Moloch, a powerful being sealed for millennia, effortlessly repelled attacks from Xiyue and the Gundam robot. Despite Xiyue wielding the Power of the Primordial, Moloch’s divine power proved superior, shattering her blade. After insulting the remaining War Gods and subsequently being attacked by Lin Yi, Moloch grew frustrated. He acknowledged Lin Yi and Xiyue as masters of the Power of the Primordial, but believed their lack of divine power made them vulnerable as he prepared to unleash his full might.

Regarding Xiyue, even with her ability to harness the Power of the Primordial, Moloch perceived her impact as ultimately limited.

Xiyue’s close-quarters Gun Fighting Skill proved remarkably potent. When combined with her summoned robots, it wasn't an exaggeration to claim she could launch hundreds of attacks in every direction within a single second.

However, due to the sheer difference in power, Xiyue’s assaults scarcely garnered Moloch’s notice.

With mere flame tentacles extending from his body, Moloch could effortlessly contain Xiyue and her summons, a clear testament to the vast gulf in their strength.

It is true that when a god confronts mortals from a lesser realm, such mortals become exceedingly troublesome, if not entirely without hope.

Lin Yi and Moloch’s gazes met, a silent acknowledgment of each other’s complexity passing between them in a single glance.

A discernible hint of unease could be detected within Moloch’s stern regard.

Perceiving that Lin Yi held no immediate intention of engaging, Moloch opted against decisively striking Xiyue just yet. Instead, he casually managed the situation while maintaining a vigilant watch on Lin Yi.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as scorching flames, infused with Divine Power, converged toward the point of Moloch’s intense focus.

The robot, which had just raised its fist to strike Moloch’s minotaur form, witnessed the Source Power guided by that gaze manifest as a bull wreathed in flames.

An instant-cast skill?!

Xiyue’s heart constricted.

From the fiery light suddenly mirrored in her eyes, Xiyue could instantly gauge the contained power.

The force of her robot’s strike would hardly be noteworthy, even with its weapon already enveloped in the Power of the Meteor.

Yet, the Power of the Meteor and the intense heat of these flames seemed to belong to entirely different leagues. If one couldn't react swiftly enough, wouldn't their skills be instantly annihilated, leading to a skill backlash?

How could Xiyue possibly possess the might of a god?

Once Moloch committed to an action, the speed he displayed was far beyond Xiyue’s capacity to react.

As a Caster, Xiyue maintained absolute command over her every skill. With a mere thought, her abilities could be directed in any fashion she desired, including spell negation.

Boom!

In a swift flash of fiery trails, the Tier Seven mechanical skill-summoned robot was impaled directly through its chest.

Within the puncture, the divine-powered flames burned with unwavering intensity.

The firelight cast upon Xiyue’s ashen face, and the blood trickling from her lip’s corner rapidly evaporated in the extreme heat, forming a crimson line below her mouth, lending Xiyue an even more captivating allure.

Moloch, having seized the advantage with a singular blow, showed no inclination to press further.

The formidable fire bull, after breaching Xiyue’s robot, vanished back into Moloch’s form instantaneously.

He was acutely aware that Xiyue had been brought here by Lin Yi.

Observing the present dynamic, Lin Yi’s inaction stemmed not from a belief that the beautiful woman accompanying him could prevail, but more likely to afford her an opportunity for combat practice.

Without understanding Lin Yi’s true strength, or possessing the absolute certainty to vanquish him in one strike, Moloch hesitated to act rashly.

After painstakingly coalescing his remnant soul and regaining a portion of his former might, acting impulsively could lead to irreversible regret.

The [Light and Shadow Intertwine] skill was activated. Under Moloch’s bewildered gaze, Xiyue and her summoned robot materialized concurrently before Lin Yi.

"With me supplying you continuous Source Power and stamina, just don't hold back in this engagement. While this fellow is merely a remnant soul, his strength should not be underestimated. If my assessment is correct, he is a deity who commands the element of fire."

Lin Yi’s hand rested gently on Xiyue’s shoulder, mending her internal injuries and soothing her agitated lifeblood.

"Should you manage to acclimate to the temperature of this Divine Flame through your resilience, the subsequent process of absorption will become considerably smoother."

Absorption? Absorb what exactly?!

Moloch registered Lin Yi’s pronouncement, and within moments, grasped Lin Yi’s underlying intention.

To pit Xiyue, a combatant of lesser strength, against him, while Lin Yi served as a mobile power source, utilizing him as a mere training subject, was already an outrageous transgression.

With no alternative, the current Fire God possessed only a solitary remnant soul, incapable of manifesting even twenty to thirty percent of his former peak capabilities. Under such duress, it was understandable for Moloch to maintain a lower profile, feeling the distinct hierarchy between their combatants.

But now, not only was Lin Yi employing him as a mere punching bag, he also intended for Xiyue, this insignificant mortal, to absorb his essence. What a preposterous notion! They clearly held neither the reverence due a god nor the basic consideration for a person!

"Blast you! From whence did such an insolent brat emerge? Using this god as a mere sandbag is one thing, but do you truly believe this god is a pushover? I perceived a degree of strength in you and wished to sidestep excessive conflict, but now you..."

Before the sentence concluded, a multitude of formidable presences materialized as brilliant streaks, rapidly converging towards Lin Yi and the others' location. They ultimately descended with great force before Lin Yi and his companions, revealing their true forms. A diverse assembly of War God career holders, varying in age, gender, and even nationality, came into view.

A mere observation through the [Eye of All-Seeing] sufficed to ascertain the identities of these newcomers. War God-class professionals hailing from Xia, comprising 6 Supreme Law holders; War God-class professionals from the Beautiful Country, including 4 Supreme Law holders; War God-class professionals from the Ribuluo Country... In total, 67 War God-class professionals, a contingent so imposing it could make any nation on Parallel Blue Star tremble!

Yet, for Lin Yi and his group, this display of strength caused barely a ripple.

"Who are you?" From the ranks of the War Gods, one from the Beautiful Country, emboldened by the formidable allies flanking him, found the courage to step forward. Pointing imperiously at Lin Yi and the flame-encircled Moloch, he demanded an answer.

The insolence born from ignorance scarcely elicited a reaction from Lin Yi and Xiyue, who had no intention of taking it seriously. However, Moloch, already seething, was not about to overlook such an affront. Mere mortal ants daring to point a finger at a god and utter curses; was this not a blatant invitation to death?

Without any preamble or casting delay, a colossal and intensely scorching presence began to coalesce directly above the heads of the Blue Star War Gods. It formed a cloud that burned redder than blood itself. The palpable aura of danger it exuded sent a bone-chilling tremor through the War Gods assembled from Blue Star. An overwhelming and stifling sensation struck deep into the very core of their souls.

Almost instinctively, they invoked the Power of Law inherent within them, enveloping themselves securely. Swiftly thereafter, they activated their flight and acceleration skills, dispersing with utmost haste. Whoosh~

A colossal pillar of crimson flame, boasting a diameter of one hundred meters, erupted from above and plummeted downwards. It descended with absolute dominion upon the audacious War God from the Beautiful Country. In the span of a single blink, the flame pillar vanished. All within its path was annihilated by the intense heat. As for the arrogant War God, not a trace of him remained, not even his Lifebound Law, which was mercilessly obliterated.

"You, you are actually!"
