I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1695: Chapter 1696: Main Deity Temple Chapter 1695: Chapter 1696: Main Deity Temple Song Jian took a glance at the three divine-level foreign races outside the formation, released the Holy Spirit Warrior, then shut the monitoring window. After all, three divine-level powerhouses alone couldn’t possibly breach the defense, especially a godly defensive formation controlled by Song Jian himself.

At this moment, one after another, the temples within the Divine World suddenly burst into light, a sign that the deities had ascended to the Divine World and taken control of their residing temples; it also indicated that the opening of the Pantheon was imminent.

Outside the sealing light curtain of the Pantheon, the Bright God clenched his teeth and glared hatefully at the distant temples, which were awakening one by one; resentment surged in his heart.

“I am the most powerful deity right now, yet I can only watch as they catch up one after another. Damn it, I will not accept this!” The face of the Bright God, originally handsome, twisted with fury. His Light Divine Power surged like a tide, spreading in all directions. Any creature that sensed his terrifying divine power either fled in terror or dared not run, simply prostrating on the ground, emitting pitiful moans.

“Teehee, is it hard to contain yourself?” A giggling voice came from behind the Bright God, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, instantly sobering him.

He turned around and saw a person who looked like a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl, sitting on a rock less than ten meters away from the Bright God, swinging her legs back and forth and watching him with clear interest.

“Mesa, have you recovered too?” A look of surprise crossed the face of the Bright God. Mesa was also a deity of Main God Level, but her approach to cultivation was different from his. Mesa’s strength was built bit by bit without the infusion of the Power of Faith. Therefore, even in the game world, not many knew of the deity named Mesa.

Yet, Mesa had a place among the twelve seats of the Main Deities within the Pantheon.

One must understand that in the Divine World, the number of deities with Main God Level might not be many, but there were certainly more than twelve. Those who held a seat among the twelve Main Deities of the Pantheon were all of formidable strength, at the very least far surpassing the average Main God Level deities.

It was by leveraging the immense power of the Church of Light that the Bright God had regained his divine strength. The mightier the deity had been before falling to the mortal realm, the stronger the seal on their powers, the more difficult it was to break through. The Bright God had never expected Mesa to re-enter the Divine World just over a month after him.

For a moment, the Bright God felt a deep wariness towards Mesa. If not for the tens of millions of believers supplying him with Power of Faith, he knew he was no match for Mesa.

“Lord of Terror, Mesa, you can’t enter your Main Sanctuary either, can you?” The Bright God seemed to think of something and couldn’t help but sneer.

“Yes, it’s because we both built our Main Temples in the God Mountain Range. If I had known, I wouldn’t have built my Main Temple there…” Mesa sighed with a sense of helplessness, “But there are benefits to this as well. At least my temple won’t be occupied by those foreign races and looted. Hehe, I’ve heard that quite a few deities’ temples have been taken over and ransacked by foreign races over the past decade. Tsk tsk, I wonder if those deities, upon returning to their temples and seeing such desolation, will just break down and cry, haha~”
“Hmph!” With a cold snort, the Bright God turned away and looked towards the highest peak of the God Mountain Range, where the Pantheon was located. In the central square of the Pantheon stood a tall stone tower, fitted with a massive sacred bell decorated with many small compartments. At this time, seven or eight compartments had already lit up with flames, indicating that a temple had come under the control of a deity and connected with the Pantheon. Once two-thirds of the compartments on the sacred bell were illuminated, it would signify the Pantheon’s reopening and the lifting of the seal over the God Mountain Range. Then, the twelve Main Deity-level powerhouses would be able to return to the God Mountain Range.

“What, still fixated on the God King’s scepter? Hehe, tell me, why do you care so much about that lightning scepter when you don’t even master the laws of thunder and lightning?” The Lord of Terror, Mesa, gazed at the Bright God, puzzled, “Even if you could pick up that lightning scepter, you wouldn’t be able to use it. Could it be that you truly covet the throne of the God King?”

“Mesa, you have no idea what the God King’s scepter represents…” The Bright God looked at Mesa with scorn, not deigning to explain anything to her.

“Come on, just talk. You can’t get in right now anyway, so it’s a good time for a chat!” Meishayin shrugged her shoulders, not caring at all about the attitude of the God of Light.

They had been interacting for over a thousand years and knew each other very well. Even their Main Temples were situated on two adjacent peaks, making them practically neighbors.

“Hmph!” The God of Light shook his head. He wasn’t willing to share this secret with anyone else.

“So boring…” The Lord of Terror, Meishayin, pouted and boredly looked around before muttering to herself, “I wonder when the other ten will come back. I really want to see what they look like when they can’t get into their homes, whether they are as amusing as this guy here~”
Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the God Mountain Range, like a bolt of lightning striking down from the sky, slamming hard into one of the Main Temples within the range.

Crack~
A sound of shattering arose, as the divine mark floating above the seventh Main Temple in the God Mountain Range was directly smashed to pieces by the force of this thunderbolt. In an instant, the brilliance on the surface of the temple dimmed as if it had turned to stone.

The God of Light and the Lord of Terror both revealed surprised expressions. After exchanging a glance, they looked together towards the God Mountain Range. The Lord of Terror, Meishayin, even rubbed her eyes, her face showing disbelief.

“Fallen, fallen, how could this be, how is it possible…” Meishayin suddenly screamed, a trace of fear emerging deep in her heart.

The destruction of the divine mark meant that the owner of the temple had fallen. It should be noted that the temples in the God Mountain Range all belonged to Main God Level beings. Such powerful beings could actually fall in the game world?

“Hehe, it’s the temple of the Creation Deity…” The God of Light laughed softly, as if he thought of something.

“The Creation God Muhantu’s, has he fallen?” The Lord of Terror, Meishayin, was momentarily absent-minded. It was well known that in the divine battle thousands of years ago, the Creation Deity had not fallen. Yet, after descending to the mortal world and becoming a Legendary Realm warrior, he had completely perished. Such an end, not only unexpected for the Creation Deity, but probably unimaginable for any other Main God Level being.

“This was a Main God Level being!” Meishayin talked to herself, her eyes unfocused, as if she had thought of something, she shook her head and sighed.
