Chapter 1327: Chapter 1312: The Gods Who Are Wary Chapter 1327: Chapter 1312: The Gods Who Are Wary Rewards must come with achievements, punishments with faults. Conversely, there should be no reward without achievement, no punishment without fault. This is something that a top-tier manager must understand.

Whether it’s indiscriminate rewarding or whimsical punishing, both can dissolve the cohesion of one’s subordinates. Muria knew this, so every Giant Dragon that underwent his divine power refinement signed a contract (a debt acknowledgment).

Transforming his subordinates into dragons capable of wielding divine power was an emergency measure, but he still needed to ensure they were not devoid of the motivation to strive upwards.

And the Legendary Ancient Dragons that received his infusion of divine power, although their strength did not reach the level of deities, merely possessed deity-level divine power. Beyond that, everything else remained unchanged.

They could, with their divinely refined bodies, overpower almost all beings below the level of deities, even the avatars descended by the gods could be contended with, but facing the true bodies of divine beings, they found themselves slightly lacking.

In other words, Muria and other deities were more suited for proxy wars rather than engaging in combat with their true forms, for apart from his own true self, it seemed he had no one who could confront a True God. This made him appear somewhat isolated in power.

“Father, let me go, this god only possesses inferior divine power, I can confront it!”

Seeing that Muria was still pondering, Ketiya once again volunteered, her eyes brimming with eagerness to try. Oh divine beings, in Elasia, where else could she have the opportunity to battle a god. Or rather, such a minor god didn’t even have the courage to strike at her.

“With what will you confront them?” Muria couldn’t help but be speechless, for gods to mortals were like beings from another dimension, immune to all magic below Legendary and some Legendary Spells, with only a few Legendary Spells capable of harming them, and even then, just harm.

To think of making a deity fall was outright impossible, the gap in existence between them was too vast, and causing injury to a deity was already a feat.

“My own power,” declared Ketiya, her face full of confidence. According to Titan calculations, even though she was but a maiden, to her the gods only represented a challenge, without a trace of hesitation.

“You are not yet an Epic!” Muria felt utterly speechless.

“Father, I was nurtured by source power. My strength is very close to the original Titan! Therefore, I…”

The breathtakingly vigorous Titan maiden’s eyes sparkled with golden lightning arcs, eager to proceed.

“Father, just let Ketiya try, since you’ll be watching over, nothing can go wrong, right?” Tiffany interceded on behalf of Muria from the side.

“That is also true,” Muria stroked his chin. Should there be a failure, there was no need to mention it, even if there was failure, the loss of face could be regained by his own efforts. So, looking at his daughter brimming with eagerness, he granted his blessing.

…

“This is my territory, the future of my race resides here; thus, even if I die in battle, I will not retreat a single step.”

The God of Yellow Sand, protector of Yellow Stone, Ugo Sosa watched the dragon, glowing with a brilliance akin to the sun before the incredible Floating City, murmuring to himself in his heart.

Even if he fell, as long as his race survived, a second could be nurtured, but if his race lost its future, then even if he continued to exist, it would be meaningless.

“Defeat this divine beast, demonstrate my power and will to the existence behind this divine beast and then apologize and concede some of my controlled territories.”

With a resolve to die, the divine being figured out what he should do. Battle wouldn’t solve problems, it’s merely a path to mutual extinction with the race he protected.

He needed to properly show his toughness, then soften up. His ultimate bottom line was to ensure his race could move to another domain with abundant water resources; beyond that, nothing else mattered.

Having decided on his next steps, the divine being who could reach the clouds stirred up a sandstorm. The land beneath him had already changed topography upon his arrival, the stony wasteland transforming into a desert.

Then, the sands rising to the sky turned into hundreds of sand rivers snaking through the sky, akin to hundred-meter-long Giant Serpents, twisting towards Renata.

Though his opponent was just a divine beast, he dared not underestimate her. Having arrived at this congregation of the gods, he had already realized that even divine beings of the same divine power level could vary drastically in strength depending on their divine duties.

Solar Divine Power, undoubtedly among the most supreme types of divine power, any existence capable of wielding this power, even if only a divine beast, was not to be underestimated.

And not beyond the expectations of the God of Yellow Sand, facing this tentative attack from him, the crimson Giant Dragon hovering in front of the Floating City let out a resounding roar, then her Dragon Body, bursting into Sun Flame, became blurred.

Under the emotionless gaze of the God of Yellow Sand, the first sand serpents to touch the Sun Dragon were arrogantly melted by the dominant Sun Flame and sublimated in the extreme heat.

In this pure contest of divine power, the God of Yellow Sand, who was completely at a disadvantage, was not surprised. He had been prepared, knowing he could not compete in quality alone. However, as a deity, he could exhaust the Giant Dragon to death just by the sheer volume of his power.

But after that, he would provoke the entity behind the beast and be burned to death by the Solar Divine Power. The future of his race would be on the verge of extinction, entirely dependent on his actions now.

Thus, the guardian deity, who wished only for his race to live a better life, stirred the vast desert sand and cautiously attacked Renata. His every move was majestic and grand, keeping Renata busy defending without endangering her life.

However, the situation was not under the control of the God of Yellow Sand, and before he could completely deplete the Sun Flame on the godly beast, a bolt of Golden Thunder pierced through the wild sands.

Boom!

Thousands of arcs of golden light ravaged around the lord of the yellow sand, who, towering over the desert like the mountains, lowered the hand that shielded his chest and then stared at the scorch marks above.

Then, he looked in the direction of the attack and saw a young girl riding the Thunder Dragon with a God Bow in hand, causing the deity’s expression to turn grim.

“Divine Descendant?”

Ketiya, though not powerful in the eyes of the deity, brought enough surprise to the God of Yellow Sand. He sensed an ancient and vast aura about the rider, making him uncertain about his initial guess.

Since sensing an ancientness from the life aura of the young rider, timeless through the ages, it was this antiquity that instilled fear in the deity.

But at that moment, he didn’t have the energy to ponder further, as the young divine child was already charging over on the blue Thunder Dragon.

…
“Is this a new participant in this grand feast? She looks remarkable, daring to attack a deity. Regardless of victory or defeat, my offspring lack the courage to do even this,” reasoned another deity.

“This vast ancient Bloodline Aura.” The eyes of a deity reflected a battle that could become legendary, showing uncertainty because he had once felt a similar aura.

However, when he interacted with a being possessing a similar aura, the circumstances were not friendly, and that presence left him with unpleasant memories, far more terrifying than the aura of this divine woman.

So, he wanted to say something, but eventually, he closed his mouth. After seeing Ketiya, more deities showed similar reactions.

Once the Epic Titans born into this world became active, they inevitably interacted with top existences of this world, leaving varied memories depending on the situation.

“It’s that race again!” Some deities, having seen Ketiya, harbored some unpleasant associations, but considering various factors, they unanimously remained silent.

Aside from a few deities who had past interactions with Titans and watched silently with mixed feelings, those completely unaware of the Titan race eagerly watched as spectators.

Almost all the observing deities recognized the plight of the God of Yellow Sand, yet none wanted to intervene, deterred merely by the presence of Solar Divine Power.

Those capable of managing the “Sun” deity were not easy to contend with, which was well understood; hence, while enjoying the spectacle, all eyes were on Ketiya, who was capable of confronting a True God, stirring widespread discussion.

The current stalemate in the battle was partly due to the many concerns of the God of Yellow Sand, and partly because the divine woman wielded several powerful Divine Artifacts, yet her epic stance against the deity could not be denied.

God-splitting Seal!

Ketiya, having fought the deity in true form for countless rounds without defeat, clenched her teeth. Not achieving effective results, she pushed aside her hesitation and unleashed the ultimate weapon given by Muria.

Boom!

The square Seal, just separated from the palm of the Titan girl, wildly expanded in the sky, then pressed down on the unprepared God of Yellow Sand.

Then, the Seal, designed to kill deities and forged with that purpose, struck the arm of the god who held the heavens, triggering the Ancient Divine Text inscribed on the Seal.

Thus, the body of the God of Yellow Sand stiffened momentarily, the protective Divine Light collapsing visibly from top to bottom, and then, in the next instant, his figure vanished under the Seal.
