With the Hell Familiar Golia defeated, the Hell Gladiator Arena was officially cleared, and the ranking rewards were distributed.
In front of every participating professional, a portal appeared that led out of the Hell Gladiator Arena.
But in reality, the battle was not yet over.
On the battlefield, the God of Wrath Jie'e, controlled by Zhang Yue, was fighting one against two, holding off the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence.
After the Hell Gladiator Arena was broken through, everyone's levels and powers were restored to their original states.
Without the effect of level reset, the Three Main Gods all immediately returned to level 450.
This scene left Wolong and the others astonished.
"Didn't expect them to recover so fast, without anyone noticing, they're already back at level 450."
If not for Zhang Yue's interference, at this very moment, the Flowing Gold Warrior and the Three Main Gods would have already devoured all the participating professionals' power in the arena, fully restoring themselves to the level 500 peak.
"So close, we almost let their plot succeed!"
Once restored to full strength, the battle became even more devastating.
Because the difference between level 175 and level 450 was like heaven and earth.
A battle between three level 450 King-class Boss Main Gods, it was apocalyptic.
With his own strength alone, the God of Wrath clearly couldn't withstand the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence together.
But knowing the God of Wrath was Zhang Yue's summoned creature, countless professionals in the arena all joined in the battle.
Those who rushed in were nearly all top-tier level 500 Tier 9 powerhouses.
With top-tier equipment and mighty 5S-level skills, every one of them had strength at the absolute peak of the professional world.
Yet even such a group of peak professionals, against level 450 Main Gods, could only be instantly slain.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Those Tier 9 professionals who ran forward to aid the God of Wrath didn't even manage to get close before being blasted into white light by the death beam spewed from the mouth of the God of Malevolence, Motan.
The sheer power was shocking.
Keep in mind: both the God of Malevolence and the God of Desire had only just restored themselves to level 450.
Even with just that much power, they could already instantly kill level 500 Tier 9 professionals.
It's easy to imagine, once they fully recovered to the level 500 peak, even Ghost Swordsman and Frost Magic King together might not be a match for any single one of the Main Gods.
The gap between level 450 and level 500 was a whole 50 levels.
And this was the final flaw of the Three Main Gods.
Professionals from all nations joined the fight, uniting with the God of Wrath to face the two Main Gods together.
Because they had already suffered heavy blows in two consecutive rounds from Wolong and Zhang Yue's side, the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence no longer had much battle power.
In the end, they couldn't withstand the God of Wrath and the rest of the professionals, and gradually fell into defeat.
———
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Originally, because of his familiarity with himself, Zhang Yue had been completely crushing the Flowing Gold Warrior in a one-on-one fight.
But after the Hell Gladiator Arena was broken, everyone's levels returned to normal.
Zhang Yue's level was only 175 to begin with, so whether the arena was open or closed made no difference to him.
But the Flowing Gold Warrior instantly jumped from level 175 to level 480.
With his [Devouring Body], his growth speed was even faster than that of the Three Main Gods.
So when Zhang Yue's attack once again landed on the Flowing Gold Warrior, it only caused a tiny number to float above his head—
-1!
The damage wasn't high, but the insult was immense.
Like throwing a sunflower seed at a lion.
The lion instantly enraged.
He swung his longsword directly at Zhang Yue.
"DIE!"
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Ice Emperor appeared with shield in hand, blocking the Flowing Gold Warrior's strike for Zhang Yue.
After restoring to level 480, the Flowing Gold Warrior's strength was indeed terrifying.
But the level 500 Tier 9 legendary Ice and Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, wasn't weak either.
With a 20-level gap in his favor, he easily blocked the Flowing Gold Warrior's strike.
A counter-shock forced the Flowing Gold Warrior to retreat.
At the same time, Moon Mark the Moon-Slaying Messenger, and the Sky-Worshipper Seraph, also rushed over.
The three supreme powerhouses of Dragon Country joined forces, forcing the Flowing Gold Warrior back.
For a level 480 body to kill Zhang Yue at level 175 should have been effortless.
But with these level 500 Tier 9 professionals in the way, he didn't even have the chance to get close to Zhang Yue.
Looking past Ice Emperor and the others, at Zhang Yue being guarded in the rear, the Flowing Gold Warrior's scarlet, murderous eyes burned with killing intent.
"Asura, one day, I will kill you!"
Realizing the Flowing Gold Warrior was trying to escape, Ice Emperor instantly unleashed freezing power, attempting to ice-bind him.
But suddenly, the God of Desire, Wu En, descended from the sky, using his divine soul [Angel's Wing] to condense a winged shield, blocking completely.
Angel's Wing could not only block any attack, but even granted immunity to most control effects.
The power of this divine soul was truly formidable.
It almost made Zhang Yue drool with envy.
Too bad he couldn't kill the God of Desire just yet.
Otherwise, he'd definitely have taken that divine soul.
Taking advantage of Angel's Wing blocking Ice Emperor's strike, the Flowing Gold Warrior opened a spatial rift behind him.
"We will meet again, Asura."
Leaving behind these words for Zhang Yue, the Flowing Gold Warrior retreated into the rift.
Those around him could only watch him escape.
Not because they didn't want to stop him, but because they simply couldn't.
Ghost Swordsman, Frost Magic King, Heaven-and-Earth Mage, Arrow Emperor, Witch Ancestor, all had lost their fighting ability.
Who else could possibly stop the Flowing Gold Warrior?
Soon after, the God of Desire Wu En and the God of Malevolence Motan also disappeared into the rift along with the Flowing Gold Warrior.
Until silence fell over the battlefield.
At this moment, the battle was finally over.
Though they hadn't killed the Flowing Gold Warrior and the other two Main Gods, this battle was still a great victory.
All over the world, people erupted in cheers.
For them, it was the joy of surviving a calamity.
After all, they had truly thought they were about to be wiped out.
The barrage in Zhang Yue's livestream scrolled endlessly with messages.
["Hero!"]
["Holy crap! Master, please accept my pot lid, ah, no, my knees!"]
["A real savior! From today on, you're my dad! Zero-dad, I love you!"]
Zhang Yue ignored the barrage of comments from all countries.
For him, even though he hadn't personally taken the champion reward in this Hell Gladiator, he had still gained something that could be called a massive harvest, one that marked a qualitative leap in his professional career.
Looking ahead at the God of Wrath Jie'e, now in standby after leaving combat.
Zhang Yue stretched out his left hand, and in his palm, a dark-golden ball of light appeared.
At first glance, most wouldn't think much of it.
But Ghost Swordsman Elfa and Frost Magic King Kwon Ji-hyun, as Mythical-Class professionals, suddenly widened their eyes in shock.
"This is… a divine soul?"
"Zero is a Mythical-Class professional!"
