Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!

"What?"

"How could such a thing happen?"

"Do they really think House Ponton has no one to fight back?"

"Attack! Teach this girl the cost of her actions!"

"..."

The four figures were filled with intense rage.

In their minds, House Ponton was the undisputed powerhouse in the area. It was a prestigious family that had produced multiple Tier-Sages throughout its history. And now, someone had dared to provoke them? They couldn't accept this.

These four people had once been part of House Ponton. After stepping down from their positions as heads, they chose to go into seclusion within the family. As an old-tier-Sage family, House Ponton had many ways to temporarily preserve their lives, waiting for the right moment to rise again. This was the depth of the family's heritage—something smaller families could never compare to.

At this moment, Lord Ponton thought this was the most crucial time. This girl, Nora, had to die! Otherwise, the family's reputation would be completely ruined.

If they let Nora leave here unharmed, it would mean House Ponton had been humiliated in its own home. They could never allow such a thing to happen. Most importantly, Lord Ponton was now the head of House Ponton. If an outsider could be so arrogant within the family without consequences, he would be the one branded with disgrace.

Around them were the younger generation of House Ponton. These young people had all been easily defeated by Nora. Lord Ponton could not let this continue.

At this moment, Lord Ponton was entirely consumed with these thoughts. He didn't even realize that these events were all the result of his own orders. If not for his instructions, would these young people have gone out of their way to provoke a complete stranger?

Four terrifying auras locked onto Nora. The overwhelming mana aura enveloped the surroundings. Nora coldly watched the figures, as though their presence brought her no real trouble.

"I can't believe House Ponton has fallen so far as to be bullied by a little girl!"

"Damn it!"

As these words fell, the mana waves surrounding the four figures grew more and more intense, sending ripples through the air. Some of the unconscious people around began to show signs of waking up.

Then, the four figures appeared in different directions around Nora, seemingly trying to encircle her. Nora knew she couldn't allow them to close in on her. If they managed to form a battle formation, she would be at a severe disadvantage.

So, before they could completely surround her, Nora quickly fled the area. She arrived at another location.

Seeing Nora move, the four figures exchanged looks that showed satisfaction. They had intentionally revealed their plan, hoping to drive Nora away from the Tier-Sage estate. Otherwise, attacking here would cause too much of a loss to House Ponton.

Just as Nora left the Tier-Sage estate, the magic they had been preparing for a long time, locked on her position.

In that instant, four terrifying magical attacks shot towards Nora. If she were hit by these, even with the protection of a half-divine artifact, she would still suffer serious injuries.

Nora did not expect them to be so decisive.

Red mana threads quickly spread out, engulfing the four magical attacks. In the space covered by the mana threads, the four attacks detonated.

Nora's expression changed slightly, but she could still withstand the attack.

After the explosion, the four figures were a bit surprised. They had just used about seventy percent of their power in the attack. Normally, such an attack should have easily killed this little girl, especially since it was a combined effort of four.

But…

This little girl had used a very unique magic to temporarily create a space that swallowed their attacks, rendering them completely ineffective.

This magic…

It amazed them. Continue reading at empire

From this magic alone, they could tell that this girl was not simple. But this didn't justify provoking House Ponton.

The four began gathering their magic again, preparing to attack Nora once more.

At that moment, the red threads appeared again, enveloping everyone. They found themselves transported to a different space.

This space was similar to the Tier-Sage estate but different in that the people who had previously been knocked out were no longer there.

Moreover, in this new space, only the four of them were present. No other figures.

The four could feel that Nora's strength seemed to have been amplified in this space. Her aura was now much stronger than before.

The four's expressions immediately became serious.

"This kind of magic… no ordinary family could achieve this!"

"Indeed. It must come from a family at least as powerful as House Ponton, a Tier-Sage family."

Magic was infinite.

Each person had a unique magic pattern inside them, which determined what kinds of magic they excelled at.

The magic the girl was using, however, seemed to have no known origin. They couldn't identify any inheritance behind it. It could have been something that only appeared after they had died.

One thing was clear: the magic was powerful.

Facing such an opponent…

It was clear that whoever stood behind her must be a force to be reckoned with.

But… was it worth it?

Before they could consider the answer, Nora's figure appeared right before them.

The mana threads around her shot out, attacking the four figures.

Naturally, they wouldn't just let Nora attack. They quickly cast their own magic to counter hers.

But all of their spells were blocked by the mana threads surrounding Nora.

Instead of attacking, the threads had transformed into a defensive barrier.

Seeing this, the four decided to strike immediately. If they didn't defeat the girl now, who knew what other attacks she might unleash?

Especially since this special space was controlled by her.

Remaining here could very well lead to unfavorable conditions for them.

The four acted without hesitation, each casting their most familiar spell.

At that moment, they unleashed a combined attack on Nora.

There was no room for her to dodge. If their magic hit, she would be dead. No chance for survival.

Nora's face turned pale, and she even showed signs of fear.

It seemed that she couldn't fully avoid their magic.

Time passed slowly.

Four different magical attacks hit Nora simultaneously.

The four figures smiled, believing that Nora was done for. With such an overwhelming attack, they were sure she had no chance of survival.

But then…

The four's expressions changed drastically. They suddenly coughed up blood.

The space around them shattered, and the mini-world they were in vanished.

Instead, they found themselves facing the aftermath of their own magical attacks.

The ground around them had been destroyed, and the four of them were all injured to varying degrees.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

These injuries weren't caused by Nora's mana threads.

They were injuries caused by their own magic!

In other words, they had ended up wounding themselves with their own spells.
