Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 464 -464-The Sinister Observer

Darkfang Empire.

A massive influx of refugees, escaping the ruin of the Skywing Kingdom, surged into the imperial borders.

King Charlie sat motionless on his throne, his expression a mask of pure shock and disbelief.

The intelligence had already reached his ears—

The Skywing Kingdom was no more.

Elizabeth had staged a return, leading a military force of nightmares.

Tens of millions of True God–level troops...

That figure by itself was enough to shatter any thought of defiance in his heart.

Even if the Darkfang Empire were to conscript every available soul, they could not assemble even ten thousand True Gods.

It was easy to envision the absolute despair that would follow if such a world-ending army marched upon the Darkfang Empire.

The mere thought was too much for him to stomach.

"That cursed woman... her fortune is beyond belief. To have secured the backing of such a formidable empire..."

"This must be a force at the level of a Divine Empire!"

Charlie’s soul burned with a mixture of bitterness and envy.

Facing such overwhelming strength, a direct confrontation would lead the Darkfang Empire to nothing but total extinction.

Yet, to do nothing was simply to wait for the executioner's blade.

Considering Elizabeth’s newfound cruelty and conviction, she would never overlook the Darkfang Empire—one of the nations that had participated in the past encirclement of the SpiritSong Kingdom.

"Your Majesty! A messenger from the Scions of the Sacred Dragon has arrived with a sealed missive!"

A palace sentinel announced from beyond the throne room doors.

"Bring it here this instant!" Charlie barked.

Entering the hall, the guard presented the letter with a respectful bow.

Charlie scanned the contents rapidly, a sharp flicker of hope suddenly dancing in his eyes.

"The River of Silent Extinction..."

"The Observer!"

This truly represented their final chance at survival.

After all, once Elizabeth finished her business with the Skywing Kingdom and his own people, her path would inevitably lead her to the Observer.

If the Observer was warned of the situation ahead of time, there was no reason for him to remain idle.

"Issue the decree!" Charlie ordered with newfound resolve.

"Recall the primary strength of the Darkfang Legion to the capital for defense immediately! Summon every expert of God King–rank or higher from every border territory!"

At the very least, he had to guarantee the survival of the throne and the capital until the Observer intervened to handle this massive threat.

...

River of Silent Extinction

This was a massive waterway that carved through the Chaotic Realm.

The currents of the River of Silent Extinction consisted of corrosive fluids, born from the merging of rotting timber, putrid remains, and the filth of countless lands. As it wound through the forbidden territory of the Black Domain Swamp, the waters became infused with the Law of Decay, resulting in its current state.

These waters were capable of eroding all life—including the fundamental origin of the soul.

Even cultivators at the Sacred Radiance–rank found themselves in lethal peril upon contact, let alone Sage Kings, God Kings, or True Gods.

Even the mist drifting off the river carried the Law of Decay; a mere touch resulted in grievous injury.

The Observer held a specific divine artifact—

Ferry.

This modest vessel was carved from a piece of divine timber saturated with unique laws. It remained buoyant on the water and could withstand the corrosive rot of the river and its vapors alike.

Consequently, many travelers who lacked the power to cross the River of Silent Extinction safely were prepared to pay any price for a passage on this boat.

An expert of Sacred Radiance–rank from the Scions of the Sacred Dragon reached the muddy bank.

Dragonblood divine light radiated from his form, barely repelling the thick decay saturating the atmosphere.

The surface of the river was swallowed by a dark gray haze, making it impossible to see.

Even spiritual senses attempting to penetrate the fog would be quickly eaten away and neutralized.

The Sacred Radiance expert sent his voice booming across the water.

"Lord Observer! The Scions of the Sacred Dragon seek an audience regarding a matter of great urgency!"

Silence was the only reply.

He called out once more, raising his volume:

"Elizabeth has returned! The remnants of the SpiritSong Kingdom have already breached the Chaotic Realm!"

Suddenly, a dim, spectral light flickered within the gray vapors.

An ancient, small boat drifted out of the mist without a sound and pulled up to the bank.

A figure draped in a shredded hood sat upon the vessel.

The Sacred Radiance expert bowed low without hesitation.

"My lord! Elizabeth has come back with a mighty army and has already laid waste to the Skywing Kingdom!"

"The SpiritSong Kingdom... has come seeking vengeance."

"Vengeance..."

A gravelly voice vibrated in the air.

The hood shifted upward, exposing a pair of unsettling, deathly white eyes.

The corners of his lips slowly pulled back, revealing a cold and malicious grin.

The Sacred Dragon expert felt his skin crawl, not daring to display even a hint of rudeness.

"That curse from years ago..."

"It was still far too kind."

"To exist in agonizing torment—longing for death but unable to find it—that is the ultimate retribution."

The Observer’s laughter turned even more frigid, dripping with poisonous spite.

"My lord," the Sacred Radiance expert noted cautiously,

"Elizabeth has allied herself with what seems to be a Divine Empire–level entity. You must exercise caution."

"The Skywing Kingdom was destroyed by that very power."

"A Divine Empire–level power..."

"How intriguing."

There wasn't a hint of anxiety in the Observer’s voice.

He existed alone in this world, tethered to nothing.

Provided his objectives were met, he cared nothing for which Divine Empire stood in his path.

As for the true motives behind this warning from the Scions of the Sacred Dragon—he saw through them completely.

With Elizabeth back, she would undoubtedly hunt him down.

Excellent.

Past blood-debts and current grudges—

Everything would be settled at once.

...

Eura Continent

Aurek had already made his way back to the Divine Sanctuary.

War reports from the Radiant God Realm were stacked like mountains before him, and he examined each one carefully.

Both Unar Province and Starreach Province were now firmly under control.

However, he knew a violent retaliation from Olympian God Mountain and the arrival of its strongest combatants was only a matter of time.

Aurek had foreseen this development from the start.

Consequently, he sent direct instructions to the Abyssal Demon Realm.

One of the three quasi–Sage Lords of the Dark Council, bound by a soul slave seal, was summoned back.

Simultaneously, three Divine Oracles from the Ossuary Court, along with nearly a hundred newly recruited Divine Radiants, were sent to infiltrate the Radiant God Realm.

Furthermore, a third of the Abyssal Demon Realm’s standing armies were recalled and deployed to the god-realm front.

Even though the Council of the Dark Order had been dismantled and the Crossbridge Empire reigned supreme over the Abyssal Demon Realm—

Numerous lower worlds previously ruled by the Council still required a military presence.

There was also another vital location to consider—

The Other Shore Beyond the Heavens.

This place stood alongside the Golden Feather Plateau and Mount Wumeng as one of the three great forbidden zones of the Abyssal Demon Realm.

It served as a portal to other high-tier realms, a point where powerful beings from beyond frequently appeared.

Because of this, two-thirds of the Empire’s elite battalions, two quasi–Sage Lords, and the majority of the Bone Clan’s Divine Radiants were stationed there under heavy guard.

Regarding the post-war stabilization, the merging of lands, and administrative tasks—

Aurek assigned those duties to the rising stars of the Imperial Academy, using the situation as a field exercise.

"Radiant God Realm..."

Aurek’s eyes were shadowed with deep thought. He did not take this genuine upper realm lightly.

It housed not only Olympian God Mountain but also several Divine Empire–level nations like the Devers Divine Empire and the Frostwinter Realm.

While the Abyssal Demon Realm could barely support a single Council of the Dark Order—

The Radiant God Realm was vast enough to sustain multiple Divine Empire–level powers at once.

That fact alone was proof of its terrifying depth.

Furthermore—

The Radiant God Realm was positioned closer to the firmament and was linked to the Starry Chaos, involving a complex web of international forces.

For example—

What was the real background of the White Lady?

It was impossible for it to be as straightforward as she claimed.

And what about the secrets Elizabeth was keeping?

Kaos and Beyoncé were clearly more than they appeared as well.

After all, Lawrence, who was concealed within the Golden Feather Plateau, was obviously an acquaintance of Kaos—there was definitely a tie between them.

Moreover, the sheer intensity of the murderous intent Lawrence directed at him left Aurek deeply confused.

Perhaps only by achieving total conquest of the Radiant God Realm—

And by truly entering the limitless Starry Chaos—

Would the solutions to these riddles finally manifest, one after another.
