Under the power of that god, no matter how hard the fossil skin of the "fossil pterosaur" was, it would be swept into the vortex and crushed into powder.
However, the statue of Ares, the "God of War," had already been sucked a large amount of energy, which would make its consciousness relatively weak after it was awakened.
But it's not a big problem; we can still handle it.
Hermes moved his piece forward again.
He had long been annoyed by the rude God of War, so this was for the best.
However, on the floor beneath his feet, the "fossilized pterosaur" that had been drawn away by the statue's power suddenly vanished without a trace.
However, it was Zenny Burns who manipulated the "Cube Magic Ball" to set up a "random teleportation" trap along the path it was sucked away from.
Although the barrier prevented the "Fossil Aerodactyl" from being randomly teleported outside the tower, the trap still managed to move it out of the suction range.
In the blink of an eye, it discovered that a new statue of a god had appeared in front of it!
The statue holding a trident is clearly a statue of Poseidon, the "god of the sea"!
But regardless of which god it was, the "Fossil Pterosaur" wasn't picky about food. Almost without hesitation, it opened its mouth and took a deep breath at the statue of Poseidon.
The "ancient power" within the statue was then drawn out by it. Another huge gulp!
The progress of "Ancient Power" jumped from 98% to 99% in an instant, leaving only the last 1%!
This 1% is the most difficult hurdle to overcome.
At this point, if the "Fossil Pteranodon" is still searching for and absorbing artifacts within the city below, no matter how much it absorbs, it will be impossible to cross that 1% distance.
But before it stood twelve...eleven statues of gods who could grant any wish!
These eleven statues of gods, regardless of which one possesses "ancient power," can easily allow one to cross that 1% threshold by absorbing just two or three more breaths of their "ancient power."
However, the statue of Hermes was already enraged.
Although this statue does not have a true self, Hermes endowed it with considerable intelligence based on the principles of magical spirits.
Its "rage" may not be true anger, but the way it manifests is indistinguishable from real fury.
This time, it did not use the power of wind, but instead used another power that would make it absolutely impossible for the "fossilized ape" to break free!
It spread its fingers, palm facing up, and a symbol resembling two crossed swords appeared in its palm.
Then it snapped its fingers together, instantly crushing the symbol. White light spread out, reaching every corner of the floor.
This time, the power it wielded was not only directed at the "Fossil Aerial Dragon," but at everyone and the magical spirits on the entire floor.
The moment Isaiah Roger sensed something was wrong, he shrunk down to the lower level, pulling Aurora down with him.
Everyone else on this floor, except for them, stepped onto the white light.
Even while flying, white halos appeared beneath their feet. Then, in the next instant, a powerful fighting spirit surged in the minds of everyone, including the magical spirits.
Driven by that intense fighting spirit, both the armed Ori, Angry, and the "Twin Paladins," and the unarmed Zenny and Lucia, suddenly ran towards the statue.
Their magical spirits were even more unstoppable, rushing towards the statue of Hermes even faster than they could.
Only Dark Dimon stood still, his eyes slightly red, barely resisting the urge.
He looked down abruptly and saw "Shami" struggling to get out of his arms.
On the other side, the defenseless "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" and "Blue-Eyed Girl" walked straight toward the statue of Hermes without using any special moves.
"Allure"
Dark shook his head abruptly, immediately denying the possibility. That was definitely not enchantment.
Hermes, in theory, did not possess authority over the "Charm" lineage. The power emanating from that statue felt more like the power of rules that Ares, the "God of War," would wield.
That must be some kind of authority related to "battle". However, the reality before him left Dark with no choice but to believe it.
He had to use this as a basis to think of ways to break the rules, but... he had no relevant information at all!
"no solution anymore!"
Dak gritted his teeth and reached for his cardholder.
The fact that the magical spirits, such as the "Fossil Aerial Dragon," were being led by that authority toward the statue is secondary.
The key point is that humans like Ollie are also controlled by that authority.
He had no relevant information and did not know what kind of power the statue was wielding.
But he himself resisted and was not dominated like the others.
This is enough to explain a lot.
Therefore, methods that can break this rule naturally emerge.
His fingers swept across the side of the magic card, first landing on "Pride 4".
However, this "Pride 4" card was incomplete and its effectiveness could not be guaranteed. Therefore, after a moment's hesitation, he drew another nearby magic card—"Elysium 4V"!
The unfolding of "Paradise V" will inevitably bring negative consequences.
But adding an "Insolence IV" card after that can solve many problems.
Dak acted with exceptional decisiveness at this moment.
The moment "Paradise 4" was drawn, the incantation began to be chanted.
When he raises "Elysium 4" high, the summoning spell is usually already complete.
"In the name of Dark Demon, a magical summoning—'Elysium V'!" A powerful energy surge instantly spread out.
The radiance emanating from the card illuminated the entire floor.
With his powerful manipulation abilities, Dark condensed the brilliance of "Elysium 4" into multiple beams of light, which he then shot towards all the humans and magical spirits affected by the authority.
Unbeknownst to him, as he unfolded "Paradise 4," a deity above him accidentally dropped a chess piece.
Those humans and magical spirits affected by the authority suddenly stopped moving after the beam of "Elysium 4" shone into their minds.
Two different forces were pulling at their hearts. One of them gave rise to a strong urge to fight the statue.
Another force gave them intense pleasure, their entire being consumed by the blissful sensation.
However, the power used by the Hermes statue was ultimately borrowed from Hermes himself, and the effect it could achieve was not on the same level as the power released by Hermes himself.
Since it could not influence Dak Dimon himself, it naturally could not win the battle for the mind.
However, after the power of "Elysium V" took over, the humans and magical spirits affected by the combined power of the two forces did not immediately regain their senses.
Dark, expressionless, drew "Pride i4" and summoned it. "In the name of Dark Dimon, Summoning Magic—'Pride i4'!" The radiance of "Pride i4" shone directly upon all people and magical spirits. The heat in their hearts instantly cooled.
After "Pride 4" and "Elysium 4v" canceled out, the affected people and magical spirits all regained consciousness.
However, they immediately realized that they were already extremely close to the statue!
"Cube magic ball!"
"Zeni Burns exclaimed suddenly."
Its "cubic magic ball" immediately responded with an unimaginable speed, preventing the "random teleportation" trap under each person's feet.
The next moment, everyone randomly appeared in other places. Luckily, no one was teleported to the face of the statue. Meanwhile, the other magical elves, under the command of the humans, launched a new attack on the statue.
Only the "Fossil Aerial Dragon" turned and ran without hesitation, flying towards the nearest other statue!
At that moment, the statue of Hermes suddenly opened its eyes, and the light emanating from its eyes pierced through the wings of the "fossilized pterosaur".
But then magical spirits pounced on it, blocking it from all sides.
After using two powers in succession—especially the second one—its divine power was severely depleted, leaving only a very small portion of its already limited divine power.
Although that portion of divine power can support it in using another authority, it will completely shut down after that.
Therefore, it has temporarily lost its most terrifying means.
All of this was brought to light by the "fossilized pterosaur".
And the "fossil pterosaur" is still active!
The Hermes statue had no more time to perform. With a sudden wave of its hand, it flung away the magical sprite that had been entangled with it, then urged the wings on its ankles to flap, rushing towards the "fossilized pterosaur" like the wind.
Then, just as it rushed behind the "Fossil Pteranodon," all that remained in its sight was a tiny white light.
The "Fossil Aerial Dragon" stepped into the "random teleportation" trap and reappeared on the other side.
Furthermore, there is a trap called "position swapping." A magical spirit that was standing in front of a statue beforehand suddenly swapped positions with it.
Although the "Fossil Pterosaur" was also confused, it saw the statue right in front of it as soon as it moved, and immediately took another big breath at the statue without hesitation.
With this inhalation of "Ancient Power," its progress in "Ancient Power" is once again approaching 100%.
The same thing happened again after that.
When the statue of Hermes caught up to this side, the "Fossil Aerial Dragon" was teleported to the other side by the "Position Swap" trap.
Then, facing the statue of Demeter, the "goddess of agriculture," he took another bite.
With that one bite, its "ancient power" finally reached its critical point.
With the last bit of "ancient power" being absorbed, that final push was easily broken.
It was because the quality of the "ancient power" it absorbed was so high that the last 1% was so easily broken.
In that instant, it suddenly raised its head and let out a roar full of ancient aura towards the sky.
The ferocity and terror that seemed to have come from a barbaric era instantly made everyone present feel a pressure from the depths of their souls.
But just when Dark thought that the "Fossil Aerial Dragon" would completely transform at this moment, it suddenly turned into a beam of light and quickly returned to the Magic Card!
Even the two fossil pterosaurs that transformed into "sword beasts" entered the Magic Card at the same time as it returned.
Dark silently took out his magic card and saw that the card, which should have been a fossil pterosaur, now only had a giant egg covered in patterns on it!
The fossil pterosaur has been truly remade.
Once it hatches from that ancient egg, it will inevitably undergo a complete transformation and revert to its so-called "ancient form".
Dark had put in tremendous effort for that moment. He certainly longed to see it.
But if it cannot overcome this hurdle, then everything will be meaningless. Even if the "Fossil Aerial Dragon" successfully transforms, it can only remain forever dormant within the Magic Cards.
However, at this most crucial moment, when it was most needed, it turned into an egg!
Although Aoli and the others were not clear about the "fossilized pterosaur," they could glean some information from Dark's changing expressions.
They immediately realized that their previous efforts were likely in vain. However, anything could happen during a battle, and they couldn't afford to dwell on the past at this moment.
Without the "Fossilized Pteranodon" and the "Sword Beast," the battle seemed to have reverted to its state several minutes earlier. The statue of Hermes had regained the upper hand.
And at that moment, it pounced on Dark without hesitation. But "Shami," who was lying in Dark's arms, rushed out at that moment. It transformed into its "Sky Form" in mid-air and used "Growth" almost simultaneously.
Immediately afterwards, countless blade-like leaves swirled around it in the gale.
Without hesitation, it manipulated the "Leaf Storm" to bombard the statue of Hermes.
But the statue of Hermes flowed directly through the "storm of leaves," its enormous fist slamming fiercely into "Shaymi."
After using "Growth" in its "Sky Form", "Shami's" three-dimensional attributes have reached an extremely exaggerated level.
However, its defense remains a weakness; it can barely withstand a punch from the statue without dying.
However, to protect its master, "Shami" had already disregarded its own life. "Shami, Land Form!"
With a sudden burst of strength, Dark caught "Shemi," who had reverted to his land form. After the Hermes statue had delivered a powerful punch, it remained unaffected and continued its rapid charge toward Dark.
Its divine power reserves were wailing, telling it that it could no longer delay and had to resolve the immediate trouble as soon as possible.
However, Dark Dimon completely gave up fighting it at this moment, and in a flash, he jumped into the stairwell leading to the lower level!
—A strategic retreat!
Of course, you shouldn't do anything that's suicidal. After jumping into the stairwell, Dark quickly descended.
Meanwhile, "Shemi" in his arms was continuously absorbing the power of nature and recovering rapidly.
Isaiah Roger and Aurora, who had been hiding at the stairwell entrance, had disappeared without a trace after he gave them advance notice.
All twelve gold medals were in his backpack. He knew that if the statue were to chase him, it would be him! And sure enough, it was.
The staircase was indeed too small for the size of the statue.
After entering the staircase, it had difficulty moving around and got stuck almost every step it took.
But it still crashed into the staircase—though it caused enormous damage to the staircase's exterior walls.
