It wasn't that Lu Xiao wanted to let the enemy go on purpose, but that he was indeed powerless, and Lu Xiao himself was speechless.
'For something like divine power, once it reaches the level of a main god, it is simply a foul.'
Divine power not only has powerful defense and self-healing capabilities, but once used on the main god of the combat system, its attack power will also be greatly improved.
Fortunately, the one guarding the Western Temple is Brachi, the God of Poetry, who is not good at fighting. If he encounters fighting gods like Heimdall and Vader, Lu Xiao will spend more effort to subdue them, and he will not be able to kill them.
After the Northern Temple, Lu Xiao was the second to destroy the giant runes enshrined in the Western Temple.
Out of the four, the barrier in the inner city of Asgard has weakened. Fenrir, who was sitting outside the city counting ants, finally raised his head and pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on in the city.
"Don't worry."
Tamamo-mae, who was sitting next to Fenrir, patted its head in boredom: "It's not time for us to appear yet, please wait."
"Ouch~"
…
The twin blades of chaos burning with flames were waving in the southern temple, and the plants spawned by Vader could not play much role under the ignition of the eternal flames of karma.
Asgard is not a forest, and Vader's strength cannot be maximized within the city.
"ha!"
Atreus took advantage of Vader's panic to deal with Kratos's flaming swords and rushed out from behind Vader. The arrow with the lightning paralysis effect hit the enemy's vest.
Regardless of the damage caused by the arrow, Vader's body was paralyzed for a moment.
Kratos obviously would not miss this opportunity, and the Blade of Chaos, which was bound by chains and swung freely, suddenly changed direction.
The double-edged chains tied Vader's hands tightly, and Kratos used brute force to control him.
"Atreus!"
Atreus, who had already aimed at Vader's head, sighed silently and shot the arrow in his hand.
Kratos and his son are both demigods, and they also have divine power, so divine protection cannot have full effect on them.
Vader, who was penetrated through the back of his head, immediately lost the strength to struggle and fell limply to the ground, quickly losing all signs of life.
"I will...return...to nature."
Atreus looked at Vader's body with some sadness: "Father, Vader should be considered a good god. Is it really good for us to kill him?"
Kratos retracted his weapon and squatted down to look level with Atreus: "Kid, remember."
"There is no talk of good or evil in war, only different positions."
"Pitying the enemy on the battlefield is irresponsible for one's own life. Vader made his own choice. He decided to stand on the opposite side of us based on his own will, and so did we, that's all."
Atreus still didn't understand, but he subconsciously felt that his father's words made sense. This was the effect of his gradually emerging divinity.
"I understand, father, where are we going next."
"Evacuate in advance as planned."
Kratos said briefly: "Asgard is not the final main battlefield."
…
Sif's fighting power is slightly stronger than Brachi, but her strength is limited. She is not a fighting god in the first place, but only joins the battle out of the obsession of revenge.
"clang!"
Sif's giant sword was cleverly cut from the side by Yongzhen, diverting the sword's attack direction.
If it were Thor and Tyr who were better at fighting, they should be able to react quickly and immediately think of follow-up countermeasures after the attack missed, such as slapping Yongzhen in the face with a shield attack.
Under the influence of her husband and sons, Sif's combat experience is not a pure rookie, but there is a clear gap compared with Yongzhen and Skadi who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Shifu, whose center of gravity was diverted, failed to adjust in time and was hit in the abdomen by Yongzhen's left fist.
"Hmm~"
In pain, Xif instinctively made an emergency move, bent her knees and pressed against Yongzhen's lower abdomen.
In the battle, Yongzhen will not be like Sif and do his best, and it will be easier to turn around with some room left.
Before Sif's attack hit, Yongzhen took advantage of the reaction force from hitting Sif's abdomen and retreated.
"Whoosh!"
Skadi's arrow pierced in the moment the two separated. Sif relied on her god-level physical fitness to forcefully raise her shield to defend herself, barely blocking the powerful and heavy arrow.
"Hu~hu~"
The brief battle consumed Sif's energy, and several times she felt like she was dancing on the edge of death.
Yongzhen didn't give Xif a chance to breathe. When he took action again, he made a seal with one hand on his chest.
"Who!"
Strengthening spells increase Yongzhen's power in a short period of time. This increase has no side effects, and the increase is not that large.
Sif's combat experience is indeed a bit poor, but her physical fitness makes Yongzhen quite wary.
Previously, Yongzhen's right hand holding the sword was numb just from the side contact with the sword. Realizing the disadvantage, Yongzhen immediately used magic to make up for it.
Here again, Sif's lack of combat experience was exposed. She failed to judge the type of Yongzhen's spell, thinking it was an offensive spell, and froze on the spot with defensive movements.
Yongzhen would not miss this opportunity. Before Sif took the initiative, he cast spells one after another to buff himself and Skadi.
At this point in the battle, the outcome has already been decided. Sif, who entered the battlefield with passion, was no match for the experienced Yongzhen and Skadi.
This war between women was ultimately won by Yongzhen's side. Skadi's arrow seized the opportunity to hit Sif between the eyebrows, sending the goddess of earth and harvest to reincarnation in Helheim.
…
In front of the Hall of Valor, Freya flapped her wings and maneuvered at high speed in the air. Heimdall's eyes could keep up with her speed, but his body reaction was obviously half a beat slower.
"Qiang!"
The sword cut from an unknown source hit Heimdall's shoulder armor, and the surface of the golden armor was covered with a thick shield.
"Guardian God Heimdall, you can indeed show your greatest strength in Asgard, your home court."
"clang!"
Before Heimdall could catch Freya, he was attacked again on the left side of his abdomen.
In just one second, Heimdall was hit five times all over his body.
Freya reappeared, suspended in mid-air, and warned Heimdall in a cold voice: "I will give you one last chance. Leave. I will not hold back the next attack."
Heimdall knew long ago that he was no match for Freya in her heyday, even with the blessing of the patron saint.
This boss is a tough being who can compete with Odin. Even if he loses to Odin, there won't be a big gap.
"I still say the same thing."
Heimdall stubbornly regained his balance: "I have a duty, so I can't obey my orders!"
"Stubborn!"
Freya's sword began to have divine power: "Then don't blame me for being rude!"
"Crack!"
The sword strike that was previously blocked by Heimdall's armor and protective power broke through the defense this time. Heimdall's lower back armor was penetrated, and bright red blood shot out from the gaps in the armor.
After a hit, Freya did not waste the opportunity and recited a spell in her mouth.
"Ahhhhh!"
A strange vine-like plant suddenly grew out of Heimdall's wound. It burst Heimdall's back armor from the inside and greedily absorbed the blood from Heimdall's wound.
Having a foreign object growing inside your body is by no means an interesting experience. Heimdall, whose wound was enlarged, almost fell to the ground, barely holding his sword on the ground to maintain his balance.
