I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

An extremely angry voice echoed through the Steel Fortress.

Fred and his two companions, who had been forced into mid-air by the fire shockwave, frowned and focused their attention on the other side.

When they saw the newcomer's hair, which resembled leaping flames, and that he held a heavy hammer and an iron awl in his left and right hands respectively, a hint of panic appeared on the faces of the three men.

"God of Fire and Forging!!!"

Even among the gods, there are distinctions of rank.

Fred is merely a low-ranking god.

Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, is a mid-level god.

Barker, who also comprehended the laws of fire and became a god, was only a low-ranking god.

If one were to encounter the god of fire and the god of forging in the realm of gods, there would be no chance of victory.

Fred and his two companions were naturally no match for Hephaestus.

But now, they have all descended to the earth as "Godwalkers".

Their strength is all at the ninth level!

Although it was unwise to make an enemy of Hephaestus, the three of them made a surprisingly consistent choice at this moment.

That is to destroy Hephaestus's physical body.

The value of Pandora's Box was worth the risk.

"Attack together!"

Fred gritted his teeth and charged towards Hephaestus in the air.

Stab it!

A large number of pulsating arcs of electricity appeared on Fred's body, making his entire body resemble a human-shaped lightning bolt.

A faint, earthy yellow light appeared on Leopold's blade, then vanished instantly.

Gallagher's skin was covered in black magic runes. After letting out a furious roar, he suddenly appeared in front of Hephaestus.

The three are the gods of thunder, earth, and darkness.

Seeing this, Hephaestus raised the iron awl with his left hand and smashed it down with his iron hammer like lightning.

boom!

A purple fire dragon roared and charged toward the three of them.

boom!

Rumble!

All of their attacks were imbued with divine power; each strike was equivalent to a ninth-tier skill or magic attack.

Hephaestus protected the dwarves below while the three fought.

Even the residual power reduced the buildings below to ruins.

"You're all courting death!"

Upon seeing the Iron Fortress destroyed, Hephaestus unleashed his power, sending the three flying into the sky with three consecutive hammer blows.

Whoosh!

Hephaestus also transformed into a streak of light and gave chase.

Then, a series of huge roars came from the horizon.

Flames, lightning, meteorites, and a huge black shadow flashed incessantly on the horizon.

Meanwhile, the dwarves in Iron Fortress, while rescuing their suffering comrades, looked excitedly into the distance.

The one who came to their rescue this time was Hephaestus, the god most revered by most dwarves!

"Hephaestus?"

Anno, who had just emerged from his hiding place, looked at the commotion on the horizon and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Hephaestus's tone just now indicated that his physical form in the divine realm was clearly stronger than those three.

With Hephaestus around, Iron Fortress should be considered safe for the time being.

Hephaestus's first attack, using some unknown method, left the shadow at the center of the pillar of fire completely unharmed.

"Adelaide!"

Anno quickly ran to Adelaide and checked on her condition.

The injuries are severe; the patient has only one-fifth of their health remaining.

Anno quickly poured five bottles of Fountain of Life onto her wound.

The crimson flesh began to grow and wriggle, gradually filling the hole that had been punched and stopping the bleeding.

The only remaining option is for the dragons to gradually recover thanks to their powerful physiques.

It is estimated that it will take ten days to half a month to fully recover.

The weakened Adelaide opened her eyes and looked at Anno in front of her.

"Your condition has stabilized for now, get some rest."

After instructing Liz and Ella to take care of Adelaide here, Anno rode Sasser to begin helping to rescue the dwarves buried in the ruins of the city.

After an unknown amount of time, Anno and the others finally completed the rescue work.

But nearly a hundred dwarves still closed their eyes forever.

"That's already very good!"

Austin said through grief, "If it weren't for Lord Hephaestus protecting us during the battle, the casualties might have increased tenfold or even a hundredfold."

The aftershocks of a ninth-tier battle are truly terrifying.

Not to mention that these people are gods, possessing even stronger attack methods.

"This is bad! A group of sixth-tier demonic experts have arrived outside the city. They are extremely powerful, and we can't hold them off!"

A dwarf soldier ran into the plaza, his face filled with panic, and said to Kim and the others, "The city gate... the city gate has been breached!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Kim and the other two's expressions changed drastically.

Without saying a word, Anno led Sassiel and rushed towards the city gate.

......

A beam of light fell upon a dozen or so dwarf soldiers.

boom!

Amidst the flames, the dwarf soldiers were blasted into the air.

At the epicenter of the explosion, a dwarf soldier's body was torn to pieces, his armored limbs falling in front of the surrounding dwarf soldiers.

"Heavy armor soldiers, assemble! Assemble!"

The dwarf soldier captain roared in a hoarse voice at the dwarves beside him, "We must not let them into the city!"

"Roar~!"

Dozens of dwarf soldiers rushed up from the side, holding up large shields that were big enough to cover their bodies, forming a shield wall in front of them.

But the shield wall was breached the next moment, and more than a dozen dwarves were killed!

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of musket shots rang out.

The sixth-tier monsters at the forefront were immediately struck and their bodies were sprayed with blood.

One person, who was rather thin, had his arm, which was as thin as a bamboo pole, broken.

The dwarven musketeers instantly aroused the hatred of the sixth-tier monsters. A dozen or so agile sixth-tier monsters jumped into the midst of the heavily armored dwarves and began slaughtering the dwarven musketeers.

Near the damaged city gate, several Tier 6 [Walkers] exchanged glances as they watched their followers drive the defending dwarf soldiers into retreat.

"Split up, each person responsible for an area. Find that human summoner, and if any dwarves try to stop you, kill them, or use the dwarves' lives to force him out!"

"We're outnumbered, so we need to check carefully. We absolutely can't let them get away!"

When they arrived, they saw Fred and his two companions fighting Hephaestus from afar.

The three barely managed to fight Hephaestus to a draw; if any of them had broken away from the battle, the remaining two would likely have been killed.

So, taking advantage of the lull, Leopold informed the sixth-tier [Godwalker] who was rushing down below about Anno's situation, instructing the latter to capture him.

Just as the group was about to split up, a white figure suddenly rushed into the battlefield and knocked a sixth-tier Flame Demon Bull flying.

Then it was cleaved into pieces in mid-air by several sword lights!

Then, 320 summoned creatures suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

"Looks like we don't need to go looking anymore!"

One of the sixth-tier [Godwalkers] saw the black-armored knight land on the ground, drew a scimitar from his waist, and charged towards him.

"Sassil, the eight near the city gate are [Swift Walkers], the rest are ordinary Tier 6 monsters. You and the other summoned creatures try to hold them off."

Anno picked up the head of the Flame Demon Bull that he had severed, sacrificed its horns and soul, and summoned a new Tier 6 summon.

Then, one eye suddenly opened between Anno's eyebrows beneath the mask, the edge of the pupil glowing with golden light.

The moment their gazes fell upon the charging scimitar [Godwalker], the two appeared in the Evil King's Domain.
