A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 691 God War

This was their second day here, and also the day the plague began.

Although all the gods were on high alert against Jiang Shuzhou's methods, quite a few people still fell victim to them.

Fortunately, only a small number of soldiers have been infected so far, and the vast majority are still relatively healthy.

But some people are alive, yet they are already dead.

Even the Goddess of Plague, after examining the infected, had to admit that Jiang Shuzhou's methods were indeed very skillful. If the other party had not been born late, he might have been the one to hold the divine office of plague.

Compared to the traditional approach of using germs or viruses for transmission, the plague created by Jiang Shuzhou has long since departed from this inefficient method of transmission and has instead become a means of information dissemination.

If an infected person interacts with another person, that person will become infected, even if it's just a glance.

Fortunately, the Plague Knights are able to effectively resist this plague, after all, they have released their share of plagues.

The way evil gods gain faith is by making people submit out of fear.

The righteous gods, on the other hand, are much gentler.

"Gentlemen, have you made your decision?"

Tyr looked at the gods.

"I've been prepared for a long time, but what about the ancient gods' intentions?"

"The sun god Asu said."

Jiang Shuzhou's rise is both a crisis and an opportunity.

Just as the god of protection Heim returned to his peak after being resurrected, Asu, as the sun god, has now also regained his powerful divine strength and has regained some say in the world.

This time, He intends to use Jiang Shuzhou's fall as a sacrifice for His return.

So, naturally, He came along with them.

"The god of death, Jag, the god of time, the god of space, and the goddess of life, they are all willing to come and help."

Apart from Jaeger, who was famous and involved in the interests of the gods, so Tyr knew his name, the other gods had long been forgotten.

It's worth mentioning that the far north has now become a dead zone because the goddess of winter has revived there.

The relationship between this goddess and the orcs was, if not irreconcilable, then certainly one of deep-seated hatred.

As a result, the entire far north was completely frozen, becoming a huge block of ice.

As for the orcs?

Perhaps in some places, some orcs still live in the cavities of the ice, but they no longer pose a threat.

Of course, the Goddess of Winter has no intention of participating in the battle.

The reason is simple: Jiang Shuzhou did not disrupt the cycle of the seasons, so He had no reason to take action against Jiang Shuzhou.

As for Jiang Shuzhou controlling the laws and then killing Him?

He doesn't care, nor does he need to care. After all, He died long ago, and even if He were resurrected by the laws now, He would only be an empty shell with the other's memories.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are irrelevant to Him.

This is also the state in which the vast majority of gods resurrected by the laws are.

However, there are always exceptions, such as the laws of fate.

As beings that have broken free from the laws governing instinct and have even developed a certain will, upholding the laws is not always the top priority.

Just as gods need faith to sustain themselves, these wills also want to live longer; they don't want to die.

"Let's begin then. If we don't deal with that guy soon, the number of civilian casualties could reach a terrifying level. Can you accept that loss?"

Clearly, no god could withstand it.

These soldiers are the elite of the church and the cornerstone of the gods' maintenance of faith in the mortal world.

If they die in large numbers...

I'm afraid the outcome won't be very good.

Time passed by, and soon all the gods were ready.

"According to the plan, I'll go first, then everyone else will join in!"

After saying this, Tyr quickly left.

He was going to take the lead and force Jiang Shuzhou out so he couldn't keep hiding like this.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Saint-Ilan City remained lifeless, as if devoid of any living creature.

However, the rustling sounds deep within the city and the shadowy figures in the fog all proved to everyone that it would be truly foolish for anyone to believe that this was a dead city.

"Jiang Shuzhou, if you don't come out, then I'll have no choice but to completely destroy this dilapidated city!"

As Tyr spoke, his body suddenly lit up, and then an incredibly terrifying aura descended upon the area.

"Come!"

Tyr shouted, then with a wave of his hand, he took a giant sword formed from holy light and slashed it fiercely towards Saint Ilan City.

If this strike lands squarely, the city of Saint Ilan will likely be completely annihilated by this terrifying power very soon.

However, Jiang Shuzhou naturally would not allow this situation.

Now that the plan has been made, Jiang Shuzhou has no reason to lose such a useful city.

"Old man, I didn't expect you to dare confront me again?"

Just as the giant sword was about to fall, Jiang Shuzhou's voice rang out, followed by a cracking sound. The once indestructible giant sword shattered into countless fragments in an instant.

"As expected, you're here."

Tyr looked at Jiang Shuzhou and spoke slowly.

"Looks like you really missed me?"

"I want to kill you every single moment."

"You old bastard, you're quite the vengeful one. All I did was kill a lot of your followers and slap you in the face, so why can't you be a little more magnanimous and forgive me?"

Jiang Shuzhou said with a grin, as if the two sides were not enemies, but old friends who had been separated for a long time.

"Ha, you're still as shameless as ever."

"Tyr said coldly."

"Sigh, it really hurts me. We've seen each other so many times..."

Jiang Shuzhou spoke slowly, then the tone shifted.

Do you think I'd believe you have no one to help you behind the scenes?

Then, in just a moment, the hazy fog in the sky dissipated, and in its place appeared a colorful sun.

The entire sky was filled with dreamlike colors, which looked quite terrifying.

Because these colors are distorted, they seem to be arranged and combined to form lines of text, or perhaps they have become an abstract painting.

It looks exceptionally attractive.

Of course, Tyr was not facing the sky, but the master of the sky.

Jiang Shuzhou's slender figure had disappeared, replaced by a figure exuding a violent aura.

The figure was enormous and exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Looking around, it was a monster with three heads, four legs and ten arms, and countless tentacles with eye symbols on its body.

"How about it, old friend? I think my image is pretty good, right?"

The monster spoke.

It's obvious that this is Jiang Shuzhou.

Even gods need to consider their image for the sake of their believers.

Jiang Shuzhou, on the other hand, is completely different. He doesn't need believers, so he can grow however he wants.

What's more, what follows is a fierce battle. These outdated old fogies will attack him without any sense of martial ethics. If he doesn't have more skills, he'll probably be in a lot of trouble.

However, things are different now. Jiang Shuzhou has plenty of manpower to deal with these old things.

bump!

While Tyr was still in shock at Jiang Shuzhou's transformation into this monstrous form, Jiang Shuzhou slapped him mercilessly, sending him flying.

"You got distracted while fighting me? Looks like you've never died before."
