CHAPTER 575: CHAPTER 572: TRIANGLE

```

Clang——

The sword of Saint Catherine, ablaze with the power of the Sun, appeared before him.

The artificial deity reached out in an attempt to block it.

The instant the sound of metal clashing echoed, raging flames instantly ignited upon its body.

Within the "Negative Infinity Domain," the manifestation of the Sun’s power was radically different from the outside world. Beyond physical combustion, the Sun’s power now even ignited the magic power that spilled out during the clash.

A single exchange, and the sparks that spat out could ignite the stone floor of the six-member council. The mountaintop council, which had just been covered in mere fragments of stone, was suddenly transformed into a sea of fire in this instant.

However, as the initiator of this attack,

Ronald’s complexion remained very serious.

The enemy was within arm’s reach, and he clearly grasped the situation of the artificial deity before him.

The sword of Saint Catherine hacked into the arm of the opponent.

He felt an immovable, rock-solid formidable force.

The magic long robe worn by the enemy did indeed turn to ash in an instant under his attack, but the physical strength of the Fake God was much higher than that of the robe, and even the power of the Sun could not breach its defenses.

And this strike, became the key factor in the breakdown of their negotiations.

Deflecting Ronald’s oncoming sword, not a trace of calm remained in the artificial deity’s crimson pupils, brutality and murderous intent instantly took over its entire expression.

"Go to hell..."

Snap——

Magic power surged within its body, and the spell that had begun to work would take immediate effect. But in that instant, a snap of the fingers appeared before the Fake God.

The next second, the force of the "Supreme Angel" forcibly pulled it from the air to the ground, and as Ronald withdrew his sword after a full swing, gathering all his strength, he chopped towards its neck.

Whoosh——

The longsword burning with the power of the Sun sliced through the air, and as it passed, the air itself twisted from the intense heat.

But Ronald’s full-powered strike,

just missed.

As a top creation of the mystical side, the artificial deity’s spellcasting speed was extremely fast, and it needed not chant any incantations.

In the face of imminent danger, it successfully manipulated magic power to complete the spell.

Its body shrank instantaneously before Ronald, dodging the strike that melded multiple enhancements.

Ronald blinked.

His vision was able to catch the transformation of the artificial deity; on the burning ground of the six-member council, now stood an ant-sized pale shadow at his feet.

Then, the Fake God began its decree:

"Human, you are courting death!"

The artificial deity was unaware that Ronald had not used the terrifying Thunder Magic from the last time, but as a deity that had witnessed various spells, it could guess that there must be conditions limiting the use of that spell.

Since that spell was not available,

its attitude could no longer be as friendly as before.

With the help of the spell, shrinking its form did not interfere with the strength of the artificial deity.

It accelerated from thin air and reached behind Ronald in the blink of an eye.

Magic power circulated again, and two triangular runes emerged on the hands of the artificial deity. Then quickly reverting to its original size, its hands firmly pressed against Ronald’s back.

Buzz——

The holy flames of the "Chariot of God" could not protect Ronald from the Fake God’s attack.

And immediately after, there was only a fleeting flash of pale light from the "Guardian Angel."

Within the "Negative Infinity Domain," Ronald’s defensive spells were also enhanced. However, they could not withstand the assault of the artificial deity, not even for a moment.

Boom!

Suddenly, the dome of the six-member council was shattered in an instant.

At this critical moment, green tentacles imbued with tremendous strength descended from the heavens, striking directly atop the head of the artificial deity.

```

Having regained consciousness, Bapulor had no intention of standing idly by.

He was crushing the Wizards trying to approach the area into pieces while closely following Ronald’s battle situation.

The Magician didn’t want to disrupt Ronald’s own battle rhythm.

But when necessary, he had his own ideas.

And now.

Was the moment Bapulor thought it necessary to intervene.

"Roar——"

After completing that strike, the massive Bapulor let out an angry roar.

Though the sound was nothing like a human’s, Ronald still subtly understood what the creature meant.

——"The enemy isn’t dead, I can’t hold it back!"

Things were just as Bapulor had described.

The artificial deity, suddenly ambushed, was immediately pressed into the soil atop the mountain by the tentacles and then forcefully buried several meters deep.

But under duress, it managed to imprint the newly completed Spell onto Bapulor’s tentacles.

In an instant.

On the massive green tentacles, flesh governed by Magic Power conjured two rigid triangles that then began to wrestle with each other. Even though the tentacle was derived from the Complete Technique, it couldn’t resist this force at all.

In just a breath or two of time.

The massive tentacle was twisted by that force into fragments and then began to extend along the tentacle toward Bapulor’s body.

The Magician timely severed this part of his body.

It was only by discarding a tail like a gecko that he evaded this crisis.

Afterwards...

The superiority of Bapulor’s Complete Technique was again displayed.

Though he lost a tentacle, a new one identical to the previous grew from the wound on his body in just tens of seconds and immediately continued to sweep the surroundings.

In this overwhelming might, not even a hint of weakness could be perceived.

On the other side, the peak of Barrier Mountain was now in disarray.

The once perfectly formed summit was now marred by a groove forcefully made by Bapulor’s tentacle, with the splashing dirt and dust creating chaos.

Ronald stood on a piece of rubble, currently spreading the mist of Hell’s power around him.

That’s when he sensed other Great Wizards from Barrier Mountain preparing to back him up.

However, Ronald was not worried about this.

He simply flashed a smile, then resumed pinpointing the artificial deity’s location.

...

At this very moment.

On the slopes of Barrier Mountain.

Three Great Wizards, seeing the battle at the summit and preparing to rush to support the Council of Six, understood the importance of the artificial deity.

However, in front of these individuals.

A girl with vividly red long hair stood in their way.

"Catherine, what do you mean by this!"

"This path is closed."

Catherine answered calmly.

The look she gave her former companions was one of deep disdain and condescension.

Catherine didn’t even bother to explain further and directly activated the tenth technique of her Canon — "Naked Sun".

Elijah Baley was desperately resisting the fear deep inside him.

This fear had been accumulating for at least two weeks.

No, perhaps even longer...
