At this moment, Ash and Weiser had already retreated to the forest area.

They exchanged glances, Ash drew his sweet words and a hidden dagger, while Weiser transformed the Thousand Mechanism Technique Spirit, their Magic Power surging continually, forcing the Technique Spirits subdued by the Divine Beings to work!

Needless to say, once Ash suggested the idea of the Senluoians fleeing the foreign lands, the Divine Beings were determined to kill him. Weiser was in the same boat; though the Divine Beings wouldn't kill her, she would be imprisoned in the eighteenth layer of the Silent Spiral, destined to watch helplessly as Lord Zhan perishes and the world slips into the Despairing Purgatory, turning millions into green beasts enduring eternal torment—better to let doomsday come now!

No escape, no evasion.

Only battle!

The Heart Sword Technique Spirit, trembling under the guidance of sword-colored Magic Power, unleashed its power to the utmost. The Sword Shadow moved so swiftly it seemed to leap through light, leaving an ink mark slicing through space, instantly blackening its target!

Miracle·Heart Pen Doodle!

A variant of the Heart Pen Miracle, it's like doodling with an ink brush, completely erasing the space where the target resides!

On Weiser's shoulder, Fang Chan appeared. She formulated a complete attack plan in her mind, then activated Fang Chan's "Three-Second Cicada Chirp"!

Fang Chan's effect is simple: it shifts the target's state three seconds into the future to the present. This not only allows Weiser's future attacks to explode now but also greatly enhances Ash's attacks—if Ash inflicts damage within three seconds, the "Three-Second Cicada Chirp" shifts his damage to now!

Yuanchan's "Three-Second Cicada Retreat" can save lives, while Fang Chan's "Three-Second Cicada Chirp" can accumulate explosive power to the extreme, enough to alter combat power individually, and reverse the battlefield situation in teamwork!

And Ash and Weiser's target was naturally—the Fire Cat!

First, kill this Divine Being who could restrict the field; then Ash could go outside to call for reinforcements, rally the Senluo Mages to slaughter the gods and save the world! Even if the Senluo Mages aren't that brave, they could still execute the migration plan, moving populations to alleviate Lord Zhan's pressure, and as soon as Lord Zhan recovers from injuries and has free hands, the crisis could naturally be resolved.

The Fire Cat had almost no defenses at all, first obliterated by the accumulated explosion of "Three-Second Cicada Retreat", and then shattered by Ash's Heart Pen.

Even though the attack was nearly perfectly executed, Ash and Weiser's hearts sank—for after each shattering, the Fire Cat would quickly restore to its original state.

"Huh? Huh? Huh? How interesting." The Fire Cat walked out from the doodle; her injured parts overflowed with flames, reconstructing her body. In a blink, she restored to her full-spirited youthful girl appearance, even her clothes were restored: "I just poofed apart for a moment, hahaha!"

Ash, unconvinced, attacked the other two Divine Beings with his Heart Pen. The Blue Bird did not dodge, letting the Heart Sword pass through its body without any reaction; the Whitedove raised its staff, accurately tapping the flying Heart Sword, and Ash, with his Heart driving the sword, utterly couldn't match the Whitedove's staff!

A chill washed over the two mages' hearts—they believed the Divine Beings would be as easily destroyed as Technique Spirits, but now it wasn't even about destruction; the Divine Beings' defensive capabilities were even stronger than these mages, they couldn't break the defense!

"What to do?" Ash kept constructing ink mark trenches, but couldn't stop the Divine Beings from approaching, "Could it be that mages can't even harm Divine Beings?"

A determination flashed in Weiser's eyes: "If it really can't work…"

"Divine Beings are rule-based life forms, only rules can harm them, like other Divine Beings, or…"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the forest, causing the mages and Divine Beings to stop and look around for the uninvited guest.

"...rules that restrain them."

Behind the Fire Cat, a silhouette appeared. He wore a silver-black coat, a jazz hat, had a tall and slender figure, with thin lips and sharp eyebrows, wearing glasses, his appearance was soft yet handsome, a light smile on his lips, like a passing viper.

He reached out, placing a hand on the Fire Cat's shoulder. Curious, the Fire Cat looked back, but her body was already igniting with blazing flames, ready to burn through this strange mage in the next second.

"Against fire, use water."

Boom!

From beneath the Fire Cat, a clear spring suddenly burst forth, shooting through the Fire Cat directly. As the Whitedove and Blue Bird turned back to attack, the silver-black mage quickly retreated; though he hadn't unfolded Void Wings, his coat spread like bat wings, flying faster than Ash and them, retreating to a safe distance almost instantly.

"Good afternoon, you two." The silver-black mage took off his hat, and greeted them willingly: "I overheard your conversation by accident. Though I'm just a passerby, I'm willing to join you in battle to thwart the Divine Beings' evil plot."

This guy doesn't even bother to make up a reason?

A strong sense of absurdity surged in the hearts of Ash and Weiser, 'overheard your conversation by accident', 'a passerby'—this was the eighteenth layer of the Silent Spiral, who would stroll by here!

But perhaps for this reason, he didn't bother to make up, as Ash and Weiser were certainly disbelieving. Moreover, Ash and they couldn't possibly refuse this team-up invitation—facing three Divine Beings, an extra helper was always good, and what's more, this mysterious mage seemed to know the correct way to harm the Divine Beings!

"Be cautious of him." Ash said.

"Hmm, you too." Weiser nodded seriously.

Not only Weiser, even Ash felt no goodwill towards this stranger who had voluntarily decided to help them. Ash found it odd because he had always thought the best of people, yet this stranger gave him an unsettling déjà vu, making him instinctively reject believing this stranger.

Indeed, Ash suspected the stranger to be from the Four Pillars God Sect, but he knew all the strong figures of the sect, and Mercury Wooden Horse would utilize even a crazy Legendary Mage to the fullest. How could such a strong individual, capable of confronting the Divine Beings, be kept hidden?

At this time, the flushed away Fire Cat finally fell. Flames flared all over her body, evaporating the water, then she tugged on her skirt, her lips pouting enough to hang a kettle, appearing aggrieved and enraged, even stomping her foot fiercely.

"Ah ah ah—" she clenched her fists and shouted: "Fire Cat has become smaller!"

After being flushed with water, the Fire Cat regressed from a youthful girl of around twenty directly to a young girl of about ten! Clearly, using Water Magic against the Fire Cat could truly harm her core!

Ash's eyes brightened, no matter how cautious he remained, he couldn't help but feel grateful to the stranger at this moment, introducing himself: "Ash."

Weiser's mind raced, and she followed up: "Silver Lamp. I wonder which sect's bishop you are; I believe I can recognize all the strong figures of Senluo, yet I've never seen you…"

"It's natural you haven't heard of me. Unlike you two celebrities, I just traversed to Senluo shortly and still remain an obscure figure."

His lips curled up, "My name is Vishi."
