Chapter 253
Chapter 254 Evil God Pressure
Although fear stirred in her heart, Joan… didn’t feel much panic anymore.
At the same time, George and Sophie made their moves.
A wave of frost exploded around George, and in the next instant, he froze himself inside a massive block of ice.
“Ice Coffin p>
A powerful sealing skill.
When used on enemies, it immobilized them completely. When used on oneself, it granted absolute invincibility.
Ice Coffin was also a key technique passed down in many legacy families.
Professionals nearing the end of their lifespan but still possessing immense strength often chose to seal themselves in Ice Coffins. They would only be released if their clan faced an extinction-level crisis.
Official forces used similar methods. Whenever a dimension fell into a Divine-Demonic war, these near-death veterans would be thrown onto the battlefield to deliver one final burst of strength.
As George activated the skill and was encased in ice, a smile still lingered on his lips.
He felt untouchable.
Sophie, of course, was no weakling either.
“Angel Shield p>
An SSS-rank skill.
Sophie had become Public Relations Club president in her sophomore year and possessed two Mythic-level skill upgrade stones. Besides Angel Shield, she also had a terrifying SSS-rank skill, Luminara’s Redemption, the legendary resurrection spell.
It could be said Sophie was perfectly suited for the Divine Battlefield, yet she feared danger. With her massive fanbase, she made a huge income every year from endorsements and advertising alone.
She was an influencer, but not the service-industry type who quit adventuring to be a celeb.
1/3
After graduation, she could become the director of a private hospital under any major medical conglomerate.
And today’s competition mattered deeply. If she lost the Public Relations Club presidency, her followers would drop, and her commercial value would plummet.
Just imagining advertisers turning to Joanna instead and letting Joanna make that money made Sophie grind her teeth.
Taking someone’s way to make a living is practically murder.
Sophie was determined to fight Joanna to the end.
As the skill was activated, a holy angel spread its wings behind Sophie, wrapping around her. Its pure white wings curved inward, forming a feathered shield.
Both of them now looked like they had perfect defense.
The spectators suddenly scattered. Some even stumbled and crawled away in panic. The evil god’s pressure filled them with terror.
And this was only a statue.
“This is terrifying. Is this what an evil god is like p>
“I can’t even bring myself to look at it. Just standing here makes me feel afraid p>
“My thoughts feel messy. Why do I suddenly feel the urge to attack someone p>
“George’s an ice mage. Ice Coffin is basically invincible. I bet he lasts the longest p>
“If it’s just pressure, Sophie should win p>
“How about a wager? I’m betting on Joanna p>
“I’m betting on Joanna too p>
“Heh, me too. Joanna, it is p>
“Katherine, it’s you again, right? You think we’ll let you fleece us again? I’m betting on Joanna. Open a pool p>
“Open, my ass,” Katherine cursed. People were harder to scam now. She missed the training program days, when rich fools lined up to throw money around. Not like these cowards now.
Some sophomores and juniors in the crowd also felt the terrifying pressure of the evil god. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

“You guys really have blind faith in Joanna. Out of the three, she’s the only one without invincibility or defense skills. How can vou trust her that much p>
Because Joanna never disappointed.
At that moment, Joanna also activated her ability.
A visible light shield, like a miniature atmosphere, enveloped her body.
“Soul Storm p>
But the storm was tightly compressed, existing only within an eight-foot radius around her.
“Everyone ready? Then let’s begin p>
The professor reached out and touched the evil god statue. Instantly, everyone saw the blood vessels sealed within the crystal begin to writhe.
The vessels crawled out of the crystal, just a tiny bit.
That tiny protrusion immediately turned into a streak of red light that struck all three of them.
In an instant, a sizzling sound echoed, like extreme heat welding steel.
George’s ice coffin began to melt. Sophie’s angel wings were stained with blotches of blood.
Only Joanna’s shield seemed untouched.
Joanna immediately understood. Her Soul Storm was perfectly countering the evil god’s
pressure.
The professor spoke, “This evil god statue carries the modifier ‘Confusion.’ It causes humans to lose the ability to distinguish friend from foe and attack allies.
“Once you attack a teammate, it means you couldn’t withstand the evil god’s pressure, and you’re eliminated p>
Joanna frowned.
