Chapter 157: Chapter 131: Escalation of the Situation! Full Deployment?!

Xiangnai asked with confusion: "What did you say? Brother Lin Ke?"

Seeing that Xiangnai didn’t react, Lin Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and then said, "Sister Xiangnai... oops, I mean, Sister Xiangnai, I’m just asking, I don’t want to buy it!"

Xiangnai nodded, then said again: "I believe you mentioned the Godhead and must know its benefits; Andrew’s Leg... no, Praise the Goddess, it contains the Power of Laws!"

"So many powerhouses stop at level twenty because they failed to comprehend laws related to their attributes..." Xiangnai’s tone was full of temptation: "If you have a Godhead, you can absorb it and break through the bottleneck to reach level twenty."

"Let me think about it." Lin Ke thought that the best way to refuse was to say he’d consider it, which was actually a refusal.

"Don’t think about it, brother. I’ll lend you money first, then you can go to the nearest Divine Hall of Wealth to assess your risk level..." Xiangnai persisted, as if she had set her mind on Lin Ke.

Lin Ke was speechless, wondering what was going on, why this person was mentioning loans to him.

"We won’t borrow!"

A flash of lightning passed, and Ove appeared, his expression full of disdain: "My disciple has his own path to follow."

"Greetings, Lord Ove." Xiangnai bowed upon seeing Ove but did not say much more.

"Lin Ke, remember, never fully absorb a Godhead!" Ove warned, patting Lin Ke on the head.

Lin Ke nodded: "Understood, teacher, I won’t."

He was just casually asking earlier; who knew Xiangnai would take it so seriously, like someone selling houses and insurance.

"Hmm, I trust you." Ove nodded in satisfaction.

Earlier, Ove sensed the divine presence and thought something was awry here, so he came.

Now it seemed Lin Ke hadn’t done anything wrong.

Just then, a loud boom came from the direction of the swamp forest.

"Phoenix, you are now an enemy of all Human Race gods! An enemy of all Human Race legends!"

The voice of the Goddess of Wealth echoed through the sky, accompanied by the overwhelming divine aura of other gods.

Lin Ke and the others immediately felt a powerful pressure, as if the whole sky was collapsing.

The gods were angry!

Unlike legends, whose power belongs to themselves and does not cause much disturbance, gods cause much greater commotion.

This is why some legendary powerhouses keep gods around; they are useful!

And at this moment, everyone at the Great Wall Fortress felt the anger of the gods.

The air was agitated, the elements roared, and the laws trembled.

Gods can influence the laws!

"Cry!!!"

Responding to the Goddess of Wealth was a loud cry, followed by a huge column of flame rising from the swamp.

A shockwave followed.

"Pfft!!" Xiangnai spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale as she fell to the ground, frowning: "The Goddess’s avatar was destroyed! The King of Magical Beasts wiped out the avatars of those gods!"

Xiangnai wiped her mouth but ignored Lin Ke and the others, as well as her own injury.

She shot into the sky and rushed away, leaving behind echoes: "Members of the Divine Hall of Wealth, follow Commander Lin Ke’s orders! The Goddess is angry and war will surely break out!"

The goddess was angry!

The people from the Divine Hall of Wealth who followed Xiangnai exclaimed in surprise; initially, they were giving out loans and spreading money, but now their expressions turned serious.

Because every divine war requires burning a large amount of gold coins!

Gold coins are everything!

And by the looks of it, the Great Priest Xiangnai who came bustling in is going to rush back to the nearest temple for divine orders!

Lin Ke had a somewhat serious expression.

Something’s not right!

He remembered the system’s hint was "Ancient faith falls," "Devout believers start their revenge."

Thinking along these lines, Lin Ke guessed that followers of the King of Gods might be in the Lava Swamp, and once they sensed their faith falling, they started revenge.

Based on speculation, it could very well be those legendary magical beasts seen before.

So many legendary magical beasts being followers of the King of Gods?

It shouldn’t be!

If there were devout followers, would the King of Gods really fall?

Perhaps there’s something hidden behind this?

After all, the King of Magical Beasts didn’t simply destroy the gods’ avatars but talked for a while before destroying them because things didn’t work out.

"Lin Ke, they’re coming!"

Ove turned serious, looking at the distant horizon, giving Lin Ke only a brief tip-off before leaping into the air.

In the distance, groups of magical beasts were gathering.

In just a few hours, these beasts were attacking again?!

Damn it!

Their army had just returned!

And it was almost dusk already; people were getting ready to light fires and cook below!

"Gather! Magical beasts are attacking! Prepare quickly!"

Lin Ke activated voice amplification magic and shouted to the entire camp: "Enable fortress defense!"

The Great Wall Fortress has defenses!

But no one expected the King of Magical Beasts to risk breaking "Common Agreement of Naseng" during the first fight for an attack.

Fortunately, few heard the Legendary Giant Snake speak human language back then.

At this moment, Lin Ke was shocked to see hundreds of magical beasts flying in the sky from the swamp direction, with over ten thousand magic-empowered beasts stirring in the forest.

Only those at level fifteen and above can fly!

Hundreds of creatures above level fifteen had surged forth!

No, not necessarily all, the vast swamp, who knows how many beasts it holds!

But even this portion is tough for the fortress here to deal with!

Lin Ke’s consciousness submerged in the Soul Space, sensing the staff within.

"Use it...?"

He fell into a brief contemplation.

As he pondered, the fortress defense officially started.

Sapphire blue dots rose from every brick, converging into a water membrane.

Count Qingquan’s figure soared into the sky, his clothes turning into streams as his body merged bit by bit with the membrane.

The entire body merged with it!

Profession: [Spring Water Priest]!

Skill—Water’s Guardianship!

Count Qingquan excels at large-scale protection; many defense settings at the fortress were established as per his requirements.

When Count Qingquan is absent, the fortress uses only fifty percent strength; when he’s there, it can use up to 120% strength!

120%!

Count Qingquan at level fifteen could let the original defense withstand legendary strikes while simultaneously blocking twenty star-level attacks!

Count Qingquan isn’t suited for the front lines; defense is where he belongs!

And Count Giant Sword also saw the dense magical beasts in the distance.

Some nobles’ knees nearly gave in, almost kneeling:

"Andrew’s Leg, are we... finished?"

Magical beasts, have they surged forth?!
