The summoning included all first-level gods, second-level gods, third-level gods, priests, and Celestial Hunters!
There were a total of thirty-two first-level gods, including Poseidon, the God of the Sea, who were also known as the Thirty-Two Main Gods. However, after Tang San became the God King, the number decreased to eighteen.
The number of second-level gods was relatively higher than that of the first-level gods, with about two hundred or so. Among them were gods like the God of War, the God of Speed, the Phoenix God, the Nine-Colored Goddess, and the God of Food, who were all second-level gods.
As for the third-level gods, there were over a thousand of them.
Priests and Celestial Hunters were the most numerous, with as many as tens of thousands.
Priests and Celestial Hunters were gods who had surpassed level 100 but did not possess a divine position, making them relatively weaker in strength.
The Divine Realm could not be left unguarded, so the two "Supreme Gods" of Kindness and Life led a portion of the gods to protect the Divine Realm.
The summoning of all the gods did not mean that everyone would descend to the mortal realm for battle. They were currently only dealing with Focalors and taking care of the Silver Dragon King incidentally.
The Silver Dragon King, although her injuries had healed, was now merely at the peak of the first-level gods' strength, and thus was not considered a threat by the gods.
Led by the Evil God King, a group of "elite" gods was dispatched, opening a passage to the Douluo Continent.
"Remember the purpose of this mission!"
"Kill Focalors, kill the Silver Dragon King, and destroy the Guardian Mechas!"
"Yes, these are the tasks!"
The last time such a large-scale event occurred was during the Dragon God War.
If not for that war, the Divine Realm wouldn't have been reduced to so few gods.
On the Douluo Continent, in Sotou City.
Focalors frowned, sensing something peculiar about the sky today.
A wave of slightly powerful auras was invading the Douluo Continent!
"These should be the gods of the Divine Realm, right?"
"Why are they descending in this manner? What is their purpose?"
Fortunately, there were no gods around, or they might have subconsciously said: What purpose?
To kill you, of course!
The Evil god was fully prepared to face a God King-level opponent.
If Neuvillette had not left the Douluo Continent, it might have required all five God Kings to descend.
Of course, if any unexpected events occurred, the gods of Life and Kindness would be the first to lead reinforcements.
The priests and Celestial Hunters quickly found the Guardian Mechas and planned to dismantle them.
Ordinary Guardian Mechas were no match for these priests and Celestial Hunters. They didn't even need to make a second move before the mechas were destroyed.
The humans were dumbfounded. What was going on with these "humans"?
Why were they attacking the Guardian Mechas?
Wait, why are they so powerful?
Some of the priests had spirit rings, and there were a full ten of them.
Other priests and Celestial Hunters, however, did not have any spirit rings.
Seeing these spirit rings left the humans even more bewildered.
Ten spirit rings—are they gods?
So many gods?
Wait, back to the first question, why are they dismantling the Guardian Mechas?
These are humanity's "final trump card" against spirit beasts!
No matter how much the humans protested, the priests and Celestial Hunters ignored them, focusing solely on completing their mission.
That was until they encountered the largest Guardian Mechas at the center of the battlefield!
With a loud "boom," a priest was sent flying, his eyes wide with disbelief.
He then spat out a mouthful of pale gold blood, his aura plummeting.
With just one punch, a force of over thirty tons exploded, nearly killing the priest!
After punching the priest, the "Golden Armored Giant" placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, appearing quite gentlemanly.
"Intruders, you have three seconds to escape!"
The priests and Celestial Hunters were stunned, glancing at the "Golden Armored Giant" in surprise, sweat trickling down their foreheads.
This Guardian Mecha was different from the ones before!
With a single punch nearly killing a priest, the strength of this being was likely already at the level of a third-tier god. The gods looked around at each other; with so many of them present, they should not fear a single "third-tier god," right?
"Take him down!"
Someone shouted, and the gods surged forward together.
The "Golden Armored Giant" responded by emanating a golden aura.
"Annihilation, commence!"
In the next moment, he disappeared from the gods' sight.
Even though the priests and Celestial Hunters lacked divine positions, they were still gods and possessed some level of power.
With a loud "bang," a priest was turned into a cloud of blood by the immense force, instantly obliterated!
This scene left the gods dumbfounded and bewildered.
What kind of terrifying being is this?
A single punch, and a priest is killed instantly?
"His power is still increasing. That last punch had at least a million jin of force, and possibly even more!"
(1 Jin = 0.5 Kg or 1.1 Pound)
A punch with such enormous power would make even the gods wary!
And they were gods...
Even the weakest god was still a god.
"How do we counter this?"
The speed and strength were on an entirely different level from theirs.
Don't think that the difference between gods is negligible.
This difference might be even greater than the gap between a Soul Master and a Peerless Douluo!
A second-tier god dealing with them would be like child's play.
"Be careful!"
Retreat was not an option. The God King's orders were absolute. Even if it meant death, they had to complete the mission; otherwise, the consequences could be even worse than death.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Bang…"
Both humans and spirit beasts were stunned. This giant must have been holding back in previous fights!
So, it gets stronger in the face of greater opposition?
That previous punch only heavily wounded the Bear King.
But this punch could obliterate a god!
If it hadn't been holding back, the spirit beasts would have been wiped out long ago!
"Shhh..."
Everyone gasped. Initially, they had just started questioning the Guardian Mechas, without much thought.
But seeing the true power of the Guardian Mechas only strengthened their resolve.
Training??
Ha...
Toiling to become a god only to become one of those fighting the Guardian Mechas?
Setting aside whether they had the talent, even if they did become a god, being obliterated by a punch from a Guardian Mechas?
Ha...
Training was still necessary, but the people had less enthusiasm for it now.
In just one minute, the Guardian Mecha had destroyed five gods...
The spirit beast race was in a daze, their eyes vacant, losing their light.
This is a monster; this is a monster!
They say spirit beasts are monsters, but compared to this iron lump, they seem extremely weak!
They were clearly harmless pets!
Simultaneously, similar scenes were unfolding across all battlefields.
In the Extreme North, when the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Ah Tai, Xiao Bai, and other beasts encountered the giant Guardian Mechas—one punch for a Ten-Ring, one kick for a god—
They shuddered and trembled all over.
At that moment, they felt that the Snow Empress's decision was incredibly correct.
So terrifying!
