“System Alert: You have altered the surrounding environment. The death mist is gone, combat power of death creatures is reduced by 20%.”
and the
Boom!
From afar, within the towering divine temple, a surge of dark energy erupted toward the sky.
The God of Death had arrived.
“Who dares? Are these the remaining gods still clinging to life? Do you want to die?” The spiritual presence of Mortis, the God of Death, radiated outward.
Outside the temple, countless bone dragons took to the air. Evil liches appeared in formation, and rows of the departed fixed their gaze on Joanna, ready to curse and kill her at any moment.
The terrifying pressure of a mythical being swept over her.
Yet Joanna didn’t feel particularly threatened.
Not only had her own attributes grown immensely, but Alwyn carried a leader’s presence, and her own mental fortitude could withstand the divine oppression.
Mortis swung his skeletal hand, and a storm of attacks rained down.
But in the next instant, she shrank from the massive hamster she had become to the size of a tiny speck, causing every attack to miss.
At that moment, a divine aura descended.
“Mortis, so after all these years, you’ve been hiding here. At last, we have found you!”
A Fire God appeared. It was the statue from the town that had manifested.
Ennis.
“Mortis, your time is up. The outer realm gods are human too; they can aid me in destroying you, you corpse-bound fool.”
Another deity appeared.
She was clad in deep blue robes, with equally deep blue hair and divine features. It was Gavy, the Water Goddess.
They were the only two native gods on the continent,

Joanna had only planned to confront the God of Death herself, maybe call in backup if needed. She hadn’t expected the local gods to intervene.
It seemed that she could win this battle.
But soon, she was proven wrong.
Mortis unleashed ghost fire.
When Joanna had first entered Deadwhisper Continent, she’d been attacked by a skeleton whose death had triggered ghost fire, scorching her.
Now, Mortis’ Mythic-Tier ghost fire made her scream in pain instantly.
“Ah!”
Joanna immediately activated Reversal Modifier, rewinding her body to the state before being
hit.
At the same time, she transformed back into her massive hamster form.
To avoid being a target, she shrank into a 65-foot pseudo-mythic-tier state, matching the God of Death in size.
But more ghost fire kept coming.
This was a Law-Tier power.
Alwyn’s Law-Tier abilities could resist ordinary fire, but this was ghost fire, a direct assault on the soul.
None of her eight contract beasts had defenses against it.
She took heavy damage.
The scorching pain twisted her very soul.
Even though Reversal could restore her body, the mental agony persisted.
The native Fire God Ennis and Water Goddess Gavy immediately acted, using fire and water to counter the flames.
Gavy even protected Joanna directly, her Law-Tier water abilities fending off the ghost fire’s corruption.
Together, the three could only defend passively against Mortis, steadily losing ground.

Joanna summoned her Myriad Form Array.
But Mortis commanded a million-strong undead legion.
Even with Celestial Gaze, Stellar Tempest, Punishment of Destruction, and the Anti-Magic Field, which could harm Mortis, calculations showed Joanna would likely die first, as her Reversal had a cool-down.
This fight, if continued, would end in her defeat.
Mortis wasn’t as strong as Broodmother Nyssara, but his intelligence was immense.
Moreover, Nyssara had activated thirteen gods at once, whereas now, only Joanna as a demi- god and the two native gods fought-three against one.
Even these two natives had limited combat strength.
The Fire God had split his rule into fire seeds to protect the human town, weakening his fire- based attacks.
The battle reached a stalemate.
“Summoner, you leave first. We’ll hold Mortis. I know you have a way to defeat him! We’ve fought him for a long time and won’t die easily. Only if you retreat can we pull back!” Gavy said urgently.
She knew the danger.
Joanna knew too, and if they continued, defeat was inevitable.
“Fine! I’m going. Take these with you. Let’s stay in contact!”
She handed over a signal booster and a communicator.
The two gods accepted them, and Joanna used Astral Step to leave Deadwhisper Continent.
Entering required a spatial rift, but leaving was straightforward since the coordinates were set.
She returned to Gold Fortress.
The co-battle fusion ended. Her eight contract beasts were released, pale from the lingering effects of soul burn.
The soul-burning damage hadn’t just hurt Joanna, but it had affected them too.
