Chapter 1577: Chapter 544: The Advent of the Gods

Prince Menia seemed to be unaware of this aura, still speaking unhurriedly: “The second newly appointed Imperial Guardian is Lambert…”

Suddenly, Rein looked up, staring into the sky.

A surge of grand and overwhelming aura appeared there out of thin air, growing stronger by the moment.

A shadow over a hundred meters tall gradually became clear and solid; it was a burly man dressed in black leather armor, with two battle axes strapped to his waist, holding a dark giant bow.

“The Avatar of Luen, God of Hunting!”

“This must be at the Demigod level, right?”

“Rein, Crown, it seems we must fight with everything we have!” Sensing the formidable power spilling from the other side, Sword Saint Lambert, standing nearby, lost all semblance of a smile and spoke solemnly.

“No, just a hint short; strictly speaking, the opponent is still at the Epic Peak.”

Unlike Lambert who has just reached the Sword Saint level, Rein is already at the Dawn Wizard peak. After careful detection, he discovered that the descending avatar was not at the Demigod level.

But the bad news was that the avatar was merely a tiny bit short of the Demigod level.

If comparing the opponent to a Dawn Wizard at the peak, then the Hunting God Luen in front had already reached 98% or 99% in its qualitative progress, becoming the peak of the peak.

“I see, the reason why His Majesty, the Emperor, chose to ascend within these two days lies here.” In his mind, Rein instantly understood what he hadn’t fully grasped before.

“Menia was right; time is not on our side.”

“Once a few more days pass, the avatar level that the Divine can descend might directly be Demigod. By then, even if the empire gathers all its Guardians, the situation will hardly be better than now, and the losses will certainly be far greater.”

In this short time, multiple grand shadows and vast auras descended from various directions in the sky.

A world-ending giant snake, hundreds of meters long, appeared in the western sky, with three enormous anguished human faces at its throat…

“This is the Devouring Snake worshipped by the Secret Snake Sect…”

And Hela, the Goddess of the Nether Sea, familiar to Rein, appeared in the southern sky at this moment.

Moreover, the avatars of several other Divine beings also emerged in the air.

This terrifying scene, akin to the apocalypse, instantly froze the initially joyous atmosphere, and the nobles became silent with fear.

“Another descent of divine avatars?”

“It’s over, hide quickly!”

“Silence, remember, there are so many Imperial Guardians present, why panic!”

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a noble screamed in the stands, while the lady dressed as a noblewoman beside him showed a crazed look, clutching a dagger, plunging it into her husband’s abdomen.

The palace guards immediately rushed forward.

But this situation occurred repeatedly around the stands.

For a moment, it was unclear whether it was a sudden attack initiated by the Cultists or due to the descent of divine avatars triggering a frenzy in the spirits.

At this point, Menia also paused his address, saying faintly: “Ladies and gentlemen, please sit quietly, remember, you are nobles of the Empire, representing its dignity and majesty. Guards, if anyone disobeys orders, kill them on the spot.”

Menia’s words, imbued with spiritual power, unexpectedly stabilized the chaos at the scene with just a few words.

For a moment, among the nobles, it seemed to showcase all aspects of human nature; some sought to hide, some appeared desperate, muttering to themselves, while others maintained the dignity of the Imperial Nobles, calmly unaffected…

And the Imperial Guardians, after a brief glance, focused all their attention on the sky.

There lay their adversaries they must face with full force.

And the majestic figures in the air were also seen by the citizens in the Imperial City Tamriel’s Second Ring and Third Ring.

“Quick, hide in the cellar.”

“Don’t look!” A mother hastily covered a young boy’s eyes, pulling him into the house.

Luckily, she did it timely, as the young boy had just stared at the Hunting God Luen, his fragile spirit was twisted in an instant, his eyes turned black, emitting a beast-like ferocity.

But due to the brief duration, the boy quickly reverted back to normal once inside the house.

…

Inside Rein Mansion.

Originally playing in the front yard, sister Bo He and mother Emma had already been swiftly escorted into the room by the barbarian girl Lagaray.

“Don’t look at the Divine beings in the sky.”

“Never gaze directly at the Divine!”

Cleya stopped the guards intending to check outside, speaking solemnly.

While the women were shocked, they didn’t panic, partly because Rein had given them ’preventive shots’, and partly because of Rein’s advance arrangements. At this moment, the pre-set witch array mitigated the pressure and impact from the distant Divine beings.

…

Above the Imperial City.

Contrary to the civilians’ reactions was the defense force above the empire.

Whether it was the squads of Griffin Knights or the heavily armed airships with dark cannons visible on the side ports, they were all converging toward the Imperial Palace.

“Roar!!!”

Around the palace.

One after another, giant dragons soared into the sky, some familiar to Rein, others not.

There were those like Reginald and his giant dragon companion Ted.

And Elder Ivan with his red dragon.

Even Pantoscoke, with the title ’Storm Cloud’, did not evade the battle, riding his green dragon Hazas and heading forth…

Above the palace, a massive five-colored energy shield formed, Rein sensed that the strength of this energy shield’s protection was astonishingly stronger than the ’Crystal Barrier’ of Ferdinand Elf Main City.
