"He really has that kind of ability..."

The God of Light frowned with displeasure, but in an instant, he descended to a position slightly above the monster.

After all, he didn’t care much about human lives, but if too many of them died, he would no longer be able to collect the power of faith.

Even if it was just for his own benefit, he needed to act and destroy these monsters.

"It’s the Lord God of Light!"

The brightly shining body of the God of Light appeared just below the clouds, and the humans on the ground began to cheer enthusiastically.

Indeed, only the God of Light could bring them hope in times like these.

Sensing the admiration of the native humans on the ground, the God of Light kept a serious expression, but in his heart, he sneered.

These natives are truly ignorant...

However, that was convenient.

Such reverent treatment was something he hadn’t experienced before.

Let the power of faith come even more strongly!

"Do not fear, faithful followers of the God of Light! As long as your faith remains devout, the light will protect you!"

The God of Light assumed a solemn posture, making his voice echo across the ground, and immediately, some humans knelt, praying with devotion.

Feeling the power of faith accumulating over him, the God of Light nodded in satisfaction.

To continue receiving this faith, he needed to act...

First, he had to eliminate the monsters below.

"Hmm?"

Observing the scene below, the God of Light was slightly surprised.

These strange creatures were something he had never seen before.

Although it seemed their weak points were being destroyed, the rest of their bodies continued to move and autonomously approached their companions.

They merged with one another, forming new entities.

Moreover, they could devour other creatures to grow, apparently without limits.

Now, two monsters had fused, forming a new monster over a hundred meters tall, becoming even more colossal.

"But, no matter how much they may grow, as long as I destroy them completely, everything will be fine."

The God of Light extended his right hand toward the giant monster, and a film of white light began to envelop the monster's body.

The film of light gradually contracted, and the monster, feeling the pressure, let out a furious scream.

It writhed desperately, trying to break through the film of light.

But no matter how much it struggled, the film continued to contract firmly, undeterred.

As the film contracted, the monster's body also shrank...

This was the God of Light’s plan: to completely annihilate the monster in an economical way and demonstrate his power to the native humans.

However, when the film was almost fully shrinking, the God of Light sensed something wrong.

As the film of light made contact with the monster, black spots began to spread over the film.

This wasn’t an illusion, and the God of Light knew he wasn’t mistaken.

Because, in the next instant, the monster broke through the film...

No.

In fact, the film of light became part of the monster.

The monster, free from its restraints, let out a scream, shrank, and then launched itself at the God of Light.

"Hmph!"

The monster’s abilities were indeed somewhat surprising, but this kind of attack was useless to him.

With a wave, a column of light descended from the sky, splitting the monster in half.

But before the monster fell, it extended several tentacles into the air, reuniting its divided parts and returning to its original form.

With a punch, it attacked the God of Light.

This punch also missed its mark, as the God of Light instantly appeared behind the monster and realized that it was not as easy to destroy as he had imagined.

And furthermore...

"Rooaaar!"

Around him, more and more monsters gathered, gradually surrounding him.

"You monsters are truly stubborn!"

Rays of light shot from the body of the God of Light, transforming into columns of light that spread in all directions.

The blinding light illuminated the sky in an instant.

When the light faded, all the monsters were shattered, falling to the ground as sludge.

"So, it’s that hard to eliminate them..."

This result was not what the God of Light had expected.

He had planned to instantly reduce the monsters’ total volume with that attack.

Thus, even if they regrouped, he would only need to repeat the process.

But from what it seemed now, the monsters' total volume had decreased a little, but not enough.

If it continued like this, though they posed no threat, he would lose a lot of time.

What a nuisance...

"Clap, clap, clap..."

A sound of applause suddenly echoed, followed by a young woman's sarcastic voice.

"Well done, boy..."

The sludge on the ground moved aside, revealing an empty area.

With the glow of a magic circle, eleven figures emerged.

They were the nine current leaders of the races, led by Shirley, along with Luna and Alice.

And the person who spoke was, naturally, Shirley.

"Oh? You really didn’t stay hidden, but came out on your own and brought so many people..."

The God of Light looked at the group with indifference.

"Are you here to apologize to me and offer the others for my pleasure?"

After this phrase, silence took over the place.

...

"Hey, Shirley, do you think this guy has something wrong with his head?" Tiffany frowned, looking confused.

"Is this guy really a god? Even if we kill him, it doesn’t seem like we’ll get much satisfaction..." Rosamund shook her head, lamenting.

"Exactly, he can’t even see the situation. How can he be a worthy opponent for Queen Zola?"

After becoming the leader of the fairies, Zola proudly proclaimed herself queen.

Though no one else acknowledged her as such...

"Shirley, stop stalling with him, it’s time for me to get revenge for the ambush he set!"

Karina cracked her fingers, her nails sharp and extended.

"You’re right... such insignificant creatures aren’t worth our time."

Today, Shirley wore a black dress and took a step forward.

The sludge on the ground began to writhe frantically, like boiling water.

"Don’t worry, in my domain, divine power will be extremely weakened. Fight with everything you have!"
