The refugees were slightly agitated, gazing at the unfamiliar city with a brief moment of disorientation before quickly turning their attention back to Hua Yi, awaiting his instructions.
"Next—"
Hua Yi rubbed Ti Bao's head.
“You are the saint of the Gate, and these people are believers. Don’t you think you should say something?”
"Huh?...Oh!"
Tibo finally came to her senses, facing the refugees, her cute face full of seriousness.
"Friends, perhaps in your eyes, the Titans who protect the Holy City are foreign gods, but *we* swear in the name of the Gate of a Thousand Paths that as long as the Golden Blood lives, Ohmar will protect every Titan's child, without distinction."
Although she looks like a little girl, the way she swore her oath at this moment was solemn and dignified, worthy of the name of a saint.
The old priest's concerns were not unfounded.
Ohmma received too many refugees, leading to problems such as shortages of supplies and overcrowding. However, the Golden Blood, these fire-chasing heroes, remained steadfast in their stance, wanting to accept and protect everyone.
However, due to the sheer terror of the Black Tide, even though the Golden Blood were stronger than ordinary people, and some of them had even taken over the power of the Titans and become demigods, they were still unable to achieve true salvation.
boom!
The sudden explosion startled everyone.
A fireball appeared in the sky at some unknown time, shooting towards Ohma. In the distance, a large number of stone monsters emerged, arranged in perfect unison, forming a siege formation.
"They're soldiers of the Mad King Nicardo! How did they track us all the way from the Abyss of Fate... Are they going to bring chaos and strife to Ohmar as well?!"
"This must be a premeditated attack—Hua Yi, quickly lead the refugees into the city, I'll hold them off!"
Bai E had just been staring blankly at Hua Yi, who was calming the people and leading them, and felt a sincere longing in his heart. Now, the situation had suddenly changed, and he didn't have time to express his respect. His tone was urgent as he prepared to cover the rear alone.
"There are too many soldiers, and the fireballs in the sky are siege weapons. They really want to bring down Ohmma, even if your comrades are quite strong..."
Before Bai E could finish speaking, Hua Yi had already taken out the Great Guardian's lance.
Previously, Toppa used the company's products to feed the refugees; now, by showcasing its "storage protection" service, it can be considered a response.
Hua Yi walked in the direction from which the soldiers of the conflict had attacked.
The blade of his lance traced an amber line in the air. He did not look at the approaching army, but instead lowered the tip of his lance to touch the long-suffering earth beneath his feet.
"I hereby establish this agreement: foreign enemies may only come to this place, but may not cross it."
The instant the spear tip touched the soil, a circle instantly appeared around the holy city, enveloping it.
The amber radiance surged forth from the scratches, embodying the vow and the will to protect.
Flames rose, transforming into a barrier of light stretching across the plains, blocking and engulfing the meteor shower of fire launched from the catapults.
In the distance, soldiers from the conflict are approaching horizontally, about to reach the boundary line that Hua Yi has drawn around the Holy City.
hum.
The next instant, they failed to cross the barrier; their orderly formation froze, as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of sighs.
Chaos and strife, the will to kill in a frenzy, were all resolutely rejected outside this line.
It's like a moth drawn to a flame.
Tibo, Baier, and the refugees were not the only ones who witnessed this scene.
There were also soldiers on the walls of Ohma, and the Golden Bloods with solemn expressions, ready to go into battle.
"The Mad King's army's offensive has been halted! Thank goodness, I felt the fireball was coming this way."
"What...what kind of power, what kind of method is that?!"
Soldiers on the city wall nocked their arrows and launched ranged attacks on the soldiers still fighting near the border.
"Quickly bring the ballistae up to defend the city, hurry!"
"Go and block the city gates! Wait... there are still refugees outside. Find a way to split the troops and send some out of the city to pick them up. The rest of you continue to suppress them from a distance. Keep the arrows going!"
They didn't know how long the boundaries drawn by Hua Yi could hold, but they acted according to their military discipline, making various on-the-spot responses.
In the city of Ohmma, the citizens are both the vulnerable and the protected.
These people couldn't do much; they could only pray for victory in the war and the triumphant return of their heroes. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"Is that the power of the [Gateway]? No, it feels more like the divine authority of the [Earth], the [Bearer of the World], or the [Law]."
People tend to apply things that are difficult to understand to their own perception.
In the face of disaster, the weak, unable to gain strength, can only rely on faith.
"It is [The Negative World], it must be! The Throne of the World has opened its eyes, ending its long silence, and granting us protection—look! How dazzling is that amber flame, like a machine of dawn? The messenger of [The Negative World] has arrived!"
Citizens are speculating, desperately grasping at any imaginable lifeline.
Meanwhile, Toppa and Emerald, the two company executives, were already all smiles when they saw that Hua Yi had chosen to use the power of [Preservation].
Ding dong~ The company has won a point!
Or should I say "storage protection" score?
"I've come to pay my respects, I've come to refill the wine..."
Jade intends to press on, borrowing the power of preservation to eliminate the warring soldiers beyond the border.
However, some people were more eager and rushed out without regard for anything else.
It is the Beloberg camp led by Bronya.
Both the Immortal Boat Alliance and the Interstellar Peace Corporation played a role. Although Belloberg could not compare to the super powers, he still contributed as much as possible.
"To protect and defend, crush them!"
"Look at my divine might, invincible!"
Xing got excited and, swinging his baseball bat wildly, charged into the chaos and wreaked havoc.
In addition, there's Himeko, March 7th, Black Swan, Kagami-ryu, Robin...
With so many Fate Walkers mobilized, even though the Commander-level didn't make a move and gave the opportunity to others, the Conflict Soldiers were no match for them.
At most, they're only at the level of Rift Monsters; there aren't even any elite monsters.
three minutes.
Onfaros and his men watched helplessly as the warring soldiers, despite their terrifying numbers, were swiftly and decisively wiped out by the girls around Hua Yi, unable to even approach the border.
"[Savior], where did you find such powerful reinforcements?"
As fellow members of the Golden Clan, the muscular man jumped down from the city wall, walked to Bai E's side, and glanced at the invincible Xing and others in the distance before finally settling on Hua Yi, who was clearly the leader.
"A demigod? No! No new sparks have been returned."
"Wan Di, please don't call me savior anymore, I'm begging you—that person is more like a savior hero. It feels weird when you call me that anymore."
Upon hearing this, Wan Di's eyes showed surprise, and he turned around to look Bai E up and down.
"beg me?"
"Yes, I beg you."
"……interesting."
Wan Di gazed at Hua Yi from afar, scrutinizing this stranger whom Bai E felt inferior to, and whom even had to change his form of address to bow before him.

Chapter 699 Conversation with Aglaia
Around Ohm, the circle drawn by Hua Yi truly became an insurmountable wall of sighs, which no fighting soldiers or attacks could break through.
Whether it runs on the ground or flies in the sky.
The area of absolute safety was thus clearly defined, and the refugees who believed in the "path," as well as the soldiers and ordinary people in Ohma, all watched this scene in shock.
Although the soldiers under the Mad King are not part of the Black Tide, everyone knows how powerful their army is and how easily they can crush the various city-states.
Now they have been reduced to moths drawn to a flame, crushed and defeated.
The scale of this attack clearly surpasses any previous one, inspiring despair even from afar.
Xing and her companions charged into the chaotic army, routed the enemy formation, and pursued them for over a hundred miles, eliminating all the conflicting puppets within their sight before finally returning to Hua Yi's side, satisfied.
In the face of the apocalypse, the weak pray for divine protection, but when a truly powerful being appears to protect everyone, this overwhelming joy is enough to drive the weak mad.
"Did you see that? Even though the civilians, who lacked combat skills, were with that man, no one died when the Mad King's soldiers attacked the city!"
"Everything is intact, and everyone is fine!"
"I thought many people would die. The Mad King's army is too large this time. The city's defenses are simply insufficient. The city gates will be breached, and the fireballs in the sky will set Ohmmar ablaze. We all have to flee for our lives..."
Amidst the turmoil within the city, a seed called hope has taken root and sprouted.
Both involve defending against an attack and eliminating the invading enemy, but achieving a Pyrrhic victory with many casualties is completely different from defeating the enemy with one's own forces intact!
"I'm still alive! Is no one hurt? Even the guards might have bumped into something while rushing to move the ballistae. Were there any careless fools? Ha, ha... Waaah..."
After surviving the ordeal, some people laughed and then cried.
Even though Hua Yi's identity was unknown, the citizens of Ohema felt immense gratitude towards him. Allowing such a hero who had turned the tide to enter the city alone, even with Bai Er, Wan Di, and Ti Bao accompanying him, seemed rather impolite.
The gates of Ohmma opened, and two people quickly emerged.
She was dressed in luxurious attire, with short blonde hair adorned with an olive branch headband, and a long gown that accentuated the contrast between pure white and gold, resembling a noble queen.
Another girl followed behind her, deliberately keeping a distance. She had long, silver-purple hair, and her white dress, as white as moonlight, was adorned with flower buds. Her expression and demeanor were much gentler, and she was clearly a beautiful young woman.
"*Let's* introduce them! This is Aglaia, Aya, the demigod of [Romantic], and the current leader of the Golden Blood. And this is Xia Die, Die, the mortician of Ohma. Um... for some reasons, it's best not to get too close to her."
Tibo was introducing Huayi to her.
When she mentioned not being able to get close to Xia Die, she specifically looked at Xing, her face full of seriousness.
During this time together, Teacher Tibo has discovered that among the entire team, Star is the most reckless.
"Hello, guest from afar."
Aglaia spoke gently and kindly to Hua Yi, but her beautiful blue eyes never seemed to shine or sparkle.
A few more gold lines appeared on the ground, making the area around the Ohmma city gate even more magnificent, as if expressing welcome.
"Although we do not yet know your identities, your willingness to step in and protect Ohma during the [Conflict] offensive has already dispelled our doubts—from now on, you are honored guests of the Holy City and distinguished guests of the Golden Blood."
"Have your doubts truly been dispelled?"
Hua Yi glanced at the golden threads on the ground, seemingly unperturbed.
“Well, as a leader, it’s not wrong to be vigilant—the people behind me are followers of the Titans of the Gate. Their homeland has fallen, and they’ve come to Ohma for refuge. Tibo said the Golden Children would protect them.”
"Ohmma is willing to provide shelter for all."
Despite Hua Yi pointing out her wariness, Aglaia did not show any unusual reaction and maintained her gentle tone.
"Welcome believers of the [Gateway]! We will provide land and food."
“The place doesn’t need to be too big. I don’t think there’s much space left in Ohma. My companions can handle the food problem.”
At this moment, Hua Yi's consideration for Ohmma's situation caused Aglaia's expression to pause slightly.
"..."
The refugees remained quiet, showing little reaction to the instruction that "the place doesn't need to be too big," completely unconcerned about the cramped living conditions, and simply gazing at Hua Yi with fervent, reverent eyes.
"Let the guards arrange the camp first. I'll come see you later and keep my promise."
"My lord, we are alright, please don't worry!" (This last part is a fragment and doesn't translate directly. It likely refers to a woman named Lu who died.)
This unusual situation also caught Aglaia's attention.
"Distinguished guests, please enter the city first, and we will talk as we walk."
As Hua Yi and his entourage entered Ohm, the citizens, even those with expressions of curiosity and gratitude, voluntarily made way for them and kept their distance.
It really is far away.
It doesn't feel like the group is making way for Aglaia and Huayi, but rather that it's centered around Xia Die.
"Hey!"
Xing grew increasingly curious, remembering Tibo's earlier instructions not to get close to this quiet girl—(Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
