Chapter 309: The Divine Battle Midway
God Kings may be the ultimate power in the God Realm, but Ye Wen was a staunch materialist who believed even gods must obey the law of conservation of energy!
As Ye Wen stretched the distance between himself and his enemies, the overwhelming attacks, which would have otherwise reduced him to ashes, gradually lost much of their power, and Ye Wen took the opportunity to stabilize his domain.
"Take them back!"
With a wave of his hands, the two powerful attacks directed at him reversed course, turning back toward their creators.
The four God Kings' expressions shifted. They had been focused on deciphering Ye Wen's domain, hoping to break through it, but they hadn't anticipated Ye Wen would throw their attacks back at them so swiftly, catching them off guard.
The God Kings of Good and Evil exchanged a quick glance.
Their powers were relatively singular and not well suited for breaking out of the domain, so they took up the task of blocking Ye Wen's counterattack.
Escape? After witnessing Ye Wen's control over space in this realm, they understood that his attacks were virtually guaranteed to hit their targets unless they could break the domain.
"Holy Shield of Protection!"
Though this shield was not as powerful as the Sword of the Three Realms' Judgment, it was enough to block the attacks that had been weakened considerably.
Yet, the experience of taking such a hit was vastly different from delivering one.
While the Good and Evil God Kings knew the might of their combined move, it was still difficult to withstand, even in its weakened form. Nevertheless, they remained silent, unwilling to distract the God Kings of Destruction and Life.
Meanwhile, the God Kings of Destruction and Life were interweaving their powers to generate the Power of Creation, attempting to mimic Ye Wen's spatial manipulation and break out of the domain.
Ye Wen immediately recognized their plan, a smirk spreading across his face.
In an instant, three figures appeared in different positions around the God Kings of Destruction and Life, catching them by surprise.
In mere moments, the God Kings of Destruction and Life sensed who had arrived.
"Asura Slash!!!"
"Chaos Creation!!!"
"Angel's Judgment!!!"
These fierce attacks disrupted their efforts to generate spatial power, forcing them into a defensive stance.
"Damn you, Hanhai! So, this is the confidence you have to challenge the God Realm?!"
The God King of Destruction, his face blackened with fury, cursed out loud.
He immediately realized that the three sudden arrivals were also God King level beings, though only at the initial stage. Individually, they were no match for him or his allies. However, within Ye Wen's domain, their overwhelming advantage had been nullified.
Ye Wen remained calm, his expression laced with confidence.
"Sit back and relax, Big Brother Destruction. The era of the God Realm is over."
"You bastard! If you have the guts, drop this domain and face me one on one! Hiding behind spatial rules and talking big about ending the God Realm's era who do you think you are?!"
The God King of Destruction spat his insults while fending off attacks from Bibi Dong and the others.
Unfazed by the name calling, Ye Wen yawned and responded with a casual tone that only added fuel to the fire.
"Funny, considering you God Kings once needed five of you to take on a half body incarnation of the Dragon God and still failed to kill him. But sure, keep acting tough."
This jab hit the God King of Destruction where it hurt, and he erupted in another fit of cursing, though his choice of insults was sorely lacking.
While he cursed, he also understood the predicament they were in. Because of the power disparity, Ye Wen wasn't engaging them directly; instead, he was wearing them down. And Ye Wen's bold declarations of ending the God Realm's era likely meant he wasn't merely stalling the four God Kings here; he intended to target the remaining gods still within the God Realm.
The God King of Destruction thought back to how Ye Wen had spent centuries nurturing powerful devotees on Douluo Star.
While individually, these worshipers were no threat to him, if they were armed with the God grade equipment Ye Wen had designed, then their power would be far more formidable than it appeared on the surface.
The more he considered it, the more beads of sweat formed on his forehead. This calm and unassuming young man before him had been orchestrating this situation for a millennium. For the God King of Destruction, who had lived for eons but with a relatively straightforward nature, this was nothing less than a strategic dismantling on an unfathomable scale.
The God King of Destruction clenched his fists in frustration. Ye Wen's mastery of the supreme spatial laws made him nearly untouchable, leaving him helpless despite his side's power advantage.
Yet he was too proud to accept defeat. Thoughts raced through his mind, searching desperately for a way to break free from this situation.
While the power of Destruction was mighty, the God King of Destruction knew it was ineffective against Ye Wen's seemingly intangible spatial laws.
"Perhaps the Golden Dragon King's Law of Ruin would work," he mused.
Over the years, he had studied the Law of Ruin, which the Golden Dragon King had demonstrated. It bore a superficial resemblance to his own Law of Destruction, yet the two were worlds apart. The Law of Ruin could return all things to void, surpassing his own destructive powers by far.
As he pondered a solution, the attacks against him suddenly ceased.
"What's happening?"
Although he didn't know what Ye Wen was planning, the God King of Destruction knew that something was amiss. He looked around warily.
"Hanhai, what scheme are you up to now?" he demanded coldly.
Ye Wen stood with his hands forming seals, blood trickling from his seven orifices as his divine power surged outward.
Though Ye Wen found the godhood of the four God Kings intriguing, he also knew he couldn't subdue them at his current level. And as for trying to make them submit to him? That was simply impossible.
So there was only one path forward.
"For all the times you've 'looked after' me, let me bid you farewell. We won't be meeting again. God King Art Ultra: Gate of Banishment!!!"
In an instant, the four God Kings understood Ye Wen's intention, and their expressions changed drastically.
But it was too late.
A massive formation unfolded above their heads, revealing a starry expanse.
"You !!!"
The God King of Destruction looked at Ye Wen in shock, as if wanting to say something. But with a twist of their forms, the four God Kings vanished entirely from Ye Wen's domain.
