Chapter 79 Arcadia's Sacrifices And Arceau's Comeback!
Arceau's golden gauntlets collided with Keith's fist construct above the sky!
The collision between those two divine attacks caused a worldwide shockwave that ruptured the ground below! The shockwave spread from the sky to the ground, causing a massive earthquake!
The intensity and magnitude of the earthquake were beyond the norm. The ground opened and various wide fault lines were formed on the ground.
Despite the powerful and oppressing momentum that Arceau released, she still wasn't powerful enough to completely destroy Keith's fist construct. There were even signs of her being overpowered by Keith's fist construct.
When Amelia saw that, she couldn't help but feel fear. Even the strongest god in the three worlds, Arceau Arcadia, wasn't powerful enough to destroy Keith's attack.
That made Amelia realize how pissed off Keith was. If not for Arceau intercepting Keith's attack and reducing the power of his attack, Amelia wouldn't doubt that Keith's attack was powerful enough to destroy Arcadia!
The power of a Universal God could even destroy the universe! Even if Keith was a pseudo-Universal God when he used his First Order skill, he was far stronger than the average Universe Realm Initial Stage Semi-Supreme Beings.
So although Keith's fist construct was very powerful that it could even push back Arceau who went all out, Amelia knew that Keith wasn't using all of his power in his attack. Otherwise, not only would Arcadia be destroyed, but even Blue Star and Fantasia as well as the entire galaxy would be destroyed if Keith went all out.
Reaching the power of the Universe Realm meant that one could destroy the universe. But those at the Initial Stage of Universe Realm would take some time in destroying a universe and couldn't destroy the universe in one attack. Only those at the peak stage of the Universe Realm could destroy a universe in one attack.
Those at the Universe Realm Initial Stage could only destroy multiple galaxies in one attack but not the entire universe.
As for a god such as Arceau, she could only destroy a world or planet in one attack. But the fact that even someone as powerful as her couldn't destroy Keith's attack, meant that even if Keith suppressed his power, his attack was still powerful enough to destroy at least two or three worlds.

"Arghh! Who did I offend this time?!"
"Even Gaia isn't this powerful! But the attack came from Blue Star's dimensional gate which only meant that a foreign god much more powerful than Gaia is currently residing in Blue Star!"
"Did that lazy bum shut in of a goddess request for reinforcements?! Ah! I'll take revenge against Gaia for this!"
Arceau aggrievedly complained while she was doing her best to resist Keith's attack. Her situation wasn't that optimistic since her mana and divinity were rapidly depleting and injuries were starting to accumulate on her body.
But, even with those sacrifices, Arceau could barely reduce the power of Keith's attack. From her estimation, only 20% of Keith's attack was depleted and there were still 90% remaining.
For Keith's attack to destroy Arcadia, at least 50% of his fist construct's attack power must remain. So Arceau was far from preventing the destruction of Arcadia!
Even a majestic and powerful god like Arceau couldn't block and counter Keith's attack!
Amelia was well aware that Arceau was far stronger than Filicia and Gaia. Although Gaia was stronger than Filicia, Arceau was still slightly stronger than Gaia.
Gaia was only powerful in the land while Filicia was only powerful in the sky. But Arceau was powerful in any terrain which gave her an edge against those two goddesses.
So even when she was deflecting Keith's attack in the sky, Arceau was still in her peak state. If it was Gaia fighting in the sky, Gaia's power would be reduced due to the terrain being unfavorable for her.
But even with that advantage, Arceau wasn't powerful enough to block Keith's attack even in her peak state. It made her feel weak and helpless! It was the first time she felt this since she became a god! Even Gaia and Filicia couldn't make her experience such emotions!
While Arceau was feeling helpless and fearful, Amelia was feeling the same. After all, if Arceau failed in countering Keith's attack, then Arcadia will be destroyed. If Arcadia was destroyed, even Amelia knew that she would die along with it unless she used her trump card!
So at this time, Amelia was staying in the safest location possible while rooting for Arceau. Amelia wanted Arceau to win! Arceau's loss and defeat were also Amelia's!
"At this rate, I will be defeated! I have only lost once in my life and it was a chess match against that person. But to think that I will lose a second time in this life of mine."
"Heh. Should I resort to that sacrificial move? But even if I save Arcadia at the cost of my death, that bitch Filicia would eye Arcadia and have malicious thoughts towards it. My successor isn't powerful enough to defeat Filicia."
Arceau complained as she desperately attempted to fend off Keith's fist construct. Unfortunately, it only proved to be getting her nowhere since most of her mana and divinity were depleted just to remove a few percentages of Keith's attack power.
Arceau even had thoughts of sacrificing herself just to deflect Keith's attack since she wasn't cowardly enough to retreat and leave Arcadia. After all, she created Arcadia and it would be a lie if she didn't have any attachments regarding it especially when her successor was living in Arcadia.
The destruction of Arcadia meant that her successor would die along with it. It was something that she couldn't accept!
Arceau knew that her successor had a lot of potential and she estimated that it won't be long before her successor managed to surpass her power. Because of that, she didn't want to waste such a chance of raising a successor that could defeat both Gaia and Filicia, which was something she couldn't do alone.
If her successor died, then the resources, time, and effort she spent on raising her successor would all be in vain!
With that thought in mind, Arceau became more determined in protecting Arcadia against Keith's attack.
"I don't know how can a shut-in goddess like Gaia hire such a powerful helper but as long as I am alive, I won't allow them to destroy Arcadia!"
Before Arceau could make up her mind and burn her divinity to destroy Keith's attack, Arceau stopped when she noticed that the powerhouses in Arcadia were flying towards her.
Whether it was the elf race with their flight magic, the dragon race with their dragon wings, or the dwarfs with their spaceships, all of the powerhouses of every race in Arcadia had gathered near Arceau to support her!
"Lord Arceau, we have arrived! We will sacrifice our lives if that is what it takes to defend Arcadia!"
The loud voices of the powerhouses from every race resounded in the sky!
Even the arrogance and pride of the dragon race were no longer present!
Although the powerhouses that gathered were very powerful and the strongest among them could easily dominate Blue Star as long as Keith wasn't there, they still were weaker than Arceau and their power combined still couldn't compare with Arceau.
But Arceau knew what the intentions of those powerhouses were. Since they told her that they were willing to sacrifice their lives just to defend Arcadia, then it could only mean one thing.
"Are you willing to do it? If I sacrifice all of you to regain my power, even your souls wouldn't be spared and you can no longer enter the reincarnation cycle."
Despite Arceau's warning, the powerhouses of Arcadia present didn't have any hesitation on their faces and they didn't take back their words.
"Lord Arceau, we are sure of our actions! If you perish, then our world will no longer have a guardian! If that happens, then the deaths of our races are inevitable!"
"Therefore, let us be selfless, just this time! As a whole, Arcadia might not be united. But in times of crisis, we will sacrifice our lives just to allow our race to live on! The future of Arcadia depends on you, Lord Arceau!"
Hearing the confirmations from those powerhouses, Arceau was moved by their unyielding and courageous words and selfless sacrifice!
No longer hesitating, Arceau enveloped her power around the powerhouse's body. In a blink of an eye, the bodies of the elves brimming with magic, and the large bodies of dragons became withered, like a skeleton.
No one was spared and their bodies became like mummies. As if that wasn't enough, Arceau further absorbed their power, and their souls were devoured by her as well.
Not only was the mummy-like corpse absorbed by Arceau until nothing was left, but even their souls also weren't spared!
But before those powerhouses of Arcadia died, they didn't show any reluctance or regret on their faces. Only devotion towards Arceau and hope for the future of Arcadia remained on their faces.
"Don't worry. As your goddess, I won't waste your sacrifices!"
Brimming with mana and divinity, Arceau glared at the fist construct in front of her and punched her gauntlets further!
