"A portal? A portal appearing out of nowhere! Is there an ambush?!"
Seeing this, the probationary members of the Black Swallow Corps were all filled with shock.
They weren't afraid of the beastmen or the Varen Empire's ambushers.
After all, with the seven official members of the Black Swallow Corps and dozens of probationary members present, these forces alone were enough to destroy the Varen Empire's main army more than ten times over.
But such a massive portal, appearing out of thin air without the use of any teleportation stones or items, was different.
It indicated that the person arriving possessed the power to manipulate space, similar to their one-eyed teacher, and that a truly terrifying entity was coming!
A colossal creature as tall as the city walls!
"Damn it, the Evil God returning at this moment is just too convenient!"
"Everyone, finish this quickly. No more playing around. Kill the enemies swiftly!"
One-Eye roared, then instantly appeared behind Tang Xueyao, his right hand slashing down fiercely at her back.
After all, there was a difference of two realms between them. Their speed, strength, and internal energy were vastly different.
Before Tang Xueyao could even react, she felt a powerful force strike her from behind.
"This is bad, I'm dead for sure!"
Tang Xueyao's pupils contracted, and then she heard a dull thud.
She was propelled forward a few steps by the immense force.
But... she was unharmed?!
She turned around and saw One-Eye, who looked equally bewildered.
It was important to remember that earlier, he had been merely playing with Tang Xueyao and sent her flying over a hundred meters.
And that last strike, he had used his full power.
Even if Tang Xueyao wasn't torn to shreds, she should have been sent flying a considerable distance, not just stumbled forward a few steps and ended it so simply.
"What did you do?!"
One-Eye asked, his voice filled with surprise and confusion.
"I... I didn't do anything!"
As Tang Xueyao spoke, a set of white metal seemed to come alive, rapidly crawling up her clothes to her shoulders, then her neck and head.
Soon, a suit of silver armor, reflecting strange light, was fully equipped onto Tang Xueyao.
"What kind of divine artifact is this, to be able to block an attack like mine!?"
One-Eye inquired.
"This isn't my armor, could it be..."
Tang Xueyao's eyes lit up, and she abruptly turned to look behind her.
However, at that moment, a figure had already appeared silently beside her.
As she turned her head, she almost bumped into the man behind her.
"Not bad, this armor suits you quite well!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile, reaching out to gently pinch Tang Xueyao's waist.
The armor around her waist immediately shifted from its hardened state to that of a soft, form-fitting garment.
"True God, you're back!"
"That's great, we've definitely won this battle!"
Tang Xueyao shouted excitedly.
She had wanted to give Zhang Chen a big hug, but considering it was a battlefield with so many eyes watching, she felt embarrassed.
She could only express her inner excitement through her loud shouts.
"Yes, I'm back. Don't worry, the outcome of this battle is already clear!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile, his gaze fixed on Tang Xueyao's lovely figure.
One-Eye, the leader of the Black Swallow Corps, was left aside, as if he were air.
At the same time, all the beastmen leaders, warriors, followers of the True God Church, and Deloris and her guards around them were covered in a layer of silver armor.
This armor could absorb energy and nullify most physical attacks.
It was practically invincible.
"This is Divine Iron Armor. I saw it in the Divine Realm before, and today I finally have the ability to wield this power."
"Once I absorb the crystals in the World Tower, I believe I will gain even greater abilities!"
Zhang Chen said, slowly raising his right hand.
A piece of silvery liquid metal in his palm transformed alternately into a transparent crystal cluster and then into silver metal, repeatedly shifting between multiple forms.
"The Evil God has appeared? Even better, I have a gift for you too!"
"Today is the day we settle this!"
"We will seal you again, and this time, you will never escape..."
Before One-Eye could finish speaking, he instantly vanished from his spot, sent flying hundreds of meters away. He crashed through two buildings before slowly falling towards the ground.
"What did you say? Sorry, I didn't quite catch that!"
Zhang Chen said, placing a hand to his ear in a feigned gesture.
