The goblin, aged terribly due to the backlash of magic, struggled to lift its head. Its eyes widened, somewhat in disbelief, as it stared at the Energy Giant towering several meters tall.
The figure of the opponent slowly overlapped with the visage of Winter and the Hunting God in its memories...
"Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Its lips were numb, both fearful and awestruck, it found itself unable to utter another word.
The Energy Giant glanced at it, its expression devoid of joy or sorrow, emotionless, yet the following cold snort conveyed its inner dissatisfaction, making the goblin shiver involuntarily.
At the same time, accompanied by splendid silvery light and ethereal hymns, a divine and immense pressure instantly emanated from the giant...
That was the natural oppression from a higher being's life source upon a lower being.
The True God's Divine Soul pressure!
The goblin priest felt an irresistible force assaulting its heart, striking directly at its soul, causing excruciating pain, nearly fainting in an instant...
It fell to the ground, unable to move at all, but its heart roared wildly, tinged with a trace of joy and relief:
It's a True God!
This is the power of a True God!
After glancing at the goblin, the Energy Giant quickly shifted its attention to the intruders pouring into the temple.
"Elves?"
Its voice, deep, hoarse, robust, and solemn, carried a hint of puzzlement.
And when It beheld the appearance of the players, even Its vague visage seemed to register some surprise.
Somehow, under the Divine Soul pressure of the giant, the players did not shiver like the goblin.
Instead, though they were vomiting blood, their eyes shone brightly, seemingly unaffected in spirit.
They looked at It with curiosity and extreme wariness, devoid of fear or respect, driven only by novelty and excitement.
More so, they even began an incessant stream of exclamations:
"It's a BOSS! Definitely a BOSS!"
"This can't be Uller, right? Looks like that statue!"
"So ugly... nowhere near as pretty as the Goddess."
"But those effects are impressive... really scared me just now."
"He seems so strong, can't see through him..."
"Are we going to be wiped out..."
"Should we just run... I've only got one perfect revival left..."
Energy Giant: ...
Though it barely understood the babblings of these ants, it sensed the disrespect in their words.
The dignity of the Divine is inviolable!
With a furious roar, the Energy Giant's vast energy palm instantly struck down towards the players, promptly turning several unlucky souls into mosaics.
"Damn!"
"Damn!"
"..."
The remaining players were almost petrified.
They ignored their coughing up blood, stood up, and began desperately scattering and dodging, all the while cursing the game developers for their absurd game balance.
Just one slap nearly brought down the temple, the power disparity was too vast!
And watching the elven bodies it had slapped to death, sensing not a trace of soul within them, the Energy Giant appeared even more astonished.
"Not elves..."
Its heavy voice boomed.
And the moment the Energy Giant appeared, Eve, tens of kilometers away, sensed it too.
She shifted her attention towards the direction of Feilengcui, her mind carrying a trace of solemnity:
"Strange Divine Power?"
And soon, her heart slightly sank.
For she noticed that in the Divine Space, several photons belonging to the players extinguished simultaneously.
Not only that, more continued to extinguish.
"Instant kill..."
She pondered for a moment, divided a sliver of consciousness, and carefully sent it towards those still flickering photons.
The viewpoint shifted, and Eve quickly gained the perspective of the players in the temple.
At this moment, the Energy Giant seemed to be in a frenzy, attacking the players like swatting flies, with unlucky individuals occasionally getting hit.
Inside the temple, chaos reigned supreme.
Seeing no hope of victory, many players had already fled, but many still chose to stay, hiding everywhere, seemingly still willing to try.
"Uller?!"
Having received the legacy of the World Tree, Eve also recognized the identity of the Energy Giant.
This startled her.
It was ridiculous, just grinding goblins, how did they end up drawing this creature here?
And it even manifested as Divine Power!
Where did it get so much Divine Power to cross realms? Just for some goblins?!
Eve felt this Divine being was utterly mad, not following any rules, completely disrupting Her plans in an instant.
After that, his next thought was to slip away...
No joke, if the other party found out about his existence, it would be all over since he was already on the brink of death!
A Divine Power avatar whose strength must start from the legend!
However, just as the thought of escape arose, it was quickly suppressed by Eve.
"Hmm...? No, that's not right..."
"His avatar doesn't seem that strong... and it seems like he hasn't discovered me either!"
A player who gets killed would be teleported to the World Tree for resurrection.
Although Eve had reduced her natural aura as much as possible during the teleportation, if a True God's avatar descended with the will of a Divine added on, it would be impossible not to sense the trickery in it.
Thinking of this, Eve boldly observed the Energy Giant once again.
This look made her realize the problem.
"Could it be a temporary avatar constructed using Natural Divine Power?"
Looking at the pale green photons on the Energy Giant, Eve suddenly understood.
Then, she was amazed:
"How much Natural Divine Power has been amassed for this!"
She quickly grasped the opponent's condition.
Uller had indeed descended, but he only brought a sliver of consciousness.
And the Divine Power avatar he formed was forcibly created using Natural Divine Power.
In this state, the avatar's energy was chaotic, and even with a hint of Divine will, it couldn't detect Eve's presence.
After all... his avatar was already filled with the World Tree's Natural Divine Power!
Not only that, but it was also difficult for him to control this avatar with its messy internal energy!
Thinking of this, Eve once again checked the state of the Energy Giant.
This time, she noticed even more:
"Divine Blood Crystals! This guy is using the World Tree's Divine Blood Crystals to forcibly consolidate the avatar, and it's quite unstable! He also has to suppress the backlash of the Natural Divine Power, he can't utilize the avatar's full strength!"
"No wonder he had to forcefully descend, it must be to retrieve the crystals. This Natural Divine Power must be over thirty points, I would be tempted too... Tsk tsk, slurp... Over thirty points!"
Eve felt a bit envious.
"However, this kind of state isn't stable; as long as there is continuous external disturbance disrupting the energy balance, the avatar will quickly collapse on its own! The Divine Blood Crystal will also be extracted..."
Having figured all this out, Eve felt relieved.
She watched the players hiding around and already had a plan.
Yes, Uller's energy avatar was strong.
Even if it was a forcibly aggregated avatar, the strength it possessed was not something the players could contend with; each hit was already close to legendary.
But if it was just about disturbing the avatar's energy balance...
As long as they have enough sacrifices, it's not impossible!
After all, the Uller avatar trying to suppress the backlash of Natural Divine Power was too slow and clumsy!
Its movements were even inferior to nimble elves!
For players, this was merely a target.
Thinking of this, Eve took a deep breath:
"Alright, I'll make a big sacrifice this time."
Having said that, Eve began to operate Divine Power.
However, just as she started, she stopped again, thought for a moment, took out Hela's Soul Storage Orb, extracted 0.1 point of Divine Power, and painfully stuffed it into the game system's coding function...
Then, she nodded in satisfaction in her mind, stirred up Divine Power again, and passed countless information to the players of Feilengcui...
Meanwhile, players in the temple received new system information—

That was Uller's avatar's stability...
Or rather—health bar!
