Chapter 967 Clash With The Divine

Chapter 967 Clash With The Divine

Orion slammed his foot on the ground, creating another twenty-six-meter-wide crater as he controlled the swing of his sword and turned around, slicing her from her lower body up to her upper body.

Orion completed his attack before the young woman's head separated from her body, causing her body to split into two parts that fell on opposing sides of the ground.

The miniature sun had already clashed against the barrier, lighting the environment with a bright orange-yellowish hue. But just as he expected, the miniature sun soon dissipated, unable to force a tear through the barrier or even cause it to tremble.

Orion landed on the ground, his gaze fixed on the sliced body parts scattered before him, before raising his hand to inspect the dent the Crimson Greatsword had made on the Sundial. Despite inadvertently attacking the Sundial due to her proximity, it had only a small chip at the side, causing Orion to frown as he examined it.

The sky soon dissipated and returned to normal, as if the sky had given up on its futile task.

Aerialia arrived before Orion, glancing at the woman before shifting her attention to him. "Didn't you learn something from what I told you about the gods?" she asked, her eyes lingering on the corpse, which slowly twitched and stretched towards its severed pieces as if trying to reassemble itself.

"She was about to draw a weapon," Orion explained, withdrawing his gaze from the sky and looking at the finely crafted dagger with ruby on its base lying on the ground. He then shifted his attention towards the goddess, slowly healing and merging back together.

Hearing Orion's words, Aerialia exhaled and shook her head. "She'll be healed soon. In the meantime, we should get everyone to a safer location."

Orion observed as the young woman was fully healed but remained unconscious. He shifted his attention around him, surveying the surroundings, and nodded tiredly in understanding.

Almost instantly, warriors began to gather within the wreckage, their eyes fixed on Orion, his armour and the Crimson Greatsword in his grasp, and the unconscious young woman lying beside him.

The warriors wore shocked and bewildered expressions as they looked at Stronghold Leader Zogar, Seth and the other unconscious warriors.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly get the Former Village Chief and the others, and summon the healers immediately," Orion commanded sternly, his voice snapping the warriors out of their daze.

....

Orion recounted everything that had transpired to Key Leaders ––Former Village Chief Brane, Chieftess Zara, Stronghold Leader Zogar, Seth, Queen Selene, High King Kael, High Queen Celeria, Village Chief Reena, and the Caretakers.

Although they had all been present and witnessed everything firsthand, they couldn't help but be stunned and astonished, especially when Orion reached the latter part of his explanation.

A miniature sun descending from the sky!

A resurrected goddess, presumably the creator of the Prismerion race!

Their heads began to swirl as if they could not properly process such information.

"Chief, I want to see her. If she's my goddess, then I'll know the moment I set my eyes on her," Queen Selene said, her expression calm as she fixed her eyes on Orion.

Although she appeared composed, she couldn't help but feel a tumult of emotions within her heart. The fact that her goddess had resurrected was enough for her to want to rush out of the room and towards her location, but she restrained herself from displaying such an unseemly sight.

Orion nodded at her words before turning his attention toward the other key leaders to hear their thoughts.

"Honestly, I'm more interested in meeting a real goddess right now, especially after the damage she caused in our territory," Stronghold Leader Zogar said, holding back his stunned expression.

As one of the individuals closest to the Sundial when the event transpired, he had unmistakably felt the oppressive, dreadful aura that rendered even a five-star warrior like him unconscious. Along with being wary about having another god among them, he was more concerned about understanding her intentions.

"I'm also interested in seeing who this goddess is and understanding how she's connected to Naka," Stronghold Leader Seth added, his expression stern.

The underlying meaning behind his words was clear to everyone.
