Ove ascended into the sky, transforming into a massive ball of light, within which his body seemed to become a sturdy thunderbolt.
Ove’s voice was grand and majestic, without revealing any emotion.
Immediately, the power of the Truth Researcher surged out, forming a thin protective shield around Azaenn Castle, like a bowl, with some sparks flickering on it.
This thunder pressure shield was clearly a skill Ove had learned from Lin Ke’s pressure shield.
But its power far exceeded Lin Ke’s and incorporated some lightning elements.
As Ove ascended, the pressure around Azaenn Castle was immediately blocked by the shield and dissipated invisibly.
At this moment, Lin Ke realized that the initial loud noises were actually roars and screams.
It seemed that those loud noises were filtered by Ove’s pressure shield into sounds audible to the human ear.
"You possess boundless power! Everything is driven by you!"
"The ultimate essence of the world! Tidal Power!"
"Praise you! Sing of you! Believe in you!"
The voices were prayers of the believers!
However, these prayers were filled with anger, filled with despair, filled with madness!
A noble pointed towards the direction of the distant great swamp.
Everyone turned their heads, and Lin Ke looked over immediately.
A large pale blue water ball rose from a distant place, with a wisp of faint golden glint at its center.
The gold was very eye-catching, though as thin as a hair, it remained clear even when enveloped by the much larger water ball.
"Sister!!" Upon seeing the wisp of gold, Princess Rica cried out in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
Was that Lady of Tides?!
A bad premonition arose in Lin Ke’s heart.
Lady of Tides had fallen! And that was what was left after her fall!
Visible air currents formed a red furry beast claw, a pale red bird beak, and a pitch-black scaled giant tail.
Three large streams of air launched towards the central water ball, stirring up gales.
"You are the ultimate secret of force!"
"You are the daughter of the moon! You are the daughter of black and white!"
"The ocean’s power would also be shaken by you!"
"...The supreme, the Dominator of Tides!"
The prayers about tides grew faster and louder, and the blood-red clouds in the sky grew deeper in hue.
The water ball representing Lady of Tides collided with the clearly magical beast-like beast claw.
Three massive and painful roars echoed, seemingly bearing great injuries from this clash.
But the water flow then directly exploded.
The golden glint within continued to shoot skyward, like a swift snake darting through the sky, chased again by the three beast claws.
At this moment, the atmospheric phenomena suddenly changed.
The initially cerulean sky and slightly warm temperature turned into a blood-colored sky.
Then, all celestial phenomena disappeared entirely.
The sky darkened, or rather, became entirely blue-black and deep blue, devoid of any starlight.
Yet there was a full moon.
The moon was much larger than usual, bright and radiating a serene aura.
Calm, serene, profound, mysterious.
A moonbeam cascaded down from the moon, like a pale yellow pathway, shining upon the golden glint of Lady of Tides.
However, at this moment, astonishingly, in this originally tranquil night, the sun suddenly emerged.
The great sun radiated endless light and heat, piercing the tranquility of the night, hot and intense.
The entire sky was instantly divided into black and white.
"Moon, you’ve crossed the boundary!" Along with the sun’s appearance came a stern admonishment.
Simultaneously, a sunbeam, like a sword, pierced through the night’s barrier, shining towards the golden glint being guided by the moonlight.
"Poloboyeta! Return to your alliance!!!... That’s my daughter... or else... Insomnia will personally come to your Divine Kingdom to discuss with you!"
A frustrated, intermittent voice sounded from the moon, cold but with a unique imposing force.
Upon hearing the words "Insomnia," Poloboyeta seemed concerned, and the solar phenomenon paused before gradually fading into the night.
The sunbeam that had shot out retracted instantly.
Came quickly, disappeared just as quickly.
The sky was once again shrouded in darkness.
And the golden glint representing Lady of Tides had already been guided to the moon.
At the last moment, Lin Ke seemed to see a dozen figures on the moon, likely deities, especially one woman emitting endless moonlight.
One of Insomnia Emperor’s consorts, founder of the divines of Silence and Night, also known as the Lunar Pantheon, the Moon Goddess!
And the one who just briefly confronted the Moon Goddess was Poloboyeta, the deity worshiped by the Holy Life Alliance, revered by all tribal clans, granting supreme royal power to the alliance monarchs, the Sun God!
Sometimes the monarch of the Holy Life Alliance isn’t the strongest there, but can obtain reign through divine right kingship.
Of course, every great monarch of the Holy Life Alliance often possessed power on par with or even surpassing the Sun God, but the current monarch was looked down upon by the alliance people due to their weakness.
The brief high-altitude clash just now was a clash between the Sun God and the Moon Goddess!
