Chapter 811: Taking Things Seriously
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The G.o.d Alliance… I just don’t know if the Lord G.o.d of Light will succeed?”
The Rock Progenitors could now only hope that the Lord G.o.d of Light would be able to persuade the other seven G.o.d organizations of the G.o.d Alliance. However, on further thought, the two Rock Progenitors felt somewhat despondent.
At the moment, the Rock Tribe’s position was rather embarra.s.sing. Although they had formed an alliance with the Lord G.o.d of Light and the Atlan civilization, in truth, the Rock Tribe’s forces were increasingly worn down, and by now, it was only supported by the two ultimate existences.
Previously, the Lord G.o.d of Light was merely one ultimate existence but now, if the eight Lord G.o.ds of the G.o.d Alliance arrived in person, the Rock Tribe would be completely sidelined. Even if the Spell Caster civilization was wiped out in the future, the benefits obtained by the Rock Tribe would be very limited. If the G.o.d Alliance became greedy, the Rock Tribe might even be in danger.
Moreover, the Atlan civilization was not that simple as well. They possessed a wars.h.i.+p that could kill an ultimate existence along with those endless wars.h.i.+ps and puppets. They were further supported by a dimension as wondrous as the Atlan Dimension. The Atlan civilization was not afraid of anyone at all.
Only the Rock Tribe was the weakest force. In addition, they had no more aces up their sleeves.
Nevertheless, the Rock Tribe was unable to back down now. Even if they backed out, the Spell Caster civilization would not spare them. Therefore, they could only put on a bold face and continue the fight.
“It’s a disaster brought about by greed…”
The two Rock Progenitors could only sigh inwardly. Back then, they had a momentary slip in judgment, thinking that they had to fight for a bigger living s.p.a.ce for the Rock Tribe. However, this resulted in the current outcome. If they had known that things would develop in this manner, they would never have started a war with the Spell Caster civilization.
The two Rock Progenitors had hearts weighed with worries. They felt powerless in the face of this war. This was no longer the result they wanted. As for the mysterious Marshall of the Atlan civilization, he stared steadily at the images, his face turning gloomier as Merlin and the rest worked unceasingly to seal the Atlan Dimension.
He knew that based on their current abilities, they had no way to contend against Merlin and the rest. If their dimension was sealed, the forces of the Atlan civilization which entered the Void Zone would suffer a grievous loss.
Nonetheless, the Marshall had other plans as well. He did not care about the sealing. What he was concerned about was whether the Spell Caster civilization could preserve the seal. This was a crucial point. Otherwise, even if it was momentarily sealed, they would just need some time to easily break it.
“Lord G.o.d-level divinity – I believe those Lord G.o.ds of the G.o.d Alliance will surely be tempted!”
A strange glint flashed across the Marshall’s eyes.
“Haha…”
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared within the foyer, following which wave after wave of terrifying pressure descended, almost causing everyone in the dimension to feel suffocated.
“Swoosh.”
The two Rock Progenitors and the mysterious Marshall quickly turned their gazes toward the foyer where a familiar figure – the Lord G.o.d of Light – slowly walked out from the holy light.
It was not just the Lord G.o.d of Light for there were other unfamiliar ultimate existences. One, two, three… Including the Lord G.o.d of Light, there were eight ultimate existences. These were the eight Lord G.o.ds of the G.o.d Alliance!
“The eight Lord G.o.ds… Lord G.o.d of Light, you’ve managed to persuade the G.o.d Alliance?”
The Rock Progenitors’ eyes were filled with astonishment. The eight Lord G.o.ds were the strongest force in this area. As the G.o.d Alliance was too loosely organized, they did not continue to expand. Even so, the G.o.d Alliance was like a boulder that pressed down upon all civilizations.
Now, the eight Lord G.o.ds of the G.o.d Alliance had a.s.sembled!
Upon seeing the Rock Progenitors’ stunned expressions, the Lord G.o.d of Light laughed, feeling pleased. “That’s right, I’ve invited the other seven Lord G.o.ds of the G.o.d Alliance. I believe that with the power of the G.o.d Alliance, the puny Spell Caster civilization would be nothing much. Marshall, what about the divinity you promised?”
The Lord G.o.d of Light’s gaze turned toward the mysterious, gray-armored Marshall. It was not just the Lord G.o.d of Light for the other seven Lord G.o.ds were also sizing up the Marshall, their eyes glimmering with an eager light.
“Divinity? Of course. I won’t go back on what I’ve promised.”
With that, the Marshall immediately took out some divinity, tossed it to the Lord G.o.d of Light. However, although this divinity was abundant, it was too little when split between eight of them.
“That’s not right. The divinity you promised before is more than this small amount!”
The Lord G.o.d of Light frowned. At the same time, the gazes of the other seven Lord G.o.ds turned slightly hostile. Their main objective in coming here was to obtain the Lord G.o.d-level divinity.
If this divinity did not satisfy their demands, they would immediately explode.
The Marshall’s expression was calm, appearing unperturbed as he said evenly, “Everyone, initially the divinity was sufficient but some developments have occurred. Have a look, please.”
Following that, the Marshall displayed once more, before everyone, the images of what happened at the Atlan Dimension.
“The Avian Monarch, Chronos, Augustus, and Roman who controls a gravitational field along with the Slothful Beast. Since when did the Spell Caster civilization gather such powerful forces?”
The Lord G.o.d of Light’s eyes dimmed slightly as he spoke icily.
“Not just these. Earlier, we’ve discovered that the Mother Tree of the Tree Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization’s Arcane Wizard Ceci are guarding the Spell Caster civilization. Which is to say, in addition to the Slothful Beast, the Spell Caster civilization currently has equivalent to seven ultimate existences!”
Seven ultimate existences – even the seven Lord G.o.ds of the G.o.d Alliance, who were insufferably arrogant and did not take the war seriously, now looked increasingly serious.
“How can a mere Spell Caster civilization gather such powerful forces?”
Only then did the Lord G.o.ds of the G.o.d Alliance thought about it carefully, realizing that this war was not what they imagined, an event that would not concern them.
If in this war, the Spell Caster civilization defeated the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization, having gathered so much frightening power, they would turn to the G.o.d Alliance.
After all, the current Spell Caster civilization, solely in terms of the number of ultimate existences, was merely behind the G.o.d Alliance by one. This was an immense threat to the entire G.o.d Alliance.
“The Spell Caster civilization, the Giant Tribe, the Tree Tribe, and the Avian Tribe – all four civilizations have joined forces. This is something that’s never happened. Our G.o.d Alliance has been too arrogant!”
After a long moment, the Lord G.o.d of Flame spoke ruefully. Without them realizing, the Spell Caster civilization had gathered this powerful group, second only to the G.o.d Alliance. If the eight G.o.d organizations were as loosely consolidated as before, they would be in danger. For the first time, the Lord G.o.ds of the G.o.d Alliance started to take this war with the Spell Caster civilization seriously.
“Dear Lord G.o.ds, I believe that you’ve witnessed the Spell Caster civilization’s present strength. They wish to seal the Atlan Dimension, cutting off our link to the Atlan Dimension. Therefore, the divinity that all of you require can’t be delivered.”
The Marshall did not say anything else after this as for the entire foyer was filled with a somber mood. Although the eight G.o.d organizations of the G.o.d Alliance were usually not very harmonious, being rather disorderly, as they witnessed the strength gathered by the Spell Caster civilization, they felt a vague sense of pressure.
“Sealing the Atlan Dimension… With these people, even if they’ve sealed it, we’ll be able to break it! I’m sure they don’t know that we’ve arrived. Very well. This will be our chance. If we can corner and kill one or two of them, our chances of victory are greater!”
The Lord G.o.d of Darkness was sinister and vicious, at once thinking of immediately killing the ultimate existences of the Spell Caster civilization. These were ultimate existences, so before the Atlan civilization’s void-level wars.h.i.+p appeared, the only way an ultimate existence could be killed off suddenly was by a group attack.
Now, since they had gathered eight Lord G.o.ds in addition to two Rock Progenitors, they had ten ultimate existences in total. Furthermore, the void-level wars.h.i.+p that could kill an ultimate existence at any time was hidden in the dark.
This fearsome force was enough to overwhelm and kill an ultimate existence.
Lord G.o.d of Darkness’ words made everyone’s eyes brightened. This was a good plan indeed. Still, the Rock Progenitor was somewhat hesitant, saying softly, “If we want to overwhelm an ultimate existence, wouldn’t the best option be Arcane Wizard Ceci and the Mother Tree who are guarding the Spell Caster civilization?”
Nonetheless, the mysterious Marshall replied, “It may look like the Mother Tree and Ceci are the weakest links, and that we should kill them. However, according to my data, the Mother Tree isn’t easily defeated. He excels in defense in the first place. Usually, he can hold on for very long even with three to five ultimate existences attacking. Moreover, he’s already prepared in advance and must’ve made some preparations. If we attack them hastily, the Mother Tree and Arcane Wizard Ceci will surely allow the other ultimate existences to hurry back. At that point, we’ll be trapped by enemies on both sides and lose our chance.”
The Marshall’s a.n.a.lysis was thorough. Everyone also had an understanding of the Mother Tree, knowing his specialty. It was rather difficult indeed to surround and kill the Mother Tree.
“That’s right. Surrounding and killing the Mother Tree and Arcane Wizard Ceci isn’t the best choice.”
The Lord G.o.d of Light nodded as well, agreeing with the Marshall’s a.n.a.lysis.
The two Progenitors of the Rock Tribe had harbored some apprehensions, considering it for a moment before saying, “If we all go, who will guard this place?”
“Guard? There’s no need to guard this place at all. How many dimensions does the Rock Tribe have left? If you lose them, you lose them. It’s nothing much. As long as we annihilate the Spell Caster civilization, anything can be regained.”
The Lord G.o.d of Light spoke with a cold laugh. He understood the Rock Progenitors’ reasoning. This place was the Rock Tribe’s foundation, and the Rock Tribe had suffered the greatest loss in this war. Others did not care about these dimensions at all but the Rock Tribe could not afford to be indifferent.
This was because this was the Rock Tribe’s foundation!
“This is the foundation of our Rock Tribe. Nothing must happen to this place! Thus, someone must stay behind to guard this. Hanra, you follow them. Nine ultimate existences are enough to deal with those people!”
In the end, the Rock Tribe left behind one Progenitor to stand guard. Even if Ceci and the Mother Tree attacked together, that Progenitor could hold on for a long time. After all, the Mother Tree excelled in defense, thus his attack was average, even slightly weaker than Arcane Wizard Ceci.
“Alright, there’s no time to lose. Let’s hurry over now!”
The Lord G.o.d of Light looked murderous from head to toe. Nine ultimate existences – this time, they must completely wipe out all of the Spell Caster civilization’s hope!
