Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1620 - 560: Chaotic Battle (Part 2)

....

Dragan Empire.

Buried deep underground, hundreds of meters below a shadowy ancient woodland, a gigantic divine form rested in secrecy. Its sealed eyelids appeared to quiver just a bit.

A translucent specter lifted from the form, face grave, and whispered:

"Yet another local creature rising to demigod status?"

"Such a nuisance..."

The very next moment, the specter disappeared from sight, and over the remnants of the floating city, an enormous silhouette materialized.

"Eh? This feels like..." As the outline sharpened into view, it turned out to be the God of Hunting, Luen.

...

Within a certain utterly dark ocean depth, a huge shellfish parted its valves a touch, releasing the phantom of a girl in dark robes.

"Could another local being be elevating in this realm?"

"Odd... apart from that previous human ruler, nobody ought to advance so swiftly..."

"Oh, this location—it's heading toward that so-called Federation?"

Right away, the phantom of the Nether Sea Goddess Hela dissolved into the waters and reemerged above the floating city ruins, beside the God of Hunting, Luen.

Comparable events unfolded in various spots across the globe.

Following the Nether Sea Goddess Hela's arrival, a massive snake bearing three tormented human visages on its throat also manifested...

Moments later, yet another presence arose—a grand male god adorned with a gem-encrusted crown and gleaming golden plate, boasting many extra limbs.

....

In practically no time, the towering phantoms hovering over the floating city swelled to seven.

This sight made the expressions of the Federation's epic powerhouses, who were debating Rein's choice to elevate here, shift back and forth wildly!

"Fall back! All of you, hurry to the negative first level!" Sword Saint Terrio bellowed.

Should just one divine projection show up, they could surely clash with it and possibly triumph. With two, battle remained feasible, though success grew doubtful.

Three would render victory all but unattainable.

Regarding the present chaos, facing seven evil god projections in total... fleeing was their sole option!

While the Federation's Dawn experts hastily withdrew, the divine projections spared them only a brief look, showing no interest or motion. Instead, they rapidly shared thoughts:

"A potent barrier spell formation blocks this place; even we can't breach it straight in," the God of Hunting Luen pondered aloud.

"Indeed, judging by its look, it hails from an old civilization of this plane," the Evil God Grek replied somberly.

"Regardless, we have to halt that local entity's rise."

"Some robust mortals linger here; consume..."

"Ignore those insects. Even mighty insects remain insects. Our task is to prevent the mightiest insect from evolving."

The Nether Sea Goddess Hela sensed that the brief aura carried a vague sense of recognition.

So, under the stunned gazes of the Federation's Dawn experts, the immense divine projections stepped into the floating city sequentially.

Once on the second level, they ignored the jail's fissure and instead shattered the metallic surface of the negative second level, pressing further down.

...

Right then, Rein's elevation hit its pivotal stage.

The psychic nucleus in his mind's ocean, akin to a splitting atomic reactor, now throbbed vigorously like a beating organ.

Each throb sent minuscule tri-colored gem fragments looping through the fissures over and again.

"Oh? It wrapped up right away!" Rein's forehead creased in pleasant surprise.

Truthfully, he had picked the floating city ruins to delay the evil gods' swift approach, but the whole elevation unfolded far more seamlessly than expected.

Thanks to the system's aid, what should have lasted around ten minutes finished in a flash.

This granted Rein plenty of opportunity and assurance to tackle whatever came next.

"Eh? That inner summons sensation is..."

Abruptly, Rein directed his gaze to a far-off spot, face filled with confusion.

Because from that bearing, he detected a summons emerging as if from nothingness.

Yet before it could persist a handful of seconds, the abrupt rending of the overhead metal slab cut it short!

"At last... they've arrived!"

Rein shifted his attention to the freshly entered divine projections, a trace of grin playing on his lips.

In sharp opposition,

the instant she spotted Rein, the lovely visage of the Nether Sea Goddess Hela stiffened right up.

Since the youth grinning before her was far too recognizable!

"You! The desecrator!"

She had never imagined the ascender would be Rein!

"You!" The God of Hunting Luen's face twisted into something foul.

During the Temrael clash in the Dragan Empire, his projection fell to this very youth standing there, turning him into a joke among these divinities.

And he regarded it as a profound disgrace.

Yet astonishingly, this youth had now crossed into the demigod realm they feared above all.

"How did your elevation happen so quickly!" The Evil God Grek's gaze tightened as he uttered.

"Likely some hidden method, but it won't save him. Right now, his form hasn't completed the shift. Our combined projection might will suffice to erase him!"

The God of Hunting Luen declared in an icy voice!

As the evil gods geared up to strike, all at once, the Nether Sea Goddess Hela lifted her sight aside and noted:

"Hold on, something's stirring that way."

With a boom, an odd goblin wreathed in dark mist erupted from underneath.
