Forces gather, harboring treacherous intentions; the rebellious god prepares for the final battle.

As the night deepened, the atmosphere at Shrek Academy grew increasingly heavy. The academy square was brightly lit, with the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial guards standing in formation, their armor glinting coldly. Spirit Masters from the remnants of Spirit Hall, dressed in black, were surrounded by chilling spirit power—Flender's plea for help had been answered. For their own interests, the two major forces chose to ally with Xiao Ling to jointly confront the God-Defying Squad.

Xiao Ling stood in the center of the square, his face pale but his eyes fanatical. Before him, the Third Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, dressed in luxurious brocade robes, looked arrogant: "Xiao Ling, this Prince can help you, but once the matter is settled, you must join the Heaven Dou Empire and serve the Imperial Family. Furthermore, the God-Defying Power of the God-Defying Squad and those women must all belong to the Imperial Family."

"No problem!" Xiao Ling agreed without the slightest hesitation, his eyes showing no doubt. "As long as I can kill Su Chen, I can agree to anything!" For the sake of revenge, he had long since cast aside his dignity and bottom line, becoming a pawn for various forces without even realizing it.

The leader of the Spirit Hall remnants, a Purple Robe Elder, curled his lips into a sinister smile: "Xiao Ling, we don't want much, only Su Chen's God-Defying Scepter and Medusa's Petrification Origin. Once the God-Defying Squad is dealt with, you and I will divide the spoils as agreed."

"Fine!" Xiao Ling still agreed readily, the Sea God Blue Silver Grass dancing gently around him, yet it could not hide the madness and paranoia deep in his eyes.

Watching this scene, Flender was filled with helplessness, yet he could only sigh—to save Shrek Academy, he had to make such a choice. Zhao Wuji stood to the side, his brow furrowed; he vaguely felt that allying with these highly utilitarian forces might not be a good thing, but by now, there was no turning back.

In a close-up shot, the flags of the three forces fluttered over the square: the golden dragon flag of the Heaven Dou Empire, the black snake flag of Spirit Hall, and the green academy flag of Shrek. They seemed united, but each harbored their own schemes. In a medium shot, Xiao Ling shook hands with the Third Prince and the Purple Robe Elder; the spirit powers of the three parties intertwined, yet carried a clear sense of repulsion. In a close-up, Xiao Ling's fingers trembled slightly; he thought he had found a backer, unaware that he had long since become a 'tool' in the eyes of others.

Meanwhile, atop the Angel God Temple, Qian Renxue unfurled her golden angel wings, a flash of determination in her azure eyes. She no longer paid heed to the final roars of the God Trials in her mind and leaped from the temple, speeding toward Shrek Academy. A golden light streaked across the night sky, much like the final choice she had made in her heart—she wanted to witness this duel with her own eyes and make a true choice for her own destiny.

During her flight, Qian Renxue's Angel God power gradually retracted, yet it still could not hide her powerful aura. She thought of what Su Chen had said about "breaking the shackles of divine power" and remembered the rapport and warmth among the Sisters of the God-Defying Squad. The confusion in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of anticipation—perhaps this duel would not only change the fates of Xiao Ling and Su Chen, but her own as well.

In the God-Defying Squad's camp, everyone was already geared up. The 15 Heroines were dressed in their respective combat attire, their bodies surrounded by the aura of power from their bond breakthroughs. Their eyes were firm, and their fighting Spirit was high.

Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass gently wrapped around Su Chen's wrist, life force flowing slowly to nourish his spirit power. Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floated above her head, its golden glazed light flickering, ready to activate its buffs at any moment. Xiao Wu's rabbit ears stood tall, pink spirit power dancing at her fingertips, eager to jump into action.

Medusa's black and white scales glinted coldly, her snake tail swaying gently, her red snake pupils filled with killing intent. Zi Yan's dragon phoenix wings unfurled, the Dragon Phoenix Flame burning with a scorching fighting Spirit. Xiao Xun Er's Colored Phoenix Fire condensed into a phoenix phantom, encircling her body.

Yun Yun's Wind Wings flapped as Wind Blades spiraled around her. Zhu Zhuqing's shadow-like figure was like a ghost, ready to strike at any moment. Kushina and Hanabi's chakra blades glowed red, their blades entwined with nishen markings.

Hinata's God-Defying Byakugan was activated, her white pupils tinged with black markings as she scouted distant movements. Qing Lin's Ancient Snake King coiled at her feet, the snake swarm hissing, ready for action. Xiao Yi Xian's pale green Poison Mist condensed into poison blades, sharp and lethal.

Karin's green healing halo surrounded her palms, ready to heal the Sisters at any time. Although Qian Renxue had not yet arrived, the Sisters could all feel a powerful Angel God force rapidly approaching, without the slightest hint of hostility.

Su Chen held the God-Defying Scepter, his black-gold eyes sweeping over the Sisters, his voice steady and powerful: "Set out! Target: Shrek Academy!"

"Yes!" the Sisters responded in unison, their voices echoing through the valley.

The group stepped onto their spirit power, speeding toward Shrek Academy. The 15 Heroines surrounded Su Chen, forming a brilliant landscape—pink rabbit ears, golden glazed light, black and white scales, Colored Phoenix Fire, and white Wind Wings. Various powers intertwined to form an indestructible barrier.

In a panoramic shot, the figures of the God-Defying Squad were like a streak of colored light cutting through the dawn sky. In a medium shot, Su Chen walked at the very front, the God-Defying Scepter glowing with black-gold light, the Sisters following closely behind with steady steps and perfect coordination. In a close-up, everyone's face bore a firm smile, their eyes without a trace of fear, only a longing for victory.

At Shrek Academy, the three forces were already prepared for battle. Xiao Ling stood at the forefront, the Sea God Blue Silver Grass spreading wildly, its golden vines carrying the aura of burning souls. The Heaven Dou Empire's imperial guards held spears, their spirit power condensing. The Spirit Hall Spirit Masters activated their Spirits, a chilling aura pervading the air. The Third Prince and the Purple Robe Elder stood at the back, their eyes full of greed for the God-Defying Power and the Heroines.

A duel concerning dignity, interests, and destiny was about to officially begin at the gates of Shrek Academy. Qian Renxue's golden light drew closer, the God-Defying Squad's colored light sped toward them, and the various forces at Shrek Academy stood ready. The fate of the continent was about to be completely changed in this confrontation.
