I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Gaia Main World,

Danerluo Port, outside the Phillips Crystal area,

The magic array Lis placed here has been fully activated, protecting the eager players within.

The azure Kane Floating City is suspended directly above, its shadow like the cloak of a giant god, covering the cracked land below.

Each thunderous roar of the elemental giant cannon tears through the clouds, pouring blue-purple energy beams down, creating bottomless pits in the ground, as if a deity is etching runes of fury on Earth with thunder and fire.

In the midst of the energy-ravaged battlefield, several figures emitting different glows are engaged in a fierce battle.

Joyce's face is extremely somber, although he isn't wounded, his mood is quite heavy.

Risa and Rosde are not far from him, similarly embroiled in intense combat.

After receiving Lis's plea for help, he immediately set out for the Mist Wilderness small world.

Only to be stopped by several concealed legendary figures before him.

A full five legends!

Moreover, they show no intent to engage directly, merely barring them from reaching Phillips Crystal.

Judging by their combat style, it's evident they belong to the Evil God believers' faction.

Seeing this, Joyce clearly realizes their goal is to prevent them from aiding Lis.

Dammit!

Thinking of this, Joyce's mood becomes incredibly heavy.

Little Lis, nothing must happen to you!

However, regardless of how hard Joyce and Risa tried, they couldn't break through the blockade.

Their opponents' strength is notably formidable, and more importantly, they avoid direct confrontation, merely hindering them suffices.

Even with support from Kane Floating City, defeating them in a short time is impossible.

A near ten legendary battle during this time is truly cataclysmic.

The players, amidst the creaking protective arrays, watch all this unfold excitedly.

When had they ever witnessed such an exaggerated battle?

The entire wilderness is almost completely destroyed by these legends!

...

Joyce furrowed his brow, pondering how to quickly break free to support Lis.

At this moment, the figure Joyce faced stagnated.

Immediately, a pitch-black deep shadow enveloped all five legendary opponents.

In an instant, disappearing from the battleground.

Seeing them leave, Joyce felt no joy.

"Lord Joyce, how is Lis now?"

Risa hurriedly came to Joyce's side, she too had guessed what was happening.

Since the opponent chose to leave voluntarily, it implies they no longer care about Joyce and the others.

Is it all over?

Joyce and Risa both felt heavy-hearted, along with a sense of powerlessness.

At that moment, Joyce suddenly received a communication.

After checking, Joyce's expression improved considerably.

"Good lad!"

Joyce breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Risa:

"Lis is fine."

"He even managed to kill a legend, the Divine Envoy of the Abuse Goddess, Torture Executor Juliana."

"Yet he was also injured, searching for a place to recover, and can't return shortly."

Upon hearing this, Risa too sighed heavily, her previously pale face regaining some color.

Risa thought for a moment, asking Joyce:

"Lord Joyce, can I go find Lis now?"

"He's injured now, will he be in danger?"

"Not possible for the short term."

Joyce shook his head and said to Risa:

"He is currently in a safe place, us going to him might actually expose him."

"Trust Little Lis, he is now stronger than me!"

Joyce felt a bit sentimental. Upon hearing Lis killed the Torture Executor, he suddenly realized Lis had unknowingly surpassed him.

Prior, he had no assurance of killing this Divine Envoy.

Moreover, it was amidst the siege by Divine Son Luun and the All Beast Church Shepherd Leader Holmes!

Lis's continuous growth brings Joyce great comfort.

Risa, upon hearing, solemnly nodded.

After breathing a sigh of relief, she indeed felt uncomfortable.

In the recent battle, she didn't contribute much.

Having recently achieved legendary status, she hasn't fully harnessed her current strength.

Instead of enhancing her strength, she prefers immersing herself in magic research.

Yet now, when Lis faces extremely perilous siege, she suddenly realizes her own powerlessness.

Previously, it was always Lis shielding her from storms.

Whether in cultivating at Kane Floating City, or breaking through to legend, she herself never faced dangers.

But when Lis faces danger, she couldn't help at all.

This makes Risa very upset, even feeling like crying.

Unknowingly, Lis has become the most important part of her previously dull and barren soul.

She dare not imagine what a world without Lis would be like for her?

Moments later, Risa raised her head to look at the Floating City above.

In addition to the delight of Lis's escape, her gaze showed more determination.

She cannot continue like this!

She wishes to catch up to Lis!

She desires to stand alongside Lis!

...

Tudos Continent,

Morris, gazing at the rapidly retreating figure before him, shook his head and began healing his companions.

She didn't expect, just having left Danerluo Port returning to Dawn Holy City, Lis would encounter such a substantial attack from Evil God believers.
