There was no chance to run right now.
He could only stake it all.
Taking her down with him would be fine!
He had a determined look as he launched Night Beheading once again!
At this time, a few kilometers north of them, a girl carrying three swords suddenly came to a stop.
A strange light flickered in her eyes as she drew a glittering purple sword and vanished into thin air!
…
The sky depicted the scene of Dark Phoenix escaping Marvin’s torture.
The frightening Necromancer Monarch’s interruption left many feeling distraught.
All of those who could understand the situation felt sorry for Marvin’s group after that last-minute failure.
The four totems and a battle formation of more than ten Legends weren’t able to stop the ascension of Dark Phoenix.
Then how powerful could a real God be?
Many people could feel despair creeping into their hearts.
They glanced at Dark Phoenix’s cold face and domineering attitude and they felt compelled to acknowledge her strength.
It seemed like there was a voice in their minds constantly whispering, “Swear allegiance.”
“Resisting is meaningless. Gods are almighty. Mortals can only worship them and gain blessings and redemption.”
Many people with weak willpower were once again about to lower their heads to Dark Phoenix.
But much to their surprise, a sharp sword suddenly pierced through Dark Phoenix’s chest.
A girl full of resolve appeared behind Dark Phoenix out of nowhere.
She had two swords on her back and was holding another one in her hand.
It was that brightly glittering purple sword… It managed to pierce Dark Phoenix’s heart from a few kilometers away!
Marvin’s Night Beheading hadn’t even landed.
Dark Phoenix’s eyes were wide open with shock. She didn’t even know what happened and was killed yet again!
…
Marvin was also startled.
He only saw a purple light, and then Dark Phoenix lost her life with a sword through her chest.
Her body once again hovered away as her Divine Source restored it.
Marvin instinctively rushed closer to the newcomer.
This girl’s hair was light brown with some slight shades of purple. Five cuffed servants appeared noiselessly behind her.
“Eve?”
Marvin called out to the girl.
Surprise filled her eyes.
How could that man know her name?
But this was a battlefield, after all, so she couldn’t ponder this or take the time to get acquainted.
Dark Phoenix was regenerating.
“We will never see the end of it,” Marvin muttered in annoyance as he activated Night Boundary and rushed to the place where Dark Phoenix was resurrecting!

Even though the power of the four totems boundary was already weakened and couldn’t completely seal Dark Phoenix’s Divine Power now, Eve’s intervention managed to catch Dark Phoenix off guard while giving Marvin a chance to catch his breath.
He accurately grasped this chance and once again, killed Dark Phoenix just as her body reconstructed!
His daggers danced crazily and Dark Phoenix let out a miserable howl as golden blood flew out!
She had now died no less than thirty-three times, and out of those, thirty-two had been caused by Marvin and the last one was due to the Valkyrie, Eve.
And after the last death, the Divine Source in Dark Phoenix’s body began weakening at an easily noticeable speed!
“Seal her one more time!” Ding loudly shouted, “That woman can’t resurrect anymore!”
With Ding’s prompt, the Legends went all-out.
Glorious Wind danced among the red-clothed skeletons, sweeping away a large number of the Corpse Servants.
O’Brien and Inheim also used their own methods to hinder the enemies and give Marvin space to attack!
Even Dryad Chloe and Volcano Giant Woodhead, who couldn’t support themselves anymore, used their last bit of strength to try to restabilize the boundary.
At that second, Dark Phoenix’s Divine Source flared up, as if trying to catch a second wind.
Marvin’s gaze was stern as he shouted, “One more time!”
As long as he landed one more attack, he would be able to completely erase Dark Phoenix from this world!
His already sore arms regained their strength and he focused hard to predict where Dark Phoenix would be reborn!
The boundary made by the four totems was truly a lot weaker now.
Though she was on her last legs, this time, Dark Phoenix was clearly able to mobilize her remaining power much more easily! Her body was reforming very close to the edge of the boundary!
There, the effect was a lot weaker!
Clearly, she was worried enough about her Divine Source being extinguished to be willing to suspend her ascension for now!
She wanted to escape!
With victory just around the corner, everyone was frantic and desperate.
But Marvin forced himself to stay calm.
He knew that the closer he got to the end goal, the more cautious he needed to be.
It would be an immense shame if he let Dark Phoenix escape after everything that they had accomplished.
She would only need to find a place to hide and slowly accumulate Divine Source all over again before eventually taking another opportunity to rise up!
Marvin would definitely not allow this to happen!
Dark Phoenix had forced Hathaway to seal herself on the Black Coral Islands and then sent an army to attack White River Valley. She and Marvin were mortal enemies.
He would kill her even if it wasn’t to protect Feinan.
In an instant, Marvin scrunched his brows and focused his mind… his daggers started to shiver a bit as a sharp sound came from them.
This was a sign that his Desperation Blade Technique Style was reaching a certain state.
…
Feinan, at the second layer of the Universe Magic Pool.
Everyone made sure to pay some attention to the battle in the suburbs of Steel City.
This battle kept having so many reversals and really left them feeling dazed.
First, Marvin’s attack failed and he was sealed in the Astral Plane. Then, many Legends arrived as reinforcements and Marvin miraculously returned, landing a killing blow on Dark Phoenix. Shortly after, the Necromancer Monarch appeared and Dark Phoenix seemed to regain her momentum. Lastly, Eve arrived. Would the back-and-forth never cease?
Nobody there had heard of the name of the North’s Valkyrie.
This girl with short brown hair had a unique and resolute character. Although she was a young girl, she was just like the holy sword in her hand, sharp and unstoppable!
If Jessica could be considered fierce and domineering, then Eve was sharp and unstoppable.
She was like a peerlessly sharp blade and she pierced Dark Phoenix’s heart, triggering the crucial 32nd resurrection and changing the situation.
Now, Dark Phoenix had resurrected thirty-three times.
She only had a total of thirty-three resurrections.
So her 34th life was her last. She couldn’t afford to die anymore.
If she died, her Divine Source would be completely extinguished and her Divinity shattered. After all, she still hadn’t successfully ascended!
Dying during the ascension ritual would result in the destruction of the soul, dissolving into the plane with nothing remaining.
Dark Phoenix and the Necromancer Monarch were clear about what would happen.
The former exhausted all her Divine Power to make sure the location of her final rebirth was as far as possible from the center of the boundary. And the latter also didn’t care abo
ut the expenditure and summoned a large group of special Corpse Servants to crazily consume the power of the totems.
By this point, it was clear that Dark Phoenix’s ascension ritual had failed. She could only escape and bide her time to retaliate!
Whether she would survive or die depended on Marvin’s next move!
If he succeeded, then it would be the end of the Great Calamity’s first big crisis!
It would let the Gods know that Feinan wasn’t just a juicy piece of meat they could divide as they wished.
Mankind and the other races weren’t going to just foolishly worship them.
Facing the unreasonable disaster, the Gods’ so-called trial, the people of Feinan would resist!
If he failed… everything would become very difficult.
If Dark Phoenix could endure patiently as she had before, it would be a war of attrition between them and it would be very difficult to get another chance to finish her off!
Even if she didn’t attain Godhood, she was this world’s most powerful Legend Wizard.
This was unquestionable.
In fact, if she hadn’t taken such a big risk in hopes of catapulting herself into one of the most powerful Godhoods, Marvin and the others almost certainly wouldn’t have had a chance to kill her!
Thus, this last exchange would decide the course of the situation in Feinan for the next half a year or so!
Everyone focused on Marvin!
…
At this time, Marvin’s eyes and mind were completely locked onto Dark Phoenix’s soul mark.
This was a mysterious feeling, and even the interface didn’t reflect it.
He once heard about this special state when Kangen was teaching him the Blade Technique Style.
Desperation Style was a very formidable achievement of the Martial Path, and when coordinated with the [Azure Leaf]s, it would burst with frightening power.
Marvin was wholeheartedly focused and felt like his senses were working on overdrive.
Time seemed to come to a stop as he focused on that Divine Source slowly mending the wounds in Dark Phoenix’s body.
Right then, he stopped frowning in concentration…
Now!
He judged it perfectly, and right at the split second when he made his move, Dark Phoenix also finished reviving!
Marvin’s silhouette was behind her!
At that moment, she was just regaining her consciousness.
Some of those watching already started to feel sorry for Dark Phoenix.
Among the Gods, some were rejoicing in her misfortune.
They didn’t expect that Dark Phoenix would be killed while ascending in Feinan!
But the second Marvin made his move, a cold shadow became visible behind him.
A long chain instantly wrapped around Marvin’s ankle and pulled him back!

A strong force pulled Marvin back!
Marvin’s heart was burning! Just as he was about to finally finish off Dark Phoenix, he was thwarted!
Who was it?!
He turned to look and froze.
It was actually one of the five masked and cuffed servants!
What the fuck did they want?
Even Eve seemed puzzled.
The servant holding the chain haughtily declared, “Only the Valkyrie’s successor is worthy of killing a God.”
“Miss Eve, please quickly end Dark Phoenix’s life.”
“These others simply don’t have the qualifications.”
Marvin burst with anger!
He didn’t have much contact with the Valkyrie in the past and he didn’t know much about her people, but he hadn’t expected that something so absurd would happen at such a crucial time.
Was that guy freaking deranged?
Marvin didn’t say anything and just slashed down, severing the chain.
But he had already lost the best opportunity.
Dark Phoenix had already resurrected!
…
Let alone Marvin, even the others who saw this were stunned.
Could it be that the girl was not here to help? Why would her subordinate suddenly stop Marvin from killing Dark Phoenix?
After hearing his reason, the Legends who had been trying so hard to kill Dark Phoenix felt that it was even more ridiculous!
Valkyrie?
Qualifications?
Why would they need to be qualified to kill a God?
Eve herself was hesitating and was about to say something, but Jessica suddenly went berserk!
She suddenly disappeared from her location and burst out with Fate Power, punching that masked servant!
Before the latter even made a sound, he was sent flying into the woods, knocking down many trees!
“Hey, Girl, you need to manage your subordinates better!” Jessica snarled while unhappily glaring at Eve.
Eve’s embarrassed expression suddenly changed, as she snapped back, “What did you say?”
“Could it be that you are working together with Dark Phoenix?” Jessica shouted.
Eve tightened her grip on the sword and slashed down. “My people don’t need you telling them what to do!”
Thus, while everyone was left flabbergasted, these two powerful women started fighting then and there!
Marvin was extremely angry and exasperated at them.
The fight between the Fate Sorceress of Power and the Holy Swords Valkyrie should be quite even and could possibly last for entire days.
But the thing was that although they didn’t like each other in the game, they weren’t enemies either!
Even if you have issues with each other, do you really need to take care of it now?
Dark Phoenix is at her last life, how about we kill her first and deal with the rest later?
All this happened in mere moments.
But it was already enough for Dark Phoenix.
With Jessica leaving her totem, the boundary immediately collapsed under the attacks of the Necromancer Monarch.
Dark Phoenix recovered her freedom!
Marvin wished he could have some time to ruthlessly scold these two idiots.
With their tyrannical strength, not many people on the continent could boss them around. Although Marvin was a Ruler of the Night, he was also a newly advanced Legend and was far from being able to contend with them.
“Dark Phoenix is fleeing!” Ding shouted.
As it turned out, the two women were still rational enough to break off their fight and rush over.
Sure enough, after the four totems boundary collapsed, Dark Phoenix began using Teleportation Doors.
With a series of Teleportation Doors, Dark Phoenix escaped a kilometer away from the battlefield!
“We can’t let her escape!” The servant who had been punched away by Jessica had returned at some point.
Strange chains flew out simultaneously from all the servants’ hands!
This time, the chains didn’t seem to be the same kind used to snare Marvin. The material looked different, with some translucent luster!
The chains went through the void and bound Dark Phoenix’s body despite her being a kilometer away.
“Miss, please do it now,” the five servants said respectfully.
The Goddess of Magic bellowed angrily. She used more than a dozen Divine Spells and was still unable to escape or break the chains!
It could only be seen from the servants’ shuddering bodies how much of a toll it was taking on them to restrain Dark Phoenix.
Eve drew her sword and rushed over.
Jessica snorted coldly, unwillingness flashing through her eyes.
Her Fate Power flickered and Marvin nervously held her back.
It didn’t matter to him who killed Dark Phoenix.
As long as she died today, it would be all good.
This was the most basic rule of the joint Legend battle.
>
Although Eve’s servant broke that rule, Marvin hoped that no further issues would arise.
He’d have no problem with letting Eve kill Dark Phoenix.
But just to make sure, Marvin went into the Shadow Realm and quickly approached Dark Phoenix, considering how many things had gone wrong already.
If Eve failed, he would be able to provide help.
Sure enough, just as Marvin had feared, something went awry. Although Eve’s silhouette was as fast as lightning and the holy sword was about to extinguish Dark Phoenix’s last life, a deep Dragon roar suddenly burst out!
“Hehehe… Tidomas, you came late,” the Necromancer Monarch chuckled gleefully.
Tidomas’ huge Dragon Head appeared out of nowhere and bit the chains, allowing Dark Phoenix to use a Substitution spell to avoid Eve’s killing blow!
The five masked servants puked blood!
Dark Phoenix took the opportunity to continue fleeing.
In the sky, a door slowly opened and Tidomas’ laughter began to echo through Steel City’s southern suburbs. “Get ready to welcome the Evil Spirits’ celebratory feast!”
“Feinan’s Pigs!”
Meanwhile, Dark Phoenix pulled out a flying carpet and escaped on it!
…
It was a last-minute failure!
Everyone’s hearts were filled with frustration!
They actually let Dark Phoenix escape after being so close.
Now, Tidomas led the Evil Spirit army to descend and they couldn’t even consider trying to catch Dark Phoenix anymore. Rather, they had to focus on self-preservation.
“Dark Phoenix is gone.”
Jessica glared fumingly at Eve.
The latter expressionlessly muttered, “You want to fight?”
“Fuck you!” Jessica was extremely angry. Shortly after, she repurposed her anger and she burst toward Tidomas with her Fate Power flaring out!
Eve snorted coldly and also lifted her holy sword to attack.
Before going, she gave the arrogant servant that had interfered a dissatisfied glance.
The wails of Evil Spirits and the sounds of Corpse Servants spread across Steel City.
In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed that Marvin wasn’t there.
…
Dark Phoenix fled like a fugitive through the boundless sky.
She had never been in such a pitiful state before. If not for the timely help from the Necromancer Monarch and Tidomas, she would have died!
