The Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker was also embarrassed and said, “Who knew these guys wouldn’t play by the rules? But we won, right?”
Alice, still shaken, said, “Had those people not broken their oath and invited divine retribution, wouldn’t I have been instantly killed by their focused attack if I hadn’t reacted in time?”
“You didn’t think those people only knew how to use swords, did you?” Alice remarked sarcastically.
Actually encouraging her, an Elemental Deity at her peak, to take on more than five hundred Nature Deity powerhouses — that’s not how you seek death!
The Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker then said, “Master, rest assured, everything that happened was part of my plan, provoking them with those words was just to enrage them.”
“I am so noble, are they even worthy of me drawing my sword?”
“I bet you were scared too!” Alice didn’t buy the Sword Spirit’s bluff, questioning its so-called plan.
Was it planning to find a new master?
“Joke, how could I possibly be scared?”
The Sword of Soulbreaker naturally would not admit to it,
Alice didn’t bother to argue further. Seeing that all the Nature Deities who had acted were down, losing their combat capability, she confidently put away the alchemy furnace.
“Despicable! They tricked us into acting!”
“Can’t win so she resorts to underhanded tactics, this woman is ruthless!”
“We’ve been had! Fooled by a woman with an unremarkable chest!”
…
Hearing these remarks, Alice was somewhat displeased.
What do they mean by an ‘unremarkable chest’?
Such poor choice of words, they deserved to be struck by lightning!
“You ants, I merely employed a simple strategy, and you all fell for it, and you still say you’re not useless?” Alice’s face was full of arrogance, embodying the demeanor of a master strategist, manipulating events from afar.
Upon these words, aside from those still wailing in pain, the other Nature Deity elites began to view Alice in a new light.
This woman, with her rapidly advancing strength level, wielding a somewhat peculiar sword, appearing aloof yet cunning, and adept at manipulating people’s hearts, proved to be a formidable opponent.
If Alice knew they saw her this way, she would undoubtedly burst into laughter.
Smart, cunning, and strategic, an aloof goddess, please call me the Goddess of Wisdom!
Ares, sitting beside William, suddenly remarked, “Your wife Alice is truly astute. It seems she had planned everything from the start, embodying ‘The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.'”
In Ares’s view, Alice’s strength was still somewhat lacking to confront so many Nature Deity level powerhouses, obviously requiring some special tactics.
He had thought Alice would rely on William’s power or some artifact…
But to resolve the situation with just a few words was quite impressive.
Could it be that Alice had started her scheme from the moment she made them take an oath?
Such cunning was indeed remarkable!
In a place like the Divine Realm, relying solely on strength could sometimes lead to one’s downfall, but having such delicate cunning was indeed a way to survive.
William’s lips curled into a smile, “I think she hadn’t thought that much ahead, not even considering using divine retribution.”
Ares frowned, “That can’t be right. If the lady is indeed only at the peak of Elemental Deity level, without such strategic planning, she couldn’t possibly take on so many Nature Deity level powerhouses by herself.”
“If it were someone else, perhaps they really wouldn’t dare, but her…” William laughed. Alice really got carried away, probably egged on by the Sword of Soulbreaker.
The Sword of Soulbreaker is indeed formidable, but how high could a Sword Spirit’s intelligence be?
Ares didn’t dare to say more; if William said so, then it must be the case.
But if that was true, didn’t that make Alice a bit foolish…
Alice didn’t dare to relax, her nerves taut as she scanned the surrounding powerhouses, coldly saying, “Next!”
The sword masters, severely injured by the divine retribution, dared not linger in this place.
Even if Alice were to be dealt with, they were already at their limits and had no right to compete further.
What if they were killed by others and their divine artifacts taken away?
The Divine Realm has never been a place of peace. Preserving one’s life is of utmost importance, so those who needed to flee did so.
After reorganizing the challenge order, the second Nature Deity finally approached Alice.
“Alice, just hand over the divine artifacts you possess. I am at the peak of Nature Deity level, far stronger than you. You’re no match for me!” This Nature Deity was not intimidated by Alice and laughed, “Why don’t you join me instead and become my woman? That way, I can break through with you. How about it?”
Alice lifted an eyelid and retorted, “All this nonsense? A mere peak Nature Deity level dares to covet me!”
She was somewhat confident now, not afraid to face any Nature Deity in a one-on-one duel.
This was also what the Sword of Soulbreaker had told her…
Just a bunch of Nature Deities. If it came to a one-on-one fight, she’d take them down with a single strike like they were mere noobs!
The peak Nature Deity level powerhouse didn’t say much more.
With a sweeping gesture, a massive war hammer fell from the sky.
This war hammer was a Legendary level artifact, slightly inferior to Mythical level artifacts, but as it descended from the sky, becoming as large as a mountain, its terrifying power tore through space, aiming fiercely at Alice!
“If you hide in that alchemy furnace again, this battle loses all meaning!” The Nature Deity shouted.
If Alice were to dodge into the alchemy furnace upon facing any attack, what would be the point for those who followed?
It would only lead to a deadlock.
Alice, overshadowed by the war hammer and gripping her sword, trembled slightly, a trace of fear in her, but more so tension.
“Who said I’m hiding?!” With a raise of her hand, Alice swung her sword to meet the war hammer head-on.
The secret sword technique she had come to understand these past days was not for naught. With a single strike, an even more terrifying energy burst forth.
“Boom!”
The Sword of Soulbreaker clashed with the massive war hammer from the sky, astonishingly sending the mountain-
sized hammer flying away.
Despite her lower strength level, under the full assault of a peak Nature Deity level elite, the ground beneath Alice cracked open, with the land for thousands of miles around sinking several feet and debris flying.
“Hmph! Somewhat capable!” The Nature Deity sneered coldly as the war hammer smashed down once more.
After clashing directly once, Alice felt that a peak Nature Deity level was nothing much!
Golden light flashed in her eyes, the cheat codes previously granted by a Cosmic Entity activated, increasing her strength, speed, and reaction time by fivefold.
“Bring it on!” Alice called out lowly, envisioning the scene where William shattered the God-Slaying Sword Formation with a single strike.
Boom!
With another loud noise, the Sword of Soulbreaker’s blade tore through space, splitting the war hammer in two under its edge. .
One sword to cut all!
The Nature Deity’s face went pale, his pupils contracted, and spitting out blood as his strongest divine artifact connected to his soul was broken. His body trembled uncontrollably, knowing that continuing the fight could lead to his death here.
Alice, teeth clenched and eyes fixed on him, appeared before him in the next moment, piercing his chest with another strike.
What of being at the peak of Nature Deity level?
Alice’s robes fluttered as she withdrew the Sword of Soulbreaker, the ground stained with blood.
Silence enveloped the surroundings.
A peak Elemental Deity level defeating a peak Nature Deity level?
Terrifying indeed!
