them were able to resist Ye Xinglan's weapons and skills that gave off the presence of a God-King.

But if this wasn't enough, all of the swords moved towards the Stargod sword, combining together to form the Reality Sword.

As soon as the rows of Gods saw the Reality Sword, all of them shudder and felt a horrifying terror.

As the presence of a God-King exuded even more from the sword, as if a God-King was right before them, peering down.

Then with one slash, Ye Xinglan beheaded thousands of the Second Class and Third Class Gods. None of them were able to resist her attack that severs fate and reality alongside the powers her other swords control.

Such as the Ruler Sword's control over the laws, he severed that as well. The attack ignores all of the god's defense, resistance, and regeneration, obliterating their soul instantly.

Not only that but the Reality Sword unleashed an attack on the scale of a Peak God-King full strength.

A true one hit, one kills attack!

Not even First-Class Gods would dare to defend against this attack, opting to evade it rather than daring to clash with it.

So how could Second and Third Class Gods possibly survive it?

But she didn't stop for a second, as she rushed onward. Her Reality sword reverting to her Stargod sword and the seven swords trailing behind her.

Towards another row of God.

While this was going on, across from her Wu Siduo was clashing with a God-King who wanted to sneak attack Ye Xinglan.

But she was able to intercept the attack which was her role. Intercept any attacks that she could, kill any of the God-Kings if she found the chance.

Gu Yuena knew out of everyone. Wu Siduo would be the best for this role.

Since she was the Goddess of Victory, the god who embodies the concept of victory and governs its power.

Wu Siduo out of all of them had the best ability to determine what would be needed to ensure victory in these skirmishes.

Wu Siduo had already unleashed her fusion state with her battle armor, as she blasted out with her fist, which directly smashed out.

'Reflection.'

Scales and glass started to form around Wu Siduo's fist as she blasted out.

The God-King roared out as she lashed out with her leg which erupted with ice intent that started to freeze the area around.

Instantly they clashed, fist and leg!

Their direct clash sent shockwaves through the area, warping the higher-dimensional space and time around them.

Yet the expression of the God-King changed as she released a scream, her leg shattering, as Wu Siduo fist drove forth.

The God-King instantly knew that Wu Sido reflected her attack on her. But it was Wu Siduo's fist that shattered her leg, as the God-King could feel the atoms in her leg were atomized.

Gritting her teeth, the God-King spat out streams of ice, which swept onward with absolute zero.

But Wu Siduo didn't halt her attack, her eyes shined serenely as her body glowed a golden light.

One of her divine skills turned her invulnerable to all attacks and abilities for six seconds. Just as the icy cold wind smashed into her but instead of Wu Sido being frozen completely.

The golden light smashed the icy cold wind away as her fist struck the God-King through her chest causing her to cough out blood.

Before power erupted from Wu Siduo's fist, the body of the God-King started to collapse, limbs crumbling apart.

Even the God-King could only release a cry yet she gritted her teeth as her eyes glowed before two streaks of light hacked out.

But instead of crashing into Wu Siduo, these two lights missed her by a wide margin to the God-King disbelief.

As it should be impossible for her to miss at such a close distance. While Wu Siduo continued her assault on the God-King, she understood it was hard to kill a God-King.

Feeling her strength being amplified even more from her previous successful attacks, she blasted out with her other hand.

Her fist smashed into the face of the God-King, shattering it and plowing through it. Just as her other fist crashed into the God-King divine soul and eradicated it.

All of this happened in an instant, shocking the gods around the area. While the gods and divine beast on her side who saw it, cheered even more as they felt a sense of glory and pride in their hearts.

Yet this shouldn't be a surprise, considering Wu Siduo's abilities. With her normal cultivation of a God-King combined with her Divine Self-fusion which was at the God-King level.

It wasn't wrong to say she could take on four God-Kings at the same time without being at disadvantage. Her Battle armor and terrifying divine skills made her offense even stronger, yet combine all of that with her God Position.

Which continues to amplify her strength the more success she has in anything she does and the bigger her ambition is.

And It would be hard for anyone to defend against her offensive strike.

The God-King died not because she was weak but because Wu Siduo's one strike wasn't something a single God-King could withstand.

This is why Gu Yuena and Na'er focused on her development, propelling her to God-King. They knew that Wu Siduo's vast assortment of skills made her the most terrifying in close combat.

With her abilities, it was possible to kill a God-King fast and swiftly, which is something they needed to do.

But also her God Position which was the Goddess of Victory. Which was the biggest factor in this war, as it would help increase the probability of victory for others around her.

The gods who have been fighting around Wu Siduo area were stunned.

The scene of Wu Siduo killing a God-King being imprinted in their heart unleashed a sense of reverential awe and captivation.

It was alluring, majestic, and terrifying.

Such a scene began overriding anything, wisps, of fear or tiredness they had from fighting against so many gods.

This leads to them fighting even more ferocious, ignoring the wounds on their body and simply rushing forward.

Shocking the legion of Gods who started to get push back,

Wu Siduo nodded her head at them, pleased at the reaction before she spotted her next God-King target.

Without a second thought, she dashed towards them.

In another part of the battlefield, another heated battle was happening. An area that was shrouded with darkness

"You pests just won't die."

First Class God roared out with a Semi-Divine Weapon in his hand, a battle-ax which was flickering with cold radiance.

The great ax descended, hacking down towards the First Class Goddess of Dusk, Yuanen Yehui whose eyes only narrowed.

Twelve wings made out of impenetrable darkness sprouted behind her, alongside countless dark vortices that began to unleash a continuous wave of dusk.

As the ax approached the wave, it started to gain visible cracks upon it! Not only the ax but space around as well, it was crumbling and breaking down.

The First Class God furrowed his brow, letting go of his ax, space warping around him. He vanished before appearing behind Yuanen Yehui while blasting out with his fist.

Yuanen Yehui snorted, her eyes flashed with a malevolent light. Behind her sprouted swirling orbs that began to erupt like brilliant fireworks.

The First Class God expression turned grim, to his disbelief, his hand started to break down into pieces. With his arm gaining cracks as well causing God to hastily back away from Yuanen Yehui.

Such was the power of the Goddess of Dusk. Her control over the concept of dusk, which represented the beginning of the end of things.

Allowed her to give anything an end, from a person to artifacts to even attack rained down on her.

Meanwhile, Yuanen Yehui hacked out her own Semi-Divine, Fallen Animas down on the ax in front of her, ear-splitting noise rang out.

As a result, the 4th-dimensional spaces directly collapsed, the cracks extending significantly, the place around starting to collapse.

The Semi-Divine ax started to shatter, Yuanen Yehui inducing an end to it. Before the world expanded out from Yuanen Yehui.

A blue vortex expanded from under her, with shrill screams and wails of the dead ringing out. If one looked inside of the vortex, they could see over a billion arms reaching out.

"Where did you think you were going?"

Yuanen Yehui narrowed her eyes as the arms shot towards the First Class god, whose expression got worse.

The arms hacked out towards it, all of them containing the aura of death. Gritting his teeth, the First Class God vanished, appearing close to some of the other gods around.

These other Gods began to rain down attacks upon the arms that were hacking towards them.

As the arms and the attack clashed, some of the arms got destroyed as the ghost wailing grew even more.

Yet some of the arms pierced through the cloud of smoke, crashing into the bodies of some of the gods around.

While this was going on, the injured First Class God escaped once more but Yuanen Yehui had appeared right behind him.

In her hand was Fallen Animas which was erupting out with terrifying dusk, darkness, and fire energy through the area.

Before the First Class God could escape once again, a dark wave swept through the area. In the next moment, he felt himself stagger, just as the sword hacked down on it.

The overwhelming wave of energy tore through the spaces, cutting across the area and illuminating the whole place in purplish-gold and black.

Sword energy crushed down on the First Class God, his eyes widening as he felt the blade ripping through his body.

Before it cut straight through him. with blood splashing out. But if that wasn't enough, the dusk intent began to ravage the god's body, leading to its whole body to crumble.

Including its Divine Soul causing the God to fully die, erased from existence.
