Tommy stood, golden divine light swirling around his body, fury written all over his face. Mist curled around him, weakening part of the devastating sonic wave from the massive great ape.
But only weakened—after all, the great ape was a terrifying tier-6 mid spellbeast. As a newly appointed Vassal God, Tommy was nowhere near strong enough to confront such power directly.
The deafening roar continued to surge toward the masses of devotees, carrying overwhelming force.
"This is the domain of Deus Initium! You dare seek death here?!"
At that moment, James appeared, joining the defense. Layers upon layers of mist surged forth, like flowing veils, completely neutralizing the incoming sonic assault.
Together, the two Vassal Gods managed to block the terrifying impact.
Within this territory, their combat strength was roughly equivalent to tier-5 human awakeners. Had the great ape's roar been any more powerful, even they might have suffered serious injuries.
