Ashen Dragon

If it were a one-on-one battle with that Red Dragon, Gush would have full confidence to swiftly kill the opponent and return to his besieged Divine Realm, even at the cost of using his Divine Power Origin.

But with the addition of another divine being of intermediate divine level, the scales of victory would tilt in favor of the Red Dragon.

Whether it's Cassius or Du Masong, Gush is confident he can kill either of them, but if they join forces, they can precisely counterbalance Gush's incarnation.

The opportunities left for this Beastman God are running out.

"Crack——"

Gush's spear was thrown, fiercely striking Du Masong's Ore Giant Shield, causing countless fragments of ore to splatter, but it couldn't pierce through for the moment.

Meanwhile, Cassius seized the opportunity, suddenly charging from the side, unleashing a terrifying torrent of flame from his mouth, which instantly engulfed the spear made from divine power.

Gush could only manipulate his weapon with divine power, gritting his teeth as he withdrew the blood-stained spear and took a half-step back, facing off against the giant dragon and Stone Dwarf from afar.

His face twisted, filled with anger and venom, as flames of fury surged from his sole eye. His voice thundered like raging storms, echoing across the wreck-strewn battlefield: "Dwarves, I never expected that those who call themselves righteous would ally with a brutal and greedy Red Dragon.

Just a few months ago, this Red Dragon killed your people and occupied your cities, and now you fight alongside him. It truly shames the title of 'Shield Dwarf Guardian God!'

Gush's aim was clear——to sow discord, attempting to fracture the alliance between the Red Dragon and the Dwarves.

Du Masong still did not speak. He simply stood, his rock-forged face changing as if pondering something.

Finally, he stepped forward, brutally slamming that heavy giant shield into the ground, causing the earth to sink and collapse.

"Boom!"

Countless sands and ores adhered to the surface, making that shield more burdensome and also causing a layer of indestructible armor to form on the Rock Dwarf's body.

Earth-colored divine light spread, forming a hemispherical domain of divine power, struggling to resist Gush's blood-colored domain of divine power, maintaining a small "private plot."

Cassius watched the orc from afar, smiled teasingly, and taunted lightly: "If the Dwarves still held Aivendel, then indeed there would be irreconcilable differences between us.

But now, Aivendel has been renamed Flying Dragon City, and the misunderstandings between the Ashen Empire and the Dwarves have been completely resolved; we have no need to fight further.

Instead, we have a common enemy - you, Old Greenskin. Your threat to the Dwarves far exceeds mine, and even if they must put forth all effort to aid me, a former adversary, they must thwart your expansion in the Material Plane.

Isn't that right, my temporary ally—His Highness Du Masong?" Cassius smiled at Du Masong, his adversary from months ago, and bluntly laid out the stakes.

In fact, months ago, Cassius felt a familiar presence and made a conjecture: Du Masong had not completely left the Prime Material Plane but had buried the origin of divine power in the earth.

This Shield Dwarf Guardian God stayed to fulfill his unfinished task – stopping the southward expansion of Orcs.

This is also why Cassius had the confidence to not withdraw to the Imperial homeland; he knew that faced with the descent of a Beastman God on the land, the Dwarf deities wouldn't stand idly by.

Du Masong made no response, only silently looking at the Beastman God, his expression resolute, clearly having made up his mind.

He knew that, for the Dwarves, the best scenario was a mutual defeat between him and the orcs, best if the Red Dragon fell and Gush was severely weakened. However, the Dwarf gods could also see—Cassius didn't yet have the power to drag the orcs into mutual destruction.

Thus, they could only aid the weaker side, trying to maintain balance and prevent uncontrolled frenzied expansions of the orcs, which would greatly boost Gush, who presides over domains of war and strength.

Du Masong certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to take the Red Dragon who had slaughtered Shield Dwarves as an ally.

But given the current situation, he could only grit his teeth and form a temporary "military alliance" with this Red Dragon to jointly resist Gush and counter the orcs' frenzied expansion.

Gush was somewhat exasperated, raising his spear, roaring: "Du Masong, you are a hopeless coward! Someday, your people will be slaughtered to extinction by that Red Dragon!"

Cassius was relentless in his ridicule, saying: "Pointless speculation—if given the chance, the entire Dwarf clan would be annihilated, which His Highness Du Masong clearly understands.

Old Greenskin, don't waste your breath, the orcs' expansion on the Fianso Continent—ends here!"

The Red Dragon lifted its head high, letting out a world-shaking roar, unleashing a sea of flames that stained half the sky red.

Gush's face darkened, his hands gripping the spear and battle axe trembled slightly: "Fine, very well... Is this your confidence?

But you do not know, there are differences between divinities, I will show you——what truly immense divine power is!"

The divine domain of the Beastman God expanded once more, while the blood-colored divine light almost enveloped the sky and earth, growing increasingly frenzied and rampant.

Whether it was Cassius's Ancestral Dragon's Might or Du Masong's divine domain, they could barely support under the pressure released by Gush, becoming even fragmented, like a small boat swaying amid a raging storm.
