193: Faith Protection

When large numbers of demons poured into their respective God Domains, their respective dependents quickly responded under the guidance of their gods.

The Cyclops immediately shouldered their giant clubs and drove their herded giant beasts to charge into the enemy formation.

The nimble Halflings leaped onto the Cyclops' shoulders and shouted loudly into their ears:

"GO! GO! GO! Let's fight to our heart's content! Hey—you stupid beast, get out of my way! Don't block the path!"

The Cyclops' brains were not very good, and they were muddled all day long.

Although the Halflings were weak, their minds were much more flexible than the Cyclops'.

Thus, under the guidance of the Cyclops' God, the two became excellent combat partners.

On the other side, the Earth God's massive divine body stomped his foot, and the entire God Domain trembled.

Countless Ironclad Rhinos burst forth from various valleys, followed by dense swarms of earth-element magical beasts, converging into a steel torrent rushing towards the edge of the God Domain.

The demons did not engage them head-on, still employing the tactic of ambushing from within the shadow space.

The two God Lords, seeing no trace of the enemy, knew that staying any longer would only lead to a slow death.

So, with a tacit understanding, they ordered their dependents to break into the enemy's God Domain and destroy the God Domain Core.

Soon, two massive armies rushed towards the connecting passage, their terrifying numbers immediately occupying the entire passage.

But during the charge, dependents were constantly killed by the elusive demons, ultimately being submerged in the beast tide.

The two God Lords could only desperately hold on against the demigods' encirclement.

Seeing the enemy split their forces to destroy their God Domain Core, they immediately grew anxious and quickly pulled out their communication cards to request support.

At this moment, the ruthless man waiting outside received the message.

Upon learning that dozens of demigods were attacking the two's God Domain Core, he quickly made his deployment.

"Troll, you pick a few Lower Gods to attack that black star together, directly attacking his God Domain Core. The rest of you will attack the resource points with me."

The round, fat man, referred to as "Troll" by the ruthless man, immediately selected seven familiar Lower Gods after receiving the order.

It was clear he was a cautious fellow, directly poking someone else's nest and picking so many people.

The ruthless man said nothing more upon seeing this; more people were better, and ending the battle quickly would allow them to support the others sooner.

He was only afraid that he would deliberately engage in a back-and-forth fight with the opponent and not participate in the direct battlefield.

At the ruthless man's command, the army split into two parts and rushed towards their respective targets.

Ye Chen naturally saw their movements and issued an order to the invading demigods.

"Don't linger in battle! Finish it quickly!"

The demigods, upon hearing this, naturally dared not disobey. They endured a massive onslaught of attacks and rushed to the God Domain Core, shattering it.

As the two God Domains shattered, all the dependents, along with the God Domain fragments, were pulled into the Abyss.

At this moment, the Troll also discovered the fate of the two, making him even more grateful for his caution.

If he had truly sent only a few people to support, who knows what the outcome would have been.

Soon, eight stars surrounded the dark black star cluster, launching an attack simultaneously.

Eight connecting passages blocked all its retreat routes, one of which was exceptionally wide.

Facing the invasion of the eight God Lords, Ye Chen gave it his utmost attention.

The other God Lords were not a concern, only one Troll God aroused his vigilance.

This Troll God was actually a Middle God!

Large numbers of trolls poured out from his God Domain, rushing towards that wide passage.

Frost Trolls, Flame Trolls, Jungle Trolls, Sand Trolls...

The weakest of these trolls were at least Extraordinary-level Tier 4, while the strongest were sixty-five Zandalari Trolls.

Zandalari Trolls are the ancestors of all trolls, possessing a long history and powerful magical abilities.

They possessed Tier 7 strength, and the leading trolls had even reached the peak of Tier 7, seemingly not far from Tier 8.

But the threshold of Tier 8 was like an insurmountable chasm, hundreds of times harder than rising from Tier 1 to the peak of Tier 7.

This was also the awkward position of many Middle Gods and even some Upper Gods.

Within their God Domains, Tier 6 and Tier 7 dependents were commonplace, yet they lacked a Tier 8 stabilizing force.

Only a few God Domains that had developed for countless years could barely break this constraint.

Of course, there were also some fortunate God Lords who, during their development, nurtured chosen ones or high-potential heroes who could break through divine ranks and ascend to the God Throne.

In Forest of Ten Thousand Bones, only the Bone King and a few high-ranking officials possessed Tier 8 dependents; others could only rely on Tier 7 demigods to maintain their prestige.

Soon, led by the Zandalari Trolls, the troll army poured out, advancing into the Abyss.

The other God Lords were no exception, sending out their elite troops.

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up upon seeing this. This Troll God was too careless, daring to send out his entire force.

Wasn't this flaunting his own God Domain Core right in front of him?

Who could resist that?

Soon, a large squad of demons quietly sneaked over, intending to directly raid his base.

The Troll God in the void naturally discovered these rats.

But he merely sneered disdainfully, uttered a contemptuous "Bumpkins," and continued to observe the invading forces' battle.

Upon reaching the God Domain Core, the demons immediately launched an attack, various flashy skills shooting towards the brightly glowing orb, attempting to shatter it.

The orb was quickly submerged, and when the chaotic elements around it subsided, the demons realized that the orb was completely unharmed.

Above the orb was a transparent light shield firmly enveloping it.

This seemingly ordinary light shield was incredibly tough; various attacks struck it without creating the slightest ripple.

The demons were not discouraged and launched their ultimate moves again, hoping to break through this light shield.

But no matter what kind of attack, they could not shake the orb, and the light shield seemed to have no consumption whatsoever.

Ye Chen, who was observing the situation in the void, frowned slightly and inquired of the Abyss Will:

"What is that light shield? How can it be broken?"

Soon, some information appeared in Ye Chen's mind.

"Faith Protection: Utilizes the power of believers' faith to construct an invincible protective shield, capable of blocking physical, magical, elemental, mental, soul, sound wave, and other attacks. Killing believers can weaken the shield's effectiveness. Can be constructed by Middle Gods."

Upon learning the specific information about this light shield, Ye Chen's doubts were finally resolved.

No wonder that guy was so arrogant; he had something to rely on after all.

With this light shield in place, he could only clash head-on with his army, weakening it to a certain extent before being able to break the God Domain Core.

This also shattered Ye Chen's plan to raid the base.

It seemed that in the future, when facing a Middle God, he would have to fight a proper, solid battle.

The only unfair thing was that his Abyss did not produce faith power, so he wondered if he would have this "Faith Protection" when he reached Middle God status.
