No God Emperor opened his palm. He grabbed Governor Ray's face and smashed him on the ground. They moved in a straight line, creating a huge and deep valley.

Ibis chased after them to help Governor Ray.

Swoosh!!

No God Emperor suddenly paused and released Governor Ray. He quickly turned around and caught Ibis off guard. She didn't have a time to dodge as he delivered a blow to her stomach.

Bang!

Ibis endured the blow as she swung her sword. No God Emperor already saw this so he managed to avoid the slash by shifting his body to the side.

At the same time, Souta's flashed heading to the battle with insane speed. Governor Ray was reaching his limit and Ibis couldn't take No God Emperor alone so he had to step forward and fight once again.

"So you're here!

" No God Emperor said with a smile.

"Yeah! And this time, I'm gonna defeat you!

" Souta roared before he swung the vajra sword in his hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two exchanged high-speed blows in the air. Each one of their attacks shook the entire area, causing the landforms to change.

In just a few seconds, Souta was blown several kilometers. He was weaker than his opponent.

"Is that it?

" No God Emperor chased after him but Ibis intercepted him.

They clashed in midair. Ibis used the sword arts that she knew just to keep No God Emperor busy even for just a few seconds.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Governor Ray spat a mouthful of blood. He forced himself to stand and glanced at the battle. He couldn't fall while No God Emperor was still here. He had to do his best but his body was at its limit.

"Damn... I have to do this... I can't fall here...

"

He gritted his teeth. The pain that was caused by the monster potion was the only thing that was keeping him conscious.

"I can still feel the pain. It means that I can somehow handle it.

"

He clenched both of his fists tightly. He could still feel the pain so his body was still working fine.

Boom!!

Souta and Ibis worked together to fight against No God Emperor. It's just that their opponent was unbelievably strong and they couldn't even gain an advantage even for a single second.

No God Emperor was smashing them.

Swoosh!!

He grabbed both Souta and Ibis' faces. He grind their faces on the ground before he threw them away and launched a sphere of energy.

Souta and Ibis kicked each other in the air to avoid the energy sphere. They landed on the ground and took a deep breath before they launched themselves once again.

Governor Ray, who was watching in the distance, took a deep breath. He bent his knees and with a boom, he dashed ahead with all of his might.

"I'm not gonna let it end here!

"

It became a three-on-one battle. Even though No God Emperor was outnumbered, he still didn't think that his opponents would be able to take him down.

It wasn't easy to do that.

It would take more before they could dream of defeating him.

ROAR!!

A deafening roar shook the entire land causing everyone to turn their heads. They saw that Gerxuzs had stood up and was raging to fight once again.

His roar traveled throughout the entire planet. His battle intent was heard by everyone in the land.

He was back.

"I. Am. Gerxuzs!!!

"

Gerxuzs glared at No God Emperor. He gritted his teeth and charged with great momentum. With every step that he took, his speed increases until he surpassed the perception of ordinary people.

Swoosh!!

Souta, Governor Ray, and Ibis retreated as Gerxuzs jumped in the air and smashed the huge club in his hand at No God Emperor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Alexander watched the battle with a serious look on his face. He was exhausted but he could still stand and launch a decisive attack.

Suddenly, he felt something as he stared at the sky.

"It's activated... The relics that I've left in Hall Plains.

"

The corner of his mouth curved upwards as he slowly gathered his energy. He stared at the sky and opened his arms widely as if he was welcoming someone.

"One more time...

"

He said softly as blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. The next second, his aura rose sharp as he activated Element Drive.

Boom!!

The whole planet started to shake, no, the entire space within this star system was trembling. The distorted space formed a crack. It slowly spreads out covering the whole star system.

No God Emperor and the others who were fighting couldn't help but pause as they observed their surroundings.

"This...

"

No God Emperor widened his eyes as he quickly turned his head to look at Alexander. He bent his knees and launched himself at Alexander.

The space was cracking and he realized that this wasn't ordinary at all since it covered the entire star system. It should be something that could threaten him.

"You have something in your sleeve. I didn't expect that.

" No God Emperor said.

Souta regained his senses and shouted,

"Let's hold down No God Emperor!! Alexander will try to take him out!!

"

Ibis and Governor Ray snapped out of their daze.

Swoosh!!

A figure passed before them and dragged No God Emperor onto the ground. Gerxuzs smashed his opponent once again before he struck No God Emperor's head with his club.

Bang!!

"Don't get distracted while fighting me!!

" Gerxuzs roared.

Souta, Ibis, and Governor Ray dashed forward to keep No God Emperor busy. They were staking everything to Alexander's last ace. They could only hope that it would work.

Bang! Bang!

The whole space continued to tremble.

In the Hall Plains...

"We've activated the ruins, so what should we do now?

" Amanda asked Lindi and Jason.

Rumble!!

Before the two could even answer her question something changed within the ruin. The whole place started to shake as if there was a huge earthquake. Then, an enormous amount of energy soared through the sky as if it was going to tear the space.

"This... All the ruins are moving at the same time.

" Jason and Lindi said simultaneously.

Their conjecture was right. The ruins were still active and it just needed to activate the trigger. It would start working again just like in the past.

But... They didn't know the use of these ruins. They just stake everything here thinking that the ruins could help them against the Hall of Power.

"What is happening... It's moving as if someone was controlling it.

" Amanda said in a low voice as she looked up.

In the sub-world...

The space was broken. A loud sound reverberated in the whole star system.

"This is my final ace!

" Alexander gritted his teeth.

Several floating diamond-shaped devices came out of the shattered space. These devices were strangely metallic yet fluid at the same time. There were several eyes embedded around it and each one had a height of five kilometers and a width of one kilometer.

It was gigantic.

Argh!

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Alexander gritted his teeth as blood flowed out of his seven orifices. He could hardly control these things with his current power level.

Souta, Ibis, and Governor Ray quickly retreated as they knew that Alexander had completed his preparation. They went to the other side and cast multiple barriers to protect themselves.

Thud!

Governor Ray fell to his knees and spat a large amount of blood. His vision was getting blurry and he felt intense pain all over his body. He could barely hold on at this moment.

"Hey, can you still handle it?

" Ibis asked while breathing heavily. Her condition was a little bit better since she didn't drink a monster potion but she was exhausted too.

Souta glanced at the two before he looked down at both of his hands. He was trembling nonstop and he could barely feel the sword in his hand. He was getting numb.

He shook his head and looked ahead.

Gerxuzs was still fighting No God Emperor with pure determination. His tenacity was absolutely in a different league. He was a pure predator that wanted to end the life of his prey.

"We'll pull him out before Alexander attacks No God Emperor,

" Souta said in a low voice.

Ibis nodded and said,

"We'll do it, Squad Leader Souta. This guy could barely stand.

"

She was talking about Governor Ray. He was in a worse condition as his mana pool got damaged as the side effect of drinking a monster potion.

"Go!!

" Alexander shouted.

Souta and Ibis immediately dashed forward. They knew what they had to do. Alexander also knew what was going on even without asking.

Swoosh!

Ibis poured her remaining energy into her sword and clashed with No God Emperor while Souta threw strings of webs and attached them around Gerxuzs.

"Come here!!

"

He pulled Gerxuzs away and they swiftly made a retreat. Ibis had a web attached to her back so after she exchanged a few more blows with No God Emperor, Souta pulled her away.
