Seeing the man fly away Elijah turned to Heracles, asking."Who was that?""No idea." Heracles shrugged his shoulders, he didn"t remember have seen that man before. Then he stared at the ground and saw a small white badge. Grabbing Elijah"s shoulder he said. "Look, it looks like he left his badge here."
"Then you can take it." Elijah didn"t really care much about a single badge like this. His eyes closed for a second before it opened.
"There are a group heading over here. They are too close to each other, so I can"t say how many there are." Elijah searched his own body before taking out his phone. He open the spatial storage and picked a dozen radiant crystal poles.
"What?"
"Just do what I say, I"m setting up a formation." Hearing what Elijah said, he suddenly understood. If there is the need for a formation, the incoming group must have more than one celestial. With a burst of power, his body grew by a few times before compressing down to his original size. However the pure strength flowing in his body was not lower than Elijah himself when he used Thurisaz.
Burying the twelve crystal poles on the locations given to him by Elijah, the later moved his fingers forming a dozen hand seals per second. With the movements of his hand, energy lines extended from underground, connecting all the poles together. The formation was set and he could activate it anytime, but he had to wait the group to arrive before seeing if they are enemies or allies.
Far away, Elijah could see a group of eight people walking over. It was because of the black badge in their hands and the reaction from his own badge that a.s.sured him those people were not enemies. At the forefront he saw two females wearing "Ruler" badges which means they were from the seven princes. From this position, they had already noticed his presence and approached.
Elijah and Heracles rose their hands holding the black badges, the two females stared at him for a second before the first one, a young lady with a wheat-colored hair rose her voice in a question.
"Sixth prince?"
"Third Princess?"
They stared at each other and Elijah sighed, It seems he won"t have to use the formation. Walking away from the open field they gathered in a circle. From the people gathered here only Elijah, the third and the fourth princess there was no other ruler. Those others were just eighth realm cultivators with "soldier" badges. Their breaths were ragged and all of them looked really tired. Elijah walked to the corner with Ninia when she told him what happened.
"We"ve being chased by an squadron of twenty. With all of them being higher G.o.ds, all of them has the same power which made it a bit hard to protect the weaker ones. A thousand people below the sixth realm all died while only a half of the eight realm cultivators survived." The moment they sp.a.w.ned on the land, they searched for a while before those twenty minor G.o.ds suddenly appeared. None of them are truly strong, only at the level of a ninth realm divine beast.
Yet the twenty of them had really strange abilities. They could combine their senses, thus sharing each others vision, hearing and thoughts. However the worst was that each of them could manipule the flux of the laws of time, being able to accelerate the time of a specific place at will as well as making it slower too. From what he heard from her, Chronos had released his original body and is part of the twenty.
When Elijah heard it, his face looked grim before he showed a dark smile. Time acceleration and slowing time are common abilities for those who train in the laws of time. Even Elijah could also accelerate time if he focus on it, the problem was the range and control. It was easier to make the night fall faster than acceleration the a single arrow and that was because of the concentration required to only change the flow of time in a really small area. It required amazing control to change a single point while leaving the rest unchanged like pulling a single card out of a castle of cards without letting the castle fall.
Elijah thought of something, he took a "How many minutes we have until they are here."
"At least five." Ninia was uncertain about what he was going to do when he shoved dozens of wasted artifacts out of his spatial storage. Those were some of the artifacts he gathered in past few years, a few damaged origin artifacts could be seen in pile of weapon there.
"I suggest you take everyone far away from here. When the show start those who stay here other than me will surely die." Elijah warned her before throwing more artifacting at the hole. Closing his eyes, the residual energy inside all those old and damaged artifacts. Seeing the awakening energy, Elijah couted he had about five minutes left.
Ninia and the others were standing far away in a small hill, seeing the twenty G.o.ds approaching Elijah"s position when the later suddenly rushed at the enemies when he was supposed to run away. Those G.o.ds were true powerful, his group would surely die if they faced each other on ground. Then Elijah stared at the hundred meters tall middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
"h.e.l.lo Chronos, this lord here was looking for you. Void World Formation, Activate!" Chronos heard Elijah"s voice and the ground around him erupted as the large formation spread turning everything into nothing. All the twenty G.o.ds saw everything changed into nothingness. This was the Void World Formation, something Yawen created years ago.
Being a separate ent.i.ty, she could not use the void laws like before, thus she condensed all her insights in a spells and formations. For example the Void World Formation would stuck anyone below the realm of a Imperial G.o.d in a void realm similar to the dark world she was sealed for countless thousands of years.
