Chapter 324: Chapter 281 Only He Is God!

Ninur leaned against the sky full of fierce flames, staring at the Forest God Lipo atop a huge canopy, and couldn’t help but find this god, who governed the Secret Forest, laughable.

Among the gods of the Celestial Kingdom, there was a gap between gods, and a hierarchy among divine powers, each rank signifying a nearly insurmountable boundary.

And as the Fire God, Ninur was a Fourth Rank divine, while Forest God Lipo was merely a Third Rank god.

The gap between Fourth and Third Rank was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Forest God Lipo desperately spurred the growth of the great trees, covering the burning canopy with layers of timber, ceaselessly allowing thousands of trees to perish and be reborn in an attempt to extinguish the wildfire.

Fire God Ninur spoke no more. Since the Forest God had decided to appear before him, intent on preventing his punishment of Seleucus, and he had long been determined to defy the order established by Divine King Shan En, then he might as well, right here, settle both new grudges and old.

He exhaled, and the sea of fire under his feet instantly exploded, burning ever more fiercely. The entire sky lit up, dazzlingly bright and white, as the scorching air gathered into a heatwave, sweeping through every corner of the Royal Capital, the walls of its streets glowing red-hot, nearly melting onto the ground.

The great trees crackled in the fire, their sounds resembling mournful wails.

Forest God Lipo kept exerting his divine power, forcing the giant trees under his feet to grow desperately towards the sky. Branches and leaves sprouted continually to bury the burning areas, resisting the heavy sea of flames.

Fire God disdained any concern for this, for no matter how hard the Forest God tried, it was all in vain. The constantly growing, overlapping might of the giant trees could never withstand the burning of the flames.

Ninur’s divine power surged massively, flames billowing like waves, one after another smacking down upon the divine forest at his feet, the fire burning fiercely, turning those great trees into its own fuel.

Whether it was the gap in divine power or the elemental nature of fire versus wood, both ensured that Forest God Lipo was utterly helpless to stop the Fire God’s destruction of the Royal Capital.

What Lipo did was akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

His only chance lay in delaying until Divine King Shan En of the Celestial Kingdom noticed the sea of fire in the Royal Capital, to transform into lightning and crush Ninur in one fell swoop.

Ninur, of course, also realized this, so he didn’t plan to delay any longer, but to swiftly end this battle between gods.

The Fire God raised his hand, his fiery red hair fluttering with the heatwaves, like undulating fierce flames. The tips of his hair gathered in his hand, spinning, wrapping, and condensing, forming into a whip.

With a flick of his hand, Ninur snapped the whip, and the flames burning upon the great trees instantly converged. Centered around the whip, a thunderous firestorm formed. He constantly swung the fire whip in his hand, its power nearly causing the entire Royal City to tremble uncontrollably. Sparks from the whip fell outside the Royal City, igniting the firestorm in an instant.

The whip continued to swing, the fierce flames continued to accumulate, and in a moment, Forest God Lipo shuddered, realizing that he was powerless to resist a single strike from the fire whip.

The Fire God’s Fourth Rank divine power was enough to shatter even the stars of Forest God Lipo.

Ninur caught the fear in Lipo’s eyes, smirked coldly, but shortly after, his expression turned to one of confusion.

If the Forest God was so frightened, why did he insist on staying here?

Initially sprouting great trees in the Royal Capital could be seen as an impulsive act, but now, why hadn’t he fled?

Ninur swirled the fire whip, the doubt in his mind deepening.

However, he had no intention of stopping.

As the fire whip reached its pinnacle, accompanied by a cacophony of explosions, the Fire God slammed the whip in his hand down, like a storm that would cleave the earth, descending along with the whip.

At the moment of contact, those great trees resisting the sea of flames didn’t burn, they were instead instantly reduced to ash by the fire.

The Royal Capital was on the verge of utter annihilation under the terrifying fire whip.

Fire filled the sky, and destruction followed.

Cries of agony and pain filled the land...

Until... a distinct light tore through the heavy sea of fire.

The light was incredibly fast.

So fast that even Fire God Ninur didn’t have time to react.

In that moment as he swung down the fire whip, the light had already reached him.

In that gap, Ninur was utterly defenseless, exposed to attack.

The brilliance, like a vast shield, instantly extinguished the sea of fire, and like a magnificent sword, made heaven and earth change color.

Ninur was pierced head-on by this light.

Half his body, along with the endlessly bright and burning flames, was pulverized in an instant.

The Fire God’s realization came belatedly as his eyes widened...

The brilliance was incomparable, as if it were clearly telling this deity:

Sigh.

The flames that filled the entire sky were torn asunder, and the Royal Capital, on the brink of annihilation, suddenly burst with light.

Solamus stood within the brilliance.

Ninur let out a hoarse cry of pain, his blood continuously dripping down, burning like Mars in midair. In an instant, the sea of fire behind him engulfed him, and he vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the Forest God Lipo finally exhaled in relief.

Ninur had retreated.

Ninur thought he could delay until the Divine King Shan En focused his attention on Lipo, but Lipo had foreseen that before Shan En noticed the anomaly, he had already been severely injured by Ninur’s Fire Whip.

What Lipo relied on was a mysterious Witch whose origins were unknown.

He turned his head toward the light, now lingering with trepidation.

Just a single beam of light had severely wounded the Fourth-Rank Ninur.

Solamus slowly walked out from the light, stepping on the leaves with an expression of nonchalance.

As Lipo watched her approach, he asked,

"Who are you?"

That day, Solamus had lured the Forest God Lipo into the Secret Forest with a spirit deer, who initially thought it was some foolish mortal, only to discover that the Witch before him possessed the power to rival the Divine.

After her astonishing revelation, the Witch proposed an alliance to combat the Fire God Ninur, who would destroy the Royal Capital years later.

And throughout it all, the Forest God Lipo had no idea who this Witch was, or why she possessed such staggering power.

"Lipo, I have no intention of revealing my true name," Solamus said, looking at him.

"All you need to know is,

I come from a Subordinate God."

From a Subordinate God...

Lipo was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask,

"Which God?

Which God are you serving to deserve such devotion?"

Among the numerous deities of the Celestial Kingdom, Lipo could not conceive of any that would have a Witch like this in service.

That was a Witch who had severely wounded the Fire God, after all...

"I serve my master," Solamus said, and with a smile that followed the half-spoken sentence, she disappeared from sight.

Upon hearing this, the Forest God’s pupils contracted sharply.

Cold sweat covered the back of his neck.

That brief statement had dismissed the high and mighty status of all the Gods.

From her words, Lipo perceived that in the eyes of this Witch, even the thousands of gods of the Celestial Kingdom were merely a part of humanity.

What arrogance from a mortal!

Trembling all over, Lipo couldn’t help but repeat,

"Only He is God!"
