Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 337 True God
Perhaps in a sense, it was a perfect creature.

The smooth lines are filled with a shocking sense of power, and the body is crystal clear as if it was made of stars. Every scale reflects the dazzling glow, and every breath vibrates with the natural magic within a radius of one kilometer.

He maintains a humanoid star beast form similar to the Fallen Angels, but is more majestic and elegant than them. Even though there are racial barriers between them, every living being who faces Him will feel the wisdom and majesty that surpasses all other living beings.

A true god - different from the many local gods that emerged with the rise of all races in the Age of Resurgence, and also different from the false god Cygnus who only had power. This is an alien god who can be ranked alongside such legendary names as the Three Moon God, the Scarlet Corruption, and the Mother of Truth.

Even though His power is no longer what it used to be, His might is still so strong that it is suffocating.

“Kneel down—” He tilted his head slightly and gave a hoarse command, “or die.”

In response, there was a beam of blue sword light that shot up into the sky and a dragon roar that shook the Tomb of the Gods.

The power that Latan burst out instantly shattered the cliff beneath his feet. Two huge black swords rose up diagonally, one on the left and one on the right, like two wings of death, slashing straight towards Esti's chest with unparalleled force!
At the same moment, as if time and space were reversed, a silver-white dragon shadow suddenly appeared above his head, and a powerful claw struck straight down!

A surging shock wave exploded, shattering all the rocks within a radius of one kilometer into powder!

In the dust, Esti blocked Latan's double swords with one hand, and easily caught Lucia's claw attack with the other hand.

The tremendous force of the two demigods, enough to split mountains and rocks, seemed to be injected into the bottomless ocean. Esti's body remained motionless. Then, she suddenly exerted force, clenched her right fist and hit Latan in the chest, knocking him away. She suddenly clamped Lucia's wrist with her left hand, and punched out with a sonic boom, hitting Lucia heavily in the face!
boom--

Red-gold dragon blood splashed up. Esti tilted her head and looked at her fist, as if wondering why she didn't smash the head of the ancient dragon in front of her with one blow.

He shook his head and threw another punch, but his vision was instantly filled with blazing flames.

Lucia drew out the Sword of Night and Fire and activated the Fire Stance to block the attack. At the same time, she swung her upper body violently, and the sharp and hard dragon horn hit Esti's face!

Esti felt like she was hit by a meteor head-on. Her head felt dizzy under the bone armor, but her blurry vision caught a glimpse of Latan rushing towards her again. She spun her body and chopped him down, sending him heavily to the bottom of the abyss!

"Damn, my grandson is tougher than my grandfather!"

Lucia took advantage of the situation to break free from Esti's grip, choking on a mouthful of blood and cursing.

"He's the grandson. Is the grandfather Cygnus or you?"

Latan looked solemnly at the darkness in the abyss, but his tone was still extremely relaxed.

"It's pretty much the same."

There was less than a moment to catch her breath, and an angry roar erupted from the abyss. Esti's violent figure shot out, and from under her bleeding forehead, the wise and majestic look in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a brutality that wanted to destroy everything!

"Death to those who usurp power and rebel against it!"

He roared and flew into the air. Three figures twisted into blurred light and shadow and collided with each other. Claws, swords, horns, divine arts, magic, and combat skills, everything in sight turned into their weapons and turned into the most extreme violence that they poured out on each other!
The surging and violent divine power and magic power shattered the natural force field around them, condensing into a terrifying energy vortex, tearing out countless dark space cracks. Each crack was enough to tear apart a battle-hardened hero. Only two demigods at the top of their generation and a true god could barely control such a battlefield!

Wherever the battle took place, both the natural rock formations around the Tomb of the Gods and the artificially built ceiling stones collapsed into pieces. The bodies of the three men that flew backwards from time to time were enough to smash large areas of the terrain, not to mention the seemingly endless prayers and magic.

Gradually, more and more sand and gravel fell from inside the Tomb of the Gods, and the entire earth began to groan and shake.

Lucia relied on the defense of the Undying Scales and the recovery speed of the Queen's Embrace to take Esti's gravity beam, and chopped her up into the air with the Hunting God's Greatsword. Latan seized the opportunity, and the great Kalia rushed forward with the power to cut through the sky!

The shining blue sword light cut through the sky, and in the floating divine blood, the Tomb of the Gods that had stood on the land of Gaileed for thousands of years was split into two and completely collapsed into a pile of ruins!
Tens of thousands of meters away, across the magic barrier that Luther and Cassius had done their best to create, everyone was watching this true battle between gods in shock.

Except for a few demigods and the best heroes such as Finlay, Moret, and Olanvinia, even Anasia and Blaze could hardly distinguish the figures that disappeared at high speed.

But they could all see that even when facing the strongest two players present, Lucia and Latan, the reborn Esti was able to handle it with ease, and even gradually showed a clear advantage as time went by.

"It's the effect of the law of life—" Michaela frowned and said, "Esti plundered the power of the law that belongs to her mother from Cygnus, but in Her hands, this power is more than ten times stronger than Cygnus!"

"The control of the laws by a true god is incomparable to that of a false god who usurped the throne," Lani's beautiful eyes were fixed on the battle in the distant sky, and her cold voice was mixed with some unconcealed worries. "Compared to Him, Cygnus is like a child who only knows how to use magic and divine power as stones to hit people, but Esti. He was born as a machine with the sole mission of destruction."

Michaela sighed softly, "Not only that. I can feel that the vitality that Cygnus has devoured over the years has become the nourishment that helps Him recover. Combined with the terrifying vitality that the star body already possesses, the law of life has been exerted to the maximum extent. It's like throwing a fire into a pool of oil. If it's delayed any further, He will only become stronger and stronger."

"Then what should we do? Just stand here and watch?" Marenia turned around anxiously. "Even if we are not their opponent, we can always create more offensive opportunities for them, right?"

"No!" Michaela and Lani said in unison this time with absolute certainty.

"Except for them, our divine power and magic power are not strong enough to effectively kill Esti at the moment. Most importantly, facing Esti's attack, none of us can survive - if we go up to fight now, we will only become a burden to them."

Marennia's eyes were red, she squatted on the ground angrily with her teeth gritted, her slightly trembling body like an angry little hedgehog, but she was helpless.

Lacard glanced at the three armies that were retreating after clearing out the remaining star beasts in the distance, and turned to ask his personal guards: "Has the messenger for help set out?"

"Your Highness, the latest batch just set off five minutes ago. The fastest of the six batches ahead should have already reached the Gallid portal."

"No matter which side receives the message first, it will take at least a day including the round trip time—" Lacard frowned, "It's not a good idea to drag it on like this."

Just as they were in a dilemma, they suddenly noticed that Esti stopped in the air, opened her arms, and uttered a series of unclear whispers towards the sky.

In the clear white sky at dawn, countless stars once again lit up, approaching rapidly from the sky.
