Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 697 - 79: Emperor Setra’s Gift Giving

With the Starlight Sage's all-out attack, the Angel Legion's assault was momentarily stalled.

The next moment, a dense mesh of World Tree roots appeared beneath the formation of the Golden Pansy Domain army, intertwining and crisscrossing to form a vast network that directly transported the entire Golden Pansy Domain army.

The entire world darkened in an instant, as everyone, aided by the World Tree roots, moved forward rapidly.

Finally freed from that ghostly battlefield of the three races, Lin Rui took a deep breath and relaxed, smiling as he said, "We're finally safe, can we rest for a while now?"

As if to confirm Lin Rui's words, the dark world suddenly brightened, and a gigantic, withered, horrifying claw descended from the sky.

Faced with this enormous palm, countless soldiers were overwhelmed by the immense pressure, falling into panic and despair. It was like a rabbit encountering a ferocious giant dragon.

Lin Rui's entire body immediately tingled, his hairs standing on end.

The Starlight Sage furrowed his brows, as if facing a great enemy: "Clearly, it's not time to relax yet! The direction we're retreating in leads directly beneath Emperor Setra."

"No way?" Lin Rui's voice quivered, a physiological reaction born from the overpowering fear-inducing trait of Emperor Setra: "Did he deliberately wait here for us?"

The Starlight Sage's brows knitted tight, and as the terrifying giant claw loomed closer, he yelled, "Fate will decide life or death!"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Rui's eyes widened. You're telling me to leave it to fate now?

"If I could withstand Emperor Setra, would I need your help?"

But the Starlight Sage had no energy to spare on Lin Rui. He roared with all his might, his Spiritual Energy bursting forth like magma. With his vigorous deployment of energy, countless World Tree roots instantly stood erect, rigid like pillars, clashing directly with the withered giant claw full of deathly aura.

Lin Rui cursed inwardly, then activated his strategic trait: "Embrace of the Radiant Archangel!"

The next second, it was as if the solemn chanting from the Divine Kingdom echoed underground.

A massive phantom appeared behind Lin Rui. As the sacred light gradually condensed and took form, an incredibly beautiful, pure, noble projection of the Radiant Archangel appeared behind Lin Rui, extending her arms to embrace him from behind. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

As the warm and soft embrace was felt, an endless divine power surged within Lin Rui's body. Radiant golden light spread rapidly around him, sacredly enveloping all soldiers within the territory.

As the radiant golden light swept across, countless soldiers instantly activated the strongest trait of the territory [Princess's Blessing]. Numerous Sub-Invincible Shields erupted, their light even illuminating the darkness.

As the green Spiritual Energy clashed with the black death mist in the sky, terrifying energy vibrations shook both ground and underworld alike.

However, in just a moment, the green Spiritual Energy collapsed, and the dark mist pressed down like the collapse of heaven.

Audrey's exasperated voice soon rang out: "I'll kill you, you stubborn mule!"

Following the violent collision of Spiritual Energy, large swathes of World Tree roots withered, and the army atop the roots fell densely in droves.

After the horrifying, stunning collision of Spiritual Energy, that horrifying sense of oppression finally dissipated.

Lin Rui took a deep breath, asking, "How about now? Are we out of danger?"

The Starlight Sage hoarsely replied, "The World Tree roots' transport speed is very fast. Setra had only one chance to strike. We should be safe now."

Lin Rui turned to look at him and was immediately startled: "How did you end up looking like this?"

Ghostly appearance was no exaggeration; the handsome, sharp features of the Starlight Sage were completely gone, and the proud, elegant elven demeanor had been entirely wiped away. Now, half of him was charred black, with a withered, decaying face, and bluish-black veins exposed underneath cracked skin.

This is nothing like an Elven Great Sage. It's more like a half-dead, rotten monster, a half-zombie.

Lin Rui quickly touched his own face. Hopefully, I won't get disfigured; otherwise, how would I be able to conquer the snow-white bodies of Su Xi, Audrey, and the others? I might just get kicked off the bed!

After checking, Lin Rui took a deep breath. Thankfully, thankfully, I'm fine.

But suddenly, he recalled a more serious problem: I hope those peerless beauties in my territory won't get disfigured! Being neither human nor ghost, wouldn't they scare me to death at midnight?

If Audrey were to have a lifeless, dried-up body, a face as ghastly as a ghost, and then tried to sweet-talk me, I'd get goosebumps and wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

So, Lin Rui immediately looked outside. What he saw was akin to a ghostly realm.

The ground was densely covered with corpses, countless people had died tragically, and blood flowed everywhere.

Bodies lay strewn across the withered World Tree roots, turning this vibrant area into an undead cemetery.

But fortunately, the soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain were safe and sound, with only an exasperated Audrey, hands on her hips, pointing in the direction of Emperor Setra and stomping her feet in anger.

And as she did so, the intense aftershocks hit, making one's nose bleed, full of charm.

This fool upgraded to Tier Six, and her charm increased significantly. Her body became more alluring and seductive, but Lin Rui had yet to find time for various intimate exchanges with her.

Now looking at her, he felt a growing admiration, like looking at an ex-girlfriend, becoming even more captivating.

He couldn't help but want to pull her into a room immediately, to closely observe any changes, to experience the charm of a Tier Six charm system apostle.
