My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 480 - 481: The War Begins!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
The decrees issued by the Demon God Abyss rippled through every corner of the Demon Realm in an instant.
These arrogant commands echoed directly within the consciousness of every member of the Demon Race.
Within their society, power is the only law, and the Demon God stands as the ultimate sovereign.
They would offer nothing less than total, unconditional obedience to his will!
"Awoo---!!!"
"For Lord Demon God!"
"Tear those insects apart!!"
A brief moment of silence was followed by a frenzied, tidal wave of responses!
Under the influence of the Demon God’s decree, all hesitation was purged, replaced by the most primal and savage lust for slaughter.
The monstrous demons lurking in the heart of the realm shed their disguises and awakened simultaneously.
Like a flood, they surged toward the Demon Realm's borders, targeting the unified forces of the Alternate Space.
Their sheer mass was so vast that it blotted out the sky, which had only just begun to see the sun again.
Spearheading this horde were nearly ten demons at the Totem Level Nine stage.
The earth itself trembled and groaned beneath the rhythmic stomping of the demonic legion.
However, the Alternate Space coalition was no less impressive.
Guided by several Totem Level Nine dragons, they advanced into the Demon Realm’s heart, accompanied by the Totem-level elites of various other races.
The two opposing tides of power soon clashed head-on.
There was no room for dialogue or wasted movements.
The two massive armies collided violently the moment they met.
Following a thunderous impact,
the world seemed to freeze for a heartbeat before exploding into a chaotic symphony of violence.
The heavens were the first to give way.
"Roar---!!!"
A group of golden dragons at Totem Level Nine let out sky-shattering roars as they engaged the Totem Level Nine demons in the initial wave of combat.
"Boom---!!!"
Shockwaves from the energy discharge instantly vaporized any low-tier demons within a several-mile radius.
Predicting this, Tushan Yueli had already commanded all coalition units below the Totem level to fall back.
This foresight significantly reduced the coalition's losses.
The Totem Level Nine warriors on both sides recognized the situation.
Their clash was far too destructive for weaker beings to survive in the vicinity.
Thus, by mutual but unspoken agreement,
they ascended higher into the sky, shifting their duel further away from the ground.
Down on the earth,
the lower-ranked soldiers of both factions began their engagement.
The battlefield transformed into a literal meat grinder in a matter of seconds.
In a conflict of this scale, individual strength was secondary.
Survival was only possible through absolute unity.
Tushan Yueli’s role was to ensure that every soldier could hold onto that sliver of hope...
while inflicting the maximum possible devastation upon the Demon Race.
"All defensive Guardian Beasts, maintain the formation!"
At the vanguard, a commander screamed until the veins in his neck were visible.
One after another, defensive Guardian Beasts were summoned to the front of the line.
They soon formed a solid wall of biological armor at the head of the army.
Barely a second after the wall was established, the demon tide struck like a tsunami!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
The heavy thuds of the collision merged into a single, unending pulse of noise.
Guardian Beasts in the front row were crushed and shattered before everyone's eyes.
Yet, in this dire moment, no Beast Master wavered in grief, and no beast showed a hint of terror.
Even with death staring them in the face!
"Long-range Guardian Beasts, release maximum firepower!!"
Behind the front lines, the long-range units finally found their opening to strike.
A storm of projectiles soared over the defensive Guardian Beasts, crashing into the demon horde that had been momentarily halted by the impact.
Fire, wind blades, and frost...
Elemental attacks of every kind detonated within the demonic ranks, causing dozens to fall with agonized cries.
The wall of defensive Guardian Beasts had successfully secured a window of safety for the artillery units.
But the demons were simply too numerous.
The fallen were trampled into a bloody slurry as those from the rear scrambled over the corpses of their own kind to continue the assault.
They attacked with tooth and nail, throwing their bodies against the line.
The pressure eventually became too much for the defensive Guardian Beasts to withstand.
Slowly, the line began to splinter under the relentless demonic pressure.
Tushan Yueli, however, remained calm and composed.
She extended her Spiritual Power across the entire theater of war,
monitoring every detail and every combatant.
Just as the demons were about to break through, Tushan Yueli’s voice resonated in the minds of the soldiers.
"All members of the Ghost Race, move to the front and hold the line!"
"Blood Race and Angel Race, provide support from behind the Ghost Race."
"Qingqiu Race, focus all efforts on amplifying the status of our allies."
...
As Tushan Yueli issued her orders,
each race performed its designated role perfectly.
Under her strategic guidance, the battlefield began to stabilize.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Gu Xing turned his attention toward the dark heart of the Demon Realm.
It was time for him to begin his own mission.
Even if the coalition managed to wipe out every demon in sight,
it would mean nothing if the Demon God Abyss remained standing.
A single Demon God possessed the power to wipe out the entire coalition single-handedly.
Gu Xing took a deep breath to steady his heart.
He spoke softly, giving his final instructions:
"Liu Li, Vera, Qing Shuang, you are with me. We face the Demon God."
"Snow Woman, I will provide you with all the support you need; your task is to keep coalition casualties to a minimum."
"And Lilith, the blood on this field belongs to you! Ensure not a single Totem Level Nine escapes!"
Gu Xing’s strategy was carefully calculated.
Currently, only Liu Li, Vera, and Qing Shuang held Divine Positions.
Only those with Divine Positions had any hope of harming the Demon God Abyss.
As for Snow Woman and Lilith,
one possessed unmatched healing powers, while the other could grow stronger by absorbing the blood of the fallen.
These two Guardian Beasts were perfectly suited for a massive battlefield.
Therefore, Gu Xing decided they would stay behind to maintain the coalition’s momentum.
Upon hearing the plan, Lilith raised her crimson eyes but remained silent.
Although she had reached Totem Level Nine,
and her physique had undergone a mysterious mutation due to the Blood Covenant,
she still lacked the half-origin talents that made Guardian Beasts like Liu Li and Vera so formidable.
Snow Woman had no complaints either.
Direct combat was never her specialty.
Joining the fight against the Demon God would only make her a liability to Gu Xing.
On this battlefield, however, her skills were invaluable.
After finishing the orders, Gu Xing paused as if remembering something important.
He turned back to Lilith and added:
"Please, keep an eye on Ying Bing and the others for me!"
It was a personal request, but Gu Xing felt it was necessary.
Given that Ying Bing and the others were only at the Monarch level, they were in extreme danger in a war of this magnitude.
He had previously warned them to stay away from the front lines.
But none of them had listened.
"I will!"
Gu Xing nodded after Lilith gave her word.
His preparations were finally complete.
He turned toward Long Qingyan and Feng Ni, speaking in a measured tone:
"Seniors, I am counting on your support!"
