The spear was no longer your plain and simple golden ice spear, but instead, now it was made with ice that seemed to hold the entire cosmos within it. Ice that held stars radiated with so much power that it felt like they could have annihilated the entire planet with a single flare of theirs.

The power that the spear held was almost as immeasurable as the deepness of space itself.

*BOOOOOM*

When the spear finally began to move, it immediately disappeared from its place with a flash of light be2fore turning into a streak of light and finally appearing right in front of the fist-force mean, ready to obliterate it with a single tap.

To everyone's surprise, however, the beam that everyone had thought to be insurmountable in strength, capable of destroying anyone who stood within its way immediately shattered as the spear shot through it without any resistance.

At the same time, a huge circular shockwave was sent out from either side, pushing away both beasts and humans alike.

*ROOOOOAAAR*

However, just when the humans had thought they were victorious, the gorilla moved back its first hand and put it near its hip area before moving its other arm forwards at lighting speed, covered with an even more ferocious and thick membrane of golden energy that had immediately shot out the moment the fist had reached the same place as the other fist was.

*BOOOOOOOOOM* The sound of impending doom came closer and closer.

As the golden beam met with the divine ice spear, it halted however, that did not last for long.

Even though the spear had the name astral in it, it was not nearly as strong as an astral attack, as one of those could probably eradicate a city as big as Aqua city with its simple shockwave.

*Crack*

Cracks had begun to appear all over the spear without stop, going from the tip of the spear to the butt of it, yet even though it persisted, that did not last for long

*SHATTER*

*BOOM!*

The moment the spear had shattered, it had released all the mana stored within it at full force, not holding a single speck of energy back as a supernova of energy erupted at the location both attacks had connected.

Everyone, including Xela, watched on with anticipation and nervousness. They did not know what was about to come or if the gorilla's attack has been stopped by the supernova of mana that had come forth from deep within the spear itself.

Yet, in the end, one thing was certain, and that was that Xela was exhausted while no one knew how many more of those attacks the gorilla could throw at them.

*SWOOSH*

Suddenly, out of the deep dust cloud, a huge golden beam of energy came out of it, simultaneously dispersing the rest of the dust cloud and allowing everyone to see everything.

Other than the golden beam of energy, they could see the gorilla standing there with a huge grin on its face as if it was saying that it had won and there would be nothing that the humans could do about it.

'Fuck!* Everyone thought at the same time as Clara quickly retracted her blessing and directed it towards someone else. Someone who was moving towards the beam of energy at an extremely quick pace.

At the same time, all the other teachers that had been with the students had begun to fight with the beasts to the death without stopping for a second to see the situation in the middle of the battlefield, yet when the shockwave hit, they were forced to peel their eyes off their opponents and finally look at the battle ensuing, causing them all to feel a mixture of fear and dread all at the same time.

*ROOOOOAR*

However, since they were fighting the other 7 overlords of this tide, they could jot look for long and went back to making sure that they wouldn't get an inch closer to the children.

Back in the middle of the battlefield, Throid had come out of nowhere, covered in a powerful ethereal silver armor made out of his soul energy.

This was one of his trump card battle arts that he had not used in years, but when the time came for him to use it, he was considered an unstoppable monster that limits did not apply to.

At the same time, a man covered in black armor wielding a katana covered in shadows swung it at full strength, clashing with the beam of light for a few seconds, holding it back from getting any closer to the camps or city with any means possible.

However, since there was not enough power behind the attack, they could not hold on for long and were immediately blasted away by the force behind the attack.

When the beam seemed to have finally reached Throid, he had swung down with all his might with both axes wielded towards the beam.

A powerful current of energy exploded out of him, yet he was not able to do anything but watch the beam send cracks throw his axes, crumbling them piece by piece.

After the ax had finally shattered, Throid, instead of retreating, began to use his hands instead, pushing against the blast with all the power he had left in his body, using every speck of mana and soul energy he had within his storages that he was even able to use.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH" Throid's voice thundered within the battlefield, as he pushed harder and harder, causing humans and beasts alike to look at him with newfound respect.

Eventually, however, he had gotten too tired and his armor had become on the brink of shatter, and even though everyone wanted to help him, they simply couldn't as they had either been thrown into different battles that they could not escape from or they were simply too tired to do anything.

'Is this the end?' Throid asked himself, closing his eyes to finally take his last breath before succumbing to the fact he would be obliterated.

*Swoosh*

However, right before the beam had almost hit him, his vision had blurred before blacking out, not allowing him to realize that he was being held in their air by his foot.

At the same time, the golden-fist-force had been swiped away in the blink of an eye, its energy disappearing as fast as it had appeared.

"That energy..." Xela could not help but mutter those words before looking up towards the sky to see the figure of a masked woman standing in thin air.

"Xela... My little girl... I'll give you this necklace, one of the most powerful heirlooms of the family for you to pass on to your children and them to pass on to their children" an old man with blond hair with a mixture of grey stretched his hand towards Xela, who was now a child no older than 5.

"Grandpa? What is this?" The girl took the necklace off the frail old hand filled with wrinkles and scars.

"This, little one, this is the necklace our family had been gifted by a God. It creates the energy they use. At the same time, it is made with a material that would cause it to react to any godly entity... So whenever it reacts to someone, make sure to get on your knees and pray, pray for them to not kill you on the spot" the old man's voice became more and more serious as he went on, until he finally stopped speaking.

In the same instance, he had stopped speaking, he had lifted his hand to his mouth weakly before coughing out splatters of blood.

"GRANDPA" 5-year-old Xela cried out.

"Do not worry my child." Slowly he moved his hand to pat her on the head with a weak smile stretching across his face.

"But grandpa! I don't want you to die! Please! Don't leave me!" Tears had begun to stream down her face like waterfalls.

"My child, I know you might be sad now, but there will be a day where you will meet someone you cherish more than me, someone you would put your life on the line for, someone you love with all your heart... So until then, survive! SURVIVE WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT, NO MATTER WHAT!" Her grandfather began to cough more and more until he was finally coughing mouthfuls of blood.

"Grandpa?"

...

"GRANDPA!"

Xela shook her head violently as if trying to get them out of her head with physical force.

At the same time, Alan had seemed to also realize something, making him look up while recalling something Xela had told him.

"A God?" He trembled under the enormous pressure descending from the sky.

It was not only him trembling but also everyone who knew of the energy that was in the necklace, yet this energy felt more tainted or even more bloodthirsty

As the figure looked down upon the trembling gorilla alongside all the other beasts who felt their instincts telling them to run, a bloodlust erupted out of it before a primordial voice that dropped an insurmountable pressure on everyone spoke out.

"What's wrong?" The deep and distorted voice asked with a tinge of mockery in its voice.

"Scared?"
