Everyone on the battlefield saw the enormous silver and purple sphere that covered the battlefield where Satan was. They also saw the sea of corpses after that sphere was gone. Only Satan remained standing in that place. The devil was laughing madly, savoring what he had done.
Everyone's morale dropped a couple of notches after seeing that. How could they win against such a being?
"John, we need to retreat!" Four Winds sent John a message. He was spared from Satan's Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction because his guild was assigned to hold a different devil. His guild was not having a good time, though.
In the mobile fortress, Horatio also expressed the same sentiment. "Royal Advisor John, we need to pull back. If you are unwilling, I will pull my force back. I can't let them lose their lives needlessly. We need to retreat and reassess our situation."
John didn't object. These six devils were just too strong. Any formations and tactical movements were useless when the power gap was this wide. Even Mammon, whom they were targeting, still had more than eighty percent HP. At this rate, they would run out of troops first before they could take out Mammon.
When John was about to send the retreat command, he heard Thelgrun say, "Hey, who is that woman?"
The dwarf president was looking over from the parapet with Wilted. John looked at his map projection and saw a single green dot moving toward the red dot that represented Satan. John zoomed in and clicked on the green dot to extract its information.
"Quiet…?" He uttered after reading the name represented by that green dot.
*
Quiet walked along a field filled with still corpses. Her steps were neither slow nor hurried. It was as if she was simply strolling.
Satan was aware of the woman walking toward him. He just stood there and waited for her to arrive. Like the others, he also wondered what this single outworlder attempted by coming to him. Perhaps she wanted to beg him to spare her life? The thought amused him.
When the woman arrived, Satan noticed that he couldn't sense her. He didn't think much about it. He just attributed it to her being too weak and her mana too thin. He just stared at her in silence. He was expecting her to start groveling anytime now.
Instead, the words that came out of her mouth were the opposite, "Satan, please take your brothers and go. You have caused enough damage."
Satan at first thought he had heard wrong. He was about to ask the woman to repeat when he decided, why bother? He picked up the flaming hammer next to him and in one swift motion swung the giant hammer down at the woman.
When he expected to feel the impact of his hammer slamming into the ground and flattening the woman, his hammer was halted instead.
"Hm…?!" Satan looked down.
The woman had lifted her hand. His hammer floated an inch above her hand, unable to move forward as if an invisible was wall there.
"What…?"
He was still dumbfounded by the situation when the air underneath his hammer exploded. He was thrown backward by the explosion. At the same time, green waves washed over the battlefield. This green wave pushed the devils away gently. Players and natives were unaffected by the wave.
Even Leviathan who was as heavy as a mountain couldn't resist the wave. While he was being pushed back, he burped and was forced to open his mouth. As he did, he vomited all the ones he had swallowed earlier. The mass of people fell to the ground. Most of them were already dead. They received continuous damage when they were inside Leviathan's stomach.
Quiet floated up from the ground. A green aura enveloped her. As she did, she changed into another person. Her short green hair turned longer. Her face and her outfit transformed.
"I will be damned…," John said.
Wilted was also surprised to see the person Quiet turned into.
"My Goddess…!" Captain Whitebeard exclaimed from the mobile fortress.
The person Quiet transformed into was Goddess of Serenity. A long green wall formed after the six devils were pushed back. This wall separated the devils from the Allied forces.
Serenity lifted her hand again. This time, spell formation appeared. The spell formation was extremely large and it had nine runes.
"Nine… Nine rune mega spell…?" Those who saw couldn't help but be amazed.
The nine runes weren't formed one by one as when a spellcaster normally cast a spell. The nine runes just formed instantly, all at once. It was no different than the spell being instant cast.
Above the completed spell formation, the image of a colossal tree appeared. The tree was entirely green. Its crown was so large that it covered the entire battlefield.
"The restoration of the world…," Wilted uttered the spell's name.
The colossal green tree shivered and its leaves started falling. Millions of leaves fell all over the battlefield. Each leave went to one player or native. The ones touched by the leaves had their HP completely refilled. They also felt reinvigorated and were at peace. Their worries and fears seemed to have somehow vanished.
The leaves didn't just go to the living people. They also went to the fallen one. As they touched the dead bodies, green light enveloped those bodies. The empty HP bars above these dead bodies were refilled, and these fallen ones opened their eyes. Even those whose bodies were completely crushed were brought back to life.
The battle started less than an hour ago, so everyone could be resurrected. It was as if the battle had never taken place. The resurrected people were still confused about what had happened. They looked around at each other with puzzled faces.
Goddess Serenity floated forward and landed in front of the six devils. Those devils couldn't pass through the green wall she had erected.
The devils didn't make a move. They knew who Serenity was.
"Are you not willing to leave?" Serenity asked the six.
The six didn't answer. Another voice was heard instead, "My, my. What is a Goddess doing meddling with the affair of mortals?"
Following the voice, Lucifer materialized out of thin air. He smiled gently at Serenity who was now having a wary expression.
