Sovereign of the Ashes

The sudden emergence of the flaming hands served as a stark demonstration to every creature in the wilderness of what it meant to face a top-tier pyro elemental expert.

Even the Rank Four and above Gorilla Gods felt their hearts skip a beat at the sight of these fiery hands.

And for those weaker creatures below Rank Four, the experience was even more terrifying!

These enormous hands were akin to a pair of scorching pyro-elemental suns that had suddenly materialized in the Wild Gorilla World’s sky.

The temperature of the surrounding space soared, and flames fell sporadically from the hands, creating a fiery rain.

Creak! Creeeeak!

Noises resembling metal gates being forcibly torn open were heard, caused by the flaming hands that had been relentlessly stretching the space-time rift wide.

It was as if a savage beast was attempting to force its way into this world.

The gathered Wild Gorilla World creatures in the wilderness froze, shocked by a sight beyond their comprehension.

However, the Rank Four and higher Gorilla Gods quickly realized that this was no ordinary phenomenon but an incredibly powerful foreign creature trying to breach the space-time rift and invade their homeplane.

These Gorilla Gods, typically known for their arrogance and violence, found themselves humbled.

In the presence of these enormous hands, radiating with the power of pyro elemental laws, even the two suns that dominated their sky seemed to dim.

The protective arrays crafted by the Wild Gorilla Clan, though formidable, paled in comparison to the sophisticated work of the Magus World mages.

In an instant, the owner of those hands managed to widen the hole in the sky.

While his entire body could not cross over immediately, the now-gaping rift was large enough for his head to pass through.

The appearance of this majestic, flaming head triggered a fierce reaction from the Rank Four and above Gorilla Gods.

Overwhelmed by the power of law radiating from the flaming head, even the unruliest of Wild Gorillas recognized the magnitude of the threat looming over their world.

Without a doubt, the entity with the flaming head was a formidable Rank Six creature that was even more powerful than the White Banisher Gorilla God of Wild Gorilla World.

The glimpse of another world through the space-time rift left every Gorilla God gathered near it sensing that the powerful Rank Six creature before them was not the only formidable being on the other side!

In fact, Siegel, the Rank Six Knight, had only managed to widen the rift quickly enough for his head to pass through with assistance from Feylis and others.

“Stop him!”

“Chase this foreign evil god away from our world!”

The guardian and the Rank Six White Banisher Gorilla God were the first to react, mobilizing the power of the laws to counter the intrusion.

One moment, the guardian was conversing with a young Rank Five Gorilla God; the next, it thrust its Greenwood Cane forward with fierce determination.

Empowered by the planar laws, this old Rank Five White Ape suddenly unleashed a burst of power that could threaten even Rank Six entities.

Moreover, being on its homeplane and enhanced by the power of guardian’s law, it could access a greater power from the planar will than a typical Gorilla God.

White Banisher Gorilla God hovered far above in the wilderness skies.

Despite their primitive and violent nature, the Wild Gorilla Clan—considered a type of humanoid intelligent species—possessed an ability to learn and adapt slightly superior to neighboring planes like Blue Violet Star and Feral Beast Star.

As one of the two Rank Six Gorilla Gods in this world, White Banisher Gorilla God owned a metal fortress spanning nearly seven kilometers in diameter.

This fortress was acquired from a neighboring technological civilization at the cost of a microplane and a low-level plane.

Of course, it paled in comparison to the scale and functionality of Magus World’s space fortresses.

From a distance, it looked impressive enough.

White Banisher Gorilla God, with his all-white fur, bore a striking resemblance to White Ape. Nevertheless, it was a real wild gorilla.

Its pure white fur and more defined features softened the usual impressions of savagery and violence associated with other Wild Gorillas.

The two Rank Six Gorilla Gods in the Wild Gorilla World represented wisdom and strength respectively.

The Rank Six Gorilla God emerging in its metal fortress clearly embodied “wisdom”.

Among all the Gorilla Gods, it was the only one that had heeded the guardian’s warning about the looming crisis.

Nevertheless, its wise appearance did not diminish its combat prowess in the slightest.

A pure silver-colored jade pillar descended from the sky. It was the chosen weapon of the White Banisher Gorilla God, enveloped in a strange white flame.

Despite the Magus World’s dismissive view of these beings as “foolish and ignorant native creatures”, their attainment of Rank Six spoke volumes of their strengths.

The White Banisher Gorilla God was no weakling among the other Rank Six creatures.

Once the White Banisher Gorilla God and the guardian made their moves, the twenty Gorilla Gods of Rank Four or above, already on standby, sprang into action—this was no time for spectating!

In Wild Gorilla World, solo fights were rare, reserved typically for instances of monopolizing resources, such as the incident involving the Fire Gorilla God and Feylis.

The Wild Gorillas typically leveraged their strength in numbers.

A torrential offensive erupted from twenty-two foreign gods, including the guardian, a Rank Six and three Rank Five Gorilla Gods.

Siegel had always prided himself on his robust constitution. Yet, upon thrusting his flaming head through the rift and witnessing such a formidable assembly, the Rank Six Knight felt his scalp crawl.

However, a retreat was not an immediate option.

He had already stuck his head through the rift, and his power of laws was already clashing with the planar laws of the Wild Gorilla World.

Moreover, three Rank Six mages from Magus World were supporting him from behind.

He had boasted of victory beforehand; now, he was committed to seeing it through.

The clash between more than twenty high-ranking beings was no doubt a magnificent spectacle seldom seen on most planes and battlefields.

Not just the Rank Four or higher Gorilla Gods but also the tens of millions of legions amassed in the wilderness of Wild Gorilla World unleashed a volley toward Siegel’s head in the sky.

With the support of their gods, these forces were bold enough to challenge even a Rank Seven overgod, let alone a Rank Six god.

However, their courage did not guarantee they would be able to injure a superior being.

The combined onslaught of laws from over twenty gods, coupled with the elemental tides unleashed by tens of millions of beings, destabilized the rift in the sky.

It resembled a blazing star in the sky, radiating heat.

The Rank Six Magus World knight weathered an overwhelming barrage of attacks and remained unyielding.

A fiery shield materialized above, punctuated by the muffled grunts and growls of the knight. Despite the intensity of the confrontation, he showed no signs of abandoning his effort to breach the spatial rift.

“Thirty minutes! If I can hold out in this plane for thirty minutes, it will buy enough time for Master Feylis to arrive!” Siegel’s determined shout echoed in his mind.

Among the key figures in the Wild Gorilla World War, Feylis was one of four Magus World Rank Six powerhouses with the strongest resilience aside from Siegel, thanks to her pioneering of the Verdant Flame Body Tempering technique.

Yet, Feylis was not about to be the first to charge into Wild Gorilla World. Given her status as a mage and a woman of elegance and dignity, it was even unlikely for her to be the second.

If Siegel did not feel compelled to assert his strength, the other three grand mages would not have exerted themselves to their limits.

“Come on!” Siegel’s roar echoed through the Wild Gorilla World and the Verdant Wilderness World beyond the space-time rift.

What impressed the Gorilla Gods was how this strange-looking Rank Six foreign evil god managed to squeeze his arm through the rift while withstanding their relentless attacks.

A majestic pyro elemental rain fell from the sky, as the Rank Six Magus World knight demonstrated to the native beings of this medium-sized world the extent of strength and passive evolution.
