Soran smelled danger because Lin You did not hide anything. A golden light like the sun lit up and filled every corner of the dimensional space.
The light was blazingly hot, and it evaporated a lot of the black mist in the "big eyeball" at the slightest touch. The situation of the Nine Ringwraiths was even worse, and half of their "bodies" were burned away almost instantly under the light.
Orcs do not like sunlight, a habit that actually stems from their dark instincts; their creator Morgoth, including the Maia who followed Morgoth into corruption, as well as the dragons, the Ringwraiths, the wights, and so on, all hate sunlight.
It doesn’t mean that sunlight will definitely cause harm to them. Many times it is just an instinctive resistance to bright things from the bottom of their hearts.
In the great music of "Eru", whether it was the giant lamp that illuminated the Middle-earth continent at first, or the two sacred trees that radiated light in Aman, or even the stars, sun and moon later, they all essentially brought light to the world. Therefore, Morgoth, who tried to disrupt the great music, could only go to the other side that was opposite to light from the beginning, and even his subordinates and creations naturally had similar attributes.
As Morgoth's number one servant, Sauron was naturally no exception; for thousands of years, the places where he hid, from Dol Guldur to Mordor, were all covered with dark clouds all day long, without a trace of sunlight.
Although the light released by Lin You did not contain the attribute of "justice" and had no attribute conflict with Sauron's power, even the simple light and heat made it unbearable for the Dark Lord and his followers; because it also contained a crushing blow caused by the fundamental difference in power levels.
The blockade of the dimensional space has always been solid, with no loopholes in the sky or on the ground, and even the connection with the underworld has been cut off; although Sauron has long known that he is no match for the enemy, he can only fight like a trapped beast at this time.
The Dark Lord felt that he was not without a chance; he went to the other side of the space-time rift and saw similar races such as elves, dwarves, humans, halflings, etc., but they had completely different attribute rules from Arda.
Black and white, right and wrong, good and evil are intertwined in every corner of that world; it seems that there are always two forces wrestling in the depths of the soul of every intelligent creature, and a step or a line of difference means the difference between light and darkness.
The elves there are not noble in nature, and the dwarves there are not stubborn and tough enough; the sense of chaos is the main theme of that world at all times and everywhere. For Sauron, who is good at manipulating and deceiving people, such a world is simply a paradise tailor-made for him.
Because he had been to the other world and knew the different properties of the world, Soran also deeply understood the difficulty of fighting away from home. Even though he took the initiative of a surprise attack and polluted a large area of land with evil to gain a foothold, he was still driven back by the gods of the other world.
Since he was powerless in the other world, the god from another world before him would definitely have weaknesses due to the differences and similarities in the attributes of the world.
The Nine Ringwraiths, led by the Witch-King Angmar, attempted to launch a counterattack. The pale green ghostly shadows floated around, surrounded by the bright light, but they had no idea where to start. Instead, they had to pay attention to dodge the high-temperature flames that were spewing out at all times.
The black mist around the "big eyeball" was surging, confronting the golden light head-on. These black mists were not just impactful as what Lin You had seen in the movies in his previous life. They carried the most vicious and darkest thoughts in the world of Alda, corroding people's hearts and corrupting souls in every possible way, stirring up the negative emotions of everyone who came into contact with them, and provoking the most despicable thoughts in their hearts.
Unfortunately, psychic attacks are useless to the Ophiuchus Saints. Facing the collective pressure of the gods, he could persist in himself and never give in. Asclepius set an excellent example for the later Ophiuchus Saints. Putting on the Ophiuchus Cloth is equivalent to fully maxing out the resistance to psychic attacks.
Even the gods cannot crush Ophiuchus's resolve, so what is Sauron's trick?
The ball of light grew larger and larger, forcing Sauron and the Nine Ringwraiths to retreat step by step; they soon had no room to retreat further because the dimensional space was shrinking synchronously.
Lin You smiled and teased: "Although it is not difficult to defeat you, it is really difficult to kill you completely." The angry roars of Sauron and the Nine Ringwraiths echoed in the dimensional space. The sound waves contained a terrifying energy that shocked people, but failed to stir up the slightest ripple.
Many facts have proven that even when pushed to the limit, people still can’t do many things—not just math problems. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it. The power gap is too big, and no matter how loud you shout, it will only turn into the wailing of a defeated dog.
The first to be destroyed were the Nine Ringwraiths, whose green figures dissipated like smoke, turning into wisps of green smoke. They were not completely dead, because Lin You did not kill them; as long as Sauron was still there, he could reshape the Ringwraiths at any time.
However, Soran himself was not feeling well at the moment.
The battle between light and black fog was wearing away the Dark Lord's spiritual will every moment; without the One Ring, Sauron's power became like water without a source, and could not withstand consumption for too long.
If this continues, the accumulation of thousands of years may be lost in one day.
Why is this foreign god so powerful? He is also fighting away from home and cannot draw replenishment from the world of Arda, so why does his divine power seem to be endless?
The lack of intelligence put Soran in an extremely unfavorable situation from the very beginning without him realizing it.
Lin You is not an alien god, but a writer; with a quill in hand, his consciousness can penetrate the deepest layer of the world, or radiate to the outermost edge. Although the demon hunter world and the planet Arda have not been integrated into the world, the conjunction of the celestial spheres still makes them closely connected with the world; although they are not "one body", they can be regarded as a "whole".
Therefore, even though he was in Arda, Lin You could still get supplements from the big world. This was also a "privilege" that only writers could enjoy.
It's just that there's no need to say these words to Soran. Lin You even deliberately misled him: "You underestimated the power gap between you and the 'Valar', and you don't understand what a higher level of life means. A true god represents the basic rules of a world and has transcended the limitations of time and space. Unless you can completely occupy and transform the Middle Continent, and make the land and creatures of the entire continent become your source of power, you will not be able to face any 'Valar' at all."
"Occupy, transform..." Soran felt that these words had a deeper meaning, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"You will never understand. There are so many creatures on this continent that are resisting your will. You haven't even taken over it, let alone transforming it. Why didn't your old master Morgoth teach you any useful knowledge? It seems you have to start from scratch. I don't know if you still have a chance."
Lin You laughed loudly and thrust the scepter forward, straight into the center of the "big eyeball", piercing the vertical pupil that looked like a human figure.
Soran let out a terrible wail that he had never heard since they met. His "big eyeball" shattered with a bang. Black mist and yellow-green flames flew everywhere, and soon disappeared completely. (End of this chapter)
