Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!

This time, the beast clan could be said to be provoking…

No, they had already outright slapped them in the face.

And yet, the 5-Element God King still showed no response?

This was what puzzled Gabriel the most.

Because under normal circumstances, with actions like these from the beast clan,

At the very least, the 5-Element God King should have responded in some way.

It was impossible to remain as silent as this,

As if throwing his own dignity to the ground and stomping on it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Such behavior was something Gabriel couldn't understand.

Logically, when the beast clan first appeared,

The 5-Element God King should have acted decisively to crush their delusions.

But at the very beginning, when Gabriel reported this matter,

The 5-Element God King simply stated that Ascension City should handle it on its own.

As a result, Gabriel deployed the outer district's strongmen to suppress the beast clan.

And now, the beast clan army was stationed outside Ascension City.

It was clear they intended to attack the entire 5-Element God Realm, and Ascension City was just the beginning.

Surely there couldn't still be no response?

But…

There was still no new information from the 5-Element Temple.

It was as if something had happened over there as well, Your journey continues at empire

Even preventing a simple reply.

This was another point that continued to puzzle Gabriel.

However, at this moment, thinking about it was meaningless.

The beast clan army was already here.

Ascension City had two layers of formations.

The first layer was the one before them now, strong enough to withstand beings below the god king rank.

This was the main reason most people could hold out here.

Otherwise, with so many beast clan forces, people would likely have fled at the first opportunity.

In reality, Ascension City had a second magic array,

A fact known only to those at the city lord level.

This was under Gabriel's control.

However, Gabriel would not activate the second magic array unless absolutely necessary.

Because this magic array…

To be more precise, was a kind of seal.

It would completely isolate all connections between Ascension City and the outside world.

And there was no way to undo it.

One could only wait for the seal to naturally dissipate.

So, unless the situation became utterly dire,

Gabriel would never activate the second layer of the magic array.

At the forefront of the beast clan army were three leaders of the beast clan at the high god rank.

Each of the three had distinct features, clearly representing three different races.

"These humans, they seem to think hiding in a place like this means we can't do anything to them?"

One of the beast clan leaders looked at Ascension City's magic array and remarked.

These magic arrays obstructed the beast clan army's advance.

If they didn't destroy this city, even bypassing it would leave them vulnerable to ambushes.

So, they planned to destroy the city in one fell swoop.

"These humans may lack other skills, but when it comes to building turtle shells, they're second to none."

Another beast clan leader sneered and said,

"In that case, let's show these humans whether their turtle shell can withstand my fist!"

With that, the beast clan leader charged toward Ascension City.

His massive body began to grow even larger.

It was clearly a giant bear!

The giant bear's massive paw swung down at the city's magic array in an instant.

In that moment, everyone on the city walls could feel the overwhelming and terrifying power.

Because with the beast clan, one couldn't judge their combat strength purely by rank.

These beast clan beings possessed immense physical strength.

Take the giant bear race before them, for example.

Once transformed, their terrifying strength could even shake Ascension City's great formation.

Fortunately, the magic array was strong enough to forcibly withstand the attack.

Ripples began to spread across the formation, as if it couldn't hold any longer.

At this moment, some people on the city walls revealed expressions of fear.

Was this beast clan leader truly so powerful?

Then, countless counterattacks from the magic array itself were unleashed on the giant bear.

Even the fur on the bear leader's paw began to emit a scorched aroma.

Seeing this, the crowd finally felt some relief.

At least the magic array had retaliatory capabilities.

It showed the situation wasn't as dire as they feared.

"Attack!"

Gabriel naturally couldn't just stand idly by, watching the enemy attack the formation without responding.

Now that it was confirmed the formation could withstand the beast clan leader's assault,

Gabriel immediately ordered a counterattack.

Countless spells pierced through the defensive magic array, striking the giant bear leader.

The fur on the bear leader's body was now charred black in patches.

Despite his thick skin, he dared not face the onslaught directly.

The giant bear leader quickly retreated, avoiding the attacks.

"These humans' turtle shells are indeed tough. It seems that with my strength alone, I cannot break them."

At the side, a leader with eagle-like features spoke up,

"Then let's bring out the prepared item. The lord said this thing could break the humans' magic array. Let's test it here!"

As the eagle leader finished speaking, some beast clan soldiers took out strange weapons.

They moved to the front lines, aiming their weapons at Ascension City.

Seeing this, the people inside Ascension City began to panic.

They had no idea what kind of attack methods the beast clan was employing.

Now, they could only defend passively.

Especially since…

After their earlier setbacks, the newly arrived beast clan soldiers were equipped with strange weapons. What were those?

Gabriel frowned, a sense of unease weighing on him.

"Where is Mayor Luke?"

Gabriel asked.

At that moment, Luke stepped forward.

"Greetings, City Lord."

"Can you contact that lord?"

Gabriel asked.

Now, their only hope lay with Lord Daniel.

After all, even the 5-Element God King dared not offend Lord Daniel.

If Lord Daniel appeared, Ascension City might yet be saved.

Daniel had come from Ascension City, and strictly speaking, future ascenders from the Crossbridge world would also come from here.

Daniel had no reason to refuse.

But…

"City Lord, I have no way to contact Lord Daniel!"

"Alas… there's no other choice now."

When Daniel left, he hadn't left any means of contact.

So now, there was no way to reach him.

Gabriel could only proceed with his pre-arranged plans to resist.

Since Ascension City had a defensive formation, it naturally also had an offensive magic array.

However…

The offensive magic array was far from ready to be used.

Because the beast clan army was still too far away!

At this distance, an attack could easily be dodged.

Earlier, it was only the giant bear leader who had approached.

Using the magic array for such an attack would undoubtedly be wasteful.

In the short term, the offensive magic array could only be used once.

So, Gabriel had to ensure that this attack inflicted the greatest possible casualties on the beast clan.

They needed to strike fear into the beast clan!

Only then could the current situation in Ascension City be alleviated.

Otherwise…

It would all be in vain!

They saw the special beast clan soldiers holding strange weapons.

The next moment, a cloud of gray mist was fired from the weapons.

Then, the eagle leader flapped his wings.

The gray mist surged toward the formation!

Gabriel didn't know what method the enemy was using, but he knew one thing:

Whatever the enemy wanted to do, it had to be stopped!

"Use wind-element divine spells! Block that thing!"

"Yes!"

However, they were still a step too late.

The gray mist had already reached the defensive formation.

At that moment, a sizzling sound could be heard.

The entire defensive formation began to destabilize.

Then, the wind-element divine spells arrived, blowing the gray mist away.

But the defensive formation was now weaker than before!
