The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Therefore, she subconsciously felt that the investigation team was likely encountering similar, or even bigger, troubles.

　She spoke up at this time because she had witnessed Dark kill the "divine body" firsthand, which gave her a greater sense of Dark's power. She felt that going with him might be helpful to the investigation team.

　Aquinita's thoughts are not hard to guess.

　Dark only went through it briefly in his mind before he guessed most of it. However, Aquinita was unaware that he would be unable to summon the [Demon God Abyss Walker] for the time being.

　At this point, venturing any further would be tantamount to suicide.

　However, if it really is Alvitt and the others in trouble, he will go no matter how dangerous it is ahead.

　But just as he made his decision and was about to speak, he suddenly sensed an undisguised and powerful aura rapidly approaching from afar.

　He suddenly raised his head, the "Bow of the Moon Goddess" already in his hand, and instantly drew the bowstring, pointing the "Arrow of the Moon Goddess" towards the exit at the other end of the hall.

　That powerful aura itself was not the source of the threat.

　In fact, he was very familiar with it and almost immediately determined that it came from Arvit.

　Judging from the behavior of that aura, Alvitt was either threatened, being chased, or chasing something.

　Regardless of the type, being prepared to shoot down "that thing" is never a bad idea.

　Behind him, the two maids and Aquinita also reacted one after another and immediately became fully alert.

　Then a whooshing sound was heard, and a beam of azure light suddenly rushed into the hall, transforming into a "birdman" with wings on its back and an angry bird beak.

　The "birdman" was radiating azure divine light, and its aura was no less powerful than that of the "divine body" from before.

　One can even sense a strange resemblance between it and that "divine body".

　"collapse!"

　Dark's eyes flashed with golden light, and he suddenly released the arrow from his hand. A moment later, the bowstring fell and the arrow flew, the moonlight dazzling. The "Arrow of the Moon Goddess" had already struck the "Birdman's" body.

　But the "birdman" was surrounded by a blue light, and in the blink of an eye, he knocked down the "Moon Goddess's Arrow".

　It seemed to only then notice Dark and the others at the other end of the hall's entrance. Its eyes widened in fury, revealing a vivid form completely different from its previous "divine body."

　But no matter how vivid the expression, a "corpse" is still a "corpse".

　Dac was not misled in his judgment.

　This bird-man, who disregarded the temple's rules and suddenly "flew" into the temple, was also a divine body controlled by a special consciousness.

　However, the consciousness attached to its body has a more profound and perfect control over it.

　Naturally, this also allows for greater utilization of the inherent divine power of this "divine body".

　Dark instantly became fully alert, and a certain magic card in his card pack quietly lit up.

　Only God can oppose God.

　At the moment when the fusion with [Demon God Abyss Walker] is broken, what he can summon now is a "lightning cloud" without any consciousness.

　But Raymond has been silent for a long time.

　As the thought crossed his mind, Dak suddenly saw another golden light rush into the hall. That golden light was so sharp that it created dark cracks in the space it passed through.

　As it suddenly approached, Dark immediately sensed an unprecedentedly intense emotional fluctuation emanating from the "birdman." Then, the "birdman" spread its wings and charged towards them, its intentions extremely clear.

　Dark immediately gave the order, and the three "Demon Kings" rushed out at the same time to stop the "Birdman".

　But the golden light that rushed into the hall suddenly accelerated in that instant. Its speed was already as fast as a beam of light, and after this further acceleration, it completely disappeared from sight.

　Just as the "birdman" was about to swoop down, it suddenly let out a scream as a golden light struck its back. Like a falling meteor, its entire body crashed heavily to the ground, its four limbs twitching and struggling.

　Only then did the golden light slowly dissipate, revealing a heroic figure clad in golden armor.

　With a swift throw of her spear, the "Valkyrie" pinned the "birdman" to the floor.

Chapter 1670 Alvit and the Divine Cloth (4k)

　The blue light around the "birdman" shone wildly, but he could never escape the control of the spear.

　With a raised eyebrow, Yalvit exerted force with her foot on the "birdman's" back, pulling out her spear in a flash. The moment the "birdman's" back arched backward, she thrust the spear in again.

　"Pfft!"

　The azure light that could have smeared away the "Arrow of the Moon" was utterly useless against this spear. A flash of golden light at the spear tip pierced through the numerous obstacles and easily penetrated again. But this spear was clearly "aimed" at; after the spear tip pierced through, a mournful cry suddenly came from within the "birdman's" body.

　Then the emotional fluctuations released from that body completely disappeared. In that instant.

　The blue light around the "birdman" dimmed, his divinity vanished, his divine power disappeared, and his limbs stopped moving.

　He had been transformed back into a corpse!

　"Capricorn's Golden Armor!"

　Dark's gaze was intense as he looked at the golden armor on Alvitt, his eyes burning with desire.

　Although both are "Golden Armor", the feeling of wearing Capricorn's "Golden Armor" on Alvita is completely different from that of others.

　Dark's understanding of the "Golden Armor" is quite detailed.

　Whether it's Ori or Angry, after putting on the "Golden Armor," the feeling they give off is all focused on the "Golden Armor" itself.

　However, for Alvita, the "Golden Armor" is merely an accessory, a tool to enhance and amplify her own power, rather than a divine artifact that directly grants her power.

　Even so, the existence of the "Golden Armor" is still highly coveted.

　Capricorn's "Golden Armor" is a full suit of armor. The helmet has antelope horns that are as sharp as blades, and the lower body, including the skirt armor, is made of fish scales, giving the impression that one can swim freely in water.

　In fact, it is indeed an amphibious weapon. The "Capricorn Gun" attached to the weapon has the ability to cleave through waves.

　The core ability of the "Capricorn Saint Armor" is "severing," and the secret technique "space severing" can even sever space itself!

　Each of these "golden armors" is comparable to a divine artifact.

　"No...no!"

　A golden light flashed in Dak's eyes, and he suddenly realized something.

　He stepped out of the protection of the "fairy barrier" and quickly walked towards Alvitt, who was not far away.

　With Ylvert present, he was noticeably "bolder".

　The two maids accompanying him and Aquinita behind him also relaxed.

　It was as if with the Duke present, they wouldn't be afraid even if the sky were to fall. And after the "birdman" turned back into a corpse, the hall finally fell completely silent.

　Only the sound of Dark's footsteps echoed faintly in the empty hall.

　"Baby, what brings you here?"

　Alvit removed her helmet, flicked it lightly, and her golden hair cascaded down like a golden waterfall, radiating divine light. She looked quite relaxed, without any of the "difficulty" she had just experienced in chasing and killing a [divine body].

　Clearly, this wasn't enough to be considered a "trouble" for her. And the "baby"...

　Dak blushed slightly, and it was only because there were no outsiders around that he was able to suppress his complaints.

　It was fine a couple of years ago, but now he's only a little over half a month away from his fifteenth birthday. In this world, he's basically an adult, so it's time to change the way he's called "baby"!

　Of course, the Valkyrie could not accept this suggestion. Her gaze shifted, and curiosity and joy appeared on her face. Then, ignoring the "birdman" at her feet, she walked towards Dark.

　Before he could be embraced, Dark stopped in his tracks and asked, "What's with that divine body?"

　Arvit stopped and said, "We were conducting experiments on the remains of several gods in this temple, and it seems that this triggered some kind of mechanism of the temple... Well, it's also possible that our actions went too far and awakened the temple's residual consciousness. The specific situation is still under investigation, but there is more than one such consciousness, so we cannot relax for the time being."

　After speaking, she turned and looked around the hall, her expression of doubt gradually deepening: "I remember there are still many ice statues remaining in this palace..."

　Dark said, "It's probably the temple's consciousness at work that caused those ice statues to suddenly come back to life. Also, a god's corpse suddenly appeared."

　"What does it look like?" asked Arvit.

　Dark briefly described the appearance of the "divine body." Alvie nodded and said, "Not far from here, there is indeed a similar-looking divine body sealed in an ice coffin. It seems to have been possessed and controlled by that kind of consciousness."

　Her gaze swept over the three "demon kings," and she understood immediately. She didn't ask Dark how he killed the "divine body."

　After comparing the information from both sides, Dark immediately realized that the "divine body" had been temporarily possessed, and it was indeed attracted by the aura of the "divine abomination".

　If he did not summon the "Demon God? Abyss Walker", then the temple's consciousness would most likely not forcibly possess the "divine body" and appear.

　Furthermore, he essentially believed that there was only one consciousness entity within this "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple." But now it seems there is indeed more than one, and they appear to be relatively independent, which is rather strange.

　However, this temple is already full of mystery, so a little more wouldn't hurt.

　What Dark was more concerned about was the "Golden Armor," or more precisely, the "Capricorn Golden Armor" worn by Alvit! He replied a couple more times, finally unable to resist asking, "Is this 'Golden Armor' stained with divine blood?"

　Upon hearing this, Arvit couldn't help but smile and asked, "How did you figure that out?"

　"Divinity," Dark said casually. He couldn't possibly tell Alvitt that he drew that idea from the concept of "God Cloths," could he?

　Arvit casually tossed him the golden spear, the "Capricorn Spear," for him to examine, then said, "You guessed right. I used divine blood to reforge this 'Golden Armor,' transforming it from a sacred artifact into a divine weapon."

　Dark took the Capricorn Spear and carefully observed and sensed it. Sure enough, he sensed the immense divinity hidden within the spear.

　He recalled his past experiences, and some clues in his mind suddenly connected into a line.

　He couldn't help but say, "So that's why Angrey was brought into the temple so urgently."

　Arvit smiled and nodded: "With the [Aquarius Gold Armor] in Angrey's hands, we had no choice but to let her fight despite her injuries."

　The Aquarius Gold Saint Armor is the purest water-type Saint Armor among the Gold Saint Armors, possessing healing abilities second only to the Aries Saint Armor.

　After discovering a "divine body" that was extremely compatible with the Capricorn Gold Armor, Alvit suddenly had a flash of inspiration and summoned her. In the end, she successfully revitalized the divine blood that had long been solidified in the "divine body," thus reforging the Capricorn Gold Armor into a divine artifact.

　Although her somewhat willful behavior following this "flash of inspiration" earned her a loud scolding from Claire, Claire chose to remain silent after ultimately succeeding.

　"So, the concept of a sage is truly incomprehensible."

　Claire Kate arrived shortly after with her investigation team, and looked at the motionless remains of the "birdman" lying on the ground with considerable dissatisfaction.

　The rest of the investigation team, including Virgo and Angeli, quickly came to Alvitt's side, looking at the young master with slight doubt.

　Dak then explained his purpose for coming.

　Are you invited to the tea party of the Twelve Heavenly Gods?

　Arvit disarmed himself, his expression serious.

　Claire also frowned, and stopped laughing and scolding.

　The sudden invitation from the twelve gods was not a good thing for them.

　Not to mention Alvitt, even Claire had no intention of becoming a "vassal" of the gods.

　The path of magic is long and arduous, but there is always a way.

　Moreover, given the current trend, if one can catch this wave, the probability of becoming a god of magic in the future is not small.

　The only difference is which one becomes a god.

　Claire wasn't particularly competitive. In fact, she hadn't even considered these divine things before learning about the "resurrection of the gods."

　Even now, she only feels that "becoming a god would be enough." After all, the Age of Gods is coming, and even if it's just for self-preservation, she has to find a way to become a god. Moreover, after becoming a god, age and lifespan will no longer be an issue, which is also her expectation.

　But that's all.

　Becoming a "vassal" of a god, even if it's merely accepting the god's "investment," is no different from being a "vassal" when the power disparity between the two sides is vast.

　This is just the same situation phrased differently.

　She's not a recent graduate; how could she possibly be swayed by such claims?

　therefore.

　She did not want to accept the invitation.

　"No need for further words, let's get out of here." But Arvitt said directly. The group then quickly returned the way they came.

　This invitation from the gods involved Alvitt, Claire, Vigo, Angry, and Aquinita, which meant that the main force of the investigation team had been transferred away, making it impossible for the investigation to continue under any circumstances.

　Alvit was clearly wary of the gods, so she did not open the invitation to check it inside the temple.

　It takes half an hour to return to the real world from this temple via the "safe path".

　It takes almost an hour to walk back from the entrance of the "divine kingdom" in the present world to the entrance of the temple.

　During the hour and a half, the group walked and talked, exchanging information. Dak shared the latest information he had gathered before coming, giving Alvette, Claire, and the others a fairly comprehensive understanding of the current situation.

　Meanwhile, Dak also gained a better understanding of their investigation inside the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple".
