At the arena when the people saw the giant ball that was filled with mana and blood, most of them started to panic. They could sense an immense power coming from that giant ball in the sky.
The mages felt some powerful force oppressing their control of mana. The warriors felt a heavy pressure descend upon them it was as if a mountain had come crashing down on them, even the mighty young dragons above the skies were restless and started roaring. The normal citizens were already on the ground unable to move some of them even fainted.
It was at this point in time the wives of the Emperor took action. Silika and Tsukiyomi erected a barrier that stopped the unknown aura from harming the people in the arena. Once the barrier was set up, the pressure on the people disappeared.
Tsukiko, Lara, and Henrietta were working on creating a teleportation circle to bring everyone to safety. Ashley and Hilda were coordinating with the guards to help the people who were unconscious.
Valdel and his own wives were going out to lead a group into the city to rescue the people that were still there. They needed to be quick as the battle could start at any moment now.
...
Alphonso looked at the giant ball in the sky and frowned. He sensed a familiar aura coming from that thing.
'Hmm, as I expected no world deity would dare fight Ren after he defeated the Goddess of Light, that would mean only those arrogant sh*tty New Gods will think they have a chance... I wonder if Ren is already strong enough to fight a New God?...'
...
Tsukiyomi and Silika who were managing the barrier looked at the giant orb and felt a familiar presence manifesting itself. They had slaughtered dozens of people with similar presences before.
"It's not a world deity, a True God is about to descend."
"Are you worried Silika?"
"A little..."
"Why?"
"Even if it's just a New God, not an old one, the power of a True God is always unpredictable. I'm sure that you know some of them could even go beyond the powers of the Old Gods."
"So are you saying Ren could lose?"
"... I always believe in Ren's victory."
"Kukuku, then stop showing such a face. I understand that you're feeling restless since you've already seen a past incarnation of himself fall from battle. I have seen him fall twice now and every time it happened I felt my heart being torn apart. Yet as someone who fell in love with him, surely you know that he and battle can never separate, the same as how death can never separate itself from battle. Isn't that right former Goddess of Death."
Tsukiyomi smiled mischievously which made Silika smile as well.
"Heh, you really are something... Yeah, you're right... As someone who fell in love with such a guy, I should've already been prepared. Well, it's not like I've not gained something with his current incarnation." Silika looked at her daughter who was talking to her siblings.
"Yeah, I have gained much as well... Still, it actually feels like something is coming, something way worse than all the other incarnations before." Tsukiyomi who was smiling suddenly frowned as she mumbled something to herself.
...
Numerous citizens have already been teleported to the far north to the old fortress of the Dwarves. On the other hand, the children of the Emperor didn't want to leave.
"I already said that you kids have no business staying here," Lara spoke her tone as cold as ice.
"But mother."
"But Auntie."
"Enough! I know how strong you kids are, but in the end, this isn't a fight that you should mess in. The best thing you could do is follow the citizens to the northern fortress and if an enemy comes, you should protect them."
...
While Lara was trying to convince her children, nieces, and nephews, Valdel had found the entrance to the secret base of the cultists. As he walked deeper within the hidden base, he suddenly saw some people running towards him. Valdel was about to get into a defensive position but then he recognized who these people were, they were some of the missing geniuses.
When the kidnapped geniuses saw Valdel their first reaction was to attack, but then one of them recognized Valdel and stopped the others.
"Sir Valdel! Please help the others!" The young genius quickly spoke.
"Calm down and tell me what happened."
The young man then told Valdel that they were being chased by powerful cultists and some of them stayed behind to give the others a chance to escape. As the young man told his story, his face was filled with desperation.
"Alright, you guys keep going straight from here, there are people just outside of this place that will guide you to the evacuations sites."
The young men and women nodded their heads, as they were about to leave the young man who spoke to Valdel stopped and looked at Valdel with tears in his eyes.
"Please Sir Valdel, I'm sorry that I was a coward and wasn't able to help, and I know I don't deserve to ask this but please save them."
"Don't worry, I promise I will." Valdel showed a confident smile as he dashed deeper into the enemy base.
...
As Valdel got deeper into the base he smelled the heavy scent of blood. When he got closer to where the smell was coming from what he saw had enraged him. There were dozens of bodies on the floor, several were that of cultists while the others were obviously those of the kidnapped geniuses. There was even one person who had died still standing protecting her comrades that were already dead behind her.
"You f*cking monsters!"
Valdel shouted as his killing intent filled the area. The cultists that were busy finishing off the young geniuses finally noticed the new arrival, and so did the young geniuses. Each side had different reactions. When the cultists saw Valdel they stopped attacking the young geniuses and tightened their formation.. On the other hand, the young geniuses started to cry as they darted towards Valdel.
